"Things are in our own hands, what is there to deceive or not, you are too careful. Chang Chang smiled, "Everything has to be taken the initiative, and now it is others who are begging us, so don't worry about doing it boldly." β
"I don't want to do two big projects at the same time. "Da Li is not stupid, he knows his limits.
"That's a mistake!" he shook his head for a long time, "to make the greatest use of the resources in hand, the so-called wide planting and thin harvest is a routine, but it is the ability to squeeze oil out of the stone." β
"I want to hear about it!"
"Who are you talking to, and what projects are they going to work on?"
"NEC counts one, they are ready to pull an alliance to fight Nintendo's fc together, and now it is said that there are already some eyebrows, but it seems that it is still an 8-bit architecture, and I am not too optimistic. Da Li counted his fingers and said, "The others are some small companies, and the design plan is written on the 'flower' and 'flower', and in the end, I was asked to pay for it, and I was wronged!"
"That's ......" thought for a long time, and resolutely proposed, "Don't follow them to mess around, do it yourself." β
"It seems to be very risky to do it yourself...... Da Li hesitated.
"There's no risk, it's just a by-product of the EC. "I have been actively encouraging Da Li to enter this industry for a long time," borrowing from the architecture of the EC machine, it is not enough to follow the cat and the tiger. It's a pity that K32 doesn't have a 16-bit version, but it's about the same, anyway, the cost will definitely not be more expensive than a 16-bit processor. The cost of the whole machine may be a bit high, but it doesn't matter, it is estimated that it will be about the same when you develop it. β
Da Li was dumbfounded, he didn't expect to be so 'radical' for a long time, and this master would directly get on the 32-bit game console.
"It doesn't seem to be such a market yet!" Da Li stretched out his hand and tried his forehead for a long time, and said in surprise, "I don't have a fever, why are you talking nonsense?"
"Be serious! Don't giggle!" Chang Chang slapped Da Li's paw away, and said positively, "It's time for discussion, can't you fight without a market?" I didn't say that you should go public now, it's just that there is such a possibility." β
"With the EC architecture, the k32 processor, and the single-chip graphics processing system, this is no problem. Da Li also seriously considered it, "But a series of related standards have to be developed by themselves, which is estimated to take a lot of time." β
"32-bit machine, the last thing we lack now is time. Long said with satisfaction, "Everything can be done slowly, think about it, when the Japanese tried their best to get a 16-bit machine, we shot a 32-bit game console, the picture is not a grade at all, and the price is not too different, which do you say consumers will choose?"
"I don't know!" Da Li thought about it for a long time and said honestly, "Not to mention the cost, the key is the game show." β
I almost didn't die of anger for a long time, so I had to patiently explain: "Do you know what a 32-bit function is? Do you know what is a replacement or not? What is a next-generation effect? It is to achieve the effect that only an arcade machine can achieve on a home machine, a real family entertainment center." β
"......" Da Li was at a loss, perhaps it was the thorn and 'excitement' of the wine 'essence' that made him a little sluggish, and he couldn't understand the words for a long time at all.
"Forget it, you can put this in the product catalog first. I also felt a headache for a long time, so I had to hurriedly end this hopeless conversation.
Maybe it's still too advanced, and I feel a little anxious for a long time, and I want to surpass in this era of 8-bit computer dominance.
But this is indeed a kind of ***, the brain that has been stabbed and "excited" by the wine for a long time always can't help but turn up, and happily took a calculator and calculated it, and the results showed that it was absolutely possible.
The cost aspect is definitely not a problem, it is completely related to the 'sex' ability. I still remember the feeling of seeing Sega V for the first time, it was just a picture that could be achieved by a 68000 processor, almost comparable to the picture of an arcade machine.
16-bit decayed 68000 processor can achieve something,32-bit K32 can naturally do better,Not to mention K32 and 021 processor in the same vein,This compatibility problem is not big,Nintendo's huge high-quality game resources on the FC can be the best backingγ
There is a big article to be done in this, and we must do it well and think about it for a long time.
In addition, there is the problem of the carrier, the popular standard is to use the integrated circuit ROM as the carrier of the game, the speed is enough, and piracy is not easy, the attraction to dealers is greater, that is, the cost is slightly higher, and the capacity is a little smaller. However, these are not so important for 8-bit computers, after all, the function is placed there, even if it can store more, the machine cannot handle such a large amount of data, so the capacity problem of the cartridge did not become apparent until the appearance of the 16-bit computer.
