"Dear Dad, it's time to get up, the beautiful sun has risen, be a person, don't waste your precious time, don't forget the teacher's earnest teachings, if you can't make money lying in bed, don't collapse in bed every day in the best time of your life......"

"Bang ......"

"Third child, hurry up and turn off your damn alarm clock!"

"Wait, boss, this morning at eight o'clock in the morning, "Eighth Continent" officially opened for public beta, did you forget yesterday or the alarm clock you set for the third one?"

"Damn! everyone wake up, get up, "Eighth Continent" is going to be in public beta, and you can't grab the first wave of registration codes, don't blame this and that when the time comes!"

"Get up, get up, eighth continent, eighth continent!"

......

After a period of chaos, at 7:50 in the morning, the four sophomores in Room 308, Building 12, Xingnan University's men's dormitory, were already sitting neatly at the computer in the dormitory, waiting for the first time to register their accounts at eight o'clock.

In fact, this scene is being staged in the dormitories of countless colleges and universities across China.

Not only college dormitories, but also many families and even many companies have seen the same scene.

A group of people sat neatly in front of the computer, ready to enter the game for the first time.

If you look further away and look at it from the perspective of the world, you will find that the same is true abroad.

Although for players in many time zones, the time node of eight o'clock in the morning of Huaxia Beijing time is not friendly, and even many time zones are two or three o'clock in the morning at this time, but for these foreign players, they can only endure it, who let the main body of this game be jointly developed by three of the most well-known technology companies in Huaxia?

Of course, more importantly, there is too much publicity about this game around the world.

This is the world's first online game dynamically adjusted by a quantum server, the world's first online game to introduce artificial intelligence NPCs, and the world's first online game that can theoretically accommodate three billion people online at the same time and be in the same region.

If you have to list the first, there are too many firsts in this game, such as the game development cost 1.8 billion US dollars, which is the result of Yuxin Technology using itself to call a lot of quantum computing power.

It's also the first game with as many as 1.08 million preset quest lines, and these 1.08 million quest lines are really nothing compared to the various side quests or situation quests that the system may randomly spawn. Because the plot is completely random, it can be compared to the real world, and God knows how many surprises or scares await players.

This is the first online game to be able to call various external software in the game.

Lianyin, Hepin, Station, Facebook, Twitter and even Tmall, Amazon, Tuantuan, Ele.me, etc., etc., all kinds of software have been officially announced to have specially designed in-game versions, players can directly access these software in the game, and can log in directly with a real account.

What's even more terrifying is that the in-game payment system of these software will allow everyone to pay with in-game currency.

This was also the hottest point of "Ninth Continent" at that time.

Open up the dimensional wall, maybe the gold and silver coins you earn in the game can directly open up reality.

Of course, it's not that the game currency can really be used directly as money, it is said that this is the "Ninth Continent" development company Yu Xiaogoose behind the three giant technology companies with credit endorsement, so that these Internet companies all over the world accept users can pay with in-game currency, and then they settle with Yu Xiaogoose every month to settle the cooperation model.

That's all, and here comes a more novelty point.

Still according to the official announcement, players of "Ninth Continent" can also borrow game currency in the game after reaching a certain level of achievement and credit value in the game, and the entire financial system construction in the game is jointly built and maintained by Xiao Riba and Penguin Group, and the big data credit system accumulated in reality over the years is fully introduced to maintain the financial balance in the game.

That's exciting enough, but there's more to it than that.

What's even more explosive is that all the idols spontaneously designed by users of the Xin system in the national idol software that have been in operation for more than two years have been designed by the developers as intelligent NPCs in the game, which can interact with fans with real feelings.

Moreover, the characters in these national idols are completely based on the spontaneous design of fans in the national idols.

Fans say that he is proficient in all musical instruments, so she or he is a musical genius, studying in various music schools, and proficient in all the music in the world.

The fans set up idols as super geniuses, and in the game, they are peerless characters who know astronomy and geography, with an IQ of 280, and Einstein has to match it.

