Let me tell you a little story, "Book of Jin Le Guang Biography" records that Le Guang, a famous scholar in the Western Jin Dynasty, asked Pan Yue, a great writer, to write an article for him. Pan Yue asked Le Guang to tell him the meaning completely, and then he wrote it, and finally wrote the famous "Cheng Taiwei Ci Henan Yin Biao". People at that time read this article and commented on Le Guang as "this man's mirror in water, he can see it clearly, like seeing the blue sky through clouds and mists".
The idiom "pull the clouds and see the sun" comes from here.
I often think that the relationship between science and technology and social economy is like that of Pan Yue and Le Guang. The connotation of social and economic development needs to be presented by the "writing" of science and technology, so as to finally achieve the effect of clearing the clouds and seeing the sun.
After 40 years of reform and opening up, a lot of resources, information, and data have accumulated on the land of China. They originally performed their duties and were not connected to each other. If they are connected through creative technological solutions, unimaginable explosions will erupt. Power, this is the goal of the construction of digital China, and it is also the answer to science and technology that has been hotly discussed recently.
At present, in order to achieve this goal, there are two technical solutions that are unique to China and difficult to reproduce elsewhere. One is the deep integration of AI technology and industry, and the other is OpenHarmony (open source Hongmeng).

On June 11, at the 2023 Open Atom Global Open Source Summit Summit Forum, Dr. Wang Chenglu, CEO of Shenkaihong, delivered a keynote speech on "Building OpenHarmony Heights and Practicing Digital China", emphasizing that data is the key to the evolution and development of digital China, and it is unified and open The secure digital cradle is the technical core to realize the efficient use and open sharing of data resources.
We take this opportunity to talk about the development of Kaiyuan Hongmeng, Shenkaihong’s industry-university-research practice, and the significance of these explorations to the construction of digital China.
Perhaps it can be said that in an era full of uncertainties, the open source Hongmeng has made digital China see the light of day.
Digital China's "Metcalfe's Law"
The reason why Kaiyuan Hongmeng is important is that its birth, development and future are closely linked to China's social and economic situation today. The open source Hongmeng was born out of the call of digital China, and with the deepening of the construction of digital China, it has continuously released greater value.
At the current stage, China's economy is in a critical transition period. The core of the transformation lies in three points, namely, the transition from population advantage to industrial advantage, from labor-intensive to data-intensive, and from extensive development to high-quality development.
In this process, it is necessary to transform the development model of China's economy that relies on demographic and labor dividends to data dividends, experience dividends, and information dividends. The role played by data in this process is difficult to be replaced by other traditional factors of production.
Therefore, in 2020, the "Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on Building a More Complete System and Mechanism for Factor Market Allocation" pointed out that "speeding up the cultivation of data factor markets" regards data as the "fifth production factor" alongside land, labor, capital, and technology. Factors" is the most important upgrading and transformation trend in China's economic development. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, developing the digital economy and building a digital China has become a clear national strategy.
Thanks to policy guidance and the efforts of all sectors of industry and academia, China's data scale and data application advantages have made great progress. During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, the compound growth rate of China's data element market will exceed 25%. The data market is continuing to advance in the direction of strengthening openness, accelerating circulation, and deeply mining the rich mines of data elements.
So, how can we deeply release the dividends of data elements in digital China? Here we need to mention the famous Metcalfe's law in the Internet age (Metcalfe's law). This law states that the value of a network is equal to the square of the number of nodes in the network, and the value of the network is proportional to the square of the number of connected users.
In fact, a piece of data is a node; a company, a piece of farmland, and a dock can all be a network that is effectively connected, and Digital China can be a collection of these network connections, a network that is too huge to measure value.
Only when the data as the most basic network nodes are efficiently and deeply connected together can Metcalfe's law of digital China be realized.
But in reality, there are still many problems with such data connection. We once visited a coal mine. The engineers at the mine told us that there are more than a thousand types of equipment in a mine, and hundreds of operating systems are used. However, these systems are not connected to each other, and the data is incompatible with each other. Even if two adjacent devices that need to be linked, the staff need to manually operate them separately.
In a mine, you can see the biggest challenges in the development of digital China: lack of information, poor connections, and numerous data islands.
And starting to change and solve this problem has become the most urgent and most valuable option for the development of digital China. In February this year, the State Council issued the "Overall Layout Plan for the Construction of Digital China", which pointed out that the construction of digital China is an important engine for promoting Chinese-style modernization in the digital age and a strong support for building new national competitive advantages. The "Plan" clearly puts forward such construction requirements: consolidate the foundation of digital China construction, open up the main artery of digital infrastructure, and smooth the circulation of data resources.
Open source Hongmeng is the crucial starting point for smoothing the big cycle of data resources.
Open source Hongmeng, a solution
Today, we all know a series of technical capabilities of open source Hongmeng atomization and soft bus. However, if you raise your attention from technology to industrial value, you will find that Kaiyuan Hongmeng has been aiming at the core issues of China's digital development from beginning to end, and has put forward a problem-solving idea that can exert value in the long run.
As early as 2016, the mobile Internet was bringing a new wave of digitalization, and globalization was thriving. But people of insight at that time had already seen that breaking the inherent data gap was not only an inevitable trend in the future, but also a core opportunity for China to achieve breakthroughs at the operating system level. At that time, when Wang Chenglu led the team at Huawei to start working on the Hongmeng system, he positioned Hongmeng's genes as hoping to use one system to meet all equipment requirements. Today, this goal remains unchanged.
Today, when the task of independent innovation is more arduous and the construction of digital China continues to develop, the value of open source Hongmeng has just emerged. Wang Chenglu believes that the open source Hongmeng has three main characteristics: one system is suitable for all hardware devices; through the distributed soft bus, all devices can be flexibly combined into a super terminal; developers can write logic code once based on the distributed application framework, and then deploy it on various terminals.
