one morning in the spring of 1993, in an ordinary house in tokyo, a lamp in the attic had not been extinguished for a long time
and in this attic, there is a person sitting in front of a lamp assembling some kind of electronic device.
around him, there were scattered piles of various circuit elements, and some of the octopus ball packaging boxes were piled up in a messy pile.
in the dark of the room, there was a girl sleeping with her hands on a pillow, and judging from the dark eye bags in the corners of her eyes, it was obvious that this girl had stayed up late for a long time.
those who continue to sit in front of the lamp and work hard continue to assemble electronic components as if tirelessly.
the soldering pen next to it is still steaming with light heat, and from time to time this person will pick up the soldering pen and add various strange circuit components to the circuit board.
finally, when the bell rang at six o'clock, the man in front of the lamp let out a long exhale.
"it's finally done!"
the man in front of the lamp made a voice of excitement that could not be concealed.
the girl behind him was slightly awakened by the sound, and she rubbed her eyes and got up to look at the man in the direction of the lamp.
"takeyu sang, is it finally done?"
takeyuki's body in front of the lamp shook slightly, and then he turned around with the slightly ugly-looking circuit board in his hand.
he shook the rough circuit board in his hand like a show off and said, "yes, it's done!" the world's first home game console was born! "
girls can't understand any home game console.
but she understood one thing.
the work is finally over!
she felt that she should not accept the job, because it was simply not done by anyone!
about four weeks ago, airi hayazawa had just graduated from college.
just after graduation, she was reluctant to follow her parents' arrangements and find a man to marry as a housewife.
she wants to have a life of her own.
it's just that reality is incredibly shocking.
in this era of economic depression, jobs are becoming more and more difficult to find, especially for a female college student like her who has just graduated, and the future is even more uncertain.
most importantly, her head was hot at the beginning, and she studied electrical and electronic engineering in college.
it is even more conceivable that such a professional girl wants to find a job in a place like tokyo.
as far as she knew, all of her female classmates in this major had just graduated and all went to get married, and it seemed that women majoring in electrical engineering were only suitable for the 'job' of getting married as a housewife after graduation.
no company would ever want a female electrical and electronic engineer.
it was also at this time that takeyuki appeared in front of him.
it's the guy who's been making consoles.
she still remembers the scene that day.
the man stood smiling in front of himself who had just failed the interview.
then the first thing he said was, "want to change the world?" "
this sentence is not important, but the next sentence is very important.
"the daily salary is 10,000 yen, and the day ends."
this is extremely tempting for girls who have not been able to find a job.
of course, she was also wary of whether this man was doing something illegal.
but when she carefully follows takeyuki to his house, he discovers that the other party just wants to help him build a strange device.
a device that can connect a tv and then control a machine through two odd-looking things.
now, after four weeks of working day and night, she and takeyuki have finally made up what takeyuki conceived.
now what takeyuki is holding in his hands is the result of their four weeks of hard work.
looking at the circuit board that didn't look very beautiful at first glance, hayazawa ai li wanted to complain, what kind of strange thing is this?
fortunately, when i was in school, i didn't waste my studies, at least such things can still be barely helped to make.
takeyuki seemed very excited.
he excitedly grabbed the finished circuit board and ran toward the tv.
even if he inadvertently stepped on a lot of electronic components that could make people's feet hurt, he didn't care at all.
coming to the tv, takeyuki began to skillfully pick up a video cable and insert it into the tv set and the bare circuit board socket.
hayazawa's aritsuki was no longer a little sleepy.
even though she wanted to sleep now, she wanted to see how much fun this four-week-long thing was.
for four weeks, in addition to making this thing with takeyuki, hayazawa ari was often interesting to hear takeyusho introduce this thing.
"this console can bring new and interesting things to the world, and of course, it can also bring a huge market."
"game consoles will also become an indispensable form of entertainment for human beings in the future, and both men, women and children will love video games."
hayazawa ari had no idea about this, but since takeyuki described it this way, she would have a little bit of expectation.
"okay, let's officially welcome home consoles to this world."
at this moment, zhu youxing gently closed his eyes, as if he was doing some kind of ritual, and his expression became as if he had sublimated.
this guy actually looks pretty good.
hayazawa was thinking so at the moment.
drip.
on that somewhat ugly circuit board, a red light representing booting up came on.
at the same time, the tv screen is also lit up at this moment.
hayazawa ari also got closer because of curiosity.
from the perspective of zhu youxing, the music sound that he was once incomparably familiar with slowly sounded.
lights and lanterns ~ wait for lights ~ climb!
it was an unforgettable memory of a beautiful moment in his memory.
super mario bros.
Several English words that Zhu Youxing is incomparably familiar with are presented on TV.
"oh well i remember this, it's something you got out of your computer." hayazawa's eyes widened slightly as he pointed to the television footage.
immediately after that, she saw takeyuki pick up what he named a gamepad and start manipulating the graphics on the tv.
on television, a plumber with a large nose and somewhat chubby stature in suspender pants jumps in the frame as he maneuvers with takeyuki.
the height of this jump is like a rabbit.
hayazawa blinked.
if she understood modern buzzwords, she would say something like this:
that's it?
a device that remotely controls a character in a tv screen via a device?
what's so fun about this stuff?
hayazawa ari couldn't imagine it at all.
video game.
this is something completely foreign to the world.
however, for takeyuki, it is not unfamiliar.
because of the world before they crossed over, video games have long been one of the most important forms of entertainment for people in that world.
takeyuki is a crosser.
he is a chinese from 2020.
in the days before he crossed over, he was running around in search of work during the hot summer months.
the only consolation he brings home every day when he can't find a job is these video games.
and that day he was suddenly unconscious on the road.
when he wakes up, he travels to tokyo in the 1990s, and he has a new identity, an unemployed rich second generation named takeyuki.
