Can You Make A Nuclear Weapons Too?

Can you make nuclear weapons too?-03

“While waiting, I saw the report from Thales. Coincidentally, I had a solution, so I wrote the proposal.”

Chairman Jin’s gaze went straight to his desk.

Was the document already reviewed?

His attention again turned to the proposal I had made.

“Is this true? 20% more penetrating than the US depleted uranium bomb?”

“That’s right.”

“Do you mean you know what this means? If the penetrating ability is increased by 20%, all existing tanks will be scrap metal.”

“Do I not know that? One more thing to keep in mind is that the production cost is also lower than that of conventional tungsten bullets.”

“crazy! Is it possible to do that simply by changing the material?”

“It is not as simple as it sounds. When the material changes, the multi-sintering method must also be improved. That’s the point.”

“·················ogue.”

Chairman Jin had a blank expression on his face.

The moment I thought this was the expected reaction, he stared at me out of nowhere.

“Are you even doing technology theft now?”

“What do you mean all of a sudden?”

“What are you pretending not to know? Do you think I don’t know that you’ve been traveling abroad for a while on business trips? Wouldn’t the conclusion be obvious if we put out alloy technology that was not even possible except in Germany in that field?”

It was a fact that I couldn’t remember that Hyunseung had been to overseas.

No, it’s so messed up that maybe I haven’t been able to figure it out.

Even so, there is nothing to say other than that Chairman Jin, who only regards his children as those who do industrial espionage, is amazing.

“You seem to have a misunderstanding, but I am not capable of doing that. Moreover, the approach itself is different from the German method.”

“·················ogue.”

It was an unbelievable look in the end.

There’s only one way to prove it.

Just then, a fax machine next to Chairman Jin’s desk caught my eye.

“Okay then, let’s send this to the Thales lab. The senior researchers there will be able to tell whether this is the German way or not.”

Chairman Jin just watched my actions silently.

After confirming that the fax was sent successfully, he called the secretary through the intercom.

“Myungseung-eun of the Thales Research Institute tells the director to check the fax I just sent. We will review it as soon as possible and call you back.”

“Who are you?”

It was a familiar name for some reason, so I secretly raised my voice.

Chairman Jin tilted his head and waved his hand as if to rush towards the secretary and looked at me again.

“Why are you so surprised? Did your master make you feel uneasy because he was doing the verification himself?”

Again, it didn’t sound like I was wrong.

But why?

According to history, my teacher who devoted all of his life to research at KAIST. No, it is questionable why Hyunseung and my teacher belong to Thales in such a strange way.

“When did Professor Myung move to Thales?”

“What kind of sleeper banging sound? After you did it like you were half-forced three years ago.”

As one of the chains of memories gathered in an instant, some scenes flashed through my mind.

3 years ago from now.

The figure of the man who tried to recruit Professor Myung even on his knees.

It seems that he wanted to raise his humble base by doing that, but for me, his desperate struggle was a pity.

“But why the historian…….”

I looked at the president, who was stricken.

The eyes that looked at me as if in doubt about my muttering alone were quite bitter.

“Are you even dealing with drugs these days?”

“Is it possible?”

“Then why do you remember what you did? Well, anyway, Director Myung Seung-eun will determine whether your words are true or not.”

After that, there was silence between Chairman Jin and me.

The awkwardness of a broken father and son relationship.

After about 40 minutes, the secretarial staff finally opened the door and entered.

“President! Myungseung-eun has asked for a phone call.”

At the secretary’s message, Chairman Jin immediately headed to the desk.

Although his words were thin, the expression on his face showed expectations.

In that respect, it seems that he has not yet completely pushed Hyunseung away from his heart.

“······is it. I see. okay. Don’t ask me that. Director Myung From your point of view… No, so what is the conclusion?”

Chairman Jin glanced at me throughout the conversation.

He soon hung up the phone and was convinced that his face had been framed as he approached.

“Do you know how things are going? Where the hell did you get this?”

“It was one of the research projects that I had been working on by renting a research institute on campus with my classmates.”

“Did you develop this?”

Unbelief was hardly ever dispelled.

Even though he must have known what level Hyun Seung-yi was as an engineer.

That is why trust, once broken, is difficult to restore.

“Did your father forget that I finished my PhD in metallurgy?”

“Who doesn’t know that? But they say that’s a way that even your master never thought of.”

“Just because Professor Myung couldn’t think of it, there is no law that says I shouldn’t. It is a pretentious saying, but in the age of knowledge leveling, the development of new technologies is largely driven by creativity.”

“·················ogue.”

