Chapter 169: Simulators

Atletico Madrid came back specifically to pick it up, but it was a star product.

"Ah, the legendary Dragon-Core Box!", he said as he handed a black rectangular box to Liu Shumeng.

"Why does it look weird, like a computer room switch?"

"How else to say it's a box? But people call it a mini computer, and of course it's okay to call it a box. ”

"How's the configuration?"

Waving his hand, Atletico said with a smile: "Forget about the configuration, the Linux system, the fan PS architecture, there are basically not many games for you to use." ”

"If you can't play the game, you can also be a server, and you have to configure it. ”

"The configuration is very average, 256 memory, 16 megabytes of video memory. ”

"Forget it, it's not interesting. ”

"This computer is not for ordinary people to use to play games, people are made like this to enter the political axe office and the school teaching computer room. As long as you can work and type, watch pictures and videos, it's basically the same. ”

As he spoke, Atletico was carrying a shopping bag in his left hand, with a black keyboard exposed at the mouth of the bag.

"When did you get this thing, I didn't see you use it last semester. ”

took the dragon-core box handed back by Liu Shumeng, and Atletico stuffed it into a shopping bag, "It arrived a few days after the winter vacation, and I came here to collect the express delivery." ”

"And then after playing for a while, I thought it was boring and left it here?"

"Sort of, this thing has more symbolism and collectibles after all. ”

"It's only 660 trillion! How do I remember that when I was in high school, I already said that I had reached the level of Bensan and exceeded 600 trillion?"

In the elevator, Liu Shumeng said with some dissatisfaction when it came to the frequency of the dog's remaining CPU.

"This thing involves the difference between a laboratory product and a mass-produced product. Laboratory products do not care about the yield rate, as long as some products meet expectations, it can be said that the project is successful. However, mass production is different, each unqualified product is an additional cost that cannot be recovered, and the pass rate is too low to die. I feel that the frequency of dog remnants has not increased much in the past two years, and it may be that I have focused on optimizing the design and improving the pass rate. By the way, it seems that manufacturers prefer the term yield rate, but the meaning is actually similar. ”

"Didn't you say that you only found 1,000 boxes, it's not a mass production, right?"

Atletico nodded and shook his head, "According to the normal situation, it really doesn't count, maybe the manufacturer is more for the sake of justifying the name and brushing the sense of existence, right? So they may have made such a thing out of the head, and this thing is not really prepared for commercialization, but has other purposes in it. ”

When he got out of the elevator first, Liu Shumeng said: "It seems that your bee company is doing the same for that tablet, only making a thousand units, and it also requires users to apply for it and then you review it before sending it." ”

"The cost of the bee tablet is more than 2,000, but it only sells for 2,000 yuan, and the more you sell, the more you lose, so we set the amount of 2,000. ”

"Then why don't you set the price higher, say two thousand five or something?"

"Do you want to buy two thousand five?"

"I hesitated for a long time to sell two thousand yuan at that time, if it weren't for the fact that the bee tablet had very good support for NDS artifacts, maybe I wouldn't have bought it. ”

The so-called NDS artifact is an NDS and GBA game simulator that suddenly appeared on the Internet at the end of 2006. This is called "NG4AA (NDSGBA4ALLARMS)" is an open-source software that supports the simulation of running NDS games on mobile phones with screen resolutions greater than 256x384 (NDS resolution 256x192, dual screens) and using ARM9 series processors.

Because NDS game consoles use ARM9 and GBA use ARM7 series processors, it is the least difficult to port NDS games to other high-performance ARM processors, and the difficulty is even less if the mobile phone screen resolution is sufficient and supports touch screens. Because the software is open source and natively supports English, Japanese, Chinese, French, Spanish and other Chinese languages, it received a lot of attention as soon as it appeared on the Internet, and immediately broke out after it was confirmed that it was not a prank joke but a real "Christmas gift".

Because the original name is too awkward, and the relationship between the many modified versions of open source, foreign players generally call this kind of emulator software NDSKILLER (killer, killed a lot of sales of NDS), and domestic users call it NDS artifact.

After downloading the NG4AA source code, experienced developers only need to modify the relevant code about the screen, touch screen, and sensor slightly to make it recognize the driver of loading the new hardware, and then achieve the goal of porting NG4AA to the new phone. Even if the hardware is not very good, such as some old phones with a resolution that is not up to the requirements, or there is no touch screen, you can only port the GBA emulator part, as long as the screen resolution is greater than 240x160 pixels.

Although Nintendo angrily demanded that the website that released the series of software be blocked and taken off the shelves, otherwise it threatened to sue, but because the software was open source and freely disseminated, it has never been able to curb the spread of this open source software, just like BT and eMule cannot be banned because they are open source and free.

In the country where piracy and cracking are popular, the NDS artifact that natively supports simplified and Chinese traditional Chinese has also been introduced by enthusiastic players for the first time, and soon there are modified versions with the names and logos of several stand-alone and video game portals, and some copycat mobile phones and MP4 manufacturers with a keen sense of smell have begun to make their products have this popular fashion function through firmware updates.

