Guan Fei knew the disdain of the boss, but he didn't bother to pay attention to it, and his own ability was beyond the imagination of these people who had never seen the world.

In addition to electronic components, accessories, circuit boards, integrated circuits, central processing units, slots, data connections, high-precision oscilloscopes, multimeters, soldering irons and so on. In addition, I went to a chemical store to buy some chemicals and powders, and went to the furniture market to buy a batch of boards such as 19 mm thick particleboard, as well as woodworking tools.

Because there were too many things, Guan Fei simply rented a small truck temporarily, carrying the goods and following them around, purchasing all kinds of needed items.

By the time I got back to the temporary warehouse, it was already evening.

Guan Fei and everyone together moved the purchased things out of the car, sorted them into the house, and put relatively large things such as particle board into the warehouse.

"I'll rest first, and call me later when we eat." He poured a glass of water, showing a hint of fatigue.

"Got it."

The others exited the house, Zhou Xiaoyun gently led the door, and the group left with a low voice and laughter. In order to leave enough quiet rest space for the brigade commander, they all went downstairs and gathered in the warehouse to watch TV and laugh.

Guan Fei heard the voice and left, went downstairs, the fatigue on his face was swept away, he took off his shoes and went to bed, lay down comfortably, and closed his eyes.

"Turn off unnecessary auxiliary functions and start the circuit design module." He thought silently in his mind.

A point of light flashed in the dark background, and the point of light quickly expanded, unfolding a square light curtain in his mind. The light curtain looks thin, like a light veil, emitting a glimmer of light, not dazzling, but clear enough.

"Bring up the basic template one."

A complex circuit diagram emerges on the light curtain, densely packed with hundreds of various components, and the lines are vertical and horizontal, which is dazzling to see.

"Call the components purchased today, compare them with the template, and replace the components that are not on the original template with the purchase list to generate a new template."

The command is given, and one by one the components fly out from the right rear of the field of view and land on the circuit diagram. As some of the replacement components were dropped, the circuit diagram changed rapidly and was quickly fixed to generate a new circuit diagram.

The computing power of quantum computers is far superior to that of biological computers, but in the end, human beings still chose biological computers as auxiliary computing tools integrated into the human body.

There are two reasons for this.

First, its biological characteristics are not exclusive to the original cells of the human body, generating dense synapses on the cerebral cortex, borrowing the original inactive brain cells of the brain to form groups, and there is no need to occupy more cavities in the body. Normal brain cells are non-renewable in adulthood, and as people get older, their thinking activity will gradually decrease, and in severe cases, senile dementia will be accompanied. However, the biological auxiliary brain can produce new brain cells to replace the old brain cells after they die, so that human beings will always be at the peak of thinking.

The second is its fuzzy logic judgment function, which can accurately distinguish the host's unclear and ambiguous instructions, so as to accurately achieve the intended purpose of human beings. Through the mindwave receiving device, human beings can command their own bodies and be driven by various intelligent tools like their fingers.

Guan Fei does not need to design the circuit one-on-one, as long as the corresponding template is determined, the biological auxiliary brain can automatically generate the circuit diagram according to the components.

His original template was the classic arcade game "Space Invaders" that will be released next year by the Taidong Company. The original circuit board uses the 8080 processor, which was developed by Intel Corporation in 1974 and clocks at 2 megahertz.

Guan Fei didn't plan to replace it at first, but Intel has always only sold its chips to its customers, and there are no retail bulk products on the market. And he asked the boss, Intel's things are extremely expensive, and the price of an 8080 is as high as 147 US dollars, according to the current Hong Kong dollars, US dollars 5. At a price of 8 to 1, a chip costs 852 Hong Kong dollars!

He doesn't have that much money to burn!

An arcade machine, the most expensive part is mainly the color picture tube, processor, one-time writing memory, data exchange memory, these are the big things, the picture tube cost him 1,100, 12K one-time writing memory 248 Hong Kong dollars, which adds up to 1,03, if the processor comes more than 800, it will be 2,12.

Other parts such as printed circuit boards, various general-purpose components, box wood, joysticks, buttons, etc., which need to be processed by other factories, will the cost of an arcade machine be nearly 3,000?

This is not counting the opening of the factory in the future, the wages of workers and the rent of the factory are all added together, and the cost will go straight to 4,000!

This is Guan Fei's first product, and in the early days when there was no fame and a sales network was not built, the sales volume was definitely not high. Since it is a money-making thing, of course, it is necessary to ensure that every time you sell a unit, you will get the highest profit. If you think about Space Invaders, it's a game that is so popular because of its groundbreaking design, not its performance.

Early arcade machines had a fart performance!

Therefore, he abandoned the 8080 and additionally chose Motorola's 6502 as the CPU.

The 6502 is also an eight-bit processor, which came out a year later than the 8080, and the initial frequency is the same as the 8080, which is two megahertz. But its price is much gentler than 8080, only 25 US dollars, 145 Hong Kong dollars, only one-sixth of 8080, and there is no limit to purchase!