However, the biggest drawback of this thing is that it is read-only, that is, you can only read data from the game card, and you can't write data, does it matter? Does it matter? No one may recognize this fatal flaw now, after all, one of the largest branches of video games, RPGs, have not yet officially appeared, and at most they are a bit rudimentary on computers, and only tapes and disks can be stored...... RPG, this thing is often sold in millions, and a hand-me-down can eat more than ten generations of things, so how can I not be tempted for a long time, especially when this major hand-me-down has not appeared...... When I think of games such as "Dragon Quest" and "Final Fantasy", I will immediately be "trendy" for a long time, and the silver of white "flowers" and "flowers" shines in front of me, one generation, two generations, three generations, four, five, six, seven, and eight generations...... Genuine pirated reproduction...... I couldn't suppress my excitement for a long time, in the end, it was 'exciting' that he sent his most primitive ***, he had entered the Chinese Academy of Sciences because of this when he was a child, and now he has enough resources in his hands, how can he give up this?
It just so happens that the programmers below are idle and bored, so let them do it first, thinking for a long time. In the past, I was engaged in chips and 'operation' systems, and I almost forgot about such a rich thing, and I smirked for a long time.
No one is born a programmer, everything has to be 'stimulated' by interest, isn't it? Playing games is a compulsory course for everyone who plays a computer, and the same is true for writing games, and the life of a programmer who has not written games is incomplete.
"Comrades, in order to enrich our daily cultural and entertainment life, in order to better contribute to the prosperity of the socialist market economy, and also in order not to let your hands be born, I decided to ......" looked around at the young people present for a long time, and read the fanaticism in their eyes, after all, life without things to do is too boring, "I decided, let everyone have a PK!"
"What do you call PK?" Someone below suddenly asked.
Very good, there was no cold situation, and he nodded for a long time: "It's a competition, there is a bonus, and the topic is this." β
A dozen pamphlets were handed out, and the development plan was written on them, and the young people couldn't wait to open them as soon as they got their hands on them, but they were all a little dumbfounded, and they talked about each other.
Da Li also whispered to Chang Chang: "No problem, isn't this bonus a bit high?"
Chang said nonchalantly: "It's only 20,000, isn't it now that the government is liberalized, and it doesn't interfere with the company's salary payment." β
"Your tasks are all written on it, and everyone is divided into groups and each picks a project to carry out. He shouted loudly for a long time, overpowering the voice of the discussion below, "If there is any other question, please mention it quickly." β
Finally, someone couldn't help it, raised his hand and said: "Leader, we haven't written this game program, besides, we don't have a ...... here who can draw."
Chang Chang waved his hand: "No problem, you just need to write a structure, I have routines here in this regard, as for the art problem, you don't have to worry about it, I have talent here." β
With this answer, the others didn't have any objections, and what to write was not what to write, so the grouping began.
At first, he just wrote the design of those famous RPG games from memory, and then completely left these things out of his mind, and only stipulated some elements of RPG, such as 'maze', setting, plot, skills, upgrades, equipment, levels, etc., and some other things were left to them, as for those written such as Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Dungeons & Dungeons, etc., just as a reference.
The development platform was set on the EC machine, after all, I didn't dare to take risks for a long time. In terms of 'sexuality', an alpha workstation may be more suitable, but who would buy a workstation to play games?
EC machines have a considerable market share in Europe and Asia, and they have an advantage over PCs.
The key is to think about the next generation of game consoles for a long time, after all, his goal is to release its 32-bit game console based on the K32 and take advantage of the defeat of Nintendo.
Developing on EC is conducive to the transfer of the platform, and it can prioritize the development of die-hard players of the game, otherwise it will not be fun for other companies to take the lead.
He thought about it for a long time, but the programmers and engineers under him made it difficult, they used to be exposed to steel rolling programs, CAD design, system engineering design, etc., this game is not the first time to come into contact with it, in their eyes this is not a proper behavior.
However, it is not only the scheme that has been provided to them for a long time, but also some routines, including some game programs written by European and American hackers themselves, of course, this thing is quite 'pumping', maybe a square represents a monster, and only those programmers will be happy to do it.
