Episode 308 Doctor Eyes
Changes began to appear inside the ‘black tree’ of the world where the morning star was.
As Do-jun began his plan to build a ‘children’s hospital’ in North Korea, a ‘blue light’ began to beat like a heart deep within the black tree.
The blue light stretched out its tentacles towards the ‘Pieces of Destiny’ scattered everywhere.
As soon as the tentacle touched the piece, the ‘Piece of Destiny’ shattered with a ‘bang’. Then, the blue light grew brighter and brighter.
The ‘Lucky Letter’ was delivered directly to Zhang Linfeng (Bruce). After receiving the ‘Lucky Letter’, Bruce was troubled.
‘Use barbarians to control barbarians. Are you trying to make the relationship between North and South Korea worse?’
This chain letter was a little different than the previous ones. Up until now, they had all told you how to do something in detail, but this time, instead of actions, they only had goals.
‘Is this a new test?’
Zhang Linfeng immediately searched for news about South and North Korea. He heard quite a lot of news. Then, Zhang Linfeng’s eyes opened wide at one news story.
‘What? North Korea closed the Kaesong Industrial Complex?’
The news showed South Korean factory owners pleading over the closure of the Kaesong Industrial Complex.
The moment he saw that, Zhang Linfeng jumped up.
‘This is it!’
Zhang Linfeng immediately contacted Liao Weisheng and secretly instructed him to purchase machines from the Kaesong Industrial Complex.
‘If you tell them to sell other countries’ machines, they’ll hesitate at first. But eventually, North Korea will sell. What they need is money, right? If you buy it for a high price, there’s no way it won’t sell.’
A few weeks later, new news broke: North-South relations were further worsening after North Korea sold Kaesong Industrial Complex machines to China.
Zhang Linfeng laughed out loud when he saw the news. His plan was a great success.
But a few days later, an unexpected article appeared.
“What? You’re building a children’s hospital in North Korea?”
And in that article, the name he feared the most in the world was written: Hwang Do-jun.
* * *
In his previous life, Do-jun wasn’t very interested in Kim Jong-un or North Korea.
They didn’t really care whether they conducted a nuclear test, threatened to turn South Korea into a sea of fire, or whether inter-Korean relations improved and brought about a peaceful atmosphere.
Because it had nothing to do with me.
‘But there was one thing that caught my interest for a moment: games.’
Learning that games are made in North Korea was as shocking as seeing the news about the damage caused by torrential rains in the desert.
Dojun, who is crazy about games, used the dark passage to get the game and played it.
‘There were racing games, and there were games that copied Sonic, but they were all pathetic.’
It was a ‘bad game’ with graphics that looked like they came out in the 80s and awkward movements.
I didn’t think anyone would play this game.
‘But there was one good game.’
It was a ‘Baduk game’ where graphics did not have much of an impact.
‘Baduk was different. Baduk AI technology was actually one level higher than our country’s technology at the time.’
Dojun searched to see who made it, but couldn’t find it.
Since then, Do-jun checked out articles about North Korean games every once in a while. Then, by chance, he came across an article about Kim Jong-un’s successor.
[Successor’s Lesson? North Korea’s Kim Jong-un Spotted with Daughter Kim Ju-ae.]
The article was simple: Kim Jong-un appeared at an event with his daughter Kim Ju-ae.
It was an ordinary article. The only problem was that the word ‘son’ was mentioned in the middle of the article.
Kim Jong-un’s son has never been seen in public before, and rumors are that it is because he is sick.
‘What did you say? The son is sickly and doesn’t resemble Kim Jong-un, but the daughter does? So you said the next successor to North Korea is more likely to be the daughter, not the son.’
Dojun suddenly remembered this.
‘Then isn’t this what Kim Jong-un is interested in now?’
Do-jun boldly asked the National Intelligence Service to include this phrase.
[Opening of a clinic to strengthen sick and undersized children.]
Bang Se-ok, who received Do-jun’s request, looked dumbfounded.
“No, what is this?”
“It’s exactly as it says. A clinic that makes you strong.”
