Build a gaming empire from scratch

Chapter 205 Server Problem

Lin You was greatly shocked.

"Mr. Fan, how about taking care of the heterosexual group with the largest proportion of players?"

——In other words, among the player groups, the heterosexual group should account for the largest proportion, right?

Lin You hesitated for a while, mainly thinking of those female players who called their wives to the paper figures, and the male players who also called their husbands to the paper figures.

He shook his head to drive the absurd thoughts out of his mind, it's not a same-sex dating platform with the surname B!
Fan Rui shook his head when he heard Lin You's words.

"No, no! I was reminded by you, the boss! I didn't expect it to be like this!"

In fact, Fan Rui was also greatly shocked, and even had the feeling of suddenly realizing the truth: "Stripers, novelty! Rare! Topic! And perfectly avoided the risk of review! Genius idea!"

Fan Rui flattered Lin You sincerely: "The boss is the boss! You are indeed a talented producer who is rewarded by God! That's what I did!"

He turned around and ran away while talking, impatiently wanting to make a move and turn his ideas into actual content!
Do not!
Lin You stretched out his hand behind Erkang, no!
I don't want to be praised in this kind of place! ! !
Unfortunately, it was too late.Fan Rui had already run away.

To make matters worse, the princess's "puchi" laughter came from behind, probably because she couldn't hold it back.

Lin You turned around, and found that this arrogant intern didn't care about the boss's face at all, and had already bent over laughing.

"What? You like strippers too? Are you so happy?"

The princess, who was grinning from ear to ear, looked up at Lin You in surprise, and stretched out her hand to pat him angrily and amusingly: "What are you talking about!"

"Don't you like it? Then Fan Rui will probably be very sad."

Zhu Cixia didn't know what to say, so he could only look at him speechlessly.

Not far away, Qin Songyun watched the two people "fighting" and felt that it was good to be young, so he stepped forward and handed over the specific plan of "Freedom Day" to Lin You.

By the way, a point of concern is raised: the problem of server expansion.

Virtual reality technology is powerful, but it is impossible to really build more than 1000 million virtual cities for players to play in.

Especially when this virtual city still looks very real, and the content is highly rich, neither the player's mirage host nor Yunmeng's pitiful server can hold up, no matter how advanced distributed computing is.

There are some things that players may not realize: In fact, for each player, the range that can be seen at the same time is limited, and the server only builds the city within one kilometer from the player as the center, and the further 2 kilometers to 3 kilometers In the range of kilometers, the accuracy will be greatly reduced. Beyond 3 kilometers, it is simply a map.

This is why, the sniper rifle with the longest range in "League of Assassins" is only 800 meters, even if all the modified parts that can be installed are installed, it will not exceed 1 kilometer.

——Because no matter how far away it is, high-precision maps and NPC displays will not be supported.

Of course, if it is a spacious environment, this range will be expanded, but spaciousness also means that there are fewer content elements, and the calculation power will naturally be smaller, and the expansion of the range will not cause additional pressure.

To be honest, this range is already very outrageous technically.

Especially in an urban environment, under normal circumstances, it is completely enough for players to toss and play.

Qin Songyun was a little worried based on this situation: "If too many players are allowed to fight on one map at the same time, the server will probably crash. But there are too many mirror servers, and only a few hundred players can be placed on one map. If tens of thousands of mirror images have to be divided, the server may also crash!"

After all, games are different from games played by players themselves. Players play by themselves, most of the data is stored locally, and the server only collects key data.

But to gather countless players together, the responsibilities of the server will be greatly increased, and the pressure will be very high.

Many players who don't know the inside story will think that in some large online games, millions of players are online at the same time, isn't it okay?

This is actually two different things. The prerequisite for millions of players to be online is to divide up many servers for distribution.

Not only server splitting, but also a map must be mirrored splitting to limit the number of players online on the same map at the same time.

How much you can be online at the same time depends on whether the server is strong or not, and whether the technology is strong or not.

Even if the server and technology are strong enough, it is impossible to squeeze 1000 people into one map.

All the propaganda about "thousands of people competing in the same picture" and "ten thousand people's battle" are all deceptive and impossible.

It cannot be done on hardware.

Unless you are a pixel or word game.

Qin Songyun has a headache. The company has just released a game, and it is selling well, but it can't afford high-end supercomputers as servers, right?

——He still doesn't know that Yunmeng is now tax-free. In fact, the profit from the game alone is almost enough.

Of course, this only counts the hardware cost of the top supercomputing, not the computer room space, electricity consumption, heat dissipation, maintenance and other issues.

If you count it all, it's not enough.

So he discussed with his employees for a long time, and the solution he came up with was to buy better servers as much as possible, and at the same time lengthen the event schedule, allowing players to proceed in batches and time periods.

As long as most of the players are eliminated in the first batch of auditions, the subsequent pressure will become less and less, until there are only a small number of players left, and the server can fully handle it.

This is an old-fashioned and prudent method, which is relatively safe, extremely feasible, and saves a lot of money.

But Lin You shook his head and directly refused, "No, five hundred people in one picture is really too few, not lively enough, at least 3000 people should be together?"

"Besides, the days are too long, so it's not called [Freedom Day] anymore, it's just called [Freedom January]..."

"Don't worry about the server problem, I will solve it."

The money earned from games alone is a bit stressful, but the console earns a lot of money!

This week, Lin You didn't fill up the production capacity of the mainframe, didn't the remaining money just make the best use of it?

Besides, it will be a matter of time before tens of thousands of people are allowed to move on one map and one virtual world at the same time.

It is impossible to create countless virtual worlds in the future, but in the end there are only 100 people in each world, right?
That's a fucking second world, right? !

So in a word, buy it!
As for the specific price, Lin You still has some understanding.

Now the top supercomputer "Dongting Sixth Generation" commercially sold in Daxia, the hardware price alone is about 63 billion, and the performance is overwhelming.

It is still a bit far from supporting the huge virtual world that Lin You conceived.

But with Xiaomeng's targeted adjustment and optimization, and advanced virtual world construction technology, maybe [-] players can be stuffed into the metropolis at the same time!

It's enough for players to toss casually!
—at least for the moment.

As for the computer room, electricity consumption, heat dissipation and other issues, it sounds very troublesome, so Lin You decided——

Call Lu Doraemon Wei.

When you have both financial ability and connections, you can often do things to your advantage.

The only thing he has to worry about is whether he can make it in time.
