The Tycoon Who Flies Into Space Episode 83

Episode 83: Weapon Development Research Begins

I remember it hurting a lot, but I had no idea how bad it was.

“How much will it hurt?”

[Should I try out a very simple blueprint?]

I was about to give it a try, but then I came to my senses. This guy was sticking his tongue out so strangely that I fell halfway without even realizing it.

“No, that’s fine.”

[Tch, this time… … .]

I couldn’t hear the details of what he was saying, but it was obvious what he was trying to do.

“This son of a bitch!”

[Master, this is not a joke, this is really necessary. This is something that will have to be done at some point in the future for information security.]

“Okay, it’s not urgent, so why should I rush?”

[To meet and persuade people from that lineage, the master must have extensive knowledge of all aspects of the engine.]

It was even more annoying because it was true.

“Is the engine side data reliable?”

[I checked the memory device and there is nothing missing, from basic engine data to the latest data.]

Certainly, before coming here, the area I was most interested in was the development of new spacecraft.

The best way to increase the distance you can travel in a solo warp is to make your ship bigger and more powerful, making it easier to overcome warp recoil.

Although the engines used in the vacuum of space are different from those used in aircraft that operate primarily in the atmosphere, the basic components were perfectly usable.

Even the basic engine boasted performance far superior to that of the Boeing 747 I currently fly.

If we develop aircraft engines and then tank engines, we can completely overturn existing weapon systems.

Fighter engines must withstand temperatures exceeding 1,500 degrees and have durability that can last for more than 3,000 hours.

It was difficult to use engine technology that was much more advanced than the existing fighter engines. The idea was to develop an engine that was just one step more advanced than this.

There was a lot of work ahead.

There were also additional missiles that needed to be developed. The more I thought about it, the more complicated the work became.

You’re receiving all that data through the brain interface?

Just thinking about it gave me goosebumps.

No matter how much I racked my brain, I had no choice but to use the brain interface to process important data.

“Take it slow. It’s not like it takes much time, and if you develop them one by one, the work will eventually be finished. Ariel, how much will that hurt?”

[How do I know that? I’ll just hand over a small blueprint for testing. If the shock to your brain is too great, you’ll just have to store the data externally.]

“That’s true.”

Even if Ariel tries to play a prank, it won’t cause any harm to me as the Master.

If I had known this would happen, I would have studied in advance.

[It starts now.]

As soon as Ariel finished speaking, a pain appeared in my head.

“Eugyagyagyagya.”

The next morning.

I dragged my tired body up to the second floor and it was killing me.

At that moment, Jamie, who was drinking tea with Jeongyeon, caught my eye.

“Oh my god, I’m dying.”

Jamie’s eyes grew wide as he watched me flop down on the sofa.

“Why do you look so tired?”

After staying up all night and being fed information, my head was a mess. Naturally, my face couldn’t have looked good.

Even now, the information I had injected was swimming in my head.

“I worked hard all night looking at materials and now I feel like I’m going to die.”

“What material did you see that made you look half-dead?”

“Materials related to engine development.”

“Engine development? Are you trying to develop a car engine?”

“No, other than that, I wanted to learn about airplane engines.”

“Are you trying to acquire an engine company?”

That would have required acquiring GE or Pratt, but the U.S. government would not have permitted it.

I couldn’t even be bothered to bring it up, so I just shook my head.

“You look really tired. Should I get you a cup of tea?”

Looking at the tea the two of them were drinking, I didn’t think much of it.

“No, I just want to rest for a bit. What were you two talking about?”

“We were talking about the movie we’re making this time. We’re going to find a director and start shooting in the spring.”

“Who is the director?”

“I decided to do it with Richard Curtis.”

“Richard Curtis? He’s famous as a screenwriter. I enjoyed Notting Hill, which he wrote, but he’s a film director?”

“Yeah, I was surprised too. I’m close with Valentina, so I asked her and she agreed. She’s currently preparing to direct a movie, but we’re going to film our movie first.”

A rookie director who works mainly in the UK? It was half a gamble. When I tilted my head, Jeongyeon interjected.

“Suzy said Richard is the best director for this movie. She said he has a knack for melodramatic films.”

“We decided to film in Napa Valley, California.

“Napa Valley?”

“There are many famous vineyards there, and the female protagonist is the owner of those vineyards.”

The two of them talked about the movie for a long time, but I was so tired that my head was spinning.

“I’m going to go in and get some sleep.”

I went into the bedroom and threw myself on the bed. I wonder how long I slept, but when I woke up my condition was back.

My mind was also clear and clean.

I stretched and came out, and the house was quiet.

“Mister, is there something you are looking for? It is getting late and it is time for dinner. Would you like me to prepare it for you?”

It was Brown Williams, who worked as a butler at the mansion.

As the number of employees working at home exceeded ten, a new hire was made. He was an authentic butler who had graduated from a European butler school.

When Brown became the head of the household, the chaotic house became more organized.

He was definitely different from my friend Georges, who was only a butler in name.

“Where did everyone go?”

“Jamie went out because she had an appointment. Miss Jeongyeon went into the bedroom because she was tired.”

“What are you doing that makes you so tired!”

“I thought I’d wake you up because it’s meal time.”

“What’s for dinner?”

“I asked Mrs. Jeong because everyone seemed tired, and she recommended a light meal of samgyetang.”

