"In order to more intuitively feel the power of Pangu II, we first show a game "Counter-Strike"...... "Lin Qi directly took out a big killer - a 3D shooting game!"

Historically, the originator of the 3D shooter genre should be "Thor's Hammer" in the 90s, which can be called a truly mature 3D shooter. The various 3D games of later generations, including "Half-Life", "Counter-Strike", "CF", "Overwatch", and "PUBG", are essentially inseparable from the framework of the original "Thor's Hammer".

Is it possible to produce "Counter-Strike" with current technology? No problem at all, this is the conclusion reached by the new start-up electronics company after some experiments. The biggest problem with 3D games is not the performance of the CPU, but the high graphics card and memory requirements.

Large-scale 3D games have always been synonymous with burning graphics cards, and originally computer users simply didn't need too high-end graphics cards. In the early days of 3D games, without a good graphics card, it was impossible to bring it at all. Even in the 21st century, the performance of graphics cards is already very powerful, and entry-level graphics cards can even play most mainstream large-scale games, but this refers to low special effects, low image quality and low frames.

Now, the start-up has developed a powerful 3D engine and a matching 3D accelerated graphics card. At present, the price of graphics cards that can bring dynamic 3D games is as high as 2,000 US dollars, which is several times the price of Pangu second-generation computer hosts. At the same time, running such a large 3D game requires a large amount of memory, which requires consumers to pay a budget of $1,000.

Well, you also need to configure a large-capacity hard drive, starting at 512MB. Because,After the game is decompressed, it will be close to 250MB capacity,A lot of data will be generated during use,So it will get bigger and bigger。 In addition, the system and other application software require space, so the installation of this game requires at least 500MB of hard disk.

In other words, to experience a 3D masterpiece like Counter-Strike, you need to pay a budget of $5,000. In addition to the motherboard, power supply and CPU continue to be retained, other memory, graphics cards, and hard disks will all be replaced with higher configurations.

Of course, even with the $5,000 luxury configuration, Counter-Strike is certainly not as good as the 90s version. After a lot of hardware and software optimization, the effect that can be expressed can reach the level of "Quake" in history at most, but this is enough to excite the players present!

You know, it's the 80s, and those so-called 3D shooters are target shooting games that can only be in place and can't move, and by adjusting the muzzle direction, they can shoot at an endless number of enemies.

Historically, 3D shooters that have really matured have only begun to mature in the 90s. This is also because the mainstream configuration in the 80s was too poor to bring real 3D games at all.

And building a machine that could play 3D games in the 80s was too expensive to become mainstream, and could only become a toy for extremely niche players.

As the staff installed the Counter-Strike game on more than 20 Pangu II consoles, players were invited to experience it.

“GOGOGO!”

After the classic battle opening sound, the players who were invited to experience it were all confused at first, feeling a little unsure of how to operate.

However, the one-on-one guidance of the staff on the scene allowed these players to quickly master the conventional tactics of moving, jumping, aiming, and shooting. Although, the fight is a mess, and all the vegetables are picking. However, the excitement of these players cannot be hidden.

Soon everyone was in the atmosphere of a team battle, quickly yelling.

After demonstrating the power of the Pangu II platform through "Counter-Strike", Lin Qi pretended to be indifferent and said: "We show such configurations and games, not to prove anything. It's just about telling players just how much potential our platform really has. Of course, now limited by the cost, if you want to experience this kind of 3D masterpiece, you need to pay a relatively expensive price, the starting threshold is 5000 US dollars! It is precisely because of this price that it exceeds the scope that ordinary consumers can afford, and can only attract niche users. Therefore, our Pangu II platform did not provide such a high configuration at the beginning. However, users who want to upgrade will need more than $2,000 to buy a 6MB dedicated 3D graphics card, and in addition, they will need more than 5MB of RAM. In addition to that, hard disks of around 500MB to 1G. The overall budget is roughly more than $5,000! Niche enthusiasts who want to experience it one step ahead can order these high-end hardware. As for the average consumer with a limited budget, I recommend waiting patiently for a few years, after a few years, the price will gradually become more affordable, and these high-end hardware will be reduced to the point that the average consumer can afford. ”

This is purely pretending - it's not that my technology is bad, it's that my technology is too good, but I'm worried about your wallet, so I don't recommend consumers to buy it for the time being. But if you really want to buy the local tyrant, of course you are welcome, your time is very precious, and waiting for a few years will definitely be a crime for you, so buy buy now, buy the most expensive and highest configuration.

"Pangu II has not yet been officially launched, but it is available for pre-order from consumers. From January next year, we will ship them one after another. Lin Qi said, "Consumers who prepay the full deposit, no matter where they are in the world, we will arrange the delivery according to the order order." From January 1 next year, Pangu Gen 2 will be available for limited release worldwide, and shipments will be adjusted according to our production capacity. Of course, consumers who book in advance will be given priority to get the goods and will not be bothered by the subsequent restrictions. ”

There was thunderous applause from the audience!

At the same time, all kinds of buying, buying, buying and buying voices are endless!

Many of the media and consumers present are fans of the Pangu host of the new venture electronics. If the second-generation console does not show strong persuasiveness, then the fans present may hesitate to upgrade. After all, the current generation of platforms is still usable.

However, the potential shown by the current second-generation platform has made many people give up thinking - buy!

Buy the second-generation platform first, and then wait for the price of graphics cards, memory and hard disks to drop, and gradually build a machine that can play "Counter-Strike"!

……

In 1985, the New Venture Electronic Double 11 Conference was another black technology conference.

Most of the media reporters attending the meeting became brain-dead fans of new start-up electronics companies because of their amazing experience.

Of course, Steve Jobs, who started his second business, was also a beneficiary, and NTV, which he founded later, became a third-party company that gained a lot of eyeballs with the help of the New Venture Double 11 platform press conference.

The biggest feature of this year's Double 11 is the pre-sale model of hot-selling products. Let the consumer pay a deposit, and after that, wait patiently for a few months to receive the goods.

This model is undoubtedly beneficial to merchants, who take this opportunity to obtain a large amount of cash flow and stable orders. However, after paying a large deposit, the consumer waits for several months to get the goods.

If the ordinary product, it is simply impossible to have such a great charm. But many of the products released this year with the help of Double 11 are black technology. Including the VR glasses and Pangu II of the new venture electronics company, and the NTV of Steve Jobs' new Apple, they can be called epoch-making products in this era. Therefore, a large number of users are happy to book after being seduced to the point of being smitten.

In just half a month after the end of Double 11, Pangu II has received orders for more than one million units.

In addition, the orders for VR glasses have also exceeded 200,000, after all, VR glasses seem to be more black technology than Pangu II and NTV. However, in terms of the scenarios for everyday applications, the unintentional is very narrow. Even in the 21st century, the problem of the source of VR equipment has not been solved. Without much content resources, it is naturally difficult to develop.

New Apple's NTV also benefited from the Double 11 press conference of New Venture Electronics, and in the next few months, before the official launch, it held an order of 100,000 units.

After tasting the benefits of cooperating with Lin Qi, Jobs made an exception to accept Lin Qi's investment.

At the beginning of December 85, Lin Qi privately invested 20 million US dollars to take a stake in New Apple, obtaining 10% of the shares, becoming the second shareholder after Jobs. Jobs himself holds up to 85% of the shares, and the remaining shareholders are basically employees of New Apple. Obviously, after Jobs started his business for the second time, many systems also deeply imitated the new entrepreneurial electronics.
