TEP Computer Services, Inc., multimedia conference room.

Today, January 1st, 01, New Year's Day.

According to the regulations, one day off is required.

However, foreign companies are not bad for money, and the whole factory continues to work.

Xu Fei sat at the end of the conference room, with the scientific researchers assigned by Uncle Sun on the left, and the programmers in charge of the game console project on the right.

At this moment, Wan Tao is standing in front of the projection screen, explaining the architecture technology.

The game they discussed a week ago has been renamed 'Heavy Mechanic'.

After the player logs in, they create a game character that randomly appears in a village where they can talk, mine, fish, farm, climb trees, interact with certain things, and find hidden one-time treasures.

For example, 5 yuan coupons, toy gift packs, FMC burgers, pop cola......

In addition, the operator will regularly push update packages to the official website, as long as players connect the power bank to the computer on time and update the game according to the steps, they can regain the hidden one-time treasure.

The player has a 'survival base' in the village and starts looking for monsters.

Mutant ants in the depths of the alley, biochemical spiders in a certain house, water monkeys hiding in old-fashioned wells, women in red who only appear at night, big white geese blocking at intersections, and Boos Ah Huang who needs bones to lure them out.

Since the game uses a 480x720 resolution 5-inch screen, the area is large enough, and the battle mode is changed to 'real-time combat'.

In a non-combat state, the player character is on the screen as if it were Diablo 2.

When a battle is triggered or set individually, special effects appear on the edges of the screen.

For example, the player has a mechanical general, and the screen reflects the appearance of the driver's cab.

And the top is displayed as friend or foe, the left side lists the auxiliary items, the right side can choose multiple weapons, and the bottom is the skill.

The operation mode is: eight-way keys + nine skill buttons.

Skills include: blocking, parrying, counterattacking, dodging, and more.

Skill combination arrow keys to form rubbing moves, and special skills that match the character's class will also appear.

Of course, the feature of this game is not to use the operation of the King of Fighters to harvest monsters everywhere, but to raise and collect.

Cultivation is basically to create a more powerful mechanical general.

Collecting is ......

For example, after using bones to lure out the hidden boss Ah Huang, he is chased by the other party and runs all over the village, leaving footprints in every alley, and you can get the achievement of "Childhood Memories of Director Xu", +99 points, and can be exchanged for the Bronze Medal in reality - 'Future Mechanic'.

For example, if you take the initiative to go to a deserted house on the north side of the village at night, lie on the bed for 8 hours, and if you live until dawn, you can get the achievement of 'I'm not afraid of ghosts', +99 points.

For example, if you drill into an old-fashioned well and find a secret room in the underground labyrinth, you can not only get +10 bullets made by Hanyang, but also get the achievement of 'Tunnel Warfare - Fighting Devils', +99 points.

In short, the more than 6,000 students of TEP Computer Services have each designed 10 wonderful achievements and titles, as long as they are good at exploring, they will definitely gain something.

In addition, the game has a mini-game module.

Feel free to find a child to play beast chess, find two NPCs at random to fight the landlord, find three NPCs at random to mahjong three missing one, as well as the ball, throw sandbags, jump bands, ticket clips......

It's just that the NPCs are different, the difficulty of the mini-game is also different, occasionally there are NPCs who are annoyed and angry, and they will trigger the battle, if they hit the children, the parents will run out, and if they hit the parents, the NPCs in the village will all run over......

The resource package is based on the loss map of TEP Design Consulting, and the map is also very rich, including: villages→ towns→ schools→ small towns→ factories in the countryside→ small towns→ underground tunnel→s by the river→ university towns→ playgrounds→ supermarkets.

And the map area is very large, like Diablo 2 that can't run out of the edge.

Xu Fei read the information and was very satisfied with this game.

The trouble is that the resolution of 480x760 means that maps, loss maps, task models, skill effects, etc., will occupy more running memory and storage memory.

According to the previous design, 128K video memory, 512KB running memory, and 64MB storage are enough to accommodate hundreds of Contra and other mini-games.

Now it has to be expanded to: 2M video memory, 16M running memory, and 512M storage capacity......

That's all catching up with the desktop computers of previous years.

Xu Fei thought of this, and suddenly thought of something, "Tao, you shouldn't have plagiarized Diablo's game engine, right?" ”

"How is it possible, this is the 2D game engine that West Studios acquired before, and after integrating resources, it helped to produce, maybe the Diablo series is still borrowed from us."

"If it's so, why is no one playing Command & Conquest?"

"Pirated CDs are prevalent in our country, and in the second half of the year, someone made a mod of Zhihui, all playing that version, who would spend more than 60 yuan to buy a genuine version."

"How do we prevent theft in this game?"

