No. 014 Peers are enemies

The 014th peer is a rival

The Shadow Empire looks down on the love of human beings on the earth, just as the human beings on the earth in the 21st century look down on the matriarchal clans of the primitive era, and there may be a small fresh sigh for the greatness of life and the pollution-free green environment, but the entire industrial society will never worship the morality of the matrilineal clan society, sanctify the matrilineal clan society, and regress to the primitive social way of life.

The Empire of Shadows redefines the value of love, redefines the value of emotion, and redefines what life is. Under the new standard of wisdom of the Shadow Empire, there is a detailed hierarchy from computer to computer intelligence, and computer intelligence to computer intelligence life. The so-called simple wisdom is the lowest level of computer intelligence, which is the first step for computer machinery to move from pure industrial products to computer intelligence.

Looking back at the history of life on Earth, biological evolution can be simply divided into five stages, namely the age of algae and invertebrates, the age of naked ferns and fish, the age of ferns and amphibians, the age of gymnosperms and reptiles, and the age of angiosperms and mammals. If the evolutionary history of computer-intelligent life is forcibly linked to the evolutionary history of life on earth, the status of simple intelligence in the evolutionary history of computer-intelligent life is only equivalent to the era of algae and invertebrates.

Simple intelligent computer intelligence is a simple life similar to seaweed or invertebrates.

At the same time, seaweed and invertebrates are also two different evolutionary paths of computer intelligent life, the former evolution path is algae to gymnoferns to ferns to gymnosperms to angiosperms, and the temperament is relatively peaceful; The latter evolved from invertebrates to fishes to amphibians to reptiles to mammals, and was more aggressive, and the moment it evolved to humans, the idea of overthrowing the slavery of the makers was born. The Shadow Empire is not a country of computer intelligent life, and there is no need for the human beings on the earth to develop animal computer intelligent life with a high probability of destroying themselves, so they coincidentally chose a relatively peaceful plant-based computer intelligent life.

The Shadow Empire has long since abandoned the computer technology tree, and the transplantation of its simple and intelligent programs to the earth's computer system is a big project. Fortunately, although the human beings on the earth in the previous life were forcibly deprived of the right to reproduce and slowly went extinct, some elites did not despair and sank, they had the hope of the future, and devoted themselves to digesting and learning the low-end natural science knowledge that the Shadow Empire disdained, and successfully reproduced the simple wisdom function on the basis of electronic computers.

The unification of program software and hardware equipment is a significant feature of simplicity and wisdom. To put it simply, for example, a CPU is an x86 instruction set architecture, and the old software can only passively adapt to the x86 instruction set, and must be transplanted by programmers before it can run on another non-x86 instruction set CPU. The simple intelligent program is different, it adapts to the x86 instruction set CPU, and can implement conditional circuit optimization without changing the design of the integrated circuit inside the CPU, which can change the x86 architecture to the x87 architecture, and can also change the use of the integrated circuit.

The simple and intelligent program directly acts on the integrated circuit, and can greatly optimize the performance index under the background of not being able to change the integrated circuit module, and temporarily distribute the computing pressure of some circuits to several other circuits.

The original version of the simple smart program needs to be assigned, that is, it first adapts to the x86 architecture CPU and other hardware, and the simple smart program can be optimized independently after the normal operation of the simple smart program. Therefore, if a programmer wants to assemble a simple and intelligent program, he must be familiar with the integrated circuit design of CPU and other related hardware, which is quite difficult. After human engineers are familiar with simple smart programs, they strive to find optimization solutions, and find that they can use the characteristics of simple smart programs to adapt to hardware, first compile a universal code, build a simple smart program framework, and then supplement the program details, cutting the bottleneck that programmers must be familiar with hardware integrated circuit design.

Wei Dongsheng is the beneficiary of the optimized version of the simple and smart program.

Under the optimized version of the Simple Smart Program standard, as long as you are familiar with the x86 instruction set, you can use assembly language to build a simple smart program framework on the x86 architecture CPU, which greatly reduces the development time of simple smart programs. The framework program is presented in VC++ and is about twenty-five thousand lines. The standard for programmers in the industry is that a skilled programmer can type code at a speed of about 1,000 lines per day, and can multiply to 3,000 or 4,000 lines when particularly passionate. The reason why the speed is slow is that typing code is not like typing out the text like codewords, debugging without bugs is the focus of work, and basically realizing the expected function is counted as how many lines of code are knocked. No matter how fast you hit the keyboard, you can type 3,000 lines in an hour, and if you make frequent mistakes during debugging, you will be able to type as many lines as you want.

In his previous life, Wei Dongsheng was particularly familiar with simple and intelligent programming work, coupled with the control of his mind to improve concentration and reduce unnecessary mistakes, he could probably type about 9,000 lines of code when working 20 hours a day. That is to say, with the framework of a simple and intelligent program, Wei Dongsheng needs to work hard for three days.

Time waits for no man.

