Chapter 505: Blizzard (Part II)

"How?" Back at the hotel in the evening, Yang Yiwei asked curiously, got the client of the World of Warcraft, Xiaoxi must be eager to calculate, it is definitely impossible to wait until the evening, so Yang Yiwei is more curious, the World of Warcraft is known as the most balanced game in the outside world, but I don't know what is the evaluation of Xiaoxi here? Although Yang Yiwei thinks it is possible to exchange the evaluation back, it may be two words.

"Garbage." The evaluation is over, but it is only in exchange for two evaluations that are definitely not good. "How?" Yang Yiwei is not as serious as Enxiaoxi, the gap between the scientific and technological strength of the two sides is there, so let's listen to the specific evaluation.

"I calculated that the entire client was full of 1,203 bugs, 177 data imbalances, and 3,245 data errors, and the optimization rate was 84 percent, so if I optimized it, I could make the size of this client shrink to 74 percent." Konishi said quickly.

There are so many bugs, Yang Yiwei didn't expect it, more than 1000 bugs, but Yang Yiwei is not surprised, after all, BUGs are almost impossible to eliminate, because some BUGs are even if you know the way, there is no way to achieve the technique, as for whether Xiaoxi can achieve it, Yang Yiwei doesn't know, and among the more than 1000 BUGs that have an impact on the game, I don't know how many of them, but it's certainly not all.

As for data errors, it's even more, after all, this thing, it is possible that a thing with a wrong name is a data error. "Can you fix it?" Yang Yiwei asked quickly.

"Of course, it's not a problem to fix these things, in fact, this game can only be said to be average, I didn't know about this aspect before, I heard that this is the most fun game on the planet, and now it seems to be average. About 30% of the skills in this are actually completely useless, according to my calculations, these 30% of the skills can be streamlined and added to other skills, not only to enrich the playability, but even to make the game more interesting, a lot of operations or PK methods that you haven't thought of can be done. Konishi shook his head.

"Then I'll leave this to you, and tomorrow I'll sort out all the data for these bugs, and then I'll give it to them, so that they can have some confidence in our supercomputer, so that they can do it." Titan's R&D efforts will speed things up. Yang Yiwei thought for a while.

"Well, if you're willing to hand over this research and development work to me, at most half a year, I promise to give you a pretty good game, far more than all the games in the world." Konishi said with a grin.

"I'm sure you'll be able to sit down. But it is estimated that there are no fewer computers that can play this game. Yang Yiwei rolled his eyes. It's impossible to hand it over to Konishi, but let these R&D personnel at Blizzard know how powerful Konishi is. When the time comes, some steps of the Titan's research and development will come directly to Konishi to calculate. That's a huge time saver. There is also the design of the art, in fact, the art of a game sometimes takes up most of the time.

"Okay, I'll leave this job to me, tomorrow I can give you the optimized client, and then list all the bug information and data error information." Konishi shrugged.

"By the way, I forgot to ask you. In terms of this game, if you calculate the amount of online games in the World of Warcraft in the whole world, so many players have joined in, can the brain computing power of ordinary mechanical creatures withstand it? Can so much data processing reflect that? "That's the most important thing.

"I did the math. This kind of data processing is more cost-effective to transform the brain of the blue whale, and it is best to have one more mechanical dog to cooperate with the processing, in this way, so much data is enough to process, you can rest assured, and the computing power is definitely beyond your imagination, and the energy consumption may be relatively large, if there are so many people all the time, the energy consumption of these two mechanical creatures will exceed 50,000 points of energy every day. Xiaoxi roughly calculated, and then told Yang Yiwei an answer.

It's only 50,000 points, it's drizzling, and now the biotransformation instrument is being taken by a mechanical blue whale and begins to synthesize energy frantically at the bottom of the sea, with an energy reserve of up to 200 million points per month, 50,000 points, and only 1.5 million a month, this energy Yang Yiwei can fully bear.

"But in a month's time, according to my calculations, we can only meet the needs of Europe, Asia, and North America, Oceania and South Asia, and other places can not be covered by the network temporarily, and at the same time, the energy consumption per month will be about 100 million, and if the world is covered in the future, the energy consumption will reach almost 120 million." Konishi added.

120 million, the remaining 80 million, if the power expands the production capacity, the efficiency of synthetic energy will increase very quickly, and after more than 2 months to complete the layout of the network, it is estimated that the production capacity of synthetic energy will reach 300 million per month.

