Rebirth of the big era of online games

Chapter 165 The boiling Internet cafe out of the circle (plus more)

(Monthly ticket plus update still owes 1 chapter)
Zhan Li thought that the student who won the provincial liberal arts champion was a nerd and might not be suitable for the position of student union chairman.

But after some conversation, she realized that she was wrong.

Not only is this kid not a nerd, but he is a smart person, and he is tall, handsome and rich.

It's a pity, I'm a little older, otherwise... Tsk tsk.

After the conversation, Fang Jie drove Zhan Li back to the school headquarters that night, confirming what he said was true.

The reason why the new car arrives so quickly is not that "Tiger" is efficient in handling affairs, but that the sales kings such as Santana 2000 and Jetta have been in stock for a long time, and there is no need to order and wait. You can pick up the car on the spot after paying the money. One of the potential benefits of the car.

Back to Boiling Internet Cafe, the Internet Cafe is already overcrowded.

Three days ago, at 9 o'clock in the morning on September 1st, Boiling Internet Cafe officially opened for business.

Different from the new Nanhu campus, sophomores, juniors, and seniors here in the headquarters register normally, while Boiling Internet Cafe is opened at the south gate of the headquarters. This area is a place frequented by college students, especially It's the karaoke side of Hong Kong Road, which is extremely lively at night.

Therefore, on the day of the opening, students who had two days before the official class began pouring into the Internet cafe. At night, the attendance rate of the Internet cafe was close to 80%, and even if it was overnight, the attendance rate exceeded 50%.

On the second day, almost all the students in the school knew that there was an Internet cafe with a large scale, extremely fast Internet speed, and excellent performance on Gongda Road, and almost all stand-alone games were installed in the computer, and there were countless classic movies and TV shows. , Variety shows at home and abroad...

Especially variety shows at home and abroad have opened the door to a new world for college students.

At the moment, Korean dramas and dramas are not very good. In China, you can only watch "Quick Book". What is really awesome is the variety shows and movies in the harbor area.

In terms of variety shows, such as "Super Sunday", almost all the popular stars in the Hong Kong Bay area have participated. These popular stars can be said to be popular all over Asia. One of the hosts is Yu Chengqing, and Brother Xian, Zeng Baoyi, Xiao S, etc. The hosts all started to rise from this show.

Fortunately, the diskless workstation only uses the server to download these film and television variety shows, otherwise it will really toss people to death. This is the unique advantage of boiling Internet cafes.

This era doesn't talk about copyright at all, it's your ability to get Internet cafes, these variety show content, even the pirated CDs in the computer city can't get it.

Just to make a joke, a student went to an Internet cafe with a pirated CD to watch "Returning the Pearl" and the popular "Daming Palace Ci" some time ago, but found that the computer in the Internet cafe did not have a CD drive. The next day, I went to the Computer City to return the pirated discs...

Not only that, but there is also a preferential activity for members to recharge. The hourly Internet fee is only 3.5 yuan/hour, which is lower than the consumption level of other Internet cafes, and it is very convenient to get on and off the computer. How long did you use the Internet and how much did you spend? Money, all records can be checked by yourself, so that everyone spends money clearly.

So, it took only one day for Boiling Internet Cafe to go out of the circle. Three days later, the attendance rate in the evening has reached 100%, and many people are waiting in line at the gate to get on the plane.

Now not only the students from the University of Science and Technology come to the Internet, but the nearby Provincial University of Technology, Beer Light Industry School, Huazhong Normal University, Urban Construction Institute, etc., including the recently merged Automotive Industry University, as long as they are close, they would rather walk 5- In 20 minutes, you have to come to the Boiling Internet Cafe to surf the Internet.

Boiling Internet Cafe, as its name suggests, is really boiling.

Seeing this crowd of people, Xia Hao, the manager of the Internet cafe, Zhang Yan and Liu Ziyu, the two receptionists, and Qin Yang, who came here specially for a stay, all burst into laughter, and the stone in their hearts fell to the ground.

