059 : It’s an honor to be with you

“Ah, old man. This is a big deal.”

Sambok quickly took out the jumper and wrapped it around Hwang. Coincidentally, there was a jumper that was rolling around in the office.

The trending business jumper is of good quality and very warm.

“Hehe, that’s our director. What’s going on?”

As Sambok helped him, old man Hwang fell to his knees.

It seemed that the tension was suddenly released.

“What is it? I catch a cold like this.”

“That is not important. Listen to me.”

“There is nothing more important than the body. Let’s go in.”

Sambok almost wrapped himself around Mr. Hwang and entered the factory.

Somehow, the inside of the factory was full of warm energy. Kim was blooming everywhere.

It felt like being inside a large fumigator.

“Old man, what the hell were you doing?”

“Don’t you see? it’s habit Wet, not dry!”

“to? Are you habitual? What is it?”

“listen. I did something that even a genius like President Woo could not have thought of. The answer was habit. The polymer won’t stick to the pipe if it’s exposed to steam. And if you exhale it into the water, it makes a thread. Polyurethane is made that way.”

I don’t know what it is, but I got a rough feeling.

Chemical fibers such as polyester pour pellets like grains of rice into the atmosphere, but polyurethane ejects them into water.

“You make yarn underwater.”

“Hehehe, it’s going to explode so damn it! I threw it into the water. Then what? Doesn’t this guy really change? The answer is to spray a bucket of water on a person and a person who generate heat.”

“Wow, you are truly a genius. No, how did you make such a genius discovery?”

“What does it matter? The important thing is that this is polyurethane.”

It is also possible to spin a thread underwater.

Well, if it’s a material that reacts explosively, it might react stably in water…

“Ah! don’t think! don’t think! I know what to do with that.”

Sambok shook his head wildly trying to complicate things.

Sambok’s head was on the verge of exploding just from what he was doing.

“Do you remember? Didn’t President Woo say he could flatten the noses of Japanese guys with just this?”

“It was. It means that if you coat it with polyurethane or something, you can make a breathable and waterproof fabric.”

Chan-soo was like that.

There are two types of breathable waterproof fabric.

One is that the existing nylon or polyester yarn can be coated with polyurethane to weave the fabric, or a new material called Cortex can be inserted between the existing fabrics.

Cortex was said to be a more advanced technology, but polyurethane would be much more money in terms of product variety.

“I’ll show you while I’m talking, so come here.”

“aaa, I don’t want to see it. I don’t have time for that now.”Read at readwn

Just because Sambok saw it, it was not possible to make a breathable and waterproof fabric right away.

I had to report to Chan-soo first, and either Chan-soo came or sent samples.

“Write, come here.”

Hwang led Sambok further into the factory. It was a place where others were forbidden to enter.

“Ooh… ooh… Waaa…”

Sambok unknowingly spat out an exclamation.

Polyurethane, which I had heard was silver, was oozing with a golden hue.

The color just came out with a ‘wow’ sound.

“How is he not a nice guy? I wanted to show you this sight.”

“Is polyurethane originally golden?”

“What are you talking about? It’s silvery and transparent. It’s just because the catalyst is buried. You can peel it off like this.”

“A catalyst?”

“Yes, the aramid that President Woo told me to try? Amarid? It’s a catalyst for something. This substance is needed to make polyurethane.”

When Old Man Huang rubbed the golden thread with his hand, the silver thread was indeed revealed.

It was like peeling a thin wire.

“Wow! The golden skin is tougher than I thought.”

“Isn’t this the reason President Woo said polyurethane was difficult to make? I think I’ve done enough. It’s a way to peel it off. When President Woo comes, he’ll find it somehow. Then the breathable and waterproof fabric will come soon, and the Japanese guys will win, so it won’t be a problem.”

Old Man Hwang touched the golden thread with a thrilling gaze.

That’s right, when Chansu comes, I’ll make it right away.

