"Everyone is here, don't wait!"

The headquarters of the newly established AVIC was placed in Pudong New Area. While serving as the director of the 624 Institute, Liu Daxiang also served as the chief engineer of AVIC. The main purpose of holding a meeting in the magic capital this time is to solve some problems for AVIC.

AVIC's own office building is still under construction, and an office building has been temporarily rented. The scale of the rented office building conference room is somewhat "cramped", around the desk, and the participants sit down in two or three floors inside and out.

Asking Bojun to look left and again, his head couldn't help but be a little confused.

Although he has a slight reputation in the field of computer technology with software such as EOS and PS. However, in any case, he never imagined that he would one day be related to these people in this conference room.

Next to him, sitting was an "uncle". looks like a decent character with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looks more like a decent character than Zhu Shimao.

In front of the person's seat, the name tag was written with an unfamiliar name: Jiang Hefu.

Who is this Jiang Hefu? I have never heard of it in the computer industry! Whether he is engaged in hardware or software, how can I say that this person does not have the "taste" of an IT person.

You see Qiu Bojun himself, although he deliberately shaved when he came, his eyes still seem to be unable to open. The cheap shirt he was wearing seemed to never be clean, no matter how much he washed it.

Well, it's the smell of "IT upstarts" anyway.

Since he is not engaged in computers, combined with the location of this meeting, it is obvious that he should be from AVIC?

However, as an IT company and the aero engine industry, there are inevitably some things that can't be beaten, right?

"Meeting, meeting, let me introduce the representatives of all parties participating in today's meeting. ”

As the organizer of the conference, only Hu Wenhai can hold up such a big face and bring so many people together. Naturally, he became the convener of the meeting and introduced each other first.

"This is the chief engineer of AVIC and director Liu Daxiang. ”

Ni Guangnan, Chief Engineer of the Institute of Computing, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Xinke Electronics Research Institute. ”

Liu Qi, Director of the Informatization Special Office of the Ministry of Industry. ”

"Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, Deputy Director Chang Bing of the General Administration of Telecommunications. ”

"Here are Shang Limin, general manager of the railway network communication company, Xu Shusen, vice president of China Railway Construction Investment, and Ran Ni, chairman of Xiucheng Computer Group. ”

......

This is Jiang Hefu, an engineer from the 624 Institute, and next to him is Qiu Bojun, a computer software expert. ”

"Okay, comrades, we know each other first. You're usually busy people, so I won't waste any time and be polite. ”

Hu Wenhai clapped his hands, and then asked someone to hang a drawing on the wall of the conference room. I saw a map of China drawn on this drawing on the wall, which was densely connected by various lines.

This picture was brought by Director Liu of the Special Office of Informatization of the Ministry of Industry. It is a planning map for China's information superhighway to be built in the next five to ten years. From this picture, we can see how huge the information superhighway will be. ”

"By 1999, the information superhighway will be built into a digital communication network with a traffic volume of 10 gigabit between backbone networks. At present, the part that has been built, from the magic capital to the imperial capital, the north-south backbone network has been able to support a 100-megabit communication scale. By 1993, submarine Internet cables between China and the United States will be laid, and 15 Internet data centers will be built across China. This will be a project involving hundreds of billions of yuan and tens of billions of dollars, and the Ministry of Industry has decided to compete with the United States in the Internet field. ”

"In fact, China is already at the forefront of the world in this regard. Hu Wenhai's hand slapped heavily on the map, and his tone was domineering: "Americans have just begun to form their campus network with the idea of the Internet this year. As you should be well aware, China has built a complete network of major universities and research institutes. In the next step, we will start to build urban center Internet cafes in third-tier and above cities in China......"

Hu Wenhai gave a complete introduction to the entire information highway kilometer plan, and the scale, funds, and resources involved were beyond everyone's imagination. In addition to the Ministry of Industry and telecommunications, Netcom and other industry insiders, others can be said to be dumbfounded and fascinated.

In fact, even telecommunications, Netcom and others, who have long been familiar with these contents, can't help but be excited every time they mention this plan.

