I Became a Genius Engineer

Blockchain developer Cheolwoo Lee (3)

“Let’s invest? Why are you suddenly saying so confidently?”

I was still dubious, but Minseok said with a very confident expression.

“Well, there are several reasons. How do I explain this? First of all, the new technology has been applied.”

“New technology?”

“Uh. Block chain technology. Cheolwoo said you’re great?”

“It’s definitely great. It’s a concept that hasn’t existed before.”

“Yes, that’s great. It’s a skill that Cheol-woo says is great, but isn’t it worth it?”

“…”

“And that it’s not known to the general public.”

“Does that help too?”

“Then, honestly, where would you go on a broadcast right now, Cheolwoo, how many times would you jump even if you mentioned Bitcoin just once?”

“Is that enough?”

The word that much had several meanings.

Once I mentioned that the price of Bitcoin will fluctuate, and that it is actually worth it.

“There’s a saying. Get famous first. Then people will clap for you even when you poop.”

“…”

“Because you’re famous enough. Honestly, Bitcoin would be sh*t? But the problem is, it’s not sh*t.”

“I’m sure it’s not sh*t.”

“When I saw it, it jumped at least 10 times. No, it jumped up to 50 times.”

50 times? Didn’t it go too far? What the hell is 50 times?

“If 500,000 won is 50 times… you mean that 1 bitcoin is 25 million won? hahahahaha, say something that makes sense.”

It’s not like I was looking for leverage in the futures market, but the fact that the spot price goes up 50 times… … . It was impossible.

“Um, would you like to bet with me?”

“What bet?”

“It goes up 50 times, but it doesn’t go up.”

“sun!”

“What should I bet on… well… money is meaningless.”

“Whoever wins will grant your wish.”

“What kind of lover are you?”

“Then let’s just hit it.”

“Okay, Cole.”

Minseok bet that Bitcoin will rise to 25 million won, and I bet that it will not rise that far.

“How long is the period?”

“Ten years.”

“to????”

“It’s obvious. It takes 10 years to grow 50 times. Since this is 2014, 25 million won by 2024.”

“… well, that’s fine.”

Even if 10 years is a time when the river and mountains change, the price of Bitcoin will not jump that much.

“So, how much are you willing to invest?”

“Because our LF doesn’t have a lot of available cash right now? Is it all in stock?

“200 billion won?”

Apparently, not only me, but Minseok also seemed to have a strange sense of money.

“It’s okay. Even if we lose a bit of that, our LF won’t be hit.”

“crazy.”

It was even scary now.

“Anyway, leave that part to us, because our fund management team is Korea’s elite.”

“Okay. You’ve done well so far, so I’ll leave it to you.”

“By the way, what are you going to do now? Are you going to be hanging around here all the time?”

“Um… I thought I’d do something soon.”

“You know you have some AHS problems, right?”

AHS. automated house system. This is what I made in the early days of the startup club.

“Why is that?”

“No, because AHS is so widespread, you’ve heard what happens.”

“… that you don’t have enough workers?”

“Uh. The crops grow incredibly well, but the problem is that there are no workers to harvest them.”

AHS’ main sales force was people with a lot of money, not farmers.

Farming can be done automatically with money and land, so we built AHS with their investment.

Even if you don’t know farming, the machine grows crops on its own, so there was no big problem in that part, but a problem occurred elsewhere.

Harvest right away.

With the advent of many AHS systems, the total number of crops increased, but the number of workers who wanted to harvest them was limited.

“Um… is there a way?”

“Can’t you make something like a harvesting robot?”

“……. If I could have made it, I would have already made it when I made the AHS system.”

“I also made the ITE-X engine, but I’m afraid I won’t be able to make one.”

“Hey, if that’s the case, I’ll make a warp engine too.”

“Kuhm.”

Minseok cleared his throat, perhaps at a loss for words.

“I don’t know, if I think of a method later, I’ll do some research.”

“Where did you hear that it is possible to create artificial intelligence?”

“A.I?”

Obviously, Sla Motors also said that they had created an autonomous driving system using artificial intelligence, but of course they dismissed it as Gura and did not pay much attention to it.

“Uh. AI.”

“…… I don’t know right now. Either I do a lot of research, or I need to come up with a little bit of related technology.”

“First of all, I get it. But in case you don’t know. There might be a research paper. I’m just saying it. If you find a related technology, think about it then.”

“okay.”

It’s artificial intelligence… … . Well, put it on hold for now.

There was something I wanted to do right now.

“Then AHS is put on hold, is there anything you want to do?”

“I recently met with people I knew while in the military, and they said there was a spot left in the Interpol Cybercrime Unit? I’d like to go there.”

“Why are you there?”

“Doesn’t that sound like fun?”

“Ehh… I’m the only one who suffers.”

Minseok sighed and said, “Go away.”

“hahahahaha, I’m always grateful.”

“Okay, go see it. I’m doing well here anyway, so you never know if something will explode there.”

“Don’t expect too much. I’m just going there out of curiosity.”

“Yes. I understand. Then see you next time Lee Cheol-woo.”

“okay.”

* * *

A few days later, I was dispatched to Team 3 of the Interpol Cyber Investigation Team, where Sang-cheol hyung and Jo Hyuk were working.

“Hello! My name is Cheol-woo Lee, who has been dispatched this time.”

“…?”

“huh?”

“to……?”

When I greeted them warmly, the people on duty there looked puzzled.

“No, is that the teacher Lee Cheol-woo I know?”

“Who made the ITE-X engine?”

