Chapter 30: Recent Forum Ecology
The quiet night is a rare day without rain in the past few days. Although there are still a lot of clouds, occasionally you can still see the starry sky behind through the clouds, so Lin set up the monocular astronomical telescope that was built after all the hard work.
On the days of stargazing, the two young apprentices would take turns brewing a pot of purple bell flower tea and bringing it to the stargazing platform on the third floor. It is a drink from the elves, known as refreshing.
In fact, be it tea or coffee from Earth, they are not of the same grade at all. Lin drinks the same as drinking water. It's just that there is no tea or coffee here now, and as a heavy caffeine addict, nothing is better than nothing.
The one who came up today was a brown-skinned girl with black hair, with two long braids hanging on her shoulders, and there was still no emotion on her face. According to the previous classification as a two-dimensional house, this is a girl without a mouth.
Just when she came up, Lin Huan put down the cup after taking the first sip of tea, and asked, "Have the guests who came today settled down?"
The girl who stood aside and was not instructed to leave replied flatly: "Everything is settled, teacher. They will spend the night in the restaurant, but they are all on the forum now." The terminal equipment used by the **** for compensation has not been removed. Sometimes the two girls also use it, but now it's free for guests.
"──The others take turns bathing in the open-air hot springs. Harumi told them the rules."
Thinking of what happened in the afternoon, Lin asked, "Kaya, are you following the news on the forum?"
"Yes, teacher. I think it's quite interesting to read the news from various places in the chat area. Is this inappropriate?" The girl would ask this, because teachers really hate going to the forum.
Although he didn't explain it clearly in front of his apprentices, Lin never opened the forum page, and concentrated on coding and debugging during the day, and stargazing at night. On rainy nights, work continues during the day.
Another apprentice, Harumi, has a restless temper. Apart from her daily homework and meditation time, she just runs wild outside with her two dogs. Basically, when she opened the forum, she could only look at the discussion area dedicated to the Tower of the Great Sage, where there were homework assigned by Lin and teaching materials for self-study.
So Kaya felt uneasy about spending a lot of time on the forum. However, Lin did not blame the girl. Instead, he opened the terminal on the observatory, opened a screen similar to a calendar, and said, "Go and download this software later. If you find something interesting in the future, copy the content to This notepad. It is preset to use chronological order, but it needs to input the names and places. There are special items mentioned in the matter, which can also be marked. If you need to query in the future, it will be much more convenient to use this software. You use it first, and tell me if there are any problems. You can modify it. In short, you remember that if you want to keep things as records, you should focus on five items, that is, personnel, time, land and objects. It’s free, it’s something to pass the time. Don’t force it, you still focus on your apprenticeship.”
Listening to her teacher's explanation, Kaya nodded while operating. Finally, she asked, "Can I tell Hallumi about this?"
From the past, Lin had told the two girls the importance of keeping things secret. The original intention was to target outsiders, but the girl still asked about this kind of separate account. Regarding this, Lin had nothing to say: "It's okay to tell Harumi, she can help if she wants. It's just that I think she can't bear to do these things."
After thinking about it, Kaya seriously nodded in agreement with the teacher's statement.
After the explanation was over, Lin was curious about another matter, and asked, "Is there anything about me mentioned on the forum. It doesn't matter whether it's good or bad, just talk about it and listen to it."
As for her teacher's request, Kaya tilted her head and thought for a while before saying: "There is not much related to the teacher, and the most important thing is to focus on the few magics that have been announced. Although everyone can use them, the structure behind them seems to be different. No one can change it yet.──”
Although the Lost World is protected by patents, there are still some loopholes. Just like every time a very practical and popular magic knowledge is announced, it won't take long for more revised magic to be announced, vying for the market for selling magic knowledge. For example, it is said that the casting speed is faster, the power is greater, the duration is longer, and the mana consumption is less. As long as there is a slight change, someone will put their surname on it and hand it over to the association.
Fortunately, the association still has some conscience. For magicians who want to learn this knowledge, they will still tell which is the most original starting magic, and will not strongly recommend those modified magic. In addition to really getting a wide range of good reviews, it is possible to mention it incidentally. Of course, if the person who created the initial magic is too unpopular, it is also common to be put on small shoes.
