The 2012 Capital Auto Show arrived as scheduled, and the star of the show was the Zhonghua Group, which is a big competitor for China's auto industry, and the audience who bought tickets couldn't wait to see what new models and new technologies were born in the company.

In addition to moving the Chinese "Tang", which was officially mass-produced on May 1 and equipped with a new "Descendants of the Dragon" design language, to the booth, Zhonghua Group also released a new on-board control system with Huawei - Hongmeng!

Jointly developed by Zhonghua Group and Huawei, HarmonyOS is an open-source system platform focusing on intelligent IoT functions.

In order to conquer the HarmonyOS system, Zhonghua Group and Huawei jointly invested a team of more than 5,000 engineers to work together, and combined software and hardware to build it.

The on-board central control system equipped on the new Chinese "Tang" is the debut of Hongmeng.

It can be said that after solving the traditional three major parts of engine, transmission and chassis, Zhonghua Group began to make efforts on the future-oriented high-tech track, and took the on-board system as a new climbing peak.

The on-board system that appeared on this Zhonghua "Tang" mass-produced concept car is the crystallization of the combination of software and hardware, and it is also the culmination of China's self-developed technology.

You must know that the operating system has always been a pain point in the hearts of Chinese, and the control system on the computer side is dominated by Microsoft and Apple; and on the mobile phone, the control system is also occupied by Apple and Android. Even if there are other non-mainstream operating systems, they are all in the hands of foreign companies such as Samsung, Nokia, and Blueberry.

This is a potential security threat to a country.

Once it is blocked by technology or planted with a virus through the back door, then a large number of working hardware will be paralyzed one after another, and even push the entire country to the brink of collapse.

In a civilized society, in addition to the two means of naked armed warfare and economic warfare that kills people without seeing blood, the status of technological warfare has begun to rise sharply, and the harm is not inferior to that of the first two.

If a technological war is launched at the national level, it is enough to downgrade a country and return from a modern civilization to a stone society.

The emergence of Hongmeng allows China to control its own destiny when it moves towards the next generation of industrial revolution, and no longer hand over its life to foreign companies, which is the umbrella of entering the network technology power.

Behind Hongmeng, there are also China's independent chips to support.

The on-board central control system and chips of the show car "Tang" all belong to China's intellectual property rights.

As we all know, HiSilicon Semiconductor is a chip R&D enterprise jointly established by Zhonghua Group and Huawei. Kunlun chip is a chip foundry manufacturing enterprise invested by Zhonghua Group against TSMC. The cooperation between the two major enterprises can be said to have the effect of a perfect combination.

HiSilicon named the mobile phone communication chips the "Kirin" series, while the smart application chips that carry the Internet of Everything were labeled as the "Ascend" series.

This time, along with the "HarmonyOS" operating system, there is also the "Ascend 300" chip, which is based on the full-scene processing architecture and will assume the computing function of the on-board system.

The "Ascend 300" also received a one-time order of 1 million pieces from China Group, embarking on the fast track of development. At a time when its brother "Kirin" is also widely questioned because of heat and frequency reduction, the "Ascend" chip will also enter the market to be tested by consumers. From the launch of the new generation of "Tang" in May, the "Hongmeng" operating system will be fully equipped on the new models of Zhonghua Group.

In internal tests, both the Ascend chip and the HarmonyOS system are very stable, which may be due to the fact that the in-vehicle functions are weaker than those of smartphones.

If it is just an ordinary car machine system, of course, it is worth it for Zhonghua Group to announce it at the auto show, and it has also won the endorsement of Huawei.

According to Han Hao, the HarmonyOS system will be a milestone start, indicating that China has taken the lead in opening the Industry 4.0 era.

The real powers in the world are all manufacturing powers. Although developed countries, led by the United States, Japan and Europe, have spared no effort to shift manufacturing to low-cost developing countries, the lucrative high-end manufacturing industry has been firmly in hand.

GDP built up on resources such as tourism or oil alone is nothing more than dust in the desert. However, the industrial chain formed by relying on industrial manufacturing and high-tech is the foundation of the country's continuous prosperity and strength, and it is constantly held in hand.

In recent years, although China has become the world's factory, the proportion of the secondary industry has been declining, and the share of the tertiary industry, that is, the service industry, has been eroded by the continuous rise, which is the inevitable result of economic development.

Whether the country is developed or not has always regarded the degree of development of the tertiary industry as an important indicator, and for this reason, many people are calling for trade and finance to establish the country, while the primary and secondary industries are regarded as the existence that can be ignored, and there are even advocates of deindustrialization.

However, the secondary industry, i.e., industry, has an irreplaceable role. In addition to providing a large number of stable jobs, it can also be a strong backing for the country's real strength.

The planes and cannons that defend the country come from the secondary industry, they cannot be conjured overnight, and you will not be able to buy them with any amount of money, and they are precisely the weapons used to defend the country. Without these, the country can only be a fat sheep in the world that can be slaughtered by others, and this is a situation that Chinese people who are interested in the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation cannot tolerate.

After all, backwardness means being beaten, but the Chinese have summed up the lessons they have remembered with blood and tears for more than 100 years.

