"Switch to a 12 mm keyway cutter, rotate a little higher, and change the material to hardwood. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Master Zhang said as he touched the rough edge of the freshly milled wooden block.

The milling machine in the workshop was originally used to process metal parts. The material of the hydraulic game machine is wood, and if you want the milling machine to be able to produce wooden hydraulic game machine, you need to adjust and transform it appropriately.

Yu Sheng once proposed to use plastic as the shell material of the water-powered game machine, and use the injection molding process to make the water-powered game machine. Master Zhang and Master Li studied for a while but did not adopt this plan.

It's not that the injection molding scheme is not good, but that there is a lack of plastic in China. It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and there is no plastic to inject into what plastic.

In the end, the two masters decided to mass-produce the water-powered game machine using existing machines and wood materials that were relatively easy to obtain.

For the rest of his life, he didn't watch Master Zhang in the workshop to guide his apprentice to modify the machine, and at this time, he was by Nick's side, helping him tidy up his room.

Nick took the items out of the suitcase one by one and placed them in their proper places. Clothes, as well as some bits and pieces of daily necessities, were taken out. Revealing the orange-black rectangular machine with knobs and card slots pressed against the bottom of the case.

Yu Sheng didn't feel anything when he first saw it, until he saw the small square box attached to the rectangular box, and looked at the black joystick sticking out of it, and a red button in the upper left corner. I almost screamed in excitement.

Video game consoles!

It's a video game console!

The appearance of this small square box was almost identical to the description of the early video game console controller he had seen in his video game notebook.

Play! Play how to say.

Yu Sheng hurriedly opened the dictionary and spelled out the pronunciation according to the English letters on it. Then, like a mentally handicapped child, he pointed to the rectangular machine and shouted, "Play! Play! ”

Nick placed it on the table, then placed a dozen game cartridges aside. Watch the rest of your life dancing and write a paragraph on paper with a pen.

The rest of his life flipped through the dictionary, looked up word by word, and spent three minutes figuring out the meaning of all the words.

"You need a TV to play."

TV? Yes!

Yu Sheng thought of the old black and white TV at home, a light bulb popped out of his head, he said what he had just learned, wait a minute, and ran out of the smoke.

Nick shook his head as he looked at Yu Sheng, who had run away in a hurry, and he was now a little skeptical that Yu Sheng was the kind of mentally retarded genius who had been very popular recently. Otherwise, how can the talent who made the water-powered game machine be like this.

Yu Sheng first ran to his father to explain the situation, and he lied a little, saying that it was a foreign businessman who said that he needed a TV.

Yu Tiecheng can now be regarded as a request for Nick, not to mention a TV, even if it is a meteorite falling from the sky, if Nick wants it, he will find a way to get it.

Yu Sheng moved the black and white TV at home to Nick's room, and under Nick's stunned look, he put the TV on the table, grinned, showed a row of small white teeth, and patted the head of the black and white TV.

"You really want to play?" Nick wrote on the note.

Yu Sheng nodded vigorously.

Nick nodded his head to indicate that he understood, and then, taking out a few cables, began to connect them to the TV.

Seeing that the rest of his life was so interested in video games, Nick decided to insert Atari's master game "Pong" to let the rest of his life feel the charm of video games.

His machine is the second generation of home video game consoles that Atari began to produce in 1977, the Atari 2600.

He took it out on a business trip because he loved playing video games so much, and because he thought he would be able to find a game maker to make video games and work with them in Japan.

Although the company he worked for was mainly engaged in the sale of toys, his company also stepped into the field of video game cassette manufacturing in the context of the extremely hot video games in the United States and almost everyone plays them.

Atari does not have a monopoly on the manufacture of game cartridges, and anyone who wants to be able to make games for Atari consoles and make game cartridges.

Atari also doesn't review the quality of games, even if the quality of the game is very poor, or old games, it is common to change the packaging and continue to sell them.

Players in the United States buy games with their own eyes, and they will not return or exchange them after they are sold in the store.

A new game is $50 in the first week of launch, $30 in the second week, and $10 in the third week.

The market is chaotic and the demons are dancing.

The more than a dozen cassettes left by Nick are all high-quality cassettes that he has left over the years.

Why does the picture feel a little slow......

Nick looked at the black-and-white TV and felt that the picture was a little slow.

