Chapter 67: Buying a Computer

"Still a scholar, I think it's a scumbag. How can a scholar play on the computer~" Lin Xiaotong rolled his eyes.

Xiao Jun: ......

In the next few days, Xiao Jun still stayed at home. Of course, the time of winter vacation should not be wasted, and you must play the game well!

Of course, he doesn't play games all day long, and usually brags in the [Xueba Chat Group] in the morning and noon to learn some useful things by the way. He's been asking Halliday a few things about virtual game engines lately. Play games in the afternoon and evening!

That's right, he wanted to make a game engine of his own.

There is a game bully Halliday in the Xueba group, and it is impossible for him to squeeze the other party's knowledge well. Fortunately, Halliday is also a good old man and knows everything. Gradually, he learned a lot about virtual games from Halliday.

For example, Halliday explained several core technologies of his [Oasis] virtual engine. First, the virtual renderer, which contains a virtual 3D image. Games are inseparable from two-dimensional and three-dimensional images. It's all an important part of making game characters, backgrounds, animations, and more. But these are all in the realm of backward computer games. From these foundations, he developed a virtual 3D image. In fact, it is to make these three-dimensional images real and virtual. It makes you feel that you are not in an online game world, but in a real world.

That's the beauty of virtual games, and you can even be inseparable from reality!

In addition to the above, there is also a virtual physics engine, a virtual collision detection system, a virtual sound effect, a virtual script engine, a virtual reality animation, artificial intelligence, a virtual network engine, and virtual scene management!

The above several are all important parts of what makes up a virtual game engine.

In addition to learning from Halliday, he also went to bookstores and bought more than thirty books on software programming, game engine development, and more. After all, he has to start from the basics, without a foundation, he doesn't know how to edit code, edit and develop detection systems, and so on.

So, he's going to start from scratch, and the knowledge Halliday gave him is just about virtual game engines.

For example, Halliday told him how to design and build this villa. But he has to know how a brick is made, how a tile is made, so that he can build a house with bricks and tiles. Otherwise, what to cover?

At noon, Xiao Rui returned home and habitually glanced inside when he walked through Xiao Jun's door.

"Hey, this stinky boy doesn't even play games, he's actually reading, it's rare!" Xiao Rui walked in and found his son lying on the bed with a book and looking at it seriously.

""The Self-cultivation of Programmers"?" Xiao Rui was a little dumbfounded. Shouldn't he, a high school student, read books like full-score essays and ancient poetry translation books?

Immediately afterwards, he saw Xiao Jun's bedside, desk, and chair with a bunch of books everywhere.

"Introduction to Programming", "Code Programming", "C Language Basics", "Introduction to Game Modeling", "Software Design Basics", "Game Engine Basics", ......

"Xiao Jun, what do you think of these books?" Xiao Rui couldn't help but ask.

"I was going to apply for a computer science major in college, so I learned some of this knowledge in advance. Xiao Jun said without being salty.

"Okay. This sentence made Xiao Rui a little speechless. After all, his son's final exam score of 750 points proves that he has eaten most of the knowledge points in high school. No matter how bad the performance in the college entrance examination is, it's okay to score 700 points, right?

He has also heard that many top students start to read high school knowledge when they are in junior high school, and they read the university courses when they are in high school...... It turns out that this legendary genius actually appeared in his own home!

During the meal, Xiao Jun made a small request to his parents: "Mom and Dad, I want to buy a new computer!"

"Buy a new computer? Didn't you buy that one at home last year?" Why do you want to buy a new one?" Xiao Rui asked puzzled.

"The computer configuration is not good, I need a high-spec computer. Xiao Jun said.

"The boy is his father, just buy it for him. This time, the first place in the city in the final exam, just because of our commendation for him!" Cheng Xia spoke. She has always been a loving mother and a loser.

"That's okay! How much!" Xiao Rui nodded.

"20,000 yuan. “

"What? 20,000 dollars? Why do you need such a good computer? It's a waste to play games. You're not a pro!" Xiao Rui pouted. He is also a middle-aged uncle who keeps pace with the times, and even game pros know it. But you're not, what are you buying such an expensive computer for? Playing games? Five or six thousand is enough for you to play.

"I've been learning software editing lately, developing games and stuff. I need a high-spec computer. Besides, it's an early venture capital. In case your son and I develop a software, game or something. Sold hundreds of thousands, millions, tens of millions ......," Xiao Jun said, snapping his fingers.

Xiao Rui: ......

Cheng Xia: ......

"Why, don't you believe me? This is where my potential as a top student is placed. Xiao Jun boasted to himself.

"This ...... It's too expensive!" Xiao Rui shook his head. If it was 10,000 yuan, he could consider it.

"The child's father, and he wants his son to have a future and become a big boss. Now the 20,000 yuan is not willing to invest. What do you think in your head?" Cheng Xia helped at this time. Anyway, she doesn't care if her son will use the computer to play games or what he will do in the future. Anyway, she felt that her son scored 750 points in the exam, and it was not too much to spend 20,000 yuan to buy a computer to celebrate.

In the end, Xiao Rui agreed under the persuasion of Cheng Xia!

Well, with 20,000 computers, the average family simply can't afford it. Only Dakang families like Xiao Jun agree to buy their children!

Xiao Jun, who got 20,000 yuan, of course, didn't go stupidly to buy a computer in the computer city, it was too bad to buy a computer in the computer city, so it was better to assemble it yourself!

"All the computer accessories are purchased online, and when you buy them, you can take them to the computer store to ask someone to help assemble them, and then you can give some labor costs. Xiao Jun thought to himself.

If you take 20,000 yuan to buy a computer in the computer city, it is estimated that the total value of the physical parts of the computer is less than 13,000!

In fact, when he first wanted to build a game engine, he wanted to build a high-configuration computer.

20,000 computers should be sufficient.

I consulted with the people in the Xueba group about what configuration of processors, graphics cards, hard disks, etc. to use.

Then we started buying on a big spree!
