There was a strange touch on his arm, and Gou Mao opened his eyes and saw a huge dog head.

This dog is black and white, and it is the Internet celebrity's cute pet Siberian sled dog. If you look closely, you will find that it moves honestly and has wooden eyes, unlike normal Erha.

The truth is also true, this is actually a robot dog produced by digital creatures. When it comes to being smart, intelligent, and beautiful, robot pets naturally can't compare with well-cared for pets. However, they also have the advantages of simple care, no eating, no pulling, no illness, no biting, no gnawing and no tearing of the house, which is very suitable for a single lazy man like Gou Mao who is busy with work.

After years of continuous iteration, the intelligent engine of digital creatures has become more and more powerful, and things like licking arms and calling early are naturally difficult for them, and at first glance they are easy to take as real pets.

Laughing and patting the dog's head, Gou Mao yawned and lay back on the bed, "Don't make trouble, I'll sleep for a while!"

"Wang!" the big dog barked twice, turning his head to look at the electronic clock beside the bed.

Then he looked at it and saw the green word "Monday", and then he reacted: it turned out that the long vacation had ended, and it was time to go to work again.

Turned over and got out of bed, pushed away the dog's head that came over, bent down to pick up the clothes scattered on the ground, both men and women were stuffed into the dirty basket, and then pinched a few wet rubber balloons, raised their hands and threw them into the garbage basket, and then breathed a sigh of relief and went into the bathroom to wash their hands and take a bath.

Since becoming the head of 3E Studio, Gou Mao has moved out of the bachelor apartment and rented the current three-bedroom apartment under the help of the team members, which has greatly improved the living comfort.

It is said that the housing prices in Haixi are lower than those on the island, and the company still has interest-free home loans to apply for, so there should be no problem in buying a similar house directly. However, most of Director Gou's income was used by him to invest in the company's virtual shares, and he is still single, but there is no need to buy a house in the short term. And compared with buying a house for self-occupation, the property management of the serviced apartment is responsible for all affairs, which is obviously more suitable for a lazy person like him.

After taking care of his personal hygiene, the wet Gou Mao returned to the bedroom, picked up his "silicon girlfriend" and put it in the bathtub, and then picked up the doll's special cleaning liquid to start routine cleaning and maintenance. This work should have been done last night, but he was too lazy to move at the time, but he has been putting it off until now. Fortunately, this doll is basically waterproof, so it's not too much trouble to take care of.

Ten minutes later, Gou Mao carried the cleaned doll and put it into the small bed in the study. There is a separate lock, and the apartment staff does not have a key, but there is no need to worry about privacy leakage.

After all the things were done, Gou Mao walked to the front of the wardrobe and picked out the clothes for going out.

In fact, there is nothing to pick, Egret Island is still warm in autumn, and the IT men's suit of short-sleeved T-jacket denim sneakers is enough to cope.

Changing into clean clothes, Gou Mao patted his dog, "Look after the house!"

"Woo!" the big dog barked twice, reflexively burrowed into the kennel, and stuck his head out to look at him, revealing a humanized depressed expression.

"Hey!" Shaking his head, Director Gou inspected the equipment for going out, locked the door and walked to the elevator.

After breakfast in the bee garden canteen, he raised his wrist to check the time, and walked briskly towards the company. 3E Studio has been working overtime to catch up with the schedule recently, and he, the person in charge, cannot afford to be left behind.

Pushing open the glass door with the slogan "Enjoy Easy Electric", I suddenly heard the click of keyboard and mouse buttons, and occasionally a human voice or two, which looked like I was working hard.

But just glance at the screen in front of them, and you will see bullets and lasers in the air, but they are playing a game.

This is also the daily routine of 3E in the last month, after nearly two years of development, their work "Cosmic Arena" has entered the closed beta stage, and everyone's daily task is to guide players and catch insects to fill loopholes, so naturally they have to stay in the game.

As the studio's name suggests, 3E Studios is committed to creating simple, fun video games, and at the beginning they wanted to imitate Overwatch to create an entertainment FPS shooter game, setting the core gameplay of alien fights, but halfway through the game's development, the popularity of Overwatch was cut in half, and survival competitive games like "PUBG Battle Royale" became the new favorite of players.

The market trend has changed, and Gou Mao can only reluctantly overturn the original development plan and lead everyone to develop the "chicken" game instead. Fortunately, Bee's PTE engine is powerful enough, and various public resources are powerful enough, and although the AOU project encountered some twists and turns, it was still completed on time without danger.

