A Different World Does Not Believe in Magic, but Believes in Python

[Before reading, please be sure to update your local knowledge base] To all readers/travelers who are about to enter this world: In order to prevent your brain from shutting down or cognitive confusion (commonly known as incomprehension) due to your inability to understand the local environmental parameters during the reading process, the "New World Weights and Measures White Paper V1.0" Is hereby released, as determined and released by Mr. Lin Tian, the only designated SRE (Website Reliability Engineer) for this book. Please give up those outdated things like meters and kilograms in your mind. Here, we have units that are more scientific, more elegant, and more in line with the underlying logic of the universe. If you can't learn it, it is recommended to sudo rm -rf /brain directly, reshape it and try again. 1. Regarding "How long is it?" - Unit of length: [Moment (Mat)] Stop using the fucking rice and ruler every day. Who invented it? Not intuitive at all. In this world, we use [moment]. 1 Moment (Mat) = the length of the middle section of your middle finger. Yes, now stretch it out for me to make a gesture. Isn't it very simple and harmonious? (Approximately equal to 2.5 Cm) Of course, sometimes we need more precise (or more showy) units: 1 chain = 1024 moments. Why 1024? Because I like it, 1K, understand? It's about the distance a mage flashes once. Next time don't ask how far, ask how many links. 1 Silk = 1/256 moment. 2 To the 8th power, one byte, perfect. Want to know how detailed it is? Go look at your girlfriend's (if you have one) hair, it's much thinner than that anyway. One sentence summary: When measuring length from now on, don't use a ruler, use your middle finger. 2. About "****, how much does it weigh?" - Weight unit: [Weight (Bal)] Kilogram? Pound? It just smells like the soot of the Industrial Revolution, so unmagical. Here, we use [weight] to emphasize the balance of all things. 1 Weight (Bal) = the weight of the farmer's three punches of the large bottle (one liter) you brought back from the supermarket. Got it? (Approximately 1 kg) Again, we have a finer division: 1 Rock = 1024 Hengs. The weight of a large rock is a little over a ton, which is easy to remember. Next time you describe a fat person, you can say "He may weigh more than a tenth of a rock." 1 Dust (Dust) = 1/1024 weight. The weight of a grain of dust. Buying those extremely expensive magic medicine powders is calculated based on "dust". One sentence summary: Don't ask how heavy it is, ask how many bottles of Farmer's Three Punch you can carry. 3. About "What are you looking at? Believe it or not, I will kill you with a lightning strike?" - Magic power/computing power unit: [Flow] This is the most important thing. Get me fucking notes and write them down for the final exam. Stop asking layman questions like how much mana you have, it's stupid. No matter how much mana you have, if your internet speed is not good, you are still useless. Here, we only look at [flow]. Flow = How much data bandwidth can your client download from the world server in unit time (one second). It determines how fast you can make fireballs, not how many fireballs you can make. An apprentice's bandwidth may only be 1 stream, and he can sing for a long time and hold back a small flame. The bandwidth of an archmage may be as high as 6666 streams. To instantaneously cast forbidden spells, the server has to be blocked for him. Therefore, here, the expression of strength does not depend on how long your blue bar is, but how thick your water pipe is. To sum it up in one sentence: Don't compete with others, ask them: "Brother, how many megabits of broadband does your home have?" [Supplementary Note: This book can only be read by the only designated SRE and readers with root permissions] Okay, I understand everything I need to know. Now, let's talk about the real core that you ordinary users (aboriginals) will never be able to access in their lifetime. Are you curious, since [stream] is just the internet speed, what is your blue bar or mana pool? Very simple. It is the balance of your cloud account on the world server. And this balance, we have a more precise unit to measure internally. 4. Regarding "How much money do you have left to amplify your moves?"--Energy/total calculation unit: [Core Time (CH)] You don't need to understand this unit, and you can't understand it. This is an administrator-only backend unit of measure. 1 Core-Hour = The total amount of computing resources consumed by a standard CPU core of a world server running at full load for one hour. What you call meditation is to recharge your account and increase the balance of [check time]. What you call magic crystals are prepaid point cards. Every time you cast a spell, you are using cloud computing power and consuming the [Core Time] in your account. It may take you 0.01 Core time to make a small fireball. You opened a portal, which probably took 10 core hours. Do you want to cast a world-destroying forbidden spell? First check the balance in your account to see if it is enough to bankrupt you. To summarize in one sentence: [Flow] determines how fast you can spend money, and [Core Time] determines how much money you have to lose. And I, Lin Tian, ​​not only know how to check the balance, but I can also directly change the bill. Now, do you understand? If you don't understand, just find a place to stand by yourself and don't interfere with our running the project. Okay, the white paper has been released. The above units will be fully implemented in subsequent chapters. If there is any reading discomfort caused by inconsistent units, the entire responsibility lies with you for not reading the instructions carefully. (Dog head) The final right of interpretation belongs to Mr. Lin Tian. --From a satisfied narrator who has finally finished explaining the setting.
