The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 358: Hardships with Friends, Invincible Server! (Seeking monthly votes)
"The battle for the throne?"

"After laying the foundation, shouldn't there be a transition to a rise?"

Xu Meng was a little surprised.

But on second thought, the Dream Building Game Platform has 4 million registered users, which is definitely in the first tier.

The "rise" stage has been completed ahead of time.

This huge user base is also one of the key factors for him to receive excess rewards.

As for the "content production and distribution team", it refers to the content producers of the Dream Games platform——

Similar to Xue Liang recruiting people within the company to produce the official version of "Storm Fire", this is the prototype of the Dream Building first-party studio.

There are three similar studio prototypes in Zhumeng.

Studios like Lingzhou Studio, which are partially controlled by Dream Building, are second-party studios.

Finally, there are the developers of games like "Nations", "Forza 6", and "Shadow Knight".

There is no equity relationship between them and DreamZhu, they simply publish games on the DreamZhu game platform and are a third-party studio.

Although these three echelons are only in their infancy, they have established a framework.

After that, as long as we continue to enrich this framework and allow the three content production echelons to gradually grow stronger, the Dream Building Game Platform will be able to provide players with a steady stream of game content in a stable and continuous manner.

This is also what must be done to complete the new task [Battle for the Throne].

What are the strengths of the old gaming platforms?
Tens of thousands of old games in the game library;
Thousands of new games are launched every year;

a large number of small studios signing exclusive agreements;

Countless independent game developers.

There is also technical support for developers, players' usage habits, cross-border payment systems, anti-cheating technology, and player communities...

These are advantages that have been gradually built up through years of development.

To realize the dream of completing the [Battle for the Throne] and achieving comprehensive transcendence is by no means an easy task.

Xu Meng felt overwhelmed just thinking about it, and even couldn't help but have some crooked thoughts -

“To be the first choice of game developers and players, you don’t have to be the best in every aspect, right?”

"As long as we shut down all the game distribution platforms other than DreamCraft, leaving only DreamCraft on the market, this mission should be accomplished."

As soon as this thought came to mind, Xu Meng realized that he was a bit extreme.

He quickly shook his head, getting rid of this cruel thought from his mind.

It is better to make yourself stronger and become the king of the gaming industry!
Of course, if I can’t get the extra reward in the end…

Well, for the advancement of science and technology and the development of civilization, we have no choice but to make our friendly competitors suffer a little more!

Thinking of this, Xu Meng became clear.

He changed into a comfortable position and leaned on the sofa, closed his eyes, and began to check the two new skills he had acquired——

[Photonic topology server array] and [brain-computer interface].

At least he had heard of the latter one, and with the knowledge he had gained from the [Dream Machine] and [Body Sensing Synchronization Suit], he was not completely in the dark.

However, the term "photon topology server array" is a complete blind spot in knowledge.

Just the technical introduction alone made Xu Meng feel overwhelmed:

[Combining topological photonics with distributed photonic computing architecture, combining silicon photonic chips with topological insulator materials, and building a new type of high-performance, low-energy computing system.]
Three sentences, four unfamiliar nouns.

Xu Meng even had some doubts: What does this thing have to do with games?
His doubts were immediately dispelled by the effect of the [Photon Topology Server Array]:
Optical signals do not produce Joule heat, and compared to traditional electronic servers, energy consumption can be reduced by 90%!

Compared with the GHz transmission speed of electrical signals, the transmission rate of optical signals can reach THz, and the parallelism is increased by thousands of times!
It can also be interconnected in an array, connecting multiple photonic computing modules through a topological optical waveguide network to form a dynamically reconfigurable server cluster!
It sounds a bit like the GPU array in electronic computing.

But the delay can be reduced to picoseconds!

When it comes to delay, Xu Mengke is an expert!
Zhumeng has spent a huge amount of money to rent cloud server computing power, and its own server center is about to be completed.

But even with so much investment, players still cannot avoid delays in playing games.

The Xia Kingdom is really too big.

Conditions in big cities are good, and game delays can be reduced to below 15ms.

But in small cities in the Midwest, the speed can be stabilized below 45ms, which means that Xiaguo’s infrastructure is strong enough and the server providers are powerful enough.

For more remote areas - especially remote areas overseas, we are really unable to do so and can only go with the flow.

But once this photonic topology server array is built, the delay can be reduced to below 0.1ms!

It can really realize real-time interaction among tens of millions of players on the same server!
In addition, the photon entanglement channel can dynamically allocate computing power, which can fully cope with the load of a super-large open world!

This will be a revolutionary improvement for massively multiplayer online games! "Awesome!!!"

Xu Meng was so excited that she jumped up from the sofa on the spot.

When he makes games, he likes to create big scenes!

The previous city defense battles, support for the Silver City, and the Wild Hunt invasion were all manifestations of this preference.

But the scale of the sprawling city is already the limit of what can be achieved in building dreams.

And there is moisture.

Speaking of which, Mansheng City does have tens of millions of daily active users.

But in fact, these users are scattered in different mirrors, and the number of players in each mirror is at most 2000.

However, once the number of players exceeds a thousand, it will feel like the world is full of people, and you will not be able to tell whether there are 1000 or 10000 people around you.

But doesn’t Xu Meng want to cram 1000 million people into one city?
of course not.

He wants it so much!

But he couldn't.

——No one in the world can do it.

This is a technical limitation, a hardware shackle that cannot be broken.

But now, [Photon Topology Server Array] can break this limitation!
Xu Meng's heart surged, and a bold idea suddenly came to her mind -

"Is it possible to rub out an entire planet?!"

"Which one do you want to rub?"

"Second Earth? Monster Hunter World? Water World? Or Holy Terra?"

……

After thinking for a long time, Xu Meng calmed himself down, lay back on the sofa, and unpacked the technical data of the [Photon Topology Server Array].

During this process, his brows furrowed a little.

This thing is really invincible in terms of performance.

It can also rely on the existing semiconductor industry chain for upgrading——

There are ready-made references for silicon photonics technology and topological insulator technology. Photonic modules are also compatible with existing copper wires and can be hot-swapped, allowing DreamWorks to gradually replace data centers.

At first glance, it's all advantages.

Topological optical chips require the use of electron beams to carve nanoscale photonic crystal structures on silicon substrates and introduce topological edge states by breaking the symmetry.

In this area of ​​technology, Xiaguo still has a gap with the world's most advanced level.

If you want to develop a photonic topology server array, you must first upgrade the semiconductor industry chain.

The semiconductor industry chain is an extremely special one around the world, and it is an important industry that involves many fields such as science and technology, politics, and economy.

This thing...

Xu Meng felt a headache just thinking about it.

So he decided to leave this matter to Wu Shuang and others to discuss.

In comparison, brain-computer interfaces are simpler.

The technical content of this thing is higher than that of the photon topology server array, but it is a niche field globally and its impact will not be too wide.

Moreover, Xu Meng felt that performing surgery on a player's head was a bit outrageous.

——Perform surgery on 4 million people around the world, making an incision in their brains and implanting a neural interface.

Even for Xu Meng, this idea was a bit too crazy and wild!
At least at this stage, it's too wild.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that this technology can’t be used.

Xu Meng took a quick look at the technical introduction and felt that the [brain-computer interface] technology could be of great help in optimizing the [brain wave signal collector].

If he could conduct in-depth research, the problems of [data processing delay] and [unstable link] that have been bothering him with the Dream Machine might be solved!

"We need to find a few paralyzed volunteers first to verify the feasibility of the technology."

"Also, the Dream Machine can be made public now."

After thinking for a moment, Xu Meng took out his cell phone and called Wu Shuang.