"As a hacker, whether it's software encryption or hardware encryption, sooner or later the game will be cracked and ported to other devices, and even competitors will be involved in this kind of thing. I thought about it for a long time and finally came up with a good solution. ”

"Say."

"As long as we make the game and other devices can't run it, we are unique and genuine."

When Xu Fei heard this, he looked at the minimum operating configuration in the game data, "What should I do if other people's devices catch up?" ”

"Unless it's a computer, with the configuration of the handheld, it basically can't catch up in 10 years."

"What if it's ported to a computer?"

"The game client has a specially set hidden file, and once stored on the computer, it actively collects device information and sends the IP address to the network security department of TEP Computer Services...... We have hackers, and whether it is resolved through negotiation or unilaterally depends on the sincerity of the other party. ”

“……”

Xu Fei thought about it, and felt that there seemed to be no other way to prevent theft, so he simply put down the matter and looked at the researchers assigned by Uncle Sun.

Whether it's a game console or a computer, the most basic thing is 'memory'.

There are many types of memory, which can be read, writable, and read-write.

As a result, the work can be distributed.

First, exchange for a six-stage basic production line to manufacture memory particles, and after completing production, package it into 16M running memory.

It can then be exchanged for a six-stage basic production line to manufacture chips, and after the production is completed, it will be packaged as a 512M memory card.

In addition, based on CRT imaging technology, we will try to make controllers, cables, image input and output components for 480x720, 5-inch screens.

Based on the above, the integrated graphics card with 2M video memory, as well as the circuit board and running chip......

Fortunately, this game is not a large-scale PC game, and the personnel assigned by Uncle Sun are also leaders in various fields.

'So what am I going to do with Raymond?' ’

Xu Fei thought about it seriously, he doesn't have a large screen, and after the launch of the 'power bank', the ghost knows if he will produce monitors and game consoles.

So, Raymond's money doesn't have to be given.

……

Afternoon.

Xu Fei exhausted the energy accumulated in the past week, exchanged for the basic production line needed for various electronic devices, and the laboratory personnel of Texas Instruments also got a 7500mAh lithium polymer battery + 1500mAh mini supercapacitor, a combined power bank, and a charging and discharging device.

This power bank can charge the electric version of the mechanical Three Kingdoms 9 times, and can charge the regular RGB toys 30 times.

The discharge process is as follows: first use the characteristics of the mini supercapacitor to charge and discharge quickly, charge the toy, and consume the 'temporary power that is valid for three days', if the player plans to wait for a while to charge, press the transition switch, and the lithium polymer battery will charge the mini supercapacitor.

When the player consumes the toy's power, the charging is completed, and the toy is connected to the mini supercapacitor again to complete the fast charging in 2~3 seconds.

Full of black technology, Xu Fei is also very satisfied.

Going back and designing an electroplated metal casing to destroy the pet machine is not a problem at all.

As for the power bank specifications......

If you add the XLED screen and the electronic parts of the game console, it is about equivalent to three boxes of Yuxi cigarettes placed horizontally together, weighing at least 750g.

"It seems that Tang Mo should be asked to think about the appearance and styling."

Xu Fei made a call to TEP Design Consulting and sent the specifications of the power bank, the screen size, the layout of the operation buttons, etc.

After finishing the work, I turned my head and found that the second sister was staring at herself like a nervous disorder.

Xu Fei was a little worried, "Second sister, when did you come back?" ”

“……”

"Good work!"

“……”

"Second sister, you don't know, there are rats in our factory!"

“……”

"Really, we searched for a full day, and even used Tutu Tutu to get rid of the rats, but it's a pity for your snacks."

“……”

"What, I have something to do today, so I'll get off work first."

Xu Fei pretended to be fine, paced to the door, but listened to the leisurely words behind him.

"Factory director, when you get home, you must hide the knife in the kitchen, and when you go to bed at night, close the door in your bedroom."

“……”

"I'm afraid of sleepwalking at night, and I won't be able to control myself when the time comes!"

Xu Fei took out his mobile phone, "Crooked? Sino-Ocean Group, let the logistics vehicle return to Huangnigang, buy some delicious food by the way, what potato chips, what wonderful crispy corners, what Wangwang senbei, as well as jelly, fruit dan peel...... Add another bottle of Estee Lauder hand cream and send it to the workshop office. ”

…………

After New Year's Day, the factory began to be lively.

On January 2, the youth football team brought back the National U14 Champions Cup, like a trophy of a mallet, made of pure gold, which is said to be funded by Huang Banblind, and I don't know where the old guy got so much money.

In order to test the skills of the little children, and also to take photos with Zidane, the employees took turns to play and compete, attracting many old and young masters to watch.