Polytec is also selling like crazy, but how well will it sell if it is breathable and waterproof?

Then, where will the facilities be expanded, 2nd and 3rd factories? By what percentage will sales increase? The thought bites its tail.

‘… Ah! What am I thinking? stop thinking! you stupid!’

Sambok started banging his head.

Things were snowballing.

“Yeah, the idea of beating the Japanese guys must be confusing. I understand. I fully understand.”

“No, not that.”

“Go to Vietnam and bring President Woo. Let’s make some money with this.”

“Grandfather, Chan-soo must be out of his mind right now. It is difficult right now.”

“Even if it’s hard, you have to come. Then the Japanese will catch you and eat you again.”

“Yes? Are you getting eaten?”

Sambok tilted his head at Mr. Hwang’s sudden remark. There are still five months left before Chan-soo returns.

“Look at the country going back. You said you reestablished diplomatic ties with the Japanese guys.”

“Sir, it can’t be helped. Diplomacy…”

Sambok is also in a bad mood, but that doesn’t mean we can’t stop maintaining diplomatic ties between Korea and Japan.

To be honest, even now, when exporting to Southeast Asia, they are shipped from Busan to Japan, and there they transfer to a larger ship to leave.

Most of these and other subsidiary materials are made in Japan, and even Karl Mayer equipment is brought in by Japanese ship.

“They will try to trick you into making a fertilizer plant or a steel plant if you establish diplomatic ties, but that’s their trick. They pretend to help on the outside and suck blood behind their backs. They only want to rob us. They’re not the kind of people who can get along with each other. never! never!”

Old Man Hwang trembled as if he was jittery just thinking about it.

“Grandfather, negotiations on Korea-Japan diplomatic ties have already been completed.”

“No, it’s not over yet. It’s too early to give up!”

Old Man Hwang opened his eyes and threatened Sambok.

To him, Japan’s existence was an object of hatred, fear, and revenge.

“Sir…”

“President Woo will understand what I say. Protecting our land is a thousand times more important than protecting Vietnam. I’m sure you’ll win With this.”

Old Man Hwang rolled up golden polyurethane with his bare hands and placed it on Sambok’s arm.

It was like hot noodles that had just been boiled.

It was obviously hot, but strangely not hot.

“Chansu didn’t go to protect Vietnam, but the Blue House forced him… Mr.

Chan-soo could not bear to say that he did not go to protect Vietnam, but to earn money.

Sambok’s heart also trembled.

“Bring boss Woo. You can bring it.”

Sambok nodded involuntarily.

You made such an important top-secret material, but who else reports it?

It’s not something you can report by telex.

You don’t have to see it with your own eyes.

You can’t tell Chansu to come back and watch it!

Above all, on the way to Vietnam, wouldn’t I be able to sleep for a week day and night?

Can’t you work on a boat!

“I also wanted to eat some foreign food.”

“Are you going? Are you going?”

“I have to go, someone told me to.”

“Eolsoo! You’re cool~ It’s good~ That Numa is coming~ Ulsu~”

Old Man Hwang danced on the spot.

Sambok took off his work clothes and put them on Hwang, who was dancing, and left.

office

“Miss Kim.”

“Yes, sir.”

“I will go to Jinhae and take the LST to Vietnam. So, get your passport and visa. Distribute my duties to each chief in moderation. Oh, and report major business progress by telex every day.”

“Director! How can I…”

“If you do that, Miss Kim will be the chief from today.”

“No problem! Bye.”

Miss Kim, who jumped up to argue, bowed 90 degrees.

The tiredness has already gone far away.

“Aww! I’m coming! Stay still and wait!!”

With a sample of the new material in hand, it was a good reason to go to an emergency report to Chansu to rest all week… No, it was enough.

Partiet Dredging Area

“Pour more! pushed! I mean pushed!”

“I can’t see you’re pouring!”

