[mission: World of Warcraft players reach 10 million]


    Congratulations on the completion of the mission


    [gain: 3 memory fragments and a golden task card]


    When the world of Warcraft players broke through 10 million, the light blue holographic window appeared in front of Hao Yun at the same time. Not surprisingly, he''s probably the first person to know that world of Warcraft has tens of millions of people online.


    But it doesn''t make any difference.


    Because soon, like the general cheers of the earthquake, it resounded throughout the office area.


    Even before Hao Yun has time to confirm the reward for completing the system task, he is pulled back to reality by Li Zongzheng''s excited cry.


    "Mr. Hao! Mr. Hao


    "I''m here. What are you shouting about?"


    With an expression of joy on his face, Li Zongzheng grasped his shoulder with both hands and swayed back and forth. It can be seen that he was excited and forgetful.


    "World of Warcraft has more than 10 million people online at the same time! Hahaha, we broke the record


    And this is the result of less than 10 minutes online!


    Even if we look at the whole history of the development of video games, we can''t find such an amazing precedent.


    Having witnessed this moment with his own eyes and participating in the development of the game, it''s no wonder that Li Zongzheng is so excited.


    In fact, it''s not just Li Zongzheng, it''s the same with other executives in the office.


    Liu''s face flushed with excitement, while Du went to the elevator and said he was going to buy a bottle of champagne downstairs.


    There are also the Art Department of Miss artists, are also excited to embrace together.


    Victory not only belongs to Warcraft, but also belongs to cloud dream game and all the players who love it.


    Instead of being crushed by the sea lion group, they stood up in the face of difficulties and withstood the pressure from the giants.


    "Well, I know. Let go of the hand holding my shoulder first..."


    Finally, he noticed that his movements were out of line. Li Zongzheng quickly took back his hand and scratched the back of his head with embarrassment.


    "Ah, I''m sorry, hehe."


    Hey, you''re big.


    I make complaints about it in my heart, but Hao Yun did not blame him, but encouraged him to tap his shoulder.


    "Well done, it''s still the beginning. Now that the beta test has started, I will face all players with every update. There are many things you need to be busy with. "


    "So to speak, but is world of Warcraft run by AI?" Li Zongzheng looked at Hao Yun helplessly and said, "I feel like after the game goes online, there is nothing wrong with us."


    Hao Yun said with a smile.


    "The updating of material library, the planning of players'' activities... There are a lot of things that need people to do. However, as our "zero" continues to grow, we may be able to hand over these tasks to AI in the future. "


    Li Zongzheng suddenly sighed.


    "To tell you the truth, when I saw zero, I was thinking, now that AI technology is so developed, I''m afraid we will all lose our jobs in more than ten years."


    "How is it possible," Hao said with a smile, "although AI is very convenient, a lot of creative work still needs to be done by people."


    Asked Li Zongzheng.


    "Isn''t it creative to run games?"


    That''s an interesting question.


    Hao Yun thought for a while and gave an ambiguous answer.


    "Yes, and not quite."


    Li Zongzheng said helplessly.


    "That doesn''t mean you didn''t say it."


    "Because that''s the truth," Hao Yun continued with a shrug. "Didn''t I say before that the future of Azeroth world is determined by the behavior of all players, which is probably similar to a run group game under the DND rule. We are responsible for making rules, AI deduces based on rules and players'' behavior, and decides the direction of the story development... So I think it''s more like a logical work than creative work. "


    Of course, it''s not entirely logical.


    In fact, Hao Yun has little knowledge of the AI from the "system", and the intelligence it shows is far more than just operating games.


    And according to Wu fan''s description, that update almost covered all the code in the original program, and even completely changed the architecture of the whole program.


    It''s not so much "optimization.".


    It''s more like "rewriting.".


    Hao Yun even has a feeling that its arrival seems to be predestined. It''s like it was designed


    However, he does not intend to think about these problems for the time being. After all, making any inference under the condition of insufficient online information is no different from unfounded conjecture.


    At this time, there was a sudden explosion at the entrance of the elevator, which startled everyone, thinking that something had exploded.


    It turned out that Du Ziteng actually went downstairs to buy a bottle of champagne, and he was still learning from the movie, shaking hard for several times before pulling out the cork.


    As a result, due to lack of experience, the bottle opener was flown out with cork stopper, and the foam burst into the face of Jiangle orange just entering the door.


    Fortunately, people are OK.


    But the clothes must be wet


    "Du Ziteng! Are you crazy? "


    Du Ziteng was confused on the spot and put down the bottle in a hurry.


