The people from Motorola actually came!
And the people from Motorola actually called the police!
Everyone remaining in the entire venue was stunned by this outcome, especially the reporters present, who all turned their cameras towards these people from Motorola.
"Sir, there might be a misunderstanding!" Chen Jin's expression began to show some tension. He had never expected people from Motorola to show up here; it was completely beyond his expectations.
"There is no misunderstanding. May I ask if the source code in this USB drive is the source code you used to drive the so-called Hanxin 1? After our testing, these programs are identical to our dsp56800e source code, with not even a single line of code differing," the Motorola representative asked straightforwardly in front of all the reporters.
"This is not my code. You are mistaken. You must be mistaken, or someone maliciously replaced my code!" Chen Jin stated calmly.
"We are very certain that this source code belongs to your company, because it is the source code from the special tools for Hanxin 1 that your company submitted to an expert professor for review, and which we extracted!" the other party said.
"Who?" Chen Jin asked instinctively, his face contorted.
These reviewing professors were all people Chen Jin had connections with and guaranteed would not cause any trouble. Yet, the code had leaked from them, and Chen Jin felt like killing someone on the spot.
"We apologize, but we have promised the other party to maintain confidentiality. However, we can assure you that this was obtained through legal means," the Motorola representative said.
"No, this is a malicious frame-up. I think someone must be jealous of my achievements and intentionally replaced the code I sent to a reviewer, who then transferred it to you, thereby framing me!" Chen Jin gritted his teeth and said.
"Oh, if that's the case, then Professor Chen, could you hand over the demonstration computer you were using for us to inspect? That was the computer you used for the demonstration just now, right? The source code used in it must be flawless. Just let us test it," the Motorola representative requested.
"No, this is a national secret, a research achievement developed by dozens of our researchers. We absolutely cannot let you inspect such confidential code. What if you steal my code!" Chen Jin refused immediately, and his reason was very legitimate and impeccable. Protecting the intellectual property of Chinese independent research and development was a matter of course.
However, the Motorola representative seemed to have anticipated this situation. He smiled slightly and said, "If that's the case, then Professor Chen, why don't you re-install the chip in your hand into the computer and then use this counterfeit source code that I have to drive it? See if it can make the chip work normally. Wouldn't that be crystal clear?"
"..." Chen Jin was instantly rendered speechless.
"I refuse!" Chen Jin said in a hoarse voice. "These are unreasonable demands, and I will absolutely not agree to such a thing!"
"That is your freedom!" the Motorola representative's expression remained unchanged, and he said very calmly, "We have already reported to the public security organs, and we have also lodged a protest through the embassy. Everything will be handed over to your public security organs and relevant departments for investigation. We will quietly await the investigation results."
"Mr. Chen, goodbye!"
After saying this, the Motorola representative left without hesitation. He came so quickly and left so swiftly, like a breeze brushing past, leaving no trace.
"Professor Chen!" the police also approached and said to Chen Jin, "Our police have decided to file a case for investigation, so we will be conducting some investigations on you recently. Please cooperate."
"Alright!" Chen Jin said through gritted teeth.
"Also, we hope to take some of the equipment from the scene back for investigation..."
"No, I am not yet a suspect. You have no right to search my belongings. Because of a few foreigners' words, you want to conduct such rude investigations on me, a Chinese scientific researcher?" Chen Jin roared angrily.
"Mr. Chen, please rest assured, we will not wrong a good person, nor will we let a bad person go. The reason we are conducting this investigation is not to prove to those foreigners that you are a criminal. On the contrary, we hope to prove that you are one of China's greatest scientists and show those foreigners that they are slandering you out of thin air, and that these chips were developed by you independently."
"Only by producing this investigation result can we openly tell those foreigners that they are slandering us, that they do not believe in our Chinese scientific research capabilities, that they have made a mistake, and that they need to apologize to us!" the leading police officer said very seriously.
This was the truth. He genuinely wanted to prove that the foreigners' report was false. However, based on his years of experience in handling cases and Chen Jin's reaction, this police officer felt immense pain because it almost indicated that Chen Jin was indeed falsifying things, or at least he was extremely guilty and nervous.
"Thank you, but there is a lot of confidential information here. We need to organize it before we can give it to you for investigation..." Chen Jin said.
"All right, we understand. We will communicate with you again after we have more detailed investigation results!" the police officer said decisively. He then took some photos of the scene and the equipment and left in the same manner.