“No, sir. Don’t you know that the food situation in North Korea is not good? In North Korea, a land of starving children, you are setting up a clinic to make them strong? The moment the North Koreans see this, they will think that you are insulting them.”
Do-jun chuckled at Bang Se-ok’s words.
“I guess so. But I’m sure there are people who are interested in this.”
“yes?”
“Just trust me and wait for North Korea’s response.”
Bang Se-ok made a dumbfounded expression at Do-jun’s words.
“This is as good as it gets.”
“But please pass it on to North Korea. It is absolutely necessary to remove the hacked files.”
Bang Se-ok made a displeased expression at Do-mun’s words, but soon sighed and answered.
“Really… Representative Hwang, you have to take responsibility for this result.”
In the end, Bang Se-ok sent a proposal for a ‘children’s hospital’ to North Korea. A day or two passed like that.
Everyone thought North Korea would reject it. But a week later, they got a call from North Korea.
Bang Se-ok muttered to himself with an expression that said it was nonsense.
“What…? You want to meet at Panmunjom?”
* * *
“Honestly, I’ve been to Panmunjom so many times in my life.”
Panmunjom, which I had only seen on the news in my previous life, was right in front of me. Do-jun attended this meeting as a worker at the ‘Children’s Hospital.’
Soldiers from the South and the North were seen with their uniforms raised. As if to represent the already poor relationship between the South and the North, a sharp tension flowed through Panmunjom.
However, the reporter was not visible. This meeting was not secret, but it was not a public meeting.
First, the ministerial level talks between the North and South were held, and then working-level talks were held. Do-jun attended these talks.
Before entering the meeting, National Intelligence Service Director Bang Se-ok whispered to Do-jun.
“Representative Hwang. Lee Yun-cheol hasn’t come. What are you going to do?”
Lee Yun-cheol was the person in charge of the hacking unit. Since his scope of work was different from that of the children’s hospital, there was no reason for him to come.
“We have to make him come here.”
“How?”
Dojun smiled as he held up a booklet. The booklet had the title, ‘Doctor Eyes User Manual’ written on it.
“You can just watch.”
After a while, the meeting began. The North was giving off a cold vibe, as if to show that the relationship between the South and the North is not good these days.
However, when Do-jun said that the South would pay all the costs of establishing and maintaining the hospital and that North Korea would also be in charge of its operation, his expression changed slightly.
In particular, there was great interest in explaining the effectiveness of the ‘clinic that makes sick and stunted children strong’.
“Ahem, I will accept it in the best possible way considering the sincerity of the South. But, the introduction of the medical program and the network construction written here? Are these really necessary?”
Do-jun responded to the North Korean official’s words.
“Yes. In South Korea, all doctors use the medical program, ‘Doctor Eyes.’ It’s hard to find a place where they write charts on paper.
“Doctor… Eyes?”
“Yes. Here’s the user manual. With this program, when you take an X-ray or CT scan, it will be sent directly to your doctor over the network.
You can also share chart information from different departments. What if you have a dwarf child? You need to find out the cause. It could be pediatrics, but it could also be a surgical problem. With Dr.Eyes, you can collaborate with each other. That’s why you need a program and a network.”
The North Korean officials took on a serious expression at Do-jun’s words.
“I understand the need, but… we will discuss this and then respond.”
“All right.”
After the meeting ended, Bang Se-ok quickly approached Do-jun and asked.
“No. How did you come up with such an idea? Network construction and medical programs! The North will ask the experts about this.”
“Yes. It will go up to Lee Woon-cheol.”
Director Bang laughed loudly and spoke to Do-jun.
“Hey, Zhuge Liang is not like that. Isn’t it almost finished at this point? If you do network construction, you can hack it, right?”
Dojun shook his head.
“No. Lee Yun-cheol is an expert. He might figure it out right away. Besides, there’s no guarantee that Lee Yun-cheol will actually come, and even if he does, the problem won’t be over, right?”
“Yeah… that’s right.”
“The real thing will happen after I meet Lee Yun-cheol.”
