Seeing that the door was dyed green by smart glasses, Zhu Lingling took a deep breath and twisted the doorknob.

The door axis quietly rotates, revealing the interior of the chairman's office.

Habitually glancing at the desk, but not seeing his boss, and then looking at the floor-to-ceiling window, there was no figure either, and his eyes turned to the pantry, and this time he finally saw it.

In the office cubicle, Atletico Madrid is boiling water and making tea by the stove, which is quite leisurely.

Not only him, but there are many people in the bee garden today who are as idle as him. On the first day of work after the holiday, the "post-holiday syndrome" suddenly broke out in the intranet system of the bee garden, and the business chain could not be connected, so the relevant employees naturally had to be idle.

Of course, it is only the R & D posts, management posts, logistics posts and these intranet users who have to be idle, and the students in the IT posts of various departments are all so busy that their foreheads are sweating, even if they are occasionally free, they are busy scolding, and the unreliable bee cloud network should be scolded, the department colleagues who are not long-sighted have to be scolded, and the inattentive Intel is also scolded.

In order to maximize the utilization of resources, the self-use cloud system of the bee garden adopts a centralized layout and has always been stable, but it was tragically attacked by its own users this morning, and the core area quickly collapsed and the service was unresponsive.

On the tablet in Zhu Lingling's arms, there was the preliminary investigation results of this network incident. Because the office system has not been completely restored, I had to bring it over and report it in person.

Speaking of which, this crash is just a simple shutdown, there is no external attack, there is no virus Trojan horse raging, the damage caused is not serious, so although everyone has some complaints, but they are not too nervous and anxious, intranet users brush the neck, feed the goldfish, look at the scenery, and wait with peace of mind; the IT department calibrates data, tests hardware, writes patches, and works in order, but also has a clear division of labor and order.

The high heels stepped on the office carpet, making a sound that was not light or heavy, secretly announcing his arrival. Xiao Bu came to his boss and stood still, and the female assistant nodded and greeted: "Boss!"

"Hmm," pulling his consciousness away from the screen in his head, Atletico turned to look at the other party and nodded slightly: "There is a result?"

He participated in the compilation of the core architecture of the Bee Cloud system and the security patch of the processor, and he was an absolute insider. This time, seeing that the cloud system was directly "attacked" by his own users, he felt funny at the same time, but also had infinite curiosity, so he sent the big housekeeper Zhu Lingling to investigate the situation.

"Yes," Zhu Lingling nodded in response, habitually unlocked the tablet and glanced at the information, and then opened her mouth to introduce: "Preliminarily, there is a problem with the business connection between Bee Cloud and Bee You Home Entertainment. In order to solve the 'meltdown' and 'ghost' vulnerabilities, the Bee Cloud technical team arranged a system upgrade during the holidays, which caused the server IO performance to drop significantly, and the new compute nodes as compensation were still tested and failed to go online. Just in time for the resumption of work today, major studios intensively launched virtual servers to test games, quickly depleting the resource pool allocated to them, and eventually causing the system to go down. ”

The game department has long carried out the reorganization of the business group, sharing the brand of Bee Games externally, but internally there are three independent companies: Mutual Entertainment, Home Entertainment, and Youdian, which are responsible for online games, stand-alone games, and console platforms. Because of the holiday activities, the online game and platform departments did not rest on the National Day, and only the stand-alone department collectively had a long holiday, and they were the ones who caused the problem this time.

Nodding, Atletico took the kettle and put it in the tray, and walked towards the rest area. He sat down and motioned for the other party to sit too, and then lifted the kettle to make tea for the two of them, and then he asked with a smile: "Over there, the Silk Road Studio recently said that it was going to test the Han-Hungarian War, and our cloud system should not be destroyed by the cavalry war, right?"

As a AAA game with a new IP, "Silk Road" won millions of sales in the first week of its release, making a good start. Seeing that the momentum was good, the film soul of the Silk Road Studio instantly awakened, and the filming of the Han-Hungarian War such as "The Battle of Hetao", "The Battle of Hexi" and "The Battle of Mobei" was launched. Historically, tens of thousands of horses were mobilized on both sides of the war, and the battle was tragic on the road, and the film and television works could not be shown due to cost and safety issues.

