On May 30th, under everyone's expectations, the icon of Galaxy Edge officially appeared in the list of applications for the Phantom Helmet, and the icon could be lit up after the preload was completed.
According to the statistics of Future Technology's operations department, in less than an hour after the preload was opened, more than 50 million users clicked the preload button and loaded Galaxy Edge into their Phantom helmets or VR game cabins.
For a time, Future Technology's server was almost overcrowded, and they had to urgently add a quantum computer as a server to provide download services for users.
Fortunately, the signal of the 32 quantum communication satellites had covered all continents except the Antarctic State. Otherwise, the huge data transmission would have become another headache for Future Technology.
In less than two hours, the number of preload users easily exceeded 100 million, and it continued to rise at an alarming rate.
By noon on the same day, the number had reached a terrifying 300 million. Only then did the rise in the number of preload users slow down. By the end of the preload in the early morning of the same day, the number of preload users worldwide had reached a terrifying 500 million!
There seemed to be no suspense about Galaxy Edge breaking the record set by Godly Land?
However, for the game designers, before witnessing this moment with their own eyes, they couldn't relax.
…
The night outside the window was already dark, but the conference room on the 50th floor of the Future Building was still lit.
The conference room was now occupied by the employees of the Galaxy Edge project team.
More than a dozen executives and technical backbones of the planning team and operations team were sitting at the long conference table, nervously staring at the holographic screen in front of the conference room.
An hour after the end of the preload, that is, at one o 'clock in the morning on May 31st, Galaxy Edge would officially start, and all the eagerly waiting players would pour into the game world they built.
At that time, whether the number of people online at the same time could break the record set by Godly Land, whether their project could create new glory for Future Technology, all the questions would be answered at that moment.
Whether it would become a joke or a legend, it all depended on this moment!
Walking to the open window, the project manager had already lit his twelfth cigarette of the day, counting from the moment the clock turned. The leader of the planning team rubbed his fingers repeatedly and circled around the back of the conference room. This was the seventh time that the team leader of the operations department got up to go to the toilet. Before this, he had almost finished all the coffee in the conference room …
Even the CEO of Future Technology, the veteran Ning Huajian, who had been with Jiang Chen all the way from Wanghai, stood in the 50-square-meter conference room and accompanied his subordinates through this tense and exciting moment.
Finally, the clock on the wall of the conference room passed one o 'clock on the hour.
Almost instantly, the number on the holographic screen jumped from zero to ten million.
Everyone's heart skipped a beat along with that number.
However, this was only the beginning.
In the short span of a minute, the number had doubled.
Their hearts that had leaped up to their throats never came down!
"Twenty million! The number of players online has exceeded 20 million in the first minute of the game's release! "
"The number of people online at the same time has exceeded 50 million! Five minutes! "
"One hundred million! One hundred million! We've broken the record! "The operations team leader exclaimed, igniting the emotions of everyone in the meeting room.
He had broken the record!
The legend created by the Godly Land had already been rewritten by them!
The number of people online on the Galaxy Edge easily exceeded 100 million and was now leaping in the direction of 110 million without slowing down.
"Server 1 is running normally. Turn on server 2! Now! " The leader of the technical team called the technician in the computer room. His calm voice was trembling with excitement.
His face was full of excitement. When Ning Huajian saw the line of numbers on the holographic screen, he finally felt relieved.
Facing his subordinates who were still fighting at their posts, he cheered them on with an excited tone.
"Wake up, don't fall asleep at this time!"
"Haha, who can fall asleep? This is even more refreshing than balm! "
"…"
There was another person who was also paying attention to this line of numbers. It was Lilith, who was sitting on the sofa in the mansion's living room.
Although she didn't say anything, Jiang Chen could still feel that as a game designer, she still cared about other people's evaluation of the game.
Sitting next to her, Jiang Chen looked at the constantly changing line of numbers on the holographic screen in her hand.
An hour had passed.
After breaking through the 300 million mark, the growth of the global number of people online had begun to slow down.
When the number reached 350 million, Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel emotional.
"The number of people online in our game has surpassed the third most populous country in the world."
"That was the data from four years ago. According to the latest population data, 350 million can at most be ranked in the top five in the world …" Lilith ridiculed expressionlessly, and a stream of data suddenly flashed in her right eye. She raised her head slightly and said abruptly, "Network attack detected."
"Network attack?" Jiang Chen looked away from the holographic screen and began to feel a little sleepy. He yawned and said casually, "… Fight him."
"I'm already fighting him."
With the development of Future Technology to this point, even if they did nothing, it would attract countless spying and even hateful gazes. On such a crucial day, Jiang Chen wasn't surprised at all that someone would try to do something devious.
Not only was he not surprised, he was not even worried about it.
Not to mention the fact that Lilith was sitting next to him, even without the advanced artificial intelligence, Future Technology's security team was not something that could be broken through easily.
"Done, the target terminal has exploded." Lilith casually issued a death sentence to the hacker's computer and continued expressionlessly, "The real coordinates have been locked … Do you want to launch a 'Peace Messenger'?"
"No need, thank you!"
Looking at the expressionless Lilith, Jiang Chen subconsciously glanced in the direction of the office.
His suitcase was locked there, and the nuclear button inside was probably enough to destroy the world twice.
"I'm just making a suggestion." Lilith shrugged, and her tone carried a rare hint of mockery. "You know, no matter how powerful the computer technology is, it is impossible to break through physical isolation."
"If you make this kind of joke again, I'll send you back!"
Jiang Chen glared at Lilith, and the latter opened the emoji system and made a scared expression.
However, Jiang Chen knew very well that this guy absolutely had no intention of reflecting.
It was indeed troublesome for a program to have thoughts and emotions.
However, even Jiang Chen himself was surprised that compared to the beginning, his view of advanced artificial intelligence had slightly changed because of the existence of Lilith …