“Can’t you believe it? So, how would you explain the nano-chromium compound that I developed before Prof. Myung while I was at the Thales Institute?”

In fact, Seungyi Hyun was ahead of Professor Myung in some research projects.

He found it by chance while tracing his memory, and I thought it would be an appropriate means of protest in the current situation.

“This is the one…”

Chairman Jin tapped the armrest with his fingers.

how much time has passed

His mouth, which seemed like it would never open, slowly spit out words.

“So, what are you going to do?”

“What do you mean?”

“There’s no way I would have just put out such a big card, and there’s no way I’d want something else.”

That was natural.

However, in the current situation, we do not even have a sense of how far the acceptable range is.

“If the goal is to return to Thales again, I will do it. Instead, I cannot give you a position higher than the purchasing team leader.”

Fortunately, he first suggested a solid upper limit.

The problem is that the position of the purchasing team leader is in a position where he cannot be involved in the company’s policy direction at all.

It feels like the focus is off somehow.

“Please give me the position of the development team leader.”

“What do you want?”

Chairman Jin snorted as if there was no way.

Damn, I’d rather be independent than my nature, but it should be possible to build infrastructure for the military industry within a day or two.

manpower, equipment. and even capital.

More importantly, the main customer is the military, and it is virtually impossible for a newly established defense company to gain the military’s trust.

In other words, obtaining Thales at any cost is the fastest way to achieve my plan.

“Let me ask you why you want a development team leader. Honestly, from your point of view, the position of the purchasing team leader would be more appealing, wouldn’t it? That way, there will be some secrets to omit.”

“You are mistaken. If money had been the goal in the first place, I would have sold the technology elsewhere. If it was LIC Nexwin, I would have paid a pretty generous price.”

“·················ogue.”

In an instant, a sharp gaze flew away.

As he did not dodge until the end, his brow, which had been brimming with power, slowly loosened.

“What did you eat wrong this morning?”

“What are you talking about?”

“It’s not like you. Like staring straight into the eyes of Abby, whom she had been avoiding all her life, when was the last time you revealed your beliefs like now?”

“I almost died, but when I come back to life, it seems that I have grown up. Actually, I suddenly looked in the mirror and thought that I would feel dirty if I died like this.”

Chairman Jin let out a smirk.

I wonder if I felt that my answer, which was not poignant, was just nonsense, and suddenly my expression was more relaxed than before.

“Is it okay to take Thales’ insistence so far as to mean that you don’t care about your brother anymore?”

Hearing those words, another chain of his memory was unraveled.

Hyun-cheol Jin, the half-brother of Seung-yi Hyun and managing director of Thales.

And to Hyunseung, he was always like a thorn in his neck.

That’s right, he was in Thales.

“It doesn’t matter.”

He nodded and sip the car.

Even if it’s Hyunseung, there’s no reason for me to be afraid of him.

Perhaps it was an unexpected answer, Chairman Jin’s eyes twinkled.

“Okay, if you’re determined to do that, I’ll put myself under the rug and try to believe one more time.”

He spoke intently and immediately looked at the clock.

Now that the deal has been made, it means to go out.

Anyway, I have achieved my goal, so I do not intend to continue to be immersed in this uncomfortable atmosphere.

“Then I’ll clean up the surroundings.”

smart!

As I was about to get up, I heard a knock.

“I’m here, Father.”

The person who immediately opened the door and entered was none other than Jin Hyeon-cheol.

It was a face I wasn’t very familiar with, but oddly enough, I recognized him for a moment.

“It’s been a while.”

“Yeah, it’s been a while. Are you going to come back?”

“·················ogue.”

“I heard it while waiting outside the door. As you know, the soundproofing in your father’s office is a mess, isn’t it?”

“Well, in my experience, if you don’t put your ear to the door at all, no sound comes out, right?”

“Damn it, you’re still chasing. Anyway, congratulations Still, Thales has been struggling these days because there aren’t any talented people to use it.”

Contrary to the smile that seemed like a good person, the wrinkles under the eyes were very angry.

No matter how hard you try, you can’t hide your true feelings.

When was the last time you dealt with a guy like that?

I have a feeling that the future is going to be quite interesting.

“Then I’ll stop…”

***

“This is the last one. Boss.”

The week waiting for the appointment was almost like hell.

It is not easy to check the business status and financial statements of the entire large group, not even at a local mart.

Fortunately, I had the know-how accumulated through my experience in ADD, and if I had been in a position to not know anything about management, I would have gone back several times even if I turned my eyes.

“Good job, Secretary Kim. It’s good to just go to work.”