Glancing over everyone's tabletops, Gou Mao turned around and entered the pantry, intending to help everyone make a few cups of coffee. 3E is full of young people in their 20s, known as the "primary school" team, and his subordinates are used to being leaderless, and he, the person in charge, also doesn't mind mingling with his subordinates.

Putting down the tray and picking up a cup of sweet coffee and putting it in front of Shen Yao, he casually glanced at the latter's computer screen, but almost flashed his waist.

Shen Yao is the main artist of the studio, in addition to a notebook, drawing tablet and tablet, she also has a huge three-screen monitor on her desk, which is not only convenient to use to view pictures, but also to provide her with a wider field of vision when playing games.

What surprised Gou Mao was the scene displayed on the screen.

In the space arena full of magical technology, hundreds of aliens with different shapes and weapons of different shapes, but all wearing red cloaks are chasing another group of aliens in a gang, bullets flying, laser strafing, tentacle bounce, shrapnel bursting, it looks quite spectacular.

However, this scene fell in Gou Mao's eyes, but it made him depressed, and he couldn't help but want to hold his forehead and sigh.

In the world of online gaming, when multiple players wear red and act in groups, it usually means that they intend to break through the rules and form a so-called "red army".

Born out of a survival competitive multiplayer game, some domestic players decided to unite and dress their characters in red, act collectively with the help of voice group chats, and clear foreigners out of the battle before deciding the final winner through infighting. This practice is becoming more and more popular because it effectively improves the winning rate and gaming experience of participating players.

There are pros and cons, and the Redcoats have taken advantage of their cluster advantage, but put opposing players at a disadvantage, detrimental their gaming experience, and have therefore been criticized by this group of players as well as neutrals. For game companies, this kind of practice affects the atmosphere of the game and breaks the rules, which is also not worth advocating, and Gou Mao naturally does not want to see this phenomenon appear in the games developed by himself.

Seeing that the game was over, he reached out and patted Shen Yao on the shoulder, and asked a little nervously, "What's going on?"

"No," the latter shook his head and denied, "This is a new way of playing by Fat Brother, called 'Red Cloth Impact'." How's that? Interesting, right?"

"Oh," Gou Mao breathed a sigh of relief, "I was shocked, I thought AOU was also targeted by these people." ”

"It's nothing," Shen Yao touched the coffee cup in front of him, squinted and smiled, "By the way, thank you for the coffee!"

"Well, you're welcome. ”

Smelling the coffee, everyone else shouted. Especially Pang Jun's guy screamed the most happily: "And me! I also want to drink Brother Dog's coffee!"

Gou Mao turned his head and glared at him when he heard this: "When you are hungry, you will eat and sleep, and if you are sleepy, you will drink coffee with wool?"

"Well, isn't this waiting for Brother Dog to come back to guide the work!" Pang Jun squeezed out of his chair and walked over, stretching out his fat hand towards a pink paper cup.

Team Leader Gou stretched out his hand to block it, "Drink sweet coffee every day, do you want to lose weight?"

"The plan is suspended," picked up the paper cup and poured it up, Pang Jun explained with a smile: "Recently, I have stayed up late and my body is a little weak, and I plan to start again after a while." ”

"Heh," Gou Mao turned his head to look at him, "Your physique is still weak, isn't that Xiao Yao half-empty?"

After everyone had drunk coffee, Team Leader Gou looked at Pang Xiaopang: "By the way, what's going on with that red-clothed mode?"

"Well," the latter nodded, "it's a team battle mode I've newly designed, inspired by the 'Red Coats vs. Old Immortals' video. ”

"Immortals" originally referred to the legendary high-level beings such as gods and immortals, but at the moment it is a joke for players to open players, especially for the "PUBG Battle Royale" game.

Like other Korean online games, "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" after becoming popular also caused all kinds of plug-ins. Because of the strong market demand, the plug-in author is full of motivation to continuously launch new plug-ins, bringing cheating players the ability to see, penetrate walls, become bigger and smaller, drill into the ground and other violations, and then become the "old fairy" in the mouth of ordinary players.

During the National Day holiday, a large number of players poured into the game, the population base increased, and the "Red Army" and "Old Immortals" also increased accordingly, and then finally a comet hit the earth together.