Bee OS is not exempt from vulgarity, and there have been more than a dozen different versions of NDS and GBA emulators in the mobile phone area of the wisdom center, and all of them use the source code of the artifact without exception.

The new tablet launched by Bee during the winter vacation,It is also pre-installed with an emulator software called "nga",The game runs very well,In Liu Shumeng's words, "I feel that the original version of the explosion is too much drag on the black and white screen below, which affects the appetite." ”

"Of course, the screen resolution is much better. And after a two-year interval between them, according to Moore's Law, the performance doubled in 18 months and the price was halved, and the performance of the new product was definitely better than the old one. As for why the lower screen is not made into the same color screen,According to the feeling that I have used the bee tablet for a semester,The advantage of black and white screen power saving is too strong,I am reluctant to take it off。 ”

"By the way, is the bee tablet you and the fourth sister used last semester the prototype of the bee company?

The third brother suddenly turned into a dog-legged entertainment mode, and Atletico Madrid was no longer surprised, and gently pushed him away, "It's just that the bees pay us two salaries, and what benefits won't forget our relationship." ”

In the past six months, many people have inquired about the relationship between Atletico Madrid's Tang Jiayi and Bee Technology, but their answers are always ambiguous and foggy. On the one hand, he said that he was just a small employee who received a salary, but he had never been in a hurry to work, and he drove a Mercedes-Benz of hundreds of thousands, but he said that it was the company's car. After a long time, the nickname "Rich Generation", which Atletico Madrid created by itself, is no longer called, and everyone is too lazy to care about Atletico's ** problem.

Seeing that Atletico Madrid was still talking nonsense as usual, Liu Shumeng changed the topic and asked: "By the way, Atletico Madrid, why did I fail to install JAVA software in JAR format on the tablet, can I only use the software and games in the Bee Wisdom Center?"

Extending his right index finger, Atletico said, "First, you must use the Bee Mobile Assistant to install," and then he held out his middle finger, "Second, you must remain connected to the Internet during installation." ”

When installing third-party software through Bee Mobile Assistant, the mobile assistant will query the mobile phone model and the software online, and download the Bee adapted version of the software, which means that Bee OS does not support third-party software obtained from channels other than Bee Smart Center at all.

"Let's put it this way, although the name is the same and the technical source is the same, but the jar format used by bees is actually not the same as that used by other manufacturers, and it may be changed to another name in the future. ”

Although Atletico Madrid's Bee OS has been developed for more than half a year, and the continuous iterative updates have gradually departed from the traces of imitating other mobile phone operating systems at the beginning, it is still only a semi-finished product and cannot be regarded as a complete and independent smartphone operating system.

It is more concerned about the ability to perfectly complete specific tasks on specific devices, more like the operating system of a feature phone, so Atletico named the bee tablet as an electronic notebook, because it is embarrassing to call itself a "tablet", of course, there is also a "tablet" that looks down on Microsoft's "tablet" The meaning of your sister, the tablet is equipped with a VGA display interface and keyboard, are you not limited in weight?

The reason why TabletPC is doing this is because this is a Microsoft-led system, and it also uses a special version of the XP system that supports touch screens, and it is understandable that manufacturers are trying to carry forward this selling point. But because of this design, the functions of tablet and laptop are highly overlapped, but there is no deeper resource accumulation of the latter, so it has always been out of disadvantage.

Bee OS does not have these historical burdens, and it is usually Atletico or users who add what features are urgently needed. In addition to the bee tablet in order to extend the battery life of an electronic ink screen, it is completely user demand-oriented.

Users don't care whether they are holding a smartphone or a feature phone, and the market is still in the era when function is king.

For example, Jupiter B4 mobile phones have a rather embarrassing common combination: after many users buy B4 mobile phones, they abandon the standard camera glasses and buy external cameras produced by manufacturers. So much so that after February, the B series mobile phones that left the factory simply removed the camera glasses that had been reduced to chicken ribs to reduce costs and prices.

This thing is actually to take down the camera module embedded in the glasses frame and replace it with other camouflage shapes, and at the same time add a design similar to the headphone line control on the signal line, which can record and take pictures with one click, so as to facilitate the secret visits and candid photography activities of reporters and comrades.

Although there are also opposing voices, saying that this is suspected of being a spy equipment, but because of the low technical difficulty and considerable price, there are several manufacturers on the market in the production of these plug-in cameras. And the function is constantly innovating, and now even a microphone module has been added, which can realize simultaneous recording, and the volume is getting smaller and smaller, and the camouflage ability is getting better and better.

The reason why users give up the "original" camera glasses is because with the release of various undercover programs and the spread of online gossip, this single style of camera glasses has been "exposed". Many people can recognize at a glance that the two black dots on both sides of this black-framed glasses are not decorations but cameras, making it lose the privacy of "secret interviews", so user needs have given birth to a new version of the plug-in camera with better camouflage ability and even synchronous recording function.

At the same time, there are many other candid camera devices and candid mobile phones on the market, but they have never been able to shake the status of B series mobile phones. Even though they have removed the camera glasses, they are still the hardware base that all kinds of candid artifacts rely on.

