Today is May 10, 2001, and Pokeni is scheduled to start at 0:00 a.m. on the 11th.

10 p.m. in the United States.

It's equivalent to 9 o'clock in the morning on the neon side.

On Pokeni's side, Ken Akanishi kept calling his colleagues in the United States to inquire about the situation, ready to provide remote consultation and technical support at any time, and he was so nervous that he was sweating profusely.

Qing Zhiyuan sat in the office, gossiping with Ken Akanishi and Shinji Mikami.

"President, I don't really understand." The new planner asked, "Why do you want to start the service at this time?" Although it's daytime on our side, isn't it already early in the morning on the side of the United States?

It's time for everyone to go to bed. ”

Qing Zhiyuan glanced up.

The new planning girl is called Yamashiro Rumi, with a bow tied on her head, wearing a Lolita costume, a standard two-dimensional otaku, as if she came out of a comic.

Qing Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly found that the dress of this sister paper was a bit similar to [Wumore Liuli].

By the way, Qing Zhiyuan thought that although the current royal CV of pokeni is still Mishi Kotono and Emi Hayashihara, it seems that it will not be long before Hanazawa Coriander will come out.

Maybe Coriander can continue to dub Lihua in "Angel Beats" at that time.

According to what Ma Zhizhun said in his previous life, it was:

Aside from coriander, he couldn't think of a second sound that would be suitable for Lihua.

The voice of coriander is also a must.

"President?"

Wugen Liuli called his name and called Qing Zhiyuan back from his contemplation.

"You don't understand," Qing Zhiyuan said lightly, "first take a steady hand, so as not to overcrowd the server." ”

"Huh?"

Sister paper hugged her body with her hand in surprise, as if she had heard some terrifying news.

"Will the server be overcrowded?"

"Of course," Ken Akanishi poured himself a cup of coffee and sat down peacefully, "The Sparrow Soul's server has been crowded several times before. ”

"Huh?!"

Rumi Yamashiro looked surprised, not even sure if they were joking.

I always feel a little scary.

But if it explodes, why isn't it in the news?

What kind of stirring news does this have to be?

Whether it's a real physical explosion, or a program form, I always feel like it's very topical.

"Well, don't worry too much."

Akanishi Ken smiled and comforted, "The explosion of the server is only because the number of players online at the same time is too large, which exceeds the pressure capacity of the server, so that the massive amount of transmitted information at the same time cannot be processed."

Thereupon...... Smack. ”

Ken Akanishi patted his head, stuck out his long tongue, and rolled his eyes.

"The server just hung up, and it was like someone fainting."

"Woo!"

Rumi Yamashiro let out a terrible cry, and the whole person took a step back in fright.

Qing Zhiyuan laughed from the side, but she wasn't sure if she was frightened by Akanishi's performance, or if she was really frightened by Akanishi's terrifying appearance.

If it is the former, it can be explained that Ken Akanishi has superb acting skills.

If it's the latter, it's a bit scary.

……

Seeing his sister's expression of being frightened again, Akanishi Ken enjoyed it a lot.

The new planning girl paper,The reaction is really cute.。

"So you get the idea, right?"

"Hmph...... Senior, you are good or bad. ”

Rumi Yamashiro clenched her right hand into a small fist on her chest and glared at Ken Akanishi complainingly.

"I didn't just come on the first day, so I know what it means."

"So, at this point, you just need to restart the server." Ken Akanishi concludes lightly, "As long as the data is restored to its pre-outage period, there is no problem."

However, it may not be possible to fully do this at the technical level.

If your computer crashes, some of your data will be lost.

So often in this case, our operation side will compensate the players to a certain extent.

Either send some dandelion beans or something.

Either that, you can just send some in-game items. ”

When Akanishi Ken said this, he smiled embarrassedly and scratched his bald head,

I'm sorry, maybe it's because the program ape has been working for a long time and his hair is falling out naturally, or maybe it's because he is tormented by Qing Zhiyuan's needs, and now Chixi Jian's hairline is very, very high.

So he simply shaved his head into a bald head.

On the contrary, I don't have to spend much time taking care of it, and my life is much more refreshing.

"So it's not a good thing that the server is overcrowded, or the server is down.

We're here to try to keep things like this to a minimum.

So after the accident, the company set up some more backup servers and regularly backed up the data.

