The 140th help-seeker and rebel

In the background of the plot of "The Road to Survival", six large spherical objects hit the earth, and the earth ushered in a new era of apocalyptic invasion. The human forces are divided into three, and some of the human beings are desperate for the future and surrender to the foreign vanguard army, which is called the Adventist faction; Some human beings want to form an alliance with enemy countries in foreign lands and use their super technology to save humanity, which is called the help-seekers; Some human beings feel that they are really strong when they are strong, and they advocate the introduction of super technology with me as the main force and the expulsion of foreign invasion troops, which is called a rebel.

In the setting, the Frontier and the Advent are the antagonists, and the player can choose between the Helpers and the Rebels.

In the first act of "The Road to Survival", in order to completely conquer the earth, the foreign land ordered the advent faction to spend all its funds and resources to build a chrono teleportation fortress. The Adventists had no time to pursue and suppress the help-seekers and the rebels, the external pressure of the help-seekers and the rebels disappeared, and the internal contradictions became more and more intense. The united front against the exotic land to recover the earth is collapsing, and the helpers and rebels start a civil war.

The first confrontation between the helpers and the rebels was in Rio, Brazil, South America, which was also the first large map of The Road to Survival.

Considering the entertainment, the location of the confrontation between the help-seekers and the rebels who occasionally cooperate and occasionally confront, "The Road to Survival" is deliberately chosen in well-known cities in various countries. Rio de Janeiro is a big map, Uruguay is a small map, Buenos Aires, Argentina is a big map, Chile, Peru, El Valdor, etc. are small maps, and Cartagena, Colombia is a big map. Players are not familiar with the cities of South American countries, and are accustomed to referring to different maps by country, and the three large maps of Brazil, Argentina, and Colombia are especially famous.

Wei Dongsheng activated the background permissions and marked the accounts of Zeng Liqing and others with internal testing permissions.

Click on the Balanced Competitive option that will only appear in the closed beta client and the game will start downloading the update.

Although torrenting artifact is a non-profit free software, Spring and Autumn has not ignored its development, but will treat it as a basic Internet service like water and electricity. Considering that there is no longer a need for gimmicks, and considering that the BitTorrent protocol has been rotten, the torrent download artifact quietly deleted the adjective "artifact" a few months ago, and changed it to a neutral torrent download (SeedDon).

The download technology of torrenting is not limited to torrenting clients, and various services in Spring and Autumn will more or less invoke the thread analysis of torrenting. For example, the simplest optimization is assumed that the household bandwidth is 4M, the maximum download speed is 512K, and the router is connected to four computers indoors. Four computers all want to download "Road to Survival", if the previous download mechanism, four computers download the same data at the same time, the maximum download speed will change from 512K to 128K, which meaninglessly reduces efficiency. The torrenting module, which analyzes that four computers are under one router, will use the router as the benchmark to download data externally, and transfer files to each other inside the router, making perfect use of the 512K maximum download speed limit to achieve a four-fold more efficient user experience.

Of course, this is only an ideal situation, and the actual processing is actually very complicated.

Despite this, the efficiency of downloading the same data under the same router and the same LAN is much higher than that of meaningless repeated downloads of other download software.

It's such a small technology, Tencent's technicians just can't do it.

Extending to the network speed occupation of online games, the scene that can be done at 5Kbps in "Spring and Autumn of the Ten Kingdoms", and the "QQ Fantasy Country" produced by Tencent, are helpless at 80Kbps. With the same network transmission speed, "Spring and Autumn of the Ten Kingdoms", "Dancing Forest Mengzhu" and "The Road to Survival" produced by Spring and Autumn are always able to handle more orders than "QQ Fantasy Country". Because of this, "The Road to Survival" can run smoothly most of the time, but "QQ Fantasy Country" is often stuck.

In this kind of experience, players may only be able to roughly evaluate the high technical level of Spring and Autumn Software, but the technical personnel can feel the gap between it and Spring and Autumn Software, and this kind of optimization is really not something you can optimize if you want to.

The more they understand the technology behind online games, the more ashamed Zeng Liqing and others are of Tencent's recklessness.

Perhaps, Ma Huateng is right. With continuous practice and accumulation, the technical background has been improved to a certain extent, and then Tencent can definitely become an online game operator with the thinking of making products. Unfortunately, Tencent has no time to slowly accumulate technology. Shareholders are not willing to wait, MIH is not willing to wait, and Tencent management is not willing to wait. Have tasted the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and the delicacies of the mountains and seas are at your fingertips there, how many people are willing to climb the snow-capped mountains and cross the grassland to temper themselves?

