Chapter 240 Ninth Update

In the outside world, NGS has begun a new round of publicity offensive.

In terms of publicity, the two sides can be described as a crazy fight that puts aside each other's face.

First, Sega's advertising and promotion department directly moved out the NGS game console, and then smashed the NGS in a TV commercial, claiming that it was an outdated gadget and that only the Sega MD was the coolest new product. Technology Products.

And NGS is not to be outdone.

No matter how good your graphics are, do you have as many games as I do?

No matter how good your graphics are, do you still have Super Mario and Dragon Quest?

These are all good games, and now our game prices and game console prices are more than half cheaper than yours. We can keep costs down, but you Sega can't. You Sega are just looking at a useless vase.

At the same time, NGS also did not forget to criticize the game Three Kingdoms Overlord that Sega has recently been promoting wildly.

NGS gets to the point of the matter.

Your Three Kingdoms Overlords game has so much content, are you ready to dump large-capacity cartridges to make poor players who just like to have fun buy it?

Do you just want to make more players’ money? Don't you consider the players' feelings at all?

Moreover, while promoting the game, they are also promoting their own Sengoku war strategy game. It is expected that they will officially release the Sengoku war strategy game in two months, in order to compete head-on with Sega's Three Kingdoms Overlord game.

In short, both sides are unwilling to give in to each other in terms of suppressing each other.

In the land of the United States, many players have also seen the content of the quarrel between the two families.

And some players who have already booked games for both sides are now in a state of uncertainty.

The man who had played the Three Kingdoms Overlord game at United Department Store before saw NGS’s comments in the magazine and began to doubt that Sega’s Three Kingdoms Overlord would really sell for more than a hundred dollars, right?

That's really a bit expensive.

It's not that he can't afford it, he just thinks it's not worth it.

Usually thirty to fifty dollars for a game is the limit he can accept.

He still thought it was a bit expensive.

How dare this Sega?

So he couldn't help but run to the department store to get a refund.

The clerk in the game section of the department store is very calm. If you want a refund, go ahead. Anyway, the money can be refunded at any time. However, if you refund now, you will not be able to get it in advance if you want to buy the game again when it is released. oh.

The man hesitated a little after hearing these words.

Later, I felt that what the clerk said was right, so after some thought, I gave up on refunding for the time being.

However, there are still many people who have refunded their money. They all feel that Sega's games are too expensive.

They just buy games for fun, not for high consumption.

If games were so expensive, why waste time on consoles when they could just go to a strip bar and play once?

But while the outside world was being disturbed, the real game was very busy inside, and it didn't pay attention to every move of the outside world.

At this time, it is reflected that the Internet has not yet become popular.

At this time, it is difficult for most people in the country to even know some news from the outside world.

Not to mention that most of these people don't have time to pay attention at this time.

Just making the content of this game has already made them exhausted.

"Boss! It's done! In one month, I'm lucky to have fulfilled my mission!"

At this moment, I stayed in a separate office alone to research a hybrid programming compiler adapted to the Sega MD game console.

Of course, this is not all due to Xu Junwen alone.

He is only responsible for solving hardware architecture adaptation and compatibility issues, which Zuo Zhen is not good at.

The core of the matter of making compiler software was left to Zuo Zhen.

Thanks to his knowledge of this aspect in his previous life, and the blessing of the physical energy-increasing potion redeemed by the system, Zuo Zhen completed the general structure of the entire compiler independently in just one week, and he was still building on this foundation. Cooperated with Xu Junwen to carry out at least three major compatibility modifications.

Xu Junwen was stunned when he learned that Zuo Zhen had completed the compiler infrastructure in one week.

This is too efficient.

He had never heard of anyone in his life who could do it so fast.

Of course, he didn't know much about compilers before.

But this also caused a greater change in his attitude towards Zuo Zhen, the boss.

He no longer simply thinks that the boss is just a layman who knows a little bit about programming.

This is a professional thing.

His professionalism even exceeds that of many industry giants he is familiar with.

To be honest, it's a bit of a waste of talent for someone like him to just play games.

He can have a broader stage.

But Zuo Zhen is more self-aware of himself. Making a compiler is just a casual thing, and it is better to do it in his old profession.

Being involved in too many other fields can easily lead to oneself going astray and not being specialized enough.

Xu Junwen's initiative to come to Zuo Zhen is one of the good news in recent times.

Zuo Zhen immediately became energetic.

"Very well, let's go and find Pajitnov's team."

"I have already found them, they are using our compiler to modify the game program!"

When Zuo Zhen heard this, he immediately stood up and said, "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go and take a look!"

Zuo Zhen and Xu Junwen immediately came to Pajitnov's office room.

At this time, several members of Pajitnov's team had gathered on Sega MD's special engineering machine to optimize the game's program.

Through high-level language programming on the computer, the game's capacity was reduced from more than 3MB initially to less than 1MB.

And it's not over yet.

After cooperating with Yu Mengchen and Xie Qin's team, they also made major changes to the audio and animation special effects, and reduced some of the capacity resources required for art and sound effects.

The final effect is that the game capacity is compressed to less than 500KB.

"Boss, we did it! It's really like hell!"

Pajitnov stared blankly at the capacity data on the computer screen, feeling a little incredible for a moment.

He knew that high-level languages ​​could greatly shorten the size of a program.

But this also requires very advanced programming skills.

Zuo Zhen tried his best to do this.

In addition to using high-level language programming, there are also a variety of popular modular programming and a series of technologies.

These things are the experiences summed up by people of later generations.

It's incredible that Zuo Zhen took it out in advance, just like the technology of the new era.

Zuo Zhen also smiled at this time, but he quickly said with an attitude: "Don't be too happy first. This is only the capacity after advanced programming. We still have to translate it to see to what extent we can maintain the capacity."

"I see!"

Translated into assembly language suitable for processing by this Motorola chip, the estimated capacity will have to be increased again.

However, this round trip will definitely save more capacity than programming directly in assembly language.

Pajitnov and his group started busy with great enthusiasm.

Zuo Zhen said to Xu Junwen again: "By the way, let me call you Lao Xu. You still have something to do next, which is to optimize the compiler to make it easier to use. This is A good one.”

Xu Junwen also felt a long-lost enthusiasm. After hearing Zuo Zhen's words, he nodded and said, "I understand, leave it to me!"

Great, now that the biggest problem has been solved, the next step is for the game to be officially released, and it’s time to give the world a little bit of a real game shock.
