Guan Fei knew his boss' disdain, but he was too lazy to pay attention to it. His abilities were beyond imagination by those who had never seen the world.

They have to buy a lot of things this time, in addition to electronic components, accessories, circuit boards, integrated circuits, central processing units, slots, data connections, high-precision oscilloscopes, multimeters, soldering irons, etc. In addition, they also went to the chemical store to buy some chemical agents and powders, and went to the furniture market to buy a batch of boards such as 19mm thick particle board, as well as woodworking tools.

Because there were too many things, Guan Fei simply rented a small truck and followed them around with the goods, purchasing all kinds of items they needed.

It was already evening when I returned to the temporary warehouse.

Guan Fei and everyone took the purchased items out of the car and took them into the house in different categories. Larger items such as particleboard were placed in the warehouse.

"I'll take a break first and call me when I'm having a meal later." He poured a glass of water, revealing a hint of fatigue.

"knew."

The others left the house, Zhou Xiaoyun gently brought them to the door, and the crowd left with a low voice. In order to leave enough quiet rest space for the brigade commander, they all went downstairs and gathered in the warehouse to watch TV and joke.

Guan Fei heard the sound and left, and went downstairs. The fatigue on his face was wiped out. He took off his shoes and went to bed, lay down comfortably, and closed his eyes.

"Switch off unnecessary auxiliary functions and start the circuit design module." He murmured in his mind.

A light spot flashed in the dark background, and the light spot expanded rapidly, and a square light curtain spread out in his mind. The light curtain looked very thin, like a piece of veil, emitting a slight light. Although it was not dazzling, it was clear enough.

"Click out the basic template one."

A complex circuit diagram appeared on the light curtain, with about hundreds of various components, with lines traversing, dazzling.

"Call the components purchased today, and compare them with the template. Components that are not on the original template are replaced with the purchase list to generate a new template."

When the instructions are issued, components flew out from the right rear of the field of view and fell on the circuit diagram. As some alternative original devices fall, the circuit diagram also changes rapidly and is quickly fixed to generate a brand new circuit diagram.

The computing power of quantum computers is far better than that of biological computers, but in the end humans chose biological computers as auxiliary computing tools that integrate into the human body.

There are two reasons for this.

First, its biological characteristics are not rejected from the original cells of the human body. They generate dense synapses on the cerebral cortex. They use the original unactivated brain cells of the brain to form groups, and do not need to occupy more cavities in the body. Normal brain cells are not regenerated after adulthood. As they grow older, human thinking activity will gradually decrease, and in severe cases it will also be accompanied by Alzheimer's disease. However, the biological alternative brain can produce new brain cells to replace it after the death of old brain cells, so that humans can always be at the peak of their thinking.

The second is its fuzzy logic judgment function, which can accurately judge the host's unclear and vague instructions, thereby accurately achieving the human intended purpose. Through the thinking wave reception device, humans can drive various intelligent tools like arms and fingers like commanding their own body.

Guan Fei does not need to design one-on-one circuits. As long as the corresponding template is determined, the biological auxiliary brain can automatically generate circuit diagrams based on the components.

His original template is the classic arcade game "Space Invaders" that will be launched by Space East next year. The processor used by the original circuit board was 8080, and this chip was developed by Intel in 1974 with a main frequency of 2 megahertz.

Guan Fei didn't plan to replace it at first, but Intel has always only sold its chips to its customers, and retail bulk products were not found on the market. He also asked the boss, Intel's things were extremely expensive, with a price of 8080 up to 147 US dollars. At the current price of 5.8 to 1 US dollars, a chip costs 852 HK dollars!

He doesn't have that much money to burn!

The most expensive part of an arcade machine is mainly color imaging tubes, processors, write-on-one memory, and data exchange memory. The imaging tube costs 1,000 yuan and 12K write-on-one memory 248 Hong Kong dollars, which adds up to 1,003. If the processor comes in more than 800, it will be 2,000 yuan.

Other components such as printed circuit boards, various general components, box wood, rocker, buttons, etc. need to be processed by other factories. Wouldn't the cost of an arcade machine be nearly 3,000?

This has not yet been counted on opening a factory in the future. The workers' wages and factory rent will be added to one yuan, and the cost will be even more than 4,000 yuan!

This is Guan Fei's first product. In the early stages when he was not famous and the sales network was not built, the sales volume was definitely not high. Since it was something that made money, of course, we must ensure that every time one sold, we will get the highest profit. Think about the Space Invader game, the main reason for its popularity is groundbreaking design rather than performance.

Early arcades have a fart performance!

Therefore, he gave up on the 8080 and chose Motorola's 6502 as the central processor.

The 6502 is also an eight-bit processor, which was released a year later than the 8080. The initial main frequency is the same as the 8080, and it is two megahertz. But its price is much gentler than the 8080. It is only sold for 25 US dollars, which is 145 Hong Kong dollars, which is only one-sixth of the 8080. There is no restriction on purchasing!