Mrs. Jeong was the one who helped in the kitchen.

“Good choice. I’m looking forward to it.”

After waking up from sleep and eating a bowl of samgyetang with Jeongyeon, I started sweating and felt energized.

“Where did Jamie go?”

“I went out to meet my friends from the Miami meetup. Jamie said that my brother knows too.”

“Those guys? I know them too.”

The last time I met Jamie, we had been hanging out and partying for days, so everyone knew his face.

“I heard that they are getting engaged in February. Is that such a good thing?”

“what?”

“What do you mean engagement? Jamie turned into a radiant person once the date was set.”

“I don’t know either.”

I hesitated for a while and then just did it. I also made a firm promise not to fail this time.

When my parents came to LA and met Jamie, they knew that the two were deeply in love and quickly decided to set a date.

But I couldn’t make the schedule because of the movie I had to shoot.

So the engagement was decided in February. The wedding was to be held in the fall or next year after wrapping up this film.

As the engagement ceremony approached, I also felt excited.

The engagement ceremony took place at this mansion.

Even my grandfather, who hates coming to America, accepted it this time because he had no choice. Now, if I go to Korea, it becomes a huge hassle.

“I thought for a moment, ‘I wonder if it would be that good for me too.’”

I hesitated for a moment, wondering if this was something I should recommend to my younger sister.

“You figure it out.”

“If I tell you to, you have to do it like that. I told you to say it clearly whether you like it or not.”

“Wouldn’t it be bad? I’m a bit worried.”

After dinner, we had coffee and chatted with each other for the first time in a long time.

“Did you know that the stock prices of companies that invested in China have risen a lot?”

“Maotai? It’s been a while since I’ve seen the stock price.”

It was still difficult to check stock prices on the Shanghai Stock Exchange in the United States. It was closed and did not provide information overseas.

“Let me just check for a moment.”

“Who are you going to call? Let’s see. It’s 8 o’clock now, so it must be 5 in the morning in Shanghai.”

For a long time, I didn’t pick up the signal, but this guy was always like that.

– Hello? Who is this?

“Brother, it’s me Yongwon.”

– Oh, so what’s going on?

It’s been a while since I’ve had a phone call, so I feel really heavy.

“Don’t lower your voice, hyung. I have something to ask you.”

As I spoke, a loud crackling sound came from the other end of the receiver.

– What? I’m busy right now.

“I heard that you’re busy these days, playing Passionate Warriors all night long.”

– So you’re saying you’re busy? You came out hunting. If you have any questions, ask them quickly.

“How is the price of Maotai these days?”

– As of yesterday, it was 54 yuan per share. Okay, I’ll hang up.

Then I really hung up the phone. I was dumbfounded for a moment, holding the phone in my hands, and then I shook my head.

“… … Hyung! He’s crazy about games!”

“Where are you calling from, oppa?”

“Whew, to the CFO of Maotai.”

“Huh? Are you two close friends? It’s dawn there because of the time difference.”

“I heard that this guy is crazy about games and stays up all night.”

“game?”

“Did you hear that my uncle acquired shares in a game company? He said that the game the company made is called Passionate Warrior and is currently in service in the Chinese market. He’s so crazy about the game that he stays up all night every day.”

“Wow! He’s really an amazing person. If you call him hyung, he must be older than you.”

It was surprising that one person was so obsessed with games until the wedding.

Zhang Yilin’s wedding in the fall was held privately, so I couldn’t attend. Many of the current powerful figures in China were among the guests at the wedding, so foreigners were not allowed to attend.

Because of that, Zhang Yinlin felt sorry, but he thought it was because President Hu Jintao also attended the wedding.

Even if I had attended the wedding, it would have been incredibly uncomfortable.

“A man who got married in the fall is crazy about games, but his wife doesn’t seem to let him do anything about it.”

“It’s better than being crazy about alcohol and women. It’s not like the rich people in China are making a fuss these days. It’s much better than being crazy about women, from the wife’s perspective.”

“I heard what they said too. They said it was a real mess.”

Zhang Yilin said that there were more than one or two people like that around him. He heard that not only young people but also older people were really messed up.

Hong Eul-dae said that 3 or 4 servings is standard.

The area around Jang I-rin was relatively clean.

I don’t like that kind of thing. Just as fish cannot survive in clear water, if I had stayed on the party side, Jang Yi-rin would have gotten along with me appropriately, but after coming to the company, I lived as I pleased.

Even if I were Jo Hwi-in, I would have accepted Jang I-rin’s obsession with games without any problem.

Especially, Irin’s in-laws were very pleased with the fact that he was clean about women’s issues.

“Anyway, what is the stock price now?”

“54 yuan.”

“Wow! It went up so much. I bought it for about 20 yuan. It’s more than doubled in price.”

“You bought Maotai stocks at such a high price? You bought them at 14 yuan per share at first.”

“Heehee, I bought more shares in the stock market, so the purchase price per share went up.”

“Where did you get the money?”

At my words, Jeongyeon stuck out her tongue.

“I got an investment from my dad.”

I can’t kill this thing.

“It’s risky to invest in one stock like that.”

“It’s risky, but I did a lot of research before investing. Everyone said it was a stable stock. Everyone was surprised that I invested in a stock that is not easily accessible to foreigners.”
