Chapter 202 Everyone’s Surprise
The familiar Oracle system screen soon appeared in front of everyone.
This interface is very familiar to everyone present.
Because the Oracle system was first developed by Oracle Labs, it is not hardware. There is a detailed introduction in the original information provided by Su Cheng. You only need to follow the steps to program it, so it It only took a short time for it to be born.
After all, the operating system is also a program created by programming, but it is different from ordinary software. It provides platform functions and encapsulates various underlying operations in a simpler way. Just provide it upwards.
At this time, everyone finally discovered the difference between this Oracle system and their Oracle system.
The interface script is the same, except that there are three more programs on the desktop.
Game platform, music player, reader?
Yang Chaoye took the lead and stepped forward, directly controlling the mouse to open the game program.
What appears in front of everyone is a very simple picture frame. In the picture frame, there are three games: "Super Mario", "Chinese Cube" and "Snake".
"I have played "Snake", which was launched by the Gremlin game platform two years ago and is very popular in European and American arcades." At this time, a young foreign engineer couldn't help but say.
Obviously, the young engineer is a gaming fan.
Since the birth of arcade games, they have quickly become popular in Europe and the United States, so it is normal that he likes to play games.
As he said, "Snake" has actually been born. In 1976, a classic arcade game Blockade, also known as "Snake", was launched on the Gremlin platform.
The player uses the direction keys to control a long snake to continuously swallow beans. At the same time, the snake's body continues to grow longer with the swallowed beans. The game ends when the snake's head hits the snake's body or a barrier.
Although this game has already been born, its initial version was just a pixel version. Oracle's version is already a classic version from the 1980s and 1990s.
After listening to the young engineer's words, Yang Chaoye opened the "Snake" software without saying anything.
"Hey, the interface is different and looks better. Mr. Yang, can you play a game for me?" the young engineer couldn't help but said.
"Okay, come on!" Yang Chaoye nodded and said.
The young engineer stepped forward, read the game instructions, clicked Start with the mouse, and then used the up, down, left, and right keys on the keyboard to control the game.
On the interface where the software starts, players have been thoughtfully reminded that the direction of the game is controlled by the up, down, left and right keys. Clicking the "Lightning" button in the lower right corner of the screen can increase the snake's movement speed.
From his skilled movements, it is obvious that he is very familiar with the rules of the game. He has played the pixel version of "Snake" many times because the rules are the same.
Everyone watched him play with great interest. Some people were even thinking about playing it themselves.
After about 5 minutes, as the greedy snake got longer and longer, it finally accidentally hit the wall, so the game ended.
"The rules are the same as the "Snake" game I played, but this one is more fun because the graphics are better." Putting down the mouse, the young engineer commented.
"Xiao Ai, has this "Snake" already appeared?" Su Cheng couldn't help but ask Xiao Ai in his mind.
“Yes, master. “Snake” was released by the game company Gremlin in 1976. The reason why I transplanted it is because this game is very suitable for promotion. The master only needs to buy the game copyright. Come here, there will be no problem. The other two games "Super Mario" and "Chinese Cube" have not been released yet, so please feel free to use them." Xiao Ai quickly gave the answer. Yang Chaoye did not continue to open the other two games, but exited the interface and focused on the music.
Opening the music player, a very crude player for Su City appeared in front of everyone.
Yang Chaoye looked at several songs on the playlist and finally chose to click on "Canon". Suddenly, a piece of familiar light music sounded in everyone's ears.
The warm and sad melody makes everyone immersed in sadness. Listening to this music, there is always an indescribable sadness in my heart.
The music paused and everyone applauded. More than a hundred people applauded in unison, and the applause was like thunder.
"Boss, where did you get these from? This is definitely a major reform of computers. I have been working in the industry for decades. It can be said that I have watched computers evolve step by step from scratch. , but this is definitely the biggest revolution in computers." Yang Chaoye couldn't calm down at this time. After the applause finally stopped, he couldn't help but ask.
After graduating from college, he joined IBM, and IBM can be said to be one of the first companies to participate in the development of computers.
Even after the Oracle computer was born, he was not that surprised, because it was still more suitable for people who knew computers.
But now, when these functions are added to the computer, the meaning is completely different.
Turning computers into entertainment can make an ordinary person who doesn't understand programming at all become interested in computers.
What does this mean? It shows that if Oracle computers add these functions, the potential customers for them will be wider!
“I suddenly want to own a computer like this, Mr. Yang, will the company have an internal price after it is released?”
“I want one too, it’s so cool! ”
"After seeing this computer, I feel that arcade game rooms are no longer good."
"I really want to have a computer like this so that I can play games every day after get off work."
"The most important thing is that it can actually listen to music and read books."
"I feel that technology seems to have advanced for decades all at once. This should be a scene only in the future world, right? ”
……
At this time, discussions continued in the laboratory.
It can be seen that simply adding three pieces of software has greatly increased everyone's desire to own it.
“In fact, when I had Oracle computer technical information, I was thinking that it would be better to add these entertainment functions to the computer. I happened to know a very powerful IT engineer. Why did I To move a semi-finished Oracle computer back, I paid him to help me develop the program for these functions. Now the development is finally successful. It just so happens that you have also produced the finished computer. This can be said to be God's will. !" Su Cheng gave a random reason.
"I know all the top IT engineers in this world. Can the boss reveal who he is? Can he join our Oracle Computer Company?" Yang Chaoye couldn't help but ask.
Is there really such a powerful engineer in this world?
"Sorry, I invited him, but unfortunately he refused, and he didn't want his name to be revealed." Su Cheng said with a wry smile.
