The transformation of the Zhonghua Learning Machine is not comprehensive. Wan Feng believes that only two areas need to be transformed.

One is to modify its compatibility function, that is, to expand a slot to run FC yellow game cartridges, and the other is to replace its 69-key keyboard with a 104-key standard keyboard, and then match it with a handle.

In this way, the Zhonghua Learning Machine becomes a learning machine that can also play games.

In order to conceal their tracks, they also developed a learning cassette containing typing exercises and various mini-games to familiarize themselves with computer operations.

Electronic products are the fastest-changing things in the world. Two years is enough for a complete transformation to take place.

The Zhonghua Learning Machine was launched in 1986. Some components that were very expensive at that time are now very cheap, so the cost of making a learning machine is now less than one-third of what it was originally.

If Qin Guanghui's electronics team can produce and launch the improved learning machine on the market by the end of this year, with a price tag between 400 and 500 yuan, it is bound to cause a stir.

From the late 1980s to the entire 1990s, people began to realize that the computer industry was an emerging industry, and there was a craze for learning computers.

But at that time, computers cost more than 10,000 yuan, which was definitely not affordable for ordinary families.

As a result, learning machines have a huge market.

Wanfeng positions the learning machine at a price between 400 and 500 yuan, which is affordable for an average family.

After listening to Wan Feng's plan, Qin Guanghui felt that it was very unreal. This boss's brain was really weird.

He had seen learning machines before, but had never thought of modifying them. He felt that their existence was reasonable, and what was reasonable was unquestionable.

But his theory simply doesn't work for Wan Feng.

Even if it is reasonable, he is willing to make some changes.

Many things in the Nanwan factory were made in this way, especially the machine tools from the Soviet Union. Compared with Chinese machine tools, they were already very advanced, but they were still modified beyond recognition.

To make the modification, one must understand the hardware structure of the learning machine, and this is where Gu Hongzhong comes in handy.

In just a few minutes, he disassembled a learning machine into parts and reported each part to Qin Guanghui, who was responsible for keeping records.

"CPU 650 2.8-bit microprocessor, 64K bytes of RAM, two chips; 9-pin joystick interface, 5.25 single-sided floppy drive interface, 0.25W 8Ω speaker; one [Apple] series 50-line expansion slot, 25W switching power supply."

Gu Hongzhong spoke like he knew everything, and Wan Feng was stunned.

This guy must have been a computer idiot a month ago, but now he can pronounce out such components quickly and accurately without referring to any textbooks!

This guy must have been reincarnated. He must have been a computer expert in his previous life.

Could it be that this guy was Bill Gates or Mahua Teng in his previous life?

Qin Guanghui came on the fifth or sixth day of the first lunar month, which is February twenty-second or twenty-third, and now it is April fifth.

In more than forty days, Gu Hongzhong had become someone who seemed to have studied computers for more than a year.

"Mr. Gu, it's been twenty days since I went south, and I feel like your computer knowledge has changed so much that I don't recognize you anymore."

"Ha! Mr. Wan! Don't say you don't know him, I'm almost scared silly by this guy. I used to absolutely not believe in geniuses. It's true that some people are smarter and some are dumber, and that's normal. But I really don't believe in the idea of ​​a top genius. If you insist, I think I am a genius, but after spending more than forty days with Engineer Gu, I know what a genius is. There really is a huge gap between people in this world. I dare say that in three months, I will probably ask Engineer Gu for help with computer problems. I'm not exaggerating at all."

After listening to Qin Guanghui's introduction, Wan Feng couldn't help but reach out and touch Gu Hongzhong's head.

"Mr. Gu, can I touch your head to see if there are any grooves?"

Gu Hongzhong was so embarrassed that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Boss Wan, if my head has grooves, then yours should have holes, and big holes at that."

Huh? I'm crazy? You're just scolding me, aren't you the one with the crazy idea?

"Boss Wan, I'm not really scolding you when I say you have a hole in your head. You've done things that are truly evil in our eyes. Maybe you haven't realized it yourself."

"Why did I become a demon?"

"Think about it, even though our Red Cliff is small, it still has 700,000 to 800,000 people. But have you ever seen anyone cause such a big scene like yours?"

"Isn't this normal? Rome wasn't built in a day, and fat people don't become fat in one bite. Isn't this something we have achieved step by step?"

"Haha, what you think is normal is not what we think is normal. Many of the things you do are incomprehensible to ordinary people. Even the provincial reporters think you are abnormal. The reporters found out about your generous reward to the workers and came to interview you. If it weren't for your uncle's strong suppression, you would probably be famous all over the country by now."

"Oh? Is that true?"

"Your uncle unified the factory's narrative, and then gave red envelopes to the reporters. Your tens of millions in bonuses were reduced to hundreds of thousands, and the impact of this incident didn't cause a stir."

Wan Feng scratched his head. He hadn't really thought about this question.

Have you been being a little too high-profile lately?

This person cannot be rich, because if he has money he will show off.

It seems that I need to be more restrained in the future and not get too cocky. After all, there are all kinds of people in this world. Being targeted by petty thieves is not a big deal, but being targeted by some powerful people with ulterior motives is troublesome.

After all these years of experience, my uncle has his own way of handling some things.

It will be necessary to set up my own team of lawyers in the future. I guess there will be a lot of messy lawsuits in the future, and I need a professional team to deal with these troubles.

But there is no rush for this for now, as the era when lawyers are everywhere is still a long way off.

"We have a supply of various computer chips and components. I've bought a batch for your research and use. If they're not enough, we have people selling them at the market. If you need them, just go pick them up and we'll just bill you."

Qin Guanghui immediately became excited: "What chips and components are there?"

Wan Feng quickly took out a list and handed it to Qin Guanghui in a domineering manner.

"Almost all chips are available on the market now. If they are not available, it is because they are simply unavailable."

Qin Guanghui took the list and read it from top to bottom, then said excitedly, "Great! With these components, I think we can experiment with some things in the future, and modifying this learning machine will be a piece of cake."

Back to the topic of game consoles, Wan Feng directly described the appearance and functions of the learning machine in his mind.

He set the general framework to prevent Qin Guanghui and his team from wasting time by taking detours.