It doesn't matter if the characters are the same, because the map is big enough, also according to the official announcement, this game uses the most advanced lossless quantum compression algorithm, a total of 630G, of which the light map resource is about 560G, this is a map that restores the earth's oceans and seven continents in proportion, but the difference is that in order to fit the theme of the game, an additional continent is added to the game, that is, the eighth continent.

Maps can be seamlessly transferred,It is said that if this game does not use any in-game transportation props,It takes about two days to complete a medium-sized city in the game,Remember it's just a circle around the city.,If you want to go around the whole city.,It's at least a month.,If you want to get the whole city done.,Maybe you have to play for more than half a year.。

Such a large game download is naturally a problem, and in the era of quantum 5G, this is not too troublesome, and the official website of the game has been developed and downloaded a month in advance. Players who are attracted early will naturally prepare the client early.

It doesn't matter if you want to enter the game temporarily, you can place a 60G installation package in a few minutes, and other maps and resources can be automatically downloaded in the game.

Of course, the latter is relatively few, in fact, since three months ago the game began to be promoted in various channels around the world, it has aroused the interest of countless people, according to background data, from the beginning of the game's announcement, to the day before the official public beta, the number of people registered in the background of Yuxin Technology has been nearly 2.69 billion people, of which only Huaxia has 600 million users registered in advance.

According to the statistics of various channels, the client has been downloaded more than 3 billion times.

There is no doubt that "Eighth Continent" is the most watched and subversive online game in human history.

Although it has not yet been able to use the science fiction simulation technology in science fiction, it is a great achievement in this era.

At the moment, at least two billion people in the world are eagerly awaiting, waiting for the game to be launched as soon as possible.

......

Lu Yezhou is seizing the last few minutes to deepen his understanding of the game on the official website.

As the boss of the dormitory, he felt that he needed to take the three younger brothers in the dormitory to break out in the world of games.

Yes, Lu Yezhou has this self-confidence.

Compared with the alumni of other institutions in the school, they still have an advantage.

Although they are now in the College of Gastronomy, after all, they have completed their freshman year in the School of Computer Science in their dorm room.

When it comes to changing majors, that's another sad story.

More than two years ago, quantum computers were born, and quantum programming and quantum visual effects became the two new technologies that attracted the most attention in the global science and technology community.

But this is definitely bad news for working programmers and college students who have chosen computer science as their future career direction.

At that time, Lu Yezhou and his four roommates happened to be freshmen who just entered the School of Computer Science of Xingnan University in September, and all four of them happened to be very interested in programming, and they even agreed to go to a company together to exercise themselves after graduation, and they would become top programmers in China in the future.

If there are no accidents, their lives will probably go according to their ideals. After all, Xingnan University is one of the top 985 universities in South China, and it is the first university in Xingnan Province, and the Academy of Computer Science is one of the key departments of the school, and its major ranks among the top ten in the country.

However, man is not as good as heaven.

In November of that year, the quantum computer was born, and the machine programming and machine visual effects were directly demonstrated at the press conference, if there were still people who were skeptical about machine programming and machine visual effects at that time, then Yuxin Technology convinced everyone in the next three months, and even subverted everyone's perception of the so-called software engineering.

However, in just three months, Yuxiao Goose Interactive Entertainment, which was jointly funded by Yuxin Technology, Xiaoli Baba and Penguin Group, has released a total of 2732 applications on the Xin system, including 1600 mobile games, 432 terminal games and 700 various applications, with an average of more than 30 games and applications released every day.

Of course, this is not the case, because these games and apps require various approvals to be launched in the world, so the first two months are basically various applications, and then the third month starts to be launched one after another.

It is said that in fact, in the past three months, Yu Xiaogoose has actually developed a full 5,000 applications, even if the official review team of more than 100 people moves to Yu Xiaogo's office and works with this company, it will not be able to review so much.

