It's very forward-looking to be able to release this kind of thing ahead of authentic game console manufacturers, Cao Chang regretted thinking, if it weren't for Dr. Yu's wrong market positioning, there would be no Nintendo in the future.

However, since it is in his own hands, he must not let go of the opportunity to carry it forward, and if he does not take it, he will be blamed.

There was another development point, and Cao Changjiu almost jumped up excitedly: "Doctor, when will we start, I'm about to hold back my fault." Pointing to this VideoBrain, "That's it, this is a ready-made game console, and writing a few games is a big business opportunity." ”

"Not well, if you want to say that a family can buy a computer for $1,500, no one will buy a game console for thousands of dollars. Dr. Yu felt that Cao's proposal was a bit ridiculous.

"Your machine is so bleak because of the unclear positioning, as a computer, its hardware functions are not used, as a game console, it has no game software!" Cao Changchang saw it clearly, "Redesign, try to simplify, all the unnecessary functions are removed, as long as you can play, if you can reduce the price to less than $120, there will definitely be a show." ”

"Just kidding, how can it be so cheap, even if it's so compressed, how can it be profitable to sell this thing?"

"Machines are not profitable, or even lose money, but we can sell game software, and first occupy the market share, even if a machine buys a piece of software, it is enough to make money." While thinking about the market strategy of the game hardware vendor in his dreams, he persuaded Dr. Yu, "The more people who use the machine, the more people will develop the game, and the more people will buy the game, which in turn can attract more people to buy the machine, don't you think this is enough?"

"The float effect?" Dr. Yu thought, "This can also be considered, but it still needs to go through market research, and we will talk about it later." ”

"Oh, let's talk about it then. Cao Changjiu then took out his own things again, "Doctor, you said so much, I almost forgot my own things, what do you think this is?"

"Your processor?" Dr. Yu blurted out as soon as he saw the 40-pin integrated circuit, "The sample has been made, and how is the performance?"

Cao Changchang said with a smile: "There are two processor samples and a motherboard sample, which have been assembled by us and are now ...... Well, it's being tested, and that's all that's left for this sample. ”

"Okay, how is the performance, how does it compare to the 8085?" Dr. Yu took the processor in his hand and looked at it over and over again, although there was nothing on it.

"This," Cao Changjiu looked embarrassed, "Do you have to compare it with 8085?"

"It's okay, it's good to be able to make it!" Dr. Yu didn't care, "After all, this is a forward-designed microprocessor, and there is no technology for the Americans." ”

"Then I'll just say it, don't be angry. Chang Chang said with a smile, "Although it is the same 8-bit processor, it is not at the same level as the 8085, and the result of our test is that the average speed of the 8085 is below 200,000 instructions per second, and this sample is ......."

"How much? Don't spit out, no one laughs at you. Dr. Yu said with a smile that he was very unhappy with the long-term behavior of selling Guanzi.

"The official result is that it reached 800,000 instructions per second at 2MHz, and it is said that this is because the circuitry of the external motherboard cannot do this frequency, as well as the production process, and their pursuit of stability does not continue to increase the frequency. ”

"Well, it's in vain for you to say a bunch of reasons. Dr. Yu suddenly became excited, "I have to see it with my own eyes, otherwise I can't believe this kind of data, it's really terrible." ”

"Then follow me!"

At Da Li's house, Dr. Yu saw the data he needed as he wished, and his expression could only be described as dumbfounded, and he kept repeating: "How can it be so fast, how can it be so fast." ”

Brother Li looked at Dr. Yu who was in a state of madness in surprise, and asked Cao Changjiu in a low voice: "What's wrong with Mr. Yu, it seems that he has suffered a big blow." ”

After a long silence, Dr. Yu suddenly jumped up and announced, "It's incredible, I have to go back to the United States immediately, and I want to take my things with me." ”

The people in the room were startled, and asked for a long time, "What's so urgent, don't be so surprised." ”

"The patent thing, didn't I sign it for you last time, you can't apply for it without a sample, and now the sample is out, the performance is too unexpected for me, and I went back to speed up this matter, such an advanced thing, I don't feel at ease if I don't apply for a patent." Dr. Yu seemed very excited, hugged Cao Changjiu and kissed him fiercely, "This is an epoch-making invention, I have confidence in our career now, it seems that we have to reconsider the matter of cooperation, I have to leave immediately." ”

Just as it came suddenly, Dr. Yu took the sample with an unprecedented speed, took the flight to Hong Kong and returned to the United States, leaving Cao Changjiu and Da Li and his gang to look at each other and make no noise.

This kind of turn came too suddenly, so that they couldn't react for a long time, and Li patted his head and said, "It seems that Mr. Yu took away our computer." ”

The long mechanical answer: "It seems to be." ”

"Looks like there's a lot of us on it. ”

Cao Changjiu reacted at this time, and when he went out again, he couldn't find Dr. Yu's person, and he ran really fast with a chassis.

"Don't be afraid," Cao Changchang comforted Da Li, "Dr. Yu brought two computers when he came, although the performance is poor, but it is definitely cost-effective to exchange two for one, let's lend it to you first." ”

"That's not early!" Da Li immediately turned his worries into joy, and turned around and beckoned, "What are the brothers still doing in a daze, go move with him, you can't cheap this kid, haha." ”

In this way, the new computer was immediately equipped with Da Li and them, and no one was interested in the Apple II, because it could only display capital letters, and there was no software, and the performance was not very good.

However, VideoBrain is very much of their appetite for Da Li, and with the help of the graphics chip, the display screen is not comparable to any computer.

The VideoBrain microcomputer brought by Dr. Yu is their own development machine, with all the interfaces, and the cassette software usage mode did not stump Da Li's hardware transformation maniacs, and directly added a circuit to connect the disk drive, and forcibly transformed it into a game console.

The new version of Pacman is beautifully driven by the graphics chip, and it already has a real arcade picture, and they are ecstatic, and they pounce on the computer day and night to play their imagination.

Cao Changchang was so happy that they didn't grab the Mac machine with him, and buried his head in writing some application software.