Han Hao is the richest man who has developed from the traditional manufacturing industry, and of course knows the importance of the secondary industry. Otherwise, he would not have given up capital operation and invested all his money in the seemingly thankless manufacturing sector.

On top of this question, the two richest Chinese men are in stark contrast.

Li Shoufu began to move from real to virtual, integrated and reorganized his own assets, and began to make global layouts by using the advantages of capital, and invested heavily in the public service industry with very low risk. Although he can't make a lot of money for a while, he can ensure a hundred years of worry-free in the long run, which truly reflects that capital has become a veritable global billionaire without borders.

However, Han Hao is based on reality, and has invested heavily in new energy vehicles, chips, rare earth composite materials and the Internet, which seem to be high-risk projects, and if you are not careful, you may be doomed. However, it allows Zhonghua Group to play the role of a leading domestic enterprise in these fields, driving the development of a large number of supporting enterprises and forming its own industrial chain. Once successful, it will be enough to raise China's economic strength to a great level. Although Han Hao also invests abroad, the main purpose is to support domestic development, and he is the richest man in China.

In the words of his right-hand man, the financial officer Yin Qingxun, the richest man Li has achieved the ultimate on the road of "small self", while the richest man Han has gone on the road of "big self".

Industry 4.0 In short, it is the integration of informatization and industrialization to form an industrial system of intelligent manufacturing and interconnection of all things.

It is no exaggeration to say that if China can seize the peak of Industry 4.0, then the whole country will have successfully crossed the "middle-income trap".

It is precisely because of such a great goal that Han Hao will spare no effort to promote the difficulties of high-end manufacturing in Industry 4.0 by himself.

The birth of today's Hongmeng system can be said to be at the right time!

In order to let the exhibition visitors understand what are the benefits of the HarmonyOS system, Zhonghua Group set up a simulation scene on the booth.

"Xiaohua, how long is the drive home?"

The HarmonyOS system has its own AI intelligent voice assistant, which is named "Xiaohua", which is exactly in line with the common denominator of Zhonghua Group and Huawei, and has been approved by both parties.

I saw the main driver's seat car model responsible for the operation demonstration asking about the large central control screen.

"Ding, according to the navigation of the Gaode map, dear master, you still have 5 minutes to go home. ”

As long as you say the words "Xiaohua", you can wake up the AI intelligent assistant in the system. Immediately, the Gaode map pre-installed in the Hongmeng car machine system took the initiative to open on the central control screen, and opened the navigation to go home.

"According to the owner's living habits, the system will control the air conditioner in the home to automatically turn on the appropriate temperature. ”

While "Xiaohua" was talking, he saw that in the living room model room built on the side of the booth, the Gree air conditioner automatically turned on to work.

"Do I need to turn on the living room headlights and play music to welcome you back?"

"Yes—"

As soon as the words of reply fell, I saw the chandelier in the living room of the model room turn on automatically, and then a soothing piano light music begins to play automatically.

"I want to play music on my phone. ”

The car model in the passenger seat took out a Huawei mobile phone and skillfully plugged it into the interface with the car machine system with a data cable.

In an instant, the HarmonyOS system detected the existence of Huawei mobile phones and projected the mobile phone on the on-board central control.

At this moment, the music of "Love My China" sounded in the carriage, which was played by Huawei mobile phones.

Subsequently, the music in the living room also switched to "Love My China", and it can be played synchronously with the car.

"What's the temperature in the hall at home right now?"

The car model gave new questions waiting to be answered.

"The temperature in the hall is 27 degrees, and it is heading towards 26 degrees, which is the most comfortable for the human body. ”

Soon, Xiaohua received the signal feedback from the living room and gave an accurate answer.

This shows that in addition to one-way control, the HarmonyOS system also achieves two-way communication.

"I want to see what the hall surveillance probe is taking. ”

As soon as the words fell, the real-time shooting picture of the hall appeared on the central control screen of the car.

......

Through the demonstration, it can be seen that the Hongmeng system can connect the home appliances to be controlled by an AI intelligent assistant, and it can also be remotely connected with the car's central control AI system through the network connection, so that people can control it remotely in the car and view the situation at home in real time.

This is exactly the goal that Han Hao has been tirelessly pursuing, so that the car is not only used as a means of travel, but also as a terminal of intelligent Internet of Things, giving the car more modern functions. In addition to making the car more beautiful and safer, it is also necessary to help it upgrade to a more high-tech product.

Without Huawei's strong support in the field of communication and the use of 4G transmission technology, the above scenario operation would not have been possible. It can be said that Huawei represents informatization, while Zhonghua Group represents industrialization, and the cooperation between the two sides is not a simple mathematical 1+1, but a nuclear reaction between one molecule and one molecule, which is enough to produce an explosive force that shakes the global economy.

The power of the HarmonyOS system is beginning to appear, large enough to control a car, small enough to control a light bulb, and can seamlessly connect with the most intimate companion tool of human beings - mobile phones, which can be described as an all-environment intermediary.

At this point, the milestone significance of Hongmeng is to act as a bridge between the integration of informatization and industrialization, with it as a foundation, many personalized buildings can be built on it, so as to escort China's Industry 4.0.
