"Xiaoyun, you are also a person who has gone through a lot of ups and downs, look at your nervousness, this is the strong woman in the shopping mall I know."

The third day after the launch was the launch day for the Xbox console, and both Ambrera and DreamWorks had done a lot of work to make it happen.

Advertise in newspapers, magazines, and television, find trolls to make all sorts of news topics about Xbox, and increase communication between players.

Early this morning, Zhao Xiaoyun came to Ling Shizhe's office early, and even drinking two cups of coffee could not relieve her nervous mood now.

Ling Shizhe saw that she was so nervous, so he made fun of her.

Zhao Xiaoyun said: "I don't know what's going on, I've experienced so many winds and waves, but I didn't expect to be nervous." ”

Although Xbox was designed by Ling Shizhe, Zhao Xiaoyun was responsible for the specific operation.

Since Ling Shizhe's proposal to create a game like a movie that day, Zhao Xiaoyun was stunned.

In her eyes, video games have always been children's toys, games like movies, what kind of games are they?

Seeing her confusion, Ling Shizhe explained: "To put it bluntly, a game console is a cheap single-function computer, which only captures the game functions of the PC personal computer, and enhances the picture quality and sound, which is a video game console." Video game consoles, like all computers, are cheap electronic toys built on semiconductor chip technology.

But you have to know that since it is an electronic product, no matter how low-end the game console is, it can't escape Moore's Law. Have you ever thought about the possibility of supposing that one day, semiconductor technology has developed to a very high level, and you can make today's supercomputing and super graphics computers into a small chip?

When that time comes, you think about it. What should computers and game consoles look like then? Its graphics and sound processing are extremely powerful, will the characters in the game be indistinguishable from real people? At that time, how should we interpret the concept of video games? Until that time. Players are playing a game and enjoying a movie at the same time? Make a game like a movie. Won't this science fiction, which now seems a bit fantastical, become a reality by that time? ”

In just two sentences, Zhao Xiaoyun was stunned. Games, Movies, Movies, Games......

Zhao Xiaoyun is a professional in movies, DreamWorks can have today, she has paid great hardships, and now Ling Shizhe connects movies and games and draws such a big pie for her, which hits Zhao Xiaoyun's weakness at once. In order to realize this dream, which now seems to be ethereal, Zhao Xiaoyun took over the specific development of Xbox.

Xbox home game console, Zhao Xiaoyun has put a lot of effort into it, and now the game console is about to go on the market, she is like a pregnant woman with prenatal depression, and she is very nervous.

She was so nervous, Ling Shizhe was also nervous, seeing that it was not a way to go on like this, so Ling Shizhe suggested: "You may be too tired these days, it may be better to come to my lounge and lie down for a while." ”

Zhao Xiaoyun shook her head. said: "No, I can't sleep thinking about things, so I might as well just wait here." ”

looked at Zhao Xiaoyun sitting there quietly. The high-end OL office clothes set off her beautiful figure infinitely beautifully, and Ling Shizhe suddenly felt a sense of apology in his heart.

Cha Gengsi gave Zhao Xiaoyun to him, hoping that he could take good care of her for the rest of his life, but what has Ling Shizhe done for her over the years?

He knew all day long that he was busy with work, and he forgot about his woman when he worked, and he never really cared about her, even if he remembered it occasionally, it was for the sake of sex.

When Ling Shizhe first met Zhao Xiaoyun, it was in Cha Gengsi's nightclub. At that time, she was twenty-seven or eight years old, which was the most brilliant time in a woman's life.

So many years have passed. Zhao Xiaoyun is already over thirty years old, and the most glorious moment of a woman has passed. Since following him. Zhao Xiaoyun has all her thoughts on Ling Shizhe, in order to help him build DreamWorks, she has paid too much, and she still doesn't have a child.

According to current social values, if a woman is in her thirties and does not have a child, it is a very incredible thing, but in Zhao Xiaoyun, it happened.

Perhaps, giving her a child is the best way.

