Siheyuan: The Era of Core Generation

Chapter 181 The Birth of Computer Games

As the technical representative of the factory, it was a researcher from Zhao Ye's laboratory who followed the trainers of the Neon Country to the Neon Country.

It is said that it is a researcher, but it should be said that it is an experimental assistant.The superior asked the joint factory to send technicians to follow. At that time, there was no better candidate, so Zhao Ye sent Feng Jianjun over.Of course he wasn't the only one who came, there were also several other cadres who came here.

After Feng Jianjun came here, he was not eroded by the sugar-coated bullets of capitalism.People at this time have quite firm willpower.It's just that after he came here, he was extremely uncomfortable, let's go to the street, and he doesn't understand foreign languages.Don't go to the street, it's really uncomfortable.

In this case, he remembered the computer that came with him.

For the convenience of their work, a workstation computer also followed the plane here.

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 is young. Facing this computer, which is usually not able to play independently, this time it is his exclusive use. Such an opportunity should be used well.

Thus, the first computer game was born.

No matter how poor Feng Jianjun's skills are, it depends on who he compares with.In the laboratory of the factory, he is a small role in making soy sauce, and he is basically a helper in serious research and development work.But this doesn't mean that he is stupid than others, it's just that he is not familiar with those research and development projects.

After all, he has not graduated for a long time, and the things he has come into contact with are not very deep enough.

However, for software development, he still has a lot of experience.After all, Shuimu University has made great achievements in this area in the past two years.Correspondingly, this group of students has been well trained during their school days.

He was bored at this time, so he thought about developing a software, just as a hand warmer, so as to save his own skills from being unfamiliar.

In less than two days, this guy developed a small game of table tennis.

The picture of the game is extremely poor, but there is still some playability when using the two vertical bars (rackets) controlled by the keyboard to hit the white dot (ping pong ball) that bounces back and forth in the middle.

Therefore, Feng Jianjun was addicted to the game he developed all day long.In order to increase the difficulty, he also designed a link to break through.The longer you persist, the faster the table tennis will be.

Feng Jianjun doesn't live alone. In his apartment, there are people who follow him from China.When you look at this, hey, it’s interesting!So one-player becomes two-player.

Playing in pairs has turned into several groups of people playing in rotation.

Later, people from the Neon Kingdom saw the excitement here, so they also came to take a look. After seeing it, they were astonished!Is there such a fun game in the world?Technology is really great!
So, not long after, Santai sent a message to Zhennan Island, hoping that Zhao Ye could arrange more workstation-style computers to come over.

Zhao Ye was completely overwhelmed by this request. His first feeling was whether this thing was stolen by someone?

It was wrong to think about it later, if such a thing of stealing happened, Kawakami Mie would not dare to hide herself.Besides, if you want to hide it, you can't hide it.

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!

This Feng Jianjun is really a talent!When he was by his side, he didn't look like a mountain or dewy water. He's only been away for a few days, and he's already playing a video game!
But after thinking about it carefully, Zhao Ye could understand it.What is a computer today?It is in their factory, let alone rare items, at least they are important scientific research equipment.If this Feng Jianjun dared to use the computer here to play games without Zhao Ye speaking, his team leader would punish him to clean the toilet for a month.Don't be dissatisfied, this is the lowest punishment, maybe you may be fired.

But of course Zhao Ye didn't think so. Computers in later generations are just for playing games, aren't they?At least Zhao Ye's original intention to buy a computer back then was to play games.

Of course you can't tell your parents this, but you can't lie to yourself.Learning everything is a later story, and games are the first element.

But for the first video game, it was not born in his place, which made him still brood.Although it was designed by the people of Hua, the place of birth is not in Hua.It's kind of a pity.

Knowing this, Zhao Ye suddenly realized that he had neglected an industry, and that was the game industry.

The computer technology of this period has been able to run some simple games.And the neon country, that 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 Nihong Nation, asking Feng Jianjun to come back.

When the news reached Neon Country, Feng Jianjun was struck by lightning.It's over, it's over, will you die when you go back?
But if he didn't go back, he didn't dare.In that case, not only would Santai let him go, but even the accompanying cadres would not let such a thing happen.

