Sitting in his office, turning on the computer in front of him, brewing himself a cup of bitter tea, Faraday started his day's work.
He is a computer maintenance specialist for a high-tech company. He has a master's degree from the Imperial University of Technology. He earns a good salary and does some very leisurely computer maintenance work.
This company is affiliated with Royal Entertainment and is developing a very interesting online game. According to this company's consistent performance, almost all of the games it develops are hits.
Faraday doesn’t know where these wild ideas come from, but this company called Blizzard Entertainment can be said to be a miracle in the emerging industry.
It has developed several brand-new games so far, one of which is called StarCraft, which has become popular on the computer network as soon as it was launched.
This game tells the story of three races in outer space fighting each other. Its high degree of completion and balanced battle system have made everyone who has played this game full of praise.
Another game is called Counter-Strike. This game is the pinnacle of gun battle games. It has made countless people crazy about it since it was released.
Next, the game company began to develop new games, adapting and recreating the stories of elves, humans and other races, adding the new concept of the undead, and launched Warcraft.
After Warcraft, Blizzard launched the stand-alone game Legend of Sword and Fairy, and then launched Diablo, a local area network game.
Anyway, this company is great. From its inception to the present, it has made the most of the Internet and computers, and has also added new luster to boring life.
Nowadays, countless computer users can be seen active on the largest online platforms. The social platform launched by Royal Entertainment is popular throughout Ireland. Anyone who doesn't know Penguin now is a backward and rustic guy.
As usual, Faraday opened his login interface, entered his password, and opened the Penguin chat interface.
He skillfully entered some groups and looked at the contents. These were the groups where he worked, where he could exchange some maintenance experience, and he was also willing to answer some difficult questions for people in these groups.
Because of the existence of the Magic Ball of Knowledge, the popularity of computers is much faster than expected. And because of the wealth of Alan Hill, buying a computer has become the latest choice for many families.
Picking up the slightly hot bitter tea on the table, he gently blew the hot air away from the cup, took a sip, and let the temperature roll in his stomach for a while. After a few people, he answered their questions, and then he felt comfortable.
I watched the news pushed by social software.
"Alan Hill's Space Station No. 6 was successfully launched, and Space Stations No. 7 and 8 are under construction simultaneously." His eyes glanced at this message, and the mouse scrolled down quickly.
News about the space station has been pushed out non-stop recently. It seems that the country attaches great importance to this matter, and the launch speed is getting faster and faster.
Moreover, I heard that the space station used some new computer technology. There were very few news reports in this area. Faraday really wanted to know more about it.
I heard that chips have begun to be produced using nanotechnology, many performances have been greatly improved, the functions of processors are unprecedentedly powerful, and graphics cards are being rapidly updated.
In this environment, if he didn't study every day and enrich himself with more cutting-edge computer knowledge, he felt that he would be abandoned by the times in a week.
This is also a feeling shared by many people in Ireland. The skilled workers who were so enviable yesterday have begun to be forced to leave large cities and move to factories in second-tier cities with the large-scale popularization of robots.
Professors who are still university teachers today may be sent to high schools to teach elementary school teachers in a few days because their knowledge is out of date. It is even worse. Most teachers who cannot keep up with progress can only be sent to kindergartens to work.
Fortunately, there are more and more newborns in Eiland Hill, so these people who cannot follow the progress of the times will not be unemployed.
"The troops in the southern region advanced 60 kilometers without encountering fierce resistance from the demons." He turned to the second page, and the content of the push message was the same as the morning news.
In fact, no shocking news has happened these days. In such a vibrant emerging empire, things that once shocked people are no longer serious news.
For example, there were reports before that nuclear warheads were used during the construction of the reservoir in Bellevue. Everyone was shocked by this. It was also the first time that the spectacular scene of a nuclear weapon explosion was broadcast live on television.
But then, there were so many such things that everyone was surprised. There is a joke that goes like this. Now in Ailan Hill, only His Majesty the Emperor can create some news. The rest is just news.
"The Haiyang 9 giant cargo ship was officially launched today. This transport ship uses the latest floating magic array technology, and its carrying capacity is 10 times that of ordinary cargo ships... Compared to the floating ship, it is more energy-saving, but slower...
..." Seeing this, Faraday turned off the push notifications. He was not interested in these things, and it was officially time to go to work.
He typed a series of commands, brought up the command menu, and then pinged dozens of his company's servers to check the network status.
For him, a day of intense and busy work began. While waiting for network packet loss messages to be collected, he grabbed a latest computer magazine on his desk and looked at the computer messages on it.
Compared with the Internet, these professional journals gave him more peace of mind and were more authoritative. Moreover, this kind of knowledge books were purchased by companies, and they were good things that were difficult for individuals to obtain.
"Why can't the human race have nuclear bombs? StarCraft has nuclear bombs, and Warcraft will of course have nuclear bombs." A colleague held a file under his folder, discussed the content of the game with another young man, and walked past Faraday.
Faraday heard the other party's answer and explained that the humans in this game were not designed based on the Ilanthil Empire.
But the other party is still struggling with why humans should be side by side with the elves and a little-known beast clan, and even fight a dead-end battle with each other.
You know, in the real world, the human troops under the rule of Ailan Hill are invincible and invincible!
"That's what the design copy says! If you are dissatisfied, complain to the head of Kunta's department." Seeing that he could not convince the other party, the young man used his trump card.
As expected, the other party stopped talking. Although he was still a little unconvinced, the man who served as the head of the game development department was almost every company employee's nightmare: he said a depressing short sentence at least once a day, and the content of the short sentence was "
