The 461st Palm Looking forward to - "Swordsman"

"Boss, at 7 p.m., "Swordsman Love: Loyalty to the Country" will be available for public testing." Wu Zhaopu walked in excitedly and said.

After more than a year of development and an investment of hundreds of millions of yuan, the large-scale domestic martial arts online game is finally ready for public testing.

"By the way, how many supercomputers are there in "Swordsman Love: Loyalty to the Country"?" Lin Feng asked.

"Three, Bruce has assembled three, and Cohen has transplanted 'cloud computing' into them. Now after these three supercomputers are connected in parallel through 'cloud computing', their computing speed has reached 40 trillion times per second. As for whether it can

The perfect operation of "Swordsman Love: Serving the Country with Devotion" depends on the actual situation." Wu Zhaopu said with a hint of excitement and a hint of apprehension.

When Qiu Xin designed "Swordsman Love: Loyalty to the Country", he was stimulated by "World War" developed by Min Wu-Li. Qiu Xin also came up with the concept of a game where all players play on the same server. This concept is naturally beyond the scope of today's online game companies.

Fortunately, the "Second World" hired Bruce Allen, a super DIY computer hardware player, to build a supercomputer tailored for the "Second World".

However, in order for "Swordsman Love: Loyalty to the Country" to run smoothly, Wu Zhaopu conservatively set the official public beta test at 7 o'clock tonight. There is only one zone, and it is only open to domestic players for the time being, and the maximum limit at 7 o'clock is only 100,000 people.

Log in. If there is no problem with the operation, it will be opened for the second time at 8 o'clock, and 100,000 online people will be opened again. If there is no problem, it will be opened at 9 o'clock and continue to be tested.

Can three supercomputers withstand millions of people online at the same time? Although in theory, a group of servers can withstand 5,000 players online, the performance of a supercomputer is at least 200 times better than that of an ordinary server. In theory, three supercomputers

It can withstand up to 3 million people online at the same time. But the question now is not only whether the "second world" supercomputers can bear it, but also whether the player computers can bear it.

The supercomputers of the "Second World" must share part of the calculations of the player's computer, which poses a severe test to the three supercomputers. As time passes, the Second Game Development Department, under the leadership of Qiu Xin,

, conducting the final pre-public beta inspection, Bruce and Cohen are also closely waiting in the supercomputer room for the arrival of massive data.

perturbed!

For all domestic players, they have been looking forward to the open beta of "Swordsman Love: Loyalty to the Country". This is the first domestic large-scale martial arts online game, and its game background is one of the saddest eras in Chinese history. In the early Southern Song Dynasty,

The era when national hero Yue Fei served his country loyally.

Mentioning Yue Fei, all the players sighed. Such a heroic figure was finally killed by the traitor Qin Hui and died on an "unfounded" charge. A general cannot die on the battlefield. For a general, there is no doubt that

It is the greatest sadness. Now all players will be able to participate in this historical event, which makes all players excited and looking forward to it.

"Second World" officially announced that players will be able to change the historical background development of "Swordsman Love: Loyalty to the Country" and have a completely open degree of freedom, which is not available in any previous game.

In "Swordsman Love: Loyalty to the Country", players can do whatever they want. For example, players can choose to assassinate Qin Hui to avoid the biggest tragedy in Chinese history; or choose to assassinate General Yue Fei's main opponent, the Kingdom of Jin

The Jin Wushu directly solved the crisis of the Southern Song Dynasty; he could even choose to assassinate the Emperor Jin Xizong Wanyan Dan, allowing the Southern Song Dynasty to reorganize the country and unify China.

In short, the player's degree of freedom is completely open. In "Swordsman Love: Loyalty to the Country", players are not subject to any restrictions. The only limitation is the player's own strength.

From the beginning of the design, Qiu Xin set "Swordsman Love: Loyalty to the Country" as a completely open plot with multiple endings. Whenever the player triggers a plot and changes a historical script, Qiu Xin will launch successive large-scale plots accordingly.

copies until the end of this historical era.

Qiu Xin has designed a total of three large-scale expansion packs for "Jiang Xia Love Online", and "Jian Xia Love: Loyalty to the Country" is only the first one. Therefore, Qiu Xin is not afraid of the terrifying ability of Chinese players to explore the game plot and end "Jian Xia Love Online" early.

online》lifespan.

Of course, if you want to change all this, you must have the player's ability to change the plot! For example, wanting to assassinate Qin Hui is the simplest "variant" plot, but this simplest "variant" plot also requires players to at least achieve "

First-class master" level (the maximum level is 70, and the "first-class master" level is level 60), and at least hundreds of players of the same level must enter Qin Hui's mansion at the same time before the assassination can be successful.