It is no wonder that Jobs created Apple in the future and also chose it as the central processing unit, not to mention cheap, and there is no need to be angry with the big bullies of Intel Corporation.

"Start the wiring, generate the printed circuit board." After the biological subbrain performs a circuit logic check to confirm that the circuit is not conflicting, Guan Fei commands to generate a printed circuit diagram.

Although a printed circuit diagram is a wiring diagram of a circuit diagram, it is not simply a matter of moving the circuit diagram to a printed circuit board.

In fact, when wiring, it is necessary to take into account the interference of adjacent components, whether the heat of the device is accumulated, the width and length of the wire, the maintenance and disassembly, and other factors, which is a special knowledge in the modern electronics industry. If Guan Fei didn't have the assistance of a biological auxiliary brain and relied on his own design, according to his unfamiliarity with the characteristics of components in this era, he wouldn't be able to get it in a month or two.

Of course, with a biological side brain, everything is simple.

A command, and a complete printed circuit diagram appears in my mind.

The problem with the circuit is solved, but everything is not fine, and the next step is to recompile the source code of the Space Invaders in the database.

The source code of this game was written for 8080, and since the processors have been changed, of course the source code has to be rewritten. Moreover, the video circuit, audio circuit, data exchange, etc. have been changed to a certain extent, so the source code will naturally be greatly modified for the change of the circuit.

To say that it is a revision is almost the same as rewriting it.

In this era, transferring a program from this computer to another type of computer is called porting, and it is necessary to be familiar with the difference between the two circuits, processor instructions, data exchange, and many other problems.

Fortunately, there is a biological side brain!

Guan Fei was fortunate again.

In this era, computer performance is limited, and game programs are still too short and concise, and Space Invaders, a classic in gaming history, is only 11K bytes long. Guan Fei hadn't come back to his senses yet, the program had been recompiled, and lines of code flowed down in front of his eyes like a waterfall.

In the state of thinking, Guan Fei's reaction was very fast, and he found that the biological subbrain was worthy of being a master of fuzzy logical judgment, not only recompiled the source code, but also changed the copyright information and the production company, and called the name he was going to give to the company in the future - Taiyu Technology.

The company logo is a Taiji diagram, black and white, simple and eye-catching. Anyway, Taijitu has no copyright, and misappropriation is misappropriation.

Isn't it true that computers are inspired by Tai Chi, so why don't I just use Tai Chi as my company logo? People in South Korea have stolen the Taijitu as the national flag, and the dignified sons and daughters of China should use the Taijitu as the company's logo, isn't it more reasonable?

Defy?

There's a kind of you bite me!

Guan Fei jumped up from the bed, he was modifying the circuit, generating the printed drawing, and recompiling the source code, it seemed that there were a lot of things, but in fact, it only took a few seconds, it can be said that he just lay down and got up.

This pediatric design does not consume much bioenergy at all.

When he was in charge of game planning and design, hundreds of engineers in the company were lying together, each designing a functional module. Then, through the thinking network, the modules are integrated on the company's biological host, and then the quantum host makes logical judgments.

The ported version of the Space Invaders he just worked on, this little bit of calculation, not even one-ten-thousandth of the normal operation, is nothing. Lying down is just the result of his many years of work habits, and when it is urgent, he stands in front of others, blinks an eye, and everything is done.

When you pretend to be forced in the future, you can try it......

Guan Fei got up, turned out the drawings he bought today, found the drawing pen and ink, came to the desk and sat down, unfolded the drawings, and dipped the ink into the ink to draw quickly.

The one he drew was not a circuit diagram, let alone a printed diagram, but an exploded view of the frame part of the game console.

The arcade machine started in 1971, and everyone didn't have any concept at the beginning, but it was a little bit of a way to improve, and the shape design was also strange. For example, the earliest "ping pong" looks very strange.

Historically, the Space Invaders game, which was supposed to be launched next year, was originally designed in the shape of a flat table because it was promoted in restaurants and other places. The monitor is placed vertically under a glass panel, and when customers are bored, they toss a coin or two to play around.

But this design has a fatal flaw, that is, the head is hooked for a long time, playing the game at a 90-degree angle, and the neck will be twisted in a little time.

In later versions, Taidong Company launched a vertical model, with the monitor tilted at 45 degrees in front of the player, so that players can stand and play. Later, considering that players would get tired after standing for a long time, it was changed to a half-height vertical type, which reduced the height of the arcade, and players could play while sitting.

For the time being, Guan Fei is not ready to design a half-height vertical type, but an ordinary vertical body.

The company start-up, you don't have to come up with the best design at the beginning, step by step, you can also make users feel that the company is considerate and attentive to users, and it is not bad to win a little goodwill. A few more innovative designs can also establish the company's image in the industry.

Money has been earned, fame has been gained, why not?