When the hardware configuration is the same or close, the camera performance of other copycats is not as good as that of the Jupiter B series, although they may use the same hardware and the same Bee OS, this is because the Bee OS has a special optimization result for the B series. At first, Atletico Madrid habitually took care of "once kissed son", and then it became Jupiter who paid for it.

The two sides are very satisfied with this cooperation, and will continue to deepen the cooperation in this area, the previous bee notebook, bee USB flash drive and other hardware peripheral products are even manufactured in shallow earthquake, shallow shock shipment. Only the latest Bee Flat was changed to a shallow shock production, and Heron Island was shipped, as Atletico Madrid's new paint was needed.

When the two of them returned to the dormitory, they found that the eldest Liu Haiyang had actually arrived at the school, his chair was pulled aside, and a black computer case was placed in place, and the second brother Li Jiaming was squatting there to connect the VGA cable, keyboard and mouse cable, or something.

"Boss, when did you come back? When we went out just now, we said that you were probably watching beautiful women on the train, how could you force you to arrive at once?" Bypassing Li Jiaming's back, Atletico put the shopping bag in his hand on his desk, turned around and joined the ranks of onlookers.

"I arrived at noon, but I didn't go back to school, but got off the train and went to the computer city, and I just came back with the delivery car from the computer city. ”

"Ah, which computer city is so magnanimous that it has been sent to you for more than 100 kilometers?"

"How is it possible? It's over on the ferry, and I still call Jiaming and ask him to help me move my things back. ”

"Boss, why don't you call me? Let's count together to help!" Atletico Liu Shumeng said in unison, and the two of them came to their senses and said in unison again: "Oh! It's an elevator!"

"I went to my house with my third brother to pick up something just now, and the two of us may have been in the elevator when you called, boss, but we didn't receive it," Atletico said.

"Hmm. Okay!" Finally, connecting the power cord to the power strip, Li Jiaming stood up and moved his waist, and then bent down again to find the plug at the other end of the patch board, got under the desk, and plugged it in to turn on the power.

Liu Haiyang waited for him to come out and pressed the power button on the chassis, accompanied by a buzzer chirp of "drop", forcing OS to start guiding the system to self-test and start.

The system has been installed in the computer city,The blue loading progress bar on the windowslogo interface has entered the system desktop without running a few laps,The upper right corner of the desktop wallpaper is impressive"Tomato Garden Bee Special Edition" nine words。

"Heh, it seems that our profiteers on the island also like bees!" Seeing this, Li Jiaming teased at Atletico Madrid.

"They just want to be easy to install, and the one who really likes bees is the tomato garden. ”

Although Bee Software has long launched owner certification and given most of the promoter benefits to users, there are still some users who are too lazy to carry out owner certification. There is a loophole in this: some technicians will make a so-called "Bee software integration package" to distribute on the Internet, and the integration package is actually a repackaged Bee software, which contains preset account login information. As a result, the new bundle rewards generated by using the modpack will flow into the default account and will eventually be collected and cashed.

And the Tomato Garden Bee Special Edition is based on the Tomato Garden GhostXP installation disc,Combined with the iso disc image file launched by the Bee Integration Pack,It's an "impostor",Not produced by Tomato Garden。

In this case, Bee only warns of the hazards on its official website and other means, reminding users that Bee does not have any integrated version except for the 2007 All-in-One Suit, and do not download Bee software from untrustworthy channels to avoid poisoning.

Another is to remind users to register and log in to a new Bee Pass account in time to avoid affecting normal use: users who use the same modifier will use the same Bee Pass by default, and there will be cases of mutual accounts being added according to the online time.

However, the bees actually have a tacit acceptance of this modpack, as evidenced by the fact that they have not completely banned multiple logins to the same account.

After confirming that the computer was turned on normally, Li Jiaming ignored the upgrade prompt of the Bee Wisdom Center in the lower right corner, and directly pressed alt+F4 to shut down, and helped push the chassis into the chassis shelf under the desk.

"You picked this chassis well, and it was just enough to push it in," Liu Shumeng was envious next to him.

"It seems that as long as it's a normal height, if you don't have that obstructive handle, you can stuff it in, right?" Li Jiaming, who was about to go out to wash his hands, heard the third child's words, turned his head and said: "Third child, you still cut off the ears that are in the way!"

Cut it!

"My ears are good!" Liu Shumeng retorted weakly, but there was no second brother at the door.

"Haha!" Atletico and Liu Haiyang bent down with a smile.

Rebooted, the Bee Wisdom Center once again popped up a bubble prompt that needed to be updated, and this time Liu Haiyang clicked on it to update immediately.

"Wait for me to turn on the computer and speed it up for you!" Atletico returned to his place and turned on his all-in-one machine and the workstation of the wave VOD. Bee Wisdom Center uses P2P download acceleration technology, which can download update patches from the same LAN user at high speed, but it still needs to verify the legitimacy and integrity of the patch online.

After turning on the two-child computer, Atletico Madrid took the dragon-core box and compared it, and finally stuffed it into the bookshelf, next to a small black box that looked very similar to it, but it was a multi-screen display switcher.
