As the technical representative of the factory, the person who came to Neon Country with the training staff of Neon Country was a researcher from Zhao Ye's laboratory.
Said to be a researcher, in fact, it should be said to be an experimental assistant. The superiors asked the joint factory to send technical personnel to follow. There were no better candidates at the time, so Zhao Ye sent Feng Jianjun over. Of course, he was not the only one.
There are also a few who came as cadres in other fields.
After Feng Jianjun came here, he was not eroded by the sugar-coated bullets of capitalism. At this time, people's willpower was quite firm. But after he came, he was extremely uncomfortable. He went to the streets and did not understand foreign languages. No.
Let's go to the streets. It's really uncomfortable to hold back.
Under such circumstances, he remembered the computer that came with him.
For the convenience of their work, a workstation computer also arrived here with the plane.
In Feng Jianjun's dormitory, he assembled the computer himself. Originally, he wanted to use this to study for a while. But after all, he was young, and faced with this computer that he usually couldn't play independently, this time it was his
You have it all for yourself, so make good use of this opportunity.
Thus, the first computer game was born.
No matter how poor Feng Jianjun's skills are, it all depends on who he is competing with. In the laboratory of the factory, he is just a minor role, and in serious research and development work, he is basically a kicker. But this does not mean that he is stupider than others.
, but he was not familiar with those R&D projects.
After all, he had not graduated long enough, and the things he had been exposed to were not of sufficient depth.
However, he still has a lot of experience in software development. After all, Shuimu University has made great achievements in this area in the past two years. This group of students have received good training during their time in school.
He was bored at this time, so he thought about developing a software, just to warm his hands and save himself from being unfamiliar with his skills.
In less than two days, this guy developed a small table tennis game.
The graphics of the game are extremely poor, but the two vertical bars (racquets) controlled by the keyboard and hitting the white dot (ping pong ball) that bounces back and forth in the middle are still somewhat playable.
As a result, Feng Jianjun was addicted to the game he developed all day long. In order to increase the difficulty, he also designed a stage-breaking link. The longer he persisted, the faster the table tennis speed became.
Feng Jianjun does not live alone. In his apartment, there are people from China. When everyone saw this, hey, it’s interesting! So the single-player game became a double-player game.
Playing with two people turned into several groups of people taking turns to play.
Later, people from the Neon Country saw the excitement here, so they came to take a look. At first glance, they were shocked! There are such fun games in the world? Technology is really great!
As a result, not long after, Santai sent a message to Zhennan Island, hoping that Zhao Ye could arrange for more workstation computers to come over.
Zhao Ye was very nervous by this request. His first thought was whether this thing had been stolen by someone?
Later, I thought it was wrong. If such a thing as stealing happened, Kawakami Mie would not dare to hide it from herself. Besides, she couldn't hide it even if she wanted to.
So what do they want this for?
So Zhao Ye sent a detailed inquiry telegram, wanting to know what happened here.
Soon, Zhao Ye was dumbfounded by the call back. What a game it was!
This Feng Jianjun is really a genius! He was so quiet when he was around him, but he had only been gone for a few days, and he was already playing video games!
But after thinking about it carefully, Zhao Ye could understand. What are computers now? They are in their factory. Not to mention rare items, they are at least important scientific research equipment. If Feng Jianjun dares to use the computers here to make games,
Without Zhao Ye having to say anything, his team leader would have to punish him by cleaning the toilets for a month. If you don't refuse, this is the minimum punishment, and you might even be fired.
But of course Zhao Ye wouldn't think so. Aren't computers in later generations just used for playing games? At least Zhao Ye's original intention of buying a computer back then was just to play games.
Of course you can't tell your parents this, but you can't lie to yourself. Learning is an afterthought, games are the first element.
However, he still feels resentful that the first electronic game was not born in his country. Although it was designed by Chinese people, it was not born in China. It is somewhat regrettable.
Knowing this, Zhao Ye suddenly realized that he had neglected an industry, and that was the gaming industry.
The computer technology of this period can already run some simple games. And Neon Country is a big game country. It would be a crime not to make good use of this resource.
Thinking of this, Zhao Ye immediately sent a report to Neon Country asking Feng Jianjun to come back.
When the news reached Neon Country, Feng Jianjun felt as if he had been struck by lightning. It was over, would he be dead if he went back?
But he would not dare to go back. In that case, not only Santai would let him go, but also the few cadres accompanying him would not let such a thing happen.
