The Amazing son in law Chapter 6525
Helena inquired, “How long does Mr. Rothschild estimate it will take to complete everything?”
Howard responded, “Well… I’ve been in touch with the individual overseeing the AI project. We’ve had a discussion, and he indicated that it might take at least two years.”
“Two years?!” Helena exclaimed, surprised, and pressed on, “What makes it take so long?”
Howard quickly clarified, “This timeframe isn’t unreasonable, Your Majesty the Queen. I’ve looked into it thoroughly. The prolonged duration is primarily due to several challenging factors.”
“For instance, our team needs to first identify a suitable location in Northern Europe for the data center. The preparation process is extensive, involving site selection, design, bidding, and construction, along with the procurement, installation, and testing of equipment like cabinets, cooling systems, power supplies, and communication optical cables, all of which require significant time to complete individually.”
“Moreover, I’ve discovered that the essential hardware for developing AI models is the Nvidia H100 graphics card. This particular model is specifically engineered to deliver the computational power needed for AI applications. Almost all AI models depend on this graphics card for their processing capabilities. Consequently, its demand has surged, leading to skyrocketing prices and many companies struggling to secure supplies—even those willing to pay large sums are finding long wait times for delivery.”
“To build this AI system, we need a minimum of 35,000 of these graphics cards. Just waiting for them could extend beyond the two-year mark. I plan to reach out to NVIDIA to see if we can expedite our place in line.”
Howard continued, “Additionally, there’s another significant hurdle: migrating the database for the AI model. The amount of human knowledge and information that the AI has assimilated is staggering—reportedly, if all of it were stored on hard drives, those drives would weigh over 150 tons.”
“Furthermore, it’s been noted that transferring this massive dataset via optical cables with the current bandwidth limitations could take years. Therefore, after backing up the data center in Silicon Valley, we’ll utilize several trucks designed for large-scale data migrations to transport the over 100 tons of hard drives to Northern Europe. While this method is significantly faster than using traditional data transfer, it still involves a considerable amount of work, making the two-year estimate relatively swift.”
Upon hearing this, Helena replied firmly, “Mr. Howard, I understand that there are numerous challenges, but I firmly believe that any obstacle can be overcome with determination. If you commit all your efforts to this project and explore every avenue to expedite it, I assure you that the moment the AI model is operational in Northern Europe, I will grant you the right to purchase half of the elixir. You can acquire it immediately, without any delay.”
Howard, caught off guard, asked excitedly, “Your Majesty, are you serious?!”
After experiencing a stroke, he had gained a profound insight: the Rothschild family is a substantial enterprise that isn’t deterred by losses or expenditures. The crucial factor is his longevity. Securing the first two pills would significantly enhance his chances of living beyond ninety.
“If I can obtain three pills, doesn’t that mean I could potentially reach a hundred?”
Helena had directly touched upon his most pressing concern.
At that moment, Helena stated earnestly, “Everything I’ve said is absolutely genuine. I make this promise based on my own reputation and that of the entire Nordic royal family.”
Howard quickly followed up, “Then, how quickly do I need to secure this purchasing right?”
Helena pondered for a moment and replied seriously, “If you ask for my opinion, the sooner the better. If you want a specific deadline, I believe it should not exceed one month at the most!”
