Industrial software is the focus.

Many people know about hot concepts such as intelligent manufacturing and Industry 4.0, but under its bright coat, the core is actually industrial software.

In the industrial field, although enterprises pay more and more attention to informatization, they generally tend to "take it", directly introduce foreign software, and ignore independent development.

In colleges and universities, the curriculum of related majors is also generally "heavy on application and light on research and development", mainly teaching the use and operation of well-known foreign software.

In some authorities, industrial software is also marginalized in the list of strategic emerging industry support.

As an industry, the industrial software industry is very small. According to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's "2019 Statistical Communiqué on Software and Information Technology Service Industry", China's software business revenue that year was 6,306.1 billion yuan, of which industrial software revenue was 147.7 billion yuan, accounting for only 2.3%, and only 0.14% of the total revenue of industrial enterprises of 102.2 trillion yuan.

In fact, industrial software is by no means an inconsequential subordinate industry, but an indispensable support for the transformation and upgrading of manufacturing industry to improve quality and efficiency, and it is the key to gaining future competitive advantages in the new round of global industrial revolution.

But the reality is that industrial software is almost in the middle of nothing.

The National Development and Reform Commission, together with the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Finance and other relevant departments, issued the "Guiding Catalogue of Key Products and Services for Strategic Emerging Industries".

The first level of the catalogue lists 8 industries, the second level is divided into 40 key directions, and the third level of the catalogue is further refined into 174 sub-directions.

Among them, there are 11 items under "emerging software and services", and the word "industrial software" appears in the fourth level; "product development and design software" under "industrial software", that is, core industrial software such as CAD and CAE, is submerged in nearly 4,000 subdivided "key" products and services in the fifth layer.

Industrial software is in a cross-cutting field, which is not only a basic science, but also an IT product, and is related to the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Science and Technology, and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

In the past decade, the industrial software industry has actually faced "three regardless".

From the "Seventh Five-Year Plan" to the "Tenth Five-Year Plan" (1986-2005), the "CAD Research Project" of the former Ministry of Machinery and Electronics Industry, the "National High-tech Research and Development Program ('863' Program)" and the "CAD/CIMS Application Engineering and Manufacturing Information Engineering" of the former State Science and Technology Commission and the Ministry of Science and Technology have been supporting the research and development of domestic industrial software.

During the "Tenth Five-Year Plan" and "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" periods, the Ministry of Science and Technology also focused on supporting the research and development of core industrial software such as 3D computer-aided design CAD software.

Since the beginning of the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan", that is, after 2011, industrial software has been included in the information field of "integration of industrialization and industrialization", which is responsible for the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and the Ministry of Science and Technology is no longer in charge, and the support of the Ministry of Science and Technology is no longer continued.

However, for the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, independent industrial software research and development belongs to basic scientific research, not to the informatization construction of industrial enterprises, and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology does not have the responsibility and special funds to subsidize basic scientific research.

During the period from the "Tenth Five-Year Plan" to the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan", China's total investment in core industrial software research and development was less than 200 million yuan. Compared with the United States, since 1995, when the "Digital Modeling and Simulation Innovation Strategy" was proposed, to the current "Advanced Manufacturing Partnership Program", high-end industrial software has always been placed at the core strategic position.

For example, in the "Electronic Renaissance Program (ERI)" led by the U.S. Department of Defense in 2019, EDA electronic design giant Cadence was shortlisted for the first batch of support projects and received the highest funding of $24.1 million. Synopsys, another of the global EDA triumvirate, also received $6.1 million. According to official data from the U.S. Department of Defense's Advanced Pre-Research Agency, DARPA, the "electronic revival plan" cost about $216 million in fiscal year 2019.

Of course, this is actually nothing, and the real bulk of R&D funds are actually in the enterprise group itself.

In Mu Jingchi's view, industrial software has been monopolized by foreign countries, and if it is not invested, it will be even more difficult to say in the future.

Let's not talk about industrial software in the electronics industry.

In terms of machinery manufacturing and materials, it is indeed possible to start in-house development.

Let's continue with the example of an aero engine.

In the past, the problem of aero engines was materials, but now the material problems have caught up, and the reason why aviation engines are still imported is actually a design problem.

For example, lack of design experience.

It's normal to design it to be experimented, right?

But if the design doesn't work and the experiment fails, then everything in front of you will be lost, including the materials.

One such mistake caused the cost of materials, manpower and material resources to be lost more than 10 million dollars.

The growth of design experience is the synergy of mistake accumulation and calculation analysis, that is, the cooperation between industrial software and human design ideas.

Such mistakes again and again, no matter how much money is not enough, so the design experience is missing.

It's similar to chip design, after the chip is designed, it will be taped out for $30 million at a time, and if it fails, the $30 million will be wasted.

