Chapter 1,295 Galaxy’s Edge Is Online!

On May 30, with much anticipation, the icon of Galaxy’s Edge officially appeared in the list of Phantom Helmet applications, and the icon can be lit after completing the pre-loading.

According to statistics from the Future Technology Operations Department, in less than an hour after pre-loading was opened, more than 50 million users clicked the pre-load button and downloaded it in their Phantom helmets or VR game cabins. Into the edge of the galaxy.

For a time, Futureman Technology's servers were almost overwhelmed, and they had to urgently add a quantum computer as a server to provide users with download services.

Fortunately, the signals of thirty-two quantum communication satellites have covered all continents except Antarctica. Otherwise, huge data transmission may have become another technological headache for future people.

In less than two hours, the number of pre-loaded users easily exceeded 100 million, and is continuing to rise at an alarming rate.

By noon that day, New Zealand time, this number had reached a terrifying 300 million. It was only then that the upward trend in the number of pre-loaded users eased. As of the end of pre-loading in the early morning of that day, the number of global pre-loading users has reached a terrifying 500 million!

There seems to be no suspense that Galaxy Edge will break through the record set by the god-level continent?

However, for the game designers, before witnessing this moment with their own eyes, the hanging heart cannot be let go no matter what.

…

The night outside the window has turned dark, but the conference room on the 50th floor of the Future Man Building is still lit.

This conference room is currently occupied by employees of the Galaxy's Edge Project Department.

More than a dozen senior executives and technical backbones from the planning group, operations group, and technical backbones were sitting at the conference table, nervously staring at the large holographic screen in front of the conference room.

One hour after the pre-loading ends, that is, at one o'clock in the morning on May 31st, Galaxy's Edge will be officially launched, and all the players who have been looking forward to it will pour into the game world they have built.

By then, whether the number of people online at the same time can break the record set by the God-level continent, and whether their project can create new glories for future human technology, all question marks will be answered at that moment.

Whether it becomes a joke or a myth, it all depends on this!

Walking to the open window, the manager of the project department had already lit his twelfth cigarette of the day, counting from the moment the clock turned in the early morning. The leader of the planning team rubbed his fingers repeatedly.

Circle around the back of the conference room. This is the seventh time that the team leader of the operations department got up to go to the bathroom because he almost drank all the coffee in the conference room...

Even Ning Huajian, CEO of Futureman Technology, a veteran who had come all the way from Wanghai City with Jiang Chen, stood in this fifty-square-meter conference room, accompanying his subordinates through this tense and exciting time. moment.

Finally, the hour hand of the clock on the wall of the conference room passed one o'clock.

Almost instantly, the number on the holographic screen jumped directly from zero to ten million.

Everyone's heart skipped a beat with that number.

However this is just the beginning.

In just one minute, that number doubled.

My heart jumped into my throat one after another and never stopped!

"Twenty million! The number of people online exceeded 20 million within one minute of the game being online!"

"The number of people online at the same time exceeded 50 million! It took five minutes!"

"One hundred million! One hundred million! We have broken the record!" the leader of the operations team exclaimed, igniting the emotions of everyone in the meeting.

Record breaking!

The myths once created by the god-level continent have been rewritten by their records!

The number of people online at Galaxy's Edge has easily exceeded 100 million, and it is currently leaping towards 110 million with unabated momentum.

"Server No. 1 is running normally. Turn on Server No. 2! Now!" The leader of the technical team called the technician in the computer room, his calm tone trembling with excitement.

His face was filled with excitement. When he saw the line of numbers on the holographic screen, Ning Huajian finally let go of the hanging stone in his heart.

Facing his subordinates who were still fighting at their posts, he encouraged them in an excited tone.

"Cheer up, everyone, but don't fall asleep at this moment!"

"Haha, who can still sleep? This is more refreshing than Fengyoujing!"

"..."

There is another person who is also paying attention to this row of numbers, and that is Lilith who is sitting on the sofa in the living room of the villa.

Although she didn't say anything, Jiang Chen could still feel that as a game designer, she still cared a lot about other people's evaluation of this game.

Sitting next to her, Jiang Chen looked at the line of constantly beating numbers from the holographic screen unfolded in her hand.

An hour has passed.

After breaking through the 300 million mark, the growth in the number of global online users has begun to slow down.

When this number reached 350 million, Jiang Chen couldn't help but sigh.

“The number of people online for our game already exceeds that of the third most populous country in the world.”

"That was the data from four years ago. If we go by the latest population data, 350 million would at most rank among the top five in the world..." She complained expressionlessly, and a flash of light suddenly flashed across Lilith's right eye. String data stream. She raised her head slightly and said suddenly, "A network attack has been detected."

"Network attack?" Jiang Chen looked away from the holographic screen and started to feel sleepy. He yawned and said casually, "...attack him."

"Already fighting."

When future people's technology has developed to this stage, even if they do nothing, they will attract countless squinting and even hostile looks. On such a critical day, Jiang Chen was not surprised at all that someone would use some crooked ideas.

Not only was he not surprised, he wasn't even worried about it at all.

Not to mention that Lilith was sitting next to him, even without the intervention of this advanced artificial intelligence, the security team of Futureman Technology would not be able to break through with the kung fu of those three-legged cats.

"Get it, the target terminal has exploded." Lilith casually handed down a death sentence to the blind hacker's computer, and continued expressionlessly, "The real coordinates have been locked... and a 'Peace Messenger' is going to be launched there. ?"

"No, thank you!"

Seeing the expressionless Lilith Khan said, Jiang Chen subconsciously glanced in the direction of the study.

Locked there was his suitcase, which contained enough nuclear buttons to destroy the world roughly twice.

"I'm just making a suggestion," Lilith shrugged, with a rare hint of joking in her tone, "You know, no matter how powerful computer technology is, it is impossible to break through physical isolation."

"I'll send you back if you make such a joke again!"

Jiang Chen glared at Lilith angrily, and the latter turned on the expression system and made a scared expression.

However, Jiang Chen knew very well that this guy had absolutely no intention of introspection.

It is indeed a troublesome thing for a program to have thoughts and feelings.

However, what surprised even Jiang Chen himself was that compared to his initial views on advanced artificial intelligence, his views on advanced artificial intelligence had slightly changed due to the existence of Lilith...
