But this time, Chang Haonan was obviously a little worried.

After hearing his words, Wei Yongming almost immediately thought about what to do next:

"If a breakthrough can be made in numerical calculation methods within one to two years, I will have a way to convince the project team to continue in this direction."

"Oh?"

Chang Haonan became interested when he heard this:

"Does your project have other parts that have nothing to do with the casting process?"

To be able to make such a statement, it is obvious that he still has enough results in hand to cope with the mid-term review.

And it can be done without Chang Haonan's software.

Of course, this is also Party B’s usual routine——

The progress cannot be shaken out all at once, it must be kept in a steady stream, and a part of it should be held in the hand just in case.

Just like writing, you cannot send out all the manuscripts at once. You need to keep some in your hand in case of glitches or emergencies. Otherwise, like some authors, you have to take out your mobile phone to code words between meetings to prevent interruptions. .

"Well... it can't be considered irrelevant. We are planning to build an embedded operating system for the equipment used in these two projects that can be fully operated and maintained independently. When we return, we can adjust the priorities and put this matter at the front. , we can probably buy at least a year.”

Wei Yongming's words were astonishing. If he could really accomplish this, his influence would be at the same level as the new software Chang Haonan just mentioned:

"I have inspected many CNC machine tools used by domestic manufacturers in the past two years, and found that many foreign industrial control software locks our permissions at the system level. Even if we do not consider after-sales issues, it is difficult to unlock it. In the contract for purchasing the equipment, They all have overbearing clauses. Many problems that can be solved by a technician must be paid a lot of money to fly their engineers from abroad to deal with them, which costs thousands or tens of thousands of dollars every time. I don’t think this can continue.”

"In the past two years, due to the release of the Chinese version of Windows 95, we have lost a battle in the desktop operating system. Although the embedded operating system is not eye-catching, it actually has a greater impact on production and life. We must not treat it as such anymore. This thing has been handed over to others.”

Speaking of the latter part, Wei Yongming's tone was filled with sadness.

"Autonomous embedded operating system...based on linux?"

Chang Haonan can only understand the code aspect at best, and cannot understand anything that is too profound. However, judging from the subsequent historical development, Linux is definitely a good thing. By the 2020s, almost all embedded systems have been unified into There are two routes: win and linux.

When talking about the fields he is most familiar with, Wei Yongming suddenly became energetic again:

"Not entirely. The current Linux as an embedded system has many flaws. The most insurmountable thing is that some industrial control equipment does not have a memory management unit installed, and Linux cannot run on these devices. In addition, some have MIPS or ARM architecture processing installed. The adaptability of computer equipment to Linux is not good, so our plan is to rely on the upcoming 2.0 version of Linux as the kernel source file to design a new system specifically for the micro-control field."

When he said this, Chang Haonan suddenly remembered why he was so familiar with the other person's name.

Wei Yongming is the developer of MiniGUI, China's first embedded operating system that supports graphical user interface.

Many industrial control equipment, medical instruments and ToB terminals use this system.

In his previous life, despite the lack of external support, he still completed the initial development of MiniGUI in 1998. Now relying on the platform of Seiko Project, it is obvious that he has great potential.

"I'm not an expert in operating systems."

Naturally, Chang Haonan couldn't say what he was thinking before he became a master of dance. On the other hand, he also hoped to keep Wei Yongming within the framework of the Jinggong Plan instead of letting him go out to fight alone:

"But if your new system can gain user approval in the two directions of micro-EDM and investment casting, then I am willing to incorporate it into the framework of the Seiko plan as a whole, so that the following plans will be involved Terminal equipment can choose to use your new system to circumvent the discriminatory policies of foreign manufacturers and possible sanctions."

For an operating system, the importance of the software ecosystem is at least as important as the system itself.

Take the desktop system for example. Before Chang Haonan was reborn, all the computers in their organization had been replaced by the domestically produced KylinOS from Windows. However, at the very beginning, a large number of software had not been adapted to Linux, so additional software was required. Bring a personal Windows computer to work properly.

Chang Haonan has no influence on desktop matters now, but in the late 90s, the domestic industrial control software industry was still in its infancy. If the Seiko Plan can guide top users to choose, or at least be compatible with domestic systems, it will be a good idea for the future. development will be a big boost.

Even the future hardware industry can do this!

"If this is really the case, then I would like to thank you very much, Mr. Chang."

Chang Haonan's promise is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for Wei Yongming.

In fact, since he started paying attention to free software and Linux operating systems a few years ago, he has always had the idea of ​​designing a new system based on them. However, he suffered from insufficient conditions and made slow progress until he participated in this project at the beginning of this year. Afterwards, a platform of sufficient height was obtained to do this.

In less than three months, he completed more content than the previous two years combined.

This is just the support provided by two projects.

If the entire Seiko Plan...

Wei Yongming even dared not think about the situation at that time.

……

The conversation with Wei Yongming once again strengthened Chang Haonan’s sense of urgency to promote multi-physics simulation research.

The requirements for production and manufacturing capabilities of the August 7rd Project that he participated in before were not much higher than those of the JH-8 already in service and the old J- in the past. In other words, the main shortcoming of the wooden barrel was the design, so it could In a matter of months, a complete transformation was achieved very quickly.

As third-generation fighter jets, Project 10 and Project 11 are completely different. Their overall leading performance relies not only on advances in aerodynamic design and avionics, but also puts forward requirements for aircraft production that are much higher than in the past.

Even without considering the long-term shortcomings of aviation power, these two models in previous generations still relied on a considerable number of aviation materials and key components imported from abroad for a long time, so it was difficult to roll out production until the 2010s.

Now, with the help of Chang Haonan, their finalization time must be much earlier than the original timeline. If mass production is still impossible due to manufacturing problems, then the significance of this advance will be greatly reduced.

"I still need to encourage Professor Liu..."

On the way back to the office, Chang Haonan thought for a while and found that compiling the textbook was the fastest way to gain a lot of theoretical experience.

So we still have to take advantage of Liu Hongbo.

This made him speed up his pace.

However, before he could find Liu Hongbo, he was stopped at the entrance of the corridor by Du Yishan and two men in black suits.

"Hello, Comrade Chang Haonan."

One of them stepped forward and shook hands with Chang Haonan.

If Du Yishan wasn't right next to him and he was using honorifics when speaking, Chang Haonan would have thought that he had done something outrageous and was going to be punished just by looking at this posture...

However, the development direction of things was completely opposite to what he thought...

"We are here to send you your award certificate and an invitation letter to the award ceremony. You need to sign to confirm receipt."

"Award certificate?"

"What prize?"

Chang Haonan looked at Du Yishan with a mysterious smile in the distance, and asked in confusion——

Why don’t I know that I won the award?
