Chapter 90: Technology Ahead of the Times

In the first few times the Light Gate crossed, Lin Qi only went back and forth by himself, and the items he carried were not living creatures. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info This time, Lin Qi bought two Samoyeds for animal experiments......

"Wang!" the puppy was a little manic and seemed a little scared.

"Don't be afraid, it's all right, Satania. Lin Qi stroked one of the little Samoyeds.

Another Samoyed named Jiabaili was very calm, lying on the ground and not even bothering to move his tail.

"Learn from Jia Baili. Lin Qi praised the calm dog.

The names of the two puppies come from an anime "The Fall of Jia Baili" that Lin Qi has watched, and he thinks the characters are very interesting, and he is too lazy to think of names for his pets, so he directly uses the rankings of angels and demons.

Next, Lin Qi carried a backpack and led two dogs in both hands to get into the other side of the crossing gate!

The villas on both sides of the world are the same, and the property rights were bought by Lin Qi. It's just that the 81st year has only been built for a year, and the 21st century is a decades-old building.

After crossing over, some dust accumulated in the room. Through this dust, Lin Qi knew that no one had visited during this time.

After Lin Qi put down his backpack, he carefully examined the two dogs and found that the two dogs were still alive, but they were vomiting like motion sickness or seasickness.

After a few hours, the two dogs gradually recovered and ran around lively.

Lin Qi couldn't help but feel excited in his heart, being able to bring a living animal to this world shows that his physical crossing is not a special case.

Of course, this was only an experiment on animals, and Lin Qi didn't dare to further experiment with living people.

On the one hand, if he was brought over and died, then Lin Qi would definitely have a troubled conscience. If you don't die...... Well, that means there's one more uncontrollable existence!

Lin Qi has no confidence in completely controlling the existence from the 21st century, and does not allow him to divulge Lin Qi's secrets, unless the person himself is trustworthy.

But apart from his family, who can guarantee that he can be trusted? And Lin Qi didn't dare to risk his family......

……

It is only a week since Lin Qi left the world of the 80s.

Since Lin Qi has an explanation to the company every time he leaves, it will not affect the company's operations. Unless Lin Qi loses contact for a long time, the company will call the police to find him.

Soon after returning to this world, Lin Qi called Hong Kong and asked Gao Tian to bring a group of CD R&D personnel to Shenzhen.

On July 30, Gao Tian had brought several CD technology R&D personnel to Shenzhen to meet Lin Qi in the villa area formerly known as Yinhu Villa.

Of course, now this villa area is called "Lin Qi Villa", in the name of Lin Qi's private person, named after the slope land covering an area of more than 100 acres and the land adjacent to the reservoir and lake.

Lin Qi asked Gao Tian to come over, but he was still very impatient. Because, the new start-up electronics company, there are a bunch of research projects waiting for him to tackle them.

The Pangu team's hosting project doesn't just need a 16-bit reduced instruction set CPU.

In fact, the CPU developed by Dr. Yu's team is important, but it cannot be used without other hardware. The motherboard, graphics card, sound card and a bunch of other projects related to the game experience of the Pangu console are all independently developed by the Pangu team.

To put it simply, although the Pangu console was developed in the name of a game console, in fact, it only needs to change a few accessories and peripherals to become a high-performance and low-cost computer, and the game performance is definitely better than other technical standards.

The huge amount of money that game companies have invested in hardware research and development is not unscrupulous, but in line with the development of the semiconductor industry in history.

Historically, from the early days of the birth of the PC, in order to compete with the home machine for the game market, therefore, IBM also began to invite some game companies to participate in its new project - PCjr, which is a relatively failed computer for IBM, in order to seize the home machine market, PCjr invited the well-known company in the game industry Xue Leshan, to participate in the technology research and development, improve the graphics card and sound card and other technologies. In order to promote its game "The Secret History of Kings" for the PC platform, the company actively helped IBM develop high-performance sound and display chips for the PC platform.

However, PCjr itself is a failed product, because IBM was still unable to reduce the price of PCjr, as high as $600~1200, making it unable to compete with cheap home game consoles. In the office market, users need better office performance and software, but PCjr is strangely not compatible with PCs, but independent projects. So, this project, which was supposed to be very creative, ended up being a tear of the times, and later IBM abandoned the project, but it pointed the way for later PC-compatible machines to enter the home market.

The Pangu team's research on graphics and sound cards is not for nothing, and in this era, these jobs are originally done by game companies. Only game companies will invest a lot of money in the development of graphics cards and sound cards for better graphics and sound effects.

In fact, the display and sound effects of home game consoles, for a long time, were ahead of PC computers. Even in the 21st century, only high-end gaming PCs, with their graphics and sound cards, can compete with the effects of professional gaming consoles.

