At 11:30 pm on December 31, 2023, when people all over the world are celebrating the arrival of the new year, the office areas of China’s domestic Internet companies and game companies are also brightly lit, and everyone has not gotten off work yet.
Waiting for the opening of the virtual world.
"Galaxy Technology Group has supplied the first batch of 1 million virtual machines to customers around the world. We have 700,000 virtual machines in China. What we have to do is to get 1 million people around the world to download the chat world of our virtual world.
.”
Penguin Empire, in a huge conference room, a countdown is playing on a huge monitor.
Brother Xiao Ma was a little nervous, as if he had gone back to the moment when he personally pretended to be a female compatriot to chat with others when he was promoting QQ at the beginning of his business.
The virtual world is an upgrade of the Internet industry, a brand new upgrade that will tear down and rebuild everything. Whether it can continue to occupy the market in the field of instant messaging will almost determine the fate of the Penguin Empire.
The most direct reflection of this is the number and proportion of downloads in the chat world developed by Penguin Empire in the virtual world.
The greater the number of downloads and the higher the proportion, the more stable the position will be, and vice versa, the more dangerous it will be.
He is still confident about this. First of all, Penguin Empire has a very large team and extremely strong technical force. This time, it uses Chinese programming and Chinese operating system, so foreign opponents suffer a lot in this regard.
Brother Xiao Ma knows very well that Facebook and Twitter have not opened up chat software in the virtual world until now, because their programmers are still learning Chinese, and they are not good at learning Chinese. This is Chinese programming.
Nonsense.
As for the domestic aspect, there are a few opponents that can make Xiao Maer wary. Several big players have also targeted this area and developed their own instant messaging and chat software.
However, he believes that the chat world developed by his company is better. The key is that the Penguin Empire is powerful. Advertisements have been bombarded around the world for a long time, and a certain subconscious mind has been formed.
We have the right time, place, and people, so Xiao Ma is also very ambitious and determined to be a penguin in the world, not just a penguin in China.
Of course, he is still very nervous now, and all the senior management of the Penguin Empire are not off work. They are all gathered in this conference room at this time, just waiting for the arrival of 2024 and the opening of the virtual world.
…
Not only is Penguin Empire not off work, but Internet companies and game companies across the country are also not off work, and they are all quietly waiting for the arrival of a new era.
Of course, those who are waiting anxiously are the first batch of users around the world to get virtual machines. Compared with these companies, the first batch of users to get virtual machines seem to be even more anxious.
"There is still half an hour, ah~ah~ I have waited for a long time and finally waited until today. I have dreamed for a long time and finally realized my dream~"
"Envy, jealousy and hatred~"
“I envy the wealthy people who have virtual machines~”
"Dear, remember to make a video. By the way, there are also game guides. You will be the big brother from now on. If I am bullied, you must remember to protect my little brother."
"There are hundreds of people in our group, but it seems that less than 10 people have grabbed the virtual machine~"
"Want to buy a virtual machine~The price is negotiable, you can buy it as you like~"
"There is no hope of buying it. Maybe you can rent it to the wealthy man upstairs. While others are resting, you can rent it and experience it."
Xiong Tao looked at the time and saw the bustle in the group.
Because of the launch of the virtual world, the entire group was extremely lively. Although very few people got virtual machines, this did not affect everyone's attention to the virtual world.
Xiong Tao skillfully opened the live broadcast room. In the past few days since he got the virtual machine, he has attracted a large number of fans through the hot topic of virtual machines.
Every live broadcast is watched by millions of people. Everyone wants to see how magical and powerful the virtual machine is, so they are excited about the virtual world.
Xiong Tao will naturally not miss the opportunity to live broadcast. This is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
In the past few days, Xiong Tao has been advertising this live broadcast, so there is still half an hour before the virtual world opens, but the number of people in Xiong Tao's live broadcast room has reached an unprecedented number of tens of millions.
As for his live broadcast platform, it was alarmed, and forces were urgently dispatched to help maintain it to prevent it from being too stuck and affecting the live broadcast effect.
At the same time, some companies that are interested in entering the virtual world have contacted Xiong Tao, hoping that Xiong Tao can help with a wave of advertising, and the price is also quite attractive.
As time goes by, more and more people watch the live broadcast. As the number of people increases, more and more people buy gifts of various kinds.
The little boy who sells girls will give you 10 rockets~
The little boy who sells girls will give you 10 rockets~
The local tycoon appears again, and when he makes a move, dozens of rockets are launched into the sky. He is a master who does not regard money as money.