This is acceptable, the benefits brought by a network are far greater than the benefits brought by the artificial island of Diaoyu Island, and the artificial island is more beneficial to the country, but not much to the Starfall Group. So Yang Yiwei is not in a hurry, besides, his strength is too weak now, and he can't do things casually in that place, if he does things too early, it will not be good if the Japanese dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, not to mention that Guam is not far away, and the United States cannot sit idly by.

The next day, Yang Yiwei went to Blizzard's headquarters again, but this time Yang Yiwei didn't just visit, handed Mike a mobile hard disk to the data listed by Xiaoxi, and saw Mike's suspicious gaze, Yang Yiwei said with a smile: "That's the case, the data in this is last night after our group's supercomputer analyzed the source code of the entire client, not only the size of the client was optimized, but also some bugs and data errors were found." You can have someone from the World of Warcraft team come here and test these bugs. ”

BUG？ Every game has bugs, and the World of Warcraft is no exception, but the bugs that were calculated in one night, and they were completed by the computer, although I don't know how the supercomputer of the head office of Ludao was calculated, but since Yang Yiwei dared to take it out, it proved that this optimization and BUG should indeed exist.

Mike didn't dare to slack off, he called the crab directly, and then told the crab what Yang Yiwei said, with the shock that Yang Yiwei threw out yesterday, the crab didn't dare to underestimate the supercomputer of the head office, and even this kind of server that is impossible for all companies in the world can be studied, and this supercomputer is naturally outstanding.

Xiaoxi listed all the BUG information, in fact, when the crab took it back and opened the hard drive, he was a little dizzy, more than 1000 BUGS? How is this possible! But the fact is here, and each bug is listed behind the detailed data, and the crab does not dare to slack off, he immediately recruits all the people under his command to test these bugs first.

BUG TESTING IS VERY SIMPLE, BECAUSE KONISHI HAS LISTED ALL THE WAYS IN WHICH THESE BUGS ARE FORMED HERE, AND THEY JUST NEED TO DO IT, BUT EVEN SO, MORE THAN 1,000 BUGS ARE ENOUGH FOR THEM TO TEST FOR SEVERAL DAYS. In fact, when it was noon, after the crab took his own people to test the top 40 bugs, he knew that the rest of the bugs could not be fake.

These bugs can be tested, although many bugs do not affect the use of the game, but bugs are bugs. This supercomputer is too powerful, and what surprises the crab even more is that the game's client has shrunk the data that is about close to 3G. And when they played this new client, they found that the new client is not only those computers with more optimized and realistic scenery, but even computers with the same performance, when running this new client, not only the running speed is faster, but also the performance has been improved when passing the map and fighting.

All in all, awesome don't explain! When the crab told Mike about the test results of the new client, as well as the results of those bugs and other tests, Mike was also stunned. No wonder his big boss dares to say that the help of the Starfall Group is something that Vivendi has no way to give to Blizzard Entertainment, and this supercomputer alone is undoubtedly huge for the development of the entire game!

As we all know, balance is the most important thing to pay attention to in the writing process of a game, even if you add a small state, or even a small state with only 1 continuous damage, you need to calculate whether it has an impact on the balance of the whole game. And now, if this supercomputer can complete the balance calculation of the already huge client in the Warcraft world in just one night, then the help for the development of new games can no longer be described as enormous.

Now all they need to do is test, and many of the more than 40 bugs that Crab tested this morning are balance bugs, and Crab has personally verified the existence of these bugs. Mr. Yang spent a week in the United States, but after three days in Blizzard, Mr. Yang joined Mr. Xu and went to Microsoft's headquarters in Redmond, Washington.

The acquisition of Blizzard has not yet been announced, in fact, Yang Yiwei underestimated the persistence of these crazy people, originally so many BUGs took at least a week to complete the test, but in fact, when Yang Yiwei left, these BUGS had already been tested, and the crabs not only pulled Mike and others to test, but even all the people on the Titan test team were pulled over, after all, they temporarily stopped the work in their hands.

Most of these bugs turned out to be valid, and the new optimized client proved to be all the existing bugs gone. Even Konishi solved a problem that all agents needed to solve...... Translation problem,The new client comes with an automatic translation software inside,The player himself can convert the client into a variety of languages,Crab and others have tested,These translations are absolutely accurate,There are no grammatical errors。 The crab didn't know what to say, to paraphrase the sentence in the mongoose documentary filmed by BBS, the crab and his friends were stunned, and there was only one impression left of the supercomputer of the Starfall Group - powerful! (To be continued.) )
