Can You Make A Nuclear Weapons Too?

Chapter 156

[The Korean government has confirmed that the Korean helicopter business will be jointly developed with the United States.]

About three months later, the US and the Korean government agreed to jointly develop a transport helicopter project.

As scheduled, the US developers are Boeing and Sikorsky.

And in Korea, KAI was selected as the company.

“The U.S. Department of Defense is considering expanding the business.”

CEO Kim has delivered the news that the US government, convinced of the success of the project through joint development with Korea, is considering expanding the JMR (Integrated Multipurpose Vertical Takeoff and Landing Plane).

As the Defiant itself was one of the pillars of JMR anyway, the plan was to secure a wider variety of models in connection with it.

As a result, the US Department of Defense’s JMR development plan was further subdivided into six business areas, and JML-LIGHT with Korea. It was concluded that the development of a so-called lightweight helicopter would also proceed.

“JML-LIGHT can serve as the basis for future light reconnaissance and attack helicopter projects if used well.”

In fact, that was the part I was looking forward to.

If we can connect, we’ll be LAH. In the so-called small armed helicopter development project, it is possible to secure a different platform than before the return.

In fact, I was worried about the performance and position of Eurocopter’s aircraft, which we bought and built before returning, because the performance and position were a bit vague.

‘Of course, considering the conversion for civilian use, Eurocopter’s design was not a bad choice, but it is not comparable to the performance of the S-97 radar.’

Especially considering the strong stability of the coaxial rotor.

Well, it’s not a requirement for high-speed maneuvering for civilian use, but it’s enough to just remove the tail rotor.

[The additional dispatch of troops to Iraq has been formally passed by the parliament.]

October 2006.

After a long struggle, Congress eventually approved an additional deployment to Iraq.

The deployment date is November 15th.

Public opinion became increasingly concerned about the safety of the dispatched personnel and the level of armament that resulted, and the military, whose feet had fallen on fire, ultimately concluded that it would mobilize some emergency budget to at least equip the armed forces directly related to safety.

“The Joint Chiefs of Staff have been inquiring about whether there is room for production of Polar Bears.”

The first safety measure chosen by the military was the deployment of Polar Bears.

It is a natural choice as it has already proven sufficient performance in the Middle East.

Fortunately, the number of 40 units required by the military was secured, so there was no problem in that area.

“Early deployment of K11 is also being considered.”

After a series of reports from Secretary Kim, I was immersed in thought for a moment.

Troops who may not have experienced a proper battle after the Vietnam War.

I wonder if they should be sent with only a few Polar Bears and an armed level of about K11.

‘It’s funny. That I think like that.’

In an instant, I suddenly woke up.

Honestly, isn’t that something the country, not me, should be worried about?

I am just a businessman.

You have to look at the matter in the direction of a businessman.

‘Yeah, I don’t have to worry about that…’

– It’s not because he’s a patriot, it’s like the fate of those born on this earth. You don’t understand yet, but when I’m my age, sometimes those irrational ideas come into my mind.

While the internal conflict deepened for a while, the words of the former Chairman Hyun-pil Jin crossed my mind.

At the same time, conflicts that have been suppressed are re-discovered, adding to the depth of their worries.

‘Damn, am I old enough to be obsessed with that irrational idea?’

Beep!

“Secretary Kim. Now, please contact the military leaders, including the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.”

After much thought, I finally made up my mind.

I feel relieved for some reason, perhaps because I broke the invisible glass wall.

‘I’m sorry. That I’m on my knees for clumsy patriotism… No, I don’t have to think that way. In fact, as a publicity effect, this is just the right opportunity.’

******

Cheeky!

A few days later, I headed to the laboratory, where I had an appointment with the military leaders.

As if it was because of my unusual attitude, most of the top executives responded to the request even though they were busy, and thanks to this, the parking lot of the research institute was filled with cars with special plates.

“Did something happen?”

Kim Tae-ik, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who has now been promoted to defense minister, asked a question first as he got out of the car.

It feels like all the major VIPs have arrived.

Without wasting time, he explained why.

“I have a few things to discuss about the arming of the troops we plan to dispatch.”

“·················ogue.”

Minister Kim Tae-ik rolled his eyes and looked at me again.

Ignoring it, I walk ahead towards the entrance of the laboratory, and the top leaders follow them.

Beep!

The security of the laboratory was almost equivalent to that of a nuclear storage facility.

Because of that, there are only five gates to go through.

Since then, additional security inspections continued even on the third floor, which went up by elevator, and the expressions of military leaders became more serious as time passed.

“Why the hell are we here…?”

Giing!

As soon as someone finished speaking, the door to today’s final destination opened.

The first thing he saw was Hee-won’s appearance.

He was waiting because he had given us a premonition, and he led us straight to another security area. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

“Warrior Platform Development Center?”

Minister Kim Tae-ik, standing in front of the door that arrived last, read his nameplate in a low voice.

At the same time, the door opened, and the eyes of the military leaders who saw the mannequins inside and the various accessories they had were instantly full of fire.

“Hey, what is all this?”

“Years ago, Jaewoo had established a research center on personal firearms and armaments. And these are the warrior platforms that Jaewoo has been developing independently.”

I said as I approached the mannequin closest to me.

As soon as he touched the bulletproof helmet that was on his head with his hand, people’s eyes turned to it.

“This bulletproof helmet is made of ‘ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene’. Therefore, compared to the existing Kevlar helmet, it is lighter and the defense is greatly increased.”

It was based on the Obscore FAST helmet.

