My players are so fierce

Chapter 1421 1418. I am just bragging about the open beta, but you actually take it seriously?

After many days of transportation, players wandering around the mainland were basically gathered on the defense line of the giant locust wall.

Nearly 15,000 players participated in the grand event here, making the entire defense line extremely noisy. They could be seen jumping and walking in strange ways everywhere, and every place where there was fun was The activity of these guys is indispensable.

They are so capable of causing trouble!

Harassing soldiers who are tired from fighting in an attempt to "trigger missions" has caused conflicts to break out in the military camp from time to time. This makes commanders at all levels extremely distressed, but they still choose to silently endure this group of crazy foreigners from time to time. All kinds of weird stuff.

Just because they all know that when they need to fight, they can always trust this group of otherworldly fools.

Especially when they braved the increasingly dangerous sea of ​​​​insects to drag those soldiers who could no longer survive back to their positions, every soldier who had insulted them would express their apologies to the players in the most ashamed manner, but they were completely unaware Little did he know that these heroic battles and noble rescues were just "missions planned by dogs".

But for the development team, coordinating the interaction of so many players and the triggering of real-time tasks is also a very scary thing in every sense of the word.

"Death, death, death!!!"

As soon as Murphy opened his eyes from Cuisi's fragrant arms, ready to face the new day energetically, he heard Ms. Rose's "sad cry of a defeated dog" in his ears.

The weak and anxious tone startled Murphy. While he was looking for his own clothes from the bedside to put on, he asked curiously:

"What's wrong with you? Did you lose the battle between gods? The Kingdom of God was invaded by evil spirits from subspace? Do you need me to call for sentry support for you?"

"No, it's because the server load is too big. My kingdom has been filled with all kinds of data."

Rose sighed and said:

“I underestimated the terrifying data flow that would be generated when all the little players were thrown into a small garden area and allowed to interact with the surrounding beings as much as they wanted!

Fifteen thousand people are triggering various random tasks almost all the time. I have devoted two-thirds of the computing power of the Kingdom of God to do real-time calculations, but just last night the core of the Kingdom of God was down. Tried four times.

This can't go on like this!

Murphy, I apply to urgently open more servers to support this computing power war. "

"Huh? You can't stand up to these fifteen thousand people?"

Murphy also had a helpless look on his face. He leaned down and kissed the scar on Tris's back, then helped his wife cover the quilt, and then said to Rose:

"I will be releasing new game helmets one after another. After tomorrow's new version update, 33,000 new players including the expanded Hell Troopers will log in to the game. This is a double data increase. quantity!

Ms. Rose, can you, a thin dog like you, do it? "

"Twice? Blanch! Murphy, did your PE teacher sell spicy hotpot before he taught you math?"

Rose screamed in Murphy's consciousness:

"The data interaction of 30,000 more people is not twice the pressure at all! This thing is increasing exponentially. Once so many new players are connected to the game system, it will definitely overload my data kingdom in an instant, which has already knitted it for me. A smaller half of the world's web would also have devastating effects.

Must be expanded!

Hurry up and set up more redundant database partitions for me in the Creation Engine, which should be five times larger than the current database!

At least five times. "

"Well, I can open up all the database systems where you store the Kingdom of God to you. Anyway, that place used to manage data exchange in the Creator area of ​​the entire world. Now that the Creator system has collapsed, there is no use in leaving that place.

You can use that database as much as you want. "

Murphy said:

"But I estimate that even such a large database is not enough for you, because the number of players will only increase in the future, and if the public beta is opened, I will ask directly. With your current processing power, in What is the upper limit of operation and maintenance that the new database can handle after it is put in place?

“Real-time interaction of ten to fifteen thousand people with the physical world.”

Rose gave a precise answer, but Murphy was not satisfied with it:

"You are a god, madam, how can you only have 100,000 people? Gods of other faiths can manage hundreds of thousands or even millions of believers at the same time."

"Isn't that nonsense?"

Rose cursed fiercely:

"Can other gods of faith handle the needs of believers in the same way as I do? They don't need to install a game interface for each believer that can interact in real time and generate random tasks. The amount of information generated by both automatic responses and real-time interaction Can it be the same?

However, there are actually some tricks. "

The data goddess hesitated and said to Murphy:

"If you can give me an artificial godhead."

"Well, the one that was supposed to be given to Pad was rejected by Blood Horn. That stupid cow had already made up his mind to follow the Mother Goddess Gaia and walk the path of Old Aotou, so in theory it's okay to give it to you. "

Murphy asked in a strange tone:

"But are you sure you want to bear such a constraint? You don't pursue power, and you don't like fighting, right?"

"I don't need it, but the expansion of the Kingdom of Data and the upgrade of the World Network are stuck here. Do you understand? Murphy."

