my return 2002

Chapter 263 Meizu M6
Although the lawsuit was lost, [Dungeon and Warriors] has gained a certain reputation in China. Many players know that there is such a game of the same type as [Ghost Blowing Lantern].

After seeing the popularity of [Ghost Blowing Lantern], Shanda also poured a lot of resources into [Dungeon and Warriors]. 17173 spared no effort in publicity, hung a large poster on the homepage, opened a game zone at the same time, and distributed A large number of game gift packs attract users.

In addition, the three major portal websites also had large advertisements for "Dungeon and Warriors", which comforted Xu Min a little.

After the lawsuit was over, Xu Minzai did not return to South Korea, but stayed in Shanda. He wanted to see [Dungeon and Warriors] defeat [Ghost Blowing Lantern] with his own eyes and complete his revenge.

What Xu Min did not win in court, Xu Min wanted to win back from the commercial battlefield.

Xu Minzai is very confident about this. He firmly believes that the quality of [Dungeon and Warriors] is higher than that of [Ghost Blowing Lantern]. As long as domestic players have played the "genuine version", they will definitely abandon the "pirated version".

It was still ten o'clock in the morning, and [Dungeon and Warriors] officially started the closed beta.

Thirty groups of servers turned from green to red in just 10 minutes, which made Xu Min very excited. You must know that [Dungeon and Fighter] only opened ten groups of servers in South Korea, and the status of the servers is basically yellow. There is a full situation.

"Sure enough, there are still a lot of Chinese players!" Xu Min was drooling.

Tan Qunzhao was also very satisfied with this situation. With a big wave of his hand, he directly added 20 sets of servers to [Dungeon and Warriors]. If these servers are full again, the number of simultaneous online games will exceed [-]. This has already reached the peak. standard for this game.

Just when Tan Qunzhao and Xu Min were full of ambitions, a scene that surprised them appeared. In just half an hour, the number of servers began to drop sharply.

Some servers have changed from red status to yellow status.

"What's going on?" Xu Min cried out in shock.

Tan Qunzhao also frowned, and opened the game forum without saying a word.

In the game forum they found the reason.

"This is the game that sues [Ghost Blowing Lantern] for plagiarism? The game is made like this, and it's too embarrassing to call it plagiarism? Except for the horizontal version of the action, how is it the same?"

"I thought this game would be more fun than [Ghost Blowing Lantern], but it turned out that there is no harm if there is no comparison. Just this feel, this picture, don't be ridiculous. I really can't give too much hope to the Korean kimchi game."

"A few days ago, I only knew about this game after seeing a lawsuit. I thought it would be fun, but it turned out like this? Did the art of this game come from the last century? And the job balance is so poor, I'm sorry Say you are a competitive game?"

Tan Qunzhao's face turned dark immediately. Although Xu Minzai couldn't read Chinese, he could tell from Tan Qunzhao's face that something was wrong.

In fact, this is Shanda's strategic issue. They hyped up the lawsuit between [Dungeon and Warriors] and [Ghost Blowing Lantern], which indeed brought a lot of attention to this game, and indeed attracted many [Ghost Blowing Lantern] players to experience this game. games.

However, in this way, players will also unconsciously compare the two games. They are not afraid of not knowing the goods, but they are afraid of comparing goods. At this time, Neople is just a small company, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a small workshop. The product of a small workshop cannot stand the scrutiny of the details at all.

We must know that when Penguin acted as an agent for [Dungeon and Fighter] in 2008, [Dungeon and Fighter] had been in operation for four years. The game team continued to accumulate experience, repair and update, and gradually became popular in the Korean market.

But even such [Dungeon and Fighter] still has many problems. If it wasn’t for Penguin’s unremitting suggestions for amendments, and at the same time spending a lot of resources to promote [Dungeon and Fighter], the national server would have died a long time ago.

If Penguin introduced [Dungeon and Warriors], it would definitely not choose to go head-to-head with [Ghost Blowing Lantern], but to promote it in a small area first, and then choose to attack the strength of [Ghost Blowing Lantern] after the game has a certain number of stable users status.

I have to admit that although Penguin doesn't know how to make games, Penguin really understands users.

