Chapter 74

“Hello, Chairman.”

On January 29, 2001, before Putin, a welcome visitor came to the headquarters.

Choi In-bae, who had been dispatched to the Suhoi Design Bureau, has finally returned.

His return to Korea was delayed by several months, so he was struggling inside.

“Your face is very burnt.”

“That’s it. It was also the first time I ever knew that sunlight reflected off my eyes could burn my face.”

He didn’t seem to have changed much, other than that he had become quite dark.

When asked why his comeback was delayed by several months than planned, his eyes twinkle.

“It was late because I thought that if possible, he would have to pull out as much as he could and eat what he could eat.”

“So, have you had any success?”

“It is not without it. About three months ago, it was to the extent that they could not get out of the swamp of the algorithm I composed.”

As I already knew his skills to some extent, I could be sure that those words were not mere bluffs.

Since he was already suffering from a shortage of manpower, his return is like gaining a thousand horses.

I headed to my desk to get what I had prepared for the day, and he tilted his head at my sudden action.

“What is it?”

Choi In-bae looked at the hard disk I took out of the desk drawer with puzzled eyes.

I silently hooked it up to my desktop and gestured to him, and he approached me with a bewildered gesture.

“Take a look.”

With those words, Inbae Choi opened the file.

A huge amount of source codes embroidered the main look screen along with the running of the connected program.

Surprised, he looked around the work line for a while, and then looked at me with eyes that had become the size of a candle.

“This······.”

What he was looking at was KFX’s weapon control, and some source code of the mission computer.

At one time, the United States had so refused to relocate.

But in the end, the combat systems made by our hands.

I plan to recapture the battle system of our platform that has been expanded more than before by merging it with Russian software technology, and for that, the time has come to reveal this to Inbae Choi.

“No matter how you look at it, it looks like the source code algorithm of American fighters, where did you come from?”

In fact, it is difficult for me to answer that part.

The theory is that KAI originally developed the FA-50 based on the know-how it developed.

The development speed was too fast to be based solely on that.

At one time, I was surprised by the astonishing speed of software development and asked government officials several times, but I never received a cool answer.

“I can’t even give you an answer to that question.”

It was around the time when KFX started the development of batch 2 that it got its own answer.

To be precise, the day I saw the news that a Korean businessman who served more than three years in prison for espionage in the United States was released after serving his sentence.

The moment I saw his familiar face reflected on the TV screen at the time, I was convinced that he was a clue to the rapid development of KFX software.

‘Is your name Shin-Shi Kim?’

The first time I saw him was around 2010.

At that time, I went to KAI with the ADD director because I had business to do, and I was introduced to him, and we continued to exchange for a while.

According to what I heard at the time, he was once a veteran software developer who had worked for over 10 years at Nokid in the United States. It was interesting to me that he was in charge of the F22 fighter development project at the time.

‘Of course, I could be wrong, but the circumstances at the time were too clear.’

If not, wouldn’t he have no reason to suddenly be accused of espionage in the United States, who had been completely immersed in the drone business?

Of course, the sentence was quite low for a spy, but it can be inferred that it was the result of a legal back-and-forth transaction.

acquiesce to the charges and lowers the sentence. something like that

At that time, the problem arose and relations with the United States became uncomfortable, and there were rumors of some kind of transaction between the governments after that, so my thinking is not entirely wrong.

“Anyway, this will help you a lot,”

“Yes, I will do my best.”

Choi In-bae picked up the hard disk with a determined expression on his face.

The number of security guards following him as he turns around is three.

It was the result of assigning some of the security personnel of the newly organized security company to ensure his safety, but fortunately he did not show much objection.

“Hey, there must have been nothing to call Natasha in the meantime, right?”

A sudden thought came to my mind and I said to him.

After thinking deeply for a while, he responds with an awkward smile.

“She didn’t have to call herself, but I’ve seen the face of her woman named Natasha.”

“Did you meet her?”

“Yeah, I don’t know why she visited the design bureau at the time, but she did say that the whole design bureau was a bit noisy.”

As I listened to the story, it seemed that something I didn’t know had happened.

For example, where did you send another ganja?

Nevertheless, the fact that the Russian authorities did not inform me is probably one of the two cases.

Either it was a level issue that wasn’t worth worrying about, or it was to protect my pride.

‘The latter is more likely.’

******

Beep Baba Bam!

February 18th.

Putin, who took office as president, has finally arrived in Korea.

The person who will rule Russia for over 20 years.

As if he knew it, his steps as he got off the plane were daunting.

chuckle!

The first to meet him were the President and the First Lady.

The two leaders, who smiled brightly at each other, held hands and talked for a while, then got on the protocol vehicle and headed for the Blue House.

“We are leaving too.”

At Putin’s request, I attended the event from the first day and followed the procession in the car of the head of the National Intelligence Service.

Afterwards, we arrived at the Blue House guesthouse.

After another ceremonial ceremony, the two leaders had a brief chat in the flashlight of reporters, and then went inside for a pre-meeting.

“I think we can go to the banquet in advance.”

Looking back at the atmosphere, I didn’t think there was any need to watch the process of the talks.