Rose said in a sad tone:

"In the final analysis, my current form is still not divorced from the traditional form of belief in gods. My power depends on the faith of believers, and at a time when data faith is in the ascendant, the faith of shadow elves alone is not enough to support my rapid growth.

After all, their faith is not meant to help me weave the web of the world.

The minds of my Shadow Elf followers are filled with yellow waste. Everyone’s brains are connected to their Happy Beans. Their outdated thinking is even difficult to understand the concept of the World Web. Therefore, I urgently need someone who can A realistic anchor that helps the kingdom of God stabilize and expand.

I specifically asked Kulkan about it, and that silly lady told me that every artificial godhead has a built-in belief management module. To put it bluntly, that thing is an automatic answering machine, but it was designed by the Creator, so its potential is not limited to automatic replies. The prayers of believers.

I thought I could transform that thing and tie the player's real-time interaction with the physical world to that module.

In this way, I don't need to waste my precious computing power on taking care of your foreigners who always like to do fancy things. I believe that the Creator's technical ability can allow that module to complete this default module on my behalf. Assembly line advancement work.

Then, I can focus on weaving the web of my dear world.

When the World Network is completed, it will be able to aggregate these complex data flows into a sea of ​​data that covers the material world. Every ebb and flow will take away the redundancy, just like an automatically executed data deletion instruction. .

Do you get me? Murphy.

I want the artificial godhead not for power, but just to make good use of tools to reduce my burden. Of course, I know that if I take that thing, I will have to shoulder the responsibility of fighting against the evil creatures in subspace. Although my combat ability is not that good, when I need to fight I can help too. "

"Then why not customize a special border contract for you?"

Murphy thought for a while and said:

"Spread your World Web realm to the star realm that is about to be revived. If possible, extend it as far as possible into the subspace, so that players and warriors can also get your help when they set foot in the subspace.

This is very important!

At least as long as you are here, the various smart weapons on them will not suddenly rebel due to the infection of the corrupted meme, and they can also get detailed environment and battlefield guidance when fighting in subspace.

It is equivalent to a ‘Rose version of the evil map’ as standard. "

"Okay, it sounds very challenging. Anyway, just arrange it quickly."

Rose said in a very weak tone:

"I have to integrate this database quickly, otherwise I will have to stage a 'Fall of the Gods' as soon as your 30,000 new recruits come in. But by the way, can you now issue 30,000 helmets at once?

Is this getting rich?

I still remember when we first started working together, you had to pick at hundreds of helmets. "

"You're getting better, aren't you?"

Murphy said proudly:

"The cycle of life and death that I manage is maintained in a very active state, especially after the fishmen were also included in the system. Basically, nearly a thousand quotas were recorded every day regardless of it. As the underworlds in various places gradually get on the right track, this number It will continue to improve.

But it always has a threshold.

Without finding a new breakthrough point, it is still not feasible to launch a hearty public beta on the current scale, but I guess [DATA EXPUNGED] may have left me one last surprise.

The high probability is related to breaking through the upper limit of the number of summons from other worlds.

In short, although you keep complaining that you are tired, I have not seen you give up this job voluntarily. This means that the more players there are, the more helpful it will be to your world network, right? "

"Hmph, you discovered me."

Ms. Rose said weakly and proudly:

"The weaving of the World Web refers to the underlying architecture and upper-layer design of the alien network. It is not that difficult to shape it. The real difficulty lies in the control and control of the information flow. The more players you have, the more their group will produce. The massive data can provide me with a more realistic simulation of the complete data model of the world network.

The more accurate this model is, the better I will be able to control the web of the world in the future.

So in theory, your players are all my ‘testers’!

Like the development team, I also have to go through various stress tests and bug corrections, etc., in order to finally create the most perfect world network, and even use it to mobilize special frequency spiritual energy to give it more powerful authority.

For example, ‘downgraded version of Magic Network’.

Haha, this is just an idea. Whether it can be implemented depends on the future.

Database takeover completed! The expansion of the Kingdom of God begins! I have to go and work on dividing the redundant areas of the data stream. Murphy, let’s have a date when we get some free time. "

"Ah this!"

Murphy shouted in shock:

"Watch your image! Rose, you are a god after all, can you please stop being so frivolous?"

"Hey, I'm going to die trying to be conservative now, okay?"

Ms. Rose complained:

"It's been so long, and you are the only one I have had a one-night stand with. If the traitors from the Abyss Religion find out about this, they will inevitably laugh at me for being a miserable ascetic. Well, speaking of the Abyss Religion."

She hesitated and said to Murphy:

"I'll leave this to you, just think I owe you this once."

"You owe me a lot, but considering that we are currently working well together and you are already one of the most important members of the development team, I am willing to help."