Thankfully, human nature is play, and even more so with young people, who have been completely hooked on the task after a brief initial period of resistance, and have been out of control since they wrote the first rudimentary framework, with dozens of people working day and night on their dreams.
However, for a long time, they will naturally not let them run into a wall at will, after all, this thing is the first time they have come into contact with it, and some shortcuts still need to be mentioned.
For example, it has long been stipulated that a game program is also a software project, which is not written as you like, it must have an outline, a plot, and a playability. In addition, I have long 'handed over' some of the source code of the development packages I have written to them, which are almost invaluable, because this is a ready-made architecture, and you only need to build a series of finished games with pictures and story.
For a long time, this thing is called an engine, and just writing such a thing can save development time and make almost infinite games with the same 'how-to' method.
Therefore, the three teams set out together to dismantle the development package and try to find out the mystery. What kind of people are they?,They are all born from playing system code.,How can such a thing be hard to stop them.,With the source code and effects.,You can see the 'door' at a glance.,Anyway, it's all according to their own understanding.γ
If there is no lack of technical ability, only imagination, the potential of these young people is quickly developed once the potential of these young people is 'stimulated' by the improved RPG engine, and the three groups are different, but all of them reflect their skills.
Because dozens of people are divided into three groups, the number of people is too much, except for some hardware engineers, almost everyone else is improving the engine architecture, and there are always people who have their own ideas, and no one is convinced, and finally they have to do it themselves.
For a long time, I had to stipulate that a group can only use one engine, all ideas must be unified, and functions can be added, but not ***, which stopped this unhealthy trend.
As for the game built on the engine, it's five 'flowers' and eight 'doors'.,To say that these guys are really talented.,Dare to think about anything.,Almost all think of a piece.,The theme of the Anti-Japanese War is that each group has done one.,And they all have a look.,Although there is no art.,But the 'essence' of RPG has been reflected.,Even if there's only data, they're having a lot of fun.γ
Art is actually dispensable, originally just a subdivided industry, for a long time to understand the versatility of the people of that era, actually engineering students are also good at drawing...... With the personnel in place one after another, the size of such a competition team has slowly expanded, although it is still three groups, but the number of people has increased a lot, and the development speed and creativity are also endless.
For a long time, it is only the beginning, the so-called master leads into the 'door', and the cultivation depends on the individual, and the later development no longer needs him to promote, it is all spontaneous progress.
For a long time, I only pay attention to it occasionally, or copy a little result to play, and spend more time bargaining with the various political departments represented by Yu...... Oh no, it should be called a big matter together.
Yu Suo has had a headache lately, and has almost become a long-term microphone, and every time he talks with him, he has to bring a large stack of notes back, and after a few days, he has to bring a pair back, and there are usually comments on it, sometimes only two words: agree. Sometimes it's a long story, usually just a few questions.
And long-term work is to need to answer these questions perfectly, of course, this is completely long-term own thinking, a bit of an ideal.
The long-term idea is that the best way to make the scientific and technological development of the whole society jump out of the original shackles, and to make it self-hematopoietic. His philosophy is that since the state develops all kinds of technologies to be applied, why not directly publish all kinds of scientific research tasks to the society, and let enterprises or individuals directly choose whether to develop or not, and then the government will enforce the timetable for technology upgrading, so that enterprises can be aware of it, at least to avoid the risk of failure.
This kind of thinking is similar to the kind of foreign practice of competition in advance and monopoly after the fact, although the initial investment is relatively large, but the enterprise will always be attracted by the huge profits in the future and directly participate in it.
At present, there are probably not many enterprises in society that can have this courage, let alone 'private' business. Even if it is a long time, it only puts forward such an idea, but fortunately, the consideration of the upper level is more comprehensive, and it fills up a lot of leaks for a long time.
For a long time, he just focused on what he could afford in this regard, after all, he was not omniscient. The meaning of the annotation could not be clearer, that is, to make the manufacturing and design of integrated circuits that have been focused for a long time be the best to reach the level of foreign countries.
A clear answer to this question has been given for a long time, because the field of integrated circuits is too big, and it is impossible to make progress in a short period of time without a complete industrial chain, not to mention the current state of semi-herding sheep in China.
