industrial maniac

TEP Computer Services, Multimedia Conference Room.

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

According to regulations, one day off is required.

However, foreign companies are not short of money, collectively pay three salaries, and the whole factory continues to work.

Xu Fei was sitting at the end of the meeting room. On the left was the scientific research personnel drawn by Uncle Sun, and on the right was the programmer responsible for the game console project.

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 'Reload Mechanic'.

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

Such as 5 yuan coupons, toy gift packs, FMC burgers, Pupu Coke...

Moreover, the operator will regularly push update packages to the official website. As long as the player connects the power bank to the computer on time and updates the game according to the steps, the hidden one-time treasure can be regained.

Players have a 'survival basis' in the village and start looking for monsters.

The mutated ants in the depths of the alley, the biochemical spider in a certain house, the water monkey hiding in the old-fashioned well, the woman in red who only appears at night, the big white goose blocking the intersection, Boos Huang who needs bones to lure out.

Since the game uses a 480-inch screen with a resolution of 720x5, the area is large enough, and the battle mode is changed to 'instant battle'.

In the non-combat state, the player character looks like a Diablo 2 screen on the screen.

After the battle is triggered or set individually, special effects appear on the edge of the screen.

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

And the upper part shows the status of the enemy and the enemy, the left side lists the auxiliary props, the right side can choose multiple weapons, and the lower part is the skill.

The operation method is: eight-way key + nine skill buttons.

Skills include: block, parry, counterattack, dodge and so on.

Combining skills with the arrow keys to form a rubbing move, and there will also be special skills that match the character's occupation.

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

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 was chased by the opponent and ran all over the village, leaving footprints in every alley, and he can get the achievement of "Childhood Memories of Director Xu", +99 points, which can be exchanged for real Bronze Medal - 'Future Mechanic'.

For example: 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, if you survive until dawn, you can get the achievement of 'I'm not afraid of ghosts', +99 points.

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

In short, each of the more than 6000 students of TEP Computer Service Company has designed 10 wonderful achievements and titles. As long as you are good at exploring, you will definitely gain something.

In addition, the game also has a small game module.

Just find a child and you can play beast chess, find two NPCs and you can fight the landlord, find three NPCs and you can play mahjong, yo-yos, sandbags, rubber bands, ticket holders...

However, the difficulty of the mini-game is different for different NPCs. Occasionally, an NPC becomes angry and triggers a battle. If the child is hit, the parents will run out. If the parent is hit, all the NPCs in the village will run over...

The resource pack uses the vector graphics of TEP Design Consulting Company, and the map is also very rich, including: village→town→school→outskirts→small town→factory→riverside→underground tunnel→university town→playground→supermarket.

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

After reading the information, Xu Fei was very satisfied with this game.

The trouble is that the resolution of 480x760 means that maps, vector graphics, mission models, skill special effects, etc. will take up 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 small games such as Contra.

But now it needs to be expanded to: 2M video memory, 16M running memory, 512M storage capacity...

This has caught up with the desktop computers of previous years.

Xu Fei thought of this, and suddenly thought of something, "Tao, you didn't plagiarize the Diablo game engine, did you?"

"How is it possible? This is the 2D game engine that the previously acquired West Studios integrated resources and helped to produce. Maybe the Diablo series should be borrowed from us."

"Since it's so awesome, why doesn't anyone play Command and Conquer?"

"Piracy of discs is prevalent in our country. In the second half of the year, someone made some brilliant MOD. They are all playing that version. Who would spend more than 60 yuan to buy the genuine version?"

"How does our game prevent theft?"

"As a hacker, regardless of software encryption or hardware encryption, the game will be cracked sooner or later and ported to other devices, and even competitors will participate 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."

Xu Fei heard the words and looked at the minimum operating configuration in the game data, "What if other people's devices catch up?"

"Unless it is a computer, with the configuration of the handheld, it will basically not be able to catch up within 10 years."

"What if it is transplanted to a computer?"

"The game client has a specially set hidden file. Once it is stored in the computer, it will actively collect device information and send the IP address to the TEP computer service company-network security department...We have hackers, and when the time comes, we will negotiate to resolve it, or we can solve it alone. It depends on the sincerity of the other party.”

"..."

Xu Fei thought for a while, feeling that there seemed to be no other way to prevent theft, so he simply put the matter aside and looked at the researchers that Uncle Sun had transferred.

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

There are many types of memory, readable, writable, and readable and writable.

Therefore, the job can be dispatched.

First exchange a six-level basic production line to manufacture memory particles. After the production is completed, it is packaged into 16M running memory.

Then exchange for a six-level basic production line to manufacture chips. After the production is completed, they are packaged into 512M memory cards.

In addition, based on CRT imaging technology, try to make a 480x720, 5-inch screen controller, cable, image input and output components.

And based on the above, develop integrated graphics cards with 2M video memory, as well as circuit boards, running chips...

Fortunately, this game is not a large PC game, and the personnel selected by Uncle Sun are all leaders in various fields.

'Then why am I still looking for Raymond? '

Xu Fei thought about it seriously. He didn't make large screens. After launching the 'power bank', who knows if he will produce monitors and game consoles again.

Therefore, there is no need to give Raymond's money.

……

in the afternoon.

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

The power bank can charge the electric version of Mechanical Three Kingdoms 9 times, and it can charge 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 effective within three days". Mini supercapacitor charging.

When the player consumes the power of the toy, the charging is complete, and the toy is connected to the mini super capacitor again to complete the fast charging in 2 to 3 seconds.

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

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

As for the power bank specifications...