Dredged gravel and sand were poured into the caisson, but the sound of the caisson being pushed was heard.

“A tarpaulin! Bring a tarp! It’s raining! Welders will be held accountable if they get electrocuted!”

“sorry.”

It was drizzling rain, but the welding couldn’t be stopped.

Welding on a rainy day was something I would never normally do, but now it was an emergency.

“I’m sorry, it’s nabal, and it’s a tarp. safety! safety! safety!”

“safety! safety! Don’t worry!”

Tarpaulins were hung on steel plates spanning the caisson, and technicians on the other side continued welding while riding long ropes.

Although it is a temporary dam, it had to be welded with an iron plate to contain the water.

“Boss, I can’t stand it any longer. Jamaica will be pushed out, not Caisson.”

My father came as a representative of the staff and said.

That’s right. Now we have built a dam downstream, trapping a huge amount of water upstream.

No matter how large the remnants of the dredger are, they are bound to be pushed out little by little by the water pressure. Even the caisson weighing more than 4,000 tons is pushed out little by little like that.

“I see. I have to do it today.”

Damn it must be raining I was relieved that it was dry…

Looking at the dark clouds in the sky, it might be raining more upstream. In an instant, the quantity may increase to an unmanageable level.

You may then have to evacuate without even attempting to cross the rapids.

“Stop working and ask everyone to come out.”

“Yes, boss.”

Beep profit!

“Come out everyone! The boss said the dam burst.”

“Wowaaa!”

Beep profit!

“Come out everyone! Come out!”

Whistle was blown from all sides, and employees took refuge by the river. The warship supporting the iron plate jumped over as if it were a bridge.

“Are you running it?”

Major Kim approached me.

“Let’s do it. Rather, it might be an opportunity when it rains.”

“You command. I will be there to help.”

“The Major is the Fleet Commander, so I’m in command?”

“Do you really want to see that idiot Yankee spoon into this operation?”

Major Kim pointed at Major Smith, who was watching from afar.

Yes, if Major Kim commands the LST fleet, it becomes a military operation, but if I lead it, we can insist that it is part of the dredging project.

“I guess I should.”

“All you have to do is give the order to start and explode. You can leave the rest to me.”

“good. let’s go.”

When I’m done with this, I’m going to tell Gothel that Smith put that guy in a job.

He’s the one who dared to put a gun to my forehead.

“Blue dragon units to their respective positions!”

“To the location!”

The members of the Blue Dragon moved in perfect order at Major Kim’s words.

The LST replacing the water barrier sluice and the LST going against the river were all tense.

Climbed the LST bridge.

It’s been a long time since I entered a proper bridge.

“Full LST, engine on!”

I shouted with all my might.

Start with this.

“Entire fleet, engines up!”

“Turn up the engine!”

The engine made his presence known through the soles of his feet.

It is a four-cylinder engine with 2,700 horsepower that GM of the United States is so proud of. Reliable guy, please take good care of me.

“Engine warm-up 60 seconds, target RPM 120.”

“Engine warm-up 60 seconds, target RPM 120.”

A warship’s diesel engine needs to be warmed up.

Major Kim’s orders were calm and precise.

Most diesel engines go up to 180 RPM, so when warming up, up to 120 RPM should be sufficient.

All LSTs rumbled.

As if they had been waiting for this moment, the sky blazed and poured rain. There was no way to know whether Heaven was helping or hindering.

“RPM 100, 105, 110, 120!”

“RPM 100, 105, 110, 120!”

Like the elite of the elite, the RPM was precisely matched.

“Prepare for 810 and 811 turns. Left floodgate 810 will turn right, right floodgate 811 will turn left!”

“Ready to turn!”

“Ready to turn!”

The warship has two screws so it can turn in place. It is the moment when the floodgates are opened.

The iron plate that barely endured leaning on the warship is nothing more than a piece of paper compared to the power of the river.

“The turn is ready.”

