Black Corporation: Joseon

Chapter 663

Episode 663: A little seasoning makes it delicious. (4)

The city of Daejeon came to a standstill at the unfamiliar word ‘flying’.

The officers and magistrates stopped typing and looked at the drawing, and the ministers also looked at the drawing with faces full of curiosity.

“You can come closer and take a look.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

After receiving permission from the mayor, Jang Yeong-sil stood up and walked to the drawing board.

Jang Yeong-sil carefully examined the drawing drawn by Hyang and asked a question.

“What do you plan to use for the skeleton?”

“I plan to use a mix of iron and wood.”

“Considering the weight, I think we need to make it as thin and light as possible. Suitable steel and wood come to mind. However, even if you use it, considering the weight, it will be difficult to maintain the strength and shape properly... Ah! Are these lines the alternative?”

“exactly.”

“Then wire would be the most likely option.”

“I think the same thing, Jim.”

“You are thinking of turning the pinwheel by manpower, but it seems impossible to control the blade and turn the pinwheel alone. “How about splitting it in two?”

“Is it possible?”

“Your Majesty’s plan is already perfect, so I think we just need to think a little more.”

“I will only believe in the scriptures.”

Hyang smiled brightly at Jang Yeong-sil’s answer, expressing trust.

‘This is why I asked to borrow Jang Yeong-sil!’

* * *

Jang Yeong-sil was the greatest craftsman of Joseon, or even the empire, at the time. His skills, not only in production but also in conception and design, were overwhelming.

This could be seen just by looking at the items he had hidden and then taken away by Hyang and registered in the challenge log – the multi-axis propellers that Wan and the craftsmen were struggling with right now, as well as the many automatic dolls.

The world’s opinion was that the scent was almost unique among those that could be compared to Jang Yeong-sil. And that was limited to conception and design.

“I tell you all, but I’m a liberal arts major! “It’s neither science nor engineering!”

Every time I heard something like this, I was the only person who made this claim. Of course, no one heard his argument.

However, the reason Hyang called Jang Yeong-sil was not just because he wanted his design and production skills.

It was because of the experience he had.

From the time he entered the palace in recognition of his qualifications and later while working in Area 51, he had used all kinds of materials and knew their general properties.

Of course, Hyang noticed this and ordered it to be documented, and related books were created. However, the performance of the documented and biometric databases was different.

Like what just happened.

Through several questions and answers while looking at the drawings, Jang Yeong-sil selected candidates for steel and wood that could be used as materials.

“Then, I will finish the preparations as quickly as possible and begin execution.”

“I will visit often.”

“I will do my best.”

When Jang Yeong-sil, who had paid homage to Hyang, stepped away, Hyang sat back down in the house.

“Okay then. “Let’s continue what we were doing.”

Kim Jeom carefully asked Hyang what he said.

“Your Majesty, I truly wish you to be honored. “You said it was a flying machine. If you think about it based on the name, is it a flying object?”

“That’s right.”

“We already have an acetabulum and research is in full swing to further improve its performance. Do we need another blade?”

The other ministers also nodded in response to Kim Jeom’s question. Kim continued to point out the problem.

“There is no one who can match the empire’s technology, and even if they do, the empire will continue to be ahead. “I am concerned that it might be too much or too little.”

Hyang nodded at Kim Jeom’s point.

“The captain’s point makes sense. Of course, what the Captain said is right. It is true that few have now caught up to our empire’s technology. Even if we think they’ve caught up, we’re sure to be ahead of them. But this may be a profound illusion.”

Kim Jeom was startled by Hyang’s answer and asked again.

“Are you saying it was an illusion?”

Kwon Ram and Hawiji nodded and accepted the confirmation.

Looking at the trio like that, Hyang smiled evilly.

“Then I will give you an assignment here. In such a situation, think about what other good plan is out there other than buying a cow, and submit it to Jim. However, something like ‘I will buy a horse instead of a cow’ will not be considered an answer.”

“yes?”

“Jim’s expectations are high.”

The trio’s answer to Hyang’s words was decided.

“I will do my best!”

“I’m not looking forward to it. “Thank you for your hard work.”

“Please rest in peace.”

The three people who saw Hyang off sighed at the same time without anyone saying anything.

“Haa~.”

“Holy shit...”

Meanwhile, Hyang, who had left Seungjeongwon, muttered to herself as she reflected on what had just happened.

‘As expected, even a person with a traitor must have the ability... Han Myeong-hoe is Han Myeong-hoe... Then the answer is fixed. Han Myeong-hoe, you will be pinned next to me until you die.’

While Hyang was busy with government affairs, he visited Jang Yeong-sil’s workshop whenever he had free time.

Every time the fragrance moved like that, the road from Gyeongbokgung Palace to Area 51 was in chaos, so the fragrance had no choice but to go into hiding.

“Your Majesty’s safety may be in trouble!”

There was a lot of talk in Naegeumwi, but Hyang silenced them with a smile and encouragement.

“I can travel with peace of mind because I have my own money.”

Hearing those words, Naegeumwijang sighed slightly and bowed.

“I will do my best.”

“I’m planning to go out today as well, so please take care of me.”

“... I will prepare.”

After leaving Gangnyeongjeon, Naegeumwijang looked up at the sky and swore.

“Hey!”

* * *

Hyang visited Jang Yeong-sil’s workshop and observed the progress of the work with Jang Yeong-sil.

“As expected, the central skeleton is iron?”

“That’s right. We looked for steel that was tough and elastic and made the framework. Of course, the weight of the iron was an issue, so I tweaked the shape a lot.”

“Right.”

Hyang nodded at Jang Yeong-sil’s explanation.

The frame, which had an ‘I’ cross section like a railroad track for an iron horse, had holes drilled in it to reduce weight.

“The number of holes is large, but after experimenting, I was able to find the right number.”

“is it? It’s amazing too. amazing.”

“That’s too much praise.”

After observing the progress, Hyang looked around the workshop and asked Jang Yeong-sil.

“If there are any shortcomings in the work, please let me know right away. “Let us support you right away.”

“Thank you.”

Hyang, who was visiting Jang Yeong-sil’s workshop while receiving Jang Yeong-sil’s gratitude, noticed something wrapped in a corner and walked towards it.

“What is this?”

“Oh that!”

Even before Jang Yeong-sil finished speaking, Hyang took off the package and looked back at Jang Yeong-sil with surprised eyes.

“Could it be... a propeller?”

“yes. “I heard that young children were making a power engine using a ducted multi-axis propulsion system, so I was thinking about making one.”

“Explain the framework....”

“Yes....”

Jang Yeong-sil explained to Hyang about the framework she had in mind.
