Blooming America

Chapter 223 Mbus Game Console

Walker moved the mouse, and then his entire seat began to move, and the iron rod that served as the barrel in front of him began to change its direction.

He looked at the quasi-centre position on the screen, and then nodded.

"It's incredible, oh, it's definitely a gun in the history of tanks"

The person in charge of the Seat Quality Supervision and Management Office, Walker is very optimistic about ARK. Although their products seem to be unprecedented, they are indeed of great help to the war.

Although Walker uses mouse control, such a mouse is totally useless in war.

Catherine originally wanted to use a capacitive touch panel as a device, but unfortunately, there is no such device at all.

The reason why the Beep Boy 1016 can develop so fast is inseparable from the fire control system and laser rangefinder provided by Hughes.

——Now, the two companies have started to cooperate with this system.

Walker is now sitting in a virtual tank machine built by technicians for experimentation.

In front of him is a flat CRT screen. On this screen, there is a red crosshair. With the movement of his mouse, the picture begins to change-this picture originates from the camera on the barrel.

The crosshair is the position of the impact point. According to the position measured by the laser rangefinder and the data of the projectile, the computer can perform inverse calculations based on these data, and then align the position of the muzzle with the projectile point.

This is where the legend refers

Walker was in a good mood when he got off the machine.

"By the way, if you use a mouse, it is convenient, but is it too insecure?"

Walker asked the technician.

"Yes, so when we officially use it, we will use a fixed handle operation. The button on the right is to select the type of ammunition, and the left is to control the position of the crosshair."

The technician explained.

"In fact, we initially considered using a touch panel device, which is more accurate and has better results, but unfortunately, this device is only in the design stage and has not been put into practical use."

In her previous life, Catherine was very used to using the keyboard and touchpad that came with the laptop. Once the touchpad was used, it was very convenient.

Therefore, Catherine's front sight system initially considered the use of a touchpad, but unfortunately, this kind of touchpad idea is somewhat unrealistic.

"Really?" Walker nodded.

"In fact, our main problem now is loading bombs. Although our computer can complete this task, most of the time, the space problem in the tank itself is the most troublesome."

Walker nodded: "Using automatic control can greatly reduce the number of riders, so that there is enough space."

The technician nodded.

"In fact, it would be nice to have a customized fully automated tank... If it is an unmanned tank that does not require our children to step into the battlefield... Alas."

Walker shook his head. With his words, Catherine, who had just come over, turned her entire face into "囧", automatic tank? Too far away

"The unmanned tank is still far away, but I think if it is automated, it is still possible."

Catherine smiled and told the trend of future wars.

"Perhaps a fully automated tank is better than our current modification method." The technician suddenly interjected.

Walker nodded, he looked thoughtful.

After the other party left, Catherine was also thinking, is it better to have a specially customized tank?

But compared to those arms dealers, Catherine's ARK is not enough to look at. Hughes chose to cooperate with Catherine's company because of its vital interests.

Want to talk to those traditional arms dealers... it is possible to at least double the market value, right?

For now, continuing to develop a stable and military-friendly system is the kingly way.

The research and development has reached a critical stage. With the grant of 100 million US dollars, the research has become much smoother. After the release, the company is ready to start researching a stable 16-bit military-grade CPU.

For Catherine, the company's product sales are not a problem. With a new generation of TV sales models, Catherine's products have almost just been shipped from Taiwan to the United States, and immediately need to be sent to all parts of the country.

The company also signed a long-term contract with FedEx for this purpose.

The supply is in short supply, so Taiwan is producing products with full horsepower. Although it is low-cost, low-price, and the company even operates three shifts, it can only barely maintain, and cannot continue to expand production.

"How about the research on the automatic locking system?"

After Walker left, Catherine asked the researcher.

"Uh...in fact, I don't think the performance of our computer can support such complex calculations..."

Indeed, it is really difficult to realize automatic locking solely by analyzing images.

