On this New Year's Eve, "Legend" appeared in other topics for the first time. This online game, which has been in trial operation for a month and a half, is slowly beginning to show its due power.
Judgment, Blessing Oil, Attack the Sand and Defend the Sand, PK, City Lord!
Some inexplicable words slowly appeared in the topics of many netizens. "Legend" is really popular!
The fire comes suddenly and without warning.
This New Year, not only Zhao Song’s Tesla will not be on holiday, Chen Qiao’s Shanda will also not be on holiday.
In this life, with Zhao Song's investment and Chen Qiao's superb skills, a call center with 50 people was established before "Legend" was officially launched.
From morning to night, the consultation phone is busy 24 hours a day.
Fifty servers in Shanghai are full, and 30 servers in Jiangzhong are full. Before February 1, a new set of fifty servers in Shenzhen City will also be set up.
The paid operation of "Legend" is a full month later than that of the other time and space, but the server size is more than twice as large.
Zhao Song, who was on his way home, didn't know that because of his excessive participation, the development of many things around him was gradually accelerating.
Just like if he quarreled with a Chinese scientist, it might slow down the progress of certain technologies.
Across the Pacific, America.
The New Year's Eve celebration of flower growers seems to have nothing to do with it here. As for the scenes broadcast on TV of Chinese and overseas Chinese spending the New Year with foreign friends, you may see it in Chinatown. In other places... the flower growers are not so big now.
Influence!

In the office, Crazy Qiao looked at a pile of dismantled parts and a CD-style player on the table, and then asked expressionlessly, "What is this big guy?"
A bald foreigner replied: "Innovation Company just exited a hard drive MP3, NOMAD Jukebox! Steve, it seems we can't be the first!"
"It looks much bigger than a CD player!" Crazy Qiao said nonchalantly: "Have you done a review on it?"
The bald man nodded: "The super expensive price, exaggerated power consumption and contrary portability are contrary to all the characteristics of the IPOD we are developing, and it has not caused much response in the market!"
"So." Crazy Qiao looked at the pair of tiny parts, his eyes shining with inexplicable light, "Our future opponent is still this little thing!"
"It's very crude, very primitive. To say it's crude is to praise it!" Jobs looked at the round buttons on the desktop, TPOD, and continued: "Except for its excellent appearance and sound quality, everything else is useless!"
"Steve, we checked at the National Patent Office. Regarding the appearance patent of the button, the application numbers of our two companies are earlier and later." The bald man shrugged and continued: "I think we will wait until the official patent is issued.
On that day, our two families started a lawsuit!"
"Steve." A tall, thin middle-aged man next to the bald head suddenly said: "Although Diamond won the MP3 copyright case, I believe that the Recording Industry Association will not give up, and we paid real money to get the network.
Copyright, do you want..."
Crazy Qiao did not reply, but asked another tall, thin middle-aged man: "Cook, how is the response to our iTunes?"
Cook is a tall, thin, middle-aged man who currently serves as the head of Apple's computer division.
Shaking his head, Cook said: "Itunes has been introduced to our OS system for a week, and there hasn't been much fluctuation. After all, everyone prefers to use free MP3!"
Crazy Qiao looked at the bald man, "How long do we need our IPOD?"
"It's planned to be October at the earliest!"
"Then let our lawyers prepare and launch in October. Don't give the flower grower any time to react! I hope that by then, only the IPOD will be on sale in the American market!"

January 24, the first day of the Lunar New Year, Tesla Industrial Park in Pingchang District.
At seven o'clock in the morning, the door opened early, and two elderly men were carefully sweeping away the dust and firecracker debris that had drifted in from nowhere.
During the Chinese New Year, people patrol the area around the Tesla factory at all times to prevent anyone from setting off cannons nearby.
"Uncle Zhang, Uncle Li, morning!"
"Good morning, Director Gui!"
With a few greetings, more and more people wearing Tesla work clothes entered the factory area. The greetings and New Year greetings were very lively and orderly.
7:30.
In the material warehouse, a small PCB board that has been cut out, together with countless other PCB boards, was transported to Factory Building No. 4 by logistics vehicles one by one.
There, the former lean PC assembly line was dismantled to the Kyoto Electronics Park warehouse a few years ago, and now it has been turned into a complete SMT workshop.
8:00 sharp.
The bell rang, and the small PCB board was held in the hands of a worker, who checked it over and over again. After repeatedly confirming that there was no problem, it was sent to the SMT machine and began to be mounted.
The SMT production line has a very high degree of automation. There are a total of 4 assembly lines arranged in the entire No. 4 factory, but the number of workers is less than 50. Their duty is to keep an eye on the machine at all times. Once any abnormality occurs, they will immediately stop the machine for inspection.
.
8:50 minutes.
The small PCB came into the hands of another worker. At this time, it was covered with capacitors and chips. The worker put it under an industrial magnifying glass for a final inspection.
Fortunately, the small PCB board did not have any flaws. It was carefully covered with a layer of anti-shock film and placed in a neatly arranged large packaging box. Next to the packaging box, there was a blue plastic box with stickers all over the body.
The pile of small PCBs is already half full. To the naked eye of ordinary people, no flaws can be found in these small PCB boards, but they are still abandoned here.
9:00.
The small PCB board was put on the logistics truck again, and 5 minutes later, it arrived at Factory Building No. 5.
There, sixteen conveyor belt assembly lines were ready to go, with people sitting next to each other on each assembly line, completely opposite to the empty Factory Building No. 4.
The switch has already been turned off, and the assembly line is running non-stop. The workers in the material department took out the small PCB from the packaging box and placed it in a storage box. Many other accessories had already been put in there.
, including a beautiful TPOD2 case.
The storage box was put on the conveyor belt, and after a short distance, a worker took it from the conveyor belt to the operating table and began to assemble it in earnest.
His movements were unskilled, but he was extremely serious. Behind the worker, someone would pop his head to check from time to time. After seeing that there was nothing wrong with him, he walked away again.
9:47.
An assembled semi-finished product was reinstalled into the storage box and placed on the conveyor belt. The small PCB board also disappeared and turned into a beautiful-looking TPOD2.
10:30.
Zhao Song took a square packaging box from Gui Luyang.
The packaging box is simple and compact, so simple that it has “no design”!
There is no text on the top surface, only a black and gray plexiglass with a shiny orange T on it.
Four sides, two TPOD fonts and two TPOD photos, arranged staggered.
This is the packaging of the second generation TPOD shulle. The meaning of "no design" can be expressed as: no artificial creation, everything seems to have evolved in step with the times. The font has changed, the font size has changed, and the product has become bigger.
, the product is closer, boldly using black...
Zhao Song carefully unpacked it, took out a black TPOD, took off the hearing aid, and put the same black earphones into his ears.
"Dong~~"
"Dong~~"
"Dong~~~"
"Let me say goodbye to you
Then gently pull out my hand
……….”
"The Ferry" by Tsai Chin.
Zhao Song gently closed his eyes and felt the three drum sounds carefully. Even if he had a wooden ear, he was very sure that he could feel the vibration of the drum surface three times!