But Shanda does not have such ability, or Shanda does not have enough patience to develop a game. From Shanda's point of view, the game that spends a lot of money to represent is to make money. As for the life of the game?That's not what they care about, Shanda has so many games, and it's fine to introduce the next one after this game is cold.

What's more interesting is that after a lot of players went to [Dungeon and Warriors] for a stroll, they found that [Ghost Blowing Lantern] smelled really good, and immediately ran back, and they didn't forget to post it on the [Ghost Blowing Lantern] game forum. A post about how bad Dungeon & Fighter is.

These posts also attracted some [Ghost Blowing Lantern] players to experience [Dungeon and Warriors], so a phenomenon appeared, the server on [Dungeon and Warriors] began to be like a chameleon, suddenly changing from full red to Crowded yellow, jumping repeatedly.

This made Tan Qunzhao and Xu Minzai's hearts tremble. If the data hadn't shown that the login IPs of these players were fine, they would even have wondered if Shen Lang had sent someone to smash the scene.

Soon the first day of the closed beta ended like this. Tan Qunzhao didn’t know whether to be happy or worried with the background data. The game data showed that there were more than 180 million registered players. For a closed beta game, this data can definitely be exploded. To describe it, but the retention rate of the game is ridiculously low, only less than 5%.

Moreover, this is only the first day of retention.

Although Xu Minzai is not very satisfied with the retention rate, seeing that with a retention rate of only 5%, he can have more than [-] users, which also gave him a new understanding of the Chinese game market.

"Mr. Tan, please rest assured, I will immediately ask the game team to fix these problems reported by the players."

Tan Qunzhao just said lightly: "Then President Xu has worked hard."

Here Xu Min returned home in a hurry, and Chen Tianqiao was already angry in the office.

"What can we change with this retention rate? It's a waste of our resources!"

Tan Qunzhao was a little embarrassed, "Dungeon and Warriors" was a project he brought back, and he was about to take the initiative to take responsibility, but Chen Tianqiao had already changed the topic.

"Old Tan, the sales of Shanda Box are not good now, we have to go another way."

Tan Qunzhao was overjoyed when he heard the words, and thought that Chen Tianqiao had turned around.

However, Chen Tianqiao's next sentence knocked him back to the bottom of the valley.

"Old Tan, look, this is our new product."

Tan Qunzhao's eyes almost went dark, this one still doesn't give up!

Chen Tianqiao didn't notice Tan Qunzhao's face, he still introduced his products on his own, and those who didn't know thought he was a salesman.

"I call this thing Shanda Yibao. On the surface, it is a remote control. In fact, it can be directly connected to a computer, allowing users to abandon the cumbersome operations of mouse and keyboard. It only needs to be completed on our remote control. For all Internet needs, you see, for example, when we watch a video on the computer and need to fast forward, we can only use the arrow keys on the keyboard to fast forward or rewind, but with our remote control, there is no need to use the handle Just put it on the keyboard and press the remote control directly.”

"And look at the joystick above, we can even use it to play games, the most important thing is, the price of this product is very cheap, only 50 yuan!"

Chen Tianqiao became more and more excited as he talked, but Tan Qunzhao became more and more cold. Chen Tianqiao saw that turning the TV into a computer would fail, and he wanted to turn the computer into a TV!

While Chen Tianqiao was tinkering with the remote control, Shen Lang also came to the Pearl River.

After a year of research and development investment, the first batch of Meizu M6 engineering machines were finally released.

Huang Zhang enthusiastically welcomed Shen Lang into the office, and impatiently took out an engineering prototype and handed it to Shen Lang.

"Mr. Shen, this is our latest Meizu M6."

Shen Lang took it and held it in his hand to shake the weight, feeling quite satisfied, and then tried the feel in his hand, it was very good, easier to hold than a tablet, and it was not so heavy in the hand.

In Shen Lang's opinion, the 5-inch screen is a bit small, similar to the screens of later generations of mobile phones, but at this time, it is definitely a super-large screen. You must know that the mainstream Nokia and Samsung are still using 2.4-inch screens.

Meizu is also quite good in terms of workmanship. The texture of the buttons and the polishing of the edges are very good.

Of course, what really made Shen Lang impatient was the system, and with excitement, he pressed the power button.

