Chapter 89

‘It’s definitely a different vibe from the Humvee.’

My first impression was that the words “it gives an overwhelming feeling of intimidation” came out of nowhere.

Seriously, even with the maximum use of composite gloves, it is an item that weighs 6 tons.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Humvee standing next to him is nothing more than a tin can.

“I don’t know about anything else, but I like the look.”

Vice President Kim gave the most generous score to the solid appearance.

At first glance, it looks similar to the appearance of the L-ATV that Oshikoshi had proposed to the US military before the return, but that is probably the result of pursuing a design that considers protection and mobility to the maximum.

“Temporarily given the official name Polar Bear.”

Before the test, the researcher in charge gave an explanation.

Polar Bear.

Polar bear.

As he twisted his lips thinking that it was a suitable name, the researcher continued his explanation as if excitedly.

“The engine has been partially improved based on the ‘Mortal’ engine developed by Jaewoo Research Institute. So, the maximum output of 500 horsepower was marked, but it was optimized to 350 horsepower at 3,000 rpm. In addition, the output is regulated by a digitalized control device. The result is a dramatic increase in fuel efficiency, with a maximum range of 500 kilometers.”

“How is the self-diagnosis function?”

I was curious about that for a while and asked again.

It is important to find the cause of the failure as quickly as possible in the harsh field conditions.

Perhaps it was a concern, the researcher nodded, immediately opened the engine room door and touched something, and soon the display installed in the car displayed a warning and specific error details.

Yes, that should be enough to speed up the response in the field.

“We are going to conduct a driving test soon, but if you have any ideas, would you like to ride the car yourself?”

The researcher suddenly made a suggestion to me.

It means that you are confident.

As I gladly accepted and got into the vehicle, I felt a sense of comfort that was not like a tactical vehicle.

Boo Woong!

The driving test that started after that gave a surprise.

Perhaps because of the independent suspension applied, not only the riding comfort was excellent even in the rough mountainous terrain, but also the ability to overcome rough terrain is incomparable to that of the Humvee.

In particular, the climbing ability of as much as 60% makes people exclaim with admiration.

“Then from now on…….”

We got out of the vehicle again for the last protective ability test.

Afterwards, the vehicle we were carrying immediately entered the reinforced concrete-enclosed structure, and after a while, a warning to prepare for debris is heard through an announcement.

[All guests, please go to the observation room in case of any possible scattering.]

As I watched, I was quite nervous.

In fact, protection ability is the core of JLTV.

As if thinking the same thing, Vice President Kim’s expression was even stiffer than before.

Doo doo doo!

The first thing that started was to verify the protective ability of the fire extinguisher.

Not only regular rifle bullets, but also 14.5mm anti-objective sniper bullets. And in the end, even after being hit by 20 millimeters, it looks fine.

It was a moment when I felt the power of the vapor deposition composite gloves.

bang!

It was a sufficient passing score for the subsequent IED (improvised explosive device) protection test.

A system that modularizes the boarding area and distributes the explosive force separately from the shock received by the vehicle’s frame.

Perhaps because of that, the dummy (model) in the seat looked quite intact even in the midst of a huge explosion that caused the vehicle to rise to its fullest.

“Fire Situation.”

Afterwards, the researchers approached the vehicle and simulated a fire.

However, the fire was extinguished in just a few seconds by an automatic fire extinguishing system that responded immediately.

One of the researchers, who was watching the flames completely extinguished, gets into the vehicle at first, wondering what else to do this time.

slurp.

Shortly thereafter, the vehicle pulled itself out of the pit.

A scene that proves that the drive system is intact despite the impact of the explosion.

However, what was more impressive was the multi-structured tire that maintained a certain level of air pressure even when it was almost turned into a mop.

clap clap!

I clapped my hands with sincerity.

I wonder if the hardships of the past have crossed my mind, and the researchers hold my outstretched hands together with expressions as if crying.

“There was a lot of hard work. Sooner or later, the Vice President will fully repay you for your hard work.”

“Okay, if you’ve suffered this much, you should definitely be rewarded.”

Vice President Kim Young-gi, who was by his side, immediately responded to that.

He still couldn’t get rid of his excitement.

Perhaps he did not expect such a perfect object to be born.



“I’m sorry, but how about getting Polar Bear into one of the rallies?”

Then, one of the researchers made a meaningful statement.

“rally?”

I looked at the place where the sound was coming from, and a man who looked to be in his mid-thirties stared at me and spoke again.

“For example, a rally across the desert or a long-distance rally over rough terrain. Let’s participate in it and test the actual driving performance again. If we get good grades there, wouldn’t it be enough to attract attention without our efforts to promote it?”

I stared at her man’s face for a while.

The world is wide and there are many talented people.

I feel like I met another talented person today.

“I’m sorry, but what’s your name?”

“This is Jongjin Lee. I am working as a deputy head of the JLTV development department.”

“Because you’re the deputy team leader… Okay, from now on, I leave everything about participating in the rally to you. If we do well in the rally, we will promote the whole team.”

“·················ogue.”

******

A fortnight after that, the prototype vehicle developed by Jaewoo entered the preparation stage to participate in the Dakar Rally.

It’s been about a month and a week until the date of participation.

In the meantime, repair work for Rally will be carried out for a while.

smart!

“Vice President Kim Young-gi is here.”

While he was reviewing the report on the preparations for the rally for a while, Vice President Kim Young-ki entered the room.

He had a pile of files in his hand as to what he had so much to report on.

Laying it down neatly on his desk, he let out a long sigh as if he wanted to express himself tired of the pile of work.

“Russia will send researchers soon.”

