Episode 95. [ We’ll give it back (2) ]
The agreement between energy company Mingaz and new energy company Natas was enough to attract the world’s attention.
Papapak! Papak!
Around evening. The number of reporters gathered at the Manhattan signing ceremony and the flashlights that were used clearly showed the world’s interest.
Of course, some were disparaging it as a meeting between an energy company on the verge of bankruptcy and a new company that had not released any products.
However, the news that a leading Russian energy company and a company created by a scientist who discovered the next-generation energy source were collaborating was enough to arouse everyone’s interest.
Under the baptism of camera flashes, the men and women each signed the agreement in front of them.
After signing the agreement, the two stood up and shook hands.
Papak! Papak! Papapak!
The camera flash exploded again.
“Let’s do well in the future.”
“I would rather ask you to do so.”
Hye-rin Yoon smiled at Chairman Boris’ greeting.
It was the smile that graced the cover of the Times.
“Big.”
Chairman Boris cleared his throat and looked away.
The short agreement ceremony ended. The two people went up to the podium.
It was because of the press conference that would follow the agreement ceremony.
The press conference began immediately after President Boris’s thank you speech.
The reporters all raised their hands.
Chairman Boris pointed to the reporter sitting in the middle.
He was a middle-aged reporter who looked seasoned.
“This is Reporter Parker of the New York Post. I enjoyed the signing ceremony. There are a few superficial questions, but I will ask them straight to the point.”
Fellow reporters looked at him with surprised faces. This was not the man to ask questions like this.
“In a situation where Mingaz’s cash flow is poor, why did they sign an agreement with a venture company that has not yet produced any results? “All of the technologies developed by the doctor have been made public, and Natas has not made any differentiated announcements.”
Several reporters nodded.
The technology that Dr. Hyerin disclosed was not a commercial technology.
Just as nuclear fusion has not yet been commercialized, the development of mana stones has only been a laboratory-level success.
Even now, many research labs conducting experiments keep making announcements that it is difficult to solve technical challenges within a short period of time.
“Isn’t it possible that performance for investment is not possible?”
Reporters who knew him gaped at Reporter Parker’s last question. I can’t believe a representative reporter from a trashy newspaper would ask such a sharp question.
There was even speculation as to whether the two companies had been photographed by the New York Post.
From the first question, the atmosphere was not good.
The reporters were buzzing, but fortunately the expressions on the two people’s faces at the interview were not bad.
“I think I can answer that.”
Chairman Boris stepped down and Hyerin stood in front of the microphone.
The conference room became quiet. Everyone looked at Hyerin’s mouth.
“I was planning to announce it separately later, but now that things have turned out like this, I guess I can’t help it.”
She gestured to the researchers who came with her.
Two men in white lab coats went to the corner of the podium and brought a large piece of equipment on a cart.
It was a piece of equipment that had been set up in a corner with a black cloth covering it. It was in a dark corner so people didn’t pay attention.
The researchers stopped the cart in the center of the podium and removed the cloth.
It was a cylindrical device the size of a table. Electronic equipment and measuring instruments were attached to the sides, and the top was rounded in the shape of a large bowl. A pattern consisting of circles and lines was drawn on the hollow surface.
Hyerin stood next to the equipment and stroked the surface with her hand.
“I am introducing this for the first time. “This is the prototype of the world’s first commercialized mana stone generator.”
The chairman became quiet at the sudden announcement.
A small exclamation was heard, followed by a barrage of cameras.
Papa pa pa pa paak!
“I have a question!”
“When was it completed?”
“How is the performance?”
“Can I use any mana stones?”
“Please answer me!”
At the same time, numerous questions arose.
But before answering the question, Hyerin first took out a small jewel from her pocket. It was a mana stone.
Ugh.
The mana stone floated in her hand and slowly moved over the generator. Mana Stone is her characteristic. It was moving by telekinesis.
The mana stone stopped floating in the center of the generator’s concave fan.
Hyerin turned on the generator switch.
Buuuuuung.
The pattern engraved on the upper surface of the generator began to brighten.
The mana stone rotated quietly and the readings on the instrument soared.
It’s a disaster.
Outside the window it became bright. Light came into the entire building across from the presentation hall.
Hyerin spoke to the reporters who were startled by the sudden light.
“We have solved both the mid-air clearance and energy transmission problems of mana stones, which have been difficulties in development so far. This small mana stone can provide the power of a 10-story building. We are currently on our 30th day with the test equipment.”
I still didn’t know when it would end. Could it be two months, half a year, or a year? However, just 30 days was enough to supplement and replace existing energy.
‘Moreover, replication is impossible.’
The mana stone did not react at all unless it was engraved with a pattern using a unique material.
All information sent by EV.
It was a pathetic thing for a scientist to do, but she didn’t care.
I could have done more if it helped Kyung-hoon. She was satisfied enough for now.
“I’d like to ask you a question.”
Reporters raised their hands so that they touched the roof.
Chairman Boris, who was standing on one side of the podium and watching the scene, was impressed by Hyerin’s directing.
They invited reporters to attract attention and even announced a new generator. The flowing production made me want to slap my hand.
Certainly, those involved in EV were different. Moreover, the passion and loyalty Dr. Hyerin showed for EV was more surprising than her skills.