Thinking of this, Ling Shizhe walked up to Zhao Xiaoyun and prepared to have a princess hug.

As soon as the hand reached the crook of her leg, a smooth and powerful hand held him down, "What are you going to do in broad daylight?" ”

"I don't do anything, I want to carry you in, I want to take good care of you." Ling Shizhe said.

"You're crazy, this is the company, you want to do this in broad daylight!" Zhao Xiaoyun broke free of Ling Shizhe's arms.

Ling Shizhe knew that Zhao Xiaoyun knew kung fu, if she didn't want to, Ling Shizhe would have no way at all, so he leaned in front of her ear and whispered: "Give me a baby!" ”

This sentence was like magic, Zhao Xiaoyun didn't move in an instant, seeing that she didn't react, Ling Shizhe reached out and hugged her, and walked towards the lounge inside......

On this day, Xbox sales are hot.

Early in the morning, there was a long queue at the entrance of Ambrera's various computer and electrical appliance retail stores, and the longest queue was more than 300 meters long.

So many people lined up in front of Ambrera's retail store early in the morning, and in order to prevent accidents, William Brown, CEO of the computer appliance retail company. The person in charge of the branch was ordered to urgently contact the local police to maintain law and order.

Mr. Schwell arrived early in the morning at the computer appliance retail store in Los Angeles, and by the time he arrived, there were already more than 200 people lined up, who, like him, had come to buy Xbox consoles.

Soon more and more people came here, and it didn't take long for a long line to form behind Schwell, and their purpose was the same - Xbox.

Schwell wants to buy two game consoles this time, one for himself and one for his girlfriend.

This time, Ambrera launched a total of five colors of Xbox, black, yellow, blue, white, and each color is trimmed with red.

This is Ling Shizhe's full experience of cheating fans of Japanese manufacturers in later generations.

In addition to yellow, white. In addition to the regular black and blue versions, there is also a silver version limited to 1,000 copies, and a gold edition limited to 100 copies.

The price of the daguerreotype is double that of the regular version. Priced at a whopping $699, the Gold version is not sold separately. Instead, it can only be drawn by lottery, and each Xbox purchased will get a lottery ticket, and the gold version of Xbox can be scratched out of this lottery ticket.

Both the gold and silver editions have their own numbers, and there will never be duplicate numbers.

In addition to these, there are also game collector's console sets, "Kung Fu Panda" and "Contra" are the two set versions prepared by Ling Shizhe.

The package contains a game console, a tin box collector's edition, two custom game controllers, a game cassette, a "Kung Fu Panda" or "Contra" custom console sticker, and an 8K memory card.

Ling Shizhe when designing the game card. Instead of using Nintendo's cartridge design, it adopted the CF memory card mode of later digital cameras, after all, flash memory has been born decades in advance, and it is no longer appropriate to use the previous kind of game cartridge.

Moreover, the CF card is used, the cassette capacity is not only high, it has the advantages of fast data transmission and stable quality, the preservation of image and sound will also be very good, and the service life is also very long.

The CF card is equipped with a PCMCIA card slot. Both the cassette and the volume of the card slot have been deliberately enlarged by Ling Shizhe, and the cassette only has the function of writing, if you want to erase the game content inside. Professional equipment is required.

The purpose of this is to prevent piracy, all the games that Ling Shizhe played in his previous life were pirated, and he still applauded piracy at that time.

Now the world has changed, fart/stock determines the head, the identity has long been reversed, the original pirate player has now become a game producer, and Ling Shizhe, whose identity has long been reversed, naturally wants his game to be picked up by those pirates for profit.

In response to the piracy methods of later generations, Ling Shizhe designed a three-layer anti-piracy system with the game console, controller, game card and memory cartridge as a whole. Each layer is interconnected and interconnected. Once you encounter piracy, the console will stop working.

Even if the host is cracked. There is also the level of controller and cassette, if the game cartridge inserted on the console is pirated, then the controller will show abnormal state from time to time when it is working.

