Chapter 2: The Apocalypse Project
"Damn, Xiao Tao, you almost told our team's secret just now!" After seeing the interview team's vehicle leave, Wei Tsai closed the door and shouted a little angrily in the hall. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"My pot, my pot, almost leaked, but fortunately you stopped it." Xiao Tao's face was embarrassed, the six members of the team swore to each other last month that they would never mention the team's secrets to anyone, and now during Xiao Tao's interview, he was so excited that he almost slipped out.
"Alas" Wei Zai sighed and leaned back on the sofa depressedly.
"Okay, don't be angry, Xiao Tao didn't mean it." When Meijia saw it, she hurriedly walked over and sat next to Wei Zai, and grabbed Wei Zai's cheek with her right hand, teasing him.
"Why don't you go down below and see the results now?" Aaron suggested, relieving the awkward atmosphere.
"Let's go, I want to see it too, I can't wait." Mei Jia said as she grabbed Wei Zai's arm and dragged her into the large study on the first floor. Ah Long, Sao Zhu, Gu Hang and Xiao Tao also followed.
The whole bookshelf is elegant and retro, made of dark brown solid wood, which is very high-end. The bookshelves are full of all kinds of famous books and encyclopedias, and they don't seem to be anything special.
Meijia walked straight to the end of the second-tier bookshelf, holding the penultimate book in her right hand, the book looked not very different from a distance, but if you looked closely, you would find that the book was actually carved out of marble, it was a stone book, and there was a mechanism connected to the stone book.
With a few mechanical sounds in the bookshelf, the bookshelf is like a huge double-open wooden door, divided into two from the middle, slowly moving to the left and right, and a silver-white anti-theft electronic door is gradually revealed in the middle, except for an embedded combination lock, there is nothing else on the door.
"Brother, press it quickly." Meijia said impatiently.
Sao Pig nodded, after digging his hand deep into the hidden password panel, he pressed a number, took a few steps back, and stood aside, Meijia followed, pressed a number, stood aside, Ah Long, Gu Hang, and Xiao Tao also followed closely after pressing a password number, and fought next to them, Wei Zai was the last to step forward and press the last number.
The electronic door "bang", opened, the basement lights also illuminated, the bright and spacious basement was empty, only the center of the basement placed a transparent chassis and a huge wooden table, a layer of moisture-proof carpet under the wooden table, the wooden table except an electronic display screen and a keyboard is nothing else, the transparent chassis next to the wooden table is very modern, surrounded by a joint diamond frame with tempered glass protection, surrounded by six large locks fixed on the ground, dark blue alloy steel frame engraved on a few Chinese - Apocalypse.
With a multi-million dollar cost, a turbine-like design, four sets of top-level processors working together, a floating-point computing power of 100 million times per second, and a storage capacity of more than one million bits, this Apocalypse is a well-deserved small supercomputer.
Why is the multi-million dollar "Apocalypse" placed in this basement? And how does it relate to the upcoming esports journey of the king team? It all started seven years ago.
Seven years ago, six students from the same college entrance examination team were admitted to a well-known university of electronic science and technology in the coastal area of China and entered the Department of Electronic Engineering.
In the past four years, the six members of the King's team have not only become friends, but also achieved good results in their studies and e-sports. Three years ago, after graduating from university, the six of them continued their postgraduate studies, each of which chose a different graduate major:
Xiao Tao is learning information security and technology, to put it simply, to maintain the electronic information security of the government, enterprises, and individuals, proficient in electronic defense, and mastering electronic infiltration technology. Xiao Tao, who has admired Chinese celebrities since he was a child, has had the dream of becoming a hacker since junior high school, and now he has been paved for four years and strengthened in three years, and Xiao Tao has become a well-known hacker in the industry.
Gu Hang is learning software programming, when he took advantage of the programming enthusiasm to make a lot of money after his studies, after graduating from graduate school, he found that programmers are now as many as a cow, and the salary level is not as good as before, but fortunately, after seven years of solid study, it is also a craft.
Aaron is learning circuits and systems, and the popular point is to install computers, processors, circuit boards, power supplies, and various miscellaneous electronic devices are installed together, which seems simple and ordinary, and there are many doorways, this small supercomputer worth millions "Apocalypse" is from the hands of Aaron, which is not something that ordinary computer city staff can complete.
