Summary of meeting between president Ren and scientists and experts in system engineering

President Ren worked with scientists in the field of systems engineering 、 Expert meeting minutes

2022 year 5 month 29 Japan

One 、 Systems engineering is more than just theory 、 Methods and practices , It is also an open mind and philosophy .

We should use the idea of system engineering , Put the company's “ The fence ” Explode , Destroy all kinds of “ Tuweizi ”, Open the confinement of thought , Form an open mind , Digest and absorb slowly , Continuously accumulate organizational capabilities , Better face the future . The system of tenure for cadres is now in place , Is to continuously reduce the Department “ The fence ” The measures of . It is meaningless to concentrate a few people on system engineering to solve a problem , Only tens of millions of people's thoughts are moving towards system engineering , Have the concept of systems engineering , Only in this way can we really bring value into play . Everyone in our company should learn to model , replay - modeling 、 I'll make a second offer - modeling , Finish one thing , Summarize what has been done well , What is not well done , Build a preliminary model ; Then use this model to do the second thing , If there is any deviation, come back and correct it , Repeated offers , Just build a small model ; Several of our teams got through , Several models collide again , Use theory to guide practice . The model gets bigger 、 Variable system , Reducing unnecessary energy consumption improves competitiveness . In the past, we did not summarize our practice 、 Theory has no practice , The two are disjointed , Low efficiency 、 The high cost .

Why should systems engineering be raised to this level ？ We are gradually leading the world in the field of communication , For example, in the optical network, it has gone deep into “ root ” in , Our main backbone transmission now is 400G, Electric relay is not required for long-distance transmission of more than 2000 kilometers , An optical fiber can transmit 80 A wave of 400G, Namely 32T; in addition , Already in 5G Application in 6G Part of the technology . In the computational force network 、 Storage networks 、 On the computing network , The demand for coordination in all aspects is becoming more and more prominent , More systems engineering . The age of great computing power has come , We are turning , Go to this big computing power network , We need to understand and participate in the changes of this era . In this age of great computing power , We are 5G+ cloud +AI Come together , Play cloud 、 tube 、 End 、 The comprehensive competitiveness of the core , We must use scientific methods to dismantle “ small-scale peasant economy ” Under the thought “ The fence ”, Through the idea of system engineering , Let everyone give up “ Smallholder ” consciousness , Facing the future .

Two 、 Systems engineering is a scientific method , Even a screw has systems engineering .

The reproduction and inheritance of human beings for thousands of years is a system engineering , The whole earth is also a natural system engineering . Naturally, it is lack of competitiveness , To optimize nature , Improve nature , To be competitive .

First of all , System engineering should not be monopolized , If only a few experts can do , Focus only on a small number of people , Will fall behind . We should have a system engineering “ The lamp ”, Anyone can do systems engineering .“ Beidou plan ” It is an operating system aimed at billions of servers in the future , Make the architecture from the top down . guide “ Mountaineering ” The reference path for tackling key problems , From 30000 servers to hundreds of thousands of servers ……, Hundreds of millions of servers and an operating system , Allow experts to retreat “ Nonsense ”, They're just attacking from the bottom up “ Mountaineering troops ” A path reference . Systems engineering “ The mountain ” Anyone can climb , Everyone contributes a little , Naturally, system engineering is formed . Each port 、 Everyone has to understand systems engineering , How to use it in his own place .

second , Industrial Internet is a system engineering , Do a good job in the cloud base of the industrial Internet . Each industry has its own application platform , Such as coal mine 、 highway 、 The railway 、 The airport ……, They all have strong personality and industry characteristics , These are systems engineering , We need to work together , Make contributions together . These efforts have helped all walks of life gradually move towards the industrial Internet .

Industry should first move towards mechanization , From mechanization to electrification , Electrification moves towards informatization , Informatization moves towards intellectualization , Only then will we have the opportunity to transform China's manufacturing industry into an industrial Internet , Germany is now ahead of us . Huawei is in the process , The important thing is to make your own contribution , For example, optical sensing 、 optical transmission 、5G Connect , And cloud base .

