Chapter 109 The classic internal test without deleting files
The rain outside the window is getting heavier.
The weather forecast says it will be rainy for the next half month.
In the pattering spring rain, several people in the office began to lose their thoughts.
Even though it was already spring, Sun Baoyin still had a thermos cup in his hand. Fortunately, he usually did not drink water in public except Wen Liang and others.
Sun Baoyin rubbed the thermos cup and said, "It's better to pick one randomly. After all, after thinking about it, I want to take advantage of the spread of the Three Kingdoms IP."
"Hey, yes, yes, Mr. Yin is right." Li Ze's eyes lit up and he quickly agreed.
When Chen Jiaxin heard this, she was afraid of being left behind, so she quickly blamed it: "Mr. Yin has an idea. I think Mr. Yin can just decide on a name internally."
Tang Pu opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't catch up with the words.
Rikka next to her heard this and her brows jumped sharply.
She... doesn't matter if she follows, or doesn't follow.
As the general assistant, she still knows who the real senior people in the company are.
Compared with Li Xia's dilemma, Sun Baoyin was dumbfounded. He directly put the thermos cup on the table next to him and stared at him, wanting to quarrel.
He had good intentions and lowered the difficulty, but one of them was able to take the blame better than the other?
Having a clear view of everyone's expressions, Wen Liang did not let the 'conflict' break out and said directly: "Just give it a name like Three Kingdoms, Three Kingdoms or something that sounds a bit domineering."
"It's better not to get the wrong focus."
Then, Wen Liang specially glanced at Li Ze before continuing: "The first mobile game will be launched soon, so everyone's preparations are in place."
"Understood, our administration will cooperate with operation and maintenance to make necessary preparations within the company before going online." Chen Jiaxin answered the words seriously.
"..."
Several other people each have their own arrangements and tasks.
Rikka is no exception. She is the general assistant and needs to handle many things.
In her eyes, Wen Liang is also very discerning, and she doesn't dare to be careless.
Finally, Wen Liang emphasized: "The core of the game's backend service is in the company's internal computer room, and the classic internal test does not require external cloud service resources, so please be careful;
This will test our internal coordination capabilities. It is no problem to use external cloud service resources. Internal servers use mature solutions to deploy cloud services, but they cause a lot of problems."
Sun Baoyin, Li Ze and Tang Pu nodded solemnly.
Then several people left the office together and went about their business...
Unlike many Internet companies that rely entirely on external highly reliable services such as AWS, Alibaba Cloud, and Echang Cloud, Bolang deployed its own small private cloud with a general solution in a self-built computer room after it had sufficient funds.
Although server resources are deployed into the cloud through virtualization technology, hardware losses will inevitably occur.
(That is: the original server can provide 10 performances, but after virtualization it can only provide 8 or 9 performances.)
But the cloud has the advantage of being able to expand and contract anytime and anywhere, and may even actually run two different background projects on the same physical server.
As Bolang gradually takes a diversified development path, deploying internal computer rooms into the cloud is an inevitable choice.
Now there are enough sub-projects in the R&D department, which can properly allocate resources.
After all, the program internal testing of any business project also requires a server environment. Personal computers are only used to write code, and the actual main body is run on a remote server.
In addition, the reason why Bolang is gradually expanding the scale of self-built computer rooms is to ensure information security, core controllability, prepare e-commerce platforms, etc.
Now there is only one Xiaocheng Book, which has just exceeded 50 million total users. Renting a cloud server is not a big problem. As the business spreads, building a self-built computer room can actually save costs.
Now the number of servers in Bolang's self-built computer room has increased to 100, but they are all low-specification ordinary servers.
Various departments are coordinating plans to rent a certain physical space from a telecommunications operator's computer room to build their own telecommunications-grade high-specification computer room.
Because the investment is relatively large, it is just planning for the time being.
The budget is 1.5 million yuan for one standard cabinet, and the plan is to have 40 cabinets, which costs 60 million yuan.
Wen Liang still wants to implement this plan in the first half of the year, so Wang Wanyu is a little worried because she has to go to the bank for a loan.
Anyway, it’s not easy to be the CEO of a company like Bolang.
However, it is not easy to return to work, but Director Wen still enjoys it. He likes such a fulfilling, interesting and challenging life.
…………
Early morning on the 6th.
Sun Baoyin submitted the official release name of the mobile game.
"Three Kingdoms"
Relatively simple.
In fact, the names of games that rely on the IP of Three Kingdoms are often so simple.
The most famous one now is called Three Kingdoms Killing.
Seeing Wen Liang's approval, Sun Baoyin was relieved. After all, he was a pure science and engineering man without much literary talent.
Later, Sun Baoyin said in a leisurely tone: "I just met Aze and the others, but they haven't come over yet. I have sent you an email on all the key matters, and the preparations are all in place."
"The R&D side is also ready. The second team of the Three Kingdoms mobile game project has started to develop the unified version numbered 2.0. The other team is temporarily free to ensure the progress of this classic closed beta without deleting files."
"In terms of operations, Aze briefly mentioned that the platform traffic of Xiaocheng Book will be used to create initial popularity and wait for fermentation without leaving too deep traces of the operation."
"Operation and maintenance are also ready."
"..."
Sun Baoyin finished talking about the main things in one breath.
Wen Liang nodded gently: "According to the original plan, it will be officially launched on the Android side at ten o'clock. In name, it is a classic internal test without deleting files. You also understand the actual meaning."
