An Expert Is actually By My Side

[Task: World of Warcraft players reach 10 million. 】

[Congratulations to the host for completing the task! 】

[Obtain: 3 memory fragments, a golden mission card. 】

When the World of Warcraft players exceeded 10 million, the light blue holographic window appeared in front of Hao Yun at the same time. Not surprisingly, he was probably the first person to know that the number of World of Warcraft online exceeded 10 million.

However, there is actually no difference.

Because soon, cheers like an earthquake resounded throughout the office area.

So before Hao Yun had time to confirm the reward for completing the system task, Li Zongzheng's excited shouts pulled him back from the illusion to reality.

"Mr. Hao! Ms. Hao!"

"I'm here, what are you shouting."

With an expression of joy on his face, Li Zongzheng held his shoulders with both hands and swayed back and forth, seeing that he had already lost his mind with excitement.

"The number of people online in World of Warcraft exceeded 10 million at the same time! Hahaha, we broke the record!"

And this is the result achieved in less than 10 minutes after the game was online!

Even if you look at the entire history of Renlian video games, you can't find such an amazing precedent.

Witnessing this moment with my own eyes, and it was a game I participated in development, no wonder Li Zongzheng was so excited.

In fact, it's not just Li Zongzheng, but the other executives in the office are the same.

Seeing Lao Liu flushed with excitement, Du Ziteng ran to the elevator and said that he was going downstairs to buy a bottle of champagne.

And the young artists from the art department all embraced excitedly.

Victory not only belongs to Warcraft, but also belongs to Yunmeng Game and all the players who love it.

They were not overwhelmed by the all-round suppression of the Sea Lion Group, but stood up in the face of difficulties and withstood the pressure from the giants.

"Okay, I see, you first let go of the hand holding my shoulder..."

At last he noticed that his actions were a little out of the ordinary, Li Zongzheng quickly withdrew his hand and scratched the back of his head embarrassedly.

"Ah, sorry, hehe."

Hey you are tall.

He murmured in his heart, but Hao Yun didn't blame him, but patted him on the shoulder encouragingly.

"Work hard, this is still the beginning. Now the beta version test has started, and each of our updates will be addressed to all players. There are many things that require you to be busy."

"That's what I said, but World of Warcraft is operated by AI?" Li Zongzheng looked at Hao Yun helplessly and said, "I feel that after the game is online, there will be nothing for us."

Hao Yun smiled and said.

"The update of the material library, the planning of player activities... There are still a lot of things that need people to do. But as our'zero' continues to grow, maybe even these tasks can be handed over to AI in the future. ."

Li Zongzheng sighed suddenly.

"To be honest, when I saw Zero, I was thinking that now that AI technology is so advanced, we will all be unemployed in the next ten years or so."

"How is it possible," Hao Yun said with a smile, "Although AI is very convenient, a lot of creative work still needs people to complete."

Li Zongzheng asked.

"Isn't running a game a creative job?"

This is an interesting question.

Hao Yun thought for a while and gave an ambiguous answer.

"Neither, nor exactly."

Li Zongzheng said helplessly.

"Doesn't this mean that I didn't say it."

"Because this is the case," Hao Yun shrugged and continued, "Didn't I say that before, the future of the world of Azeroth is determined by the actions of all players. It is probably similar to a dnd rule. We are responsible for formulating the rules. AI deduces based on the rules and the behavior of the players, and determines the direction of the development of the story... So I think this is more like a logical work than creative work."

Of course, it is not entirely logical.

In fact, Hao Yun has little knowledge of this AI from the "system", and the intelligence it shows is far more than just operating games.

And according to Wu Fan's description, that update almost covered all the code in the original program, and even completely changed the structure of the entire program.

It's not so much "optimization".

It is better to say it is "rewritten".

Hao Yun even has a feeling that its arrival seems to be destined, all this is like being designed...

However, he does not intend to think about these issues for the time being, after all, making any inferences without clues is no different from unfounded assumptions.

At this time, there was a sudden explosion from the elevator entrance, which shocked everyone, thinking that something had exploded.

As a result, he leaned over and found that it was Du Ziteng's second guy who actually went downstairs to buy a bottle of champagne, and he was still learning from the movie, shaking it hard for several times before pulling out the cork.

As a result, due to lack of experience, the corkscrew was blown out along with the cork, and the spray of foam washed out Jiang Lecheng's face just entering the door.

Fortunately, people are fine.

It's just that the clothes must be wet...

"Du Ziteng! Are you crazy!?"

Du Ziteng was stunned on the spot and hurriedly put the bottle down.