No wonder Jobs later started Apple and chose it as a central processor. Needless to say, it is cheaper, and it is not annoying to be bullied by Intel's store.

"Start wiring and generate a printed circuit board." After the biological auxiliary brain conducted a circuit logic check and confirmed that the circuit had no conflicts, Guan Fei ordered to generate a printed circuit diagram.

Although printed circuit diagrams are wiring diagrams of circuit diagrams, they are not simply moving the circuit diagrams to the printed circuit board.

In fact, when wiring, it is necessary to consider the interference of adjacent components, whether the heating of the device is accumulated, the width and length of the connection, maintenance and disassembly, etc., which is a specialized science in the modern electronics industry. If Guan Fei does not have biological auxiliary brain assistance and relies on his own design, he will not be able to get it off in less than one or two months due to his unfamiliarity with the characteristics of components in this era.

Of course, it is simple to have a biological secondary brain.

With one instruction, a complete printed circuit diagram appeared in my mind.

The circuit problem has been solved, not everything is fine. Next, the source code of the space invaders in the database must be recompiled.

The source code of this game is written for 8080. Since the processor has been replaced, the source code must of course be rewritten. Moreover, the video circuit, audio circuit, data exchange, etc. have been changed to certain changes, so the source code will naturally need to be greatly modified for the changes in the circuit.

It's almost like rewriting it.

In this era, transferring programs on this computer to another model of computer is called transplantation. You must be familiar with the differences between the two circuits, processor instructions, data exchange and many other problems. If you are not careful, conflicts will occur, resulting in crashes, operation errors and other conditions. The difficulty can be imagined.

Fortunately, there is a biological secondary brain!

Guan Fei was once again grateful.

Due to computer performance in this era, the game program is still too short and concise. The Space Invader, a classic masterpiece in the history of games, is only 11K bytes in length. Before Guan Fei came back to his senses, the program had been recompiled, and lines of code flowed down in front of him like a waterfall.

In his state of thinking, Guan Fei reacted quickly. He found that the biological deputy brain is worthy of being a master of fuzzy logic judgment. Not only did he recompile the source code, but he also changed the copyright information and the production company, and what he called the name he was going to give the company in the future - Taiyu Technology.

The company's logo is a Tai Chi diagram, which is clear in black and white, simple and eye-catching. Anyway, the Tai Chi diagram has no copyright, so it is misappropriated.

Isn’t it said that computers are inspired by Tai Chi? Why don’t I use Tai Chi directly as the company logo? People and South Korea have stolen Tai Chi diagrams as the national flag. Isn’t it more natural for Chinese people to use Tai Chi diagrams as the company logo?

Dissatisfied?

If you bite me, you will!

Guan Fei jumped up from the bed. He modified the circuit, generated and printed the drawings, and recompiled the source code. It seemed that there were a lot of things, but it only took a few seconds. It could be said that he had just lying down and got up.

This kind of pediatric design does not consume much biological energy at all.

I think he traveled through time and when the company was responsible for game planning and design, hundreds of engineers in the company were lying together, each of whom was designing a functional module. Then, through the Thinking Network, the module was integrated on the company's biological host, and then the quantum host made logical judgments.

The transplanted space invader he just built was less than one ten thousandth of the amount of normal operation. What is it? Lying down was just due to his years of working habits. When it was urgent, he stood in front of others, blinked and got everything done.

When you show off in the future, you can try it...

Guan Fei got up, took out the drawings he bought today, found the drawing pen and ink, came to the desk and sat down, spread the drawings, and without thinking, he dunked in ink and quickly drew them.

The picture he drew was not a circuit diagram, nor a printed diagram, but an exploded diagram of the frame part of the game console.

Arcade started in 1971. In the early days, no one had any idea. They were exploring and improving it little by little, and the appearance design was also very strange. For example, the earliest "ping-pong" looked very strange.

Historically, the Space Invaders game, which should have been launched next year, was originally designed in a flat table shape because it was promoted in restaurants and other places. The monitor is placed vertically under a glass panel. When customers waiting for the meal are bored, they will throw a coin or two to play with it.

But this design has a fatal flaw, that is, long-term head hooking and playing games at a 90-degree angle, the neck will be twisted and hurt after a moment of time.

In the later version, Taidong Company launched a vertical model, with the monitor tilted forty-five degrees in front of it, so players can stand and play. Later, considering that players will be tired after standing for a long time, they changed to a half-height vertical model, which reduced the arcade height and players can play while sitting.

Guan Fei is not yet planning to design a semi-height vertical body, but an ordinary vertical body.

When a company starts, you don’t have to come up with the best design from the beginning. Taking it step by step can also make users feel that the company is considerate and attentive to users and win a little favor. It is also good to use a few more innovative designs to establish the company’s image in the industry.
