Just when Ye Tianwei was still bothered by the question of whether the handle was broken, the enemy tank began to move, and he didn't have much chance to think at all. The two armored tanks first flashed from the birthplace, and then outflanked them in two ways, Ye Tianwei found that the situation was not good, and pressed the arrow button again to try to hide in a safer position, but unfortunately the tank still did not move, and he was a little relieved that the tank could still fire, and it was just right to hit the armored tank that drove over. Relying on the fact that he had eaten two stars and the cannon speed was relatively fast, Ye Tianwei killed the approaching armored tank, and Chen Xiaohao on the other side was not so lucky, because the direction of the muzzle was wrong, he was killed before he could resist.

Before Ye Tianwei could kick his breath, two red tanks drove over again. This time it was easy to deal with, Ye Tianwei knocked out the leader one with one shot, and a shovel flashed above the screen again. This time, Ye Tianwei saw clearly, the enemy tank could really eat treasures, and the poor headquarters instantly became an undefended area, and his back couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Seeing that another red tank was approaching, Ye Tianwei had to fire again, this time it was even worse, and another pocket watch appeared, although it was not far from Ye Tianwei and Chen Xiaohao, but the two of them couldn't move, and could only watch a fast tank run over and eat the pocket watch.

Ye Tianwei and Chen Xiaohao glanced at each other, sighed in unison, gave up resistance, and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts: "Alas, today is really declining!"

The two who couldn't move had no ability to resist, first Ye Tianwei was blown up by two cannons of the fast tank that appeared from behind, and then the two of them watched a shell flying from above next to the headquarters slowly floated down, and the headquarters exploded next to the two.

At this point, Ye Tianwei and Chen Xiaohao can only abdicate to make way for Xian. Not to be outdone, the two players immediately took the handle and continued to fight, but apparently the two were even more unlucky, and before they could go far, they fired a bomb, but the terrible thing was that the bomb actually appeared in the area where the enemy tank was refreshed, and soon, the two were sent back to their hometown by the bomb without any accident. However, the player's strength is strong, although the first two days were a little unprepared for the sudden new situation, but after analysis and research, the players quickly mastered the new fighting techniques, and the battle atmosphere in the store slowly began to get back on track.

The revision of "Tank Wars" continues, but this time the poor players finally have some compensation, and the development team of the discovery of conscience finally provides players with two powerful treasures (of course, enemy tanks will still not be humble in front of new treasures). Since a certain creator is obsessed with the sci-fi world, he came up with the following two names, one is called "Pulse Electron Gun" (commonly known as a pistol), which can instantly provide the strongest firepower for the player's tank, and can even knock out the grass by eating two in a row. Another is called the "Amphibious Ability" (commonly known as the Ship), which allows the player's tank to pass through the blue water of the original moat. Now the players in the sub-store have a new kind of fun, but sometimes the exclamation of enemy tanks suddenly passing through some of the previously fortified obstacles is a little less harmonious.

The struggle and counter-struggle are still going on, and the "Tank Wars" in Fu Zan's hands is also constantly changing, until soon after the FC-related patents were obtained, two cassettes containing the research results of this period were finally sent to Zhang Lexing. One of them is the result of Fu Zan leading the development team in the small building at No. 16 Meiwu Road, this version he named "88 Tank Battle", in order to leave his mark, the development team specially left special marks on several maps - "Fuzhou", "Yantai Mountain", "Tianzhiyuan" and "546406" (the phone number of Tianzhiyuan) and other words spelled out with brick walls.

The other cassette is a little different, the game map is by Fu Zan, but the main program modification is done by Chen Tianming. Chen Tianming is Fu Zan's high school classmate, and he has been unable to move due to illness since he was a child, but he has not given up on himself because of this, and has been actively working hard. After graduating from high school, Chen Tianming began to teach himself computer technology, and after joining Tianzhiyuan, he was further exposed to more professional knowledge, and soon became a senior programmer of Tianzhiyuan. Considering Chen Tianming's body, Fu Zan bought a 286 computer and put it in Chen Tianming's house as a development machine, so as not to run around, so from the beginning of the modification of "Tank Wars" there were two versions. With the support of Fu Zan, Chen Tianming directly modified the game from the source code, adding special gameplay such as launching missiles and reinforcing fortifications to the game. Because "Tank Wars" is to fire a cannon whether you press the A button or the B button, Chen Tianming changed the A button to a missile launch button, and the missile launched by the player can ignore all obstacles on the map and pass directly, and can also turn around after the end. The missile function is so powerful, of course, the number must be limited, the initial number of missiles is only three, once used up, the player does not have to be discouraged, at this time you can also drive the tank to the red brick or white iron block, press the A button to lift the red brick or white iron block, to the place where you need to build fortifications or set up barricades, and then press the A key to put down, so that the player can design fortifications more freely, and can even control the enemy's tank action by setting up barricades. This version, which was finally modified by Chen Tianming, was named "Missile Tank" by Fu Zan.