As if thinking the same thing, the head of the National Intelligence Service nodded, and as I was about to go to the place where the dinner was scheduled, the chief of staff suddenly rushed to me and motioned for me.

“Chairman Hyunseung Jin. I think you should go inside for a while.”

“Am I?”

I asked curiously.

Right now, there is a situation where key government officials and the president are holding a joint meeting with the Russian delegation.

I can’t think of any reason to call me.

“Welcome, Chairman Jin.”

The atmosphere of the conference hall I entered was different from what I expected.

Where did all those ministers go, the President and Putin. And only interpreters and security personnel were there.

It feels like there are some secret conversations going on.

[Long time no see, Chairman Jin.]

Seeing me, Putin jumps up from his seat and spreads his arms.

People’s eyes widen all at once at his attitude, as if he had met a good friend again.

I can’t see with those eyes, these people.

Me and he only went salmon fishing once.

After all, there are rumors that he was the only one who suggested salmon fishing.

[Sit down. Actually, I had to negotiate with Chairman Jin, so I asked the president for a little understanding.]

At those words, he glanced at the president.

What kind of conversation was coming and going, I can feel the president’s face is in a state of excitement.

[If you are going to discuss with me separately…][A little while ago, I suggested to the President that Russia and the Jaewoo group jointly develop supersonic anti-ship missiles.][··········.]

I was momentarily confused.

Historically, it should be India, not us, that Russia jointly develops supersonic anti-ship missiles.

aka Yahont.

Or something called Bramos.

It’s history to be deployed around 2002, so by now the development must have been progressing to some extent.

I don’t know why you’re suddenly offering it to us.

[Is there any special reason for choosing Jaewoo?]

Putin smiled faintly at the question.

It was as if he knew the question would come up.

Soon after, he opened his mouth with a meaningful expression on the tea in front of him with a sip.

[Actually, we are already developing supersonic anti-ship missiles with India. However, one variable has arisen, and in the end, joint development with India has been put on hold for a while.][··········.]

I didn’t have to ask what the variable was.

It was an atmosphere that would come out soon without me asking any questions.

Unsurprisingly, he continued his speech with a fishy smile.

[Did you know that we are developing a hypersonic cruise missile?]

yes of course i knew

Ever since they rushed to death to get the atomic spin gyro.

But why are you bringing up that story all of a sudden?

Even if it’s an open secret, is it okay to just expose it in a place like this?

[I was just guessing, but…][Actually, the circumstances were so clear. Anyway, I’ve been thinking about applying that hypersonic cruise missile technology to anti-ship missiles.][You mean anti-ship missiles? However, in the case of hypersonic speed, it is not easy to control unlike a supersonic missile.]

I immediately pointed out the shortcomings of hypersonic cruise missiles.



Precise control is impossible due to excessively high speed.

But maybe I’ve done something wrong, Putin’s eyes widened.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

[You sound like someone who has participated in the development.]

It is true that I have been involved in development.

At one time, when we started developing our own technology after receiving Russian technology.

But in the end, I returned without seeing the end, and as a result, hypersonic technology had only a small portion of it.

[Isn’t it common sense that the control ability of a missile is inversely proportional to its speed?]

I looked into his eyes as he nodded.

As if thinking that it was quite possible, he smirked and continued talking again.

[It is true that control is not easy as President Jin said. Especially in the final stage, there are more than one or two hurdles to overcome in order to be able to sea skimming. That’s why I’m suggesting joint development with Jaewoo, isn’t it?]

After hearing those words, my eyes were even more gloomy.

Needing to use sea skimming in the apocalyptic stage with a hypersonic missile.

In the end, it seems to insist on the scramjet method rather than the glide body method.

That yangban seems to know that Jae-woo is torturing even an alien.

[It is difficult to use sea skimming at hypersonic speed. Aside from the impossibility of precise control, if you fly low over the sea at that speed, the frictional heat of the air reflected back on the water will be enormous.][So it’s not that Jaewoo’s technical skills are needed.]

I was silent because I didn’t have anything to say about his demeanor, as if to rush.

Then all of a sudden, the thought that comes to me is the reckless spirit of challenge.

If nothing else, it’s the missile’s heat-resistant technology. I thought it could be covered with the materials we’re developing.

[Hmm······.]

No, when I think about it, we have quite a lot of things.

As well as the performance of the AESA to be built-in. Terrain contrast sensor technology and precision control technology have already been recognized as the world’s best in 2025.

Well, there are other problems, but those are the things that could be solved if cooperation with Russia, a missile powerhouse, is done properly.

[For the Republic of Korea, which has a weak naval power, if it is developed, it will be a big help, right?]

He spat out words as if to appease a child.

And unfortunately, I agree with that.

In fact, weapons such as hypersonic anti-ship missiles are essential weapons for us, who have a weak naval power right now.

Otherwise, there is no way to deter Japan, which has several Aegis ships, or China, which is developing dramatically in the future.

But can we secure an asymmetric weapon powerful enough to sink even an aircraft carrier?

Then, for us, it is as good as getting thousands of horses.

Whoops.

I looked at the president again.

It was just a conversation with eyes, but it was possible to guess what each other wanted to say.

As soon as he nodded his head, he spat out an answer.

[I do. Crazy.]

Can you make nuclear weapons too?-75
