The time soon entered October, and good news came from Midea's company laboratory, and a new computer based on Xu Zhi's was born.

In the laboratory, Xu Zhi looked at the computer in front of him that was not much different from his childhood memory, a 14-inch big butt monitor, a vertical host chassis next to it, and the keyboard was also separated, connected to the host by a data cable.

"Xu Sheng, this is a mouse designed according to your requirements. He Guoyuan handed over a mouse similar to that of later generations, according to the requirements of Xu Zhi, a traverser, imitating the shape of the Razer mouse of later generations, fully considering the structural design of the human hand, and also registered a shape patent in the world.

Before the advent of Microsoft's graphical interface system, the mouse was not very useful. At present, the computer is still in a "wild" era, and it is necessary to enter a code to operate the computer, and if you don't know a little professional knowledge, you can't play the computer at all.

This should be said to be the world's first split personal computer, the current popular design shape is an integrated design, the main unit is at the bottom, on top of a keyboard and monitor, Apple's Apple2 is like this.

Although the cost of the computer will be more than ten dollars higher after the split, but compared with the current price of thousands or even thousands of dollars in personal computers, the increase in cost is nothing, the biggest advantage of the split is that the heat dissipation performance of the chassis is good, and the display is directly placed on the general table, the height is also just right, otherwise, now the traditional computer because of the height of the bottom chassis, placed on the normal table will always be uncoordinated because of the height of the screen.

After the engineer installed the mouse, Xu Zhi also tried it himself, now all the computer systems in this era are DOS systems, and the mouse has little effect, but Xu Zhi still brings the latest computer with a mouse, and the fundamental reason is that the United States game company has also developed 2 games for its own computer.

The first one is the simplest.,It's minesweeper.,In later generations,This game has basically been played by people who have used computers.,Although it belongs to the most primitive basic game.,But the playability is still relatively high.。

And the second is the classic game - Plants vs. Zombies, because this game is better to use on the computer, Xu Zhi did not put it on the arcade, but sold it with his own computer.

In the future, when the computer is released, these games will be sold together, and in a short period of time, as exclusive games for their own computers, although various countries and companies value the application of personal computers in business, but more ordinary people buy them home to play.

Xu Zhi took out the Floppy Disk of Plants vs. Zombies from the disc box and loaded it into the computer drive, and a link quickly popped up on the computer screen, Xu Zhi operated the mouse and clicked in, and after a few seconds, the game screen jumped out.

Considering the functional limitations of the current CPU, the picture of the game is not a high-definition design, anyway, the requirements of players in this era are not high, their requirements for the game are more playable, the first generation of plant design is enough to meet the market demand, and when players are tired of playing, Midea can also launch a second wave of versions.

"Xu Sheng, this is the production arrangement plan of the Honor brand computer. He Guoyuan handed Xu Zhi a detailed production plan.

Midea's first computer brand to test the water is called the Honor 1 series, which takes the high-end route, using the Motorola 68000 processor, which is the world's first 32-tail processor, and the price is 15 times that of the commonly used 6502 processor on the market, but it is also much more powerful in terms of performance, and can run several large games smoothly.

Xu Zhi probably scanned the plan, as the first personal computer of Midea, all the assembly and testing are responsible for the direct factory of Midea, and the specific production details, he will not interfere too much, professional people do professional things, Xu Zhi is only responsible for the development of the company's strategy.

"Just follow this plan. Xu Zhi waved his hand and asked, "How is the development of the Wubi input method?"

"We have summarized the words and aspects, basically in line with 99% of the current commonly used Chinese characters, and now we are looking for the best position on the keyboard!" He Guoyuan replied: "In addition, the global patent registration has also been completed, as long as we promote it, the market of all Chinese in the world alone will be monopolized by us." ”

"Of course, but it can be regarded as a solution to a difficult problem, otherwise a bunch of bricks are clamoring for the abolition of Chinese characters. Xu Zhi said with a smile.

Before the electronic civilization, the Chinese language had enough advantages, and when it came to typesetting, a page of Chinese characters expressed much more than English, Japanese and other words.

However, after the computer age, a problem that plagued all Han culture arose, how to input Chinese characters into the computer, which was extremely difficult at that time.

Many people even assert that computers are the grave digging of Chinese character culture, and in Wanwan, Xiangjiang, and the mainland, many brick families have called for the abolition of Chinese characters and the use of pinyin instead.

In 77, the Japanese invented the Chinese character phototypesetting value machine, but this machine cannot proofread the Chinese characters when inputting, and once there is a mistake, it must be retyped. Wang An company in the United States also invented a 99-key triangular coding input method, and a large keyboard input method, with 9 words on a key, and then select the correct one according to the radical.

Although these methods can input Chinese characters, they are too inefficient, and the rules are chaotic, and it is impossible for ordinary people to remember them, so they can only find the instructions while entering Chinese characters, which is extremely painful to use and very easy to make mistakes.

Xu Zhi in the previous life will only use the traditional pinyin input method,Wubi has never been used,Before he convened a group of engineers,The design concept of Wubi was said,By this group of people according to all the rules of Chinese characters,Re-launch of the new Wubi input method,Although the root structure、The position on the keyboard is certainly different from the previous life,But regardless of the white cat and black cat,As long as you can quickly input Chinese characters,It's OK。

"Are the five strokes of simplified Chinese also ready?" asked Xu Zhi.

He Guoyuan nodded and said: "It's okay, although traditional Chinese characters and simplified Chinese characters are different, there are still a lot of common roots, relatively speaking, simplified Chinese is still a little simpler, but at present, the main use of simplified Chinese characters is still in the mainland, and the copyright is useless?"

Xu Zhidao: "It's okay, not at the moment, maybe it will be useful in the future." In addition, prepare a set of computers, with simplified input methods, and send them to my home. ”

"Okay, no problem. He Guoyuan nodded in agreement.

Just when Xu Zhi and He Guoyuan were discussing more details, Wang Liming came over and said: "Xu Sheng, General Electric's Welch just called, RCA's acquisition has ended, and he invited you to go to the United States to discuss the transfer of TV business!"