Although the state has made a great effort a few years ago to cut down all the small integrated circuit manufacturers in the country, and all the resources have been concentrated in a few points, there is no special 'improvement'.
A lot of money was spent, but under the guidance of the wrong ideological 'trend', only some integrated circuit production line products were imported from all aspects.
At that time, the abacus was very good, since the whole line was not allowed to be introduced, then we can always buy a single machine. 'Spent a lot of money' to secretly 'touch' and 'touch' imported a lot of accessories and machines from several countries, in a vain attempt to assemble them into seven production lines.
It's just that this kind of thing can be done by patchwork, all kinds of machine models are different, the 'sex' can be different, and the more terrible ones are second-hand, and the seven lines assembled are basically scrapped, and only three can be improvised, but it's just improvised.
In the end, the competent department 'door' was ashamed and angry, so he had to import a line from Japan at a high price, which was still in order to cooperate with the domestic TV production, and built a slightly more advanced TV special integrated circuit production line in Wuxi, which has just been completed.
In general, the domestic semiconductor industry has experienced the 70s to catch up and gradually approach foreign countries, these years can only be the river of the river, more than ten years of accumulation once lost, to put it mildly, China still entered the coreless era.
On this point, Chang Chang unceremoniously pointed out, and said that this kind of research and development investment is huge, especially the basic research of 'fine' manufacturing equipment, and it is best for the state to take the lead in organizing human research and development.
Smart machines also need integrated circuits, just make a system has a fart, wood is produced by others, you just know how to be a carpenter's craft.
Chang said that he would definitely do his best in the research of integrated circuit manufacturing, but the investment could not be borne by him alone, and in return, he needed some commitments from the government, such as the commitment to force technological upgrades.
This is very important, because if there is no clear goal, even the long-term prophet will not dare to launch rashly, after all, the investment is too large, and the risk is really not negligible, especially in the magical land of China, the impact of the policy is very great.
The above answer is very interesting, saying that as long as the country earns more, it can do whatever it takes for a long time.
Yu Suo came with this reply today, and said to Chang Chang with envy: "You are really capable, the big leader is simply obedient to you, what else do you have to be afraid of." β
"Alas, it's not easy to be a chief designer!" scratched his head for a long time, "How old am I, this is less white." β
"Those who can work hard, there are a lot of people staring at you now, don't give me face. β
"It's okay, I can stand it. Chang Chang smiled, "I know what kind of network project there is now, let me participate in it." β
"What do you want to do?" Yu knew about this, which was a network connecting several universities and research institutes, and this year it had been connected to the Internet in Germany, and sent an e-mail, claiming to be the first in China.
"That's what I think...... "I said his plan for a long time," he said...... Based on optical fiber network, telephone network, data network, wireless network, it is best to use only one line, all technology research and development should be inclined to digital, and the analog system can not be used only if it cannot be restricted, which is the direction of future development. It is easy to unify standards in digital mode, and the country does not need to interfere with specific 'operations', but only needs to formulate a standard from a high level and integrate it. β
"But that thing is really not that easy to use!" Yu Suo was really a little slow, after all, he couldn't accept a lot of words for a long time, "I've tried that net, it's too slow, can you take on so many tasks?"
"Technology will evolve, and the most important thing now is to do it. Chang Chang smiled, "One is optical fiber digital transmission technology, which should be developed in advance, even if the bandwidth of optical fiber is used to transmit analog data, there is not much left, so the research and development of digital coding technology is the key." As for the basic integrated circuits of everything, it is necessary for everyone to work together, this thing is simple and 'very' simple, and the investment is large at any time, but it is not hopeless, the key is to see whether the country has this firm will. I don't believe it, when we are poor and white, satellites can go to the sky, but this integrated circuit cannot be developed. Something that even a devil can do in two years, so many of us wise people can't complete it!"
Yu Suo had nothing to say: "How can you ask me to report to the top, this is too outrageous!"
Long smile: "You say so, the country's current optical fiber technology team is under my leadership, and I have invested in the construction of a backbone line between major universities to verify what I said, okay? In addition, the research and development of integrated circuits also requires everyone to brainstorm, as long as the country nods, three years can be expected." β
"You pay for it yourself?" Yu Suo felt incredulous, "That's a lot of money, aren't you a loss?"
"It's an investment!" "Long wry smile, today's plan is only ***.