"Whether it's the 'Red Army' or the 'Old Fairy', they are all unprovoked and extremely annoying existences for ordinary players, and when the two come together, no matter who wins or loses, the audience can get fun from it. This is where my mode comes from, allowing most players to join the 'Red Army' camp, and a small number of players to join the 'Old Immortals' camp to gain some plug-in-like abilities. ”

After listening to him talk about the situation, Gou Mao couldn't help laughing, "It's really you, you can actually think of new ways to play when you watch a video, it is worthy of being the trump card planner of our studio!"

Pang Jun's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Brother dog, do you agree?"

"Agree with what?"

"Computing resources!" stretched out his fat hand to beg for it, Pang Jun hurriedly urged: "Team leader, you don't approve resources, what can I use to test new gameplay?

"Doesn't sound like a big deal," Gou Mao nodded slightly, "Okay, I'll take a look, and I'll give you authorization later." ”

Picking up the paper cup of coffee and drinking it all in one gulp, Pang Jun quickly ran back to his seat, and at the same time urged with his face: "Hurry up, boss!

"Okay, okay, right away," responded impatiently, Gou Mao took out his director's secret and plugged it into the USB port on the desktop, and logged into the office system.

Seeing Pang Jun's application entry, he didn't look carefully and clicked to agree.

Just as he was about to go to the next project, Gou Mao suddenly felt the computer freeze, "Eh, what's going on?"

Not only his work terminal, except for Shen Yao and a few other artists, other people's machines without exception showed obvious lag and sluggishness.

Team Leader Gou is not a stupid person, so he immediately figured out the most likely reason, and turned his head to look at Pang Jun, "Pang Xiaopang, has the simulated battle started?"

"It's already started. ”

"How large?"

"Two hundred by three hundred, it's exactly a set of servers," Pang Jun also realized the problem, "Everyone's machine suddenly becomes stuck, can't it be because of this?"

In order to save costs and increase security, Bee has vigorously promoted virtual terminal technology in its subordinate companies, except for special positions such as artists and sound workers who must use professional equipment such as graphics workstations and audio workstations, the computers assigned to others are just a miniature terminal, which needs to be connected to the virtual computer in the cloud server to achieve the corresponding functions. The servers used by the major studios of Beegame to test the game are also in this system, and the performance will be automatically released when it is used up, which can effectively save costs.

If nothing else, the stuttering problem that swept the studio should be caused by this mock test.

Looking at the mouse pointer that was shaking and moving, and various drifts flashed, Gou Mao sighed lightly and gave up his efforts to cancel the simulation, and turned his head to look at everyone, "There is no way, the machine is too stuck to operate and reserve, so I can only wait for it to complete the simulation and release resources." By the way, none of you have breakfast? I'm in for a treat!"

"Yes, yes!" everyone responded enthusiastically, each giving the names of two or three foods. Even those who had breakfast reported the name of the fruit drink, obviously not intending to let the leader's kindness go to waste.

"Uh," looking at the failed loading order page, Gou Mao laughed, "I'm sorry, the canteen website is also hanging ......"

"I'll wipe it, and so will the intranet!"

The voice fell, but the internal phone on Gou Mao's desk rang.

walked over and glanced at the phone screen, but it was a call from the Bee Cloud Intranet Department. This department is responsible for the management and maintenance of the virtual terminal within the group, and if there is a problem on the Beegame 3E side, they will naturally notice it.

The phone was connected, and as soon as Gou Mao reported the name of Gou Mao in 3E Studio, he yelled angrily: "Are you blind?

There was a problem with the machine just after the start, Director Gou was already a little annoyed, but now he was scolded and yelled, and immediately went back, "Is it big? 60,000 bearings, this little load can't be carried, it shouldn't be that your server is aging and slowing down, right?"

He just casually found something to scare people, but he didn't expect to hit the bull's-eye and guess the truth.

After a period of overtime, the Bee Cloud technical team was on holiday on the National Day holiday, and implemented self-made security patches for the "ghost" vulnerability and "meltdown" vulnerability before everyone returned. The new patch restricts the predictive execution function with security risks, resulting in a decrease in processor performance and a significant decline in the ability to read and write I/O data. It doesn't feel obvious in daily use, and if you open large-scale reading and writing intensively, it is easy to get stuck.

To make matters worse, the notice issued by the Intranet Department was vague and ignored by most intranet users. Everyone used to call resources as usual, and it didn't take a few minutes to crush the internal dedicated cloud server.