    "I, I didn''t mean it."


    "You wait for me!"


    Jiang Lecheng gnashed his teeth in hatred, glared at him, turned and ran to the bathroom. Hao Yun asked the female staff of the art department to help, and then sprayed Du Ziteng, who was at a loss.


    "You can''t wait! There will be plenty of champagne for you to play at the celebration banquet... When people come back, remember to apologize. "


    Du Ziteng said with his head down.


    "Yes..."


    Although there was a small episode, it did not affect the festive atmosphere in the company.


    However, at this time, Zhou ruining suddenly trotted to Hao Yun''s side and whispered.


    "Mr. Hao, Yunmeng technology has called."


    The phone of cloud dream technology?


    Is the server resource insufficient?


    Theoretically speaking, this is impossible. In order to ensure the normal operation of the game on the day it goes online, Hao Yun specially arranged for someone to upgrade the server, which is required to meet the requirements of 20 million players online at the same time.


    At the same time, the number of online players has just exceeded 10 million, even if it is a little longer, it will not be doubled, right?


    "I see."


    Realizing that the problem may not be as simple as imagined, Hao Yun nods and instructs Zhou Ruiling to take care of the staff of the world of Warcraft project team for herself, contact her whenever she has something to do, and then go back to the office.


    "Hello?"


    "Mr. Hao, it''s me."


    Wu fan''s voice came from the other end of the phone.


    There is no nonsense. Hao Yun goes straight to the point.


    "What''s the matter with you?"


    "Something happened... Just now, our server was attacked by DOS."


    what the fuck?


    Hearing this, Hao Yun was stunned.


    Although it was expected that the sea lion group might resort to any means, it did not expect that this guy even used such means.


    His expression became serious, and Hao Yun immediately asked.


    "Is the problem serious?"


    "It''s not so serious... It''s better to say that the effect is so inconspicuous that we almost ignored it." With a strange expression on his face, Wu fan explained to Hao Yun what happened at that time.


    Just a few minutes ago, the world of Warcraft server encountered abnormal data access.


    By Ping the ICMP echo request message, the attacker forces the system to spend most of the time responding useless, trying to reduce the network quality of the server in this way.


    After finding the problem, the technicians on duty immediately began to deal with it. However, to everyone''s surprise, when they just opened the background management program and prepared to attack, the source of the attack was quietly cut off.


    At first, they thought it was the hackers who attacked the server.


    But what''s puzzling is that later, the server encountered several attacks of different postures, such as fragmentation bomb and buffer overflow.


    However, the result is that these means are small thunder and heavy rain, and even can not cause obvious network fluctuations, then disappear without a trace.


    It was not until the staff on duty in the computer room got the operation records through the server management program that they found that these attacks had been blocked.


    At this point, Wu fan''s tone was full of admiration and emotion, and he couldn''t help but ask at the end.


    "I didn''t expect that you had considered that our server would be attacked. I still don''t understand, Mr. Hao... How did you do it?"


    "Eh? Ah... Me Hao Yun''s face was full of confusion and embarrassment.


    How to explain this?


    This program is not written by him!


    "If it''s not convenient to disclose," Wu fan continued with a sigh and a slightly straightened look. "According to our technical personnel, the source of the attack is likely to come from the sea lion group."


    Is this thing still traceable?


    What''s on the table


    Hao Yun cleared his throat and asked in a deep voice.


    "Can we collect evidence?"


    Wu Fan said in embarrassment.


    "It''s a bit difficult. We can only say that we try our best to... The other party is very cautious. With the help of many IPS as springboards, the IP with the highest degree of correlation we can trace is also located overseas. If we continue to trace, I''m afraid we can only hand it over to the police to deal with it... Do we need to call the police?"


    Caution is expected.


    Rather, nothing happened to the server, which was beyond everyone''s expectation.


    Thinking for a moment, Hao Yun said.


    "There is no need to call the police first. There is no actual economic loss. Even if the investigation goes on, I''m afraid there will be no result."


    "But..."


    "Of course, I don''t mean to just let it go," Hao Yun continued after hearing Wu fan''s hesitation. "Since they have even used this method, they must be ready psychologically."


    "You mean..."


    "I didn''t say that," Hao Yun said with a smile, "and I did. It''s not now."


    "We have collected a lot of evidence over this period of time, and these accounts have to be calculated in a lump sum. Now is not the time to make extra trouble."


    After a pause, he looked at the French window of the office and continued in a very light voice.


    "Besides, I don''t want them to throw the cause of the failure into the attack on the server."
