The Literary Life of a Science Leader

Chapter 197 Industrial Software (44)

Industrial software is the focus.

Many people are aware of popular concepts such as smart manufacturing and Industry 4.0, but under the 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 "import" and directly import foreign software, ignoring independent development.

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

In some competent departments, industrial software is also marginalized in the catalog of strategic emerging industries.

As an industry, the industrial software industry is small.The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's "2019 Software and Information Technology Service Industry Statistical Bulletin" shows that my country's software business revenue in that year was 63061 billion yuan, of which industrial software revenue was 1477 billion yuan, accounting for only 2.3%, and only industrial enterprises had a total revenue of 102.2 trillion yuan. 0.14%.

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

But the real problem is that industrial software is almost in the middle of nowhere.

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

The first level of the directory lists 8 industries; the second level is divided into 40 key directions; the third level is further subdivided into 174 sub-directions.

Among them, "emerging software and services" is divided into 11 items, and the word "industrial software" appears, which belongs to the fourth level; "product development and design software" under "industrial software", that is, core industrial software such as CAD and CAE, In the fifth layer, which is listed layer by layer, it is submerged in nearly 4000 subdivided "key" products and services.

Industrial software is an interdisciplinary field, which is both basic science and IT products, 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 ten years, the industrial software industry has actually faced "three no-regards".

From the "Seventh Five-Year Plan" to the "Tenth Five-Year Plan" (1986-2005), the "CAD Project" of the former Ministry of Machinery and Electronics Industry, the "National High-tech Research and Development Plan ('863') of the former State Science and Technology Commission and the Ministry of Science and Technology Plan)" and "CAD/CIMS application engineering, manufacturing information engineering", has been giving support to the research and development of domestic industrial software.

During the "Tenth Five-Year" 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 [-]D computer-aided design CAD software.

Starting from the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan", that is, after 2011, industrial software has been included in the informatization field of "integration of industrialization and industrialization", which is under the responsibility of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and the Ministry of Science and Technology is no longer in charge. The previous support from the Ministry of Science and Technology will no longer continue.

However, for the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, independent industrial software research and development belongs to basic scientific research, not the informatization construction of industrial enterprises. 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", my country's total investment in core industrial software research and development was less than 2 million yuan.Compared with the United States, since the "Digital Modeling and Simulation Innovation Strategy" was proposed in 1995, and now the "Advanced Manufacturing Partnership Program", high-end industrial software has always been placed in the core strategic position.

For example, in the "Electronic Resurgence Initiative (ERI)" led by the US 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 US$2410 million.Synopsys, another of the global EDA Big Three, also received $610 million.According to the official data of DARPA, the Advanced Research Agency of the US Department of Defense, the "Electronic Resurgence Program" will cost about 2019 million US dollars in fiscal year 2.16.

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

In Mu Jingchi's view, industrial software has already been monopolized by foreign countries. If there is no investment, 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 mechanical manufacturing and materials, it is indeed possible to start self-research.

Continue to take the aero engine as an example.

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

For example, lack of design experience.

It is designed to be tested, is this normal?

But if the design fails and the test fails, then everything in front of it will be in vain, including materials.

Such a mistake, cost of materials, loss of manpower and material resources exceeded tens of millions of dollars.

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

Such mistakes again and again, no amount of money is enough, so the lack of design experience.

It's similar to chip design. After the chip design is completed, it costs 3000 million US dollars to tape out at a time. If it fails, the 3000 million US dollars will be in vain.

Can the average company afford such a loss?A few more failures and the company would go bankrupt.

back.

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

Under such circumstances, domestic aero-engine design software can be developed.

Other examples include fluid mechanics simulation, process design database management, rotor bearing system dynamic model analysis software, one-dimensional 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 make plans early."

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

"Furthermore, security issues may not be guaranteed unless our technology is forever in the catch-up phase."

In the current era, there is no absolute security for data, unless there is always physical isolation plus paper information.Otherwise, there is always a risk of being stolen.

And if domestic software and systems are used, at least they are relatively safer.

"Industrial software?"

Minister Huang didn't take it too seriously at the beginning, after all, this thing was not taken seriously, but when Mu Jingchi said the last sentence was about safety, he immediately took it to heart.

At present, Huaxia has an advantage in Mujingchi's dislocation system. In other aspects, it is 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.

When Mu Jingchi saw Minister Huang's intentions, 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.First there was Sloden, and then there were Facebook and Apple who admitted to monitoring. Think about the industrial software involved in 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 with the development of technology in the future, it will be difficult to say."

"En!" Minister Huang nodded repeatedly, looking at Mu Jingchi's young face, he made up his mind.

Mu Jingchi is still young and has decades of scientific research. If during such a long scientific research process, the results are stolen by foreign countries, it will be a big loss.

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

However, the results of research must always be applied, or redesigned, after all, what people study is only materials.

So in other links, will there be a possibility of data leakage?

possible!
"I'll pass it up."

···
For the next three days, Mu Jingchi came to the meeting every day.

Gradually, each enterprise group has almost straightened out its own capabilities and R&D tasks undertaken. Some companies even funded with each other to jointly re-establish a special laboratory, and then undertake research projects.

"Mom, did you come early?"

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

The policy issues of the Material House community still need the approval of relevant departments, which does not mean 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.

While resting, Mu Jingchi saw Lao Mu waiting.

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

"I guess the problem is not too big!" Sitting next to his mother, Mu Jingchi said.

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.

Mu Jingchi's breakthrough in research projects will save the country funds and future benefits at least starting at trillions, and this does not include the military and political influence involved.

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

"The question of whether it is really not a big one, but the detailed strategies and guidelines still need to pay more attention. If these small things are not done well, it will also affect the reputation."

"Besides, we did ask for relevant policies in the past, and we still need to be polite."

Now, Lao Mu doesn't want his son's reputation to be damaged at all. In everything, he thinks about his son first, and then considers the issue of making money.

Mu Jingchi nodded, "The meeting is almost over, please wait a little longer."

"Go and do your work. I just want to think about it, think about it, and see if there are any omissions."

The meeting ended at four thirty in the afternoon.

Mu Jingchi spoke on it again.

"Everyone, 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 they are carefully refined, there are hundreds of research directions, and they can all produce results. The difference is big and small, it depends on the research and development capabilities of the respective teams.”

"I'm here to wish you all success."

On the surface, Mu Jingchi just threw away a lot of scientific research results, but in fact he doesn't care much about these results, and for him who is now a boss, it is not worth the price.

With that time and energy, it is better to study superalloys!

It is enough to grasp the fifteen core phases and dislocation equations of the entire dislocation system.

Only by knowing how to share can the dislocation system be developed bigger and deeper.