Sao Pig is studying microelectronics, as the name suggests, the major is mainly dedicated to micro electronic components or electronic devices, which have a wide range, Sao Pig focuses on micro electronic devices, his graduation project is a self-designed and developed micro in-ear headphones, this headset is only the size of a watermelon seed, very hidden.
Meijia learned electronic image technology and analysis, simply put, through video clips, picture editing, the use of professional software and mathematical models, to process and analyze video content, so as to summarize and summarize the required information. The world's top leagues and top sports clubs are already using this technology to train players and study opponents' sports preferences and tactics.
Wei Zai's specialty is big data modeling and analysis, and with the increasing globalization and commodity circulation, this major is also extremely popular. It is to co-ordinate and use tens of thousands, or even hundreds of millions of data resources, through mathematical models, software analysis and planning, etc., to find the behavior habits and life preferences of the target individual or group.
The six members of the King's Squad have different specialties, but what does this have to do with Overwatch Competitive and the supercomputer "Apocalypse"?
A month ago, after being lucky enough to enter the first Overwatch Super League, the Kings team has been struggling with the lack of a tactical coach. In today's competitive esports sport, a tactical coach can not only lay out the right tactics for the team, but also analyze the opponent's tactics using video clips. In many giant e-sports clubs, there are even as many as seven or eight coaches, and some top coaches even earn more than one million dollars a year, which is almost impossible for the king team to pay.
On the night after he was confirmed to participate in the first Super League, Wei Tsai came up with the "Apocalypse Project", and after thinking about it repeatedly, he discussed it with the other five players, and everyone hit it off and started the "Apocalypse Project".
In the past month, Sao Pig first used the mortgage of 5 million from the villa left by his parents, and with this money, Aaron purchased advanced server groups, super power supplies, distributed water cooling systems, etc., and after Aaron built this "Apocalypse", the funds have been almost spent, and a week has passed. If the "Apocalypse" built by Ah Long is the solid foundation of the entire "Apocalypse Project", then Wei Zai, Gu Hang, Mei Jia, and Xiao Tao are the four people who installed a steel skeleton on this building and endowed it with an inner soul.
In the two weeks that Aaron built this "Apocalypse", Wei Zai, Gu Hang, Mei Jia, and Xiao Tao also used their time to develop three super systems: "Gravedigger", "Spiritualist", and "Hall of the Dead".
Who cares how much Warrior 76 played in that lost game ten days ago? Who remembers how much team healing the DJ contributed to the game before yesterday when the ladder was promoted? In hundreds of rounds of battles for each player, countless heroes were selected and many wonderful operations were played. These hundreds of millions of data units after the accumulation of averages, fragments, and operations are like dead corpses, thrown into the deep sea of memory by players, and buried in the deserted "data graveyard" by the official server.
The "gravedigger" system will.
This super system developed by Wei Zai and the four people found the backdoor of the server vulnerability through Xiaotao's hacking technology. Like a "gravedigger", come to the vast and boundless "data cemetery". If each player has his own "graveyard" in this boundless "data graveyard", then every game played is a grave in this "graveyard", and all the data of the player in this game constitutes a "data corpse"
First of all, these "gravediggers" will automatically filter out part of the "cemetery" according to the set conditions, and then they will dig up the grave of a "large cemetery" in an orderly manner, and then the gravedigger will "disguise", and then completely copy the "data cadre" that has been buried in the ground for a long time, and then come out of the back door of the loophole, come back through the data network, and return to the "apocalypse".
If the floating-point computing power once per second represents a "gravedigger", then this "Apocalypse" with a floating-point computing power of 100 million times per second can send up to 100 million "gravediggers" at the same time. Of course, having said that, if the "Apocalypse" sends hundreds of millions of "gravediggers" through the loophole back door at the same time, then it is only a matter of time before the "gravediggers" are discovered by the "grave keepers" in the "data graveyard".
It's like if you go to a nearby restaurant every day and take a toothpick and leave, and the boss doesn't care, but if you break into the kitchen of the restaurant, carry the pot of stir-frying and run out, then the boss can chase you for eighteen miles with a kitchen knife.
