Chapter 10 Speed Up [Ask for a Monthly Pass!Second Update]

Warmth is short-lived, just like everything in the world.

When he got off the ship and came to Wanhu China, he had to face people with a different face.

"President......" Sun Ming followed Takahashi and gave a brief introduction to everything he passed by.

It can be seen that he has indeed done his homework, although he has a not very good broken gong voice, even if there is an introduction written by the holy hand of the literary world, it will not be easy to hear.

But an introduction to Takahashi was at least enough.

On the first day of his return, Takahashi met with the heads of various departments and listened to their reports on the progress of the work, the results, and the problems encountered.

Although Takahashi has little understanding of the projects that are being carried out by 10,000 households. However, most of the work is just about understanding.

Although it is one level deeper than knowing, it is not deep enough to command.

It is always taboo for a layman to command an insider, and after listening to the report, most of Takahashi chose to trust the person in charge. Let them continue on the path they have taken.

A very small number of projects will be more in-depth.

For example, LCD screen technology, which is essential for making a new handheld.

"Can this kind of LCD screen be mass-produced now?" Takahashi said, pointing to the "color LCD screen" on the document.

"President, you can't ...... it yet" Ruan Ju, who is in charge of the research and development of the LCD screen, listed why this "color LCD screen" with the addition of "red" cannot be mass-produced.

Takahashi once gave the goal of the color LCD screen in the general direction.

The principle of achieving the color effect is achieved through red, blue, and green color offset light sheets.

Although it is not too much of a problem to put the phosphor coated with three colors in front of the LCD panel, it is a big problem to control the part of the corresponding color that lights up.

In order to solve this problem, it is not only necessary for the efforts of the LCD department itself, but also for the progress of the integrated circuit department.

Although, now you can't become fat by eating in one go, you can't make a color LCD screen with three primary colors and then you can mix "innumerable" colors at once. Then start by adding a color to gain experience.

It's like the era of black-and-white silent films, where red suddenly appears on the screen. The black ** crystal screen plus red color is also quite eye-catching.

It's a pity that now this kind of LCD screen has no way to be mass-produced, and it is still in the laboratory.

"So what is the best LCD screen that we can mass-produce right now?" Takahashi asked.

"That's it. Ruan Ju replied, resting his finger on the atlas he had drawn with his own hands.

When Gao Qiao's eyes fell on the description of this LCD screen, Ruan Ju continued, "This LCD screen is codenamed H-121, and it uses reflective dot matrix LCD screen technology with fourth-order gray scale. After testing, the display can still be seen clearly in direct sunlight......"

Takahashi listened to the parameters introduced by Ruan Ju and compared them with his opponent GAMEBOY. It was found that in terms of hardware parameters, the H-121 is almost identical to the Sharp LCD screen used by Nintendo.

This is not to say that Wanhu's technical strength has caught up with Sharp, although Wanhu's LCD technology comes from Sharp, but it is absolutely impossible to catch up with Sharp in such a short period of time.

Although there are many talents in Wanhu, the speed of catching up is very fast. But Sharp won't sit still, sitting there and waiting for ten thousand households.

It can only be said that Nintendo still uses mature (outdated) technology......

If you take the release time of the online GAMEBOY in another world as a reference, the release date of the GAMEBOY is not far away, just at the end of April this year.

This is also the reason why Takahashi was in such a hurry to return to the Chinese branch.

Don't think that there are only two companies that are eyeing the handheld market.

Because now Wanhu has a deep cooperative relationship with Sega, Wanhu knows that Sega is actually in the development of a handheld computer. In addition, such as NEC Electric, Atari, a hundred-legged insect that dies but does not stiffen, has a handheld plan.

Although in Takahashi's plan, he is not very eager to debut a new handheld. But you can't be too far behind.

At the very least, it is necessary to set the hardware specifications of the handheld first, so that it is convenient to organize people to develop handheld games while the handheld continues to improve.

"Hmm...... Prepare the specific data of this screen, and the size will be determined in two days. Takahashi said.

"Yes. ”

"Call the next one for me. Takahashi said as Ruan Ju got up to leave.

The second person to come in was Liu Jianguo, who was in charge of handling the chip design, and Takahashi had already told him the demand. He also lived up to his expectations, and really designed the chip and model he needed, this chip still uses a ten-micron process, but unlike the 8080, the structure and instruction set used in this processor are in line with the patent law, even if it is exported abroad, it is no problem at all.

Of course, in addition to the CPU, there are also two dedicated push processors. All of them are 10 microns, and the main frequency is basically the same as that of the current red and white machine.

This is not to say that the technological level of Wanhu is like this, and the new technology is not nothing, but it is used in large-scale production of handhelds, and the cost is unacceptable.

Takahashi has the same requirements for this new handheld machine as Tetris. It's cheap! It's cheap! It's cheap!

Others, including performance and ease of making games, were put on the back burner by Takahashi.

However, although Wanhu's processor does not use a common instruction set. However, the development is not as difficult as expected.

As long as it is used with Wanhu's development kit, it will not be as difficult to use as imagined.

And Wanhu's development kit, although the price is clearly marked, but in the future, as long as you make a game for Wanhu's handheld, you can take away a set for free.

If more than one set of development is required, the cost of multiple sets can also be deducted from the subsequent profits.

With Takahashi in charge, the molding speed of the handheld is much happier. What was originally a single part, one after another, was put together, and soon the prototype of a new machine was born.

The reason why the development process went so smoothly was that during the development of Tetris handheld, all the holes in the ground had been waded through.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, and it is difficult to try everything for the first time.

With Tetris' experience in the handheld and training the team, it seems a lot easier when it comes time to develop a truly interchangeable cartridge game console.

Still, that's the thing.

But in fact, it is still a test for all departments of Wanhu.

Don't look at a handheld as small, it requires a lot of technology.

This time, in addition to the multi-departmental cooperation within Wanhu, many domestic manufacturers also participated.

Although the news in China is closed, such a large-scale supply chain shock still let Nintendo know the approximate progress of Wanhu.

The speed at which they rolled out the handheld was accelerated.
