Chapter 172

The idea of interconnection of many countries has existed for a long time. The 21st century has entered the era of global Internet. Why are online games divided into different regions, such as national service, Taiwan service, European service and American service? Why can't the servers of different countries be interconnected, so that global players can enjoy the fun of the game in the same connected star sky.

Of course, there are various reasons for this, such as different agents and the problem of profit distribution. However, since he has won the agency in Asia, Lin Feng wants to try this new idea. Multi Country Internet, Lin Feng believes that this will certainly attract the interest of players.

On the other side of the ocean, in the same network, players of different nationalities fight with each other. There are too many things that can arouse players' interest, and these things are enough to make game lovers crazy.

After hearing about Lin Feng's idea, people thought it was feasible. Once it was successful, it would make the "second world" enter the Asian market and become a multinational online game company. However, the difficulty is not small, and there are many problems.

"Mr. Lin, this plan is feasible, but does Mr. Lin want to operate in several countries at the same time?" Wu Zhaopu's problem is also everyone's problem.

"In three countries and one region, the most popular online games in Asia are undoubtedly China and South Korea, as well as Taiwan, where online games are popular. The RB video game market is developed, but the online game market has been sluggish, but it is worth developing, "Lin Feng thought about it, and decided to open the service in the four most popular online game regions in Asia at the same time. As for the RB market, it is not an ideal investment market. However, Lin Feng will enter the RB market sooner or later. Now he has the right to be a pathfinder first. What's more, with the popularity of "anti terrorist elite" in the world and its online game of the same name, Lin Feng believes that he will be able to find a way out in Rb.

Wu Zhaopu frowned. As the CEO of "the second world", he knows more about server load and resource allocation than Lin Feng. The most difficult problem for multinational interconnection is data asynchronous transmission.

"Lin Dong, the interconnection of the three countries plus one Taiwan region requires too much server, and the problem of asynchronous data transmission is not easy to solve. I'm afraid we're going to spend a lot of money in the early stages. " Wu Zhaopu said, "and I don't know how many districts Lin Dong is going to open?"

"One zone, let all Asian players play in one zone." Lin Feng said.

The people's faces froze.

A district. Is that possible? In terms of the number of online people in legend, the highest online rate is over one million. According to this ratio, if we take other two countries and Taiwan into account, I'm afraid the number of online people will not be less than 2 million. 2 million people are crowded in one area at the same time. This terrible data flow can not be solved by adding servers alone. There are too many details in it, especially the interconnection of many countries, The transmission speed of different countries is also different. In short, there are many problems.

Lin Feng has considered the worries of the public. However, these are only technical problems that can be solved. But the huge capital investment in advance is really a problem. Today's "second world", as well as other companies under its own account, can only allocate 200 million funds at most, but it may not be enough to complete multi-national Internet games.

"By the way, this time I also acquired a brand new software BT, which I think may be used to solve our technical problems, and maybe solve our lack of funds." Lin Feng suddenly thought of BitTorrent software, which he bought for $50000. This multi-point transmission, the more people, the faster the transmission of crazy download software.

Lin Feng quickly orders people to print out BitTorrent's relevant information and hand it over to everyone.

Cui Mingze, Fang Zhihang, and Qiu Xin, the former chief programmer of Xishanju studio, are now the vice director of the Development Department of swordsman online.

"Boss, who developed this software? The idea is too creative. P2P architecture, multi-point transmission, God, once this software comes out, I believe it will change the network world. " Qiu Xin exclaimed.

"Ha ha, it was designed by an American named Cohen, but I bought the copyright completely." Lin Feng showed a little satisfaction.

The three of them sighed about Cohen's brain and the rapid development of IT industry. If they were a little bit slow, they would fall behind.

Wu Zhaopu inquired about Cui Mingze and three of them. After finding out the purpose of the software, he said, "Mr. Lin, the purpose of the software is mainly to download data. It can't bring us direct economic benefits. I'm afraid it will also involve a lot of copyright issues." After all, Wu Zhaopu was an economic analyst, and soon grasped BitTorrent's pulse.

"However, if the BitTorrent software can really solve the problem of multi-national interconnection, I have a proposal that we should not put the software that can only be downloaded to the market for the time being, and let the technology be owned exclusively by our company. I think that if we can really solve the problem of asynchronous transmission, other online game companies will definitely come to us to buy the authorization of this software in the future. " Wu Zhaopu has already thought of a very far-reaching future. However, if everything is really as he thought, the profits brought by this software will be huge.

