Can You Make A Nuclear Weapons Too?

Chapter 12

Can you make nuclear weapons too?

“What are you talking about? Why don’t you develop it and then sell it?”

Hee-won looked at me as if embarrassed.

“At least we don’t sell it to our neighbors. The reason they want tantalum micro-coating technology is that they are trying to improve the barrel to increase the rate of fire of self-propelled guns. You can’t give such important skills to places you never know when they will turn into enemies.”

“Yumma! Do you know what the offered amount was? 10 billion, 10 billion.”

“Even if it’s not them, there are plenty of places that will give you that much money. Damn it, but this was close.”

“what?”

“I never thought that China or Japan would be interested in the technology already.”

It was in the early 2000s that they initially attempted to develop their own self-propelled gun barrel coating technology.

In the case of China, the attempt was focused on stealing German technology, which had been successfully developed since then, Japan’s approach was close, but as a result, it still failed.

But more importantly, the fact that now is 1998.

In other words, it happened three years before history.

Maybe my regression caused something like a butterfly effect?

If so, there is no law to prevent this from happening again in the future, so I was impatient.

“It would be better to have the material development a little faster. Researchers, give me a whip and speed up the work in progress.”

Heewon frowned at those words.

At least it’s time for another lament.

He suddenly held out a bankbook and covered his mouth.

“A bonus of 100 million won will be paid unconditionally to the team that advances the research result by even one day from the scheduled date. As you said, I provided the core source anyway, so it shouldn’t be difficult.”

“Oh shit!”

Heewon quickly accepted the bankbook as if it had ever been.

As he was about to turn around with a smile, he suddenly mentioned the famous professor.

“By the way, Professor Myung is really not going to invite us to our institute?”

“He must remain in Thales.”

“why not? If he had him, he would speed up his development no joke. He said that to be honest, but I don’t hate Professor Myung that much either.”

“Not because of you, but because he needs to be there so I can control Thales. Anyway, I’m going.”

“Where are you going?”

“Now that the fruits have come to fruition, it is not necessary to prepare for production soon.”

“Are you going to produce this through Thales?”

That was natural.

In the beginning, the material development was done by my lab.

And because it was my principle that production was done by Thales.

One thing that bothers me is the fact that this will reveal the existence of the institute.

After all, the excuse for technology was one of the purposes of the establishment of the research institute, so that may have been a good thing.

“Hey, wouldn’t it be better for us to just find the manufacturer separately? Do you think it will only reduce profits if we leave it to Thales?”

“No, Thales is the best for moving according to my taste. And there is no other place in Korea with such a complete production facility as Thales.”

Heewon, who had a shaky expression on her face, left behind and got into the car.

I said so, but the thought of meeting Chairman Jin already hurts my head.

From announcing the existence of a research institute to negotiating a profit-sharing ratio.

‘Secondly, it is a matter of restoring the relationship with Samjung Electronics.’

In retrospect, that was the most important reason to visit Chairman Jin.

It’s just a matter of producing the developed material anyway. Even if the cooperation with Thales breaks down, it’s just a matter of choosing another company.

However, in this era, Samjeong Electronics is the only company that can reliably supply MEMS-based sensor modules while being miniaturized enough to fit into a small shell.

Damn, the problem is that ‘Techwin’, a defense company affiliated with Samjong Group, and our ‘Jaewoo Defense’ have become entrenched in the process of attracting the new self-propelled artillery development project.

In conclusion, it is said that the development of smart cannonballs will be crossed if the relationship is not resolved somehow.

‘No, it’s not just the shells that are the problem, my whole plan in the future may be blown away…’

***

“What are you talking about? There is something difficult about us with the Samjong Group.”

“·················ogue.”

Chairman Jin, who visited after a while, overshadowed my serious concerns.

What’s with all these nonsense?

Embarrassed, he even brought out words that could be a thorn in his mind.

“Then you are saying that your father is still interacting with Chairman Lee Yong-moon even when the K9 development business rights have been transferred to Samjeong?”

“That’s what business is all about. It may seem silly to you guys who fight over a candy and then get to know each other quickly, but keep in mind that it’s actually the best thing you can learn as an entrepreneur.”

who doesn’t know that

The only problem is that the K9 development license is not just candy.

There are no permanent enemies or allies in front of money.

It seems that those words were the eternal truth.

“Then when can you arrange a meeting?”

“Anyway, we had an appointment to have dinner together sooner or later. Seriously, come to think of it, I think the day you made that appointment was the day you had an argument with Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Han Dong-hoon?”

“Then, was the person on the phone with your father Lee Yong-moon, chairman of Samjong Group?”

“Okay, but why do you have to borrow Samjeong’s power?”

“Ah, that’s…”

It was followed by an explanation of the ‘Smart Cannonball’ that was developed with a sudden awakening.

Self-propelled shells with an effective range of more than 150 kilometers.

About a monster that can accurately guide with GPS as well as an inertial navigation system and a terrain tracking sensor.

Perhaps it was absurd, Chairman Jin, who had been listening the whole time, finally smirked.

“Is that a missile or a shell?”

“That is the advantage. Isn’t it just a situation where only shells can cope with short-range missiles that cost at least 1 billion per shot?”

“How much do you expect to deliver?”

“The maximum is 45 million won per foot.”

“A shell is worth 45 million won?”

“You have to think about the unit price of the precision parts that go into it.”

“That’s it… but why would the army need such expensive shells?”