The Balanced Competitive Edition was updated soon, and Wei Dongsheng and Zeng Liqing logged in to the game one after another. Wei Dongsheng is slightly familiar with the setting of the Balanced Competitive Edition, and took the initiative to introduce: "The Balanced Competitive Edition is temporarily only open to the Rio map in Brazil, and the Battle Mode is temporarily open to the Limited Edition, Free Edition, and Melee Edition. The Limited Edition, based on balance considerations, allows players to freely set weapon caps, such as banning snipers, banning heavy weapons, banning bombs, banning body armor, banning paid equipment, banning some paid equipment, and so on. The free version is a competitive version of the entertainment version, and there is no artificial upper limit. The melee version is subdivided into free melee and limited melee battles, and in addition to player confrontation, NPC monsters are added to increase variables. ”

Wei Dongsheng set up a room and cut into a certain map: "Let's try the 3VS3 mini-map of the Rio Gangsters, I chose the free mode from scratch. ”

Zeng Liqing is not familiar with the balanced competitive version of the closed beta: "What does it mean to start from zero?" ”

Wei Dongsheng explained: "Starting from zero means that the player comes to this map with his bare hands and grabs the NPC or the opponent's guns, weapons, and bullets in order to get mixed up; If you are killed by an NPC or an opponent, you will lose all your weapons and equipment and start all over again. ”

Zeng Liqing: "It's a bit difficult. ”

Wei Dongsheng: "Yes, this mode was originally intended for high-end players. However, whether it will be officially launched remains to be determined by the internal test operation. ”

The names of the games are all English nicknames in reality, Wei Dongsheng is Franco, Zeng Liqing is Kney, Zhang Zhidong is Tony, Xu Chenye is Daniel, and Chen Yidan is Charles. 3VS3 map, six people can start, Wei Dongsheng did not ask Zeng Liqing to find another person, and directly chose automatic pairing: "The number of people in the internal test is small, in order to ensure that the internal test players can play the game in real time, Spring and Autumn arranged some sparring partners and robot players. If there is no successful match after a thirty-second wait, a sparring partner or robot will be randomly assigned. ”

Sparring, Zeng Liqing and others understood. Playing together, chatting, and sparring are the characteristics of the beginning of the Internet Hongmeng. At the beginning of Lianzhong, due to the relatively small number of users, in order to retain users, Bao Yueqiao and others personally went into battle to play; The same is true of Tencent's QQ, Zeng Liqing, Ma Huateng, etc., have anonymously chatted with new users who have visited by chance.

However, the robot, Zeng Liqing didn't understand.

Zeng Liqing questioned: "When the robot plays with it, its behavior pattern is so stiff, it will be discovered by players." ”

Wei Dongsheng didn't explain: "Let's try it once first." ”

As he spoke, he was matched with a player named "A Bottle of Pure Water".

Randomly assigned, Wei Dongsheng, Zhang Zhidong, and Xu Chenye were divided into a group, and Zeng Liqing, Chen Yidan, and "a bottle of pure water" were assigned together.

The five of them sit together, not playing games for the sake of playing games, so they have a weak sense of competition and a slow pace, controlling the characters to find weapons while communicating leisurely. Just a moment after the start of the game, the system suddenly refreshed a red message: "Player Tony robbed a pedestrian and resisted arrest, and was killed on the spot by the Rio Security Army." A search of Tony's body resulted in the vigilante finding the rebel Franco logo, which was listed as the subject of investigation by the vigilante. ”

Tony is Zhang Zhidong.

Zhang Zhidong replied to Wei Dongsheng and Xu Chenye embarrassedly: "I saw an NPC holding a fruit knife in his hand and snatching it to use as a weapon. Before he could figure out what was going on, he was killed by the puppet army. ”

The Humans who surrendered to the Exotic Vanguard were the strongest, and the Brazilian regime was under their control. The so-called vigilante army, after the player substitutes for the help-seeking faction and the rebel camp, habitually call them pseudo-army, and there is no burden to kill. The reason why the government forces are portrayed as puppet armies that surrender to foreign lands is actually a trick by Spring and Autumn Software in order to pass the censorship, if the neutral and harmless police are killed, they will definitely be ordered to be deleted by the relevant departments; The same government forces have molded them into anti-human puppet armies, and the player's resistance has more positive meanings.

Wei Dongsheng didn't care about winning or losing, and naturally he didn't care about Zhang Zhidong's food delivery, so he briefly introduced: "In this map, there are seven puppet soldiers and thirty-six gangsters. Gangsters have regional characteristics, and if they step into their territory, they have a chance to be attacked; The puppet army has the characteristics of maintaining law and order and hunting down helpers and rebels, and the player has a chance to be killed on the spot by the puppet army when they pick up a weapon. We have to fight each other, but we also have to fight with puppet armies and gangsters. ”

Zhang Zhidong: "I see, we pulled out the nails of the puppet army in advance. ”

Wei Dongsheng: "Let's find a weapon first, to the right of the spawn point is a temporarily unguarded gangster stronghold, which has weapons inside." ”

Zeng Liqing on the other side immediately retorted dissatisfiedly: "You guys are cheating." ”

Wei Dongsheng: "It's the same over there, there are also gangster strongholds on the right side that are temporarily unguarded. Although it is said to be a zero starting point, it is also necessary to consider that the player's patience is very limited, and Spring and Autumn Software has prepared basic weapons. ”

Zeng Liqing suddenly laughed and said: "The 'bottle of pure water' on our side is an old player, and he has already beckoned us to go and get weapons." ”

Before Zeng Liqing's voice fell, the system refreshed a red font message: "The player kills the police officer P4 with a bottle of pure water, and the Rio security maintenance army has noticed the existence of the helpers and rebels and started patrolling the whole city." ”

After the security army patrols the whole city, the difficulty coefficient rises sharply, and the player is controlling the character to move forward cautiously, and the left, right, and rear suddenly jump out of the security maintenance army to attack and kill. In just five minutes, Zhang Zhidong and Xu Chenye were shot dead six times by the security maintenance army.
