Four Hundred and Seventy Six Working Overtime Today
Sitting in his office, turning on the computer in front of him, brewing a cup of bitter tea for himself, Faraday started his day's work.
He is a computer maintenance specialist of a high-tech company and a master's degree from Imperial University of Science and Technology. With a good salary, he does some very leisurely computer maintenance work.
This company belongs to Royal Entertainment and is developing a very interesting online game. According to the company's consistent performance, almost all of the games it develops are hits.
Faraday doesn't know where these wild ideas come from, but this company called Blizzard Entertainment can be said to be a miracle in the emerging industry.
It has developed several brand new games so far. One is called StarCraft, which has become popular on the computer network since it was launched.
This game tells the story of three races in outer space fighting each other - its high degree of completion and the balance of the battle system make everyone who has played this game full of praise.
Another game is called Counter-Strike, which is the pinnacle of the shootout genre. It has already been launched and countless people are crazy about it.
Next, the game company began to develop new games, adapted and recreated the stories of races such as elves and humans, added the brand-new concept of undead, and launched Warcraft.
After Warcraft, Blizzard launched the stand-alone game Legend of Sword and Fairy again, and then launched the LAN game Diablo.
Anyway, this company is great. From its birth to the present, it has made full use of the Internet and computers, and it has also added new splendor to the boring life.
Nowadays, countless computer users can be seen active on the largest online platforms. The social platform launched by Royal Entertainment has swept the whole of Ilan Hill, and now anyone who doesn't know about penguins is a backward and rustic guy.
As usual, Faraday opened his login interface, entered his password, and opened the Penguin chat interface.
He skillfully entered some groups and looked at the contents. These are the groups he works in, where he can exchange some maintenance experience, and he is also willing to answer some difficult questions for the people in these groups.
Because of the existence of the magic ball of knowledge, the popularity of computers is much faster than imagined. Also because of the wealth of Alan Hill, buying a computer has become the latest choice of many families.
He picked up the slightly hot bitter tea on the table, gently blew away the hot air from the mouth of the cup, took a sip, and let the temperature roll in his stomach for a while, he only x-on: a few people, answered their questions, and then felt comfortable I looked at the news pushed by social software.
"Alan Hill's No. 6 space station was successfully launched, and No. 7 and No. 8 space stations are under construction simultaneously." His eyes swept over this message, and the mouse quickly rolled down.
The news of the space station has been continuously pushed recently. It seems that the country attaches great importance to this matter, and the launch speed is getting faster and faster.
Moreover, I heard that the space station uses some new computer technology, and there are very few news reports in this area, and Faraday really wants to know more about it.
I heard that chips have started to be produced using nanotechnology, and many performances have been greatly improved. The functions of the processor are also unprecedentedly powerful, and the graphics card is also being updated rapidly.
In this environment, if he does not study every day and enrich himself with more cutting-edge computer knowledge, he feels that he will be abandoned by the times in a week.
This is also the common feeling of many people in Ireland. The skilled workers who were envied yesterday, with the large-scale popularization of robots, began to be forced to leave large cities and transfer to factories in second-tier cities.
A professor who is still a university teacher today may be sent to a high school to teach in a few days because of outdated knowledge. Elementary school teachers are even worse. Most teachers who cannot keep up with progress can only be sent to kindergartens to work.
Fortunately, there are more and more newborns in Alan Hill, so that those who cannot keep up with the progress of the times will not be unemployed.
"The troops in the southern region advanced 60 kilometers and did not encounter fierce resistance from demons." He turned to the second page, and the content of the news pushed was the same as that of the morning news.
In fact, nothing shocking happened these days. In such a vibrant emerging empire, things that once stunned people are no longer serious news.
For example, there was a report before, saying that nuclear warheads were used during the construction of the reservoir in Bellevue. Everyone was shocked by this, and it was the first time that the spectacular scene of a nuclear weapon explosion was broadcast live on TV.
But then, there were so many things like this that everyone was not surprised—there was a joke that said that now in Alan Hill, only His Majesty the Emperor can make some news, and the rest are just news.
"Ocean 9 giant freighter is officially launched today. This transport ship uses the latest floating magic array technology, and its carrying capacity is 10 times that of ordinary freighters...Compared with floating ships, it is more energy-efficient, but slower... ..." Seeing this, Faraday turned off the notification push, he was not interested in these things, and - it was time to go to work.
He typed a series of commands, brought up the command menu, and then pinged dozens of servers in his company to check the network status.
For him, this is the beginning of a busy day at work. While waiting to gather news about network packet loss, he grabbed the latest computer magazine on his desk and looked at the computer news.
Compared with the Internet, these professional journals are more reassuring and authoritative for him. Moreover, this kind of knowledge books are all purchased by the company, which is a good thing that is difficult for individuals to obtain.
"Why can't the human race have nuclear bombs? StarCraft has nuclear bombs, and of course Warcraft also has them." A colleague held a document, discussed the content of the game with another young man, and walked past Faraday.
Faraday heard the other party's answer, explaining that the humans in this game were not designed based on the Alan Hill Empire.
But the other party is still struggling, why humans should be side by side with the elves and an unknown orc, and they can even fight a close battle with each other.
You know, in the real world, the human army under the rule of Alan Hill is invincible and invincible!
"That's what it says in the design copy! If you are dissatisfied, complain to the head of Kunta's department." Seeing that he couldn't convince the other party, the young man resorted to his trump card.
Sure enough, the other party stopped talking, although he was still a little unconvinced, but the man who was the head of the game development department was almost the nightmare of all the company employees: he said a depressing short sentence at least once a day, and the content of the short sentence was " overtime today".