"No," Zhu Lingling shook her head when she heard this, "The resource consumption of cavalry battles is within the normal limit, and the problem is 3E Studio." ”

"Huh?" Atletico was a little surprised when he heard this, "What did the elementary school students do? It is even more powerful than a cavalry battle of 100,000 people?"

Hearing this, Zhu Lingling couldn't help but want to laugh.

Holding back a smile, she looked down to find a video and handed the tablet to Atletico, "This, you better watch it yourself." ”

Click to start playing, a wide floating island appears in the vast galaxy, hundreds of aliens are divided into two sides of fierce fighting, one side is wearing a large number of red cloaks, the other side is wearing a few blue clothes but both have a unique skill, the two sides come and go but are inextricably fought.

These are AI-controlled characters, but the battle takes place in a virtual space on a virtual server.

After looking at it for a while, Atletico raised his eyebrows, "It's just a simulated battle with two hundred people, and this alone doesn't seem to be able to drag down our cloud system." ”

"It's really not enough," Zhu Lingling smiled and threw out the inside story, "They made three mistakes in a row, they didn't optimize the game code, the resource occupation of the new gameplay was far higher than expected, and they chose the wrong parameters during the simulation, used the foreground mode with higher resource occupation, and finally entered the wrong number with their hands, and started 3,000 such battles at the same time." At that time, the load of the cloud system was already at a high level, and such a large amount of task traffic suddenly poured in, and it was finally unable to support it. ”

There are two modes of Beegame's simulation server, one is the pure background mode with only the server side, which simulates tens of thousands of program-controlled robot characters masturbating against each other, and finally outputs visual charts, which verifies the system design and analyzes the game values to provide a basis for who will cut the milk and who will do it next. On the other hand, these processes are omitted and a video project file containing the game footage is directly output, which is usually used to make real-time algorithmic animations.

What's more, the output of the foreground mode is a "holographic video" that contains all the information and can be easily transcribed into VR video and regular video, which occupies far more than the background mode for graphics processing and data reading and writing, and the latter is the weakness of the new cloud system.

The video on the tablet is extracted from the relevant server. While the two were talking, the video on the tablet still did not stop and soon came to an end, only to see several blue-clothed "immortals" release powerful skills at the same time, shattering floating islands, melting planets, and finally there were snowflake dots and mosaics representing data errors, and even the virtual space was shattered.

Hearing this, Atletico also had a crying and laughing look on his face, "In other words, our server was actually unintentionally killed by the robot?"

Zhu Lingling couldn't help but smile and nodded, "That's true." ”

Atletico shook their heads and nodded, but finally said, "This new way of playing is quite creative." Fortunately, the external business system was not affected, and the results did not seem too bad. ”

"Indeed," Zhu Lingling nodded yes, "Bee Cloud hasn't had time to implement patches for the business system server, so this part basically remains normal, but the southern customer service center has been greatly affected." ”

Considering the problem of manpower and accent, Bee has two customer service centers in the north and south, the northern center is far away in Ping County, Qin Province, the hometown of Atletico Madrid, and the southern center is located near Ludao. The former is far away and safe, and the latter uses the nearby Bee Cloud network, which also suffered a computer strike this time, and can only be temporarily replaced by laptops, tablets, mobile phones and other devices, and the work efficiency will inevitably drop a lot. The productivity of these devices cannot be compared with ordinary desktops, and the work efficiency of customer service is naturally reduced.

"By the way," remembering something, Zhu Lingling said again: "There is another situation, there may be some trouble." ”

Atletico put down the teacup and looked at her, "What?"

"The work could not continue, many people went online to pass the time, and then someone broke the news about the intranet failure on the Internet, and some people mentioned the CPU vulnerability. ”

It is not surprising that the accident was exposed, there are more than 20,000 employees in the bee headquarters alone, plus the non-local employees, partners and even users who noticed that something was wrong, the number of people who knew about it easily exceeded 100,000, and there was no way to keep it secret. Fortunately, only the office intranet was hung up, and the external business servers were not affected, which did not cause huge losses, and there was no urgent need for external confidentiality.

In contrast, CPU vulnerabilities are still a small-scale industry secret, and they should not be leaked suddenly.

The entire industry is waiting for Intel, AMD and ARM to develop vulnerability patches, and they are not ready to be released to the public for the time being, after all, it is far better to dig a hole than to dig a well, and it is obviously easier to get consumers' forgiveness and acceptance when announcing the vulnerability and announcing that the patch is ready.

