Chapter 1,652 Xiaobing Legend Computer

After hearing what Lin Feng said, Cohen was stunned and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

One-fifth of the world's people play "War of the Worlds". Well, if there are currently 6 billion people in the world, wouldn't it mean that one-fifth of the world's population plays "War of the Worlds"? There are 1.2 billion people playing "War of the Worlds"? Thinking of this number, Cohen felt dizzy. But in his heart,

I also know that Lin Feng was not talking nonsense and did not make up this number out of thin air.

In the first closed beta of "War of the Worlds", 130 million players around the world participated. The number of players in this second closed beta has almost doubled based on the first closed beta, and the number of closed beta testers has exceeded 200 million.

200 million players participated in the second closed beta of "World War". This is a number that can make any game company crazy. Any online game, even a stand-alone game, will definitely become a hit as long as it has the support of 200 million players.

.But this number is the number of people online in the second closed beta of "War of the Worlds", which is even more terrifying. Calculated based on the ratio of the number of people online in online games to the number of people playing the game, "War of the Worlds" has a game player base that accounts for one-fifth of the world's population.

, it is not an excessive requirement, it is very reasonable and achievable.

One-fifth of the population plays "War of the Worlds", which is definitely a good thing for the company, but it is not so good news for their hardware supply departments. At present, "War of the Worlds" can only guarantee 75%

There is no guarantee that people will not be stuck on the battlefield with 1,000 people. As for more, there is no guarantee for the time being. Once one-fifth of the world's population really enters the game, then there may be tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of people fighting on any battlefield.

Great war.

Can the hardware support it? Can the player's computer performance support it? Can the company's supercomputer support it? These are all very thorny and realistic issues.

"Boss, I'm afraid this will be a bit difficult in the short term. Judging from the current update speed of computer performance, by the "World War" public beta day, I am afraid that at most 75% of players' computers can meet the battlefield of 2,000-3,000 people. No matter how many more

I'm afraid it will be very difficult." Cohen didn't dare to make excuses.

Lin Feng shook his head.

"Too few, too few!" Lin Feng sighed, "I require that at least 70% of the world's computers can withstand a battlefield of 100,000 people on the public beta day of "World War". A year later, they can withstand a battlefield of 100,000 people.

, it can withstand a battlefield of one million people within three years, and it can withstand a battlefield of tens of millions of people within five years."

Hiss!——Everyone here took a breath.

There is a classic saying in philosophy - quantitative change leads to qualitative change.

In the online game world, this philosophy also applies. When the number of players online at the same time reaches a certain number, the demand for computer hardware increases exponentially. In a battlefield with ten thousand people, only the player's computer needs to reach a Pentium 4 computer, but for one hundred thousand

One person may need Pentium 5, one million people may need Pentium 6, and tens of millions of people may need Pentium 7. Every increase in the number of people on this battlefield is a leap forward for computer hardware. Lin Feng wants to open the beta test

If you want to purchase a battlefield with tens of thousands of people, you must require players to have a Pentium 4 computer. This is the current luxury configuration. Will most players be able to own such a computer in two months?

Cohen has absolute doubts about it. After all, most players are not very wealthy. Most players do not have the extra money to change computer configurations for a game. You know, now equipped with a Pentium 4 computer,

It's not cheap. Moreover, "Pentium 4" is a product of "Second World" competitor "Intel". Isn't it annoying to let players match each other's products? Although I have to admit that at present, "Intel" CPUs

It is indeed better than the "amd" of the "second world"...

"Why, you think it can't be done?" Lin Feng glanced at Lu Zhiyi, president of the "amd" department. The latter thought for a while and slowly shook his head. It was not that Lu Zhiyi was self-deprecating "amd", but that it was true that "amd" chips were still available for the time being.

No. Although Lin Feng has increased the company's investment in the two hardware departments of "amd" and "ati", it is impossible to make any qualitative leap in the short term. Innovation in science and technology requires the accumulation of time, unless there is genius

The birth of characters, or the acquisition of more advanced technology. But currently, the "Second World" hardware department does not have these two points. Therefore, for the time being, we can only expect breakthroughs through the accumulation of time.