"But we now have a problem that has to do with the success or failure of many of our initiatives. ”

Hu Wenhai waited for a moment and asked the participants in the meeting to digest the information they had gotten first.

"The state has invested so many resources to build the Internet, how can we use it? Where can the 10,000-megabit backbone network find so much information to fill it up?"

"Okay, that's the first question. Let's put that out of the way first, and then let's move on to the second one. ”

"Aero engines, especially the core of turbofan jet aero engines, are the highest level of industrial technology in the world. Any world power has the ability to independently develop, design and produce advanced turbofan aero engines. Needless to say, China's problems in this area require a lot of make-up lessons. ”

"China wants to catch up in the field of aviation development, and the establishment of China Aviation Development Group is the best illustration. However, the establishment of AVIC Group can only be said to be a beginning, and the specific work still needs to be done step by step. The development of turbofan engines is inseparable from the core engine, and the core engine technology has two routes. One is the Soviet model, which is based on the experience of designers and explores some laws through a lot of engineering practice. Even if you don't know the specific principles, you can still design a first-class engine. ”

"The other is the American model, where huge resources are invested in basic science research. Materials science, aerodynamics, aeronautics, mechanics, power, electronics, these disciplines are comprehensive, meticulous and in-depth research. After mastering the theory, it is time to move on to the engineering design. ”

"On this basis, after communicating with Director Liu, I believe that we can take the third path with our own Chinese characteristics - combining the advantages of the United States and the Soviet Union, and taking a model of computer simulation and basic research and development going hand in hand. ”

"To put it simply, it's about introducing computers into industrial design. From feature-based WYSIWYG 3D design to simulating the operating state of the core machine using a supercomputer. In this way, we can summarize the empirical formula through a large number of simulations and speed up our technology research and development. On the other hand, the investment in computer-aided design can also give us an advantage in the development of basic technologies. ”

"In fact, Americans have been using computers for aided design for a long time. It's just that their equipment is very expensive and requires specialized computer technology training experience. In this area, we are not without the possibility of surpassing them. ”

"Our goal is to put computer-aided design in the hands of everyone involved in industrial design. The WYSIWYG design model is believed to greatly alleviate the work pressure of our staff, improve efficiency, and free up their imagination. ”

"But we also face a problem in this regard. Whether it's computer-aided design or the development of a supercomputer specifically designed for simulation of the aerospace industry, we have to solve a problem of cost. ”

"Equipment that even Americans can't afford to use, we have to equip it in the hands of every Chinese engineer. As for supercomputers in the industrial field, there is also a need for a computing chip that is mature, cheap, and can be supplied in large quantities. Without addressing these issues, there is no possibility of realizing this vision. ”

"We can't expect the Americans to lose money to sell us equipment, and we can't expect the state, or — well, I personally subsidize this money to you. Then there is only one way, and that is to reduce the cost of this equipment to a level similar to that of growing cabbage. How can we achieve this goal? My opinion is that it is localized. ”

Speaking of which, Hu Wenhai has also been a little confused recently. In terms of wealth and status, his current achievements should be regarded as the top part of the businessmen.

So, what should he do next? Staring at how to develop certain technologies in the future? Or is he wondering when to pump the cold and then give international capital a hard time? Or is he going to take a stake in the star companies of the future and wait to win?

Or these problems, it all boils down to one problem. When you are at the top of this social pyramid, how are you going to work.

Are you going to be a scientist, an engineer, a manager, or an investor?

Many people have a lot of thoughts on this issue, but only when he really stands in this position and starts to look at the world from this perspective, can Hu Wenhai truly realize what he should do.

He can be a scientist, an engineer, a manager, and an investor, but there are many, many people who can do these jobs. The person who stands on the highest place, his greatest advantage is to see far enough. Or to put it another way, the place at the very top of the pyramid is reserved only for the person who looks farthest.

Hu Wenhai finally realized that his greatest strength was actually a clear enough vision of the future. Then there is only one thing he needs to do. Looking at those who are in a position similar to him, everyone is doing very similar things.

It's about pointing out a direction and then urging everyone to move forward together toward that goal.