Do-jun returned home again. And a week later, Do-jun was able to meet Lee Un-cheol at Panmunjom.
* * *
“Yes? You want me to attend the meeting?”
Lee Yun-cheol was surprised by the director of the Reconnaissance General Bureau’s request to attend a meeting to establish a ‘children’s hospital’.
“Yeah. The South Korean guys are saying that they need to use a medical program or something, and that they even need network construction. You go and check if it’s true.”
Lee Yun-cheol’s heart fluttered. It was a place he had secretly wanted to go to, but he was worried because he had no way to go, and then the opportunity came.
‘I heard that in children’s hospitals in South Korea, you can receive chemotherapy and use clinical treatments?’
Lee Yun-cheol asked casually.
“Okay. I… but, if there’s a children’s hospital, would my son be able to use it too?”
The director frowned at Lee Yun-cheol’s words.
“Hey, Lee Woon-chul! Are you thinking of personal matters before the affairs of the country right now? If your loyalty is great, wouldn’t you be able to use it?”
Lee Yun-cheol clenched his fist.
‘So in the end, you’re saying that you may or may not be able to use it.’
Lee Yun-cheol bit his lips and lowered his head.
“No, I made a mistake. I will go and investigate thoroughly.”
“Yes! Don’t forget! Get ready right away.”
The next day, Lee Un-cheol moved to Panmunjom. Panmunjom was also Lee Un-cheol’s first time visiting the place.
Lee Yun-cheol entered the conference room and was shocked.
‘That person? Isn’t that CEO Hwang Do-jun?’
Lee Woon-chul had heard that a representative of a South Korean game company was coming, but he had not heard that it was Hwang Do-jun.
Only then did Lee Woon-chul find out where the money to build the ‘Children’s Hospital’ came from.
‘Hwang Do-jun is one of the top 3 richest people in South Korea. But in reality, he is the richest. That’s because his Bitcoin wealth is not included. And his wealth in the United States is not fully disclosed either.’
Lee Woon-chul’s heart raced at the thought of seeing the person who dominates the global IT industry right in front of him.
“Hello, this is Hwang Do-jun.”
When Hwang Do-jun reached out his hand, Lee Woon-cheol took it.
“Hello. This is Lee Woon-cheol.”
That’s how Lee Yun-cheol and Hwang Do-jun first met.
The meeting was not long. The main purpose of today’s meeting was to ‘verify the hospital system.’
Dojun demonstrated by connecting ‘Doctor Eyes’ installed in the conference room to a network.
Outside the conference room, there was a medical bus equipped with ‘X-LAY’ and ‘ultrasound’ equipment, and Director Bang Se-ok conducted a test examination.
The results were immediately transmitted to Do-jun’s laptop in the conference room, and the doctor who saw the laptop made a diagnosis right away.
“Director Bang, your liver color is too dark. I think you should go to the hospital and get a detailed diagnosis.”
Bang Se-ok’s face hardened at the unexpected diagnosis. It was a look that no one could have guessed.
“No, sir. Is it really that bad?”
“First of all, we need to get a detailed diagnosis to know for sure, but it seems like you drank too much.”
“ah!”
The director of the National Intelligence Service showed a look of despair. This test brought despair to the director of the National Intelligence Service, but conversely, it gave confidence to North Korean officials.
North Korean officials asked if they could test it themselves, and they did so immediately.
The results came out quickly. The North Korean medical staff all nodded as they saw the results being confirmed immediately after taking the X-ray and ultrasound.
Lee Yun-cheol spoke to the Director of the Reconnaissance General Bureau who was looking at him.
“There’s nothing particularly strange.”
“Okay? Got it.”
But then, Hwang Do-jun handed over the laptop he was using and said,
“I’ll give you this laptop because I think there might be something you’d like to look into, and it contains medical information about North Korean officials. Would you feel uncomfortable if I deleted it?”
“Ahem.”
The North Koreans responded with a cough.
“This laptop contains the Doctor Eyes program you saw earlier, as well as the medical information I diagnosed earlier. I’ll give you this laptop, so please go and take a closer look.”
