Chapter 399: Can Loongson Computer Play Games, Line 486?
The game is loading......
The crowd below looked at the projection screen, full of anticipation.
If you want to talk about games, the strong man in this era is Nintendo, their game consoles are almost harvested all over the world, and the parts used in them are also computers, in this case, computers can also play games, did Mr. Qin transplant Nintendo's games?
There is a risk of infringement.
Finally, the game was loaded, a green grassland and yellow hills appeared on the screen, and there was an operation interface on the right side, only to see Qin Feng quickly click on the windows on the right with the mouse, and then drag them to the left, so, on the empty land on the left, a factory appeared like a trick, and quickly unfolded.
Then, the small cars drove out, and it turned out to be a minecart to transport supplies, and soon, this place became a base.
Everyone's eyes widened, the idea of this game is completely new! This belongs to ...... Wait, what's going on?
Suddenly, a fireball appeared in the base, and it actually exploded?
"This is the first war game launched by our software company under the Pacific Group, and the game is set in a dedicated Red Alert universe, similar to World War II, but with many changes, belonging to a different time and space line."
Qin Feng introduced: "There are elements of science fiction and military here, players can choose any side to develop, to build a base, to mine resources, such a game is not only a game, but also management, strategy and so on There are many layouts, different choices, will lead to different results......"
In history, "Red Alert" is the first war game, and the launch of this game immediately made gamers all over the world crazy, those post-80s, post-90s, there is no one who doesn't like to play Red Alert.
Qin Feng demonstrated for more than ten minutes, and then quit the game.
"Okay, let's move on to the second game, which is called Half-Life."
To say that the most popular games in the nineties, in addition to "Red Alert" is "Counter-Strike", however, the picture quality of Red Alert is rough, and the computer hardware of this era can barely support it, but, "Counter-Strike" is not good, and now the mainstream display chip is still 2D, and it is impossible to display a clear picture at all.
Fortunately, gamers in this day and age don't care about the roughness of the graphics, and those triangles don't cause them discomfort, as long as the game is fun.
Counter-Strike's predecessor was Half-Life, and at this time, it took a full two minutes for the computer to load the program, and then, you can see the triangles on the screen, which is the computer rendering quickly.
At this moment, there was a buzzing sound in the computer case, and apparently the fan inside was spinning at high speed.
Although Loongson No. 1 is stronger than 486, it is still a bit laborious to do this work, there are many pauses in the screen switching, and the frame loss is serious, but when Qin Feng switches the lens of the sniper rifle back and forth, and then aims at the enemy, the reticle presses his head, and then the screen is full of blood red, the reporters present instantly boiled.
It feels so much more real! Computer games in this era are just cartoon villains, who has ever experienced a game close to a real scene?
Qin Feng only demonstrated it a few times, and the people below exclaimed again and again.
After a few minutes, the game exits.
"Okay, let's change to a third game, and the name of this game is "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".
The game of "Half-Life" is still too much pressure on Loongson No. 1, and if you continue to play, you are really afraid that the processor will be burned, and Qin Feng can only end it in a hurry and launch the third one.
In this era, the writing of games is still very simple, a few people, a few months can be developed, Pacific Group network of the best programmers in China, can develop these three games in a short time, I don't know how many people lost how many hair.
Compared with other games, "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is also a milestone, this kind of game uses a new RPG gameplay, a variety of maps, a variety of monsters, and is almost the originator of various fantasy games in later generations.
And this game is based on rich character dialogue, and many of the poems in it will be memorable.
At the beginning of the game, it starts with the iron pot knocking on the head, and then after a process, four verses appear on the screen.
I don't know how to love and sorrow a young man, and I give wine under the eaves to form a fairy relationship.
It is difficult to get rid of the grace of the beauty, and the sword and the rivers and lakes are red-faced.
"This game is good, not only to play the game, but also to promote our oriental culture, by the way, this game can be spread abroad, right? Will the language inside be changed to English? Backstage, Professor Lou asked curiously.
Ni Lao nodded: "That's right, Mr. Qin is far-sighted, over the years, we have been facing foreign cultural invasions, what they have propagated, what freedom, and then ...... Looking at what has come of it this year, Mr. Qin is very disgusted by this, so he also decided to promote our oriental culture to the western world through games. ”
Loongson computers are meant to be sold all over the world, and these games are also meant to be spread all over the world. While playing oriental games, gringos will gradually be influenced by oriental culture.
"Mr. Qin introduced him for half an hour, and he has been introducing the game all the time, and has not introduced other functions of the computer, which ......" Wang Lao was a little worried.
"Mr. Qin said that if you want to expand the computer market, you need not only to make the computer work, but also to make the computer play games, people in our country have no money, and computers still have to be sold overseas in large quantities, so that those rich people can buy them back home to play games, and the playthings ......are demoralized," Ni Lao continued to introduce.