“…… The one who really killed Japan?”

“Your face is the same as the one I saw on the news, isn’t it your doppelganger?”

Everyone was looking at me curiously.

“hahahahaha, I am Lee Cheol-woo, who made the ITE-X engine.”

There was no reason to hide it. I said confidently.

“…… No, why is such a noble person in such a shabby place?”

Among them, the person who seemed to be the most superior asked me a question.

“Ah, didn’t you hear from Team Leader Cho Hyuk? He asked if there was one vacancy and he didn’t want to work.”

“…… Manager Cho Hyuk!”

I called team leader Cho Hyuk, who was watching this situation from afar as if it were funny.

“Yes. Did you call?”

“No…… what the hell happened? Why did Mr. Lee Cheol-woo come here?”

“I told you. One more dispatch is coming.”

“…… I said it. I said it, but… I didn’t say it was Mr. Lee Cheol-woo!”

“hahahaha, that’s how it happened.”

“No. No, no…”

The man didn’t know what to do.

“Chief Cho Hyuk, if you don’t mind, let me introduce myself…”

“Ah, this person here is Cheol-Min Choi, who is in charge of Team 3 of the Cybercrime Unit. And I can call him Chief Cho Hyuk.”

Oh, you are no longer the team leader.

“Hello. I’ll greet you formally once again. I’m Lee Cheol-woo. I look forward to seeing you from Team Manager Choi Cheol-min.”

“…… Manager Cho? Is this correct?”

“Yes. I will do my job well.”

“No, you didn’t ask for that!”

“I’ll try my best. Where is my seat?”

“Uh… First of all, you can use this seat.”

He pointed to his seat and said.

“Yeah? I guess that’s the team leader’s seat?”

“Ugh, no. Teacher Lee Cheol-woo is here, how can I sit in the team leader’s seat?”

“You don’t have to be like that. I’m the LF representative outside, but here it’s just a dispatch job. There’s an empty seat next to Sang-cheol over there. I’ll do it over there.”

“…… Yes, I understand. I’ll prepare it right away.”

Everyone seemed bewildered, but the atmosphere was generally welcoming.

“Well then, shall we do some work right away? Which one should we start with?”

“Um…”

Chief Choi was still at a loss.

“Chief Choi, I’ll be in charge. He’s the person I recommended.”

In the meantime, Manager Hyuk Cho came and said.

“Yes. Please do so. Then… First of all, I understand. First of all… Um…”

Still he didn’t know what to do.

“Take a look. I will receive it through the manager.”

“Okay. But you’ve come a long way, so I hope you get many things.”

“hahahahaha, yes. I understand. Have a hard time.”

After saying hello to team leader Choi, Sang-cheol went to the seat next to his brother.

“Huh, this is really hard.”

Sang-cheol grumbled at his brother.

“hahahahaha, really looking at it like this, he’s definitely a celebrity. Great, great.”

“It’s not something to laugh at, because even if you go to the local mart, they ask about this and that.”

“Aren’t you almost a celebrity?”

“Not nearly, but more than celebrities.”

“Seriously, since I was in the army, I recognized him properly.”

“Enough of old stories, so what should we do first?”

“Chief Joe. Can we ask for help with what we are doing?”

“right.”

Sang-cheol hyung got permission from the manager.

“Well, what are you doing right now? Would you like to see this first?”

Sang-cheol hyung gave me a bitcoin address and said.

“Bitcoin address?”

“Uh, we’re tracking the account there right now.”

“Why this account?”

“Have you heard the news about the recent sweeping of the Philippine drug gang?”

“Oh, I think I heard.”

“The drug gang must have been working on Korea as well.”

“Oh yeah?”

Drugs in Korea… … . I couldn’t even imagine.

“So I’m trying to find the guy who wants to distribute drugs in Korea.”

“Hmm? What does that have to do with this Bitcoin account?”

“This is the account that the guy who distributes drugs in Korea made payments to the Philippine drug gang.”

“Ah. So, a Korean drug dealer bought drugs from a Philippine drug dealer, and they paid in Bitcoin, right?”

“Uh. That’s right.”

“Then we can track this account and find out how the money was exchanged?”

“right.”

hmm… … . is it a bit weird?

How to track your Bitcoin account and figure out how to convert it?

“Is that possible?”

It was impossible I think.

It was difficult to keep track of the bitcoins, and it was not possible to match the address of the exchange office for the final coin exchange.

hmm… … .

‘is not it? Could it be possible?’

I’ll have to look at the bitcoin source again.

My memory was fuzzy.

“I don’t know?”

“……? What is it? You don’t know?”

“I don’t know, I’m trying. Whether it works or not. I don’t know yet.”

“What, then you’re still researching?”

“uh.”

“…… No, what do you have?”

“Why are we dispatched here? We came to study how to catch those who commit cybercrimes with a new method.”

“ah…….”

In other words, Manager Hyuk Cho and Sang-cheol hyung were people who researched cybercrime investigation methods.

“Ah, Sangcheol, you don’t need to do that.”

While I was in a daze, section chief Cho Hyuk started talking to Sang-cheol.

“Why all of a sudden?”

“I just got an email. It says it can’t be traced.”

“is it so?”

“Uh. The answer came directly from the Bitcoin Foundation in the United States.”

“…… Cheolwoo, did you hear that?”

“No? Is that possible?”

In the short time that Sang-cheol hyung and manager Cho were talking, I looked at the source of Bitcoin once again.

is it possible

I don’t know why the bitcoin altar said it was impossible.