Through such value creation, a system can be used to meet the real-time, reliability, security, and completeness requirements of all equipment data, so that countless data can be connected together, and information on mines, ports, and highways, Equipment and people are reconnected to realize Metcalfe's law unique to Digital China.
At the summit forum of the 2023 Open Atom Global Open Source Summit, Wang Chenglu said that in the face of "data islands" and "information islands" generated between numerous devices, a unified and open secure digital base can achieve complete and safe data reporting, and efficient and flexible business development , and the open source Hongmeng itself already has this ability.
Obviously, the value targeted by the open source Hongmeng is contemporary and national. Its landing point is not only a set of independent operating systems, but also not only the intelligent improvement of some typical scenarios, but also the generalization and large-scale solution to the fundamental problems in the digitalization process, such as steam engines, alternating current and other technologies in previous industrial revolutions. The universal value brought by it.
Because of this, Wang Chenglu believes that the value of the open source Hongmeng itself is far from being realized. It is not a single-device system, and the replacement of a single device is just a small step for it. role.
On the road of exploring the value of open source Hongmeng, Shenkaihong has carried out a series of beneficial attempts, providing ideas and demonstrations for more participants and builders of the open source Hongmeng ecology.
In an interview with the media, Wang Chenglu introduced that Shenkaihong focuses on two tasks: one is to extend the open-source HarmonyOS-based KaihongOS to as many device terminals as possible, and to play the value of open-source Harmony in as many devices and scenarios as possible. Lay the hardware ecological foundation for broader ecological development. We can see that after a period of development, KaihongOS has already appeared in industrial drones, robots, light poles and other equipment. The second is to continuously verify and optimize the design idea of the open source Hongmeng, that is, to build a Kaihong digital base, and a system to manage all services to promote the scenario-based implementation of the open source Hongmeng. At present, in the fields of smart cities, smart ports, and smart health care, Shenkaihong has launched active explorations.
Open source Hongmeng has become an answer from technology and a solid solution in the wave of digital China construction.
Eastern sunrise shines on Zi Mo
The landing of Kaiyuan Hongmeng and the industrial practice of Shenkaihong have already left the stage of industrial conception and technology verification today, but have really moved to factories and fields, and to thousands of miles of China.
Here we can talk about two unexpected encounters between us and Open Source Hongmeng, and share with you the surprise of "So this problem is also solved by Kaihong".
Last summer, we participated in an activity of a large port on the construction of smart ports. We ran into two engineers who were conducting on-site testing of new equipment. One of them was from the port itself, and the other was from Shenzhen Kaihong.
According to reports, they are conducting equipment inspection and debugging based on the open source Hongmeng. Originally, this kind of inspection required the inspectors to use their mobile phones to call up the APP to frequently take pictures of the equipment during late-night inspections, and often encountered problems such as poor signal at the dock, which was very inconvenient; on the other hand, the inspection APP was installed on personal mobile phones In addition, it also brings hidden dangers to data security. Based on the open-source Hongmeng device detection solution, it reads the data of the device to be inspected at a touch, and automatically completes the inspection process, which not only improves inspection efficiency, reduces operating costs, but also improves data security and accuracy.
At the current stage, Shenzhen Kaihong has explored a systematic smart port solution. For example, on the port spreader, the smart brain of the port can be formed based on KaihongOS, so that the state of the spreader itself can be remotely controlled, which is clear at a glance.
Another time, we visited a construction unit of a highway in the west. They said something like this: In order to save electricity, some high-speed tunnels with less traffic had to hire old people from nearby rural areas to guard them, and turned off the lights when there was no traffic. And they are wondering whether they can use the open source Hongmeng to solve this problem and more intelligent needs in the tunnel.
The so-called road digitalization looks at the tunnel. The digital tunnel scene created by Shenkaihong and Jiangxi Communications integrates the KaihongOS system self-organizing network, emergency handling capabilities, and local closed-loop capabilities into tunnel management, realizing the connection of originally independent sensors and tunnel alarms. The accuracy rate is doubled.
Facing the future, Wang Chenglu believes that the main challenge for the promotion of open source Hongmeng and its promotion of the construction of digital China lies in talents. He said: "The challenge is not in technology, not in solutions, but in our lack of talents. I think talents are the most important factor for ecological development. Important challenges. The technology itself has no challenges, and it is basically solved.”
In order to solve this challenge, Shenkaihong vigorously covers the complete education chain of primary and secondary schools, academic universities, application-oriented universities and vocational higher education. Shenkaihong takes the integration of industry, education and research as the path, and provides a theoretical basis for the cultivation of high-tech talents through various methods such as joint preparation of open source Hongmeng textbooks, teaching, and cooperative education with colleges and universities such as Beijing Institute of Technology, Dalian Institute of Technology, and Shenzhen Information Technology; Juhe and Dianmao Technology jointly create open-source Hongmeng educational robots and course training to promote the development of open-source Hongmeng technology quality education.
From many perspectives, the open source Hongmeng is being built as an important base and development engine for Digital China. Its unique technology, industry, and ecological value will promote the high-quality development of Digital China, and the huge opportunities brought by Digital China will also nurture the cause of Kaiyuan Hongmeng, and drive Kaiyuan Hongmeng to thrive with strong demand.
Wang Chenglu believes that China is ushering in an excellent historical opportunity for the development of Kaiyuan Hongmeng. If there is a new ecosystem in the world, it must be in China.
The dark cloud of anti-globalization will eventually be dispelled, and the problem of the digital divide will eventually be answered. Digital China, open to the future.
