Chapter 241 Have bottom-line thinking in key technologies

"So...... Dr. Chang, do you already have plans for this? ”

Xu Yang's voice was a little dry, but she couldn't care about it so much.

If the idea just mentioned by the other party can come true, it will definitely cause a big earthquake in the field of numerical computing applications.

"I can't talk about the plan yet, I can only say that there are some preliminary ideas, which are still a little far from the plan, and we need to fill in some theoretical and experimental gaps."

Chang Haonan shook his head, even if he had the help of the system, he would not be so awesome as he was.

This should be a somewhat long, step-by-step process.

After all, if he alone or a few people around him do experiments to collect data, then I am afraid that he will not be able to optimize what he wants in the next life.

Therefore, the wiser choice should be to make a basic version first, and then rely on the strength of the entire industry to provide feedback and upgrade step by step......

It seems to be similar to the thinking of some car companies before his rebirth.

The new car launch is all cake, and all functions have to wait for OTA.

Ahem......

In short, although there is some controversy in the car circle, the routine itself is fine.

As the functionality of the software becomes more and more complex, it is becoming technically and costly impossible to release a so-called "full version" in one step.

And he just borrowed a little bit from the Internet thinking more than 20 years later.

"Numerical simulation with multiphysics coupling is still a blank in the world, and as far as I know, there are only a few schools that have some very simple toolkits in-house, and if you can make a breakthrough in this area, it will definitely affect the whole industry!"

Xu Yang looked at Chang Haonan beside him with bright eyes.

"That's true, but the first step is to be down-to-earth."

Chang Haonan said what he thought:

"First of all, we will solve the commonly used single-physics simulations of heat transfer phase transition, structural mechanics, fluid mechanics, and electromagnetic fields, as well as weak coupling problems involving 2-3 physics, such as convective diffusion, convective heat transfer, thermoelectric coupling, and fluid-structure interaction, and then gradually overcome the problems of more physics and stronger coupling."

"But if that's the case......"

Hearing this, Xu Yang frowned slightly:

"Dr. Chang, you should also know that almost all single-physics simulations now have relatively mature solutions, and weak coupling problems with low nonlinearity can also be solved by introduction coupling or full coupling methods, which may not be very attractive to new users......"

She certainly has a point.

People are inert, and if they can, they won't change.

This is especially true in the field of engineering.

Until Chang Haonan's rebirth, there were even some engineering software that had not been updated all year round and only supported the Windows 98 system, so that an old computer that could be called a cultural relic, had been kept in their research institute.

But the problem is that, similar to the situation of civil aircraft airworthiness certification, if you don't change now, if you want to do the same thing in the future, the price you pay is a hundred times and a thousand times.

Chang Haonan, who has already experienced this, knows this very well.

On the one hand, it is the beginning of 1997, although the relevant industrial software in western developed countries has been developed for about 20-30 years, but it has just begun, or has not yet begun to think about commercialization, and everyone is barely standing on the same starting line.

On the other hand, the only places in China that will use a large number of commercial software are universities, research institutes and state-owned enterprises, which can be reached by administrative orders, and the relevant software ecological barriers have not yet been established.

In fact, Huaxia's own semiconductor industry and software industry were established not very late, in the early 80s, it was already improved, and the gap between it and Neon was about 5 years, although it was not advanced, but it was also considered to have formed its own set of industrial systems.

However, as in many industries, the signs of development that have just begun have been suppressed.

Without top-down support and a mature business model, research, education, and industry are quickly isolated.

Hardware manufacturing plants have become assembly lines that provide cheap labor for foreign companies, the software industry has become a vassal of others, and a large number of software engineers who developed software independently have become ordinary low-level code farmers.

Only a few research institutes and schools are left to continue their research, but they are also unable to do it alone, and after losing their ecology, they are becoming more and more disconnected from actual production.

It wasn't until more than 20 years later, for various reasons, that attention was finally re-emphasized.