"─The most people complain is that they want to set up their own forums, but they can't use them. They have studied a lot of explanation documents, but they seem to have no results. Many people criticized whether the teacher provided fake data or not fully released it. In the end, the president came forward to clarify for the teacher, explaining the hierarchical relationship of the domain name. He also said that the three magics of the teacher, the structure behind them is comparable to the magic of the forbidden curse level, and the learning difficulty is only high, which makes people question The noise has subsided slightly. But there are still a lot of dissatisfied people."
"Isn't this nonsense. In the online world, there is only one DNS for root, and the browser should first look for the Tower of the Great Sage. Others want to use root to play, unless they are playing by themselves, they have to change the browser Settings. If you want to use it on a large scale, obediently register with the upper-level domain name server."
"However, in order to prove his words, the president has established an exclusive forum for the Xijia District Branch on the server. He also compels all branch affairs to be carried out on the exclusive forum. Including the magic knowledge online plan, it is also implemented on the exclusive forum. .And the magic knowledge on the original forum went online, and the speed of increase slowed down. But in the chat area that visitors can also use, there are not many people."
Lin was not surprised by this. In the conversations with the chairman in the past, he could somewhat feel the strength of the other party's control over power, and he was definitely unwilling to put important information about the branch where he could not grasp it.
However, the most important wealth of the forum is people, not the amount of knowledge. The latter is just an addition to attracting popularity, and the most important thing is the crowd effect between people. And Lin very kindly set the homepage of the browser to the most original forum page, and did not provide a method for others to change the homepage setting. So when you open the browser and see the forum page, how many people will take the initiative to enter the URL and enter the forum deployed by others.
In addition, the people who use the forum now are not just the magicians in Xijia District. There are also groups of adventurers, nobles, businessmen, etc. These people will not be called by the association to change the interpersonal environment they are used to. Not to mention that the two interfaces are exactly the same, there is no more convenience, and there is no other incentive. Therefore, the popularity of the original forum is higher than that of the Xijia district branch forum, which is a conceivable result.
After getting a general understanding of the current network ecology, Lin didn't intend to go any further. Instead, Kaya asked: "Teacher, do you want to respond to those who scold you?"
"Girl, remember. The thing in this world that wastes your life more than being in a daze is responding to non-intellectual discussions with people on the Internet. Because they have their own opinions, and you can't change them in a few lines. Even For academic discussions, if the other party comes here with the intention of kicking the gym, then no amount of words will be enough to reply. If it is face-to-face, if you can’t convince the other party, you can still beat the other party until the other party is convinced. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com On the Internet, you You need to blow the air. So ignore them and do your own thing."
Seriously speak out about my years of surfing the Internet. Lin waved his hand and refocused on his own affairs. Recently, I have been racking my brains, thinking about how to improve the accuracy of a spectrum analyzer without electronic parts. He casually said to the girl behind him: "Okay, there is nothing else, you can go down. You can go to the console to download the software just now. If you have nothing to do, go to rest early."
Regarding the permission setting of the Magic Tower, Lin did not restrict the two girls too much. Firstly, it's unnecessary, and secondly, I don't think anyone will use their authority to do bad things. Because of the control functions of many magic towers, Lin has long since gotten rid of the traditional way of the Lost World, and instead used the thinking from the earth to design.
There is no special instruction on how to use these things, and the natives who are lost in the land probably won't be able to figure it out when they first come into contact with it.
But the girl did not leave immediately after being instructed. Instead, she looked at the things that Lin Zheng was busy with. Although she couldn't understand them, but her teacher had been touching them all day long, she still asked, "Teacher, do you need help?"
"Help?" Lin turned his head to look at Kaya, followed her eyes to see the simple spectrometer in his hand, couldn't help but smile, and said, "You can't help me with these. First focus on what magic apprentices should be familiar with. If you really want to help me, it will be after you become a formal magician."
"Understood." After finishing speaking, Kaya left quietly.
In the early morning of the next day, after the group of red-eyed people who looked like they couldn't get enough sleep left after sending away the Radiant Sword, Lin Yuan thought that his original peaceful life would resume. Unexpectedly, the Radiant Sword Adventure Group was like a beginning. In the following days, the Tower of the Great Sage welcomed guests from time to time.