At this time, Qin Feng had already finished his introduction.
"This computer is produced by the Great Wall Company, so next, I would like to ask Mr. Wang of the Great Wall Company to officially announce the price of this computer to everyone!"
Wang Lao walked up excitedly: "Fellow journalists, our computer has advanced performance and moderate price, and the high-end version of three games can be played, and it only sells for $3,999!" There are also mid-profile and low-profile versions that can't play games, which sell for $3,399 and $2,899 respectively! ”
The pricing is directly in US dollars, of course, the main supply is exported, domestic self-use, and the low-profile version is enough.
"Bought our high-end computer, which comes with a graphical operating system, comes with three games, and has access to constantly upgrade the game!"
The main high-profile version, this is expensive!
Qin Feng did not sell separately, first of all, the current computer is mainly sold as a whole machine, and the personal PC has not yet been released, secondly, computer piracy software emerges in endlessly, if the game is separated, then few people will buy the game specifically, just copy a pirated copy directly, the anti-piracy means of this era, at most a serial number, will soon be cracked.
It is better to give it away directly when you buy a computer, and the price of the computer includes the cost of the software, which solves the problem of piracy.
"Now, standing here, I am very excited, I can have today's achievements, inseparable from the cultivation of my alma mater, so, today's press conference, I also invited President Ding of my alma mater, now, please President Ding to tell us a few words!"
Principal Ding had this qualification and power, and he walked up and looked at the people below.
"We at Capital University are proud to have cultivated a talent like Qin Feng! At the same time, we are also proud of the progress of electronic technology in the motherland, and our new technology company of Capital University will also launch a new computer based on Loongson, named Founder Dragon! ……”
Before the computer was built, the advertisement was typed out first, and Qin Feng still took great care of his alma mater.
The launch of Loongson computer was very successful, and the next day, Great Wall Dragon computer became the front page headline of newspapers all over the world, especially the games integrated on it, which were favored by countless players, and countless computer dealers and computer manufacturers flocked to the East.
Being coveted by Intel fully demonstrates the power of Loongson computers, and there are still so many games to play, buy, must buy!
Loongson computers are hot again, and the heat is better than that year.
Intel Corporation.
"Damn, they're stepping on our Intel corporation!" Grove said angrily.
If it weren't for the recent commercial espionage case, Loongson's popularity would have gone down, and Intel's 486 chip could still occupy the market by relying on cost performance, but now? What is the value for money? Only by playing the game can you win the favor of players! Loongson computers are better than Intel, because Intel is stealing Loongson's technology!
This is almost the consensus of computer gamers in various countries.
"Yes, we didn't expect that they would have such a backhand, they must have prepared in advance, just waiting for this incident to be announced to the public." Moore said.
They were all depressed.
I thought I was digging a pit for Loongson, but I didn't expect it to be used by the other party in turn.
"Did you find that Luo Liqiang? As long as we find him and let him testify in court, everything is made up by the Orientals, we can get rid of this trouble, and we can also sue the Orientals for slander. Grove said.
"No, it's as if he's gone. It must be the Oriental or AMD company who hid him, hmph, they are still slandering us, saying that we killed Luo Liqiang! ”
"The lawsuit is put aside, we don't have to worry, what's going on on Microsoft's side? Finished porting the game? Grove asked.
This time the Great Wall Dragon computer,The biggest killer move is the game,So,If the 486 computer wants to fight back,Then you have to integrate the same game,Of course, this task has to fall on Microsoft,After all,Intel has long been tied to Microsoft!
In 1980, IBM, the computer boss at the time, chose Intel's chips and Microsoft's operating system to create the first IBM personal computer, and after that, Microsoft began a long cooperation with Intel. Although there are many contradictions between them, they are still firmly bound together.
Although Microsoft is mainly engaged in operating systems, it is still a giant in the software field, and now, only Microsoft can port those games to Microsoft's operating system and x86 architecture as soon as possible.
"Nope." The subordinate replied.
"Why?" Grove's eyes widened: "At a time like this, we should be in the same boat, if they can't help us port the game as soon as possible, then the market will be occupied by Loongson, and we will have no hope!" ”
"Because our hardware doesn't support it."
"What did you say?" Grove's eyes widened.
"Our processor is so slow that even if we port the program, it won't be able to run."
The Loongson processor uses frequency doubling technology, starting with the external frequency 25, the quadruple frequency of the 100 megahertz processor, and the starting frequency of 486 is only 25 megahertz, which needs to be slowly improved, and in order to run half a life, the computer has adjusted the external frequency to 33, so that the main frequency has reached 133 megahertz, even so, it has just made the half-life run and met the minimum requirements.
Intel's hardware doesn't support it at all!