"Everyone, as far as I know, the current computer hardware performance has far exceeded the hardware performance of Sony's 'ps2', but in terms of game performance, most games are not as good as 'ps2'

's game effects are good. Even if there are a few games that can compare with the game performance of 'ps2', you must know that 'ps2' was a game console launched in 2000, and it is now 2004. Today, four years later

"It's not as good as a home game console from four years ago. I think this is a bit too incredible!" Lin Feng knocked on the table and said.

Everyone, you look at me and I look at you, they look weird.

"Dr. Lin, this is not converted like this. 'PS2' is just a specialized game console, and computers are not just developed for games. There is an essential difference between the two." Lu Zhiyi explained.

"But in my opinion, there is no difference between the two." Lin Feng interrupted Lu Zhiyi's explanation, "For players, the only thing they see is that current computer games are not as good as 'PS2'

.But the price is much more expensive than 'ps2'."

Lu Zhiyi looked depressed and really didn't know how to explain this.

"Director Lin, what do you mean?" - He Guoyuan, the president of the "ati" department, seemed to have some realization.

"It's very simple. I have said before that we will develop gaming and entertainment computers specially designed for gamers, paired with specialized gaming and entertainment systems. Has there been no progress in the past six months or so?" Lin Feng said with a frown.

Lin Feng proposed this "game entertainment computer" and "game entertainment system" more than half a year ago, and ordered Lu Zhiyi, He Guoyuan, Cohen and others to start research and development. Now it seems that these people do not attach too much importance to it. Thinking of this

, Lin Feng snorted heavily.

Everyone was a little shocked when they saw Lin Feng's dissatisfaction. This matter, how should I put it, was indeed a bit negligent on their part, or a bit contemptuous. Of course, it does not mean that they have not conducted research and development in this area, but they have not carried out research and development in this area.

Investing too much energy. In their minds, this "game entertainment computer" and "game entertainment system" are really a bit eccentric. Although at present, most personal computers are used for games and entertainment, but they are specially developed for them.

It would be a bit too weird to produce a computer like this. And will consumers pay for it?

You must know that once its performance is biased in one aspect, the corresponding functions in other aspects will become worse. This is for sure. Just like the "ps2" hardware is very good for playing games, but it is not used for some

Professional image processing or professional data processing will not work. And asking consumers to spend thousands of dollars to buy a computer that can only be used for playing games, watching movies and entertainment is a bit mysterious no matter how you look at it.

"Indeed, it is a bit mysterious for consumers to spend so much money to buy such a 'professional' computer. But don't underestimate the appeal of games to players. For now, the mainstream desire to buy computers is still games and entertainment.

As for study and work, they are all supplements. What's more, can't a 'game and entertainment computer' be used for word processing and office study?" Lin Feng asked.

Lu Zhiyi, He Guoyuan and others looked at each other and shook their heads. This is naturally impossible. No matter how "professional" a computer is for simple office software applications and word processing, there will still be no problem. It's just that the performance will be lower in some professional fields.

It's just a lot weaker.

"Okay!" Lin Feng snapped his fingers, "In that case, we will immediately develop a 'game entertainment computer' and launch a 'game entertainment system'. I want to launch it before Christmas. By the way, the end of this year is also the peak time for buying computers.

Period, Chen Xiaowei, you should pay more attention to this aspect, promote it more loudly, let consumers who want to buy a computer recently wait a little longer, and finally let them all choose to buy the 'game and entertainment computer' we launch."

Chen Xiaowei nodded.

"Okay, let's adjourn the meeting!" Lin Feng clapped his hands. It's already 3 o'clock in the night, everyone is already tired, and they still have work tomorrow. If we don't adjourn the meeting, it will affect work tomorrow.

"Boss, what about the second closed beta of "World War"?" Minwu-Li asked.

Now the second closed beta test of "World War" has limited the number of people in each battlefield to 1,000. Players are having a great time killing and enjoying the fun of the game. However, according to the original plan, the second closed beta test of "World War" has

It ended at 3 o'clock in the morning. But obviously, if it ends now, the players will riot again.