At first, they were worried about gains and losses. They were afraid that the occupancy rate of the super-large Internet cafe with 200 computers would not meet the standard. Now it seems that worrying is unnecessary, and they even regret it. They think it should be a scale of 300 computers and rent the third floor.

Xia Hao even ran upstairs to ask Fang Jie for a test, but unfortunately he was rejected on the spot.

The school has not officially started yet, and the students have time to waste their time until the school starts. Such a scene may only happen on weekends, so the current number of computers is sufficient.

The key is that there is no fun online game that can really catch the student party.

51wan counts as one, but this kind of interactive community that only uses time to hang up, students can open a computer and help other students hang up at the same time, there is no need to turn on the computer at all.

"King of Kings" is also considered one, but the computer in the Internet cafe does not have a CD-ROM drive, so it cannot be played.

But Fang Jie had a way. After returning to the Internet cafe at night to do some research, he went up to the third floor to recruit the employees who were working on "Millennium" and proposed a formal work project.

Ask them to dump the hard drive of King of Kings.

Maybe it’s because the technology is not good enough, or because the hard disk capacity of the current personal computer is too small, “King of Kings” adopts the CD game mode, but Boiling Internet Cafe doesn’t need it. There are diskless workstations, and the game can be loaded no matter how big it is.

Isn't it just adding a hard disk to the server?How big is it?
Fang Jie had long wanted to convert "Kings" to a hard disk, but the workload was too much, and he didn't have time to do it. Now there are a bunch of idlers, so he can't make the best use of it.

There is another way is to directly get out the black technology of virtual optical drive technology in advance, but Fang Jie thought about it, and felt that it was unnecessary and a waste of human resources. Virtual optical drive technology is a transition, and it will be eliminated sooner or later. It is better to directly convert it to a hard disk. convenience.

For hard disk hardening of stand-alone games, there are quite a few masters among the masters, such as the main program "Iron Man" who jumped from the target software. He is too familiar with this, so he called a few programmers and started Lived the life of 007's Liver Emperor.

Now those who can receive work from Lord Tenjin are the envy of everyone.

Everyone is full of abilities, but squats here every day to play games, and there is no chance to show it in front of the gods. This is related to major benefits such as car allocation, housing allocation, and equity incentives in the future. Who can receive the job first? Son, whoever speaks in front of everyone can have more confidence.

So a big guy who is proficient in servers took the initiative to propose that we should not start a game proxy server project.

After Fang Jie thought about it for a while, he felt that this could be done, but he divided it into two project teams.

A group is mainly used as a proxy server for LAN games, that is, after the game proxy server is set up, "CS" can not only play games through the internal LAN of the Internet cafe, but also Internet cafes or Internet users in other parts of Jiangcheng and even other parts of the country can also access this server to play the whole game. Net battle.

This technology was developed by the "Haofang Battle Platform" in the middle of 2002 in the previous life.

When you log in to Haofang, you can play against local area network games such as "CS", "StarCraft", "Warcraft" and other LAN games nationwide, without being limited to the local area network of an Internet cafe, and play games with players in this Internet cafe.

The other group is responsible for online game proxy servers, mainly building overseas IP proxy servers.

This overseas proxy server can provide technical support and convenience for domestic players to play overseas online games. In the later classic chicken-eating games, everyone uses this overseas proxy server to log in to foreign servers to play games. There is nothing wrong with this advance layout.

However, if you want to set up a proxy server, the premise is that you have to bring China Telecom into the chariot. Without the support of China Telecom, a data service provider, if you do it yourself, the cost will be high, and if you cooperate, it will be a win-win situation. result.

So Fang Jie called Wang Changxu, who had been working in the provincial capital for more than two months, and asked him to meet at Boiling Internet Cafe tomorrow night to discuss related matters.
