Xing Baohua said it didn't matter, since the core components were in the chip.
Summon Liu Quan over and give him some instructions. Send someone to call Niu Jishan over as well.
Together with several workers trained in electrical appliances, they formed a project task force.
The blueprints weren't finished, and there wasn't time to finish them either. Xing Baohua was in charge of the core components, and he didn't draw the other components on the motherboard in a standardized way; he was in a rush, as long as they were understandable, that was fine.
Some were responsible for soldering the motherboards, and others for wiring. As for the modems, Xing Baohua asked Rudin if he could help get a few.
He shrugged, indicating he couldn't help. In his words, "If it's a lot, it's easy to handle. But if it's less, there's really nothing I can do; it'll be mailed over, and three days will have passed."
Having no other option, Xing Baohua went to the machinery factory to find Director Shen Jie.
Through his connections, he found someone in the equipment department of the municipal post and telecommunications bureau.
They managed to buy three devices, each with eight ports. These three sets of equipment cost Xing Baohua over five hundred yuan.
It's painful to see him suffer, but there's nothing I can do. He made the bet, and he even set a three-day timeframe.
The team was assembled and got to work. They had booked a hotel, hoping for a short separation and a pre-wedding reunion with his young wife, but that plan was now ruined.
Let's work overtime! Xing Baohua is in charge of the core chip components. Fortunately, when developing the learning machine, we had all the necessary equipment, so we didn't have to look for it from scratch.
Xing Baohua first disassembled the modem, as the wiring needed to be modified.
Moreover, the IC chip also needs to be modified.
It took me all morning just to figure out the circuit diagram. I didn't have time to draw it out; I just formed the impression in my head.
Find a young man who can tighten screws to handle the screws, and another person with a soldering iron to disassemble the soldered parts.
After setting up the three modems, Xing Baohua had someone install cables according to the port specifications, as the ports needed to be modified.
Then we designed the network card.
This is simpler. First, make a PCI dock. Since the learning machine doesn't have any extra ports, we have to add more interfaces.
Remove the base from the learning machine to add an interface here. The network card chip is a modified 4004 chip.
After the hardware was sorted out, we started designing the software, which was the most time-consuming part.
Xing Baohua is designing the software, and Liu Quan and Niu Jishan are also close to completing the electrical components on the circuit board.
Then, I took a multimeter and started testing. As long as the voltage and volts reached the required level for power-on, it meant there was no problem.
Xing Baohua stayed at the factory for three days straight, working tirelessly. Sometimes he didn't even have time to eat, so Xiao Bomei would prepare his meals and reheat them if they got cold.
At the crucial moment, the phone on the desk rang. Xing Baohua told Xiao Bo to answer it, and Xing Baohua continued working.
Xiao Bomei answered the phone but said she couldn't understand. Xing Baohua had no choice but to put down her work and answer the phone. When she heard it was George, she realized that he had already arrived in the capital.
Xing Baohua told him to take the train directly and ask someone if he didn't understand.
Well, last time he came with someone, but this time George wanted to come alone, which is a bit difficult due to the language barrier.
What should we do about this? We can't possibly bother the Foreign Affairs Office!
Besides, I don't have time to go pick him up!
Never mind, I told him on the phone to figure it out himself. If he can buy a train ticket, he can come. If he can't buy a train ticket, he should find a place to stay first, and I'll pick him up after he finishes his work.
After hanging up the phone, Xing Baohua continued with his work.
Software sharing systems take up a slightly larger amount of hard drive space.
Neither floppy drive is installed. It needs to be compressed.
It needs a boot disk. If there were a hard drive, it would be fine, but the problem is that there is no hard drive in the learning machine.
It can only guide the software into the system to run.
This is a bit more complicated; we need to add a floppy drive. It's a bit of a hassle, but this is just an experiment. If it's to be a finished product, it will require a higher-spec computer, with at least a 10MB/s hard drive.
Time passed little by little, and Redding watched Xing Baohua busy at work, his initial curiosity turning into surprise.
At first, you could see this guy looking at blueprints and even drawing on them, but eventually he skipped all of that.
As someone with a technical background, he felt that Xing Baohua was like a genius, surprising him in many ways.
Who's ever seen a plan come up in their head without even looking at a picture? Reading certainly hasn't.
Watching Xing Baohua proceed step by step, I didn't dare to disturb him, and I even had many questions for him.
Seeing the sweat beading on Xing Baohua's forehead, I realized this young man had really put in the effort!
Xing Baohua finally breathed a sigh of relief after finishing. The core part was finally done, and there was still a little bit left to finish with the software system. After that, he turned on the machine for testing.
Xing Baohua asked Liu Quan to get a few more television sets so they could borrow them from the city guesthouse first. He told his uncle he would borrow them for a day.
The guesthouse might not have twenty TVs, but there are city hotels; we can go over in the evening and see if we can borrow a few.