This wave of operations directly stunned developers all over the world.

Especially the games developed by Yu Xiaoge, whether it is a stand-alone game or an online game, it can be said that they are all high-quality.

Cute two-dimensional, suspenseful realism, RPG, card collection, etc., each game has made its own characteristics, especially the excellent game graphics, and any one can become an industry benchmark.

That's also the case.,Yu Xiaogoose has about 320 games on Steam in three months.,It took another two months to directly dominate the list.,If it weren't for Steam directly changing the recommendation rules,The top 100 best-selling games can't see other companies at all.。

Of course, it doesn't really work to change the rules, because there are still 98 games in the top 100 that are popular.

People make games for several years to sharpen a sword, and this sword has to change the way to eat for several years. Yu Xiaogoose is a few a day, and any one is sharper than other people's swords.

The result, of course, has been a wave of bankruptcies on a massive scale around the world. Many well-known game companies, software development companies, special effects companies and software outsourcing companies have been directly put down, not to mention those small studios and individual developers.

Even a lot of professional engineering software has been replaced.

According to the statistics of an authoritative organization, in just one month, 30% of the world's programmers were laid off, and the position of programmers who were re-employed was also in jeopardy.

And that's not all, what happened after that was even more terrifying.

Yuxin Technology and the World Quantum Technology Alliance, which includes several European and American high-tech companies, as well as traditional car companies including Daim Group, jointly issued a statement that Yuxin Technology authorized these companies and groups to use Yuxin Technology's quantum computer technology to produce quantum brains.

So here's the problem.

When there is only one quantum brain in the world, it has already shut down more than 30% of the world's programmers. So what will happen when these international tech giants have their own quantum computers?

Jobs such as developers, front-end, back-end, network engineers, software designers, and so on are almost invisible on job boards in various countries, and they disappeared almost overnight after the joint statement was issued.

You must know that even after Yu Xiaogoose proved the strength of quantum computers, there are still many companies that want to recruit a group of programmers with a basic salary to attack a certain project.

After all, a quantum computer has so much computing power, and everyone knows that Yuxin Technology can't always use Xiaozhi to do this kind of thing.

The industry also estimates that programmers will have a year to two more to survive.

The sudden change also left college students without math computers dumbfounded.

Lu Yezhou and the three brothers in the bedroom are one of them.

There is a saying that whose youth is not confused, but when this industry, which should have a great future, disappears in front of them, these children who have just entered a small society are called particularly confused.

Not to mention that they feel lost, the teachers in colleges and universities are also confused.

It is said that at that time, the dean of the Xingnan Institute of Computer Science would ask everyone a question at a meeting every day, is there any point in letting children learn programming now?

Fortunately, it didn't make them confused for too long, and another big news came.

Yuxin Technology made another move and signed a cooperation contract with 268 colleges and universities in China.

The meaning of the contract is to give most of the students of the School of Computer Science a chance to make a new choice.

Probably this is the case, all the colleges and universities that cooperate with Yuxin Technology organized children to re-conduct an exam by Yuxin Technology, from which about one percent of the seedlings were selected, and continued to learn computer-related knowledge, and in the future, Yuxin Technology will ensure that these best computer talents provide a high-quality job.

Then the remaining 99% of the students were given a chance to choose again and join the new majors built by Yuxin Technology in various universities.

Lu Yezhou's School of Gastronomy Studies is one of them.

Of course, this major is not to train chefs, but to innovate on the basis of various dishes, to develop a new generation of cuisine that is both nutritional science and different from traditional cuisine, simply put, to find the most stimulating method of human taste buds in the laboratory with scientific and healthy means, and then record it and sell it to restaurants all over the world.

This is the case, and whether this major can be successful or not still needs to be tested by time.

The most attractive thing is that at present, the tuition and miscellaneous fees of this major are all free, and each person can also get a living subsidy of 3,000 yuan provided by Yuxin Technology per semester, which is naturally very popular.