Feeling apprehensive, Feng Jianjun got on the plane back.When he got off the plane, he really panicked.

"Feng Jianjun, come, come, 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 Mie Kawakami who attracted him helped him speak well. .

"Director, I was wrong, I was really wrong. You can let me clean the toilet, don't fire me!" Feng Jianjun, who was nervous these days, felt bad after hearing Zhao Ye's question. up.

He didn't think that Zhao Ye really wanted to watch the game he made up.He must have wanted to use this reason to drive himself away.Yes, it must be so.

Because he has nothing to do here.Not long after graduation, I don't have any important technologies or projects in my hands. For such a self, the pressure to survive in this place is very high.

"Whoever said that you will be fired, really, don't listen to rumors. I really want to see what you do." Zhao Ye comforted the elementary school boy.

"Do you really want to see it?" Feng Jianjun asked unconfidently.

"Nonsense, otherwise, why would I fly you back all the way?"

"Ah? That's why you asked me to come back?" Feng Jianjun's eyes widened. Why did he not believe it?
"What do you think, don't talk nonsense, quickly open it for me to take a look. Have you brought a copy? Don't say you didn't bring it, I told you."

"Oh, I have it, I have it." With that said, Feng Jianjun opened his backpack and took out a disk from it.

This is the latest type of disk, and the storage space is much larger than that of the first generation.

After Zhao Ye waited for Feng Jianjun to open it, he watched this guy play skillfully for a while, and then lost interest.

What the hell is this called a game?Zhao Ye saw that it was really boring, so he didn't understand, what is so attractive about such a simple thing that explodes?

"Come on, let me give it a try." Zhao Ye feels that he can't just watch it, but play it himself, so that he can 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 the other party.

But not to mention, this game looks silly, but once played, it is still somewhat attractive.

Especially when watching the countdown and your own score, the excitement comes up immediately.

After playing a few rounds, Zhao Ye stopped playing this game.To be honest, from a game developer's point of view, this game is a terrible game.

However, whether it is bad or not, its appearance represents a historical juncture, especially for computers.At least its appearance has allowed computer technology to find a new world.

Now Zhao Ye is thinking about whether to make this thing.

Do you still need to think about this?Of course I did.

But if you want to do it well, how do you do it well?This is a real problem.

Zhao Ye began to retreat again. This time, he wanted to find the most cost-effective and performance-optimized design solution under the current technical conditions.It would be too wasteful to use his computer directly.

His purpose is to design a suitable arcade.It would be even more perfect if we could design a game console with the handle of Xiaobawang that we have played before.

Speaking of game consoles, I have to mention the 6802 chip of the former MOS company.This is an excellent chip for gaming prosperity and gaming mythology.

Its excellence lies not in performance, but in cheapness.Back then, the performance of this chip was roughly equivalent to Motorola's 68000, but the price was less than one-fifth of her.It is precisely because of the low price that this chip shines in the field of home appliances, especially on game consoles. Even in the 90s, many game consoles we have played, many of which are still using this chip.

Do you want to use doctrine?

Zhao Ye was a little hesitant. It wasn't because of some mental obsession with cleanliness. It was because the design concept of this chip was very different from their current design concept, and the technical model of the application was also quite different.Zhao Ye was very worried that if he copied it, he would take a lot of design ideas from his own side.Because even the best chips are designed by humans, as long as they are designed by humans, there will be more or less human habits in them.

Zhao Ye is not saying that his current habits and thoughts are the best, but if he studies the Western model, Zhao Ye always feels that he 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 walked while thinking, and walked to the beach without knowing it.Looking at the sea, Zhao Ye was also emotional.Looking at the small islands here one after another, Zhao Ye couldn't help but recall the hardships when he "started a business".

"Huh? I'm such a pig brain!" Zhao Ye looked at the scene in front of him, and suddenly gave himself a brain attack. Why did he worry about this?Just start another design team.The two groups of people are separated, and each advances along a different technical route.Just like these small islands on the sea, wasn't it formed in the same way at the beginning!
