In another corner of the world, a man in a white coat looked at a square sheet in his hand, and complained to his colleagues with some differences: "I don't understand, this is already a miracle, but why does your Majesty
Still unwilling to popularize this magical thing on a large scale."
"It's such a small thing, it can hold hundreds of world famous books, millions or even tens of millions of words... This was unimaginable in the past." As he spoke, he stroked it with his hands.
That floppy disk.
Yes, that is a computer floppy disk. Compared with past storage technologies, this thing can be described as a miracle.
In the eyes of the technicians who developed this kind of floppy disk, it represents the future! It represents an unreachable future that they could not even imagine.
Just five years ago, the storage modules of computers were as huge as refrigerators. If you wanted to load some data, you would need an area as large as an entire factory building, filled with storage modules.
But now, the memory modules of the small computers used in universities in the Tang Empire are only as big as a washing machine. Now, real microcomputer technology has become popular in the military field, and has expanded crazily in the civilian field.
It is no exaggeration at all. Hard drive technology has been quite mature in the Tang Empire. Nowadays, a computer hard drive can store dozens of gigabytes or even more than a hundred gigabytes. It is simply unimaginable for this world.
And this is not the most advanced technology. The most advanced technology is still in the laboratory stage. Many terrifying technologies are still in the exploration stage, and there is still a long way to go before large-scale mass production.
Therefore, disk technology is regarded by many experts as the most cutting-edge super storage technology in the world. With this thing, everything will become convenient and fast.
The only regret is that it seems that His Majesty the Emperor is still not satisfied with this floppy disk technology. He does not allow this kind of thing to be manufactured in large quantities and can only be circulated and used within a limited range.
It seems that in the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor, this kind of device with powerful storage capabilities and fast reading and writing speeds is just a transitional product, and its performance is only barely adequate.
"I don't think you need to question His Majesty the Great Emperor at all on this point. He is the God of Technology, and you will never be able to catch up with his vision in a lifetime, or several lifetimes, so your questioning is basically no different from blasphemy." Technician
My colleague shrugged his shoulders and said slightly mockingly.
His words left the other party speechless, because in the field of technology, His Majesty the Emperor has always been a guiding light. Questioning the Emperor? He really does not have the qualifications.
This was not because of the emperor's status, but because of the emperor's academic ability - no one dared to question a god, and in the eyes of these technicians, Tang Mo was a god.
After waking up his colleague, the colleague who was busy at work continued: "I heard that the results of the team next door are coming out soon. That thing is better and has almost no defects."
Indeed, in his opinion, that thing was indeed so advanced that it was said that it only needed a volume as big as a finger to accommodate a dozen gigabytes of super-huge "content".
Compared with this thing, there is actually another thing that the Tang Empire is coming up with, which is really eye-opening.
Internet! Tang Mo's infrastructure construction in Chang'an, or in other words, infrastructure construction in major cities has been rolled out, and the Internet has become a new plaything for many nobles.
A brand new world that can be called a miracle is being built. Although it is still crude now, the future it represents has made many smart people realize its importance.
It's just that all the current technologies are still firmly in the hands of Datang Group. Tang Mo has not yet planned to give this piece of cake to others. He is unlikely to give it to others because he knows the Internet better than anyone else.
importance.
"Damn, those guys are progressing so fast? I thought it would take at least two years to come up with that thing." The technician who just complained that the disk technology he developed was not taken seriously sighed in frustration.
It's not that he doesn't know how powerful a USB flash drive is, it's just that he really doesn't know that such a thing can be tested so quickly and produced in real form.
"It's only at the laboratory level. I heard that the equipment is being manufactured. It's hard to say whether it can be mass-produced, so we haven't disbanded yet." A colleague who knew more than him gave a general idea. There is really no way to do it now.
U disk technology became popular immediately, but it is indeed more powerful than a disk.
In fact, it's not just their group, there is a group of people next door who are responsible for developing optical discs. I heard that that thing is even more of a pity. Originally, the technical staff there thought that what they were responsible for was the truly most advanced technology.
Because compared to floppy disks, optical disks are easier to save and have a larger capacity... Unfortunately, that thing now seems to be in a category that will be eliminated before it is very popular.
This is the case in the technology department of the Datang Empire. Many technologies that have never been heard of in other countries, and even technologies that can set industry standards and cause waves, have not had the opportunity to be mass-produced.
These things will basically be divided into two categories: one type can be used to fool enemies into following suit when necessary; the other type can be shared with "allies" when necessary...
Yes, if you are lucky, they do have a chance to be used in other countries for a period of time. If you are not lucky, these technologies will be buried by time and become the cornerstone of trial and error for one world for another.
So far, the storage particle technology is not yet mature, and the Tang Empire has no way to mass-produce it. This does take some time to accumulate, and Tang Mo has no way to improve the world's precision processing capabilities all at once. All equipment has
It takes a little bit of debugging, and all processes need a little bit of debugging.
At this level, it is not just a few workers who desperately improve certain process machine tools to achieve mass production. Many roads can only be taken step by step, and many problems must be solved in practice.
This is why Tang Mo has to carry out so many experiments at the same time and race against time to carry out many research and development projects at the same time: these roads must be walked through before he can cultivate the corresponding talents and let the world understand these technologies that are like a book from heaven...
"I guess they won." Hearing that the other party had begun to study whether it could be mass-produced, the technician who complained at first sighed and said a little feebly.
