The hardware manufacturing department, which includes all the technical personnel of the computer hardware manufacturing company and all the members of other hardware implementation technologies of the head office, can be said to be the largest department of Feiyue Technology Company except for the Dick Huanyu Trade Department.

At present, there are a total of 246 hardware technicians, and the research field is not only limited to the hardware research and development design of each component of the computer, but also includes the tracking design of the monocrystalline silicon growth furnace, the research of monocrystalline silicon processing equipment and the design of small and micro network cards.

"Boss, there are a total of 351 R&D projects currently being carried out in our hardware manufacturing department, including 236 research and design projects of various components of the computer component, and a total of 21 projects carried out together with Professor Brady's monocrystalline silicon manufacturing laboratory, mainly the design and manufacture of industrial-grade monocrystalline silicon growth furnaces and the design and modification of key accessories required for the current laboratory-level accessories.

Due to the limited manpower of monocrystalline silicon processing equipment, only three project teams have been set up in the department to study the slicing, chamfering and grinding processes of silicon crystal rods.

As for the application-oriented small and micro network card, although we have set up a number of teams to conduct extensive research on it, but according to the results we have obtained so far, we cannot reasonably avoid the patented technology of other network equipment companies, among which the core patents designed are host interface circuit control, data exchange mechanism, data link controller, codec, network card internal transceiver, network card media connection and ROM random access memory remote reset technology, which involves a total of 39 patents......"

Without Helis, Clark is alone in deploying resources and managing the progress of the project, judging from the tone of his voice, it seems a little difficult, 246 people and 351 projects, which is undoubtedly a huge challenge.

"Thankfully, Mr. Clark, Mr. Hillis, CTO, may not be able to return to the company for a short time, so I hope you can overcome the difficulties, and I will also work with Ms. Joanna from the Human Resources Department to ask her to send you an additional assistant to assist you in your work.

But in the future, I hope that you can flexibly adjust the progress of the planning research project according to the feedback from the sales department, the service department, and the factory. ”

Yao Fei has also learned now, for these baby bumps under his hands, he can't just come up and say that you and you are not doing a good job, and there is a problem, even if it is what they need to do, in front of everyone, it is best to take the method of suppressing first and then promoting, first affirming the results of the other party's work, and then further putting forward some of their own requirements for the other party's work.

"Boss, do you mean the floppy disk and floppy disk drive factory? Before the meeting just now, Director Lian Yangnan had already communicated with me on this issue......"

Clark thought about Yao Fei's words first, and then compared the phone call that Lian Yangnan gave him just now, and immediately understood what Yao Fei was referring to.

"Any ideas?"

It's good to have communication, as long as they can communicate in a timely manner, then the next work between them will be easier to do.

"I have communicated with Team Leader Zhao, who is responsible for the R&D and design of floppy disks, and we both believe that the MR reluctance head technology we are currently using is very suitable for the manufacture of high-density floppy disks, which can achieve higher recording density and data recording of floppy disks, thereby increasing capacity and increasing data throughput.

Therefore, we are ready to further explore the potential of this technology and continue to increase the capacity of floppy disks while maintaining the existing data reading efficiency......"

MR reluctance head technology was originally IBM in the early 90s to make a large-capacity hard disk technology, now Yao Fei used to make floppy disks and floppy drives, of course, it is overkill, Clark and Zhao Fei, the leader of the floppy disk and floppy drive project team, after listening to the other party's story, it is easy to know how to carry out the next work.

"The idea is very correct, if the company gives more resources and more time to this project, as long as you follow this line of thought, there will definitely be greater research results.

But I'm very sorry, I think the outside market may not give us so much time to wait, now our floppy disk drive products are facing the cruel competition of other companies' products, if we can't take effective measures in a short period of time, then we will have no other choice but to choose to reduce the price of our products! ”

Since the team leader in charge of the company's various product research and development personnel are there, Yao Fei will certainly not let go of everyone who can instill the concept of market supremacy in these people, whether it is engaged in floppy disk and floppy drive, personal computer, monocrystalline silicon production, or the next wireless pager in Hong Kong, this is not all about making money, with money, his next plan can be transformed from idea to practice, otherwise it is just empty talk.

"Boss, I think we need some help from you......"

The manufacturing technology of floppy disks was developed by Yao Fei at the beginning, which is something that Zhao Fei and their team members all know, since Yao Fei is now installing Yao Fei and wants to complete the upgrading of the product in a short time, then in his head, there must be a technology or design plan that can achieve immediate results.

"Have you ever thought of making full use of the disk area in the floppy disk to create a double-sided floppy disk that can store data on both sides at the same time?"

Even if Yao Fei attaches great importance to the cultivation of the ability of technical personnel to work alone, at this time, it is not the time to set up all kinds of tests, it is better to simply do it.

"We considered the idea and possibility of a double-sided floppy disk, although to realize this idea, we only needed to coat both sides of the platter inside the floppy disk with magnetic materials that can store information, and add a read/write head to the floppy disk drive.

However, since our floppy disk is read and write synchronized, and it will definitely happen that data is stored on both sides of the floppy disk at the same time, this not only requires the two heads in the floppy disk drive to work together, but also requires the floppy disk drive to have the function of consolidating data.

The data on both sides of the platter can only enter the computer's cache after being integrated, otherwise there will be a problem of chaotic information sorting.

Even if we solve the technical problems of reading information on both sides of the floppy disk, we will have to face the next problem of how to integrate the two drive systems that drive the two heads into the existing floppy disk drive.

These are all technical problems that plague our group, and I hope the boss can give us some help! ”
