Chapter 12 Operating System
There is no old-fashioned development of the thatched house, and Lin Yan's performance that day, although it was a little surprising, was not yet to the point of shock.
The confrontation between the two universities was held as scheduled, and the place where the competition was held was in the gymnasium, which had many seats and a large place, which was still more suitable for holding the competition.
However, it is a pity that there is no large-screen broadcasting equipment in this era. Whether it is a projection that later generations feel is not high-end, or a huge LCD screen, there is none.
To achieve this, there are many technologies that need to be developed. In the case of projection, if nothing else, the first thing to develop is to ensure the brightness and service life of the projection bulb.
Not to mention 10,000 hours of trouble-free use, at least it must be able to last more than five hours. If it is less than five hours, then the bulb will have no use value at all, and it is only suitable for throwing it into the garbage.
On the day of the game, Lin Yan, who didn't have much to do, also came to the stadium where the game was played. In fact, there are many people who come to see the game, but they have never heard of StarCraft and Warcraft at all.
They came to see the excitement more often, after all, in their impression, the computer is an advanced thing, which seems to be kept in a glass room, and it is not easy to meet each other.
As for being able to play games with this advanced gadget, that's another surprising thing.
The vast majority of people have played red and white machines. After all, thanks to the efforts of Chiba Youga, the price of the red and white machine has become very affordable, and it can basically be bought with two months' wages of ordinary workers.
This price can't be said to be cheap, but compared to appliances such as TVs and refrigerators, red and white machines are already very cheap.
The sales of red and white machines in China have encountered many problems. The final solution is nothing more than four words, "benefit equalization", so that everyone who comes into contact with it. All of them can get the corresponding benefits, feed them. I won't call it.
In fact, this solution cannot be described as a success, but rather a compromise. However, there is not much that can be done, and that is the only way.
After all, there are too many things involved here, and any bull, ghost, snake and god can come out and get a piece of the pie. It's really not easy to really get these things clear.
When Lin Yan watched the game, he felt quite boring. Why do you say that? It's because video games aren't like traditional events.
Even if there is no real-time broadcast on the big screen, you can still see those people moving around to watch the fun. Without the broadcast system, it is impossible for everyone to see the small screen in front of the players.
Therefore, the effect of the competition is not very ideal. More people don't know anything about the game of video games. The players were very serious on the stage. And the audience, because they can't see the picture of the game, or they don't understand it when they see it. It's more about watching the players start to judge.
Lin Yan remembered the computer game competitions held by Chiba Games, and the people on the scene. Except for the group of relatives and friends, there are basically not many audiences.
More people are watching through small screens in their homes. After all, Chiba Games has the money to buy the showtime of the respective TV station.
Since the ratings are not bad. So at the end of the day, you can add up the prize money and the venue, and everything else. The Chiba game didn't cost much.
Even, thanks to the support of the sponsors. And a little bit of a profit.
The sponsors support it, of course, to make money. They sponsor it, and Chiba Games provides them with advertising here.
Of course, Chiba Games is not working blindly, but to let more people know about the game.
Lin Yan watched the game for a while, felt bored and left. Video games are a new thing, and there is still a long way to go.
In fact, there are now video game shows on several local stations in China. It's more of a show with a red and white machine.
After all, video games are now very popular among the people. As long as the program is produced, there will be a lot of ratings. For TV stations, ratings are everything, money.
As far as the policy allows, they will broadcast any program that can be broadcast to attract attention.
Different TV stations have different production ideas for different programs.
Some TV stations are making customs clearance videos of various games of the red and white machine, introducing various tips, and of course there is the set of programs that the copycat Hayashi made in Japan.
However, there are two hosts here, compared to Lin Yan's side in Japan, which conducts TV programs ranging from ten to twenty minutes a day.
Here the TV shows are at least half an hour.
There is also a program that introduces the latest foreign games, and the latest is of course the game of the new super red and white machine. Many people, who originally bought the red and white machine and already felt that they were at the top of the times, were a little stunned when they saw this program on this TV station.
Although, the three-dimensional game introduced in the show still looks very rough. But it still brought enough shock to these people.
Of course, if you do these programs, there will be advertisers with relevant interests. At the end of each episode, there will be a hotline for interested viewers to call and order.
Chiba Game China Branch,Although I saw this program and the advertisement above,But there is no intention of introducing the new super red and white machine to Chinaใ
Because, the price of the new super red and white machine is a bit expensive, which is not suitable for the current consumption level here. Even if it is introduced, it is only a plaything for a small number of people.
Moreover, as long as Chiba games are not introduced, then the new super red and white machine is a "distant foreign thing" for Chinese players. Even if you know, you should buy or buy a red and white machine.
However, if Chiba Games is introduced here, then the red and white machine will become a backward product. Buying new rather than buying old is a mentality that many people have.
Therefore, this show and that advertiser survived. Chiba Games didn't go into trouble with them either.
However, here is gradually preparing for the introduction of super red and white machines.
After entering the Chinese market, Chiba Games only knew how big this market was. Although, now this market is still quite poor. But. It is these poor people, but in half a year. More than 30 million red and white machines have been purchased. This basically catches up with one-fifth of the sales of red and white machines.
It seems that China's red and white machine sales have not yet declined. Look at it this way. China is basically the largest market after Japan and the United States. It's even bigger than the European market.
Such a result made many people stunned, including Yuki Chiba.