In later generations, games mainly looked at the graphics card, because as the refinement of the game screen continued to improve, the amount of work required to render the game became larger and larger, and the burden on the graphics card became heavier and heavier.
In games, graphics cards are used to render pictures, so what does the processor do? Processors are used to do basic work.
For example, in a shooter, the player aims at the opponent's head and shoots, and the basic calculations of how the bullet flies out and what trajectory it takes are all performed by the processor. Later generations of gaming PCs don't need too strong processors, and the i3 can cope with it, because the processor performance is already excessive, and now, it's not enough!
At the same time, because the graphics card is not powerful, a lot of work that originally requires the graphics card to be calculated is also calculated by the processor, so if the processor is not powerful, the game will not run, not to mention half a life, and the red alert is enough to choke!
Grove clenched his fists.
"We also need to develop frequency multiplier technology as soon as possible, we need to improve the performance of the processors, and we need to get to the point where we can run these games as soon as possible!"
"Loongson has registered a patent for frequency doubling technology."
Grove's fists rattled and rattled, this was to block their path!
"They also registered a patent for the technology of the North-South Bridge, a technology patent for the ATX motherboard......"
"Hmph, what a patent, we don't recognize it!" "Their patented technology is not protected, and they have to open up their patents in the field of semiconductor technology to us, just like the island nations, and let us use them for free," Grove said. ”
The so-called patents are just a kind of industry monopoly set up by the first to enter the industry, just like what kind of AT gearbox, it is not that oriental enterprises cannot make it, but the patents are all mastered by them.
Now, with the backward progress, with more advanced patents, how can they, the ancestral rogue pirates, accept it, of course, or admit it!
How else could it be? Is it a high royalty to pay to the Orientals? Are you kidding! We just don't recognize his patent, we have the ability, and continue to come to the United States to fight lawsuits!
"Since 486 is outdated, then we must continue to work hard to take out 586 as soon as possible, and we must surpass the Orientals!"
Orient.
"Here, cheers!" Principal Ding raised his glass: "We toast to such an outstanding talent as Qin Feng in the school!" ”
"Old principal, you are serious, I thank the school for its cultivation. I respect all the leaders. ”
"Okay, let's have a toast!"
After a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere on the wine table became lively.
"Senior brother, your Loongson is too expensive, can the price of the chip provided by our Founder Computer be reduced?" A young man said: "We are all alumni, you have to support our university!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the table immediately fell silent.
Whoever can get a chip with a lower price will have a lower cost and make more money!
Now, Loongson is in short supply, and I haven't heard of any downstream manufacturers who can get goods at a low price, all of which are $950 a piece, but our Capital University is different, so we have to do something special, right?
"Of course not." Qin Feng directly refused: "If in order to support our Founder Computer, it doesn't matter if the price is lower, but this opening can't be opened, if the price is low for our alma mater enterprise, then there will be a huge loophole." ”
Qin Feng looked at the person who opened his mouth to propose: "Senior brother, if there is a price difference, then there will be people who want to get something for nothing, such as buying from us for $880 a piece, and then selling it for $940." ”
"Senior brother, don't worry, we will never do that!"
"If there are benefits, there will be people who take risks, as it is said in Capital." Qin Feng looked at the man: "This is the nature of human beings, and it is also the nature of the market economy, so I can't hurt everyone, if this opening is really opened, one day in the future, one of us here may go in." ”
This theory is invincible, I don't give you a low price, it's for your good, I'm afraid you will make mistakes!
Qin Feng said it with confidence, but others couldn't refute it!
"However, I can also reveal an inside story to you, our Loongson processor is about to undergo an upgrade, and the price after the upgrade is still so much, but the performance is higher, so you can make a prototype first, wait until the prototype is made, and then order the upgraded processor."
"Good!"
"Thank you, junior brother!"
"Xiao Qin deserves to be from our university, and he knows how to give our university more help!"
There's no way, with so many people's face, you still have to give some benefits, just give this kind of benefit that doesn't hurt or itch.
In fact, there are other operations in the follow-up, such as rebates at the end of the year, although the prices are the same, but, if you get more goods, you can return more points at the end of the year, of course, this has to be slowly launched later, and now the sales are hot, and there is no need for this kind of stimulus.
"Some time ago, we were all very angry when we learned about Intel's shameless move." Professor Lou spoke: "Hmph, our graduates of Capital University, who still wants to go to a shameless company like Intel, by the way, what about Luo Liqiang?" Got caught? ”
Luo Liqiang is missing, no one knows where he went, and the FBI can't catch him.
"I don't know, maybe I was killed by Intel, after all, this person's action failed, and there is no need to live, and the dead can't speak."
"Hmph, this kind of scum, it's better to die."
During this time, Luo Liqiang was world-famous, of course, notorious, as a commercial spy, framed and framed, which was the most hateful, and for a while, it seemed that there was no place for him in the world.
Where can he go?