Murphy snapped his fingers and said:

"I'm sorry to trouble you for tomorrow's update server launch. The text information has been uploaded. The server will be released according to the normal process. The insect swarm information database can also be opened together if the integration is completed."

"receive."

Rose answered very professionally:

"Leave it to me, BOSS."

——

"Ahhh! Did I read that right? How many new players have logged in after the 4.0 update? Thirty thousand? Damn it! The launch of satellites has tripled the number of players! What can we do with a total of 45,000 people? Do security work!”

A scream rang out from Brother Zhongzhong's office, mixed with all kinds of curses and the sounds of smashing things. Mustard Zi and Ziwei, who were running over to report their work, looked at each other, shrank their heads and prepared to go back to work. The boss will talk about these trivial matters after he calms down.

But the prodigal brother who came with them had seen strong winds and waves.

When he heard that Brother Zhongzhong was a little out of control, he frowned, opened the door and walked in. He saw Brother Zhongzhong sitting on a chair with a miserable look on his face, smoking a cigarette lonely.

He did a "desk clearing" of the things on the table.

But only his gaming helmet was still there, too treasured.

"I heard it outside."

The prodigal brother, who was promoted to deputy leader of the special task force responsible for real-world helmet security last month, pushed up his anti-blue light glasses and said:

"What's going on? Alpha Company wants to expand the number of players?"

"Yes, the forums and taverns are already crazy about it. They are all saying that Alpha Company has finally solved the production capacity problem. This wave of releasing 30,000 helmets at one time is the beginning of players' carnival, but we all know the actual situation. "

Brother Zhongzhong blew out smoke rings and said desperately:

"And this time, more than 30,000 helmets were actually issued. The Hell Submarine project has also ushered in its third expansion. Counting the previous two expansions, the project now has nearly 8,000 people, but they can only They will only be dispatched under special circumstances, so the impact can basically be ignored.

The problem is that adding 30,000 players at a time will put a devastating pressure on our monitoring system. It is impossible for us to send so many people to monitor the movements of each helmet. "

"Uh, actually you can."

Brother Prodigal handed the document in his hand to Brother Zhongzhong and said:

"From the documents transferred from the base this morning, Uncle Yuncha's working group has completed three tests of the 'Creator Specification Integrated Data Workbench', and it has been confirmed that it can be put online.

Its operating efficiency is more than five times that of the integrated tools we currently use. Not only can it improve office efficiency, but it can also be used to monitor helmet position and player status information by just modifying the parameters.

Best of all, within minutes of completing that bench verification, Alpha sent us the connection parameters for the monitor built into the gaming helmet.

It is basically equivalent to releasing the background monitoring rights of the player's helmet to us.

Although there is still no way to fine-tune each helmet, with this thing, you don't have to worry about losing the helmet. Obviously, they also know what is happening here and use this thing to suggest that we improve the existing monitoring system.

That thing is an electronic product!

You only need to capture the signal to confirm whether it is safe, and there is no need for brothers to run out for human surveillance. "

"Okay! Okay, okay!"

Brother Zhongzhong took the document with a cigarette in his mouth and looked at it. He suddenly patted the table with joy and said:

"Connect with the base immediately! Please ask Uncle Yincha's working team to quickly bring over the prototype and give it a head first. Player signals for the new version to be released tomorrow must be recorded and monitored in real time 24 hours a day."

"That, boss"

Mustard Zi and Ziwei looked at each other, and he stepped forward and said to Brother Zhongzhong:

"Although adopting new tools can free up our workload, in the long run, this still won't work! They mentioned "open beta" this time, which means there are similar plans there.

Now only 45,000 people are leaving us scratching our heads. I don’t even dare to think about the social impact this thing will have if it really spreads.

I feel that if there is no way to stop this, then it is better to control the rhythm of its advancement in our hands! "

"Huh? What do you say?"

Brother Zhongzhong raised his head and looked at Mustard Zi, who shrugged and said:

"Do you still remember how Alpha introduced himself on the forum when "Real World" was first launched? The guy boasted that it was a national project, and also said that it was a preliminary version of the 'Virtual Second Life' project. The ones with noses and eyes.

Now that the cooperation between the two parties is considered to be in-depth, why not put this rumor to bed!

Officials came forward to announce a breakthrough in virtual reality technology, and the state took the lead in promoting the "Second Life" project into the testing phase. They then solicited volunteers from the whole society and included Alpha Company's technical capabilities as part of the national symbol!

In this way, if Alpha Company really wants to conduct a large-scale public beta, it will not cause unnecessary confusion at the level of public opinion.

Of course, both parties must be on the same page. "

"Yeah, that makes sense."

Brother Zhongzhong nodded, thought for a moment, picked up the helmet, and said:

"Master Qin and I will meet first, and you can make a plan and show it to the superiors."
