Joseon’s shipbuilding technology
– The heart of the blue dragon awakens.
– The heart of the blue dragon trying to drive away the monster and the broken sword trying to hold the monster back collide.
– Hyochon, who has the power of the spirit, combines his power with the broken sword.
At the sudden message, Kishin concentrated his mind and looked at the broken sword. However, no matter how hard he strained his eyes, the broken sword remained still, and Hyocheon was also clinging tightly to Kishin’s side. Kishin hesitated to touch the broken sword, but decided to just wait.
– Amazing. The human will has triumphed. The heart of the Blue Dragon is asleep again.
– The Broken Sword feels affection towards Hyochon. It also feels affection towards the player, Gishin, who is connected to Hyochon by soul.
– Recover the broken sword. However, do not try to separate the hand bone and the hilt. The broken sword’s will is unexpectedly strong, and the player may be damaged.
When the broken sword won the fight with the dragon’s heart, the message changed. Kishin thought that the being who delivered the message was not an omnipotent being like God, but an artificial intelligence that simply delivered information. It was judged that it was likely an output information terminal that searched for related information and reported it when it found something. Otherwise, he would not have spoken so lightly about separating the hand bone from the handle in the first place.
The guard tried to grab the broken sword instead, but Kishin stopped him and grabbed it himself. Hundreds of years of time would have broken the bones, but the hand bones connected to the sword hilt were still strong. It was a broken sword, so it must have been a sword hilt, but because of its length of over 30 centimeters and the message, it felt like a sword hilt.
“Collect all the bones. There is a very high possibility that they are the remains of Admiral Yi Sun-sin. This broken sword definitely belongs to Admiral Yi Sun-sin.”
They collected every bone fragment, turning over the surrounding ground to collect all the bones that were presumed to be human bones. A pottery craftsman among the Japanese refugees delicately reassembled the bones. There were some empty spaces here and there, but the bones of a giant man nearly two meters tall were restored to their original shape.
When the potter asked for the hand bone that held the knife handle, Gisin shook his head.
“Even if you become a skeleton, you won’t put down your sword. What you lack, you make up for with porcelain.”
The pottery craftsman shaped the missing parts of the bone into porcelain and baked them with great care. The porcelain, which was not only beautiful but also sturdy, filled in the missing parts and placed it in a coffin made of sandalwood. The process took a week, and during that time, many Japanese refugees and Korean descendants came to visit and pay their respects to the remains of Admiral Yi Sun-sin.
Over the course of a week, the message rang out several times. Through those messages, the god was able to figure out the reason for this incident. As time went by and the broken sword was kept close by, the messages gave the god more and more detailed information.
The broken sword has the power to pull monsters. It is not a power that actually pulls, but a power that stimulates the monsters. The monsters head towards Jeju Island due to the stimulation of the broken sword. However, after a certain amount of time, the monsters no longer respond to the same stimulation and leave Jeju Island and head towards the place they originally intended to go.
Hyochon was influenced by the spirit bead that Gishin swallowed as he was connected to Gishin as a soul. Monsters consider spirits as one of their ancestors, but their spirit power is very weak. Because their spirit power is weak, they avoided the British Isles, which are protected by dragons, which are the opposite of spirit power. However, Hyochon was always close to the body of the god who swallowed the spirit bead, so his spirit power became very high.
Hyochun woke up this time and his spirit power was enough to find the location of the broken sword. Kishin felt like this was all a scenario waiting for his appearance, but he decided not to care anymore. If he could do his best and return to his original world, he would do it right away. Even if he couldn’t return, he would do his best and live without regrets until the end.
The second meeting was held in Jeju Island due to the new situation. While the gathered nobles discussed matters related to independence, Shindo, Kim Won-Gyeon, and Gishin held a separate meeting. Shindo created a barrier with a magical item to prevent eavesdropping.
“So you’re saying that the broken sword is the weapon used by General Yi Sun-sin, and that the will contained in it is what gathers the monsters. Are you sure?”
“I’m sure.”
“If the hand bone and the sword handle are separated, it means that monsters will no longer flock to Jeju Island.”
“But it would be very difficult to separate the hand bones. The willpower is so great that I wonder if there is anyone else among humans who can do it.”
“What does your Majesty think?”
Kim Won-Gyeon, who had been listening to the conversation between the god and the believer, opened his mouth.
“What would happen if we moved the position of the hilt?”
Judging from the tone of his speech, it seems like he is asking the question to himself.
“There is a very high possibility that the monsters will flock there. Are you sure you are not planning to bury this sword handle in the territory of the Korean Empire?”
Kim Won-Gyeon shook his head at Gi-Shin’s question.
“It’s a sure thing. If the Korean Empire falls, we will fall as well. We cannot be self-sufficient with just the land that the Korean Empire has granted us now. Of course, as time passes, the population will adjust on its own and we will become self-sufficient, but we may fall before that time comes.”
A believer who had been listening to Kim Won-Gyeon opened his mouth.
“Your Majesty, I think you have a good opinion.”
“I don’t have any opinions, but I’m thinking about burying him on an island called Hainan Island in the Ming Dynasty.”
The Korean Empire had only partially restored the areas between the Yellow River and the Yangtze River. That was why it was called the Ming instead of the Korean Empire. It was certainly a good idea, but Kishin felt uneasy.