Can an average company afford such a loss? If it fails a few more times, the company will go bankrupt.

Round back.

But now, because of Mu Jingchi's breakthrough in material research, at least the cost of materials can be reduced, so the loss of natural design failure is also reduced.

In such a situation, it is possible to develop domestic aero engine design software.

For example, other fluid dynamics simulation, process design database management, rotor bearing system dynamic model analysis software, 1D turbine design software, etc.

"High-end industrial software may be suppressed and banned by the United States in the future, so I think it's better to plan early. ”

"Besides, we have our habits, and it is inconvenient to use foreign industrial software. ”

"Furthermore, safety may not be guaranteed unless our technology is always in the catch-up phase. ”

In this day and age, there is no such thing as absolute security of data unless it is physically segregated and paper is always available. Otherwise, there is always a risk of theft.

And if you use domestic software and systems, at least it is relatively safer.

"Industrial software?"

Minister Huang didn't take it too seriously at first, after all, this thing was indeed a little unappreciated, but when Mu Jingchi said that the last sentence was about safety, he immediately took it to heart.

At present, Huaxia has an advantage in the dislocation system of Mujingchi, and other aspects are basically in the ranks of catching up, but only in the dislocation system, it is being chased by foreign countries.

And if the relevant confidential information is leaked due to software system reasons, then this temporary advantage will no longer exist.

As soon as Mu Jingchi saw what Minister Huang meant, he knew that the other party was obviously interested.

In fact, Mu Jingchi himself is also a little worried about this security issue, after all, the United States has a criminal record. There was Sloden in the front, and then Facebook and Apple admitted to the eavesdropping, think about those industrial software that involves high-end manufacturing, will there be similar backdoors?

"Don't worry too much for the time being, I know a lot of confidential information, but it will be a little difficult to say with the development of science and technology in the future. ”

"Hmm!" Minister Huang nodded again and again, looking at Mu Jingchi's young face, and made a decision in his heart.

Mu Jingchi is still young, and he still has decades of scientific research history, if the results are stolen from abroad in such a long scientific research process, the loss will be great.

Of course, Mu Jingchi is not too worried about this, after all, there is a special team leader for personal security and information security.

However, the results of research always have to be applied, or redesigned, after all, what people are studying is only materials.

So in other links, will there be the possibility of data breaches?

It's possible!

"I'll hand it over. ”

···

For the next three days, Mu Jingchi came over for meetings every day.

Gradually, the various conglomerates have more or less rationalized their capabilities and R&D tasks, and some companies have invested in each other to jointly recreate a dedicated laboratory before undertaking research projects.

"Mom, are you here early?"

On the last day, when Mu Jingchi came over, he called his mother and called her to come over.

The policy issues of the material home community still need the approval of the relevant departments, not that anyone can do it. In this regard, Mu Jingchi has no relevant contact with the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, so he wants to contact the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development through the relationship between Minister Huang of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

When he was resting, Mu Jingchi saw Lao Mu waiting.

"It's not like things haven't been implemented yet!"

"I don't think it's a big problem!" Mu Jingchi said as he sat next to his mother.

Not to mention that this in itself is an act that is beneficial to the country, even with Mu Jingchi's current status, this requirement can still be met.

The savings and future benefits of Mu Jingchi's research breakthrough for the country are at least trillions, and that doesn't include the military and political implications.

Therefore, Mu Jingchi is not worried about this at all.

"Whether it is a big problem is really big, but the detailed strategy and policy still need to be paid attention to, and if these small things are not done well, they will also affect the reputation. ”

"Besides, we did ask for relevant policies in the past, and we still need to have the politeness that we should have. ”

Lao Mu doesn't want his son's reputation to be damaged at all, and he thinks about his son first and then makes money.

Mu Jingchi nodded, "The meeting is almost over, you can wait a while." ”

"You go and get busy with you, I'm just going to think about it, think about it, and see if there's anything missing. ”

The meeting ended at 4.30 p.m.

Mu Jingchi spoke on it again.

"Ladies and gentlemen, in the future in the research and development process, everyone will work hard, and the patents of their respective achievements will be retained in the group. There are many research directions, and if you refine them carefully, there are hundreds of research directions, all of which can produce results, and the difference is only big and small, which depends on the research and development capabilities of their respective teams. ”

"I wish you all success. ”

On the surface, Mu Jingchi threw out a lot of scientific research results, but in fact, he didn't care much about these achievements, and for him who is now a big man, there is no cost performance.

If you have the time and energy, you might as well research on superalloys!

As long as we grasp the fifteen core stages and dislocation equations of the entire dislocation system, it is sufficient.

Only by knowing how to share can the dislocation system be developed into a larger and deeper one.
