Chapter 1321 Brainwash the Whole World
Li Mu found that he still underestimated the huge impact that "Plants vs. Zombies" can have on players in today's world.
"Plants vs. Zombies Online" has been online for three hours, and the number of online players has exceeded 20 million!
This data is really scary!
Twenty million people play a game at the same time! And play mesmerizingly! I can't believe it!
The entire technical team of Makino Technology is so nervous that they dare not even take a breath, because now according to the settings in the game, most players are still immersed in the process of single-player games. This is because when players first log in to the game, the path will first Starting from the teaching mode, and then seamlessly transitioning to the stand-alone breakthrough process, at this time the player is in the game and has not yet activated the online part of the game. In other words, although 20 million players have logged in with YY, They're obsessing over single player and haven't had a real hit with the servers yet.
However, if 20 million people activate the online game at the same time, the demand for servers will suddenly explode, and most importantly, no matter in any region of the world, this number will continue to grow rapidly.
Li Mu repeatedly confirmed the carrying capacity of the server with Kong Lingyu and Fang Xudong. The two told Li Mu that with the game mode of "Plants vs. Zombies Online" and the amount of data, the current global lines are enough to support 30 to 40 million people online at the same time.
If it is a large-scale online game, it would be impossible to host 30 to 40 million people playing online at the same time. Fortunately, "Plants vs. Zombies Online" itself is not much different from a small software, and there are no game materials. It needs to be loaded online, just like Doudizhu in the YY game hall, the demand for data transmission is very low, even if there are 50 million people playing Doudizhu at the same time, the pressure on the server is not very large.
Li Mu immediately felt relieved. His professional ability was not in the game, and he didn't have a deep understanding of the technical work of game operation. Fortunately, Muye Technology now has a very capable game technology team.
Kong Lingyu's voice was trembling with excitement, and he said to Li Mu: "Mr. Li, can this game break through 30 million people online at the same time?"
Li Mu smacked his lips and said, "Our YY, the peak number of simultaneous online users in the world has already exceeded 100 million. Judging from this data, it is not surprising that the highest number of online users of "Plants vs. Zombies Online" reached 50 million."
After all, YY is a global super product. It has basically served more than 90% of Internet users around the world, and "Plants vs. Zombies Online" is completely bundled with it, and it has such a high market recognition, so the highest The number of online users exceeding 50 million may really not be a dream.
"Plants vs. Zombies", which was not supposed to appear until 2009, was launched six years ahead of schedule, and the shock it brought to the world is immeasurable.
The technology, hardware, and space requirements of the game itself are not high, and the requirements for hardware are even weaker than those popular stand-alone and online games in the world today, but the concept is advanced, so it is like the strongest storm Generally, it quickly swept the entire Internet world.
Three and a half hours after "Plants vs. Zombies Online" was launched, Li Mu gave an order, and the online part of the game was activated.
Therefore, the NPC Michelle jumped out of the interface of all players at the same time. She blinked and told all players: "In addition to the stand-alone mode, "Plants vs. Zombies Online" can also be played online between friends." Play, your friends have started to build their own back gardens, what are you waiting for?"
A reminder to announce the official launch of the Online section.
The magically modified "Plants vs. Zombies Online" allows players to manage their own back garden like a happy farm, planting and cultivating various plants. It takes time for plants to grow, and at the same time, they must beware of friends coming to take advantage of them;
By planting plants, the player
And start [Zombie Attack and Defense] to upgrade the level and accumulate gold coins. The higher the level, the more plants can be cultivated. However, plants have a lifespan. When the lifespan is over, they will wither, so they must be eradicated in time, and then plant new ones. Plants, in the end, continue to upgrade the area, defense level and plant level of their back garden through various upgrades, which is equivalent to borrowing the core gameplay of stealing vegetables;
In addition, the more interactive feature of the game is the [Dungeon] function. Players can invite friends to play a copy of Zombie Defense Battle. The original single-player mode can suddenly become two-player, three-player or even Four people play, the more people there are, the bigger the map will be and the more zombies will be. In this way, everyone needs to work together to resist a large number of zombie invasions;
[Dungeon] has unlimited levels. Players can always team up with friends to brush the dungeon. While increasing experience and gold coins, they can also randomly get many functional props. This will greatly promote the enthusiasm of players to play [Dungeon]. ;
When players start to experience the colorful Online mode, it immediately seems to have opened up a wider and more interesting new world, and they are even more addicted to it.
