.
Dream Entertainment had announced to the public that their online game, the Brave World, would be officially updated on July 13th at 12: 00 PM sharp.
It was now 11: 49 PM. There were still 11 minutes until the official update of the Brave World.
Of course, the online update of the Brave World was only a cover. The real purpose was to collect user computing resources through IWN's Secret Web.
Although Shi Lei was full of confidence, Shi Lei had no idea how many players would choose to support the Brave World and Dream Entertainment.
Shi Lei didn't answer Tao Wenxian's question. Instead, he ordered, "Izur, calculate all the IWN feeds that have logged into the Brave World. Also, calculate the maximum amount of computing resources that can be collected on IWN's Secret Web without affecting players' normal gaming."
The three of them were wearing LIP Lens Information Processors. Izur could directly send the statistics to the LIP Lens Information Processor's virtual transparent screen for the three of them to view.
After waiting for about two minutes, Izur finally finished calculating.
Even a powerful player like Izur needed some time to calculate tens of millions of data. Two minutes was already a very fast processing speed.
The virtual transparent screen of the LIP Lens Information Processor showed that the number of players currently online in the Brave World had exceeded 48 million!
According to the information displayed by Izur on the LIP Lens Information Processor's virtual transparent screen, this number had exceeded the average number of players online in the past seven days.
This number clearly showed that the players supported the Brave World and Dream Entertainment's attitude.
Shi Lei and the other two heaved a sigh of relief at the same time. Their hanging hearts finally settled down.
Especially when they saw the virtual transparent screen of the LIP Lens Information Processor display that IWN's Secret Web could collect up to 680,000 tflops of computing resources without affecting players. Shi Lei and the other two all laughed.
When IWN's Secret Web integrated computing, the average computing resources provided by each IWN feed was only 0.001 tflops or even less.
However, IWN's Secret Web's method of collecting computing resources had changed. It had far surpassed OverSeed's method. It could collect as much computing resources as it could without affecting players' normal gaming. At most, it would only be left with computing resources to maintain the system's basic operations.
In this extreme mode, IWN's Secret Web could collect ten times more computing resources than the average. There was no problem at all.
"Haha!
Stone Head, look! The number of players online is increasing rapidly! "
Tao Wenxian reminded Shi Lei. However, Izur had displayed the data in their LIP Lens Information Processors. Tao Wenxian and Shi Lei couldn't see it!
Shi Lei smiled and nodded. "Yes!
According to the current situation, IWN's Secret Web could collect more than a million tflops of computing resources! "
Raphael agreed. "Stone, your estimate is too conservative. More than 1,000,000 tflops of computing resources is definitely not a problem!"
Shi Lei nodded calmly and didn't comment.
Raphael directly ordered Izur, "Izur, calculate the data of players who are AFK. Also, calculate the data of players who are using personal game servers."
Izur immediately displayed the data on the LIP Lens Information Processor's virtual transparent screen.
Raphael smiled and said, "There are more than five million AFK players. I think there will be more!
After all, it's not 12 o 'clock yet. Some of the AFK players might enter the game at 12 o' clock sharp.
At the same time, less than one-tenth of the players who have personal game servers are logging in.
Later, when the players with personal game servers log in to the Hero's World, the computing resources provided by the personal game servers will be considerable! "
Shi Lei said affirmatively, "Yes, that's true. That makes sense!"
Time passed minute by minute. As the time approached 12 o 'clock, the number of players online in the Hero's World increased. At 11: 55 o' clock, the number of players online had exceeded 50 million.
This meant that in just six minutes, more than 2 million players had logged in!
After all, the total number of registered players in the Hero's World had only exceeded 60 million. It hadn't even reached 61 million.
Among them, there must be a portion of players who had only registered in the Hero's World. After trying it out, they gave up on the Hero's World.
Although this number was definitely small, it did exist!