After all, anyone who is having a great time and the game suddenly ends will be scolded.

"Well..." Lin Feng tapped his fingers and his eyes lit up.

"Publish a message to inform all players that the second closed beta test of "World War" will end at 7 o'clock in the morning. And after the end, rewards will be awarded to players ranked before 1,000 in the world based on their rankings." Lin Feng

Laugh.

"What reward?" Everyone was stunned.

"The 'Little Soldier Legend' computer was specially developed for World War." Lin Feng blinked.

"Little Soldier Legend" computer?——Everyone was stunned for a long time.

"It's a 'Game and Entertainment Computer'!" Lin Feng sighed helplessly. These people are all famous figures in the industry, but they are still so clueless. "Game and Entertainment Computer" is specially designed for "War of the Worlds"

” was developed, and as every player will experience the process from a soldier to a marshal in "World War", the name "Legend of the Soldier" is very appropriate.

What's more, one of the most popular books in the online literary world right now is "The Legend of Xiaobing", and Lin Feng just took the opportunity to promote "The Legend of Xiaobing". He can achieve multiple goals with one stone!

"Also, after the closed beta, we will make statistics immediately, and officially publish the players' data in the game, and rank them globally. Remember, I want a very detailed ranking of the players' performance in the game.

Data such as how many enemies were killed, how many times were killed, etc. must be kept. Remember, although the data from the closed beta will not be brought into the public beta, all data cannot be lost. This will become an honor roll for all players." Lin Feng.

commanded.

Minwu-Li's eyes darkened. Now, a sudden thought occurred in Lin Feng's mind. Their entire department had to sleep tonight. If these data were calculated, how many days would it take to use manpower? 200 million players

If the data is collected item by item, their team of more than 300 people will not be able to calculate it until the next century, so they must develop a set of statistical software. This software is not difficult and does not take much time. But before

However, there is no data statistics. If you want to count the data of previous players, you must call up the historical database.

A historical database of 200 million people! - Minwu-Li Jijue The world is spinning. This requires the development of a set of software to automatically search, automatically call up historical data, and analyze the credibility of the data, and then conduct

Screening and error correction. Thinking of this, Minwu-Li felt a headache. It is not too difficult to develop this software, but if you want to develop it within four hours, it is a bit life-threatening!

"Boss, I'm going to leave first, otherwise it will be difficult to wait." Minwu-Li immediately stood up, turned around and ran to his game department. Every minute of delay will increase the difficulty of waiting.

He didn't dare to delay any longer. Before leaving, he gave Lin Feng a resentful look.

Boss, if you want these data, you should have told me earlier. It would have been easier if you had said it earlier! Just add a piece of code directly into the game, and everything would be solved! - Minwu-Li Leiben.

Looking at Minwu Li's hurriedly leaving figure, everyone mourned in silence. This guy can't sleep tonight. Then he looked at Lin Feng, feeling a little envious - one sentence above, and his leg broken after running down - still

That's right.

Lin Feng shrugged helplessly. Didn't this happen to him on a whim? Didn't he just think of it? He couldn't blame himself!

"By the way, there's more..." Lin Feng frowned. What he wanted to say just now, he suddenly forgot.

Everyone suddenly trembled. Min Wu and Li couldn't sleep the whole night because Lin Feng wanted to torment him. Now that Lin Feng came again, they were frightened. Immediately, everyone ran away. Of course, everyone dared to run away because they knew there was nothing wrong now.

What happened, or what happened is Minwu-Li's business, and has nothing to do with them. But even though it has nothing to do with it, it doesn't stop Lin Feng from grabbing the strong man. It's already three o'clock in the morning, so he should run away for tomorrow's work! As for what if Lin Feng

If something happens, it depends on which young man Lin Feng will catch when he arrives.

"Uh..." When Lin Feng thought of what to say, he turned around and saw that his eyes were empty.

"Actually, I want to ask everyone to go for a midnight snack together..." Lin Feng said helplessly.

At this time, all the players who were fighting "World War" received a message - the top 1,000 players in the world will receive a set of "Little Soldier Legend" computers.
Chapter completed!