In fact, a similar situation also appeared on the side of Maozi after the disintegration.

In 1990, the electronics industry was probably equivalent to that of the United States for about 85 years.

But by 2000, they were still at the level of the Americans in 85, completely missing the explosion of the information industry in the entire 90s (in fact, it was even worse, because they didn't even have the opportunity to follow other people's standards).

It was also more than 20 years later, due to sanctions, that the industry was pulled back up, and by that time it had lagged behind the advanced level for many years.

In short, the bitterness and sorrow of this are difficult for people to experience in 1997.

For Chang Haonan, who was reborn, it was not too late to make amends.

He really doesn't understand semiconductors at all, so let's start with industrial software.

"If you only think about it from a technical point of view, Researcher Xu is right."

Chang Haonan used a more euphemistic statement, after all, no matter how talented a person is, it is difficult to detach himself from the times, and it is normal to have that kind of thought just now.

Xu Yang could naturally hear that Chang Haonan had different opinions from herself, but considering the other party's ability, she just showed a somewhat curious expression:

"But industrial software is not entirely a technical problem, otherwise there would be no Wassenaar agreement."

"Now we use foreign software, except for the language barrier, we really don't feel any inconvenience, but that's because a lot of software has not yet been commercialized, or is in the process of expanding the market in the early stage of commercialization, but if we continue to let these foreign companies recklessly conquer the city in our place, the future will not be certain."

"At present, everyone's starting point is still about the same, but the development of the information industry is too rapid, an industrial software, the more users, the more information feedback the developer gets, and the larger and higher quality databases can be formed, so as to develop better data models. If we can't keep up with this step, it will be impossible to keep up step by step, and if one day in the future, some industrial software suddenly comes out of the Wassenaar Agreement, and then we want to chase and accumulate data again, it will be more difficult to climb to the sky. ”

The resounding words made the atmosphere around the entire table a little heavy.

Xu Yang, who was a little unimpressed just now, also had a sharp shock in his pupils after listening to it, as if he had seen a new continent.

She will choose to return to China from the United States in the early 90s, and there is naturally no shortage of family and country feelings.

But a lot of things don't just have feelings.

The struggle on the scientific and technological front is also a struggle, and it is necessary to pay attention to a technique and strategy.

And in this regard, it is obvious that no one can compare with Chang Haonan, who has experienced the era of trade wars.

"In fact, we have made a breakthrough in the export of industrial software."

Looking at the people who were in thought, Chang Haonan threw a bombshell again.

Anyway, the authority of the people sitting here is sufficient.

"Industrial Software...... Outlet? ”

Xu Yangping, who was outside the aviation industry system and had no idea that Huaxia was negotiating with Europe, felt that his brain was a little out of turn for the first time in his life.

You know,The current Chinese software industry is still in a stage where I don't even understand the sinicization of the UI interface。

Why did it get exported?

Chang Haonan nodded:

"Yes, a small piece of software that predicts the probability of an aircraft freezing in a wet and cold environment and the type of ice is not our first creation, but the function is definitely better than any foreign competitor, and it was sold to Europeans."

"This shows that as long as we can make unique functions or features, we can completely achieve late strikes in the software field!"

Actually, considering that it was on the edge of the dinner table, he still hadn't said half a sentence—

Anyway, now everyone's product performance is based on the defense, even if we make it is also the defense, as long as it is made into chocolate, some people will pinch their noses and eat it.

At this time, on the other side of the dinner table, Sun Cong, who had been listening to the conversation between the two just now, suddenly spoke:

"I've also heard about this matter, but I've never been sure if there is moisture, and now that Comrade Xiaochang has said it, it's really a huge breakthrough......

With the praise, Chang Haonan naturally continued:

"Of course, this time we did take advantage of a rare opportunity for a gap between Europe and the United States, and no one dared to guarantee that other software behind it would have such a good response in the world."

"However, what I want to say is that in terms of including but not limited to industrial software, we must have bottom-line thinking and not let others hold our necks!"