At the same time, the Daze Industrial Complex has five staff activity centers in the east, west, north, south, and middle, and the jointly invested 'Daze Cinema', which not only introduced the 'Star Wars Clone Attack', but also screened the 'Earth Crisis' and 'Battle of Shahara' produced by Iron Entertainment.

In fact, these three movies have been logged in Europe and the United States as early as Christmas Eve.

Among them, the box office of Star Wars on the first day was 30.1 million US dollars, becoming the third highest box office in the history of the film, and now a week and a half later, the cumulative box office has exceeded 150 million US dollars.

And their own two films.

The Hazara Battle documentary won 45 million US dollars at the box office, breaking a series of domestic records.

Planetary Crisis ...... Maybe the actor is too pompous and scolding, which makes Pop very unhappy.

Such an evaluation led to the box office failing to exceed 20 million US dollars in the first week.

Let's get back to basics.

In addition, 'Iron Entertainment' has a new work.

This time, it was still shot with 'micro shots', plus post-production.

It's just that instead of letting the audience enjoy the gears running, they witness all kinds of mechanical collisions.

The friction between the blade and the barrel of the gun, the impact and deformation between the metal, the concussion of heavy equipment on the ground, coupled with the oil-stained mechanic, the mercenary with scarred faces, and the long-legged girl in tattered but beautiful clothes......

In a week and a half of its release in North America, the box office won 250 million US dollars, except for the premiere loss to 'Star Wars', all other aspects were second-killed, and they are still rising.

And the box office of Europe, Wajima, Nanbangzi, and South America are all catching up with North America.

For this reason, after Xu Fei paid 50 million US dollars to Industrial Light & Magic, he gave 10 million red money bonuses to each of the only five employees of Iron Entertainment.

It's January 5th.

After the various departments of TEP Computer Services and TEP Design Consulting worked overtime, the first batch of 'power bank' prototypes were finally delivered to the workshop office.

Xu Fei put down the RGB flying saucer, finished his morning exercise, and looked at the three styles on the desk.

The first one is like two thin cigarette boxes side by side, with angular edges, painted in matte black, and the keys are slightly raised, like a very ... Iron? Battery capacity 1500mAh + 500mAh (lithium polymer + mini supercapacitor), game console configuration 2+16+512m (video memory + memory + storage)

The second is like a pencil case, with rounded edges, a coated gear mechanism on the surface, and a battery capacity that is five times greater than that of the first.

The third one is like a backpack, like carrying a small battery, with a battery capacity of up to 10a****, and the screen of the machine has also become an assembly style, six in one.

The fulfillment center gives a suggested retail price.

Huaxia version: 299 red banknotes, 599 red banknotes...

North American version: 169 US knife, 369 US knife......

Wajima Edition: 9999 Wajima, 19999 Wajima......

South Stick Edition......

European version ......

Xu Fei ran back to the production workshop and calculated the output.

The three power banks, don't look at the huge difference in size, in fact, the most basic electronic devices are the same.

Like running memory, 16M is a single memory stick, 32M is two 16M sticks, and 64M is four 16M sticks.

It's the same with storage devices, but with the chips packed together.

The integrated graphics card uses the same one.

Therefore, according to the calculation of the power supply allocated to the six-level basic production line, the daily output is 6,000 pieces, and a single piece can obtain 350,000 energy, and 2.1 billion can be obtained per day.

If all the power supply in Daze Industrial Park is centralized......

100,000 per day is not a problem, 35 billion energy can be obtained every day!

Xu Fei took out his mobile phone and flipped through the calendar.

After New Year's Day, it is the New Year, and there are 18 days left until Chinese New Year's Eve.

"Annual leave!"

"It's been a busy year, and it's time to rest."

Xu Fei immediately informed the operation center that in addition to TEP Computer Service Company, as well as relevant students, necessary clerks, and necessary management, the whole factory will take annual leave, and work will start again on the 17th of the first month.

However, back in the office, the secretary presented three documents.

One is the anti-monopoly penalty of Wajima, 160 billion Wa Yuan.

One is the North American antitrust penalty, 200 million US dollars.

One is the third brother's anti-monopoly penalty, 500 million US dollars.

Xu Fei looked at the last one, and was angry on the spot, "What are you mixing with?" Do you really think you can make Zeppelin? Besides, I don't have much business with you. ”

"Factory director, do you pay this money?"

"Am I stupid?"

"But if we don't pay it, the TEP store will have to remove all the toys of the iron company, otherwise we will be forced to close down."

"Don't care about it first, now the main thing is to win the European power bank market, with the basic disk, and then counterattack the North American market, and then sweep the island, if you dare to close my store......"

Xu Fei gritted his teeth, "Help me prepare two convertibles, salute first and then soldier, and say that Foreman did it." ”