In addition to the technical research and development of sound, graphics and other aspects, the Pangu team is also responsible for the research and development of game-specific memory.

Including CD-ROM technology, before Lin Qi provided information, the Pangu team had already begun to develop it for several months. However, the R&D progress is relatively slow, after all, the Pangu team has expanded to about 400 people, but because there are too many R&D projects, the R&D team of the CD-ROM sub-project is more than 10 people, and the progress is not as good as Philips and Sony.

After all, Philips is the first to invest in the application and research and development of laser storage technology, and its technical background is leading the world, while Sony is rich and has begun relevant research and development a few years ago.

If Lin Qi doesn't open cheats and improve the R&D progress of new start-up electronics companies, then he will definitely not be able to launch products before those companies.

"Mr. Lin, you can really enjoy it, if it is in Hong Kong, dozens of mansions are probably worth hundreds of millions. Gao Tian said with a sarcastic look.

In 81, Hong Kong's housing prices hit a new high, and the average residential housing price exceeded 10,000 per square meter. The price per square meter of a single-family villa is only more expensive than that of a regular house, but not cheaper.

"If Hong Kong is a private land with mountains and rivers, and the part-time job is like a royal garden, more than 100 acres, and it is estimated that 1 billion yuan will be more than 100 million. A technical backbone said.

"It's a pity that it's Shenzhen!" another technical backbone showed a hint of superiority.

"This land is not developed yet. Lin Qi smiled and said, "In the future, I plan to develop it into a villa area, which will have hospitals, kindergartens, primary and secondary schools, large shopping malls, amusement parks and various service facilities, and I am not going to develop it into a commercial real estate." It's a business partner who has a good relationship with me, or an important contributor to the company, or something great to admire, who is qualified to live in. ”

"Free?" asked Gao Tian.

"Charged!" Lin Qi said.

"Profiteer!" said Gao Tian with disdain.

Lin Qi didn't care, although he didn't expect to make money by selling the house, but it was completely free, which was also impossible. On the contrary, not only is he not free, but he also sells it very expensively. Love to buy or not, anyway, in the long run, buying a house here will definitely be earned.

……

As Lin Qi handed over the thick information to Gao Tian and the others, soon these technical backbones fell into a shock.

"Won't it?"

"It's that simple?"

"Where did all this information come from?"

Next, Lin Qi handed over the prototype to them, and further determined that this was a mature set of technology, and watched a film and television on a CD-ROM disc, which is also a VCD format video.

"This ...... The clarity is no longer inferior to that of a videotape, right?" Gao Tian said.

"This is not yet high-definition, and in the future, there is room for further development. Lin Qi said. Now it doesn't make much sense to make high-definition, after all, limited by the display effect of TV and computer screens, clearer images can't be broadcast yet.

"What about the speed at which the data is read?" asked Gao Tian.

"Even a little slower than a floppy disk is extremely limited. At the very least, it's much faster than tape storage. Lin Qi said.

Nowadays, the data capacity of floppy disk storage is too small, and the capacity of hard disk is also very small, personal computer users, generally do not have hard disks, even if they use hard disks, about 10MB hard disks, how much data can be stored? Therefore, there are still quite a lot of users, even using magnetic tape to store programs. Tape can be seen running programs slowly. Floppy disks were supposed to be faster to read programs, so tape storage was phased out in the 80's.

The game's cassette is similar to a floppy disk, and the defects are similar to that of a floppy disk, with a very limited storage capacity, currently only 1~2MB in size, and even in the late 80s, its capacity is only tens of MB. Trying to run a large game program with hundreds of megabytes is basically a dream!

However, changing the disc as the storage medium for the game program can easily reach hundreds of MB! The larger the program, the better the game experience can be achieved.

In the 90s, Sony relied on disc storage as a weapon to smash Nintendo's impregnable fortress.

Even if Nintendo initially disagreed, believing that cheap discs were slow to read, even with their large capacity, they might not be able to replace game cartridges. However, the gap between the disc and the game cartridge is not a double or two times the capacity gap, but a gap of dozens of times.

For other gamers, use more than 600 MB discs to experience games with better graphics and richer content. Compared with Nintendo's games, players feel that Nintendo's graphics are rough and the technology is backward.

This is a breakthrough in the gaming experience brought by changing to a larger storage medium!

At the same time, in the computer market, CD-ROM also began to exert force in the 90s, eliminating floppy drives and floppy disks.

Lin Qi is not ready to promote this advanced technology until the 90s, but is ready to promote it in the 80s, and use high performance and low price to wipe out the floppy disks in the computer market and the cassettes in the game market.