Looking at the two cassettes on the table with a slightly rough appearance, Zhang Lexing picked up one casually. Plugging the cassette into the console, turning it on, and with the accompaniment of familiar music, the thoughts that had been in the dust for a long time came back to my mind, but it didn't feel the same anymore.

Of course, the cassette carrying the hard work of the Tianzhiyuan development team and Chen Tianming will not be just given to Zhang Lexing to play alone, after communication, "88 Tank War" and "Missile Tank" have been added to Nintendo's 88 spring and autumn game release list respectively, and will be sold to the world. After completing the work of the revised version of "Tank Wars", Zhang Lexing arranged a promising development task for the working group of Tianzhiyuan, and the production plan of the long-hidden game "Cube" on the FC console was launched.

After nearly a year of study, Fu Zan feels that he and his team have a lot of experience in FC game development technology, although he has undertaken the production task of "FC Cube", but there is an idea in his heart that keeps emerging, that is, to make an original Chinese game. After playing many FC games (in order to let the development team understand the various forms of FC games, Zhang Lexing selected a lot of FC game cartridges to send to Fuzhou), Fu Zan found that in addition to English, it is Japanese, and in the process of contact with players during this time, some players have raised expectations for Chinese games, and they can't help but start to have some ideas in their hearts. Of course, Fu Zan knows that the time is not right now, one is that there is no suitable game script, and the other is the lack of professional art and music production (the art and music talents who went out for training have not yet returned), and more importantly, there are development tasks in hand, and starting two projects at the same time is not something that the current team's strength can bear. Fu Zan secretly made up his mind to find a suitable game script first, and then start when the staff was more neat, and he must make a good game that impresses the boss.

……

In the year that Fu Zan has worked hard, the learning machine research and development team has also worked hard. The R&D team is located in the Shenzhen cassette factory, and has been working in a secluded building in the factory since the beginning of its construction. The main R&D personnel are hardware engineers recruited from several research institutes in early 87 and technicians who have studied Hanka technology, and carry out research work on the basis of the original English version of the learning machine (split prototype).

After almost a year of research, the R&D team finally had the results that could come up with it, a set of split Chinese learning machines. Based on the prototype of the English learning machine of that year, and referring to the Chinese processing technology in the Hanka and Chinese character system of APPLE-II, a special Chinese system was designed for the learning machine, so that the learning machine could complete the normal display of Chinese characters. In order to be able to input Chinese characters, the R&D team negotiated with Wang Yongmin, the owner of the Wubi font patent, and added the popular Wubi font input method to the learning machine (no way, who made the Wubi font popular at this time). The keyboard circuit of the learning machine extends the 73 keys of the English prototype to 86 keys, and the circuit structure and key code definition are compatible with the prototype, but there are some more keys to resemble the keyboard of the computer.

This split learning machine can now provide functions such as: keyboard practice, typing practice games, five-stroke learning, Tang poetry appreciation, mathematical calculation, music composition practice, BASIC program writing, English learning, etc., which is a bit like the learning machine in Zhang Lexing's impression.

The most complicated part of the split learning machine is the learning card, and all the additional functions must be implemented on the learning card. In order to realize the display of Chinese characters, the R&D team designed a 2K RAM on the card to store the font number of Chinese characters, and then used the GAL logic circuit to realize the dynamic body of Chinese characters to display the Chinese characters in the Chinese character library. It's just that this technology is a bit flawed, and the RAM address space used to store the Chinese character font number 2K just overlaps with the VRAM second page address used to store the display code on the FC host, resulting in the second page of VRAM can no longer be used to achieve curtain pulling after inserting the learning card, and the direct impact is that the BASIC language attached to the learning machine cannot be used to write a more complex game, and then the current popular Logo language transplantation in primary and secondary schools is a bit difficult.

It's a pity that the current R&D team seems to have fallen into some kind of bottleneck and has not been able to find a more scientific way to improve this split learning machine. In order to get the R&D team out of the predicament, and also to enhance the strength of the learning machine R&D team, Zhang Lexing is preparing to set up a new research institute in Shanghai in the name of Tianzhiyuan. In order to save trouble, Zhang Lexing entrusted him to Shanghai to help find a suitable place to set up a research institute, but he did not expect to make a breakthrough in the research of learning machines.

(I would like to use this article to remember the career of the red and white machine and the learning machine, especially the good times when I fought on the front line of fighting tanks with my partners...... ）