If you add the XLED screen and the electronic components of the game console, it is roughly equivalent to three boxes of Yuxi cigarettes placed side by side, weighing at least 750g.

"It seems that Tang Mo should think carefully about the appearance and shape."

Xu Fei made a call to TEP Design Consulting Company, and sent the power bank specifications, screen size, operation button layout, etc. all at once.

After finishing her work, she turned her head and found that the second sister was staring at her like a psychopath.

Xu Fei was a little apprehensive, "Second Sister, when did you come back?"

"..."

"Thanks for your hard work!"

"..."

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

"..."

"Really, we searched for a whole day, and even used chug chugs to get rid of the mice. It's just a pity for your snacks..."

"..."

"Well, I have something to do today, so I'm off work first."

Xu Fei pretended nothing happened, and walked to the door, but he heard the voice behind him.

"Director, when you get home, you must hide the knives in the kitchen and close the door of your bedroom when you sleep at night."

"..."

"I'm afraid of sleepwalking at night, I won't be able to control myself then!"

Xu Fei took out his mobile phone, "Crooked? Sino-Ocean Group, let the logistics truck back to Huangnigang buy some delicious food along the way, such as potato chips, crispy corners, Wangwang senbei, jelly, fruit peel... …and a bottle of Estee Lauder hand cream to send to the workshop office.”

…………

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

On January 1nd, the youth football team brought back the National U2 Champions Cup, which was made of pure gold like a mallet trophy.

In order to test the children's football skills and to take a photo with Zidane, the staff took turns to compete on the court, attracting many young and old to watch.

At the same time, the Dasawa Industrial Complex has five employee activity centers in the east, west, north, and south, and the 'Daze Cinema', which is jointly invested, officially opened. 'Earth Crisis', 'Battle of Sahara'.

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

Among them, the first-day box office of Star Wars was 3010 million US dollars, making it the No. 3 highest-grossing premiere in film history. Now a week and a half later, the cumulative box office has exceeded 1.5 million US dollars.

And my own two movies.

The documentary film of the Hazara battle won a box office of 4500 million US dollars, breaking a series of domestic records.

Earth Crisis... Maybe the actors were too exaggerated and scolded, which made Pupu very unhappy.

Such an evaluation caused the box office to fail to break through 2000 million US dollars in the first week.

Let's count it back.

In addition, 'Tinhide Entertainment' released a new work.

This time we still use 'micro-scenery' shooting, plus post-production.

It's just that the audience is no longer allowed to appreciate the gears running, but to witness various mechanical collisions.

The friction between the blade and the gun barrel, the impact deformation between the metals, the shock feeling of heavy equipment stepping on the ground, coupled with the greasy mechanic, the scarred mercenary, and the tattered but beautiful long-legged girl ...

It was released in North America for a week and a half, and the box office even won 2.5 million US dollars. Except for the premiere loss to "Star Wars", all other aspects were spiked, and it is still rising steadily.

And the box office of Europe, Japan Island, Nanbangzi, and South America all directly caught up with North America.

For this reason, after Xu Fei paid Industrial Light & Magic US$5000 million for special effects, he gave each of the only five employees of Tiepi Entertainment a bonus of US$1000 million in red notes.

It's July 1th.

After the various departments of TEP Computer Service Company and TEP Design Consulting Company worked overtime, the first batch of 'Power Bank' prototypes were finally sent 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 side-by-side thin cigarette cases, with corners and edges, painted in matte black, with slightly raised buttons, very much like... an iron plate?Battery capacity 1500mAh+500mAh (lithium polymer + mini super capacitor), game console configuration 2+16+512M (video memory+memory+storage)

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

The third one is like a backpack, like carrying a small battery, with a battery capacity of up to 10A. The phone screen also becomes an assembled style, six in one.

The operation center gives a suggested retail price.

Chinese version: 299 red notes, 599 red notes...

North American version: $169, $369...

Japanese island version: 9999 Japanese coins, 19999 Japanese coins...

South stick version...

European version...

Xu Fei ran back to the production workshop to calculate the output.

Although the size of the three charging treasures is huge, the most basic electronic devices are actually the same.

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

The same is true for storage devices, but the chips are packaged 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 6000 pieces, and a single piece can obtain 35 energy, which can obtain 21 billion per day.

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

It is not a problem to produce 10 per day, and 350 billion energy can be obtained every day!
Xu Fei took out his mobile phone and looked through the calendar.

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

"On annual leave!"

"I've been busy for a year, and it's time to take a break."

Xu Fei immediately informed the operation center that, except for the TEP computer service company, as well as relevant students, necessary clerks, and necessary management, the whole factory will be on annual leave, and work will resume on the [-]th day of the first month.

However, when he returned to the office, the secretary presented three documents.

One is the anti-monopoly penalty of Wajima, 1600 billion Japanese coins.

One is the North American antitrust penalty, 2 million US dollars.

One is the third brother's anti-monopoly penalty, which is 5 million U.S. dollars.

Xu Fei looked at the last one and was annoyed on the spot, "Why are you meddling? Do you really think you can make Zeppelin? Besides, my family doesn't have any business with you."

"Director, do you want to pay the money?"

"Am I stupid?"

"But if we don't pay, the TEP directly-operated store will remove all the toys of Tin Sheet Company, otherwise it will be forced to close down."

"Forget it, now the main goal is to win the power bank market in Europe. With the basic market, we will counterattack the North American market, and then sweep the Japanese island. If you dare to block my store..."

Xu Fei gritted his teeth, "Help me prepare two convertibles, first salute and then serve, let's say Foreman did it."
