Although Huawei designed its own chips, they still could not produce them. It turns out that China still can't rely on our own factories to produce chips.
In recent years, China has developed rapidly, almost every year differently. However, China's scientific and technological progress is still a bit slow. After all, the last time we heard about "China's own manufactured chips" was seventeen years ago.
Many netizens may remember that on February 26, 2003, the mainland made a historic breakthrough in chip research and development, and the nationally independently developed chip "Hanxin No. 1" was successful.
This is known as the use of international advanced 0.18 micron semiconductor process design,
This fingernail-sized chip contains 2.5 million devices and a 32-bit processing core.
Many people have high hopes for Chen Jin, and Chen Jin's performance is indeed satisfactory. In a very short time, he made a super-powerful chip. He named it "Hanxin No. 1", which excited all the Chinese. This first Chinese chip is much better than everyone thinks. It's small in size, but it can run at speeds of up to 2 trillion times per second. Even if it is placed internationally, it is slightly better than developed countries such as the United States. Just when China was excited about this, everyone suddenly discovered the secret hidden by this chip.
Chen Jin just hired someone to erase the logo on the surface of the chip, and with Chen Jin's "Hanxin" logo, his great invention was completed.
This kind of counterfeiting is a popular imitation of the cottage. Involving a wide range of fields, whether it is bags, clothes, jewelry, is China's popular cottage style the first of Chen Jin?
This "Hanxin No. 1" is not Chen Jin's work at all. Its original body is a chip made in the United States. Chen Jin earned an unexpected income while studying abroad. After returning to China, in order to obtain high research funds, he falsely claimed that he had developed a new chip. Then, he exchanged a tanuki cat for a prince, eliminating the American country of origin mark, so that the research department could not find Chen Jin's flaws at once. He also believed his lies and rewarded him with 1.1 billion.
Just when Chinese was proud of it, a basin of cold water was poured in: Chen Jin was fake! What "Hanxin No. 1", No. 2, No. 3 series, are just a gorgeous pretense. They are not his research results at all, but are copied and transformed from abroad. The most infuriating thing is that such a deceptive "chip" actually cost the country 1.1 billion!
After the incident was reported, the state quickly set up an investigation team to verify the fraud case. In the end, under the evaluation of many experts, "Hanxin No. 1" is indeed a chip produced by a company in the United States, and there are obvious polish marks on the surface. However, due to the complete legal procedures of Hanxin No. 1, Chen Jin could not be convicted at all.
Despite this, Shanghai Jiao Tong University revoked all honors and titles for Chen Jin and stopped his subsidies. But these punishments were painless for him.
To this day, Chen Jin is still at large, doing business with the money obtained from the fraud of Hanxin No. 1 in his early years. He has invested in a number of chip companies in the United States and makes a lot of money every year.
It is no exaggeration to say that the "Hanxin incident" had no other impact on his life except to damage his reputation, and he even lived better than most people. This is also the result of flaws in the legal process.
The research and development of original chips has always been a weak area in the mainland. When Chen Jin's "Hanxin No. 1" was successful, I thought I could be proud, but I didn't expect that Hanxin was an "American core"! This counterfeiting incident led to a 13-year hiatus in China's chip research and development.
Chen Jin's cottage incident also spread overseas, and China was ridiculed by many international peers.
At that time, many people thought that he would make outstanding contributions to the domestic chip field, but he deceived the people of the whole country, not only defrauding China's 1.1 billion scientific research funds, but also making China's chip field stagnate. Because a lot of money has been given to his team, many teams that are really engaged in chip research can't get research funds at all, which also makes China's chip field stagnate for 13 years. And this man has fled to the United States with impunity.
Throwing away such a high level of scientific research funding, the final result is a product that has existed for a long time, which is a great insult to the country. And at that time, the country was not rich, but it was willing to invest all its money in chip research, which consumed a lot of manpower and material resources. The last crook brought the entire chip industry to a standstill and infuriated.
And as we all know, Hanxin No. 1 took only more than a year from design to molding, while Motorola's chip was completed by hundreds of engineers in three years. It can be said that Chen Jin violated the expectations of the country and the people in this matter, making the proud Hanxin No. 1 a national shame.
The Chen Jin incident actually exposed many problems. Because Chinese are too eager to have their own chips, it is easy to blindly listen to the lies of others.
Chen Jin's ability to pursue fame and fortune to such an extreme is not his own "credit". There must have been a lot of people playing cover. It is precisely because there are too many people involved that Chen Jin has not been held accountable, but he cannot teach at Jiaotong University and has been deprived of the name of Yangtze River scholar.
Today, he is still him. Although he did not have the scenery of the past, he could live much better than the average person. It can also be seen from Chen Jin that a lie is a lie even if it is disguised. In the end, he's just a sensational clown.
The most serious consequence of this incident is not only the loss of hundreds of millions of funds in the country, but also the loss of face of China's manufacturing, and it is also a huge blow to the confidence in the development of China's chip industry.
Everyone is talking about the discoloration of the "core". When it comes to domestic chips, whether it is Hanxin or Loongson, it is always cynical and even directly criticized.
It takes a moment to lose trust, but it can take more than a decade to win back. In the matter of coring, it is not only trust that is affected.
Since this incident, the development of China's chip industry has slowed down, and the state's inspection of the chip industry has increased to prevent similar incidents from happening again. Many serious chip research projects have failed to pass scrutiny, and many R&D teams cannot continue without funding. As a result, the development of China's chip industry has been very slow for more than a decade, which is in response to the old saying: a grain of mouse spoils a pot of soup.
