Chapter 70: Tremble, Douyin is officially launched! (Please read it later)
In addition, the sustained computing power of Tianhe-2566A is 4700 teraflops and the peak is teraflops.

To be honest, this computing power is still very powerful. It was the world's number one three years ago, and it is completely sufficient for the artificial intelligence Jarvis to use.

As for Tianhe-2, which was launched last year and has stronger computing power.

The manufacturing cost of that thing alone is 25 billion, and if it is sold to a private enterprise, a little profit must be added. This price is not something Xingtu Technology can afford now.

So Lin Feng didn't say anything and directly paid a deposit of 5000 million yuan to let them assemble, produce and test it first, and then transport the supercomputer cabinet to Xiaohe Town after everything was completed.

As for where this supercomputer is placed, it is naturally placed in the underground space of the Xingtu Technology headquarters building.

Because there is a small river next to Xingtu Technology, which never freezes and has water all year round.

So after some special design, this river can be turned into a small power station to provide part of the electricity for supercomputers.

Finally, the water flowing through this stream can also serve as coolant for supercomputers and data storage servers, and has many uses.

But these are things of the future, even though supercomputers are being manufactured urgently.

The excavation of the Xingtu headquarters building is also in an expedited manner, with work being done on the building foundation, supercomputing basement and data storage basement.

But even so, it would take half a year to clear out the first floor of the headquarters building for office use and simultaneous construction.

Moreover, in the past six months, only the first floor has been used for emergency purposes. In fact, we still need to continue to build higher floors and carry out interior decoration.

It will take about two years to complete the entire construction.

It can only be said that the headquarters building of Xingtu Technology is really too large. It adopts the shape of an alien flying saucer with low sides and a high middle. This structural design naturally results in it occupying a very large area.

Although it only has 9 floors, its actual total area is comparable to the total area of ​​many domestic commercial buildings with more than floors. It is naturally impossible to speed up the construction at this time.

But these are minor details. It only takes half a year, and Xingtu Technology can afford to wait.

……

Time passed so quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was January 2014, 1, and there were only a dozen days left until the Spring Festival.

While many people were busy preparing for the Spring Festival, Bilibili, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly released a big move.

At 8 o'clock in the morning of that day, a short video software called Douyin was quietly launched on the market.

The launch of this software did not cause much stir because there are so many short video software currently.

Since Kuaishou became popular, not only has King Penguin become jealous and entered the short video field, launching Penguin Weishi, but the boss who founded Ku6 Video Network has also launched Miaopai, and Weibo has also launched Weibo Miaopai.

As of January 2014, there are already dozens of short video apps of all sizes, such as Weipai, Papaqi, Weiluoke...

Of course, although there are many short video software, the three that can be truly called influential are Kuaishou, Penguin Weishi, and Weibo Miaopai.

In this case, the addition of a short video called Tik Tok on major platforms did not actually cause any stir.

Although the Douyin short video is backed by the recently famous Bilibili, the background of the three major short video softwares is very deep, and their strength has surpassed Bilibili!
So the short video app named Douyin was quietly launched online. Apart from the promotional activities on the B station’s own website and app, there was not even any news advertising. As for the effect of Douyin’s listing?
All we can say is that the performance on the first day was just average. Backed by Bilibili’s millions of registered users, Douyin successfully gained one million users on the first day.

Of course, these one million users do not need to re-register, as the account data of Bilibili and Douyin are interoperable.

As long as they log in to their Bilibili account, they can directly jump to the software, click confirmation, and then log in to their Douyin account.

It is also worth mentioning that not only Douyin was launched today, but Bilibili and the live broadcast platform also simultaneously updated the second-generation Douyin recommendation algorithm.

It turned out that during these ten days, Lin Feng relied on B station to continuously attract traffic, and when the number of views of the promotional video exceeded 1000 million times, he finally upgraded the second-generation Douyin recommendation algorithm.

So Lin Feng naturally used the second-generation Douyin recommendation algorithm on Bilibili, its live broadcast platform, and the Douyin software.

So today, netizens of Bilibili were surprised to find that for some reason, every video recommended by Bilibili and its live broadcast room made them so interested in clicking and watching.

But they only had time, so they could only watch obediently.

Later, the backend of Bilibili discovered that the viewing time of Bilibili’s video users had quietly increased from more than 20 minutes to more than 40 minutes, which has doubled!
If browsing time doubles, it means that the number of times users view ads has doubled, so revenue will naturally increase significantly!
Of course, the focus of B station now is not on B station itself, but on the TikTok software.

Because compared to Bilibili, Douyin currently does not have many short video resources. The main short video resources come from some shorter videos on Bilibili that do not exceed 2 minutes.

In this case, due to the shortage of short video resources, their Douyin still has the possibility of failure.

Fortunately, Douyin has also been introduced into the live broadcast content on Bilibili’s live broadcast platform, so that Bilibili does not appear deserted.

In addition, in order to make up for the serious shortage of short video resources, under the strong emphasis and promotion of Lin Feng, Bilibili launched a crazy event called "Tik Tok, record a beautiful life".

This crazy activity is launched during the 7 days since its launch. As long as users meet the basic requirement of browsing short videos for 5 minutes, the short video uploading function will be automatically activated.

This short video uploading function can be used to upload and create short videos. As long as the short videos are not deliberately shot, you can unconditionally get a 5 yuan WeChat red envelope after one week!

And this WeChat red envelope is not short-term. As long as you upload and publish short videos for three consecutive days, you can get an 8 yuan red envelope.

If you upload at least 7 short videos for 7 consecutive days, you can get a red envelope of 15 yuan!

This amount of money is a small amount for ordinary users, but it is a huge burden for Bilibili.

Because if they fail to make a profit in just one week, they will be burdened with the pressure of repaying tens of millions of dollars!
After all, let’s not talk about the 8 yuan and 15 yuan red envelopes, let’s just talk about the 5 yuan red envelopes.

如果有100万人上传了他们的8秒或者16秒乃至60秒短视频，那B站就要支出500万元。

If there are 1000 million people, then Bilibili will have to pay 5000 million yuan, so this activity is actually very expensive, and if you are not careful, Bilibili may go bankrupt.

Of course, as long as users can stay and truly use Tik Tok instead of closing the software immediately after uploading short videos, then this activity, although crazy, is as stable as an old dog.

　Today is Tuesday, the moment that decides fate. Please keep reading.