“The manager is still at work, but he can’t. Oh, I just checked, and in the first quarter of this year, the Jaewoo Group’s business ranking jumped to 27th.”

“This is not because the Jaewoo Group has grown, but because other companies that have not survived the unprecedented economic crisis have reduced their size.”

“Ah······.”

“I’m sorry, but if you’re not going to leave work, could you hand over some of the papers there?”

She rolled her eyes and handed her a bunch of papers.

Affiliate overview.

You’ll probably have to dig into this for a while to get some answers.

“Hmm······.”

At this time, the Jaewoo Group had only 7 affiliates.

If it was money, would it be said that it would be clearly differentiated from other large corporations that rushed in at random?

Moreover, considering that most of them are operating in the black even in these difficult times, it seems that Chairman Jin’s skills are exceptional.

“Excluding construction and medical foundations, distribution and security-related companies turned to black again in the first quarter of this year. Well, that’s okay, please separately select only those related to the defense affiliates of the Jaewoo Group.”

In fact, the trends of construction, distribution, and medical foundations were not very important to me.

Is it necessary to pay attention to defense and materials fields, where even if only one item is properly developed, added value can be created?

In particular, in the case of construction, which will become a hotbed of enormous corruption, and distribution, which is sensitive to economic changes, if I ascend to the position of chairman, it will be the number one priority.

“Here it is.”

The first documents that Secretary Kim brought in were those related to ‘Jaewoo Defense’.

It is one of the three major defense affiliates of the Jaewoo Group, and where Chairman Jin Hyun-pil is in charge of the actual control tower.

After all, it is a well-known fact that the main focus of defense is in the armored field such as tanks and self-propelled artillery.

What I was mainly interested in was how a company that made agricultural machinery was able to grow into a large heavy industry company in just 10 years.

“How many replacement mergers have you had?”

The results were surprising.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Five M&As.

Moreover, it is said that he absorbed a company that was bigger than him every time, but somehow it didn’t seem normal.

‘It seems that Chairman Jin’s lobbying ability was amazing.’

No matter how much I looked at it, I had no choice but to judge that the force of power overtook the laws of the capital market.

If the target of the merger was debt-ridden insolvent companies, most of them were just solid companies.

I can’t help but feel bitter about how important it is in the current situation.

“The following documents are related to Aerospace.”

“Thank you.”

Aerospace was an aviation-related company.

It was originally established for depot maintenance of fighters, but now it has grown into a company that licenses and produces engines for various aircraft.

If nothing happens, it is also a place that will become one of the key partners of the 4.5th generation fighter developed by Korea in the future.

“Whoa, is there only Thales left now?”

Thales is a company I will be working for soon, and it is a company that I must acquire first.

The biggest reason is that JAEUTALES is the core and holding company of the JAEWOO group.

In the end, if I take control of Thales, Defense and Aerospace will naturally fall into my hands, so that was my goal from the beginning.

“Where is the report on items under development?”

A second reason Thales was important was that the pipeline was huge.

It may be said that it is great to only produce shells, gunpowder, or other materials necessary for the production of weapons, but in fact, those foundations are an essential axis in the arms market and a huge growth engine.

“Wow! Sir, did you see this too? The sales of Thales are significantly higher than other places?”

“It is natural. Because weapons cannot be made without materials. Moreover, the added value of inorganic materials is enormous.”

“That’s why the manager was so insistent on Thales.”

It was a statement that she truly admired.

I was trying to flip it over and turn the page, but suddenly I noticed something a little unique in Thales’ financial statements. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

“Why is the amount Thales charged for R&D like this?”

“I was curious too, so I checked. This is because most of the recently ordered projects are government-led long-term projects.”

In other words, the goods have not been delivered yet, so the payment has not been received.

Since I didn’t receive the payment, of course I don’t have the money to invest in R&D.

Even so, there is a limit to developing new weapons with only 40 billion R&D investment.

‘No matter how you look at it, there doesn’t seem to be any place for big money to come in until at least half a year later. Ttt, if the situation is like this, does the success of the new AP projectile development in progress become more important than ever?’

Fortunately, tank shells are an item that can be mass-produced at the same time as development, so the turnover of funds is fast.

That means that the possibility of becoming a developer fund has increased in the end.

There is at least one more reason to make this project a success somehow.

“uh!”

Then, suddenly, Secretary Kim’s cell phone vibrated.

A bright smile is built towards me as soon as I press the call button.

He seemed to know the content without even having to listen.

“Chief! From tomorrow onwards…”

“You can tell just by looking at his face. Now Secretary Kim should be prepared. It will open the real door of suffering.”

“·················ogue.”
