Chapter 754 Mysterious Island
Isolated island, loneliness, mysterious stone statues...
When many people hear the legendary Easter Island, they probably think of a group of giant human statues that exist here, which is also one of the most bizarre and puzzling landscapes in the world.
Stepping onto this fertile land, Bifang was deeply touched.
The seasons in the Southern Hemisphere are opposite to those in the Northern Hemisphere. April in the Northern Hemisphere is a warm and pleasant spring, while on Easter Island it is autumn. The temperature is slightly cooler and is still getting colder, adding a cool tone to Easter Island.
But compared to the local giant stone statues, Bifang is more concerned about whether there are suitable trees for making boats on the island.
After jumping off the car, Bifang's feet sank into the soft soil. Weeds squeezed out from the cracks, and the air was filled with a natural and unique plant fragrance.
After taking the photo, the boss who provided free rides stepped on the accelerator and drove away without disturbing Bifang, leaving Bifang alone facing the grassland-like Easter Island.
The sea breeze blew, and the green grass on the entire island bent down.
Taking a deep breath to expel the waste gas in his chest, Bifang walked forward several hundred meters, found a suitable location, put down his backpack, unzipped it, took out the drone, and let it automatically float in the sky.
A minute later, followers around the world received a push notification on their phones or computers.
After three months, Bifang’s live broadcast has begun!
A huge number of people poured into the server through the network cable. The huge surge even caused a brief lag, which returned to normal after a few seconds.
An old employee of Langya's technical department calmly drank a sip of coffee, put the cup on the table, and operated to connect more servers. After it was stable, he picked it up and took another sip, squinting slightly.
He had seen such scenes many times and it was not surprising at all.
It’s not that we are not prepared, but that we cannot be prepared.
Millions of people are pouring in all of a sudden , and anyone would be stuck.
When there were more than 100,000 people in the past, the technical department could still struggle, but later it completely failed and had to use servers to balance during peak hours.
It feels a bit like a huge loss to set up a server just for Bifang.
After all, the time when Bifang is not broadcasting is longer than the time when it is broadcasting, and it is not good for the machine if it is left unused, so except for a short period of lag at the beginning, there is basically no impact.
"Kid, learn this. You have a lot to learn from this server call."
The old employee spoke confidently to the intern standing beside him, with a strong tone.
Thinking about how Langya was declining two years ago and he was almost laid off, and how he was now mentoring the younger generation and his salary was rising steadily, he suddenly felt proud.
The poster on the Langya homepage slowly opened in the middle like a curtain.
The waves on the left are surging and merciless, the dust on the right is flying all over the sky, and the giant portrait in the middle is revealed like a scroll.
"April 5, 1722, was Easter in the West. It was not only of great significance to religious people, but also a very special first day for Jacob Roggeveen, an explorer of the Dutch West India Company. On this day, the Pacific expedition consisting of three ships led by him discovered another small island in the Polynesian Islands."
Before the canvas was fully unfolded, a familiar voice sounded.
"Although the residents of the island called their island Rapa Nui, it didn't matter to the Westerners who dominated the world at that time. From then on, the world knew that this island was called Easter Island. Yes, it is the huge island under my feet now."
The scroll was finally fully unfolded, the camera turned, and a familiar figure came into view. Bifang put on his backpack again and gave a familiar two-finger salute to the camera.
"Hello everyone, I'm Bifang, a professional explorer, long time no see."
【The missing people return! 】
[Boss Fang finally remembered his wolf tooth password]
[It’s been three months. Do you know how I spent these three months?! ]
[Wow, there has been no live broadcast for a quarter of a year, but hundreds of thousands of people watched it as soon as it started. Only Lao Fang can get such treatment, right? ]
[Woo woo woo, familiar people, familiar faces, familiar wilderness, sorry brothers, I'll charge first to show my respect! ]
[No way, sir, this can be rushed? ]
[Um, didn’t you guys watch the episode of Stealth Pursuit that aired two weeks ago? Fang Shen was in it.]
[Stealth tracking? What is that? ]
[Eh, I think I've heard of it. Is it some kind of reality show?]
[Fuck, Lao Fang, when did you participate in the reality show? How come I didn’t know about it? ]
" About a month ago, it just ended last week." Bifang glanced at the comments and explained casually, "The domestic audience may not know about it yet, but the foreign audience should have seen it. It seems that the finale will be released in two days, right?"
[Damn it, Master Fang, you don’t love us and didn’t even inform us]
"I notified you and posted it once on social media, but you didn't seem to pay much attention."
After hearing this, many netizens quickly looked up Bifang's updates, from domestic to foreign, and then back again, to confirm that Bifang did not secretly open any smurf account behind their backs.
Indeed, I have said that!
[Do you call posting a status and then not sending any updates for a month "promotion"? ]
[“Leaving for Los Angeles to participate in “Undercover”, hoping to win the grand prize.” A total of 18 words, not even an accompanying picture, you are good.]
[Go find resources here]

Although there had been no live broadcast for three months, Bifang and the audience did not seem unfamiliar. The atmosphere in the live broadcast room soon became lively, and the number of viewers increased.
After clearing the dirt from the bottom of the backpack, Bifang walked towards the center of Easter Island with the backpack on his back.
"I know everyone is very curious about the content of my live broadcast this time. The poster provided by Langya must have made everyone very confused. But let's not rush and continue with the previous topic."
Bifang paused and continued with the topic of his self-introduction at the beginning.
"The island did not interest the Dutch explorer at the time. This small island of more than 100 square kilometers was formed by the eruption of three nearby volcanoes. There were more than 2,000 indigenous people living on the island. There were grasslands, no tall trees, and no rare treasures."
"It had been more than 200 years since the Age of Exploration. Portugal, Spain, Central America, the Netherlands, and France had already plundered many colonies in Africa and the Americas. These colonies had already formed stable and mature interest groups, such as growing cash crops, buying and selling slaves, etc."
"As a small island isolated in the Pacific Ocean, Easter Island was only a resting place for the colonists. It had no other use."
"After staying there for a week, killing 12 Easter Islanders including the chief, and wandering around the island, the expedition team set out on a new journey."
"But what they don't know is that this island has another name - the mysterious island."