“It is a means to counter the North Korean coastal artillery. And also the long-range artillery guns that are buried in the caves in the front area. When this develops, they won’t even be able to crawl out.”

“Hmm, but high precision can be a double-edged sword. This means that the military may not place large orders because the quantity of ammunition consumed will also decrease. Do you know that there will be a situation where we won’t even be able to even get the development cost?”

“If only the army used it, it would be. However, it can be upgraded with 127mm gun shells, so it can cope with the Navy’s short-range surface-to-ground and surface-to-ship missiles.”

“To the Navy?”

“That’s right. The more hopeful news is that once it is developed, it will be welcomed by the U.S. Navy.”

In fact, the U.S. Navy will spend as much as two trillion dollars to develop the 127mm precision-guided warship shells.

However, it will eventually fail.

The reason is that the precision instruments in the shell were completely consumed by the muzzle pressure of 20,000 G.

I have already developed a ‘nanowire shock absorber’ that will be the answer.

no, where is that?

From a new charge capable of realizing a muzzle speed up to three times the speed of sound, and gunpowder with explosive power several times that of the existing one.

In other words, the conditions for the U.S. Navy of this era to attack with their eyes closed are all in place.

“If the US military is interested, then there is no need to worry about the balance sheet. But do we have the capacity to develop such a great thing?”

“Actually, it’s almost as if it’s already half-finished. This is because the development of core materials has already been completed. The only remaining task is to design and manufacture precision electronic components, so Samjeong is needed.”

In an instant, Chairman Jin’s chin dropped.

He looked at me with meaningful eyes for a long time to figure out what he was thinking, and then he suddenly said something out of the ordinary.

“I’ve never heard of Thales developing a special material recently… Is that the work of your lab?”

“·················ogue.”

She doubted her ears for a moment.

Am I correct what I heard?

I think he said, ‘Is it your work?’ rather than ‘Is it your work?’

It is questionable why such a word suddenly came out in a situation where no one had even spoken about the existence of the research institute at any one time or any other time. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

“Did you know that I founded the lab?”

“Of course not.”

Chairman Jin said with a snort.

“Did you do a background check?”

“What is the background check? I heard the news that all the bonds I gave to your mother in the past had been turned into cash, so I was curious and did some research. Honestly, there’s no reason for you to need that much money.”

In fact, I thought that if the bonds were sorted out, the news would be heard in Chairman Jin’s ears.

I just never thought I’d find out so quickly.

The curious thing is, why didn’t he say a word even after hearing the news right away?

“Then why did you pretend you didn’t know?”

“Well, I guess I was wondering what you were going to do with the lab? But now that I look at it, it seems that the answer is roughly the same.”

“·················ogue.”

“Isn’t it your intention to provide Thales with the things developed in your lab like now and make money?”

He was looking through quite a bit.

More than that, until he understands my intentions.

But if this is the case, wouldn’t it have saved me a lot of trouble?

I already know the existence of the lab, so I don’t need to explain it.

From the tone of voice, I don’t think it’s very negative for my lab and Thales to form a cooperative relationship.

“Why?”

At that time, Chairman Jin spit out a question that had no meaning.

As he tilted his head, he continued to ask the question again with a hardened expression on his face.

“You’re asking why you want to make money doing that.”

From the look on his face, it seemed like a question he already knew the answer to.

A clumsy excuse would be very poisonous.

He spoke as if announcing to him who was waiting for an answer with his eyes shining as if he was about to eat it.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“I plan to increase my stake in Thales.”

“·················ogue.”

For a moment, he was silent with a subtle expression on his face.

It seems like he intended not to show his insides, but that didn’t mean it was negative.

If you really didn’t like my plan, I would have expressed anger, not silence.

“Let’s arrange a meeting with Chairman Lee Yong-moon as soon as possible.”

Chairman Jin slowly stood up from his seat and spoke.

I wanted to go straight into the room, but suddenly turned around and stared at me.

“Do you have anything to say?”

“Come to think of it, it seems that the profit sharing ratio between your research institute and Thales has not been decided yet. I don’t think you’re trying to devour the bottom line against Abby, are you?”

“I plan to receive 30% of the operating profit.”

“Are you going to take 30 percent? A subject that only offers technology?”

Chairman Jin showed a surprised expression on his face.

He slapped the player, hoping that more negative words might come out.

“Instead, we give you exclusive rights in the production of materials related to weapons.”

“·················ogue.”

Maybe that’s enough compensation for that.

If you have the exclusive right, you can set the price according to your taste.

In addition, it would not be a big blow to take off about 30% of the material since it means that we have a weapon that is not pushed at all in negotiations with other companies that will be supplied with the materials produced in the near future. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

“It’s like an evil bastard.”

With those words, the answer was as if he had heard it.

Maybe he wasn’t particularly dissatisfied, but as he turned around, there was a glimpse of a smile on the face of Chairman Jin.

“From next week, make sure to attend the group executive meeting held every Wednesday. On behalf of Thales.”

“Am I?”

Asking me to attend the group executive meeting meant that I was being treated as an executive.

Of course, although the position of the head of policy was initially at the senior level, it was not clearly recognized as an executive within the group.

But now it seemed to mean that he was going to do it for sure.

“Okay.”

He had no reason to refuse, so he immediately agreed.

As I was about to stand up with the documents I had brought, he who was still looking at me opened his mouth again.

“Do whatever it takes. Because I have no memory of choosing the owner of Thales yet.”

“·················ogue.”