As for the subsequent rescue of Yue Fei and the assassination of the financial lord Wanyan Dan, it is even more difficult. Without tens of thousands of players acting at the same time and cooperating skillfully, their lives will be in vain. Although there is no experience to be dropped in "Swordsman Love: Loyalty to the Country", it will be dropped.

Certain martial arts proficiency, and proficiency must be practiced again.

In particular, Qiu Xin also designed a brand-new "rebellion" system. If the player wants to change the historical background and take the risk to assassinate the court officials of the Jin Kingdom or the Southern Song Dynasty, if the identity is exposed during the assassination (the player can purchase a "disguise" mask before the assassination,

(but there is a certain chance of falling off during the battle), the court to which the assassination target belongs will fully want the player, and soldiers from all towns in the country will hunt down the player. The player can only return to the sect to temporarily stay safe. Of course, if the assassination of the emperor level

NPC, players will no longer be able to survive except fleeing to the enemy country.

This "rebellion" punishment is not canceled when the player dies, but has a mandatory time limit. Therefore, it is not easy for players to change the plot.

Although it is extremely difficult to change the plot, and the price paid is extremely painful, for all passionate players, it is still very fascinating, and they are eager to wait for the launch of "Swordsman Love: Loyalty to the Country" to go and fight with the national general Yue Fei.

Yi Tong went through those iron-blooded and helpless years.

Of course, the gimmick of millions of players playing on the same server is also an important reason why all players are excited and dancing.

According to incomplete statistics, on May 23, 2002, there were more than 2 million players waiting for the server of "Swordsman Love: Loyalty to the Country" to be launched. However, when the server officially launched at 19:00 in the evening, there were only 100,000 places. The competition was fierce.

. Therefore, starting at 18:00 in the evening, a large number of players clicked on the client and downloaded it, waiting for the launch of the server of "Swordsman Love: Loyalty to the Country". They were ready to click into the game as soon as possible to experience this "legendary" game.

"An online game that could only exist in China.

As opponents of the "Second World", 12 domestic online game companies are also paying close attention to the launch of "Swordsman Love: Loyalty to the Country". Although they had previously established a domestic online game alliance in the "First Internet Addiction War" -

—The new era, but competition is everywhere. Especially many people in the "New Era" alliance wish that there would be fewer companies in the 13 alliance, so that each company can get more points when dividing money (Minor Zhou

Charges for phone notification when game time is up).

Among them, the most nervous ones are undoubtedly the domestic companies operating 3D online games. Currently, the only popular domestic 3D online games are "Miracle" by Ninetowns, "Swordsman Online" just represented by "Perfect World", and Shanghai Ubisoft Computer

The software company is preparing to introduce the European and American masterpiece "EverQuest".

The three companies are all members of the "New Era" and are also the pioneers of domestic 3D online games. Naturally, they are paying close attention to the "Second World"'s strong launch of "Swordsman Love: Loyalty to the Country" and have mixed feelings in their hearts.

"Second World" games now span multiple genres and have made everyone jealous, but they have also extended their tentacles to the field of 3D online games, leaving many companies in tears. Does "Second World" want to

Are they to be driven out and killed? But these company bosses are helpless. Who allowed the "Second World" to control so many resources?

"valve" game development team, "3do" development team, "cloud computing", "supercomputer"... any of them are enough to make other companies covet them, but they are all in the hands of a company in the "second world".

Jealousy, the naked jealousy of the CEOs of 12 game companies. Even Tencent, the dominant player in the communication market with QQ, the instant messaging software, is extremely jealous of the "second world".

"Ninetowns" president Chen Xiaowei also waited in front of the computer early, waiting for the launch of the server of "Swordsman Love: Loyalty to the Country" through the traffic detection software developed by industry insiders.

Chen Xiaowei does not believe that "Swordsman Love: Loyalty to the Country" will be able to allow all players to run on the same server as the official promotion of "Second World". Although "Second World" has supercomputers that make all online game companies in the industry jealous,

But this does not mean that "Swordsman Love: Loyalty to the Country" can host millions of players online at the same time. In particular, an Asian version will be launched, allowing Asian players to enjoy the fun of large-scale role-playing games in a single server.

The player's computer will never be able to withstand millions of people online at the same time! - Chen Xiaowei said firmly. Especially if one million people are online at the same time, the area of ​​the game map involved is probably a hundred times larger than the "Miracle" map owned by the "Ninetowns" company

Not only that, she didn’t believe that the “Second World” would develop such a large map. Moreover, how to upgrade, how to defeat monsters, no matter how powerful the NPCs are, if there are too many ants, an elephant can be killed, especially when the “Second World” officially announced that players

Being able to change the background of the game is even more of a joke.

Think about it, if millions of players rush into the Golden Palace, what can the NPC do to resist it? Especially the data of millions of players, even a supercomputer may not be able to process it.

Chen Xiaowei took a sip of tea and waited to see the bullshit advocated by the "Second World" fall apart.
Chapter completed!
