Before the bright light of the nuclear explosion dissipated, Shen Jinbing fell back to 1989 with the fragments of the future chip. In this era when color TVs are scarce, he vowed: "We will make Chinese science and technology puzzles ourselves!"
In the village-run factory, he was ridiculed for drawing a VCD circuit on a cigarette box, but he built the first independent video disc player at a cost that was 60% lower than that of Sony.
In the era of pagers, imported chips were disassembled and reverse-engineered to develop domestic basebands; in the mobile phone battlefield, independent systems were developed using calculators, allowing the proportion of domestically produced machines in Huaqiangbei to soar from 3% to 67%.
When the Dutch manufacturer broke the contract with the lithography machine, he led his team to manually calibrate the lens and control the lens error to 0.001 Micron to create a "Chinese Core" 7-nanometer lithography machine.
Since then, Beidou chips and new energy vehicle algorithms have had his mark. This is not cheating, it is a feat of scientists using science and technology to build the backbone of the nation.
