Chapter 488: A New Mechanism for Collaboration

"Brother Qin, you came really fast." After receiving the news from the guards at the gate of the base, Duke left his work and came out to greet Qin Tairan and his party, which was actually Qin Tairan, his guard and secretary and a driver sent by Rongcheng.

"Fortunately, this time the civil aviation was finally on time." Seeing that Duke was still the same, Qin Tairan said with a smile, "I came here to discuss something with you this time, and we'll talk about it inside." ”

"Okay, Xiao Wang, is the VIP conference room ready?" Duke already knew a little about Qin Tairan's intentions, it was a top-secret matter related to Global Eagle, he had already instructed his assistants to prepare tea in the conference room in advance, and he wanted to talk to Qin Tairan about this matter alone, which was something that the assistants around him should not know.

"Dean Du, everything has been arranged," Xiao Wang, who was in charge of administrative logistics at the base, replied respectfully.

When he came to the VIP room, Duke saw that there were only two people left, himself and Qin Tairan, so he asked urgently, "Brother Qin, how is your progress over there now?" Although he is now busy with the modification of the J-7 drone, Duke's heart is actually aimed at the Global Hawk, and in his eyes, the J-7 drone does not have the weight of the Global Hawk.

After all, the gap in this technical content is too big, although in terms of avionics, Duke will create an extremely intelligent flight control system for the future J-7 UAV, but as a real technical control, Duke for J-7 UAV is not as important as Xiao Qianguang The modified J-7 UAV is more like a reusable missile platform, fast but simple, and the function is relatively simple.

Although Duke also understands some of the future operational intentions of this J-7 UAV, for Duke, a military blind, these intentions are all abstracted into parameters such as combat distance and carrying weight, and Duke has never thought about the huge strategic interests behind this project.

In Duke's eyes, the old fuselage alone is far from modern unmanned fighters, so just looking at the appearance makes people loveless, compared to the "Grim Reaper", X-47, it really does not meet Duke's aesthetic taste, so this is not the unmanned fighter Duke wants.

Therefore, Duke is very concerned about the breakthrough of the global Hawk hardware in the military industry, and if the opponent's materials, power systems and avionics sensors are cracked, Duke's large-scale UAV imitation plan can have a solid foundation.

Qin Tairan's heart moved, as if he had touched something from Duke's words.

"Most of them are very smooth, after all, we already have the experience of dismantling F-16, SU-27, SU-30 and other large fighters, most of the things dismantling research is progressing very quickly, such as sensors, radar systems, etc.

Qin Tairan briefly introduced the situation, "Duke, I have a new idea, now our research involves many departments, and there are many interests involved in each other, and it may not be a long-term solution to rely on administrative orders alone, I think it is not a long-term solution to establish a new mechanism to make the cooperation between various research institutions have a stronger centripetal force, so as to avoid the duplication and waste of R&D resources to the greatest extent." ”

Duke's eyes lit up when he heard Qin Tairan say this, now it is not only that there is a problem with the R&D collaboration between Dushi Heavy Industries and the outside, but even among the major subsidiaries of SAL, due to the inevitable crossover of R&D, there are also conflicts of interest and duplication of investment between different departments, but whether it is Zhao Jianwu or Cai Siqiang, there is no good way to solve this problem.

They now have a R&D team of tens of thousands of people, and there are hundreds of software projects every year, and there are not a few duplicate R&D projects in the middle.

For example, between smart TVs, smartphones and car information systems, voice control technology and media playback, such as highly versatile functional modules, Duke can let several products use the same SDK library, which is no problem, the core source code is controlled by Duke, and there is a complete automatic compilation and testing system to ensure that this SDK library is updated and upgraded, and can run perfectly on SAL's embedded system and Nuwa operating system.

However, for a large number of applications, it is impossible for Duke to control each project one by one and extract the common parts to reduce the duplication of work between them. This kind of thing must have a mechanism that stimulates everyone to develop public modules and use public modules, so that it can be truly solved, and there is no solution by relying on people.

Therefore, Duke was very interested in Qin Tairan's idea.

"You see, now most of the mechanical equipment production has realized the standard parts of the common part, which will greatly reduce the difficulty and repetitive construction of everyone in the hardware production and processing, in the research and development of whether we can also borrow this idea, so that the results of the research and development stage can also be used, so that when we study the same direction, the research results of each research group will be shared in a timely manner, reduce the investment of other research and development groups on similar problems, and finally develop new products into production. The benefits of the output are then divided according to the degree of contribution of each R&D group to the new product.

In this way, not only can the R&D group with the most research results have the greatest benefits, but at the same time, other R&D groups can also accelerate the entire R&D process by stimulating their own expertise in the process, and obtain their own value from the final product as soon as possible. For all parties, this should be a win-win situation, after all, if you can produce results early, the benefits will be greater, which is equivalent to more things in the pot, even if there are more people, it is cost-effective. ”

Although there are still too many specific operation methods in Duke's plan, it sounds like this main idea has a certain feasibility, although it is more difficult to operate for different units, but for closely coordinated departments, this difficulty can be greatly reduced through the coordination between superior leadership departments, and it seems to be more feasible to solve the internal R&D collaboration of various subsidiaries of SAL.

More importantly, if Qin Tairan's idea enters a virtuous circle, it can trigger a kind of competition through the results provided by different R&D groups, so that the results automatically stimulate everyone's passion for work, think about it, everyone is studying things in the same direction, other groups have put forward several achievements, but their own group has not completed anything, this is a silent urging for this R&D team member, after all, who wants to become a waste in the minds of others?

If this relatively transparent mechanism can ensure the relative fairness of the distribution of benefits in the future, then it will be like the catfish effect to activate the healthy competition of each R&D group.

For R&D, this is certainly a good thing.

"Brother Qin, you have a good idea, I will bring Zhao Jianwu when I go back, let him discuss it with you, see if you can come up with a specific implementation method, let's find a few projects to try first, if the effect is good, it will be fully promoted, not only the cooperation between Dushi Heavy Industry and Ordnance Industry, but also this method within our company." Although Duke, as the big boss behind SAL, does not interfere much in the management of SAL or its subordinates, but if this matter is beneficial to SAL, Duke will also discuss it with Zhao Jianwu or Cai Siqiang, anyway, in terms of research and development, he is not only the boss, but also the real authority, and Cai and Zhao will both respect his opinion.
