After Cohen listened to Lin Feng's words, he was stunned and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

One in five people in the world play "Shijie Wars", and obediently, the world's current population of 6 billion, isn't one in five people playing "Shijie Wars"? However, he also knew in his heart that Lin Feng was not talking nonsense, and he did not make up this number out of thin air.

The first closed beta of "Shijie Wars", the number of players around the world is as high as the second closed beta, and on the basis of the first closed beta, the number of closed beta has almost doubled, and the number of closed beta users has exceeded 200 million.

Second closed beta, that's a number enough to drive any gaming company crazy. Any online game, even a stand-alone game, will be a hit as long as it is supported by 200 million players. But this number is the number of online users in the second closed beta of "Shijie Wars", which is even more terrifying. Based on the ratio of the number of online players to the number of gamers, Shijie Wars has a gamer base of one-fifth of the world's population, which is not an excessive request, it is very reasonable and achievable.

One-fifth of the population plays Shijie Wars, which is definitely a good thing for the company, but for them, the hardware supply department, it is not so good news. At present, "Shijie Wars" can only guarantee that 75% of people will not get stuck on the battlefield of 1000 people, and more cannot be guaranteed for the time being. And once one-fifth of the world's population really enters the game, any battlefield may reach tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands.

Can the hardware support it? Can the performance of the gamer's computer support it? Can the company's supercomputer support it? These are all very tricky and real problems.

"Boss, I'm afraid this will be a bit difficult in the short term. According to the current speed of computer performance, by the open beta date of "Shijie Wars", I am afraid that at most 75% of the player's computer can meet the battlefield of 2000-3000 people, and it will be very difficult to do more. Cohen didn't dare to hold it up.

Lin Feng shook his head.

"Too little, too little!" Lin Feng let out a long sigh, "I ask that on the open beta day of Shijie Wars, at least more than 70% of the world's computers can withstand the battlefield of 10,000 people. After one year, it will be able to withstand 100,000 people, a million people in three years, and tens of millions in five years. ”

Hisss -- everyone here is taking a cool breath.

There is a classic saying in philosophy - quantitative change to qualitative change.

In the world of online games, the same philosophy applies. When a certain number of players are online at the same time, the demand for computer hardware rises exponentially. For the battlefield of 10,000 people, only the player's computer needs to reach the computer of Pentium 4, but 100,000 people may be Pentium 5, millions of people will be Pentium 6, and tens of millions of people may be Pentium 7. Every increase in the number of people on this battlefield is a leap forward for computer hardware. If Lin Feng wants to reach the scale of the battlefield of 10,000 people in the public beta in-app purchase, he must require players to reach the computer of Pentium 4. This is the current luxury configuration, and in 2 months, will most gamers be able to have a computer like this?

Cohen is absolutely skeptical. After all, most gamers are not very wealthy, and most gamers don't have the money to spare when it comes to changing the computer configuration for a game. You know, now with a set of Pentium 4 computers, it's not cheap. Isn't it disturbing to let players match each other's products! Although I have to admit that for now, the CPU of "Intel" is indeed stronger than that of "AMD" of "Second Shijie".

"What, you think you can't do it?" Lin Feng glanced at Lu Zhiyi, the president of the "AMD" department, who thought about it and slowly shook his head. It's not that Lu Zhiyi self-deprecated "AMD", but that the "AMD" chip is not good for the time being. Although Lin Feng has increased the company's investment in the "AMD" and "ATI" hardware divisions, it is unlikely to make any qualitative leaps in the short term. The innovation of scientific jishu takes time to accumulate, unless there is the birth of a genius, or the acquisition of a more advanced jishu. But at present, the "second shijie" hardware department does not have these two points, so for the time being, it can only look forward to a breakthrough through the accumulation of time.

"Everyone, as far as I know, at present, the performance of computer hardware has far exceeded the hardware performance of Sony's '***2', but in terms of game performance, the vast majority of games are not as good as '***2' games, even if there are so many games that can be compared with '***2' game performance, but you know, '***2' is a game console launched in 2000, and now it's 2004. Today, four years later, it's not as good as a home game console four years ago, and I think it's a bit too incredible!" Lin Feng said as he knocked on the table.

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, with a strange look.

"Lin Dong, this is not converted like this. There is an essential difference between '***2' is just a dedicated game console, and computers are not developed just for gaming. Lu Zhiyi explained.

"But in my opinion, there is no difference between the two. Lin Feng interrupted Lu Zhiyi's explanation, "For players, there is only one thing they see, that is, the current computer games are not as good as '***2'. But the price is much more expensive than '***2'. ”

Lu Zhiyi looked depressed, and he really didn't know how to explain this.

"Lin Dong, what do you mean?" -- He Guoyuan, the president of the "ATI" department, was enlightened.

"It's very simple, as I said before, to develop a gaming entertainment computer designed specifically for gamers, with a dedicated gaming entertainment system. Could it be that there has been no progress in the past six months or so?" Lin Feng said with a frown.

This "game entertainment computer" and "game entertainment system" Lin Feng proposed it more than half a year ago, and ordered Lu Zhiyi, He Guoyuan, Cohen and others to start research and development, and now it seems that these people do not attach too much importance to it. Thinking of this, Lin Feng snorted heavily.

Seeing that Lin Feng was dissatisfied, everyone was a little surprised. How to say this, it is true that they are a little negligent, or a little contemptible. Of course, it's not that they haven't done research and development in this area, it's just that they haven't put too much effort into it. In their minds, this "game entertainment computer" and "game entertainment system" are really a bit off-the-beaten. While most PCs are currently used for gaming and entertainment, it's a bit too bizarre to have one developed specifically for them. And will consumers pay for it?