‘A girl in love? Or should I say believer?’
Anyway, I was just satisfied with being able to see the power of EV.
Thanks to this, the story about the situation in Russia and his company fell into place. Today’s articles were all going to be full of rosy articles about today’s announcement.
“So far, everything has gone as he said.”
The chairman’s expression became serious.
The powerhouse of EV that I met in the living room of my own home. It was happening as he said.
And among them, there were words that I wished would not come true.
‘He’s the President of Russia…’
If it were a country like Europe or the United States, it would have been worth the challenge, but his home country, Russia, was close to a dictatorship.
If I dared to take on the challenge, I could have received a car containing radioactive material.
Honestly, I was scared. I would never have accepted it if he hadn’t said the following.
“Shouldn’t you protect your daughter who has become an Awakened woman? “If your daughter’s traits are discovered, it will be difficult to protect them.”
It was not long ago that my daughter, who recovered from an illness, became an awakened person. An ordinary awakened person might have reported it, but the daughter’s characteristics made it impossible to do so.
The daughter appeared to have accessed EV’s homepage. Although he was told to keep it a secret, it may have been difficult to keep it a secret from EV, who saved his life.
“Is this a threat?”
“no. This is just to help you. “It doesn’t matter if it’s someone else anyway.”
At that time, the man’s words rang true. And what he said was true. An ordinary business president could not protect his daughter forever.
The press conference was slowly coming to an end. It was finally time for him to step out.
It was then.
“It’s urgent!”
There was a commotion behind the press corps.
“The second wave has begun!”
Chairman Boris closed his eyes.
It had finally begun. The road to becoming president. A path made of people’s blood.
The chairman became noisy.
“Which country is it!”
“It is not one country. The wave originated from the North Pole! Monsters are coming down south!”
From monsters in Alaska and the cold Arctic to monsters in the Siberian tundra.
Monsters are starting to come down south in search of food.
***
A pharmaceutical company located on the outskirts of Gyeonggi-do.
Even this quiet place is quite noisy. It was scary, because Kyung-hoon was bustling around and packing his bags.
“I didn’t know the timing would coincide. I think the joint announcement was buried.”
-Countries directly related to the wave suffered a loss in publicity as the owner said. However, there was no change in other countries and we were able to gain more interest in Russia. Kyung-hoon nodded as he stuffed the equipment Omar made into his backpack
. . At that level, there wasn’t a big problem.
Fortunately, the order of the monster waves that occurred in the other world and the monster waves in this world were not very different so far.
This Arctic wave also occurred only once earlier than in the other world.
“I didn’t think there would be more time . “I thought it was busy.”
We haven’t even completed a proper team yet. But something happened, so we had to move.
“What did Jinhyuk say?”
-I decided to join the association members at the airport.
After the Congo operation, Eve was in direct contact with Jinhyuk and Marcelo. The two people knew it as Jinhyuk’s phone secretary sent by EV.
“What about Marcelo?”
-We’ve already left.
Kyung-hoon seemed to be the last one to gather his luggage.
At that moment, the office door burst open.
Jin Xia-wei came in. Jin Xia-wei was out of breath, which was unusual for her.
“You’re not late, are you?”
In her arms, out of breath, she held a plastic bag full of potion bottles.
She handed the bag to Kyung-hoon.
“Here you go. It was made properly.”
She patted her hand as she handed him the plastic bag, but she couldn’t hide the sweat flowing down her face.
“What about Omar?”
“He’s making a sculpture in his room. I guess he doesn’t want to see him off.”
He seemed very surprised by what happened last time.
“Please do it for me.”
“Well, other than me, my sisters are also happy, so I don’t have to worry.”
It seemed like he had become a lot closer to the awakened people from China. Kyung-hoon nodded.
-The harem went to a different place.
Unfortunately, Eve’s sense of humor didn’t seem to have changed much from before. Finally,
the potion that Jin Xia-wei brought . The cleanup was completed.
Kyung-hoon wrapped his backpack around his head.
“Please come without getting hurt.”
After seeing that Kyung-hoon was ready, Jin Xia-wei left the room first.
She looked like her.
But that didn’t seem to be the case.
– She was still watching through the window last time.
“Why are you saying that now?”
-You didn’t ask.
Eve seemed to have changed.
Anyway, preparations were completed. Kyung-hoon asked Eve,
“Did you post the notice?”
-Yes. It was posted on the EV homepage and major sites in each country.
Kyung-hoon took out his cell phone and went online. I checked.
There was a notice in the portal window.
[Notice to all Awakened who can fight.
A wave has occurred in the Arctic region. Great damage is expected in each country.
Awakened who can fight must prevent this wave. Please join us.
EV is coordinating entry into the country with each country. Those who live in countries not related to Wave are also encouraged to participate as much as possible.
EV will pay all incidental costs for participation.
Necessary equipment will be rented and Monster’s I will also purchase corpse mana stones. This
is the first starting point of EV’s founding goal.
The reason EV has protected the awakened is because the awakened can save the world. I
hope to show the results with this wave. Please send us your strength, awakened ones.]
Of course, Russia was not among the countries being coordinated.
Kyunghoon turned off his phone. It had finally begun.
That day, a charter plane carrying Kyung-hoon and his group departed. The destination was Finland.
