"What task?" Professor Li Xianlin suddenly became interested.

The most important thing for the company at present is to try to write the instruction set with the Chinese programming compiled by Zhong Zixing, once successful, it means the reform of the entire information technology industry chain.

This will be a big event that will sweep the country and even the world, changing the dependence of programmers on English from the bottom.

For such an important matter, Zhong Zixing took the lead in writing instructions, so he who stayed behind must also have important tasks.

"I heard that you studied industrial software a few years ago and then went to computers? So, I'd like to ask you to lead a team to design an EDA software! ”

EDA, also known as software, is also considered by many to be the same thing as Internet software products, no different from general management design software.

But in fact, industrial software does not belong to the ranks of IT software, it is a crystallization of industrial technology, rather than the results that can appear only by IT personnel programming.

Of course, without IT-related practitioners, industrial software would not appear on computers, but it is classified in the industrial field.

So, don't define industrial software in terms of IT software, which are two very different industry products.

The EDA software currently used by Neutron Star comes from Cadence, the world's largest electronic design automation software company.

How good is cadence?

Since the nineties of the last century, the company has continuously ranked first in the international EDA market in terms of sales performance.

All of the world's leading semiconductor and electronic systems companies use Cadence software as the standard for their global designs.

Under this company, there is a tool called allegro, which is the industry standard in high-speed board design, and it can be called a cow beep in every aspect, and people who have used it will hardly use other tools.

60% of the world's computer motherboards and 40% of mobile phone motherboards are drawn with this software, and other circuits cannot be counted.

Those who have never heard of it may think that this company is nothing remarkable, not even famous.

But......

In 18 years, it was this company that took the lead in directly responding to the call of Eagle Sauce and stopped the technical support of all IC design tools for Zhongxing Jyun.

Cadence's action made Zhongxing plummet, falling from the clouds to the bottom, and completely let the world know him.

The market for this kind of industrial software is not big, but its influence is beyond the sky.

If one day, Neutron Star Technology is suddenly banned from using EDA software in the field of IC design, then the consequences are unimaginable.

As a giant aspiring to achieve a technology monopoly in the top technology field, how could it be possible to take the initiative to stick out its neck and be stuck?

Prepare in advance, take precautions, even if it costs money, you still have to break through and get the initiative.

However, industrial software may not sound like chips have an important market position, and the total market value of the global field is not worthy of chips, and can only barely be worth a fraction of the chip.

However, once the electronic design software tools are deactivated, no matter how many chips you procure, no matter how strong your technology is, it will only be rootless duckweed.

This shows the irreplaceable importance of EDA industrial software in the field of electronic design.

EDA technology is easy to understand.

It is to use the computer as a tool to complete the design file in the hardware description language on the EDA software platform.

The software automatically connects to a computer to automatically complete logic compilation, segmentation, optimization, simulation, etc., improving the efficiency of circuit design like never before.

China's manufacturing industry is large, the world's first, accounting for almost one-third of the world's total.

However, because of the shortcomings in industrial software, the motherland is big but not strong.

Everyone knows that the fourth industrial revolution is coming, but they don't know how important industrial software is in this era of intelligence, automation and digitalization.

China has made achievements in industrial software, and even once received policy support from the Ministry of Machinery and the Ministry of Science and Technology, and many industrial software companies began to appear on the stage.

As for why the army collapsed later, it is also part of the fact that it did not get due attention when it took the wrong path.

"EDA software?" Professor Li Xianlin frowned and began to be silent,

He used to be engaged in related fields, majoring in industrial software design in college, but in 05, he slowly withdrew from this field.

Is EDA difficult? It's very difficult, it's a field that needs a lot of technology accumulation, and it doesn't exist at all overnight.

Even if it succeeds, the market is so big, and it is very reluctant to get back the funds, and it is already very powerful to ensure that there is no loss.

There is no money to be made, except for those who really strive for their dreams, who wants to enter this thankless field and struggle? Capital doesn't want to invest money in it.

However, if you want to not be stuck in the neck and enter the road of Zhongxing, Neutron Star Technology Group must enter this field and fight with industrial software giants.

"Nearly 10,000 people in the company's information technology department, from industrial software design to computer technology, there are not 3,000 but also 1,000, plus people and things screened out, and the Ministry of Commerce selected to acquire several companies, can make up at least 5,000 people for industrial software projects."

Zhong Zixing was a little ruthless, he didn't believe that with so many people and his technical support, industrial software would not be able to be designed.

Fund? The amount of money invested in this field in China over the years is really unspeakable, and the total investment of a foreign company has exceeded the sum of the domestic ones.

Therefore, Neutron Star Technology can only explore and do it by itself.

Invest ten times first, at least to improve the research and development efforts to the world-class level, anyway, the Department of Life Code will come back with an order, not to mention that the Ministry of Information Technology will return tens of billions of dollars of ultra-high profits this year.

"Compared with China, foreign countries have always regarded industrial software as a core strategy to support, and it will be repeatedly mentioned every year, and we can only rely on ourselves!" Zhong Zixing knew that this burden was very heavy, but he had to start paying attention to it.

"I see!" Professor Li Xianlin didn't say anything, left the laboratory directly, and began to make relevant preparations.

In the past, I left industrial software because I couldn't see a way out, but now that I have money and people, there is no reason to give up this important field.

Whether it is electronics, machinery, energy and other related industries, it is inseparable from the core technology of digital modeling and simulation, and industrial software should be treated as the core of the field of science and technology no matter from which aspect.

However, there has been no loss in this area, no real pain, no technology companies like Zhongxing have been directly disabled, and perhaps no one will pay attention to it except for those who have understood industrial software.
