#42 - Section: Online ticket purchasing system launched

In the end, Cui Sheng was the first to react and ask, "Do you have any other questions?"

Everyone shook their heads, after all, Lu Haifeng had already solved all the problems they could think of.

"President Lu, when can this system go online?" Cui Sheng asked.

Lu Haifeng thought for a moment and said, "This system can go online at any time, but the efficiency is a bit slow. Everything has to be manually operated and entered. After all, it will take us a month or two to install and debug the hardware equipment."

Cui Sheng waved his hand and said豪气, "Okay, let's start full speed ahead. President Lu, if you need anything, just tell us directly. We will try our best to cooperate and strive to get everything online in the short term so that our people can catch up with the dividends of technology."

A deputy director suggested, "Director Cui, should we run a trial first? For example, select three or four lines to run and see how it goes."

Lu Haifeng also echoed, "I think Director Wang is right. It still needs to be tested in practice. Let's experiment for two days. I will take the employees to stay in the Railway Building for these two days. Even if an accident occurs, we can quickly solve it. It's not too late to go online together after the trial run is over."

Soon, the day for the trial run of the ticket booking system arrived. Lu Haifeng woke up very early today and went to the company after a simple wash.

He took the technical staff to the railway department. After all, today's matter was too important. It could be said that it was related to the company's reputation. If it was done well, Huaxing Data Center would have no rivals in the road of future development. After all, not many people dared to take on this project. If it was done badly, there would be no future.

Now, the news that the railway department is re-launching online ticket purchases is causing a stir on the Internet, and netizens are also discussing it.

"In another half an hour, I will be able to buy tickets online to go home for the Lantern Festival. It's really incredible to think about it."

"Yeah, I can't even imagine it. How did it suddenly go online again?"

"What I'm more curious about is how much money the railway department invested this time."

"I guess tens of millions."

"The guy upstairs wants to eat fart, tens of millions is not even enough to buy a server."

"I'm a little worried, won't it crash again like that time?"

"I don't think so. Didn't it log in an hour later last time? And there have never been any problems since then."

"That's right, we should believe in the strength of our country."

"I heard my second aunt's little uncle's cousin's third sister-in-law's cousin say: "It seems that the railway department has introduced a super awesome technology this time, saying that only the other side of the ocean has this technology."

"Then it's over, our railway department must have been slaughtered again, probably billions."

"I feel sorry for my railway. When you say this, I have the urge to hammer the beautiful country."

"Count me in. How much blood and sweat have they earned from us over the years? I feel a little sad. When will our great country have its own top talent and not be controlled by others?"

"That's right, now Internet companies only know how to plagiarize, and the money is earned by foreign capital."

Unlike the netizens who were talking about it, Lu Haifeng brought the technical staff to the railway department.

Cui Sheng and several other leaders greeted them at the door.

Lu Haifeng quickly walked up and said politely, "Director Cui, thank you for coming out to greet us personally."

"It should be, please come inside," Cui Sheng said with a smile.

Lu Haifeng nodded, and Cui Sheng led everyone to the command center. There were still 5 minutes until nine o'clock, and train tickets in North and Central China could be purchased. Everyone stared nervously at the big screen.

Finally, at nine o'clock sharp

Tens of millions of users instantly poured into the railway ticketing system, and this data continued to grow.

Suddenly, someone shouted excitedly, "We successfully sold the first ticket from He Province to Yanjing at 9:00:10!"

Someone else reported: "We successfully sold 12,578 train tickets within one minute!"

"What about the payment situation?" Cui Sheng asked quickly, the payment aspect was even more serious last time it went online.

"It's all paid for."

"Is there any sign of a crash?" Cui Sheng asked again.

"No, and it's very stable."

"That's great, we succeeded!"

"I now understand what it means for technology to change lives."

"That's right, we let the people also experience the dividends of technology."

At this moment, everyone cried with joy. For the outside world's doubts and incomprehension.

The railway department has actually been seeking technological progress, but in the public eye, 12307 always presents a negative image, which is greatly related to the poor user experience of 12306.

The outside world does not understand that Ali's transaction volume is larger than that of the railway department, but they can do it, but what about the railway department?

In fact, this is already the best that the Ali team can do. Although Ali's transaction volume is large, the dispersion of its system architecture is relatively high.

The correlation between each order is not large; while every time 12307 issues a ticket, it has to update the data on the entire line, so the system load is much more concentrated than Ali, and directly moving Ali's plan will not help.

Ali's e-commerce identity determines that it can disperse the pressure by deploying a large number of servers, while the application type of 12307 is relatively simple. It is not that 12307 does not want to purchase more servers, but that it is useless for 12307 to deploy more servers. It can only be solved through technology.

Cui Sheng looked at the big screen with red eyes. Only he himself knew how much grievance he had suffered in the past few years. He never thought that he would realize his dream for many years today.

Cui Sheng cleared his throat and said loudly, "Comrades, we are witnessing a miracle today, and we also understand the power of technology. We must remember this moment, this moment from 0 to 1."

"From the beginning, we had no technology at all. We groped all the way, and now we support tens of millions of people buying tickets at the same time. This also witnesses that our development is rapid and keeps pace with the times."

"Today will also be a new beginning for our railway department. Here, I would like to thank every railway worker. It is everyone's efforts that have made today's miracle."
