Chapter 711 Principles of Computer Network Communications



“…That’s probably the pattern.”

[I only understand a little bit] I don’t know if this is an assessment of myself or something else, but no matter how I think about it, it’s not right to explain the principles of computer communication in a fantasy world.

Moreover, [Only Know a Little Bit] is not really good at this aspect. Although he has studied this course in college, he did not go into it in depth afterwards. In most cases, popular science is a qualitative interpretation of concepts. After all, if you read out those detailed numbers and formula calculations in the video, it will definitely scare away most of the audience.

But it seems that this wizard is definitely not someone who can be dealt with by simple science explanations.

"…So, in the network, every, uh, device is a node that can store knowledge and transmit it to other devices?"

Jost was still not used to this modern vocabulary, and he muttered to himself.

"The original network was indeed designed this way, but most of the ones we use now still rely on the server model, where data is stored on the server and then transferred when needed."

【I only understand a little bit】explained.

"So, is it actually possible to store all knowledge online and pray for it when needed?"

Jost felt as if he understood something.

"Of course you can, but it requires a very fast internet speed, that is, the communication speed between the server and the device. If the speed is too slow and the response is not timely, it will be very difficult to use."

【Only understand a little bit】glanced at Lu Ban.

Is this guy really going to test players' knowledge of this kind in the game?

But if you think about it carefully, this game is so realistic that if a real-life wilderness survival master or construction expert came over, maybe they could really complete the land reclamation faster.

"If you want specifics, I can look them up some time."

[I only understand a little bit] This is the only answer I can give.

"Okay, you can check it out when you have time."

Lu Ban asked the other party to leave, but before leaving, he thought about it again.

"My Lord Baron, let him stay here and help Jost with his research."

"sure."

Baron Jello listened to what the player said just now. To be honest, he didn't understand it. He just felt that it was very powerful.

It seems that each of these players is quite capable. As the lord here, he even has a sense of crisis. If this group of people unite, it will be easy to hang him.

Just seeing Jost looking so energetic, Baron Jello felt that it was all worth it.

"Uh, [I only know a little bit], I will now appoint you as my advisor and grant you the title of knight."

He placed his hand on the player's shoulder and performed a simple awarding ceremony.

[I only know a little bit] I don’t understand etiquette, but I feel like I’m more powerful.

"From the Knights..."

He left the house and logged off immediately.

After taking off his helmet, the science popularizer said nothing and just posted a status.

[This is awesome! I was asked to answer a few questions and ended up being a knight. This game is too powerful! ]

After posting the status, he immediately went online to search for relevant knowledge about computer networks, preparing to give the wizard some extra lessons.

At the same time, he also looked through the content posted by other players while they were offline waiting to recharge.

[Fuck, this game is so exciting. I went with a few people to challenge the monsters in the forest, and ended up being killed for the whole afternoon. It was so exciting, but I don’t know why, I still want to give it away]

[I saw someone helping others farm and getting rewards. Is the hidden quest line in this game really that complicated? ]

[Let me tell you, [The Conjuring] is simply weaker than this game. The light, the water, and the soil are totally not on the same level!]

[I spent the whole afternoon farming in the game, but I still feel unsatisfied. What should I do? Don’t ask me to come back, I still want to farm! ]

[I studied the information about the Kingdom of Darkness. This time point is a bit special. I guess we can’t even become mages. The Gray Tower may not even be built yet. Our main storyline should be fighting against the demon tide, but we don’t even have magic. How can we fight against those monsters?]

[Are we going to help build the Gray Tower? ]

[Fuck, now that you put it like that, it feels epic.]

[Only understand a little bit] Looking at their comments, the vast majority of players are still trying to figure out how to play the game.

Most games will tell you what to do, and even in simpler games you can only do what the planner tells you to do.

Most open world games are very free, and sandbox games are even more so.

In this kind of game, some players will feel lost and don't know what to do. It seems that they can do everything, but they don't want to do anything.

Free expression is much more difficult than writing a composition based on a given topic.

The biggest problem here is actually feedback.

In a world that is too open, the feedback from players' actions is very small. After playing the game for a while, players find that they seem to have gained nothing and find it difficult to continue. Or the feedback they receive is too monotonous, which can also lead to fatigue.

Some players are very adaptable to this style and will find things to do on their own. Even when they play games normally, these players like to study and find unique ways to play. They will think that this game is really fun.

This is also one of the reasons why open world games are polarized. People who like them love them very much and can spend thousands of hours in the game, while people who don’t like them find it boring after playing for ten minutes and get a refund.

But to [only a little bit of knowledge], these are all excuses.

As long as the game is fun, it's fun even if it's just peeing in the sand.

If the game is boring, no matter how good the graphics are or how high the degree of freedom is, it will not be fun.

After getting the information ready, [Only Knows a Little] immediately put on his helmet and returned to the game.

He appeared in the yard of the Baron's mansion and saw chickens raised in the yard.

He immediately moved away, fearing that the whole town would come after him if he stepped on a chicken.

[Only Know a Little] When he walked into the room, he found that Jost was still studying computer networks seriously. Just as he was about to speak, he saw the young wizard raised his head and looked at him.

"You've come just in time. Regarding what you just said, I have an idea. That is to make every device connected to the network, such as a mage, as a node. Everyone will bear a certain amount of pollution, and everyone can gain knowledge. In this way, the more people join the magic network, the more pollution can be shared. What do you think of this?"

Jost asked excitedly.

"ah?"

[I only understand a little bit] The documents that I just read flashed quickly in my mind.

What the mage just talked about was the concept of distributed cloud computing?

How long has it been???