"Yeah." Sun Baoyin nodded, "Don't worry, it took so long this time, and all of us are holding our breath. We can usually cope with ordinary accidents."
Seeing that a steady person like Sun Baoyin dared to make a promise directly, Wen Liang was relieved: "Okay, I won't go over and stare at you. I just go to school to take a class and relax."
"..."
To be honest, Wen Liang had no intention of paying too much attention to it.
As for the name of the game "Martial God Three Kingdoms", in future generations, it will be a piece of irony.
In addition, this game has no serious game plan, numerical planning, or plot planning. It is just a card-killing game with only superficial appearance. It is just for the money.
This "Martial God Three Kingdoms" is just to test the waters for transformation, to take advantage of the big IP of Three Kingdoms, and see if it can make a profit in the mobile game market.
Therefore, even though Wen Liang had tried it himself and felt that it was well made and exquisite, he still couldn't get much interest in it.
…………
At ten o'clock in the morning, Wen Liang had already walked into Building 18 of Huagong.
I slowly rushed to the second class today, which is a required course for majors [Functions of Complex Variables].
In the second semester of my sophomore year, the curriculum almost completely changed.
For example, Big Things Experiment 1 → Big Things Experiment 2.
The big things are finished.
The mathematical analysis is finished.
With Mao Gui.
The number of courses has decreased compared to the previous semester.
Interestingly, Professor Chang, who originally taught probability theory, is teaching functions of complex variables this semester.
Probability theory and functions of complex variables really have nothing to do with each other. It can be seen that Professor Chang has a great span.
After the class, Wen Liang listened but didn't listen.
Anyway, this is the thing, who knows it will be so simple for Wen Liang!
Maybe this is a science guy at heart?
However, after class, Professor Chang called out to Wen Liang again, with a kind face, and said cheerfully: "It's rare that I happen to meet you in class this semester."
He added: "The company is doing well."
"Fortunately." Wen Liang explained, "I was a little busy in the morning some time ago."
Professor Chang waved his hand: "I told you before, I never worry about your learning. Science and engineering are about thinking and methods, not memorizing formulas. Once you understand this level, it will be easy to learn."
Then looking at Wen Liang, Professor Chang said: "As for donating to the school, as I will probably be your professor of a certain course during your college years, I will say a few words. It is a good solution, but I can be more practical.
Just be more practical."
Hearing this, Wen Liang thanked him seriously: "Thank you, Professor, for your teaching."
Finally, Professor Chang said: "I heard by chance that your company is developing games. I remember that Xiao Zhao is very interested in algorithms, so I asked him to come to me. I know a little bit about game numerical planning."
After speaking, without waiting for Wen Liang to answer, Professor Chang waved his hand and left.
Wen Liang was a little dumbfounded: "..."
He didn't expect that Professor Chang would take the initiative to say this.
Are game values important in general mobile games? Not important!
But if the game numerical value planning is done well, you can directly defeat the whole game with C!
Speaking of which, in 2012, Wen Liang met Professor Chang for the first time.
The main meaning expressed by Professor Chang is very simple.
When it comes to deeds, there is no heart, and when it comes to heart, there is no saint.
It's best if you can have a clear conscience, but it doesn't matter if you can't.
Regardless of past life or present life, Wen Liang had a very good impression of Professor Chang. The old man quite admired Wen Liang's learning ability. It was hard to say in this life. In his previous life, he had asked many times whether to recommend his graduate students.
It was a rare visit to the school in the morning. After class, I received unexpected help from Professor Chang. Wen Liang did not leave in a hurry and went to the school cafeteria for lunch.
I met some classmates who were in class together just now and listened to some of their complaints.
As we drove away from school, Wen Liang felt much happier.
From taking Li Rang for a walk on the weekend, to hearing a few words from Professor Chang in class today, to the complaints from classmates, maybe this is the... romance in the daily life of college students entrepreneurship.
Wen Liang's fatigue, which has been worrying about the company's aggressive expansion and the launch of its mobile game business for the past few days, has been completely eliminated.
…………
Walking into 901 Silver Gray Building, the office is relatively quiet.
During the lunch break, many people like to take a nap.
Wen Liang wandered around and finally went to the office area on the 8th floor.
Before a business goes online, the R&D department is mainly responsible. After it goes online, the most important department is naturally the operations department.
Seeing Wen Liang, Li Ze was surprised for a few seconds.
Looking Wen Liang up and down, Li Ze joked: "Isn't he not very interested?"
"After all, this is the first step in the mobile game business, so we have to understand the specific situation." Wen Liang laughed at himself.
Li Ze also mentioned something. Hearing what Wen Liang said, he agreed very much: "It has been more than two hours since I went online, and I have barely left the multimedia room."
"The situation is not bad. There are almost no similar games on the market. The traffic guidance effect of Xiao Cheng Shu is also very good. The number of downloads has been rising steadily. It is estimated that 5,000 people will download and try it today, excluding special internal beta users.
"
"Now the number of downloads across the entire network has exceeded 10,000."
“There is a little buzz in certain online forums.”
Looking at the various charts on the display wall and listening to Li Ze's briefing, Wen Liang nodded: "Not bad, the iOS version can be launched in advance."
"Okay." Li Ze responded.
With the release of the iOS version of "Martial Gods Three Kingdoms", the operational resources that had been planned for a long time suddenly increased their release -
