Can You Make A Nuclear Weapons Too?

Chapter 126

widely!

For a moment, I put the pen I was holding on the desk violently.

It just felt like a joke of fate.

It’s kind of like, as if someone deliberately set things up so that I had no choice but to jump into the business?

Of course, that may be an exaggeration, but considering that my regression itself is inexplicable, it cannot be ignored.

“So?”

CEO Kim looked bewildered at my lukewarm response.

However, what I really want to avoid is the power pack development project for the K2 tank.

To be honest, I don’t know if there is a way to perfectly solve the mission right now, but in a situation other than that, there is a high possibility that I too will ride the same tech tree as S&U, so there is no reason why I have to accept the result.

“So it is. It’s not that we don’t have heavy industry. Moreover, if it is a project worth hundreds of billions of dollars, of course we should participate.”

“That’s when we have a chance of succeeding in developing the mission.”

“Why not be successful? Aren’t we a company that has been able to do things that even advanced countries could not do?”

I smirked inwardly at those words.

If you are not aware of the situation, you can of course make such a claim.

However, what has been accomplished so far is entirely due to data, but unfortunately, the problem is that data does not exist as far as missions are concerned.

‘Ttt.’

Of course, if you start development now, it is not without the possibility of success.

Because we already have a metal processing capability that surpasses that of Germany in some areas.

However, in this era, development was not successful even in 2025. Is it really possible to catch up with Germany’s know-how and level in just a few years?

Experience through war and over 100 years of development history. And the result after a long trial and error?

“Let’s take a little more time to think about that.”

In the end, I postponed the decision to participate in the business.

Then, CEO Kim suddenly spit out a sound of hitting the bone.

“After all, the engine and mission of the K9 will have to be developed in-house, right?”

“·················ogue.”

“I wouldn’t be wrong about what I said. As you know, K9’s export continues all over the world. In spite of the excellent performance, the aiming system has been improved recently, as well as being fully automated, so the number of countries that can be exported to will increase. However, the Chairman is also well aware that K9s may not be able to export if they do not localize the power pack.”

I was instantly amazed by his foresight.

As I am aware of how the international situation will change in the future, it is natural to be concerned about it, but in the current state of affairs, it is not an easy task.

‘Hmm.’

But what is the reason for not being so willing?

Afraid that I might fail again?

‘Wait, would you rather suggest an electric propulsion system?’

I suddenly had a thought like that.

That problem was something I always had in mind, and all-solid-state batteries will soon appear in the world anyway.

‘Ttt.’

But that thought had to be stopped soon.

We don’t yet have a motor technology that can produce a whopping 1500 horsepower, and we don’t have time to deal with the numerous variables that will occur if we introduce it to a tank.

Maybe it will be possible until 5 more years have passed for my imagination to become a reality.

‘Five years… well, the development of high-power motors is already underway through Tesla, so by then, it will be possible to build an electric propulsion system. Then, it is worth considering the K9 electric propulsion method at that time.

“What are you thinking so deeply about?”

My thoughts were broken at the words of CEO Kim, who suddenly flew away.

The look in his eyes was meant to urge an answer.

M After resting for a while, I said to him.

“it’s nothing. Anyway, let’s think a little more about the issue of participating in the K2 power pack development project. It will take quite some time to select a developer anyway.”

“·················ogue.”

******

Cheeky!

The next day, I went to Defense to prepare to participate in the K21 infantry fighting vehicle development project.

“You’ve been walking for a long time.”

The person responsible for the recent defense is CEO Kang Ho-yeon, who has been in defense for over 20 years.

His ability was already verified just by the fact that he had risen from an engineer to managing director, so I did not hesitate to appoint him as the CEO.

“How does CEO Kang seem to get younger as he gets older?”

My relationship with him was a little special.

No, to be precise, it should be related to Hyunseung.

Anyway, according to my memory. CEO Kang Ho-yeon was also one of the people who uniquely trusted Jin Hyun-seung along with Vice Chairman Yoon Sang-min when Hyun Seung-yi was wandering, and perhaps because of that, his attitude toward me even now, unlike other representatives, was friendly.

“Oh, you look at me like that, so I don’t know where to put my body. Anyway, I heard the news. They say the military is ordering a new infantry fighting vehicle to replace the K200 this time.”

“Yeah, that’s what I came here for. In the sense of trying to make something that goes beyond the military ROC if at all possible.”

“Are you going beyond ROC?”

CEO Kang looked at me with the tone of what kind of nonsense it was.

It’s not unreasonable, but in normal cases, it’s the behavior of companies to lower the ROC standard somehow to get an advantageous position in selecting a developer.

My attitude of investing more capital and energy in that yard to create things that exceed the required performance would not have seemed normal.

“Yes, only then will we be competitive in the global market.”

But my goal is not just to target the domestic market.

The fate of the K21 chassis is to be exported to several countries including Australia in the future.

To avoid the hassle of re-improving it in the export process.

And in order to participate in the US infantry fighting vehicle total replacement project, which will be the largest scale in history, without any major improvements, the foundation will be laid in advance.