I haven't seen the game in its original form for the rest of my life, and there is no comparison, so naturally I don't know how slow it is.

One confused, one excited, two people, one with a handle in their hands, played the classic Atari game "Pong".

The gameplay of this game is almost indistinguishable from that of real-world ping-pong.

In the middle of the TV screen is a white breakpoint line, which means boundary. On the left and right sides of the top of the line, there are two large Arabic numeral zeros, representing the scores of both sides.

Yu Sheng and Nick can manipulate the handle on the left and right sides of the screen, there is a white dot in the middle of the screen, which represents the ball, it keeps moving, and whoever misses it will add one point to the opponent.

The two young people who were playing the game, of course, did not know at this time that the reason why the game seemed a little slow was because the signal output by Atari was based on the TV broadcast transmission and reception standards developed by the (USA) National Television Standards Board.

China's TV, on the other hand, adopts the European line-by-line inversion standard.

The U.S. standard refresh rate is 29.97 frames per second, while the European standard used by China plays 25 frames per second.

In other words, the American standard plays more frames per second, and the European standard plays slightly less.

The Atari 2600 uses the American standard, and when the picture is output to a TV using the European standard, the picture frame is postponed and the picture display becomes slightly slower.

If this TV is not a black and white TV, but a color TV, the game will not only have white color blocks and a black background "Pong". Nick will find that the output is not in color, but in black and white.

It's a video game!

For the rest of his life, he didn't get used to the operation of the Atari controller, and lost the game 7-11 to Nick.

He put down the handle and tilted his head to look at Nick beside him, two young people who didn't understand the language and had just known each other for a short time, looked at each other and smiled, and formed a friendship through video games.

Chapter 16 Banquet for Higher Education

On August 10, all employees of the third factory had a day off.

In the open space in the third factory, one big table after another was placed, and several prospective college students who had been admitted to the university, each wearing a big red flower, walked between the gaps in the tables.

Master Zhang and Master Li have already determined the specific wood used in the hydraulic game machine.

According to the words of Master Zhang and Master Li, Yu Tiecheng wrote a report on the required processing raw materials and submitted it to the higher authorities.

Because it is foreign trade, the efficiency of the competent department is unusually fast, saying that the raw materials needed will be in place within a week, and the quality of the raw materials is first-class, after all, foreign trade can not export inferior products, which is a loss of face for China.

The foreign exchange order of 100,000 US dollars is a joy, and the three children in the factory are admitted to college is another joy. Qingtai Machinery No. 3 Factory can be said to be a double happiness, so the big operation of the college banquet is the wish of almost all employees, and no one objected.

Although it is true that thrift is a virtue, when it is time to celebrate, it should still be celebrated, not to mention that all the food will be eaten in the stomach of the big guy, and it is not extravagant and wasteful.

Yu Tiecheng took advantage of the opportunity to get foreign exchange orders and all departments opened the door of convenience, and applied to the meat factory for 16 whole pigs and pork, as well as a number of sausages and hams. Yesterday on the 9th, it was all complete.

"Sister Xue'er, this is a gift for you." Yu Sheng took a water game machine he made newly, put it in Han Xue's hand and said.

"Didn't you give me one?" Han Xue asked with a hydro game console.

"It's different, it's not the same. That's that, this is this. Besides, even if the two of them are really similar, Sister Xue'er can't also play one and collect one. Yu Sheng said.

"You ...... mouth" Han Xue was wearing a big red flower, maybe because there were too many people, she was too excited, her face was flushed, she said, "I don't know who I learned from, and I became flamboyant." ”

"Nothing, nothing." Yu Sheng waved his hand again and again, standing there stupidly hehe smiled.

"Han Xue, this is my gift for your higher education." The sound of an urn sounded, and you didn't have to guess to know that Chen Bachi was coming.

What Chen Bachi handed to Han Xue was the pink electronic watch.

Yu Sheng was slightly surprised when he saw it, and asked, "Eight feet, didn't you say that you wanted to give it to Guo'er?" ”

Chen Bachi touched his head and smiled, "Guo'er was very happy when she first got it, but as soon as she heard that Sister Xue Xue was admitted to college, she hurriedly said to give Sister Xue Xue this watch." She's still young, she can watch or not, just let her have a good meal today. ”

When Han Xue heard Chen Bachi's words, she hurriedly pushed the electronic watch back, and she said, "Guo'er likes it so much, how can I ask for it, this can't work." Eight feet, you take it back to the fruit. ”

"Sister Xuexue, I don't want it, this is for you. When I grow up, I want to be like Sister Xuexue, be admitted to college and become a college student. Chen Guo'er's quirky voice suddenly came out from behind Han Xue.