Wu Zhaopu's words reminded Lin Feng. Lin Feng remembers that the "anti terrorism elite online" launched by valve is a distributed system based on BitTorrent. This system can greatly reduce the load of data traffic on servers and reduce the dependence on servers.

"Can you use this software?" Lin Feng looks at Cui Ming and the three of them.

The three of them looked at each other with a bitter smile. "Boss, although we are also programmers, we have expertise. If possible, we'd better invite the programmers who developed this software. If he is in charge, I believe this technology transformation should be much easier. "

"Well, I'll take this." Lin Feng made a plan for the future development of the company.

Multinational Internet "anti terrorism elite online", which will definitely be the most anticipated game in the second half of 2001. However, Lin Feng is not ready to disclose the news immediately, attracting players and the industry crazy. Of course, if it had been Shi Yuzhu, a marketing maniac, he would have hyped the concept all over the world. But Lin Feng is Lin Feng, not Shi Yuzhu. Lin Feng doesn't want to launch a satellite on the premise that everything is unknown and the important technical problems have not been solved.

Lin Feng doesn't want to be scolded by players because he hasn't overcome the technical problems. Lin Feng hopes to build his "second world" into an online game company with high quality and reputation like blizzard.

After the meeting, Lin Feng called Newell, CEO of valve.

"Newell, I'm Lin Feng from the second world. I'd like to trouble you with something. There is something wrong with the BitTorrent software I bought last time with Cohen. I hope I can invite him to SH to guide my programmers. " Lin Feng naturally would not dig the corner of Newell in the open, so that the other party might be alert and not let anyone go. Besides, digging people like this, the other side's face is not good-looking. It's better to invite people over first, and then keep them. After that, give Newell a present. It's not embarrassing for both sides.

Newell didn't think of this, and naturally agreed. Who ever thought that the programmer he just hired would never come back. He also personally put Lin Feng's "second world" on the throne of the game empire.

Cohen was also worried when he learned that there was something wrong with his software. He has a straight temper. He doesn't know so much. Thinking that he had collected $50000 from Lin Feng, but there was something wrong with the software, he was in a hurry. I went home to clean up in a hurry and got on the plane.

When Cohen arrived at sh, Lin Feng was flattered by the grand welcome ceremony. At this time, he found that there seemed to be something strange. When Lin Feng explained later, he immediately realized that it was not his own software that was wrong, but the other party wanted to dig people. In this regard, Cohen is both funny and helpless. Now that people are in SH, what else can we do. In addition, Lin Feng's idea of using BitTorrent software technology to connect online games with other countries deeply attracted him. In addition, Lin Feng promised that his annual salary would rise to $500000, which also stimulated Cohen's heart.

After a little thought, Cohen agreed to Lin Feng's request. As for the home in the United States, it was originally a temporary rental apartment, and there was not much valuable things, and it was not worth going back. At present, Cohen called his friends in the United States and asked them to help return the rent. Then he settled down in SH.

When Newell receives Lin Feng's call and says that there is something wrong with SH and he wants to borrow Cohen for a while, no matter how stupid Newell is, he knows what's going on. However, he does not point out that the two companies are now in a cooperative relationship, so there is no need to tear their faces at these trifles. What's more, Cohen is only the staff he recruited, not the core staff of the company. It doesn't matter if he is dug out.

Moreover, Newell also guessed that it should be related to the BitTorrent software newly designed by Cohen. Lin Feng didn't want to steal the company's core code about "anti terrorist elite online". Therefore, Newell magnanimously told Lin Feng that Cohen would use it with Lin Feng.

However, Newell has a feeling in his heart that giving up Cohen this time is probably the most important mistake he has made in his life.

Newell's magnanimous, Lin Feng naturally understand that he already know this, also don't say. With the tacit understanding of both sides, Cohen became Lin Feng's special advisor to "the second world", specializing in the network communication of the technology department.

everybody ' s happy!

In order to make "anti terrorism elite online" available in Asia as soon as possible, Lin Feng temporarily transferred Cui Mingze working group, which was originally responsible for the development of "jinwutuan", and Xishanju working group, which has been researching and developing "swordsman love online". Under the leadership of Cohen, Lin Feng gave priority to overcoming the technical difficulties of "anti terrorism elite online". When he thought that he would transfer people to develop journey, Lin Feng had a headache.

Talent is too few, but also recruit people - Lin Feng pondered where to dig more game talent back.

At this time, Wang Hai, who is responsible for tracking down hackers, has news.

"Mr. Lin, I have locked the detailed address of the hacker." Wang Hai called.