With an anxious mood, Feng Jianjun got on the plane back. When he got off the plane, he was really panicked.
"Feng Jianjun, come on, let me see the game you designed." Zhao Ye didn't say anything else. He was really curious about what kind of game this guy could design, and all the people he attracted, Kawakami Mie, helped him say good things.
.
"Director, I was wrong, I was really wrong. You can ask me to clean the toilet, but don't fire me!" Feng Jianjun, who had been extremely nervous these days, felt bad after hearing Zhao Ye's question.
Already.
He didn't think that Zhao Ye really wanted to see the game he made up. He must be using this reason to drive him away. Yes, that must be the case.
Because he is dispensable here. He has just graduated and has no important skills or projects. For him, the pressure to survive in this place is very high.
"Who said you were going to be expelled? Really, don't listen to the rumors. I really want to see what you do." Zhao Ye comforted this elementary school student.
"Do you really want to see it?" Feng Jianjun asked unconfidently.
"Nonsense, otherwise why would I fly you all the way back?"
"Ah? Is this why you asked me to come back?" Feng Jianjun opened his eyes wide, why did he not believe it so much!
"What do you think? Stop talking nonsense and open it for me to take a look. Did you bring the copy with you? Don't say you didn't bring it with you. I told you so."
"Oh, I brought it, I brought it." As he said that, Feng Jianjun opened his backpack and took out a disk from it.
This is the latest type of disk, and its storage space is much larger than that of the first generation.
Zhao Ye waited for Feng Jianjun to open it, and after watching this guy play skillfully for a while, he lost interest.
Why the hell is this called a game? When Zhao Ye saw that it was really boring, he didn't understand. What's so attractive about such an incredibly simple thing?
"Here, let me give it a try." Zhao Ye felt that he could not just watch it, but play it with his own hands so that he could better evaluate the quality of a game.
"This can be played by two people." Feng Jianjun also explained.
So, Zhao Ye started playing with Feng Jianjun. While playing, Zhao Ye also discussed the design details of the game with him.
But let's not say that this game looks silly, but once you play it, it is still somewhat attractive.
Especially when you look at the countdown and your own score, this excitement comes up immediately.
After playing a few games, Zhao Ye stopped playing this game. To be honest, from the perspective of a game developer, this game is a bad game.
However, no matter whether it is bad or not, its appearance represents a historical node, especially for computers. At least its appearance has allowed computer technology to find a new world.
Now what Zhao Ye is thinking about is whether to make this thing.
Do you still need to think about this? Of course you do it.
But if you do it well, then how do you do it well? This is the real question.
Zhao Ye began to retreat again. This time, he wanted to find the most economical and performance-optimized design solution under the current technical conditions. It would be too wasteful to directly use his computer.
His purpose is to design a suitable arcade machine. It would be even more perfect if he could also design a game console with the handle of the Little Overlord that he has played before.
Speaking of game consoles, we have to mention the 6802 chip of the former MOS company. This is an excellent chip that created the prosperity and myth of games.
Its excellence lies not in performance, but in its cheapness. At that time, the performance of this chip was roughly equivalent to Motorola's 68000, but the price was less than one-fifth of it. It is precisely because of its low price that this chip
It shined in the field of home appliances, especially game consoles. Even in the 1980s and 1990s, many of the game consoles we played still used this chip.
Should we use ism?
Zhao Ye was a little hesitant. This was not because of some mental mysophobia, but because the design concept of this chip was very different from their current design concept, and the technical model used was also very different. If he copied it, Zhao Ye would be very worried.
I'm worried that it will bias many of my own design ideas. Because no matter how awesome the chips are, they are all designed by people. As long as it is designed by people, there will be more or less people's habits in it.
Zhao Ye is not saying that his current habits and ideas are the best, but if he studies the Western model, Zhao Ye always feels that it will limit the development of his own line in the future.
If you waste your own things in the end, then the gain outweighs the loss.
Zhao Ye was thinking and walking, and unknowingly he reached the seaside. Looking at the sea, Zhao Ye was also excited. Looking at the small islands here one after another, Zhao Ye couldn't help but recall the days when he "started a business".
hardships.
"Eh? I'm such a pig!" Zhao Ye looked at the scene in front of him and suddenly gave himself a hard time. Why should he bother with this? Just open another design team. The two groups of people are separated.
, just move forward along different technical routes! Just like these small islands on the sea, wasn’t that how they were formed in the first place!