The Hero's World was indeed very attractive, but not everyone liked it. There were always some unique players who didn't like the Hero's World.
For example, Shi Lei had personally found the reason why players were boycotting the Hero's World on Dream Entertainment's official player forum. It was because a portion of the characters in the Hero's World that were not controlled by players showed emotions like real humans. This made him feel uncomfortable.
How could Shi Lei complain about such a strange reason?
In the last five minutes, the number of online players in the Hero's World increased rapidly. From 11: 55 o 'clock to 56 o' clock, nearly 700,000 players had logged in.
From 56 o 'clock to 57 o' clock, nearly a million players had logged in.
In the third last minute, the number of players in the Hero's World had exceeded a million!
That's right!
In one minute, the number of players in the Hero's World had exceeded a million!
In the second last minute, the number still remained above a million!
Even Shi Lei, who was used to seeing big waves and even supernatural powers, was quite surprised.
Shi Lei had estimated that the final number of online players in the Hero's World would be 50 million.
But now?
Now, the number of online players in the Hero's World had exceeded 54 million. This was equivalent to 90% of the players online.
According to Izur's statistics, the total number of active players in the Hero's World was about 54 million. To be precise, it was about 53 million. It was still a little short of 54 million.
In other words, a portion of inactive players had also logged in to the Hero's World temporarily to support the online update.
At 11: 59 o 'clock, there was only one minute left before Dream Entertainment announced the update time!
In the last minute, the number of online players in the Hero's World continued to soar crazily, even surpassing the previous speed.
At 12 o 'clock sharp, the number of online players in the last minute was only a little more than ten people away from 2 million.
The number of online players in the Hero's World had reached 56 million!
How much computing resources could 56 million online players provide?
Most players' computer systems had about 8 Gflops to 20 Gflops of computing resources, which was 0.008 to 0.02 Tflops of computing resources.
Among them, the Hero's World only required 4 Gflops of computing resources. The computer system reserved 1 Gflops of computing resources. In other words, most players didn't provide much computing resources.
Even so, the computing resources provided by 56 million players for IWN's Secret Network were exactly the same as Shi Lei and Raphael's estimates. They reached 1,040,000 Tflops of computing resources!
1,040,000 Tflops of computing resources. That was an exaggeration!
Shi Lei looked at the figure of 1,040,000 Tflops and revealed a satisfied smile. Shi Lei's original estimate was only half of this figure.
Now that he had such a huge amount of computing resources, Shi Lei was even more confident that he could find Butler's real IP address on the Internet. It was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
"Stone Head, shall we start?" Tao Wenxian asked Shi Lei.
Shi Lei nodded. With such a huge amount of computing resources, how could Shi Lei not take action?
For Shi Lei, time was very precious.
"Izur, get ready to start the needle in a haystack plan!" Shi Lei ordered.
The process of searching for Butler's real IP address on the Internet wasn't complicated. It was just a lot of work, and they couldn't reduce the workload. They could only search one by one and send out probing messages.
It was like checking a football field of soybeans and finding the only soybean with a small triangle pattern on its surface. Was this work complicated?
Definitely not!
Was it difficult to determine if there was a small triangle pattern on the soybean's surface?
Or was it complicated?
It was just a lot of work!
A whole football field of soybeans. How much was that?
It was indeed a huge amount of work to find the only soybean with a small triangular pattern.
Right now, the work that Shi Lei and the other two were doing was actually similar to picking soybeans. They were sniffing out every IP address that existed on the Internet and probing the equipment and system information under each IP address, as well as the subnet information, to determine if it was Butler.
This work wasn't complicated at all!
It was just that the workload far exceeded that of selecting the only soybean with a small triangle pattern from a football field of soybeans.
"The needle in a haystack plan has started. The logic analysis program is starting. IWN's Secret Network computing resources have been injected. The classification system is starting!" Izur sent out a notification.
Shi Lei's needle in a haystack plan had officially started …