You know, once its performance is biased towards one aspect, the corresponding other aspects will be less functional, that's for sure. It's like "***2" hardware is very good for playing games, but it is not good for some professional image processing or professional data processing. And to let consumers spend thousands of yuan to buy a computer that can only be used for playing games and watching movies and entertainment, this is a bit mysterious.

"It's true that it's a bit of a mystery to make consumers spend so much money on such a 'professional' computer. But don't underestimate the appeal of the game to players. For the time being, the mainstream of buying a computer is still games and entertainment, and as for studying, work is an aid. What's more, can't the 'game entertainment computer' be used for word processing and office study?"

Lu Zhiyi, He Guoyuan and the others glanced at each other and shook their heads. This is naturally impossible, and no matter how "professional" computers can be used for simple office software applications, word processing is still no problem. It's just that the performance will be much weaker in some professional fields.

"OK!" Lin Feng snapped his fingers, "Since this is the case, let's immediately develop the 'Game Entertainment Computer' and launch the 'Game Entertainment System'." I'm going to launch it before Christmas. By the way, the end of this year is also the peak period for buying computers, Chen Xiaowei, you spend more time in this regard, and start the publicity a little more, so that consumers who want to buy phones recently will wait for a while longer, and Zuihou will let them all choose to buy our 'game entertainment computer'. ”

Chen Xiaowei nodded.

"Okay, then let's dismiss!" Lin Feng clapped his face. It's already 3 o'clock in the middle of the night, and everyone is already tired, and there is still work tomorrow.

"Boss, what about the second closed beta of Shijie Wars?" asked Minwu-Lee.

Now the second closed beta of "Shijie Wars" is controlled by 1,000 people per battlefield, and players are having fun killing and enjoying the game. But according to the original Jihua, the second closed beta of "Shijie Wars" ended at 3 o'clock in the morning. But obviously, now that it's over, the player will *** again.

After all, anyone who is playing is having a good time, and suddenly the game is terminated, they will scold their mother.

"Well," Lin Feng tapped his fingers, and his eyes lit up.

"Announcing that all players will be informed that the second closed beta of Shijie Wars will end at 7 a.m. And after the end, according to the player***, the global *** before 1000 rewards will be awarded. Lin Feng said with a smile.

"What reward?" everyone was stunned.

"The 'Legend of the Creep' computer developed specifically for Shijie Wars. Lin Feng blinked.

"Legend of the Little Soldier" computer?--Everyone was stunned for a long time.

"It's 'Game Entertainment Computer'!" Lin Feng sighed helplessly. These people are all well-known big names in the industry, why are they still so unenlightened. "Game Entertainment Computer", but specially developed for "Shijie Wars", and as every player, in "Shijie Wars", they will go through the process of going from a soldier to a marshal, and it is very appropriate to name it "Legend of the Little Soldier".

What's more, the most popular book in the online literature industry is "The Legend of the Little Soldier", and Lin Feng just took the opportunity to promote "The Legend of the Little Soldier". Kill more than one stone!

"Also, after the end of the closed beta, the statistics will be made immediately, and the player's data in the game will be officially released, and it will be *** globally. Remember, I want to be very detailed, how many enemies the player kills in the game, how many times they are killed, and so on. Keep in mind that although the data from the closed beta will not be carried over into the open beta, all data cannot be lost, and it will become an honor roll for all players. Lin Feng commanded.

Minwu-Lee's eyes darkened. At this moment, a whim in Lin Feng's mind, their entire department was asleep tonight. These data have to be counted, and how many days will it take to use manpower. The data of 200 million players will not be counted by the next century if they count more than 300 people in their group, so they must develop a set of statistical software. This software is not very difficult and does not take much time. However, there was no data statistics before, and if you want to count the data of the previous players, you must call up the historical database.

The historical database of 200 million people, !! Minwu-Li, is spinning, so it is necessary to develop a set of software to conduct automatic searches, automatically recall historical data, and analyze the credibility of the data, and then filter and correct errors. Thinking of this, Minwu-Lee felt a headache. It's not too difficult to develop, but to develop it in four hours is a bit deadly!

"Boss, I'll go first, or I'll be choked later. Minwu-Lee immediately got up, turned around and ran towards his game department. Every minute of delay would increase the difficulty of the meeting, and he didn't dare to delay more. Before leaving, he glanced at Lin Feng resentfully.

Boss, if you want this data, say it earlier. It would have been easy to say no! Just add a piece of code to the game, and then everything will be solved!

Looking at the figure of Minwu-Li leaving in a hurry, everyone was silent for a while. Don't even think about sleeping tonight. Then he looked at Lin Feng again, and was a little envious - a sentence above, and a broken leg below - it was really not wrong.

Lin Feng shrugged helplessly. Isn't this a whim? Didn't you just remember it, and you can't blame yourself!

"That's right, and" Lin Feng frowned, just now he wanted to say something, and suddenly forgot about it.

Everyone shuddered. Minwu-Li couldn't sleep all night after being tossed by Lin Feng's words, and now that Lin Feng is here again, they are terrible. Immediately, the crowd ran away. Of course, everyone dared to run away because they knew that there was nothing wrong now, or that something was also Minwu-Lee's business, and it had nothing to do with them. But although it has nothing to do, it can't resist Lin Feng catching a strong man. It's already three o'clock in the morning, so for tomorrow's work, let's run away! As for if Lin Feng really has something, then it depends on which strong man Lin Feng catches when the time comes.

"Uh" When Lin Feng remembered what to say, when he turned around again, his eyes were empty.

"Actually, I want to call everyone to go to supper together," Lin Feng said helplessly.

At this time, all players who are fighting "Shijie Wars" receive a message - the top 1000 shijie*** will get a set of "Legend of Little Soldiers" computers.

Crazy!