One moment the button response is slow, and the D-pad control is overreacted for a while, or there is no response for a long time, so that for pirate players, the game experience will be extremely bad.

Cassette and memory card Ling Shizhe has also done anti-piracy processing, flash memory is divided into NOR-type and NAND type and PCIe type, NOR-type flash memory is more like single-chip microcomputer flash memory has independent address lines and data lines, the price is relatively high, and NAND type is more like a hard disk, the cost is relatively cheaper. The PCIe type looks unfamiliar to everyone, but when it comes to USB drives, everyone must be familiar with it.

When developing flash memory technology, Ling Shizhe kept a hand and did not announce the NOR-type flash memory and PCIe, but kept it himself.

NOR flash memory has low capacity and high price, and is generally used as mobile phone memory in later generations, NAND has the advantages of large storage data and low cost, so later generations of SSD solid state drives, CF cards, SD cards, XD card memory sticks and micro hard disks are all using NAND solutions.

The CF card designed by Ling Shizhe uses PCLE technology, which is the so-called USB technology, because he has a particularly large capacity and low cost, so after entering the game data in the CF card, you can also install an anti-piracy program, and this program will be like a virus when entering, hidden in the game program.

And these anti-piracy programs, the cassette is different, the code is not the same, it is equivalent to the ID card of the game card, each CF game card has an independent digital identity number is hidden in the game program, the game console is running the game, the first is not to read the game information in the game cartridge, but to read the identity code in the cartridge first.

If the encoding is successfully read, it means that the game cartridge is genuine, and then the game data is read to enter the game. Otherwise, the console will stop running.

If the console is cracked, the anti-theft function of the gamepad will be turned on, and the controller cannot be used normally; If the controller is also cracked, and there is a memory card, the game record cannot be stored.

The game cartridge designed by Ling Shizhe does not have a storage function, and players must store game records through the memory card when playing the game, so that the memory card can make a big fuss.

How is the game console cracked?,To put it bluntly, it's to modify the program in the console.,The program is modified.,Naturally, you can play pirated games.。

Therefore, according to this feature, Ling Shizhe designed a mode, that is, the host self-test repair mode, whether the toy bought a new handle, or a new memory card, when he inserted the memory card or handle into the game console, as long as it was turned on, the game console will automatically enter the self-test state, and the repair program in the game controller or memory card will automatically repair the source code of the program that has been cracked and changed in the host, and delete the original pirated program.

In this way, even if the console is cracked, the game cartridge also has this function by repairing the host program, and the program in the cartridge can not only repair the console, but also the program in the controller and memory card, so that it is difficult for pirates to pirate the game.

What's more, Ling Shizhe can also regularly upgrade the anti-piracy program of the console and cassette, and every once in a while, the game console and cassette produced by the factory will be upgraded, and the console that the pirate dealer has worked so hard to crack has been repaired in this way.

In addition to these, Ling Shizhe also has physical means to prevent piracy, don't forget that the third-party game recording must be handed over to Ambrera, and the cassette is made by Ambrera, when establishing cooperation with a third party, an independent identity code will be established specifically for this game company, and the company's side code cannot be common with another company's identity code, and this code will not be static, and the identity code will be changed every once in a while.

As soon as nine o'clock arrived, the doors of retail stores across North America opened on time, and the people who had been waiting for a long time walked into the store quickly and orderly, and went straight to the Xbox sales area.

Ambrera's advertising effect is still good, and many people come to buy it because they have seen Ambrera's advertisement.

Ambrera has 3 million consoles ready for this launch, of which 1 million are in warehouses across North America, ready to respond to any eventuality.

On the first day, the sales were very hot, and each of Ambrera's retail stores had prepared 30,000 units, and when it was close in the evening, a rough calculation showed that there were about 22,000 units and 8,000 units left.

Considering the sales situation on the first day, the remaining 8,000 units would definitely not be able to cope with the sales boom on the second day, so they called the headquarters to pick up the goods. (To be continued)
