I have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World - Chapter 1294 - Galaxy Edge Launched!

On May 30th, with much-anticipated expectations, Galaxy Edge’s icon officially appeared in the list of Phantom applications. The icon was available after the application was preloaded.

Based on the statistics of the Future Technology Operation Department, in less than an hour after the preload was made available, more than 50 million users preloaded the game and entered Galaxy Edge through their Phantom helmet or VR game cabin.

Future Technology was under extreme load due to the high amount of traffic. It responded by urgently adding a quantum computer as a server to alleviate the download demand.

Fortunately, the signals of the 32 quantum communication satellites already covered all continents except for Antarctica. Otherwise, the huge data transmission may create another headache for Future Technology.

In less than two hours, the number of preloaded users easily exceeded the 100 million mark, and the number still increased at an exponential rate.

By noon, the number of users already reached an incredible 300 million. It was only till now did the upward trend ease. By the end of the preloading in the early hours of the day, the number of preloaded users worldwide reached an astounding 500 million!

It seemed that there was no suspense for Galaxy Edge to break the record set by Godly World.

However, for game designers, their tensed mind could not be rested before they witnessed this moment in person.

…

The night outside the window was dark, but the meeting room on the 50th floor of the Future Building was still lit.

This meeting room was now occupied by the staff of the Galaxy Edge Project Department.

Dozens of executives and technical backbones of the planning group, operation group, and technical support group were sitting in front of the conference table. They nervously stared at the large holographic screen in front of the conference room.

An hour after the end of the preload, that was, at 1 am on May 31st, Galaxy Edge would officially launch, and all the eager players would flood into the game world they built.

At that time, could the number of simultaneous online people break through the record set by the Godly World, and would their project create new glories for Future Technology. All the questions would be answered at that instant.

Become a joke or become a legend; it was decided in this very moment!

The project director went to the open window, and lit his twelfth cigarette for the day, which had reset its counter when the clock turned to twleve in midnight. The leader of the planning team rubbed his fingers repeatedly and circled around the conference room. The head of the operations had been to the toilet for the seventh time because he almost drank all the coffee in the conference room …

Even the CEO of Future Technology, the veteran Ning Huajian who had come all the way from Wanghai with Jiang Chen, also stood in this 50-square-meter conference room and accompanied his staff through this nervous and exciting moment.

Finally, the clock on the wall of the conference room acrossed the one-clock moment.

Almost instantly, the number on the holographic screen jumped from zero to ten million.

Everyone’s heart pumped violently when that number changed.

But this was just the beginning.

In just one minute, that number doubled.

Everyone’s heart jumped to their throat and never came down!

“20 million! The number of online users exceeded 20 million in one minute!”

“The number of simultaneous online users exceeded 50 million! It took five minutes!”

“One hundred million! One hundred million! We broke the record!” The leader of the operation group exclaimed, igniting the emotions of everyone in the meeting.

Record-breaking!

The legend that Godly World once created had been rewritten by their records!

The number of online users on Galaxy Edge easily exceeded 100 million, and at this moment, the momentum was leaping toward 110 million.

“Server 1 is running normally, turn on Server 2! Now!” The leader of the technical team called the technician in the server room, and his calm voice trembled with excitement.

Enthusiasm was written all over his face, and when he saw the line on the holographic screen, the rock in Ning Huajian’s heart finally dropped.

He looked at his subordinates who were still fighting in their position and encouraged everyone in the room with a thrilled tone.

“Focus, let’s not fall asleep now!”

“Haha, who can sleep? This is more refreshing than analgesic oil!”

“…”

Lilith, who was on the sofa in the living room, was also closely following the numbers.

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 this game.

Jiang Chen sat next to her and looked at the constantly growing number from the holographic screen hovering above her hand.

An hour had passed.

After the number of players broke through the 300 million mark, the increase had slowed down.

When this number reached 350 million, Jiang Chen was both impressed and moved by this number.

“Our game has more people online than the third most populous country in the world.”

“That’s the data from four years ago. If you look at the latest population data, 350 million can be ranked in the top five in the world …” Lilith corrected Jiang Chen with her usual emotionless state as a stream of data appeared in her eyes. Jiang Chen saw her look up slightly before she suddenly said, “A cyber attack was detected.”

“Cyber attack?” Jiang Chen looked away from the holographic screen, and began to yawn due to sleepiness before he casually said, “… get him.”

“I’ve already started.”

Future Technology’s sheer size now meant that it would attract countless attention, both positive and negative. Jiang Chen was not surprised that some people would have ill-intentions on such a crucial day.

He was not even surprised, let alone being worried.

Not to mention that Lilith was sitting next to him. Even without this advanced artificial intelligence, the cybersecurity team of Future Technology could not be easily taken down by some second-tier attackers.

“That’s it, the target terminal has exploded.” A death sentence was issued lightly to the computer of the unscrupulous hacker, and Lilith continued expressionlessly. “Their actual coordinates have been detected… Should we send a ‘Peace Ambassador’?”

“No need, thank you!”

Looking at the expressionless Lilith, Jiang Chen subconsciously glanced at the direction of the study.

He locked his suitcase there, and the nuclear button inside it was enough to destroy the world twice.

“I’m just making a suggestion,” Lilith shrugged and said in a rare joking tone. “You know, no matter how powerful computer technology is, it’s impossible to break through physical isolation.”

“If you make that joke again, I’ll send you back!”

Jiang Chen glared at Lilith, speechless, and the latter opened her expression system and made a scared expression.

However, Jiang Chen knew very well that this girl had absolutely no intention of introspection.

It was really troublesome for the program to have thoughts and feelings.

However, even Jiang Chen himself was surprised that compared to his original view, his current view on advanced artificial intelligence had been slightly changed because of Lilith’s existence…
