Chapter 437 Server’s endurance

"Boss, in fact, this "Swordsman Love Online" should be called "Swordsman Love Online: Loyalty to the Country", which is more appropriate," Qiu Xin said.

Lin Feng's brows twitched and he waited patiently for Qiu Xin's next words.

"Boss, the background of "Swordsman Love: Serving the Country with Loyalty" is taken from the late Northern Song Dynasty and the early Southern Song Dynasty. In April of 1127 (the second year of Jingkang), the Jin Dynasty destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty, captured Huizong Zhao Ji, Qinzong Zhao Huan and the royal family returned to the north. Five

In that month, Kang Wang Zhao Gou (i.e. Song Gaozong) succeeded to the throne in Nanjing and activated a large number of main battle generals." When Qiu Xin said this, his voice trembled slightly.

Any Chinese son or daughter will be filled with sadness and melancholy when reading about the history of the Southern and Northern Song Dynasties. It was a relatively gloomy period in the entire history of China. I thought that I was China, a country with heavenly dynasty, but was oppressed by several ethnic minorities.

For the rest of the years, I was beaten and paid tribute every year, and I was deprived of food every year, which is heartbreaking.

Of course, during this gloomy historical period, there were still heroes who made people laugh and cry. For example, the national hero Yue Fei. Any Chinese son or daughter will always feel excited when they read about Yue Fei's anti-gold deeds, especially the sentence "Expulsion of the Tartars,

"Give me back my rivers and mountains" makes me excited every time I read it.

A strong iron frame would rather break than bend; a loyal heart can be seen from the sun and the moon.

It is a pity that Yue Fei, such a heroic national hero, was murdered by Qin Hui on the crime of "there is no such thing" (isn't there such a thing?). Every time I read this, it always makes hundreds of millions of Chinese people sigh and sigh.

I was born at the wrong time and could not kill Qin Hui to avenge General Yue.

As the main planner who designed "Swordsman Love 1" and "Swordsman Love 2", Qiu Xin himself is very familiar with this period of history, and often hopes that one day he can have the beautiful dream of fighting against the Jin Dynasty together with General Yue Fei. Therefore

When designing the background of the game this time, we set "Swordsman Love: Loyalty to the Country" in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, so that all players can participate in the game and defend their country together with the national hero Yue Fei.

"Boss, there are two kinds of missions in "Swordsman Love: Serving the Country with Faith". One is the sect mission, which allows players to earn money for daily gaming, as well as regular routines that allow players to quickly improve their martial arts proficiency.

Tasks. The second type is large-scale tasks, which can promote the progress of the game and allow all players to participate in it." Qiu Xin said this and became excited.

"In the game setting, all players will be able to participate in General Yue Fei's battle to fight against the Jin Dynasty and regain the lost territory, and players will have the ability to change the course of history in the game and determine the fate of Yue Fei, the fate of the Song Dynasty, and the fate of the Jin Dynasty.

Destiny. Therefore, in large-scale battles, players can choose between good and evil. This is what I call the good and evil system." Qiu Xin said, "In "Swordsman Love: Loyalty to Serve the Country", the ten sects are divided into justice,

Two kinds of evil. Players will have the opportunity to choose either of these two camps."

"Players who assist Yue Fei in resisting the Jin Dynasty are righteous players, and players who assist the Jin Dynasty in invading the Song Dynasty are evil players. The two different camps allow players to confront each other and compete against each other. Players from different camps on both sides will gain merit points when they compete against each other.

, after accumulating a certain amount of military merit, you will be able to obtain a military position and lead other players to participate in battles in large-scale missions." Qiu Xin said.

When Lin Feng heard this, he nodded secretly. This is the same as the two major camps in "World of Warcraft", the Alliance and the Horde. It avoids the situation where players in today's online game market randomly PK each other. Qiu Xin just made this unique camp system in advance.

out. But it will undoubtedly make all players more engaged.

"However, Qiu Xin, most players will probably assist Yue Fei instead of assisting the Jin Dynasty. In this way, the number of players may be out of balance in terms of camp selection." Lin Feng said with a frown.

"Haha, boss, we have considered this beforehand. Therefore, when the player logs into the game and chooses the ten sects, they will divide them into two camps. Shaolin, Wudang, Emei, Kunlun, the Beggar Clan is the righteous side, and the Tang Clan and the Heavenly King

Gang, Cui Yan Sect, Tian Nin Sect, and Five Poison Sect are on the evil side. As for the unequal number of players, this is inevitable, but I hope the boss can promote it as an Asian version and connect with Asia. In this way, we have

With the participation of a large number of foreign players, I believe that the difference in the number of players between the two camps will not be too huge, and it will also be more able to attract players' investment." Qiu Xin said with a smile. Obviously, when he set up this game, he planned to launch it in Asia.

interconnected.

Lin Feng nodded. If the Asian version is launched and interconnected with Asia, I am afraid that in addition to mainland China, players from other places will choose the evil camp (his ambition to destroy China has never been shattered). Obviously, Qiu Xin has calculated it long ago.