“The turn is ready.”

The preparation for turning was announced through radio, hand signals, and sirens.

“Turn right on room 810, turn left on room 811, turn!”

“Turn around!”

With a deafening siren, the two LSTs in front began turning.

As the supporting ship gradually fell off the iron plate, the river beyond the iron plate began to cry.

It growled as if it were going to swallow it.

If you want to come, come!

“Room 808! Room 809! Ready to charge! 20 seconds countdown!”

“Prepare to charge! 20 seconds countdown!”

“Countdown 20 seconds!”

“Twenty seconds!”

“Start countdown!”

“20! 19! 18! 17!….”

As the countdown approached zero, the assault LST’s engine sound grew louder.

A 21st century engine would have used a gas turbine, but now it is only a diesel engine.

The rapids, which are only 50 meters long and have a slope of around 10 degrees, feel like such a huge wall.

If it’s a 21st century engine that can easily exceed 5,000 horsepower, the occasional rapids are child’s play.

Cheer up, Blue Dragon Unit LST.Read at readwn

Just 10 seconds, if you work hard for just 10 seconds, you can go over that rapid.

“… 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, zero!”

The moment I shouted zero, Major Kim looked at me.

now! I shouted without hesitation.

“Explode!”

“Explode!”

Kwak! Kwak!

When the bomb on the iron plate exploded, the iron plate was crumpled like a piece of paper.Read at readwn

Jamaica, barely holding on, was the first to disappear in the rapids.

“Rush!!!!”

“Rush!!!!”

“aaa!”

Although the maximum speed of the LST is only 10 knots and only 5m per second, the body hooked and tilted backwards.

A huge muddy water hit the boat.

“go! Forward!!! @@$$%^^!!!”

“Break it! pierce it!! ㅆ%^^&&!”

Swearing erupted from all sides.

No matter how elite they were, abusive language was rampant in a state of extreme tension.

aaa

It felt like a typhoon hit.

A boulder the size of an adult’s head pounded past the deck.

“Speed up!”

“It’s top speed!”

“I mean rush!”

“Don’t give up! rush! Goo!”

Woo An indescribable engine sound passed through my body.

LST screamed that it was the first wave like this.

gotta go! I mean, I had to go.

“only once! No more, just once!”

A huge wave lifted the athlete high as if to overturn the LST.

The sound of a large rock hitting the bottom of the boat was like thunder.

Kwak Kwa Kwak! Kwak! Kwak!

LST was not alone either.

As if he was not going to lose, he thrust his pointed player in and split the head of the huge wave into both sides.

“Charge!!! Charge!!”

The LST let out a squealing cry as if it was scratching the floor.

The 100-meter long LST soared high like a Viking in Wolmi Island. Like salmon against a waterfall, really.

“aaagh!”

The head of the huge LST was slammed down.

We obviously came from a lower place.

bang! Kwak!

There was no mind at all.

White spray of water exploded in all directions.

Several times thicker muddy water poured down than the pouring rain.

“Keuaaa!”

“Quaaa!”

A scream echoed through the communication channel.

No, everyone around me screamed.

“Success! Success!!!!!

“Over! I crossed the waterfall! We crossed the waterfall!”

“I crossed it aaa!”

“Long live the blue dragon troops!”

Despite the muddy water splashing all over, everyone ran to the deck and hurrahed.

“Long live unemployment!”

Daese employees, who were watching with bated breath by the river, also shouted at their throats.

“Thank you all for your hard work.”

“thank you for your effort. Boss Wu.”

“Blue dragon troops, everyone cheer!”

“Waaa!”

I was with the legendary blue dragon unit.

From what I’ve heard, it was a great unit.

‘It’s an honor to be with you.’

I also went to the deck and spread my arms wide.

The hardships of the past were washed away by the pouring rain.

We jumped the rapids of the Mekong River for the first time in the 20th century with a 1,500-ton warship.