“What if the distance is too far and the monsters don’t react?”
Kim Won-Gyeon also seemed lost in thought as if he had not thought that far ahead in response to Gishin’s question.
“How about Taiwan instead? It’s reasonably close to Japan.”
“Where is Taiwan?”
In response to Kim Won-Gyeon’s question, Ki-Shin realized that he had made a mistake. However, Ki-Shin, who did not even know Korean history properly, had no way of knowing what name Taiwan in China had been called in the past. Ki-Shin brought a map and drew a circle around the location he thought Taiwan was.
“I read in a book that there is an island here that is bigger than Haenam Island. I think it is close to Bokju.”
If Taiwan Island does not exist because it is another world, it can be buried in Fujian Province. The reason why they insist on burying it further south is because they are worried that if they bury it in Zhejiang or Jiangsu, Jeju Island will be in the monsters’ migration path. Since there is no accurate map, it is difficult to make a judgment, so they are trying to send it as far south as possible.
“But are there any ships that can sail long distances?”
Kim Won-Gyeon responded to Gi-Shin’s question in a nonchalant tone.
“The ship that reached the British Empire through the Arctic Ocean was made by us. Joseon’s shipbuilding technology is currently the best in the world. They can make a medium-sized ship that is very fast in three months.”
“What if we meet monsters on the way?”
“You don’t have to worry. If you make a turtle ship with the same technology as making a spiny turtle, you can attract the monsters’ attention with minimal effort.”
Kishin became convinced that Kim Won-Gyeon was a person who was only absorbed in his own world.
“We’re moving with broken swords. Of course, the monsters will be stimulated and come after us.”
It only takes three months to make one. But it takes three months to make a fleet. Kim Won-Gyeon was troubled by Gi-Sin’s words. At that moment, Shin-Do opened his mouth.
“It’s simple. You take a teleporter and go there. After you place the teleporter, activate it and have someone go there with a broken sword.”
“I am the only one who can hold that sword hilt. If anyone else holds it, their life will be in danger.”
“You are an important person. Let’s first check if there is anyone who can hold the sword in your place.”
If this plan succeeds in line with independence, Joseon will become stronger. Jeju Island will be visited by far fewer monsters than before, and the Korean Empire will be under greater pressure. When the Korean Empire is unable to adapt to the suddenly changed patterns of monsters, Joseon can prepare and respond in advance.
If anyone could take the hilt of the sword, it wouldn’t be a big achievement for anyone. However, if only the divine spirit known to everyone could take it, the credit would go to the Shin family. Then, the question of who should become the king of an independent country has already been decided. Kim Won-Gyeon pretended to be worried, but in fact, he was trying to find out the truth of the words.
At the cost of the lives of three prisoners, Gishin’s words were confirmed to be true. Shindo and Kim Won-gyeon continued to talk to discuss the details, and Gishin, tired of the nobles’ tricks, moved wherever his feet took him. Hyochun was always by his side, seemingly present and absent, so Gishin soon became oblivious to his presence.
After walking for a while, I saw young men who appeared to be Japanese refugees arguing under the Chungmu Monument. The Chungmu Monument is a stone monument in which the achievements of General Yi Sun-sin were written before his subordinate died. If it weren’t for this stone monument, the achievements of General Yi Sun-sin might have been forgotten.
As Kishin approached, the Japanese refugees hastily greeted him and asked him to judge whose words were true.
“If you die, you will live, if you run away, you will die. I think this means that if you risk your life to die, you will live, and if you run away to live, you will die.”
“No. Admiral Yi Sun-sin said, “Let us die to save them.” He clearly meant that if we die, the people will live, and if we live, the people will die.”
The opinions of the two were sharp. Since both had some sense, their supporters also spoke out loudly in defense of their supporters.
‘Who said Japanese people are quiet and considerate?’
“This is what I think.”
When Gisin opened his mouth, everyone waited quietly for Gisin to speak.
“If the general had run away with his men at that time to live, it would have been no different from being dead. Those who have lost their meaning in life are no better than dead. Soldiers are meant to protect their country and people, but the moment they turn a blind eye to the deaths of their people, they are dead as soldiers.”
“But the general beheaded those who insisted on running away and sacrificed his life for the people. Although he died, he still lives in the hearts of millions of people. This is what I think death means, life means death.”
The atmosphere became solemn. People’s respect grew even more as rumors spread that Admiral Yi Sun-sin’s hand bones still held the sword hilt hundreds of years later.
“Of course, I’m not saying that what I say is right. People have different thoughts after reading the same article. Instead of arguing about who is right and who is wrong, live your life doing what you think is right.”
After finishing his speech, Kishin quickly walked back. He might be able to return to his original world, but he wanted to leave some trace in this world. He wrote down whatever came to mind: things about hardware, programming techniques, statistics, and mathematical formulas that were not yet used in this world.
Because of me, a big change has occurred in this world. I don’t know if it’s a good change or a bad change. I don’t have the ability to take the initiative to make a good change in this world. I don’t know much about this world and I don’t have much power. Still, I wanted to do things that would be helpful to this world as much as possible, and minimize any negative influence I might have.