Han Xue squatted down and looked at Chen Guo'er's innocence, big black eyes, touched her head and said, "Guo'er is so good, Guo'er will definitely be able to be admitted to a better university than her sister." When the time comes, my sister will prepare a super super nice gift for you, how about it? ”

"Okay! Sister Xuexue, let's pull the hook. I was admitted to university, and you gave me a super nice and super nice gift. Chen Guo'er stretched out her finger and said seriously.

"Hmm." Han Xue also stretched out her little thumb.

"Hang yourself on the hook, you can't change it for a hundred years!" The two girls, one big and one young, said in unison.

"Okay, Sister Xue'er, there are still so many people waiting to talk to you and touch your joy. I'm going to accompany Nick first, others can't understand what he says, and others can't understand what he says, I'm afraid something will happen to him. Yu Sheng said.

"Okay, go, go. It still matters to foreign businessmen. Han Xue said with a smile.

Nick has never seen thousands of people eating in the open air, and until he was seventeen, he lived in a town of less than 1,000 people.

At the age of seventeen, he was admitted to college, left his hometown town, and entered the University of California in Oakland, California, where he joined the toy sales company in order to pay off his academic loans.

After only one year of work, he was sent to Asia by the small boss and came to China, where he ate a banquet for thousands of people in this factory of 1,000 people.

After Nick came to China, he was quite comfortable with both Western and Chinese food. There is no situation where you are not accustomed to the water and soil, or you don't like to eat.

Even if Chinese food is unpalatable to him, it is not as "touching" as when he was in high school, when he was in high school, there were more than a dozen kinds of pasty that had not changed for several years, and he couldn't distinguish what raw materials.

"Delicious, delicious!" Nick clumsily used chopsticks to put food into his mouth while praising in Chinese, which he had just learned.

Yu Tiecheng was relieved to see that Nick was quite satisfied with the food, and he asked Yu Sheng to tell Nick to eat as much as he wanted. You don't have to let go of it, and you don't have to worry about it when you're done.

The banquet lasted for about two hours before it was finally finished.

When many workers began to clean up the table and clean the battlefield, Yu Tiecheng called Yu Sheng to the office.

He put his hand on a stack of books and said with a pleasant face, "Do you remember the day you said that you wanted to learn about electricity?" It's a pity that in such a short period of time, I can't invite a master who is proficient in electricity. However, I have asked you for a set of textbooks written by a master who is more powerful than the master. Come and see if you like it? ”

Yu Tiecheng put the books under his hand in front of Yu Sheng, didn't rush to give them to him, and emphasized, "These books are interest books." Don't let this delay the review. Although I promised you that it would not interfere with your interest, I still think that at your age, you should study hard and get admitted to a university. ”

"Got it, Dad." Yu Sheng looked at this set of electrical books, his eyes were about to pop out, where could he hear Yu Tiecheng's "nagging", he hugged the whole set of books, and ran out of the door.

"That's right...... Don't forget to take care of foreign businessmen when you read books, you young people have a common language together, and there is no harm in getting along with each other more......" Yu Tiecheng looked at Yu Sheng's back and shouted.

"Got it......" Yu Sheng didn't reply, threw down a sentence and ran away.

After a few days of getting along, the communication with Nick for the rest of my life has become more convenient.

With his ears and lips and eyes and looking up the dictionary at any time, he learned a lot of common words for the rest of his life, and Nick also learned some Chinese. Coupled with each other, they are familiar with each other's body language. A lot of dancing, gesturing, and spitting nonsense, you can also understand what the other party wants to express.

Nick ate a little too much at noon, said he was a little sleepy, and wanted to sleep in the afternoon.

Yu Sheng took advantage of his sleep to open the electrical introductory book and read the contents. he

Got the idea of what is high and what is low.

I learned why the basis of electronic computers is zero and one.

In addition, I also developed a strong interest in the ore radio mentioned in the book. (To be continued.) )
