What is the most shameful event in the history of science?
Chinese professor Chen Jin erased the Motorola chip trademark and falsely claimed that it was a new type of chip he had developed. Defrauded the state of 1.1 billion yuan in research funds.
Around 2003, China urgently needed to make breakthroughs in high-tech fields, including the independent research and development of high-performance chips. Taking advantage of this expectation of the state, Chen Jinjin has defrauded countless funds and honors, turning the "Hanxin No. 1" that should be proud of the Chinese people into a major scientific research fraud.
Chen Jin deceived everyone with fakes, but he himself has always been sober. He knew that he could not "develop" a chip, so he had an ugly and vulgar idea. At the beginning of the development, he took the opportunity to go to the United States and asked his former colleagues to download the source code of a chip from inside Motorola. He then packaged the source code as the source code of "Hanxin No. 1", but even if the source code was obtained illegally, the chip could not be used without authorization, or even the function demonstration could not be performed. Therefore, Chen Jin asked his brother to buy a batch of Motorola DSP56800 series chips in the United States. Chen Jin also found a migrant worker and used sandpaper to polish off the original Motorola logo on the chip. After polishing, Motorola chips re-labeled and became the "Hanxin" at the press conference.
The birth of "Hanxin" was even defined as "a milestone in the field of microelectronics in China" at that time, and Chen Jin, the "father of Hanxin", has since climbed to the peak of his life.
After the "Hanxin" counterfeiting incident subsided, Chen Jin was still involved in the chip industry and is still doing well. But people have left a name, Chen Jin was completely nailed to the column of shame, and it is precisely because of this fraud that the Chinese chip has directly stagnated so far....