The little boy who sold the girl: Brother Tao, send the rocket first. From now on, I will ask you to help protect me in the martial arts games. I will be your little follower.
"I'm going~ Here comes the rich man. This rich man has been buying hundreds of rockets every day these days. Today he came to ask for a shield, not a virtual machine anymore."
“What a rich man~”
"If you don't have a virtual machine, you can't be called a real tycoon. The real tycoons have probably gone to Galaxy Technology Group. I heard that a group of second-generation people drove a huge private anti-gravity aircraft and surrounded Galaxy Technology Group, threatening not to give virtual machines to them.
The aircraft demolished the spaceship building of Galaxy Technology Group."
"Did they get the virtual machine?"
"How is it possible? Galaxy Technology Group directly notified the parents of these second generation, and they were taken back like little chickens one by one."
With the appearance of rich people, the entire live broadcast room became more lively. Topics about rich people always attracted attention, but soon, as time went by, and it was almost 12 o'clock, the topics in the live broadcast room also became
It has moved to the virtual world and virtual games.
"Hello everyone, it's almost 12 o'clock, and the virtual world is about to open. I can't wait."
Xiong Tao put on his virtual helmet and said while broadcasting.
In order to promote the virtual world, Galaxy Technology Group has also opened a transfer platform between the virtual world and the Internet. A virtual machine can connect to the virtual world or an ordinary network. But without a virtual machine, it can only connect to an ordinary network.
.
As soon as 12 o'clock comes.
Xiong Tao started the virtual machine, and then even though he was watching the live broadcast on the computer, in Xiong Tao's brain, he directly came to a brand new world.
Xiong Tao looked at this strange world carefully with curious eyes. It was a room-like place, empty and empty.
"This seems to be set up by Galaxy Technology Group. The login room is just like the login interface of Windows."
Soon, Xiong Tao realized it and realized it through understanding.
So he can enjoy the virtual world and live broadcast at the same time.
In the virtual world, Xiong Tao came to the window of the room with a thought, opened the window gently, and immediately saw the blue sky, white clouds, green mountains and green water outside. The picture quality was very high, just like what he saw in reality.
One can't help but wonder whether this is in real society or a virtual world.
"Gee, the quality of this picture is really terrifying. It's even clearer than what we can see with our own eyes~"
"The virtual world, it turns out to be like this~"
"This should be the login room, which is equivalent to the login interface of Windows. In the future, everyone who enters the virtual world will first enter such a room."
"This room is a bit monotonous, it should be decorated, decorated~"
"It can certainly be arranged, but it seems to cost money~"
"The black-hearted Galaxy Technology Group~"
In Xiong Tao's live broadcast room, tens of millions of people watched Xiong Tao's live broadcast at the same time. Seeing the picture transformed into the virtual world, everyone couldn't help but be impressed by this fully three-dimensional, fully virtual high-definition picture.
The discussion also started to become lively.
"Please see, when we log into the virtual world, the virtual world will directly create a fictional character based on our gender. We can set this character."
"There are many options. You can choose to keep the original form or modify it."
"Well, for a handsome man like me, it is natural that he needs to make some repairs and changes."
"The height naturally needs to be adjusted to the perfect height of 182cm. In terms of facial features, the eyes should be bigger and the nose should be straighter~"
"Haha~ Do you feel like entering the game interface? The virtual world is a second world, so these are the basic settings. As long as you set this up, you won't have to worry about it in the future."
While Xiong Tao was live broadcasting, he set up his own character image in the virtual world.
"It turns out that you can also choose hairstyles and clothes, but many of them seem to require money to buy. The evil Galaxy Technology Group wants me to top up money, but there is no way~"
Soon, Xiong Tao finished setting up his character, and an extremely handsome man appeared in the room. He looked just like a real person, but his handsomeness was a little weird, which made people feel unreal.
"The character setting is complete. As for the dressing and decoration of the room, let's take it slow next time. I will first take you to experience the magic of the virtual world."
After some operations, Xiong Tao's thoughts moved, and the characters in the virtual world also opened up their own aspects and walked out.
As soon as I walked out of the room, the picture in my mind changed immediately, with almost no pause in the middle, and the speed was very fast.
The characters in Xiong Tao's virtual world appear in the streets of a very lively and prosperous city, carefully looking at this virtual world with curious eyes.