Five hours after the game was launched, the number of online players exceeded 30 million!
At this time, Huaxia was already at two o'clock in the morning at night, so a considerable number of users had already gone offline. At this moment, players in North America and Europe began to occupy the main share. The trend of ears has set off an extremely huge wave in Europe and America!
YY.com used a huge banner Banner to announce a shocking news to netizens all over the world:
"Plants vs. Zombies Online" has been online for five hours, and the number of simultaneous online players has exceeded 30 million!
Five hours, thirty million? ! In the eyes of all colleagues, this is simply an impossible myth!
However, even if everyone in the industry thinks this data is unbelievable, no one doubts that Makino Technology is lying.
This game is really too magical, as long as the mouse double-clicks to open this game, the player will spend at least half an hour in this game unknowingly, and can't escape even if they want to, because there is no Don't remember to escape!
Under the tide of global obsession, Li Mu has successfully attracted the attention of all netizens.
Yesterday, their domestic media was still exaggerating the great harm of SARS and exaggerating China's responsibility on the SARS issue, which made them panic and dissatisfied with China, but when they turned their heads, the Huaxia people developed a game. Fascinate them to death.
-Do you know what SARS is?
- I'm sorry I don't have time to talk to you.
-Aren't you afraid of SARS?
-It doesn't exist, I'm only afraid of jumping zombies, because my nut wall can't stop that...
-Do you think the Chinese government has done anything to control SARS...
- China? Oh I love China! The Huaxia game is simply a work of genius! I must strive to be the first among my friends!
...
Li Mu fell asleep in excitement, and when he woke up, he found that the whole world had changed.
Since SARS was officially warned by HO Global, the first thing he does when he wakes up every day is to use the computer to check the news from various news portals in China and around the world, to see the development of the epidemic, and to see the public opinion around the world.
However, after waking up today, basically all the headlines on the front page of the Internet media had nothing to do with SARS. Instead, it turned out to be "Plants vs. Zombies Online"!
After a quick glance, I found a lot of news headlines related to "Plants vs. Zombies Online" occupying the best positions on all major platforms.
"Makino Technology has once again launched a big killer, and the heat wave of "Plants vs. Zombies Online" is sweeping the world!"
""Plants vs. Zombies Online" exploded after its launch, Internet companies from China have already led the world!"
"Unprecedented development speed, Chinese people once again shocked the world!"
"Makino Technology has created another miracle, and the IPO time is about to ripen!"
"Just in March, the hottest game of the year has been born!"
"Stealing "Plants vs. Zombies Online" at work, the whole Wall Street almost shut down!"
Under the impact of the huge popularity of this game, SARS almost lost its original strong attention all at once. Users, just overnight, when SARS was cold, overseas people's views and attitudes towards Huaxia's declining views and attitudes were immediately stopped, and losses were automatically made up through the popularity of the game.
Most of the users in front of the computer are playing "Plants vs. Zombies Online", and this game has covered so many users overnight. Players are discussing and analyzing the game on various social platforms. There are countless related content on the Internet about how to play and strategies, but there are almost no negative reviews for this game on the Internet.
This game seemed to stimulate the excitement of the whole world and set off a national carnival!
Apart from Li Mu, the happiest one is also Yang Ma.
Yang Ma originally shouldered the huge responsibility of changing the direction of the world's public opinion, but due to the lack of sufficient global influence, it was extremely difficult to advance this responsibility. She had no choice but to seek Li Mu's help, hoping to use Li Mu's online media to convey her voice to the world .
The video released by Li Mu on YY.com yesterday made Yang Ma feel very pleased. Li Mu's structure is not ordinary, and the starting point is also very well chosen. He doesn't explain, don't whitewash, and don't justify, but Let me put it straight: disease has always been the common enemy of mankind all over the world, and SARS is the same. It is about the comfort of all mankind and requires the joint efforts of all mankind. Therefore, you should not blame China, but you should thank and support China, because it It is fighting against SARS for human beings all over the world.
Li Mu's excellent entry point made many senior media workers in Yangma applaud. He raised the issue to such a height that he was almost on Mount Everest. It would be extremely difficult for the other party to fight back.
Because she was extremely satisfied with this entry point, Mother Yang didn't pay much attention to Li Mu's last words about the game, but they didn't expect that Li Mu's real killer was not the argument of standing on Mount Everest, but This game "Plants vs. Zombies Online" brainwashed people all over the world. After this game became popular overnight, the people of the world, even the people in China, seem to have forgotten what SARS is...