It has a design that is different from the existing ones, as well as a form in which multiple devices can be installed.

Military leaders spit out questions one by one, raising doubts about the situation.

“It’s a unique shape. By the way, this part seems to be where the night vision goggles are attached, right?”

“That’s right. In addition to night vision goggles, you can attach a variety of combat equipment such as soundproofing headsets and foe identification IR.”

The eyes of the leaders lit up more and more.

To put it as it is, greed.

Seriously, if you don’t get greedy when you see a bullet-proof helmet that’s specialized for combat like this, it’s even weirder.

I smiled and said, pointing my hand at the battle suit the mannequin was wearing and the body armor it was wearing over it.

“And this suit has a meta-material coating. Therefore, the color assimilation rate for the surrounding environment has been improved by more than 20 times compared to the previous one. It’s a concept that uses some kind of light scattering, but we’ll skip the details.”

“·················ogue.”

The top officials looked around the uniform at those words.

Soon they tilted their heads and spit out a question that stabbed the core.

“But this is a desert camouflage pattern, isn’t it?”

“Yes. In the first place, this is a product that was made at the time when the first deployment to Iraq was decided.”

“Are you saying that it was built with Iraqi troops in mind? No, why?”

When I heard the question, I had nothing to say.

However, he said, ‘When I think about it, I think I had a clumsy patriotism. That’s why I wanted to provide this to the troops dispatched to Iraq.’ Because I can’t answer that.

“What do you mean? You have troops in mind.”

As my thoughts deepened, Minister Kim Tae-ik intervened.

Well, that’s the problem, I’ll explain it again later.

I tried to ignore his question, this time pointing to the full body bulletproof suit.

“As you can see, this is a bulletproof vest and lower body armor that Jaewoo developed before. The only thing that has changed is that in the past, it was just a type of inserting a plate made of metal spongy body into the armor made of Kevlar material, and this is that the armor itself has another bulletproof performance.”

In fact, this was the most important thing I wanted to show them today.

2025.

To be precise, it was something that had been developed about 90% just before my return.

I continued research through Heewon at the same time as the center was opened, and it was completed only about three months ago.

“·················ogue.”

Minister Kim Tae-ik looked at me with his eyes wide open.

It’s as if he couldn’t understand what was going on with just verbal explanations.

It was the expected reaction, so when I looked at Hee-won, he immediately handed me a rifle that was kept on the other side of the lab.

Giing!

As I held the rifle in my hand, a target appeared from the other side.

The full body bulletproof suit I just described.

When I glanced at the military leaders to take a step back, they sat behind my back without anyone telling me to take a step back.

“This ammunition is an armor-piercing round mainly used by the U.S. military.”

bang!

Even though it was soundproofed, the aftermath of the shooting from the inside was great.

A frowning, deafening phenomenon.

But is a soldier a soldier?

No one frowned, and on the contrary, a question that could become the core flew in.

“I think I just heard a strange noise, am I the only one who heard it?”

“No, I heard. Just like the sound of a bullet hitting iron.”

I exclaimed for a moment.

Because I didn’t expect you to notice that subtle difference.

He handed the gun to Hee-won again and spoke to the generals who had raised questions.

“You are correct.”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“What do you mean?”

“I mean, I heard a noise. In fact, that armor is made of special materials called ‘polyethylene glycol’ and ‘nanobit silica’. Therefore, when a sudden physical force is applied, it tends to become as hard as iron in an instant. The iron noise you heard was probably a reaction caused by that action.”

“Are the fibers as hard as iron?”

“I’m not talking about the fiber itself, but the fluid material embedded in it. For reference, when the applied physical force is dissipated, the hardened material returns to a fluid material. In addition to that, if you even insert a plate of spongy metal, the only thing that can penetrate that full body bulletproof suit is an anti-target sniper bullet.”

People did not try to hide the absurdity of the crowd.

After all, this is a site where all kinds of things that don’t fit with 2006 exist.

Actually, that’s why I’ve been reluctant to disclose this lab.

“No, how could this be…”

Lieutenant General Hwang Ki-young, newly appointed special warfare commander, muttered with a frown on his face.

What other excuses do you need?

Minister Kim Tae-ik’s question comes to the fore when he tries to make excuses by saying that Jae-woo’s technology is that high.

“Then what is this?”

What he was pointing to was an exoskeleton suit mounted on another mannequin.

Still in the testing stage.

For that reason, it was put off to one side, and the appearance of a medical aid seemed quite bizarre to him.

“Ah! It’s an active exoskeleton suit.”

“·················ogue.”

Minister Kim Tae-ik rolled his eyes and looked at me again.

He came closer and gave an explanation.

“This is being developed to improve the strength of soldiers and their fighting ability under certain conditions.”

“Are you improving your strength?”

“That’s right. The stick-like skeletons that support the arms and legs receive the force transmitted from the actuator, resulting in increased muscle strength.”

At that, the minister’s gaze turned to the exoskeleton suit again.

To be precise, the main control part from which the drive is suspended.

He said to him, who reached out his hand as if he were touching an unusual toy.

“The drive motor in that part responds to the electrical signal to help the movement. As a result, soldiers equipped with it can move objects weighing hundreds of kilograms without much effort. For reference, the drive unit is equipped with the all-solid-state battery developed this time to increase power efficiency.”

“·················ogue.”

Minister Kim Tae-ik immediately looked at me at those words.

Soon, I felt my lips tingle and muttered with a puzzled face.

“Is this Korea right? No, this is… Is the reality right?”