After all, until the 21st century, this automatic locking system still has many difficulties that have not been overcome.

"That's it for now."

As Catherine said, she also left.

Then, Catherine came to the research department of mbus.

The next generation of game consoles will become the touchstone of Katherine's GPU.

The predetermined specification of the mbus game machine is to adopt a maximum resolution of 560×420, and the memory and video memory are both 256KB.

It is expected that the system can support up to 65536 colors and up to 256 colors on the same screen.

——Of course, this is in the absence of GPU support.

Catherine does not intend to directly install the GPU on the mbus game console. This will only extend the development cycle of the game console and increase the cost.

What Catherine considers is to use the GPU as an add-on module that will later be used with some 3D games-or pseudo 3D games-for sale.

Therefore, a slot must be reserved in the system, which is easy to handle.

mbus will support the current X cassette games and tape games downwards.

In the future, the GPU module only needs to be inserted into the slot of the game cassette. In the "historical" game console, because of insufficient performance, game developers chose to add a DSP chip to the cassette as a compensation.

Games that require a GPU to improve performance will be sold in the form of CDs.

The CUDA patent will be applied for soon, and future games that require GPU will also be marked with CUDA on the packaging.

The capacity of CDs is not comparable to that of cassettes. This also allows oneself to have more space to design programs without being limited by capacity.

In addition, in Catherine's vision, the machine should also be able to support network battles. At the same time, this idea is also the most difficult to achieve.

Realizing online battles is nothing more interesting in Catherine's vision.

In "historic", the reason why Microsoft's game consoles succeeded is because they had the network as a weapon.

In history, Sega’s game consoles were singular and they were also popular because of the Internet. It’s just a pity that Sega’s shipments and output have been seriously unable to keep up, resulting in not occupying the market at the best time, coupled with the impact of "Final Fantasy" and other masterpieces. In the end, Sega’s game consoles finally failed. tragedy.

Of course, Catherine will not repeat the same mistakes.

It's just that for the time being, the Internet penetration rate is really not high. Doing this on your own can even be said to increase the cost.

If it doesn’t work, Catherine considers giving up the network support in mbus. It’s a big deal for the next generation of hosts to join this support...best, it can be used in FPS and other first-person shooter games...

In addition, the mbus game console is also a game device that Catherine is preparing to enter the Japanese market.

The advance of IBM gave Catherine an inspiration.

The Japanese developed computers after the 1980s, and the weird -98 architecture was created by them.

Therefore, now my company may enter the Japanese market smoothly.

It's just that Catherine still has some worries in her heart.

Because of the prosperity of personal computers, history has changed drastically.

For example, the study of memory.

Because Catherine's Microsoft-type computers opened up the hardware market, third parties began to become active. So far, there is a single memory of up to 128KB.

Catherine opened the door to the electronic world ahead of time. Although historical Moore's Law still exists, the concept that only appeared in the 1970s has now begun to have products. Catherine believes that the future of this world must be more colorful.

However, competing manufacturers may appear earlier. Now they hold most of the patents. These patents, as well as their own ultra-low price measures, have effectively prevented other manufacturers from competing with Catherine, so they can only act as Exist as a third party.

Maybe, Japanese manufacturers will also research out their game consoles in advance, so Catherine will lose a lot.

Although it is said ~www.wuxiaspot.com~, it is not that simple for the Japanese to develop a finished product.

Although the personal computer market has grown to where it is today, Catherine has never published a paper on CPUs.

Such a world may be technically stronger than the original history, but as far as the level of technology is concerned, the average level of the world may be even lower than before-and the initiator of this matter is named Catherine Eyre. Desen’s big capitalist.

But it is not absolute. As long as they are willing to spend money, they may be able to study it.

Instead of waiting for their research to enter the US market, it is better to preemptively and occupy the Japanese market first.

At this time, IBM was just in front of it.

As the saying goes, Qianlang died on the beach. With IBM shielding ARK from the knife, Catherine didn't mind making more money.
