Blooming America

Chapter 103 Title Party

It is coming out from the Pentagon, Catherine said this.

"Ok."

Sanders nodded.

Although Catherine's proposal is a bit awkward, Sanders is not flustered.

In some companies, there are often various "face projects", especially in some places where performance is not hooked, and some sectors eating a big pot.

But Sanders Governance Company has a set, he can say that it is awareness.

Otherwise, in the original world, Sanders can't lead AMD and Intel counter for a long time.

Come to the R & D department, Catherine first saw the technician was putting a A4 paper so large.

"That is?"

"MCU."

Sanders said: "It is still in development."

Catherine walked over.

But she immediately disappointed this so-called single chip.

This cannot be said to be a single chip, this is just a one-piece computer. In Catherine, this thing is not necessary.

"How much is the cost?" Catherine asked

"Now 4004 CPU is mature, if it realizes the amount of production, it takes about $ 150."

Although it is a single chip, the cost is as high as more than $ 100.

This thing is not a single-chip microcomputer at all, just a board!

Moreover ... use this stuff to make a remote control?

Catherine shook his head.

"The cost should be lowered as possible. Low, lower."

Catherine said so.

"The microcontroller is not a computer, we don't need a special feature, just need to implement the features we need with the simplest language program and the cheapest CPU, others, do not take it!"

Sanders nodded.

After all, the microcontroller has just appeared, and its concept is very vague. Since Catherine said this, then it was trying to see this.

"You can combine CPU and ROM and RAM, form a separate device, just like this, it is ok. This is completely opposite to our Microsoft II computer."

Catherine said so. And Sanders nodded.

Single chip has great prospects, although the average person knows, but it is deeply in the home of everyone. Sometimes, the black square seen from the dismantled green silicon sheet is a single-chip microcomputer, but it is not all.

"How is Z80?" Catherine asked again.

"We have produced demonstration processors with the same functions, but although the Z80 expected function is achieved, the size is larger than that microcontroller, it is impossible. However, the completion of Z80 is only a matter of time. For up to half years, you can see the finished product. In addition, the template of the Microsoft II computer has been set, and we have also reached an agreement with many manufacturers. As long as Z80 is made, the Microsoft II must be within a month. manufacture complete."

Catherine nodded.

Z80 is the top priority, even more important than the microcontroller.

Catherine originally thought that it would also need to enter a fund to accelerate the development of Z80, but it seems that it is no longer available.

"That, you just said that there is a thing that has been able to reach Z80?"

Catherine asked again.

Sanders nodded and then made people moved out the big thing than the brick.

"Because it is the relationship of the demonstration, we name it Z79."

"Cost?" Catherine continued.

"If the cost does not require Z80 so fine, it can be satisfied with the 4004 production line. Of course, the Z80 is still produced, which is just an estimate."

Catherine puts this thing: "How can Z79 narrow the quarter, can you do?"

Sanders thought: "It takes about a month, maybe longer. But what is the use of such a huge thing?"

"I want to develop a game console."

"Game machine?"

Sanders thought of Xiaobang.

"Yes, its name is XBOX!"

Catherine laughed.

Although Catherine wants to name his game machine "FC", think about it, she still thinks. Because FC's English is Family-Computer.

That is, "family computer" means.

In order not to let others say that they are the title party, Catherine can only name my own equipment with another name.

So she gave her new game machine a more title party.

Catherine really wanted to know that Bill Gats students know that he plagiarize his so many things - although just name - then, his face on his face.

Of course, Bill Gates now is probably in elementary school ...

Catherine let them combine Z79, then boot.

At this time, Catherine sat next to the computer, ready to start programming.

She did this, it is making a game.

She is programming this game, which is not general, this is the legendary - "Super Mario".

If there is a long way to have a far-reaching, then there is absolutely no game can be "super Mario".

In the past 1980s, the entire game industry has fallen into a state of stopping, and many manufacturers have hidden at this time. Including the founder of the game industry, also losses, even a loss.

If the game industry goes like this, it is very likely that when it is more in the future, the game industry will disappear, and even many classic games will appear in the future.

At this time, "Super Mario" is born, not only let Nintendo have become the hegemony of the game industry, but more importantly, "Super Mario" has led to the development of the entire game industry, so that one is about to disappear. The industry rejuvenates the vitality and gets more far.

It is precisely because of the emergence of Muro's uncle's uncle's red hat, the whole world became colorful.

I would like to ask such a game, how can Catherine will not be tempted?

Of course, Catherine naturally impossible to have the whole game due to time and energy limitations.

She just writes the control program required by the game and the basic operations.

Then, what she wants to do is to find blizzard, then let them go deep into the development.

Catherine believes that the "Super Mario" produced by Blizzard is definitely not poor than the original version.

You must know that the advertisement of Blizzard is "Blizzard, it will be boutique"!
