Chapter 57: Detonating the Internet
Ask for tickets, ask for collections, ask for everything! The new book list is in jeopardy, please top it up!
……
It only took a day to go from the uproar to the sudden silence of the media across the United States.
It's like a soprano singer, and when he was singing to the most high-pitched and passionate time, he was suddenly blocked by a knife!
Abruptly stopped!
Since then, the whole world has calmed down.
This has also allowed countless people to see the power of the Internet, and just one threat has formed a terrifying 'don't buy newspapers' wind.
In fact, Link can do a little more absolutely, he can even take advantage of the psychology of countless netizens who want to register an account to achieve more goals. Even if he wanted the president of The New York Times to announce his resignation, it was not impossible.
But Link didn't do that.
First of all, if he does, then it is not in Link's interest that CAA Media Group will never die with the New York Times.
Another point is that his power can be so powerful, in addition to the eagerness of netizens to register, there is also Link's own influence.
This kind of influence is not unlimited, if you use it once, you will use it less, and if you use it more, it will make netizens feel disgusted. Link wouldn't be stupid enough to do that.
At the same time, Link also believes that it is time to reopen the registration channel. If he continues to persevere, the eagerness of netizens will turn into anger.
No one can bear this kind of anger!
Although the media has calmed down, there is one place that is destined to never be calm, and that is the online world.
On the evening of March 20, netizens who had been anxiously waiting for several days finally waited for Link's promise.
A new announcement was placed on the front page of ShowYou and ShowMe.
"This site will reopen for registration at 0:00 a.m. at 21rì. At that time, the second version of the website page will also be logged in at the same time. ”
Another small announcement, once again bombarding the entire network.
In countless forums, almost every post is netizens expressing their cheers and happiness!
"Oh my God, ShowYou and ShowMe are going to reopen registration, is that true?"
"I'm so happy, after so long, I can finally register. God, I'm so happy! ”
"I've burst into tears~~~~ Warmly celebrate ShowYou and ShowMe opening registration again."
……
And there is also a lot of prestige about this matter in ShowYou and Showme.
The username 'If you want to buy photos, please Aite me' is already a big celebrity in the showme, and the number of fans has approached 50,000. He became famous in the last ** battle and is one of the people with the largest number of fans in the entire showme.
"Dear fans, I just wandered around other forums, and those sad babies are cheering now. I guess they're already crying, haha. ”
This article has just been published, and the comments are already full of more than a dozen pages.
"Hello God, I'm so happy to grab your sofa, it's the first time, I'm so excited. Downstairs kids, follow me. (10:31:21)
"Hello God, am I on the first floor?" (10:31:21 PM)
"One floor, one floor, I'm definitely the first floor." (10:31:21 PM)
……
"First despise the idiots upstairs, and then ...... Hahaha......" (10:31:23)
"This is the great god, a mighty one, and in the first second, more than two hundred first floors appeared. By the way, I feel like it's a blessing to have a showme account right now. (10:31:23)
……
"Am I still commenting on the first page? It's hard to find a chance to show your face. (10:31:24)
"Brother upstairs, this is the eleventh page. By the way, everyone do a good job. Are the newcomers ready? I'm starting to get excited. (10:31:24)
"Hello everyone, goodbye everyone. I'll just look at the comments, I'm almost laughing to death, there are more than 200 first floors. (10:31:24)
……
The whole network was shaken by ShowYou and Showme, and Link was sitting bored in the Fahrenheit Media Network Department at this time, looking at Andrew who was busy and anxious.
"Andrew, don't worry, there's still more than an hour."
Andrew wiped the sweat from his face and replied without looking back, "Mr. boss, you can't feel how excited I am now!" ”
"Although there are still more than an hour before the opening of the registration channel, the number of visits to DúlìIP has already exceeded 9 million. There are more than twenty countries and territories with IP addresses, do you know what that means? I already feel like I'm going to faint with bliss. ”
Link rolled his eyes, "Wouldn't you be going to die of excitement after that hour?" At that time, I will have a large dividend left. ”
"Haha, my little boss, you won't let you get away with it." Andrew hurriedly turned around and smiled excitedly at Link, and then continued to get to work.