On the other hand, Intel only released the 8th generation Core processor in August, and if a serious vulnerability is immediately exposed, it will inevitably adversely affect the sales of new products from toothpaste factories and downstream PC and server manufacturers, and will eventually be reflected in the Q4 (fourth quarter) and full-year performance statements. It is related to the year-end bonus of many people, and everyone can naturally delay it, if it can be delayed until the work is handed over and the stock is sold, it will be even better.

Unfortunately, this tacit understanding has now been broken.

It's a shame that Atletico Madrid said before that Google with a big face would be the child who called the king to break the king's new clothes, but he didn't expect this glorious task to fall on his own head in the end.

It is completely conceivable that there is a news background of the unexpected downtime of the bee office system, and the news of the processor vulnerability will soon spread on the Internet, and it may even have spawned the fake news that "the Intel processor is exposed to high-risk vulnerabilities, and the bee server is paralyzed and all employees are fishing".

Thinking of this, Atletico Madrid was also annoyed, "Why is this also exposed?"

"I'm afraid the source is not easy to check," Zhu Lingling spread her hands, "This happened, many people on the Bee Cloud side are scolding Intel, and there are some references to CPU vulnerability patches in their words." However, if you want to investigate, you can contact relevant companies to obtain evidence, and cross-comparison of several clues should narrow the scope of suspicion. ”

"Forget it, there's no point in checking this," Atletico Madrid was too lazy to bother with this thing, "Bee Yun can investigate according to the regulations, and the group level will not care." As for this incident, you can let the public relations department tell the truth, after all, we are also victims. ”

As soon as the words changed, he couldn't help but complain again, "Hey, Intel is about to release its Q3 financial report, and I don't know how many media will jump out this time to fire Cozaich's squid." ”

Brain Krizzanich joined Intel in 1982 and has been working in the chip production department since then until he was promoted to chief operating officer in 12 years and later to chief executive officer, his Chinese name "Krzanich" was obtained by himself after taking office to show the importance of the mainland market.

In recent years, Intel has had a bad year, the PC recession threatens the sales of consumer-grade processors, the bet on mobile processors has suffered a huge loss of $7 billion, the development of new processes and new architectures is difficult to deliver, the proud Tick-Tock plan (Tick-Tock) is almost bankrupt, and the lack of brightness in the replacement of new products has been ridiculed as "squeezing toothpaste". The superposition of various unfavorable factors has led to the sluggish growth of the company's stock price, which affects the earnings of major shareholders. Seeing this situation, every once in a while, the media published articles criticizing Koch, and there was a momentum of "Cozaich does not leave, Intel will be difficult to save".

However, Intel is not Yahoo, which changed its CEO four times in five years and was finally broken up and sold, and the media's doubts did not shake Lao Ke's position, and Intel is still firmly moving towards the goal of becoming a toothpaste factory under his leadership. With the strong growth of the data center business brought about by the rise of cloud computing, coupled with the quiet price increase of "Core brand toothpaste", the company's performance has finally ushered in continuous growth, and the handsome position is more stable than before.

When it comes to industry bigwigs, Zhu Lingling just keeps smiling, but she doesn't answer the conversation.

Picking up the teacup and taking a sip, she picked up the tablet and was about to leave, "Boss, if it's okay, I'll leave first." ”

"Wait," Atletico suddenly stopped her, "we still have to take the initiative." Wait a minute, you let 3E Studio go through these test results, find some wonderful ones to post on the Internet, there may be netizens interested. ”

The news of the intranet outage has already spread, so naturally there is no need to hide it anymore. At this time, the test video of "Crashing the Bee Server" was released, which not only satisfied the curiosity of the melon-eating masses, but also diverted the focus from the bee downtime and CPU vulnerabilities. In addition, if the "Red Army vs. the Old Immortals" is popular, it can be regarded as a warm-up for the promotion of the new gameplay, and it will be counted in one fell swoop.

Zhu Lingling nodded in agreement, and quickly assigned the task to Gou Mao of 3E Studio. Although the latter complained bitterly, he could not resist the will from the highest levels of the company. He could only glare at Pang Jun in annoyance, and then reluctantly left the office and went to the studio next door to intercede and move the rescuers. A full 3,000 holographic videos, not only to watch them one by one, but also to set up the lens trajectory for transcribing ordinary videos, the time is tight and the task is heavy, and these "primary school students" in the studio are really busy.
