Rebirth 86: I use games to kick open the door to the world

No one in the Computer Research Institute expected that Zuo Zhen would make a big move.

This time it turned out to be a collaboration with a research institution in another country.

Although Zuo Zhen has repeatedly stated that this matter is not 100% successful yet, it is still worthy of their happiness for a long time.

At the same time, they also learned that Pajitnov, a foreigner, had previously worked at the Computer Science Center of Mao Ziguo.

And all in all, that science center still owed Zuo Zhen a huge favor.

Tetris rights worth millions of dollars.

If it weren't for Zuo Zhen, it might have been bought by those guys in Europe and America at a very cheap price.

But at the same time, a group of people at the Computer Research Institute were also somewhat surprised by the benefits brought by video games.

Can you make money by bringing entertainment to others?

I really looked down on it before.

Zuo Zhen spent a few days at the research institute to get a basic centralized control and management system here so that the research efficiency here can be improved.

As for the actual hardware level, Zuo Zhen really doesn't have much help, so he can only let the people in the research institute tackle the problem on their own.

But even so, the attitude of the engineers in several research groups towards Zuo Zhen has changed significantly.

Apart from anything else, Zuo Zhen himself was able to create a simple management system for them, which is not something ordinary people can do.

Zuo Zhen can be regarded as gaining the respect of these people by virtue of his own strength.

Then Zuo Zhen ran to Mao Ziguo to actually discuss cooperation.

Zuo Zhen got the news from Mao Ziguo's Computer Science Center that they were unable to provide help.

Because that's not what their science center studies.

But as Pajitnov said, computer science centers can make the connection.

Judging from the fact that the Science Center owed Zuo Zhen a favor, they were willing to help Zuo Zhen lobby for it.

With the endorsement of Mao Ziguo's own Computer Science Center, Zuo Zhen quickly connected with their National Academy of Sciences and an unnamed Technology Design Bureau.

The person in charge of the Academy of Sciences is very interested in cooperation between the two countries' research institutions, because their Academy of Sciences is also facing a problem of research funding, and the research topics have also been difficult to advance for a long time.

But China is very sincere. As long as technology is shared, in the future, technology patents can be divided based on the contributions made by both parties.

Judging from the pie that Zuo Zhen has drawn for these people, it is very profitable to develop a dedicated flash memory chip for game consoles.

At least Sega will have tens of millions of orders waiting for it.

As a result, the two sides hit it off immediately, and Zuo Zhen, the lobbyist, successfully established a cooperative relationship between the research institutions of the two countries.

In fact, if we really talk about it, there are many research projects waiting to be explored in Mao Ziguo.

In later generations, after Maozi State became Russia, archaeological research became popular for a while.

Relying on the science and technology left over from its predecessor, Mao Ziguo, to strengthen itself.

This shows how much potential the various technologies Mao Ziguo once studied have.

As soon as the cooperation was reached, Mao Ziguo immediately sent people to China. The two parties first shared their respective technical content to arrange the subsequent research and development rhythm.

As for Zuo Zhen, his goal has been basically achieved. If optimistically estimated, the Thunderbolt Fighter may still enjoy low-cost flash memory chips before its release, which should be the real killer by then.

Of course, by the way, Pajitnov also took his wife and children from Maozi to China.

The excuse was that the child missed his father, so he simply went to China to reunite the father and son. As for whether he would go back, that was another question.

Anyway, since Pajitnov got used to staying in China, he no longer wants to go back to Maozi Country.

…

When another month passed, pieces of good news finally came from the Computer Research Institute of China.

Mao Ziguo actually had similar research on dedicated flash memory before.

Of course, this was not used to prepare for game production at the beginning, but for something more advanced: a manned spacecraft.

As the first country to send humans into space, its aerospace technology was considered the best in the world at the time, and there was an endless amount of technical research on various details.

As long as it can go to space smoothly and safely, then no matter what technology is perfect, flash memory research can only be regarded as a peripheral research direction.

A technology branch that was previously used for aerospace research is now used to branch out into a game-specific flash memory chip. It is really not difficult to research.

At least it's not difficult with the current size of the game.

Since then, resources, technology, manpower, everything has been gathered together by Zuo Zhen.

Even Mr. Wu was amazed.

This kid not only has technical talent, but he also has some people skills.

And it also has the ability to connect people that none of them expected.

The research team of the institute is also unambiguous and everything is ready, so the rest is really just a matter of time.

They immediately promised to produce results within three months, and with the production capacity of Mao Ziguo and Huaxia, they could also produce millions of flash memory chips for Zuo Zhen in the early stage.

Moreover, if Zuo Zhen wants to use it, he can purchase it at cost price.

Since then, the storage trouble that Zuo Zhen has been thinking about has finally been solved.

If thunder and lightning can be created, won’t games with higher storage capacity be at your fingertips in the future?

After receiving the good news, Zuo Zhen was almost so excited that he couldn't sleep for several days.

This can be considered a big progress.

Then, it should finally be time for us to promote the Thunder Fighter.

Previously, it was impossible to promote the Thunderbolt fighter due to flash memory.

If the flash memory chip cannot be overcome in the end and the game image quality is reduced, the credibility of the players that has been accumulated with great difficulty may be greatly reduced.

As for now, he doesn't have to worry about anything anymore.

"Zuo Zhen-san? It's been a long time since I called you. Do you want to ask about the flash memory chip today?"

In the Sega office in Japan, Gao Cunxiong answered Zuo Zhen's call in surprise.

"About this, I don't need to ask any more questions. I have another good news to tell you now."

"Oh? What news?"

"I think I should be able to announce some of the games I've been developing recently."

"Huh? Is it finally going to be announced? Is it the Thunder Fighter? This is good news, but what are you going to do about the game quality on the home console?"

At this time, Komura thought that Zuo Zhen had not yet broken through the flash memory technology, and he was immediately worried that Zuo Zhen's previous plan would be affected.

"Don't worry about the image quality. Since I have made the decision to promote the game, the image quality will not be bad. The flash memory chip should be basically broken."