At this point, perhaps when he originally set it up like this, he wanted to use the game to complete a historical "revenge".

In fact, even if there is no distinction between the justice and evil camps, the fact that players can participate in large-scale battles and change the course of history is enough to make all mainland Chinese players crazy. Think about it, there are so many historical fiction novels in "".net"

, so popular, and with Qiu Xin’s design, this “Swordsman Love Online” must be very popular.

"Haha, Minister Qiu, this setting is good. I believe that all players will definitely invest in this great cause of changing the history of the Song Dynasty and saving Yue Fei." Lin Feng gave a thumbs up.

There was a sound of congratulations in the conference room.

"Uh, I have a question." However, Cohen, the Minister of Technology and Scientific Research, frowned and interrupted everyone's congratulations, asking, "Mr. Qiu, how many servers are you going to open for "Swordsman Love: Loyalty to the Country" you designed? I don't think such a large-scale online game will

, especially allowing players to participate in history and change history. I’m afraid there won’t be that majestic war scene if there are fewer people.”

"Well, that's good. So I only set up one server so that all players can play on one server." Qiu Xin nodded.

Cohen frowned even more.

"Mr. Qiu, our company's server simply can't bear this." Cohen shook his head helplessly. He had just heard Qiu Xin's intention and had to remind him.

"Can't bear it? Cohen, "Counter-Strike Online" and "Audition: All-Star Lineup" can withstand players from all Asia, why can't "Swordsman Love: Loyalty to the Country"? Isn't there your 'cloud computing'?" Qiu Xin

Startled, he asked urgently.

Cohen smiled bitterly.

"Mr. Qiu, and the boss, you place too high a value on 'cloud computing'. The current 'cloud computing' is only in its initial stage. Although the player's computer and network speed can be used to reduce the server load, it is only a reduction.

, it is not a complete replacement. Also, although "Counter-Strike Online" and "Audition: All-Star Lineup" are played by all Asian players on the same server, in fact, they are not the same as "Counter-Strike Online".

The map can only accommodate 32 players, and "Audition: All-Stars" can only accommodate 8 players in a room. In fact, it just allows all players to be under the same server system, but they are not playing together," Cohen explained.

"It's like everyone is on the Internet, but not all are logging into the same website. If everyone on the Internet is logging into the same website at the same time, no matter how advanced the website's server is, it will crash immediately." Cohen explained helplessly.

"Mr. Qiu, your "Swordsman Love: Loyalty to the Country" is obviously like this. You want all players to play on the same server. No matter how powerful my 'cloud computing' is, I can't meet such demanding requirements." Cohen sighed.

"Then...what should I do with this game?" Qiu Xin asked anxiously.

"We can only divide the servers. According to today's server capacity, generally speaking, 3D large-scale role-playing online games can host about 5,000 people online at the same time. However, my 'cloud computing' can help you double this. 10,000 people are already online."

It's the limit. No matter how high it is, the server will definitely crash." Cohen cut off all Qiu Xin's thoughts with one sentence.

"1...10,000 people online!" This number is too far away from Qiu Xin's requirements. Although 10,000 people online has set a record for online games, it is still too far away from Qiu Xin's ideal. He

I originally hoped that there would be at least 100,000 people online on one server at the same time. That kind of battle would be exciting.

"Okay, Minister Qiu, just follow what Cohen said, if you slightly modify "Swordsman Love: Loyalty to the Country", it's just a little effort anyway. What's more, Minister Qiu, even if our server can withstand 100,000 people fighting at the same time, the player

Can your computer withstand it now?" Lin Feng reminded.

When Qiu Xin heard this, he got excited. Indeed, ever since he heard about the concept of "War of the Worlds", his whole body seemed to be filled with excitement. He also hoped that his "Swordsman Love: Loyalty to the Country" could be perfect and become a 3D role-playing game.

It is a high-quality online game, on par with the "World War" shooting online game. But obviously, this goal cannot be achieved now. However, with one server and 10,000 people online at the same time, it is already very satisfactory.

But thinking of this, Qiu Xin had a question.

"Boss, since my "Swordsman Love: Loyalty to the Country" cannot connect to Asia and allow all players to play on the same server, can "World War" achieve global interconnection and allow players around the world to play on the same server?" Qiu Xin asked.

If global interconnection could not be achieved, "War of the Worlds" would not have to be so large in design and cost so much money.

Lin Feng frowned. At first, he had been thinking about whether the player's computer could bear it, but he had forgotten whether his server could bear it. If it were designed by then, the player's computer could bear it, but the server could not bear it.

If people play games at the same time, the meaning advocated by "War of the Worlds" will be lost.

Lin Feng looked at Minwu Li (Director of the Fourth Game Development Department), and Minwu Li was also surprised. He and Lin Feng were thinking about the same thing, they were all considering whether the player's computer could withstand it, and completely ignored the role of the online game operator's server.

endurance.

"Boss, so this is what I want to talk to you about today." Cohen said cautiously, "Our company needs to develop its own computer. No, it is to develop its own supercomputer."