"I, I didn't mean to fuck."

"You wait for me!"

Jiang Lecheng gritted his teeth with hatred, gave him a fierce look, turned and ran to the bathroom. Hao Yun asked the female staff of the art department to quickly follow him to help, and then gave Du Ziteng a bewildered look.

"You can't wait! Wait until the celebration party has champagne for you to play... When people come back, remember to apologize."

Du Ziteng lowered his head and said.

"Yes……"

Although there was an episode, it did not affect the festive atmosphere in the company.

But at this moment, Zhou Ruining suddenly trot to Hao Yun's side and whispered.

"Mr. Hao, Yunmeng Technology is calling."

Yunmeng Technology's phone?

Is it because the server resources are not enough?

In theory, this is impossible. In order to ensure that the game can run normally on the day it went online, Hao Yun specially arranged for someone to upgrade the server, requiring that 20 million players were online at the same time.

Now the number of simultaneous online players has just broken through ten million, even if it grows a little longer, it will not double, right?

"I know."

Realizing that the problem might not be as simple as imagined, Hao Yun nodded and asked Zhou Ruining to greet the staff of the World of Warcraft project team for herself, contact her whenever she had any problems, and then returned to the office.

"Hey?"

"Mr. Hao, it's me."

Wu Fan's voice came from the other end of the phone.

No nonsense, Hao Yun went straight to the topic.

"Is there anything going on over there?"

"Something really happened... Just now, our server was attacked by a DOS."

Damn it?

Hearing these words, Hao Yun was stunned for a moment.

Although it was anticipated that the Sea Lion Group might be unscrupulous, he did not expect that this guy would even use such a method.

With a serious expression, Hao Yun asked immediately.

"Is the problem serious?"

"It's not so serious...it's better to say that the effect was so insignificant that we almost ignored it." With a weird expression on his face, Wu Fan explained what happened to Hao Yun.

Probably just a few minutes ago, the World of Warcraft server encountered abnormal data access.

The attacker used the ICMP echo request message sent by ping to force the system to spend most of the time making useless responses, trying to reduce the server's network quality in this way.

After discovering the problem, the technician on duty immediately began to deal with it. However, to everyone's surprise, when they had just opened the background management program to prepare for the attack, the source of the attack was silently cut off.

At first they thought that it was the hacker who attacked the server and retreated.

But what is confusing is that later the server encountered several attacks in different poses. The classic methods such as fragment bombs and buffer overflow were all used.

However, the result is that these methods are all thunder and rain, and they disappear without a trace without even causing obvious network fluctuations.

It wasn't until the staff on duty in the computer room retrieved the operation records through the server management program that they discovered that these attacks were all under zero block.

Having said that, Wu Fan's tone was full of admiration and emotion, and couldn't help but ask at the end.

"Unexpectedly, you have long considered that our server will be attacked. I still don't understand, Mr. Hao... how did you do it?"

"Eh? Ah... I." Hao Yun's face was stunned and embarrassed.

How to explain this stuff?

He didn't write this program!

"If it's not convenient to disclose, then forget it," Wu Fan sighed, his expression slightly adjusted and continued, "According to our technical personnel's investigation, the source of the attack is likely to come from the Sea Lion Group."

Does this thing still need to be traced?

Something unclear...

Hao Yun cleared his throat and asked in a deep voice.

"Can you collect evidence?"

Wu Fan said with a look of embarrassment.

"It's a bit difficult, we can only say that we try our best... The other party has taken a very cautious approach. It has used many IPs as a springboard. The most relevant IP we can trace is also located overseas. If we continue to trace it, I am afraid it can only be handed to the police To deal with it... Do you need to call the police?"

Caution is expected.

[Get the red envelope] The cash or coin red envelope has been issued to your account! Follow the public account on WeChat [Book Friends Base Camp] to receive!

It would be better to say that there was nothing wrong with the server, which was beyond everyone's expectations.

Hao Yun said for a moment of thought~www.ltnovel.com.

"There is no need to report to the police. There is no actual economic loss. Even if the investigation continues, there will be no results."

"but……"

"Of course I don't mean to let it go," Hao Yun continued, hearing Wu Fan's hesitation in his tone, "Since they have even used this method, they must be mentally prepared."

"what do you mean……"

"I didn't say that," Hao Yun smiled, "and I really did this, not now."

"We have collected a lot of evidence during this period of time, and these accounts have to be settled, and now is not the time for extravagance."

After a pause, he looked at the floor-to-ceiling windows of the office and continued in a very soft voice.

"Besides, I don't want them to dump the reason for the failure to the server being attacked."