Everyone, no matter who they are, will have a stubborn and stereotypical image of something. Just as the British think that Americans are a bunch of exiles, China has given people the impression of backwardness and poverty over the years.
Of course, at the same time, no one denies that this is a powerful country. But. This level of power seems to be very limited.
It seems to be about the same as India.
Of course, this is not bad, you must know that when India became independent, it was once the leading big brother of the third world countries, even compared to China, it was a little inferior.
Whether it is military strength or technical ability, it is very good. They were Top Gun at the time, though. With the fight with China, their status as the leading big brother, as well as their dream of becoming a great power, have been shattered to a certain extent.
Even. In the years that followed, Indian officials even denied that such a battle had ever existed.
Lin Yan doesn't care much about these national affairs, all he cares about is how to promote video games. Make video games accessible to more people.
Even if it makes money, it is actually a foreshadowing for the promotion of video games.
After all. Without money, there will be no scientific research, and without scientific research and technology, there will be no progress. The speed at which video games are promoted. will be slower.
Recently, a research lab in Japan has developed a technology to enhance network bandwidth.
Specifically, it seems to be modem and demodulation technology.
Lin Yan doesn't know much about this aspect, but it seems that he is not changing the hardware foundation of the current telephone line, but he can greatly increase the bandwidth by installing some small equipment and implementing certain algorithms. It is said that the theoretical limit can reach eight megabit speeds.
However, the results of the current laboratory test are only about one trillion bandwidth.
Although one trillion of bandwidth, it seems that the hotel is inconspicuous, however, compared to the current kitten full of crawling, even posting a picture on the forum, there is an era of "multi-picture killing cats", the emergence of such a technology is indeed an epoch-making technology.
Since Chiba Games is a professional video game company and is not involved in the field of communication, the results of this technology were transferred to the Chiba Group.
The Chiba Group has a specialized communication company, and I believe that they will solve this communication technology.
Lin Yan doesn't care how much profit this technology can make, he only cares about one thing, that is, when one trillion networks are popularized, another revolution in home game consoles will come.
Multiplayer battles are sure to flourish. However, it will take three and a half years for a technology to come out of the laboratory and then become popularized on a large scale.
Although the new super red and white machine already supports networking, however, because the fuselage itself does not have a hard disk, it can only exchange data and carry out networking operations, and the so-called download of games still cannot be realized.
Although,Chiba games also have a way to patch it.,It's to issue the corresponding accessories.,Let players go and change this machine to a hard disk by themselves.ใ
However, there is another problem with this, which requires the console itself to have an operating system.
Supposedly, the technology on the operating system side, Chiba Games does also have it. Moreover, it has also cross-authorized patents with micro hard in the United States.
In other words, all the software of both systems can be used universally. The reason why Microsoft was able to do this is largely because in Japan, the computer system of Chiba games has become very popular. And because Japan is more xenophobic, the micro-hard operating system is difficult to promote in Japan, so I chose cooperation.
The operating system of a game console, of course, cannot be the same as that of a computer. Because, in terms of hardware, the difference between the two is already very big now.
The new Super Red & White machine, with a large number of electronic components, has been specially enhanced and designed for the game. For example, 3D games. On the computer, it is not very well implemented.
Even if a titanium graphics card is installed, it is not so easy to implement this technology. Now under the leadership of micro hardware, it seems that a graphics card protocol compatible with the machine is being made.
It is said that this protocol, if introduced, will be able to greatly accelerate the development of video games on computers.
Chiba Games was also a party involved in the development of the agreement.
However, it is enough to have reservations. After all, if you play all the games on your computer, then who will buy a console?
Lin Yan didn't have so many ideas, he knew that one day, the performance of the computer when playing games could surpass that of home game consoles.
This is something that cannot be helped, as long as electronic components still rely on Moore's Law to develop, there will definitely be such a day.
Nowadays, home game consoles are much better than personal computers. The main reason is that there is a special optimization here.
On the PC side, the main thing is still office.
And the further back on, because of the cost, the easier it is to unify the specifications of the hardware.
Even home game consoles may use the architecture of a personal computer.
A home game console, it seems, has become, a kind of computer with a special system.
There is nothing more powerful than a personal computer in terms of hardware capabilities. The only advantage is that there is a single variety of game consoles, and there is basically only one type of component used. Whether it's a CPU or a graphics processor, it's not going to be as diverse as a personal computer.
So, as long as you do a good job of this optimization, you don't have to think about compatibility at all. This greatly improves the display effect with the same computing resources.
If the later video game consoles are counted at 2,000 yuan each. So if you want to achieve the same display effect of the personal computer, it is generally to the level of four or five thousand yuan.
The computer is generally updated in one or two years, and the life of a home game console is basically more than five years, six or seven years.
That is to say, in terms of hardware costs, home game consoles are more cost-effective and save the toss, which is the advantage of video game consoles.
Of course, this advantage will fade later. After all, as time goes on, there seem to be fewer players who care about money.
And because of the price of the game, playing on consoles, it doesn't seem to be much cheaper than on computers.
So, in order to save the advantage, this is when the game of exclusive games comes out. Exclusive games are often hard and fast on a platform.
Some are exclusive for a limited time, such as one year or two years of exclusivity, and some are permanent exclusivity. It's all about using games to engage players.
It's actually the same thing as the current Mario series. (To be continued.) )
