Chapter 130 Satellite Video Telephony
After Wang Mengyao left, Zhang Lexing continued to write and draw on a few pages in front of him, perfecting the "Adventure King" in his mind, and suddenly there was a "uh-oh" sound from the computer speaker, he hurriedly held the mouse and shook it, and the computer screen slowly lit up. After the entire computer desktop was revealed, Zhang Lexing skillfully pressed the ICQ hotkey and called up the message window, and after a closer look, it turned out to be Yang Xinxin who sent a message, "Brother, are you there?" ", followed by a smiley face symbol "^_^".
Zhang Lexing moved the mouse, clicked the reply button, and typed "Sister Xin, I'm here, what's the matter?" After that, I sent it back.
So the two chatted back and forth, and Zhang Lexing learned that Yang Xinxin had developed a software that used satellites for video communication, and she planned to find Zhang Lexing to give it a try. Zhang Lexing touched his chin for a while, and finally remembered that some satellite receiving equipment seemed to have been installed some time ago, and it was being placed in his office. So according to Yang Xinxin's instructions, after tossing for a while, the satellite terminal was finally connected to the computer through the parallel port, and then Yang Xinxin received a file of about 1.2M bytes sent by Yang Xinxin through ICQ. This document is not big, if it is one of those common 2M broadband in later generations, it will only be a matter of a few seconds, but at this time, it took about ten minutes to collect the so-called information highway that is close to the sheep's intestine path, but fortunately, the installation is still very fast.
After the software was installed, an icon like a satellite dish immediately appeared on the desktop, Zhang Lexing moved the mouse and clicked, started the software, and then entered the account number and password provided by Yang Xinxin into it, and began to log in. After waiting for a while, the software interface finally popped up, and Zhang Lexing also saw Yang Xinxin's video screen. The first impression of this software on Zhang Lexing is very similar to some online video conferencing software he has seen, very similar and concise pages, but the software in front of him seems to be only available for two people.
When it was actually used, Zhang Lexing immediately found the problem again, the delay of this software was too large, and it seemed to be as long as 2 seconds. In Zhang Lexing's impression, the channel of satellite communication should be quite wide, and the clarity of the video picture in front of him is also very average, and there is only Yang Xinxin's side, there is such a big delay, if there are more people, then it will be necessary.
When Zhang Lexing sent this question through text, it didn't take long for Yang Xinxin's explanation to come over, it turned out that this software was developed by the ICQ project team, and it was originally intended to be used on ICQ, but considering the current network situation, it was temporarily suppressed. After Yang Xinxin learned about it, it was just in time for his company's satellite communication to be established, so he turned out the video transmission software again, re-modified it, and became a special video communication software for satellites, but it is still in the testing period and has not been optimized, so this delay is too large. According to Yang Xinxin's researchers, if it can be optimized, the latency can theoretically be compressed to 400 milliseconds, which is also the limit of satellite communication. Although the video function is still a bit impractical, Zhang Lexing has also found one of the great benefits of satellite communications, at least the speed of transferring files is 200 times faster than the current Internet.
"Sister Xin, since the speed of satellite communication can be so fast, I think we can use it to establish a distributed internal patent and invention retrieval system, so that research institutes around the country have any new achievements, so that it will not be wasted." Zhang Lexing sent his thoughts over.
Unexpectedly, Yang Xinxin immediately replied: "I have considered this matter for a long time, and now this system is under development, and I may have the opportunity to use it this year." ”
Zhang Lexing shook his head, it seems that he is really the same as the hero, but he didn't expect that Yang Xinxin's side was already in front. After gossiping for a while, Yang Xinxin had something on her side, and the first "video chat" between the two had to end. After minimizing the ICQ, Zhang Lexing recalled the patent and invention retrieval system, in fact, he proposed this idea not to make any new breakthroughs in the operating system, anyway, the system has been established, and there is no need for him to follow behind and supervise all the time. The reason why Zhang Lexing proposed this search system for patents and inventions was just to see what the latest technology could be applied to game development, and now if you want to know this situation, you must find someone to pay attention to it from time to time, but if you have this search system, maybe you can find useful technologies in advance, so that you can have the opportunity to lead the trend of game development technology in the world.
When it comes to the retrieval of patents and inventions, Zhang Lexing can't help but think of the preservation of game creative materials, which are usually recorded in documents and then stored in the data room. Since the patents and inventions can be searched, is it possible to consider a similar internal idea draft retrieval system, so that any fresh ideas in the future, whether they can be realized immediately or not, can be entered into the computer system, and then game development companies and studios around the world can search for the ideas they need in this system, and can realize the paid transfer of the draft ideas through the internal trading system, so that anyone in the company can contribute their own ideas. Even when conditions permit, the scope of accepting the draft ideas can be further expanded, so that those companies under his command will no longer need to worry about the day of lack of entrepreneurship, and Zhang Lexing can release any good game ideas once they have them, maybe their ideas can be better realized.
Thinking of this, Zhang Lexing logged on to his work mailbox, wrote these thoughts into the email, and then sent a copy to Hong Mingjie, the general manager of Dongfang Electronic Entertainment Co., Ltd., and at the same time, by the way, he also sent a copy to Hua Ziqing, the general manager of Dongfang Holdings, and Xu Yeming, the director of the electronic entertainment division, asking them to promote this matter. Zhang Lexing's goal is not only to search for ideas drafts, but also to digitize the entire game development process, not only to find and trade ideas in the system, but also to apply for development projects through this system, manage the entire development process, and even include development funds. Once this system can be truly realized, the future game development management will be like completing tasks in the game, which can be completed with just a few clicks of the mouse, which can not only greatly improve the efficiency of the work, but also allow managers to grasp the development progress of the game in a timely manner. That's certainly good advice, at least in his opinion.
In the following time, Zhang Lexing continued to focus on perfecting the concept of "The King of Adventure", and occasionally dealt with some documents sent by the assistant, of course, after work, he did not forget to ask Chen Zishan to eat and tour the streets together, but the bodyguard never dared to bring less, and even Tang Jingyi was upgraded from a temporary helper to a long-term bodyguard.
Time passed little by little, and in the blink of an eye, two days were up, and the eighteen development team from the creative workshop also came to Hong Kong from Beijing as promised......