At Do-jun’s words, the Director of the Reconnaissance General Bureau looked at Lee Woon-cheol. When Lee Woon-cheol nodded slightly, the Director of the Reconnaissance General Bureau answered.
“Okay, I’ll take it with gratitude. I’ll review it carefully and give it to you later.”
“You don’t have to give it to me, but I will take it if you give it to me.”
The meeting was over. On the way back, the Chief of the Reconnaissance General Bureau spoke to Lee Un-cheol.
“Take a good look at that program. They might have hidden something like a hacking program inside it.”
“I will check thoroughly.”
“Okay. Bring your laptop to the office and check it out tomorrow. I’ll trust you.”
“yes!”
The next day, Lee Yun-cheol turned on his laptop in his office. There was a soldier from the Reconnaissance General Bureau around him whom he had never seen before.
‘You’re the watcher sent by the director.’
It was shocking that they were spying even inside the office, but I figured it was because they were just looking at the laptop South Korea had given me.
‘Hmm, nothing special… … .’
Lee Woon-chul, who had been watching ‘Doctor Eyes’ for a while, tilted his head.
‘What is this? Isn’t this CEO Hwang Do-jun’s X-ray photo?’
Hwang Do-jun didn’t take an X-ray yesterday. But there was a ‘diagnosis’ record on it.
‘What? Was it a mistake? Or was it intentional?’
Lee Woon-cheol swallowed dry saliva and clicked on Hwang Do-jun’s name.
‘huh?’
Lee Woon-chul looked at Hwang Do-jun’s X-ray. There was nothing unusual.
‘Are you just trying it out?’
Even when he ran the hacking program, nothing was detected. Lee Woon-cheol thought that it was just for testing and tried to close it.
But then it happened.
‘huh?’
It wasn’t the X-ray image, but the image information that showed something strange.
‘The capacity is… different.’
Lee Woon-chul looked at the capacity of other people’s X-ray images. All other files were similar, but Do-jun’s file was different. It was three times larger.
‘what?’
A strange thought occurred to me.
‘Virus? Hacking?’
Lee Yun-cheol shook his head. The network was cut off here. It wouldn’t be a problem even if he had planted a virus he didn’t know about.
‘CEO Hwang Do-jun, what did you do?’
It was then that Lee Woon-cheol remembered what Hwang Do-jun had said when he said goodbye to Do-jun.
“I heard Pyongyang’s cold noodles are so delicious? And the portions are huge. My 10-year-old nephew loves cold noodles so much, I’d like to try eating them with him until he’s full.”
At the time, I thought it was nothing special, but now that I look at the X-ray, it has meaning.
‘There are a lot of sheep? Above? Nephew?’
The X-ray image you were looking at was of the upper body. Lee Woon-chul looked at the part where the ‘stomach’ was located.
The X-ray didn’t show anything, but I had a feeling there might be something there.
‘Do you mean the size of the sheep? And your 10-year-old nephew?’
Lee Yun-cheol swallowed dry saliva. His son was ten years old.
Lee Woon-cheol looked at the ‘watcher’ on the monitor. He kept looking out the window, perhaps because he was bored of standing there.
‘It’s now.’
Lee Woon-cheol copied Do-jun’s X-ray file onto a USB and took it out.
“The inspection is over. Where is the director?”
The watcher answered Lee Yun-cheol’s words.
“He said he was going out.”
“Really? Then you should put this laptop in your locker. The results were nothing special, but I’ll report it to the director.”
“All right.”
Lee Yun-cheol left the office and returned home as usual.
Lee Yun-cheol took the USB out of his pocket. His expression was extremely stiff.
‘If I get caught doing this, I’ll die. But… for Hyunjin’s sake… … .’
Lee Yun-cheol, who plugged the USB into his computer, decomposed the photo into binary units. And then he discovered something exactly in the ‘above’ part.
‘This is!’
It was an encrypted file. And encryption was something he was most confident in.
Lee Yun-cheol spent the whole night cracking the code. And at 5 a.m., a new file opened before his eyes.