This minimizes losses even if there are too many players online and the server goes down. ”

"Oh...... I see, Akasai's predecessor is worthy of being the boss of the program group, and I understood it at once after speaking. "Rumi Yamashiro owes seriously," Thank you very much, Akanishi's seniors for your guidance. ”

"Hehe, welcome to ask more questions in the future."

Akanishi smiled and seemed to be very useful to the newcomer's sycophants.

Especially if the other party is still a planner, the gold content of this sycophant is even more sufficient.

Usually Ken Akanishi is also tortured by Shinji Mikami, and it is really not easy to find that long-lost sense of accomplishment from the rookie planner at this time.

"So now you understand why it's open in the wee hours of the morning?" Qing Zhiyuan clasped his hands and looked at the newcomer's planning sister paper.

"Hmm. Probably understood. ”

Rumi Yamashiro showed a happy smile, "I chose to start the service in the early morning, because the number of people in this time period is relatively small, and everyone goes to bed, so even if something goes wrong, it won't affect it much."

There will not be a situation where the server is crowded as Akasai's predecessors said. ”

"yes, that's it."

Ken Akanishi gave her a thumbs up, "The main thing is that we are not sure how many users will log in, judging from the share of game downloads officially sold now, there are already more than 3 million copies."

Although this is not very likely,

If 3 million people poured in at the same time, it would be really fatal. ”

This is only the number of downloads in the United States region in the last 7 days, and Qingzhiyuan estimates that there will be more in the future, and once "Frontier Online" becomes popular, there will be more players who download it online.

Not to mention 3 million people, even if there is an influx of 300,000 people at the same time, it can't stand it.

"It's worthy of Akasai's predecessors, who thought about so much from the beginning, leaving enough room for the company's operation. Otherwise, if something happens, the colleagues over there in the United States will definitely die in a hurry. ”

Rumi Yamashiro smiled and admired, her eyes full of admiration for Ken Akanishi.

It seems that it is very reassuring to feel that there is a program ape god like him in the company.

Actually, she didn't know that the president who sat next to Ken Akanishi and chatted with him, and didn't seem to have much ability, was the real hidden boss.

Many of these server architecture contents are made by Qingzhiyuan.

And sometimes he looks at the code himself to address the problems and vulnerabilities that are bound to occur in advance.

The invisible boss is so low-key and unpretentious.

……

Shinji Mikami looked at this sister paper with some amusement, and the newcomer was really cute.

Well, that's just for this time.

Cherish the newcomers who just arrived in April, because in a few months, the newcomers will become the demons in the mouth of the programmed ape.

And the admiration of Akanishi Ken of the Yamashiro Liumei team has also appeared countless times in the eyes of the previous newcomers, and then disappeared countless times.

This may be a sadness, but it is also an inevitability.

Mikami was a little sympathetic to Akanishi.

"By the way," Akanishi added, "Of course, when the number of people reaches the limit of the number of servers carried, the server may be crowded, and I have set up a buffer pool for this, so it shouldn't be a big problem." ”

Buffer pool, for example, a server can accommodate 1000 players online at the same time, then when opening registration, 100 to 200 people will be divided into the buffer pool first, it seems that the registration line is 1000 people, but in fact only 800 people are allowed to register.

After that, the remaining number of people will be opened as needed.

"What do you mean by the number of people?" Qing Zhiyuan glared at Akanishi Ken fiercely, not very satisfied with his statement.

"Haha, haha, I mean ......"

Akanishi couldn't laugh or cry, and he felt the urge to pump his mouth.

"Of course our player numbers will explode, and it is impossible not to reach it."

"Hmph, that's pretty much it." Qing Zhiyuan let him go, bowing his head and drinking his coffee.

The planner looked at them with some amusement, thinking that this was really interesting to the boss.

Wow.

If it weren't for Akanishi's appearance being too stretched, what a harmonious and beautiful scene this would be.

Rumi Yamashiro looked at Qing Zhiyuan's eyes full of various meanings, all of them were little stars.

The president is really handsome, but it's a pity that he didn't match a boy who was also handsome.

I don't know why, when I was looked at by Yamashiro Liumei like this, Qing Zhiyuan's chrysanthemum tightened, and goosebumps all over his body rose.

