"Brother Qin, you're here so fast." After receiving the news from the guards at the base gate, Duke threw away his work and went to greet Qin Tairan and his group. In fact, Qin Tairan, his guard and secretary, and a driver sent by Rongcheng.

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

"Okay, Xiao Wang, are you ready for the VIP conference room?" Duke had already known Qin Tairan's purpose, which was related to the top secret matter of Global Hawk. He had already instructed his assistants to prepare tea in the conference room in advance. He wanted to talk about this matter with Qin Tairan alone, which is something that the assistants around him should not know.

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

When he arrived at the VIP room, Duke saw that he and Qin Tairan were the only ones left, so he asked urgently: "Brother Qin, how are you doing now?" Although he is busy with the modification of the j-7 drone, Duke is actually aiming at the Global Hawk in his mind. In his eyes, the J-7 drone does not have the weight of the Global Hawk.

After all, the gap in technical content is too big. Although Duke will build an extremely intelligent flight control system for the future j-7 drone, as a real technical control, Duke does not value the other j-7 drones as Xiao Qianguang. The modified j-7 drone is more like a reusable missile platform, fast speed but simple in appearance and relatively simple in functions.

Although Duke also understands some of the future combat intentions of this J-7 drone, for Duke, the military blind, these intentions are all abstracted into combat distances and carrying weight and other parameters. Duke has never thought about the huge strategic benefits hidden behind this project.

In Duke's eyes, the old fuselage alone is far from the modern unmanned fighter, so just looking at the appearance makes people loveless. Compared with "Death", the x-47 is really not in line with Duke's aesthetic taste, so this is not the unmanned fighter Duke wants.

Therefore, Duke is very concerned about the breakthrough of Arsenal in Global Hawk hardware. Only if the opponent's materials, power systems and avionics sensor technology are cracked, Duke's large-scale drone imitation plan can have a solid foundation.

Qin Tairan's heart moved, and it seemed to touch something from Duke's words.

"Most of them went very smoothly. After all, we have already had the experience of dismantling large fighter jets such as f-16, su-27, su-30, etc., and the research on dismantling most of the things has progressed very quickly. Parents such as sensors and radar systems have already figured out some clues. Now the research on materials is lagging behind. Relatively speaking, reverse engineering of materials has always been relatively difficult, and there seems to be some problems in the information exchange between the Arsenal and Du's Heavy Industry Materials Research Center."

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. Suppression by administrative orders alone may not be a long-term solution. I wonder if a new mechanism is established to allow stronger centripetal force for cooperation among various research institutions, so as to minimize the repeated waste of R&D resources."

When Duke heard Qin Tairan say this, his eyes lit up. Now it is not just a problem with Du's Heavy Industry's R&D cooperation with external R&D. Even among the major subsidiaries of SAL, due to the inevitable intersection of R&D, there are also conflicts of interest and repeated investment issues between different departments. However, whether it is Zhao Jianwu or Cai Siqiang, there is no good way to deal with this problem.

They now have a R&D team of tens of thousands of people, and there are hundreds of software projects every year. There are quite a few repetitive R&Ds in the middle. In addition to Duke's control on the core system architecture, it can reduce repetitive work a lot and abstract most of the public modules into the form of SDK to publicly use it. However, the large amount of repetitive work that exists on specific projects is beyond the reach of Duke and cannot take care of it.

For example, between smart TVs, smartphones and automotive information systems, voice control technology and media playback, Duke can allow several products to use the same SDK library. There is no problem. The core source code is controlled by Duke. There is a complete automatic compilation and testing system to ensure that the SDK library is updated and upgraded, and can run perfectly on the SAL embedded system and Nuwa operating system.

However, for a large number of application software, Duke cannot control each project to extract the public parts one by one to reduce the repeated work between them. This kind of thing must have a mechanism that inspires everyone to develop public modules and use public modules to truly solve it. There is no solution to rely on people.

That's why Duke was very interested in Qin Tairan's idea.

"You see, most of the current mechanical equipment production have now achieved standardized parts for the common parts, which will greatly reduce the difficulty and repeated construction of hardware production and processing. Can we also borrow this idea in R&D to make the results of the R&D stage public? In this way, when everyone is studying the same direction, each R&D group will share their research results in a timely manner, reducing the investment of other R&D groups on similar issues. After finally developing new products and putting them into production, the output benefits will be divided according to the contribution of each R&D group to the new products.

In this way, the R&D team that proposes the most research results will have the greatest benefits. At the same time, other R&D teams can also accelerate the entire R&D process by stimulating their expertise to fill in the gaps and obtain the value they create 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 in advance, the benefits you get will be greater, which means that there are more things in the pot, and even if you share more people, it is a good deal."

Although Duke heard that Qin Tairan's plan has too many specific operation methods that are not clear, it sounds like this subject's idea is feasible. Although the operation is relatively difficult for different units, for closely collaborative departments, the difficulty can be significantly lower through 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 cycle, it can trigger a competition through the results provided by different R&D groups, so that the results can automatically stimulate everyone's work passion. Think about it, everyone is studying things in the same direction. Other groups have proposed several results, but their own group has not completed anything, this is a silent urging for the members of this R&D group. After all, who wants to become a waste in the eyes of others?

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

This is of course a good thing for R&D.

"Brother Qin, you have a good idea. I'll ask Zhao Jianwu to discuss with you to see if you can come up with a specific implementation method. Let's first find a few projects to try. If the results are good, it will be fully promoted. It is not just the cooperation between Du's Heavy Industry and the United Kingdom, but this method can be adopted within our company." Although Duke, as the big boss behind SAL, does not interfere in SAL or its management work on weekdays, if this matter is beneficial to SAL, Duke will also discuss with Zhao Jianwu or Cai Siqiang. In any case, in terms of R&D, he is not only the boss, but also a real authority. Cai and Zhao will respect his opinions.