To put it simply, I’m going to make the K21 a redback-level thing right now.

“The world market? That said, our military has not yet adopted it. No, do you mean that you are thinking about exporting something that was not born at all?”

“There is nothing wrong with it, is there? Anyway, my business style has always been that way.”

“·················ogue.”

CEO Kang seemed to agree with the last words.

Among the weapons we have developed so far, there were one or two that were exported before our military adopted them.

He probably didn’t have much to say against that point.

“Well, that aside, I don’t know which part you want to touch more specifically. To be honest, the ROC of the military I got is in a situation where I think it is competitive enough right now, so I don’t really get a sense of it.”

It was true that the ROC of the military was sufficient.

The turret capable of operating 40mm APFSDS (Wing Stabilized Separable Armored Ammunition), as well as the protective ability of the armor, is at a level far exceeding the previous standards.

The problem, however, is that the standards are set for the present.

To be precise, it is a measure that does not take into account the paradigm of weapons that change due to the influence I am exerting in this era.

“By current standards, that’s enough. However, after 5 or 6 years, when this combat vehicle is supplied, the military will definitely change the ROC even after 3 more years, let alone 5 or 6 years. So, it would be better for us to go one step ahead now than to go and review the development completely.”

“What else does that mean? ROC is changing.”

After hearing the explanation, CEO Kang immediately expressed his doubts.

After looking around his office for a while, I continued, holding in my hand one of the models of an infantry fighting vehicle sitting on the desk.

“I put everything else aside and take drones as an example. In the next few months, the attack drone developed by Jaewoo will enter the arms market. And it will spread quickly. In that case, would an infantry fighting vehicle tailored to the ROC required by the military now withstand the drone attack?”

“·················ogue.”

With that said, CEO Kang quickly took out a sheet of paper from his desk.

Judging by the letters at first glance, it seems that he had already copied the ROC items of the military.

I immediately told him again.

“As a result of my review, there was no concept of drone defense anywhere. In other words, if the business proceeds like this, there is a high probability that my prophecy will come true.”

“Then, wouldn’t it be better to ask the military to change the ROC to enable drone defense now?”

“That’s what I already tried before I got here.”

“·················ogue.”

Representative Kang looked at him with his eyes shining at those words.

As he shrugs his shoulders in a negative way, he asks with a frown.

“Did you say no?”

“The biggest problem in our military has been revealed. If you can’t see it and feel it yourself, you’ll never admit it.”

“But you must have already felt enough about the dangers of drones through the Iranian crisis, right?”

“It was useless. Rather, the JCS official asked us what percentage of our chances of getting hit by the things we made.”

“Aren’t you stupid? In a field where there is no law that states that only us can make it… No, why don’t you think about the possibility that China or Japan will make something similar right now?”

“That’s what I mean. However, if you introduce a drone defense system right away, the unit price is definitely high~ Do you know what I mean?’

CEO Kang let out a smirk.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

After all, he has been working in the defense industry for a long time, so he understands the physiology of the military.

He let out a long sigh and asked me again.

“Then what are you going to do now? After all, if the military is wary of a unit price increase, there is a possibility that products developed by us with increased performance arbitrarily will be adopted.”

“So, right now, I plan to proceed with the development in line with the military’s requirements as much as possible. However, at a level where further improvements can be made without any major problems in the future.”

“Are you going to do the design in the direction you think it is?”

“Because that would be more profitable in terms of cost than trying to completely improve it in the future. One concern is that the military may insist on granting the ability to cross-country until the very end, and we will have to discuss that part.”

“Anyway, how are you going to deal with the overall cost increase?”

“We don’t have to worry about any increments. After all, we have drastically lowered the unit price of key raw materials for composite materials through the ongoing resource development project with Russia. There will be similar saves in that area.”

CEO Kang said Oh! looked like that.

At that point, I secretly pulled out a memory and uploaded it to the Defense server in front of CEO Kang.

“What are you doing?”

“This is the hull blueprint for the new infantry fighting vehicle we are going to develop. For security reasons, I am uploading directly to the server.”

“Did the blueprints come out already?”

“No surprise. It was a project that was planned anyway, so it was built in advance by the lab personnel.”

I spoke calmly and tapped the keyboard again.

Even if I tell a lie, should I be bold enough to be less suspicious?

CEO Kang glanced at him and didn’t look like he was trying to find out the facts.

“You will have to go through this quantum cryptography generator every time you log in. The thing to note is that whenever you upload data again after all work is done, the representative must be directly involved.”

“I know that.”

He nodded and accepted his crypto generator.

A unique security system that other companies do not have.

It can be annoying to have to pay attention to such things as a representative, but since it has been a practice that has been going on for several years, he seems to want to do the same now.

“By the way, to hear from CEO Kim, he said that he had a negative stance on participating in the XK2 power pack self-development project.”

The problem I had been trying to push out of my head came to mind again.

Because of that, I was also secretly frowned upon, and CEO Kang throws out a curious word.

“If you are not confident in self-development, can I make a suggestion?”

“·················ogue.”

Can you make nuclear weapons too?