"And," Ken Akanishi continued with his coffee as he continued the conversation, "once the number of people exceeds the load of the server, I will force some players offline first, so the server will definitely not go down, you can rest assured." ”

"You're so good."

Qing Zhiyuan gave him a thumbs up.

Akanishi Ken scratched his head embarrassedly, "I always feel weird that you always praise me like this, president." It doesn't seem to be true. ”

……

So this is the daily life of the bigwigs?

Yamashiro only arrived at the company in April this year, and the internship period has not yet ended, so naturally I don't know much about many internal situations.

When I graduated from university, I was able to get a pokeni appointment, but now I think about it, it's a bit incredible.

IN HER MIND, P CLUB IS A SACRED PLACE, ESPECIALLY FOR GAME-LOVING PLAYERS, POKENI HEADQUARTERS IS A HOLY PLACE.

It is a place where countless people want to come on pilgrimage.

And now, she is standing here, as if she were standing at the center of the universe.

Rumi Yamashiro is filled with endless pride.

Especially seeing so many gods who once only appeared on the news media and game production lists, there is really a wonderful feeling of being redeemed.

Or according to the Chinese cultivators, she is equivalent to a mortal who has ascended.

Sitting over there is the Mother of Pokémon, Lisa Asano and her colleagues.

The project team here is using GX28 as the code name for the time being, and I don't know what they are developing, but from her perspective, I can see the thin man with long flowing hair.

It's the author she looks forward to very much, Jun Asaeda.

On the other hand, there's a Void Abyss Gen-sensei who looks like a murderer.,But it's actually a very interesting personality.,Always get a lot of inspiration from chatting with him.。

And then in front of him is Shinji Mikami, the boss of the entire game department, who is also a legendary-level producer.

……

After arriving here, Rumi Yamashiro discovered that many things were different from what she imagined and knew in school.

Nao Mushroom turned out to be a cute boy.

Takeuchi is quite handsome.

Hidetaka Miyazaki was able to make such a difficult and maddening game, but he didn't expect that the real person was actually a social phobia......

Mika Ishino's seniors are too kind, right?

Yes......

Rumi Yamashiro held the coffee in her hand, and she was so happy that she was bubbling.

The only regret is -

Until now, Rumi Yamashiro hasn't seen the galgame supreme god she misses in her heart-

Mr. Tsubaki Furuhara.

It's really scary to say, she really hasn't even seen the shadow of Gu Yuan Tsubaki.

Isn't this guy too mysterious?

Could it be that Furuhara-sensei is a ninja?

……

The time is slowly approaching 0:00 a.m. in the United States, corresponding to 11 o'clock in the afternoon.

Several of the bigwigs also became nervous.

Qing Zhiyuan waited quietly, watching Akanishi Jian walk around restlessly.

"What are you doing?" Qing Zhiyuan drank him, "It's not a big deal, sit down." ”

Ken Akanishi took a few deep breaths and sat down.

"Didn't you say that there must be no problem with the server side you made? So what's there to be afraid of? Qing Zhiyuan drank coffee calmly, in obvious contrast to him and Shinji Mikami, "And it mainly depends on my colleagues in the United States to deal with it, we can only pay attention to it at most."

Actually, it doesn't help much. ”

Although Shinji Mikami was watching a movie on the computer next to him, Qing Zhiyuan found that his eyes were moving, but his brain was not.

The expressions on his face will not change with the change of the plot, and he will know that he is faking it at a glance.

Shinji Mikami is just trying his best to be calm, not wanting others to see the nervousness in his heart.

"Hey no, I'm still confident, but it's not good to say that there is such a thing as a program," Akanishi Ken admitted at this time, ready to leave a way back for himself, "No program ape in the world dares to guarantee that there are no bugs in what he writes, maybe he just didn't find it." ”

Qing Zhiyuan couldn't help but be a little funny.

Sometimes I think this guy with a high hairline is quite cute.

Qing Zhiyuan snorted lightly and said lightly, "Then wait until you find it and solve it." ”

This......

Akanishi let out a sigh in his heart.

It's easy to say, but it's the fact that the unknown is the real anxiety.

After about ten minutes, someone shouted: "President, it's 0:00 over there in the United States, and the server is open." ”

"Oh, good!"

Qing Zhiyuan got up from his chair and spilled his coffee.

This Nima ......

Ken Akanishi rolled his eyes in his heart, I thought the president was never nervous.
