Chapter 161 : Sega's Visit
"Development will temporarily proceed according to the original plan."
Hideki Sato offered a word of reassurance, frowned as he took another couple of glances at the materials, and then turned to leave.
"I will have a good talk with the President."
...
Sega Headquarters.
W e̊ b̀ nо̇.v̊ êl̃ Еǹ u̇ mа̄
Hayao Nakayama quietly listened to Hideki Sato's words, looking at the astonishing specs in the magazine.
"Hideki, what do you think?"

His voice betrayed no emotion; he was simply asking for the opinion of this deputy he particularly favored, just as usual.
Hideki's abilities were absolutely worthy of recognition.
Ever since Sega's first-generation SG-1000, he had been working diligently in the hardware department.
To exaggerate a bit, he could even be called the 'Father of Sega Hardware'.
Е̌n̄ üm̀а̄. іd
It was just that the current Hideki was still a bit green and lacked sufficient experience.
Hayao Nakayama's gaze fell on Hideki Sato, his eyes swirling with a peculiar color.
Shoichiro Irimajiri was much more mature than Sato, and he came from a proper administrative background, unlike Sato, a technical officer who worked his way up from the grassroots of the hardware department.
As to who was more suitable to be the successor, Hayao Nakayama truly couldn't make up his mind.

"President, in my opinion, those flashy new features are no big deal."
"How so?" Hayao Nakayama's tone was gentle, signaling Sato to elaborate.

"No matter how extravagantly they boast, the NX is still a game console at the end of the day. Games are the fundamental deciding factor."
"What truly makes my blood run cold is this."
Sato reached out and tapped the 'RAM' column on the spec list.
"256KB of RAM and an equal 256KB of VRAM!"
You have to know that the Sega Mega Drive they were currently developing at full throttle only had a 64+64 configuration.
Larger RAM and VRAM meant a massive increase in the number of on-screen sprites and real-time data.

Which also meant much richer game content.
Even in the 8-bit era, GAMENOVA's development capabilities could only make people sigh in despair.
Now they had a perfect new body.
To what extent could that new work called *Civilization* reach...
Just thinking about it was chilling.
Hayao Nakayama was silent for a moment and nodded slightly.

"A CD-ROM drive and hundreds of KB of memory..."
Daring to stack hardware on a game console to the standards of a productivity tool, while still keeping the price at just over three hundred.

Hayao Nakayama saw it very clearly.
This wasn't just because of GAMENOVA's strategy of selling hardware at a loss, but also the role of Micron.
Ever since Japanese manufacturers heavily dumped DRAM into the US, Micron and a host of other domestic manufacturers suffered severe damage, with massive amounts of memory chips stockpiled in warehouses unable to be sold.
Or rather, losing money on every chip sold.

And GAMENOVA's appearance happened to plug this hole.
While taking over Micron's entire production capacity, they actually provided a technological blood transfusion to Micron.
A game company with its own wafer fab...
Their cost control would reach a level that even their biggest arch-rival Nintendo couldn't achieve.

Perhaps only NEC, which was developing that quasi-16-bit console called 'PC-Engine', had this kind of capability.
"Prepare the procedures and the flight. I am going to personally visit President Lin."

...
"Isn't Mr. Lincoln's trait of plantations reducing loyalty a bit too dark humored?"
GAMENOVA headquarters, the development department team was gathered in the conference room brainstorming.
Now that the game's framework was completely finished, all that was left was to massively fill in the content.
And leaders and civilizations were the core topics of this brainstorming session.
Will's mouth twitched, simply not knowing how to roast this proposal Lin Lixin had just brought up.

"It's surprisingly reasonable... but what the hell is Gandhi's effect of increasing the production speed of atomic bombs!"
"Ahem, just a joke. The Mahatma's effect is of course related to Religion Victory."
Lin Lixin chuckled. Mentioning Gandhi, it was truly hard for him not to associate him with nuclear bombs.
Sid shook his head helplessly. After spending so much time together, he had long grown accustomed to the unique development atmosphere here.
"Kojima's idea is a bit more reliable. Hojo... Hojo what was it? Sorry, I don't know much about this area."
"Hojo Tokimune, a shogun during the Kamakura shogunate period."
Е n ù mä .іd
Lin Lixin raised an eyebrow, very surprised by the idea Kojima proposed.
"Why not more well-known figures like Oda Nobunaga or Tokugawa Ieyasu?"

"I think choosing a famous Sengoku daimyo like Oda Nobunaga would make this work stereotyped. What we want is to present players with something more interesting."
Hojo Tokimune was the founder of Bushido culture, and there was also the legend of him successfully resisting the Mongol Empire's invasion relying on the typhoons known as 'Kamikaze'.
Revolving around these contents, it seemed very easy to construct a very interesting character.
Lin Lixin nodded, then took out the next card.

"Then the next civilization, the Ancient Kingdom of Babylon..."
"Hammurabi."
There was no need to wait for him to finish at all; everyone gave the same answer in unison.
It seemed there was absolutely no disagreement on this point.

"Alright, then the next..."
"Lin, we have a visitor."

Sam suddenly pushed the door open and walked into the conference room.
Lin Lixin nodded slightly, indicating he understood. After giving a few brief instructions, he quickly left the conference room.
If it wasn't someone worth seeing, Sam would have blocked them outside himself.
...
"President Lin, we finally meet."
Lin Lixin pushed open the door to the reception room and saw that middle-aged man who was getting on in years but had very clear eyes.

A hint of confusion flashed in his eyes, but he immediately guessed what was going on.
The shockwaves brought by the NovaXeno were still expanding.
"You are... President Hayao Nakayama, right?"
Lin Lixin recognized who the visitor was at a glance.
A ruthless man worthy of admiration, a never-say-die president who spent his whole life fighting against Nintendo.
A person who, even as he aged, still constantly thought about video games.
Ên u̇ m̆ а̌ . і̊ d
Sega's most golden 1980s were all created by this president.
And for him to appear in front of him now was absolutely inextricably linked to the NovaXeno.

"I wonder what brings President Hayao Nakayama from so far away?"
"President Lin."
Hayao Nakayama took the initiative to reach out his hand and shook hands with Lin Lixin, showing his goodwill.
"The NovaXeno is a great machine. I can see GAMENOVA's unreserved pursuit of the 16-bit era."

His accent was a bit heavy, but since Lin Lixin was already proficient in multiple languages, there was no barrier to understanding him.
"I heard SEGA is also developing its own 16-bit console? It seems we got a step ahead."
"Yes... GAMENOVA's R&D capabilities are truly... enviable."
Hayao Nakayama made no secret of his envy.

If they could have this kind of strength, they could rub Nintendo's face in the dirt.
He paused, making eye contact with Lin Lixin, before finally speaking of the true purpose of his trip:

"President Lin, I hope to sign a supply agreement with GAMENOVA, or rather with Micron, to use your memory chips to equip our company's next-generation console."