The Meizu M6 in his hand vibrated for a moment, and then a blue sea appeared on the screen, followed by the icon of Meizu, with two Chinese characters "star" appearing below the icon, which is also the name of the mobile terminal system.

In Shen Lang's opinion, the booting speed of the system was a bit slow, but it was acceptable. After all, the hardware in 2006 was not comparable to that of later generations.

Upon seeing this, He Xiaopeng specifically explained: "We can optimize the boot speed in the future, and try to achieve it within 20 seconds before the official release."

Shen Lang nodded, but kept his eyes on the screen. Finally, the system was loaded.

The application icons are neatly arranged on the screen.

360 Security Guard, 360 Browser, Xingchen Chinese Website, YY, Duowan Community, 360 Video, 360 Payment.

In addition, there are settings, photo albums, and multimedia functions on the desktop.

Shen Lang used the left and right keys to freeze the cursor on 360 Security Guard, and the interface of 360 Security Guard appeared on the screen. Compared with the interface of the computer, this mobile terminal 360 is relatively simple, with only three functions, one is to clean up virtual Memory, one is to scan and kill viruses, and the other is to clean up files left by the software.

Shen Lang tried them one by one, and found that apart from the fact that the cleaning speed was not as fast as that of a smartphone, other aspects were done well, and the UI performance was also remarkable.

Afterwards, Shen Lang clicked on the 360 ​​browser again, and found that it was very different from the computer version of the browser. The interface just met the size of the screen, and there was no such thing as directly copying the 360 ​​browser to the mobile terminal. It has been retained, but in order to match the screen size, there are only three websites that can appear on the navigation homepage.

Shen Lang tried to switch the cursor with the arrow keys, and it was very smooth, so he clicked on a web page, and the opening speed was a bit slow, but it was normal, after all, the speed of opening the web page on the computer at this time may not be so fast, let alone using the 2G mobile network.

Shen Lang found with some regret that the experience of opening the webpage on the computer side with the mobile terminal is not good, the font is still too small, and since it is not a touch screen, there is no function to enlarge the font by stretching it with gestures.

Seeing this, He Xiaopeng said hastily: "Mr. Shen, press the little button above the volume button."

It was only then that Shen Lang discovered that there were really two small buttons above the volume buttons, and he pressed the buttons above, and sure enough, the font became larger, to be precise, the interface was zoomed.

"This function is good, very practical." Shen Lang said pleasantly.

He Xiaopeng and Huang Zhang looked at each other and smiled, He Xiaopeng explained.

"Actually, from the very beginning, we have had a headache how to let users have the same experience as using a computer when using this product. We have made a lot of system improvements, but there is no way to achieve it. Later, Mr. Huang reminded us why we didn't directly Add two buttons, since the software can’t realize it, it can be realized on the hardware.”

Shen Lang praised: "This idea is great, I believe users will like it."

Next, Shen Lang tried the apps of Xingchen Chinese Website and YY, and they felt pretty good. The only troublesome thing was that he could only use the direction buttons to move the cursor, which was not as convenient as a touch screen.

Shen Lang turned on the audio and video playback again, the sound quality can only be said to be quite satisfactory, and the expressiveness of the picture can only be said to be average.

But there is no way, the hardware conditions are limited, coupled with the consideration of cost control, it is impossible to stack materials without deadline.

After about two hours, the battery bottomed out. Shen Lang frowned slightly, not satisfied with the battery life.

Huang Zhang said with a wry smile: "This engineering machine has already integrated a 1200mAh battery, and the cost of a battery is more than 100. If it is higher, it needs to be customized by a battery manufacturer, and the cost is unaffordable."

Shen Lang also sighed, hardware is always the biggest obstacle to check and balance the development of science and technology, but it happens to be the most basic existence, any development of science and technology must be attached to hardware.

"We can't change the battery capacity, can we optimize the charging speed?" Shen Lang suddenly thought of a solution.

The battery charging technology in this period is still in the USB1.0 version, and many mobile phone manufacturers are not very concerned about the charging technology. Some domestic mobile phone manufacturers will even send a spare battery directly when selling mobile phones.

Therefore, the fast charging solution has not been taken seriously, but technically, the threshold for fast charging is not too high. If it can be done, it will be a very important technical reserve.