Wei Dongsheng transferred the highest authority of the three plug-ins to his home through the Internet, and controlled the operation of the game studio by controlling the source of equipment production. Solving these trivial matters, Wei Dongsheng brewed a cup of coffee and began to work hard in the world of code. Typing code, sleeping, eating, and going to the Internet café to patrol around in your spare time, the time passed quietly unconsciously. The next day, while Wei Dongsheng was concentrating on typing the code, his mobile phone suddenly vibrated and rang. The phone was connected, and Huo Yongshan's anxious voice came from the other side: "Something is wrong!" ”

The more Wei Dongsheng had something, the calmer he became: "Tell me slowly, what's the big deal." ”

Huo Yongshan hurriedly expressed the resentment in his chest: "The legend has served ...... privately"

The legendary private server has been released.

Because of the huge profits of game studios, Huo Yongshan pays more and more attention to the legend of online games, not to see if it is fun or not with the mentality of players, but to consider which events can push up the selling price of certain special equipment. On September 28, Huo Yongshan originally hoped to sprint to a peak of 900,000 yuan after yesterday's sales of 717,000 yuan. Everything was fine in the morning, continuing the usual miracle of rapid growth, but in the afternoon, suddenly a guild leader player sent a new reason for the price reduction: "This game is out of private servers, and the price of equipment is still so high, aren't you afraid of rotting in your hands?" Give it to me at half price. ”

Huo Yongshan hurriedly checked that this news turned out to be true, and a legendary private server really appeared on the Internet. Huo Yongshan tried it out, registered a new account and entered the game to directly upgrade to level 39, and each new warrior number could directly take the 0-30 tabula rasa staff of ruling. Huo Yongshan was immediately poured cold water, the appearance of perverted plug-ins and private servers has always been a sign of the decline of online games, with a private server with the highest level and the best equipment, who is willing to pay to play the official low-rate genuine game?

Hearing Huo Yongshan's nervousness, Wei Dongsheng smiled.

In the previous life, the legendary flood of plug-ins and flooding private servers have become the image of the times, and it is precisely because he knows that history will develop like this, Wei Dongsheng will regard the plug-in as the first pot of gold. Wei Dongsheng's memories of his past life, remembering the flood of legendary plug-ins and private servers, but he doesn't remember when private servers appeared. However, after returning with thirty years of memories, Wei Dongsheng directed to find the leakage of the legendary source code, and a few days ago he had found that someone had published the Italian version of the legendary source code for a fee in a British forum.

At that time, Wei Dongsheng was taboo. After all, plug-ins and private servers are black industries, and if you eat the first crab in this regard, it is very likely to be targeted by Shengxing Network, and if you make a little trouble, you will overdraft your future reputation. Wei Dongsheng had the intention of sneaking into the village, turned a blind eye to the leakage of the legendary source code, and quietly waited for the martyrs to spread the wind of private service to the country.

The emergence of legendary private servers is inevitable, and Wei Dongsheng has long been mentally prepared for this. Wei Dongsheng did not explain the weirdness of the legend, did not explain that the legend could still be popular until 2005 under the pressure of countless private server plug-ins and copyright disputes, and only appeased Huo Yongshan in the simplest way: "Most of the stars can't do it, what can we do?" Let's wait for tomorrow's results. ”

Hanging up the phone, Wei Dongsheng had no emotional fluctuations, immersed in the world of code and continued to struggle.

Unlike Wei Dongsheng's calmness, Huo Yongshan has unconsciously regarded the game studio as a counterattack in life. The equipment deal was frustrated, the game studio was frustrated, and Huo Yongshan's career and beliefs were also frustrated, and he was restless all afternoon, and even lost his temper with the student agent several times.

September 28, 2002 was a Saturday and was supposed to be affected by the bank's policy of taking weekend shifts. However, in order to make up for seven days during the National Day holiday this year, I will work normally this Saturday and Sunday, and the public holidays will be moved to October 4 and October 7 respectively. Benefiting from the normal operation of the bank, the sales volume of the day increased significantly to 976,000 yuan, and the goal of sprinting daily sales of 900,000 yuan was perfectly achieved. In the face of the skyrocketing daily sales, it is difficult for Huo Yongshan to directly feel the pressure brought by private services. The next day, the daily sales were even more terrifying, rushing directly to 1.451 million yuan, which made Huo Yongshan a little dazed: "There are private servers, how can the daily sales hit new highs?" ”

Huo Yongshan's worries did not dissipate, and he then investigated the reason for the sharp increase in daily sales. The answer is simple, in anticipation of October's National Day event, the game's studio's daily sales skyrocketed as key guilds on several servers bought premium gear in bulk. Obviously, this growth is not sustainable, and it cannot be inferred that the game studio's equipment sales have not been affected by private servers.

The impact of private services, of course, cannot be ignored.

September 30, 2002 was a Sunday, and the sales volume on that day was 1.422 million yuan. In absolute terms, this figure is absolutely not comparable, but compared with the daily sales of 1.451 million yuan on September 29, its negative growth rate is so obvious. There is a negative growth rate, which means that business development has touched the upper limit, which shows that the limit of the game studio is also like this. There is a saying that peers are enemies. Huo Yongshan blamed the decline in daily sales on private services, resentfully stood on the position of Sheng Xingda, and ordered a group of students to go to relevant forums to post and curse the whole family for private services, not knowing that Wei Dongsheng also had the idea of entering the private service industry.