At 23:59 p.m., the entire Fahrenheit Media Network Department was already silent, and everyone held their breath, waiting for the shocking moment to come.
Goo-dong.
Link swallowed hard, and he became trembling slightly, and the huge excitement made him unable to calm down.
"Andrew, are you ready?"
Andrew nodded: "And ...... 19 seconds to go. ”
"Are you sure there won't be any problems?"
The more he got to the end, the more Link was a little bit of a loser, for fear that there would be a little mistake.
"Don't worry, Mr. Boss, although I only started the third set of servers 10 minutes ago. Of course, registration isn't open yet, but I still have 5 backup servers, so I shouldn't have any problems. The second version of the website is also available at any time. ”
Link nodded silently, looked at the time, there were still 5 seconds to open for registration, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath.
……
At the University of Toronto, Canada, Rachel has been waiting in front of the computer for a long time. She turned her head to look at her roommates, all anxiously waiting. She knows that what everyone is waiting for is the open registration of ShowYou and Showme.
"So he's Link."
Rachel constantly thinks about the morning on the eve of Thanksgiving last year, when she and a few classmates were filming a personal movie in Hollywood. The young Chinese man, and his sentence 'You should change to a black sè umbrella'.
"I'll just say, how could he be so familiar?"
Rachel sighed, she also learned that the Chinese was Link's when "The Big Bang Theory" was broadcast in Canada.
"He's really amazing, no wonder our solo film can advance to the finals, I really want to thank her in person."
Rachel remembers how her mentor commented on her personal film.
She even remembered her mentor's excited expression very clearly.
The tutor stood up from his seat in shock, stared at his eyes and shouted, "This shot...... Oh, my God! It's so beautiful, it's so shocking. Especially the umbrella with black sè, if that umbrella is missing, the end of the movie will completely lose its sè color. This black sè umbrella made me see a dazzling and intense visual conflict in this personal movie, which was perfect! ”
That's right, Rachel remembered every word her mentor had said at the time, and how excited she was at the time, almost screaming.
Just as Rachel was in a daze, a scream from her roommate woke her up.
"Ah...... Here we go...... What a card! ”
"Why can't my webpage open, it keeps prompting network congestion. Oh my God, our dorm uses the bandwidth of the education network, how can this be? ”
……
In the Fahrenheit Media Network Department, at the moment of zero o'clock, the indicators of all the servers in the computer room began to flicker wildly, as if they could give people a psychedelic feeling.
"Oops! Quickly activate the first set of standby servers, I feel like ShowYou and ShowMe are about to explode, how many people are pouring in at the same time. ”
"An explosion is impossible, but I feel like my brain is going to explode."
"Hurry, hurry, second group...... No, no, no! Open both groups directly. Oh, my God...... I think it's better to turn on all the backup servers, they're going crazy. ”
……
When I don't know how many people registered to log in to ShowYou and ShowMe at the same time, Andrew was so excited that he was about to faint.
It was only when he saw that all the standby servers were enabled that he felt a little relieved.
Link was not at peace in his heart, he had just received an unknown number of phone calls, all of which were pre-jǐng calls from the American Network Information Association.
The woman on the phone said in a solemn tone every time: "Mr. Link, according to our detection data, your station is likely to be suffering from a large-scale cyber attack, please pay enough attention." Those hackers don't know how many 'broilers' cāo has indulged in, and they are sending registration requests to your site like crazy. As a final reminder to you, you can request assistance from the U.S. Network Data Center. ”
Link smiled happily every time he received a call from her.
"That woman is so funny."
Thinking of the woman who had called a dozen or so times, Link could laugh every time.
It wasn't until 5 hours later, around 5 a.m. on 21 rì, that the registration of the big cháo subsided. But there are still netizens who are frantically squeezing their accounts into the registration database.