However, at this moment, the atmosphere in the entire venue was very strange. Everyone was looking at Chen Jin, who appeared somewhat lost and stood there blankly.
"Everyone, please leave!" At this moment, Huang He stood up and took the initiative to dismiss the reporters on behalf of the now-distraught Chen Jin. Then, he patted Chen Jin's shoulder and said, "Professor Chen, please don't take these things to heart. I believe in you. Those are slanders against you by foreign reactionary organizations. You are real, and Hanxin 1 is also real!"
"..." Chen Jin's expression was very complicated. He looked at Huang He one last time, his lips trembling slightly, and then said, "Thank you, Mr. Huang."
"You're welcome. If you need anything in the future, feel free to find me. I also know some friends internationally. If these people continue to make unreasonable demands, we will sue them, even if we have to take it all the way to the International Court of Justice in The Hague to prove your innocence!" Huang He said excitedly, causing Chen Jin to shiver all over.
To go to the International Court of Justice in The Hague... Did he not think his life was long enough?
Huang He seemed completely oblivious to Chen Jin's inner turmoil. After continuously comforting Chen Jin, he left with a face full of concern.
And after the entire hall was empty, Chen Jin collapsed onto the ground. He understood that he probably wouldn't be able to get through this.
---
After Motorola filed the report, the relevant departments took it very seriously and immediately established an investigation team to conduct a more thorough investigation into the matter.
Chen Jin could have stopped the police earlier, but he couldn't stop the investigation team that was specifically formed for this incident. However, Chen Jin's actions were also quite swift. He immediately disposed of all potential evidence and managed to tidy up the research institute before the investigation team arrived.
This was Chen Jin's last desperate struggle.
But the first thing the investigation team asked Chen Jin was for a sample of Hanxin 1. They wanted to directly inspect Hanxin 1 and also disassemble the chip to inspect the wafer inside.
Concurrently, they also required the source code for Hanxin 1 and a comparison with the source code provided by Motorola. These were the two most crucial aspects. If Chen Jin could produce these things, then Motorola would have been filing a false report.
Unfortunately, Chen Jin could not produce these things. He only resisted, objected, and refused to cooperate with the investigation, attempting to delay the investigation's progress.
But it was all useless because the investigation team directly interrogated Chen Jin's students. These students did not have Chen Jin's excellent psychological fortitude and coping skills. Before the law, they confessed everything in less than a day.
Meanwhile, the media naturally also provided extensive coverage and sensationalized this event. Hanxin successfully garnered hundreds of times more attention than it did in history. Simultaneously, the media was divided into two factions. Some media believed that this was all a foreign conspiracy and that Professor Chen Jin had not faked anything because such falsification would be too foolish.
Of course, some media believed that the matter was true because foreigners were honest and trustworthy and would not lie.
Well, these logical arguments were a complete mess, but it didn't stop the media from arguing endlessly about it. All the common people were nervously awaiting the outcome of this matter. If it were proven that Chen Jin had lied this time, it would undoubtedly be a severe blow to all Chinese people and the entire Chinese chip industry.
Everyone expected that this matter would take one or two weeks to investigate before a final result could be reached. However, just three days after the news broke, someone made a startling discovery online.
This was the official website of a company called Shanghai Hanji.
It could be seen that this company was quite up-to-date with the times because, as a professional renovation company, it actually had its own official website, which was likely unique among renovation companies nationwide.
And as the company's official website homepage, it naturally had to showcase the important achievements the company had made in various projects.
Therefore, on the first page of the homepage, there was a news item: "The 'Hanxin 1' DSP chip, developed by the research team centered around Mr. Chen Jin, a 2003 Shanghai New Long March Shock Trooper and returned overseas scholar, was born in Shanghai... Leveraging its design experience and strength, Hanji undertook the task of 'product definition and styling design' for the industrial application of the DSP chip. High-tech products designed by Hanji Company will be launched in the market within the year."
Well, many people might not understand this passage.
However, if you click on this news, you can see an accompanying picture. The picture shows a renovation worker wearing a Shanghai Hanji work uniform, holding a piece of sandpaper in his right hand and a chip in his left hand, vigorously polishing it.
So, it turned out that the so-called "product definition and styling design" task for the industrial application of the DSP chip was to polish the surface of the chip and then change the logo!
[PS: This is real. This renovation company is real, and the announcement they made is also real. They actually put the news of polishing Hanxin 1 directly on their official website for promotion. The world is far more magical than you can imagine.]
