Reborn in another world as a game

Chapter 167 32-bit Processor, Thunder LT-SS
There will be milk and bread, don't worry.

Well……

Tian Moyun just thought about the above sentence, but didn't dare to say it.

On the surface, he still cheerfully apologized quickly: "I'm really sorry, but please rest assured, the 32-bit chip is already under development."

"Through market feedback, we have optimized and thought based on the first-generation chip [Thunder LT-S]. The 32-bit chip is bound to be more perfect and powerful."

"and--"

"[Thunder Games] is developing well, which gives us more funds to do research and development, which is also a good thing."

"Leader, don't worry, I can guarantee that before August this year, you will be able to see domestic chips that are not inferior to [TM2399]."

This is a military order.

"That's what you said."

The leader's tone softened a lot: "I'm also worried that you'll be chasing the end."

"If you want to make money, then go all out to develop chips and win the nationwide market for popular home computers."

"At that time, earning a net profit of tens of billions a year is much better than messing around in the game industry."

"You also said that the future is an era of technology supremacy. What are video games? That's just a natural product of following the trend in the development of technology."

"You have done a good job in scientific research, so what about the future of video games is not up to you?"

Tian Moyun quickly agreed, saying that the leader is right.

Finally hung up the phone, and called Su Hanlin and Li Tenglong to inquire about the situation. After learning that everything was going well, they happily went to [Thunder Research Center].

……

Why did Tian Moyun dare to issue a military order?
Because the 32-bit chip has been developed, it is still in the debugging stage.

With the bug-like existence of Tian Moyun, the development of the chip was surprisingly smooth, and almost never hit a wall.

As for the debugging work after the research and development... That's not what Tian Moyun likes to participate in, it needs a lot of testing time.

Visual inspection——

Packaging and mass production will be completed by the end of June at the latest.

"Boss, please give the second-generation chip a name."

The engineer came over and said respectfully: "In the entire chip research and development work, you are the first to contribute, and this kind of thing should be done by you."

"Ha ha……"

Tian Moyun smiled dryly.

These people all think that he is very wise and wise, but Tian Moyun knows in his heart that the reason why he is so "wise and wise" is not a "cheat sheet" given by the system?
If he copied the answer and copied it wrong, then he wouldn't be fooled.

"The second-generation chip, that's called—"

"[Thunder LT-SS]"

One S, one SS, very good, it sounds like an upgraded version.

It's just that several major engineers are secretly poking complaints in their hearts:

"The second-generation chip is called SS, should the third-generation be called SSS? The fourth-generation SSSS, the fifth-generation SSSSS?"

"This naming method is not wise at all."

……

Tian Moyun didn't bother to care about the thoughts of these engineers.

After telling them some suggestions according to the "cheat sheet", under the admiration of everyone, they walked to another research and development site.

The things developed here are what Tian Moyun really values, and only now can he have a chance.

That is--

operating system!

Many people may think that chips belong to hardware research and development, which is more difficult than software development such as operating systems.

This kind of thinking logic is actually correct, but——

From a market point of view, in fact, popularizing operating systems is far more difficult than developing chips.

Or... neither is easy.

……

"The current computer operating systems are all made by an overseas technology company. They use a disk operating system. The operation is very cumbersome and requires complex instructions to be used. It is also very easy to freeze and is not user-friendly."

Tian Moyun said lightly: "The virtual operating system we use is a virtual operating system that does not need to input any commands. It is simple and straightforward, and it can be called a fool's operation. It means that even an ordinary person who has never touched a computer can also use Quickly learn the basics in a very short period of time."

He knew very well——

The computer education in Great Xia Kingdom is actually very backward.

More than 90% of college entrance examination candidates will not actually choose the computer industry.

It is only because of some media's deliberate reports that the computer industry is the future trend and a high-paying profession, so many people apply for the exam.

But the wishes of the child must always be consistent with the wishes of the parents.

In the eyes of the older generation of parents, the computer industry is too impractical.

Can you make money by sitting in the office and typing on the keyboard?
So what if you lose your job?
Why not learn agriculture, at least you can be a landlord.

This is common logic of thinking.

……

In such an environment, the Western bias towards the original "disk operating system" is extremely unfriendly to everyone, the threshold is very high, and the efficiency is very low.

It’s no problem to quickly promote computers——

As long as the Daxia government gives a lot of policy support, it will be very easy to promote and popularize.

But what about after popularization?

That kind of operation method is completely unsuitable for the people of Daxia. If you want to promote the technological development of Daxia, you don't know that it will take years of monkeys.

In order to lower the threshold and rapidly popularize computer office——

It is imperative to develop a system that is easy to operate.

……

"The system is temporarily divided into two versions, 16-bit and 32-bit, corresponding to our two chips."

Tian Moyun said lightly: "Adapt to 16-bit as soon as possible, and then do 32-bit, at the latest in mid-July, I hope to get a satisfactory research and development result."

"Why develop a 16-bit system?"

The engineer expressed his incomprehension: "In the future, 32-bit should be the mainstream, right?"

"It's true that 32-bit is the mainstream, but it's not impossible to use 16-bit."

Tian Moyun shrugged: "You have to consider the economic level of the Great Xia Kingdom. I can keep the cost of a 16-bit computer down to a very low level, which is convenient for us to promote the new operating system. When the economy improves, we can directly evolve from 16-bit to 64-bit. bit, and in this way, our operating system is completely complete."

The difficulty of the operating system——

The most critical part lies in the software aspect.

No matter how perfect and easy to use a system is, it is useless if it does not have enough application software.

Users buy computers for learning, office work, and entertainment, not for looking at a beautiful system.

Then the question comes-

How to make software vendors willing to develop software for the system?

There is only one way, and that is extremely high installed capacity.

As long as the system's installed capacity and market share are high, those software vendors will take the initiative to develop games and make profits from it.

……

Tian Moyun remembered it clearly.

In the previous life on Earth, there used to be a legendary mobile phone system called Windows, but it died later.

Whether the Windows mobile phone system is easy to use is another matter for the time being.

In other words, the system had the biggest problems at that time, and there were probably only two points.

First, there is not enough software, not even a tenth of the mainstream software.

Second, the software cannot be updated in time. Other systems have been updated in several versions, but here it is still the same.

What are the reasons for these two problems?
To put it bluntly, the market share is too small, and developers are unwilling to do software adaptation for such a 1% market share.

The death of chips lies in the backwardness of generations.

The death of the system is that there are too few users.

……

It is also clear about these two points.

Therefore, Tian Moyun deliberately made an ultra-cheap 16-bit computer at this time.

Hardware does not make money, and spare no effort to promote the new operating system.

Only in this way--

When people change computers, they will naturally replace computers with similar systems.

In this way, the system becomes.