3、 ... and 、 Science is an endless frontier , Don't rush for quick results .

First of all , The state attaches importance to theoretical construction , We must prevent being eager for quick success and instant benefit . For some pure theoretical scientists who cannot create value in the short term , To understand them , Let them have a decent life , Only in this way can the country have a future . In my submission , Theoretical science is the future of our country “ Water tower ”. Yellow River 、 The Yangtze River is the mother river , Where is mother's milk ？ On the Qinghai Tibet Plateau , Mother's milk is the snow water of the Himalayas , Yellow River 、 The Yangtze River flows down from the snow in Tibet , It snows a lot in Tibet , It means that the country will have a bumper harvest next year .“ Climb the Himalayas ” Your contribution is great , The downstream “ The farm ”、“ pasture ” We should distribute some grain to “ snow-mountain hiking ” Scientists of , They can't be allowed to “ the himalayas ” Starve to death .

Our company “ snow-mountain hiking ” People spend more than a billion dollars a year , The cooperation department supports a lot of money to do cutting-edge research in Colleges and universities , In fact, it has no commercial value to us , Because after theoretical research, it is completely open to all mankind 、 Shared . But we have more than 100000 engineers , Especially strong digestion ability , It is possible to digest these theories first . such as , Turkey Arikan The professor published a mathematical paper more than ten years ago , Two months after publication , We found this paper , According to his theory 5G Polar code . therefore , Theoretical science can be divorced from reality , It doesn't have to be combined with reality , It is not necessary to solve practical problems .

second , Respect intellectuals , Respect the creativity of intellectuals , Allow them to make mistakes , Thought is a shining light . such as , Software is a complex system , Not only in theory “ Pierce the sky ”, More importantly “ Take root ”,“ Take root ” Than “ Pierce the sky ” difficult . What we can solve is the information network , The difficulty of software is unimaginable , We have to find a way to get through 3-5 It will be solved gradually over a period of years or more .

Third , Attach importance to basic education , Allow some differentiated education . The current education system may still be in the era of industrial revolution , Insufficient theoretical construction , Not suitable for the information age , I hope we can really pay attention to , Allow some “ weird ” Students grow up . Our company's talented young people , The most important thing is to see his ability to solve problems , Not his comprehensive quality .

Four 、“ Castle peak outside the building ”, encourage “ Nonsense ”, Freely discuss scientific and technological issues .

Let's do “ Huang Danian tea house ” The purpose of , It is hoped that everyone will come here on scientific and technological issues “ Nonsense ”, As long as it does not involve social science issues . Every scientist 、 Experts come to Huawei , Just tell me what you are best at , It doesn't matter if everyone in Huawei doesn't understand , Because it stays in people's hearts , Knock his brain open , He's not closed . If you say you want to get close to our company's research , We thank , But not what we need most . We do concrete work , Short sighted , What we need most is the small part that we can't see , We want to see “ The green hills outside the mountains , The building outside the building ”. You see far , What you are talking about is just what we don't understand , Just tell us . When I was young, I listened to lectures by scientists of computer control systems , He said ：“ Computer is used for bus ticket management .” I'm confused , Computers do numbers , How to use it for ticket management ？ At that time, there was a question mark in my heart , Only later did I know that it was true . therefore , We need to build a decade 、 A hundred years of assumptions about social things , Suppose we start doing these things , The scientists we brought in have done it for ten years 、 Twenty years from now , They don't take part in “ Kill pigs ”, We only ask for some of them “ Scalpel ” To participate in “ Kill pigs ” The battle of .

“ Huang Danian tea house ” It is an open communication platform , Good internal and external communication , In the future, we can connect domestic universities with foreign universities . You scientists 、 Experts do not need to provide their own computing power , Use our cloud platform , Include AI The algorithm of 、 Storage, etc , Can be provided to you . You focus on the front end , We can support you on the back-end platform .