I’m probably talking about researchers who will jointly develop a hypersonic cruise missile project.

The project, which had been sluggish for a while, is now about to proceed in earnest.

After all, no matter how much Russia may have been, it would have been impossible to completely ignore the world situation going on.

He was holding his breath the whole time, and as the fire of war slowly began to subside, he seemed to be trying to move.

“You are very late. Once they enter the country, please arrange accommodation as close to the individual research complex as possible.”

“I don’t think so.”

In the case of the joint development project with Russia, the research complex was opened far from Thales.

At first, there was a suggestion to integrate with the Thales Missile Development Center, but that was my objection.

If the research center is integrated, Russian researchers will come and go more often, so the possibility of technology leakage is high.

“Is this going to cost a bit more than you think?”

Even so, it will be a burden to bear.

As it turns out, security is not enough no matter how careful you are.

Even if it costs some money right now, it’s better to avoid blushing with Russia.

“You have to endure that. By the way, is Jawoo Security in charge of the safety issues of Russian researchers?”

“On our side, as well as Russia, we plan to send some personnel to the surveillance and safety stations.”

Vice President Kim opened one of the reports on his desk and said.

A lot of history is written along with photos.

As I was passing it slowly, I noticed a particularly familiar figure and raised my head.

“Is Natasha coming?”

“Do you know anyone?”

Come to think of it, I think it must have been something unfamiliar to Vice President Kim.

As she looked at the documents again, feeling no need to explain, she noticed that her affiliation had been changed to the Russian Foreign Intelligence Agency again.

“Looks like something else happened.”

I closed the file, thinking it didn’t really matter.

The time is already 10 o’clock.

I immediately got up because I wanted to start now to go down to Geoje.

“He said that he sent a composite propeller for submarines completed at the research institute to Geoje, and he seems to be going to observe.”

“It was a matter of concern, so I thought I would have to observe it in person. If you have time, would you like to go with me?”

“I’ll give it to you.”

Vice President Kim turned around as soon as his words were finished.

Ttt, I mean loyalty.

what’s the difference

I have no choice but to go alone for another six hours while banging on my back.

“Then let’s go to Ssangwoong’s car. I heard that they are still in the process of building a new car line, oh my! How many days do you have to stay there to see it all?”

“·················ogue.”

***

Jiying!

In the crafting dock of the 209-class submarine, the sound of machines running was noisy.

The installation site of the composite laminated propeller that arrived yesterday and was in storage.

It took quite some time to assemble because it was a propeller that was taller than a person’s height, and by the time it was finally settled in the seat, it was already dark at night.

“There was a lot of hard work. After a few days of stabilization work, please contact the acceptance evaluation team of the entire evaluation team.”

“Is there really no problem?”

The manager in charge still had a worried expression on his face.

After all, it must have been an adventure for him.

However, there will be no cause for concern since it has already been verified through our next submarine project.

Follow me!

“Huh?”

As I got into the car to rush home, my phone suddenly vibrated in my pocket.

The name on the screen is the Director of the National Intelligence Service.

When I press the call button gladly, I hear a panting sound from the other side.

“It’s been a while, Chief of the National Intelligence Service.”

-Chairman Jin, are you on the big tanker right now?

“Yes, but what’s going on?”

– Damn it, why is this place so big? Actually, I have just arrived at the tanker.

“Why is the principal here……”

– Let’s meet and talk about it. Ah! I’d like to see it over there.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

I left the hung up phone behind and looked around.

The image of the head of the National Intelligence Service waving from the other side.

He came right up to his nose, and his body was drenched in sweat.

“Huh! Let’s check it out later and go with me for a bit.”

“Where are you suddenly?”

“Your Excellency is now waiting in Okpo City.”

“·················ogue.”

******

We left the shipyard without delay and headed for downtown Okpo.

The car soon stopped at a shabby restaurant located in a back alley in the city.

It wasn’t until I saw the security personnel guarding the door that I realized that the president was really there.

“Come on.”

The president, who had already received the award, offered a glass upon arrival.

What’s going on with this now?

No matter how much I think about it, I can’t understand the situation, so I frown.

“Your Excellency, what are you doing here?”

“It was the car I attended because there was a small and medium-sized business cooperation fair nearby. Come on, don’t stand there and talk about it after we have a drink.”

At that, he inadvertently took a seat and raised the glass.

The president, almost overflowing with alcohol, spoke only as he watched as he finally passed it over his neck.

“In that short time, you solved the propeller problem of the class 209 submarine, didn’t you?”

“Whether the problem has been completely resolved will only be known through a driving test. But I don’t really care. After all, it is a product made with materials and technology that have already been proven for durability. What remains is how much noise reduction has been achieved, and fortunately, it was a passing score in the temporary test conducted in the laboratory.”

The president nodded his head with a happy expression on his face.

As he is about to grab a snack and eat, he suddenly begins to spit out nonsensical words.

“You know that? The fact that meeting Chairman Jin was a blessing for me.”

“·················ogue.”

“It’s true, isn’t it? If it were not for Chairman Jin, would the military power of this country have been able to achieve such a vigorous development? Moreover, in less than three years.”

I don’t know what kind of story they’re making people float like that.

I look up nervously and he fills my empty glass again.

“Have another drink.”

big

It was a traditional soju with a high alcohol content, so it felt like I was skimming the inside.

I thought I was going to get drunk soon, so I picked up another snack, but the president suddenly tried to make my own.

“I······.”

He quickly grabbed the bottle and pushed it away.

He smiles and holds the glass, and he looks at me intently and says.

“So speaking, if there are as many things I have received from Chairman Jin, I wondered if I should give them some compensation.”

“·················ogue.”
