Top Student: Experience Infinite Occupations-Chapter 265 - Setback for the Iceman Project
265 Setback for the Iceman Project
Divine Dragon Software Company, Li Chengqian’s private studio.
At this moment, a map similar to the one at the Academy of Sciences was displayed on the big screen.
Areas in green represented the equipment installed with the Divine Dragon System.
On the map, other than the uninhabited areas, there were green spots everywhere. Some places had more green spots, some had less.
Even in Northern Han, there were still a lot of green spots flashing. It was just that the density was not as high as elsewhere.
In Northern Han, there was another number, 13.54 million!
This was the number of all the equipment in Northern Han that had installed the Divine Dragon System.
It was about half of all the computers in Northern Han.
In other words, although the Divine Dragon System could no longer be used in Northern Han, half of the people were still waiting for the Divine Dragon System to return to normal use.
‘Why?’
This was because replacing the system with the Windows ROM system was very expensive!
The price of the Windows ROM system was 2,000 yuan!
For everyone, this was not a small sum.
Moreover, they had just bought the right to use the Divine Dragon System for a year. They had just paid the money not long ago. Many people were unwilling to spend money to change the system now.
Many people were prepared to wait and see.
In the Kangaroo Plains area, the branch domain name resolution server had been shut down for three days. Originally, 9.85 million computers had installed the Divine Dragon System. After three days, only 7.3 million of these computers did not switch operating systems.
Moreover, in the past two days, there were huge demonstrations and conflict in the Kangaroo Plains because of the issue of the branch domain name resolution server.
In the past two days, the officials of the Kangaroo Plains were struggling with the issues and they weren’t able to take proactive actions.
There were a lot of discussions on the internet regarding the change of the branch domain name resolution server operating system in the Kangaroo Plains.
“Sunset is going to be serious this time!”
“Northern Han, Kangaroo Plains… The Sunset is taking back the position that the Divine Dragon had painstakingly conquered.”
“The Iceman Project is about to go bankrupt!”
“The Divine Dragon System is incompatible with the previous IP protocols. It only supports the Iceman Project! This time, I suffered a huge loss! If I were Li Chengqian, I would immediately update the system and make the Divine Dragon system compatible with the previous IP protocols. This way, even if the Iceman Project fails, at least we will still have the operating system.”
“@Li Chengqian, the Iceman Project will definitely fail. There’s no need for us to fail with the Iceman Project.”
Not only the normal netizens, but even many famous people in the industry were also suggesting that Li Chengqian be compatible with Sunset’s IP protocol.
However, all the messages @Li Chengqian went unanswered. There was no response at all.
In the studio, Li Chengqian was heartbroken when he saw the number of installations on the Kangaroo Plains decrease by two million.
Two million units could bring in 200 million yuan annually to the Divine Dragon Software Company.
But now, because of Sunset’s strategy, the annual income of 200 million yuan was gone! Google search 𝗳𝔯e𝒆𝙬𝘦𝙗𝓷o𝘷el. c૦𝑚
“I’ll let you guys enjoy this first. Soon, you’ll know how powerful I am.” Li Chengqian knew that if he wanted Sunset to fall into the trap he had set up, there was a price to pay.
Just then, Li Chengqian’s phone rang.
Li Chengqian picked up his phone and saw that it was a call from Academician Lin Qu. He muttered to himself, “It’s about time, the time is right! This call came at the right time!”
Then, Li Chengqian picked up the phone. “Academician Lin Qu, hello!”
“Li Chengqian, I’ve already communicated with the higher-ups.” Academician Lin Qu’s voice was very low. He was a little depressed because of the conversation he had with the higher-ups.
This was because the higher-ups have analyzed that Sunset was going to snatch the domain name service back at all costs.
Sunset was very determined this time.
The Divine Dragon… was no match for Sunset this time.
The probability of the Iceman Project failing was more than 90%!
It was because of this result that Academician Lin Qu was unhappy.
“The higher-ups told me to tell you that they saw your support. The country thanks you!”
“There’s a high chance that the Iceman Project will fail this time.”
“You don’t have to hang in there together with us!”
“Modify the code immediately and update the system to make the Divine Dragon System compatible with Sunset’s IP protocol.”
“To minimize the losses of the Divine Dragon Software Company.”
“This time, even if we lose the position that the Iceman Project planned to occupy, as long as the operating system share obtained by the Divine Dragon Software Company is maintained, it will be a great victory for Divine Dragon.” Academician Lin Qu conveyed the message from the higher-ups.
“Academician Lin Qu, if I announce the compatibility IP agreement now, I’ll be undermining you. No, I can’t…”
Before Li Chengqian could finish speaking, Academician Lin Qu interrupted him and said seriously, “Li Chengqian, the higher-ups have long expected you to say this. They also asked me to tell you this.”
“They said—”
“Li Chengqian, this is an order! You must maintain your share of the operating system. This is our national interest!”
“Since it’s the highest order of the country, I’ll carry it out immediately!” Li Chengqian’s lips curled into a smile. In fact, he had been waiting for this sentence.
“Alright, time is of the essence. I won’t say much. Hurry up! We’ll try our best to delay for you, but there’s not much time left!” Academician Lin Qu’s tone was extremely serious.
After he ended the call with Academician Lin Qu, Li Chengqian looked at the big screen.
The map on the big screen disappeared and Bai Ze appeared on the big screen.
“Bai Ze, send the announcement to everyone through the information push system of the Divine Dragon System!” Li Chengqian instructed.
When the branch domain name resolution server system switched in the Kangaroo Plains, Li Chengqian had already prepared an announcement.
Now that the test of the Kangaroo Plains was over and the higher-ups have agreed.
It was time for the announcement to be released.
The announcement was very simple.
It was to inform all users that the Divine Dragon Software Company was in the process of developing a system update to make the System compatible with the IP protocol of Sunset. Soon, the update would be pushed.
After the update, even if the branch domain name resolution server is replaced with a Windows ROM system.
The Divine Dragon System could still be used normally.
This announcement would be seen by every user who had installed the Divine Dragon System through the internal message push of the Divine Dragon System.
This news would also spread along with this announcement.
“Yes, Master!”
“Due to time differences, it’s estimated that it will take 24 hours to complete the push.” Bai Ze’s cold voice sounded.
“It doesn’t matter. Let’s post it on our official website first!” Li Chengqian said calmly.
“Yes, Master!”
Soon, the announcement appeared on the most eye-catching spot on the official website of Divine Dragon Software Company.
News released by the Divine Dragon Software Company had always been followed by many people. When this announcement appeared on the website, it was immediately reposted by the internet media and it went viral.
In just an hour, the announcement was trending.
“The Divine Dragon Software Company has finally come to their senses!”
“As long as the Divine Dragon Software Company’s network system is compatible with Sunset’s IP protocol, Windows won’t be able to do anything!”
“Compared to the Divine Dragon System, Windows, Apple, and Linux are just a pile of shit.”
“That’s right. Hurry up and develop it. Hurry up and update!”
“I want to ask, how should we update the branch domain name resolution server system?”
“Are you guys stupid? Let’s update whatever we can update first.”
“Now, there are only two countries and regions that have changed their branch domain name resolution server. It won’t affect much!”
“I think the situation is getting more and more serious. The Iceman Project might not be able to hold its ground! As long as the operating system is updated in time to be compatible with the IP protocol, it shouldn’t be a problem.”
“Even if we can’t obtain control of the domain name resolution service, we have to occupy the market share of the operating system and make Windows, Apple, Google, and other companies obsolete.”
