Chapter 729

Episode 729: Jang Yeong-sil’s Legacy (6)

After inspecting the railroad track factory, Hyang slowly began to feel anxious.

‘I’m starting to feel more and more anxious about this. I don’t think what Tae Sang-tae said back then was just foreshadowing.’

Just before Hyang left for Shinji, King Sejong said something meaningful to Hyang about Shinji.

-There is something that will be the end of Jang Yeong-sil and the beginning of the emperor. Of course, there will be some headaches due to budget issues.

“At first, I thought it was just a few objects, but I guess it’s not...”

Hyang’s expression became more and more serious due to the anxious energy creeping up.

“It’s not like I don’t know how Tae Sang-tae controls people, no, I don’t. “I know it well.”

Sejong was a man who made his subordinates work as hard as he worked hard.

This was not about unconditionally handing over work and ordering, ‘Do it!’.

After figuring out exactly what the person in question liked and what they were good at, he placed them in the optimal position and worked. He was a person who told people to do things.

Or, he grabbed critical weaknesses

and shook them while giving them appropriate carrots (mainly power) to make them do things.

Representative examples of the former were Jinpyeong Anpyeong and Kim Jeom, while representative examples of the latter were Hwang Hee and Jo Mal-saeng.

And Hyang was the former and the latter. It was a combined situation.

Of course, Hyang brought it on himself the most. The reason

Hyang created the research center and Area 51 was to promote his virtue in the name of ‘prospering the nation and strong military.’

Since he produced clear results in this area, King Sejong provided support. It didn’t stop.

However, Sejong realized that the incense was doing good work through the research institute and Area 51.

And Sejong never missed this. With the budget as a weapon, Sejong made sure to roll out the incense whenever necessary

. King Sejong clearly used this justification.

Knowing this well, Hyang began to become more and more anxious.

“Your Majesty, have you found any problems in this factory? ”

Jang On, who became anxious as Hyang’s expression became increasingly serious, asked Hyang cautiously.

Hyang, who had come to his senses at Jang On’s question, shook his head.

“No, I just have something to think about. I’ve seen the orbital factory, so next. Let’s move it.”

“Yes, Your Majesty. Then, I will take you to the research and development buildings. Please get on the train.”

“That’s right...”

***

“These are the research building and the development building? I think they should be called ‘si’ rather than ‘dong’?”

As soon as you arrive at the entrance, get off the car and go to the research building. After seeing the size of the development complex, Hyang and Ian asked Jang On with a puzzled expression. Jinpyeong, who was sitting next to him, nodded eagerly with the same expression on his face.

Jang On responded to Hyang’s evaluation with a humble smile.

“Because it is a place where a lot of dangerous materials and gunpowder firearms are used, we tried to space out the buildings, and it ended up like this.”

“Area 51 in Seoul has less space than here, but such incidents rarely happened. Of course, it’s good to keep some distance between people, but isn’t it even better to pay thorough attention to safety? If you take up this much space from the beginning, won’t there be a shortage later? ”

“Humans are forgetful beings, so the Great Emperor has commanded that it is better to create a space between people.

And if there is no space to build a building, the Great Emperor has said that it is best to expand it around the area.”

“Is that so? Then there is nothing we can do.”

‘Is this the situation before the start? ‘

Grumbling inwardly, Hyang continued to point out.

“It’s good to ensure safety by leaving space between buildings, and it’s good to increase the size of the buildings to provide more space for production and experimentation. However, if it’s this large, it won’t be easy to move the objects. How did you solve this? Hmm... “Have we made many portable potter’s wheels?”

“We have made many potter’s wheels, but potter’s wheels alone have their limitations.

So the former director

created a new object.”

“New product?”

As soon as I heard the word ‘new technology,’ my eyes lit up. Jang-on, who saw the scent like that, was about to open his mouth when he heard a bell ringing from one side.

Jingling jingling! Chi-ik! Cheek!

“That piece is coming just at the right time. It is that one.”

Hyang, who was examining the object in question at Jang On’s words, cried out inwardly.

“I guess that’s possible. So is this useful? “

“It is usable at a certain speed. However, there are limits as deer roam in numbers of hundreds and hundreds in the area where the railroad tracks are laid, and herds of bison roam in numbers of hundreds or thousands in the southern area that is currently being developed.

Therefore, there is a limit to the ability for such a large herd of animals to roam. It is best

to stop for a moment and wait for the herd to pass, or to chase it away and then

speed up as much as possible to make up for the delay .”

“That almost didn’t happen when I came this time, right?”

Jang On immediately responded to Hyang’s point.

“Perhaps the cavalry organized it at the right time.”

“Ah...”

Hyang, who nodded lightly in response to Jang On, pointed out another problem.

“With the current iron horse, there will be limits even if the speed is increased, right? ”

Jinpyeong, who was next to Hyang’s point, nodded his head loudly. Jinpyeong’s biggest complaint was the speed of the iron horse. The speed of the iron

horse in general use today was similar to the speed at which a horse runs.

It was not slow, but the wide plains of Bukji Considering this, we need faster iron horses!

This was the consensus of railway construction officials, and Area 51 was also continuing to make improvements to solve this problem.

To Hyang’s point, Jang On smiled and answered,

“That’s why the former director came up with the idea. This is it.”

With these words, Jang On sent a hand signal to the craftsmen standing behind him. The craftsmen who saw Jang On’s hand signal immediately ran somewhere.

After a while, the door of one of the parking garages attached to the development building opened and an iron horse came out. It appeared.

Beep!

The iron horse that appeared made a loud noise. Seeing the appearance of the iron horse, Hyang opened her eyes wide and Jinpyeong screamed in joy. “That’s

right ! This is the iron horse!”

The iron horse that appeared boasted of its enormous size.

“The iron horse I’m using now is so big it makes me look like a child.”

“Yes, it’s a bit big.”

“It’s not a bit...”

Hyang shook his head at the word ‘a bit’.

‘I can’t believe I lived to see a high-speed steam locomotive in this era...’ The

huge iron horse in front of Hyang now boasted a similar shape and size to the monstrous steam locomotives that roamed around in the twilight of steam locomotives in the 1930s.

“This is it! This is it! ”

Unlike Jinpyeong, who was delighted to see the huge iron horse, Hyang examined the iron horse carefully and

asked Jang On a question.

“It is quite large... How many stokers will you have?”

“There are two. However, to ensure smooth operation, four passengers are required to ride. “I also plan to have three coachmen who handle iron horses, not just one.”

“Three coachmen?”

“One person handles the iron horse, one person watches the surroundings, and the last one takes a rest.”

When Jang On said this, Hyang immediately pointed out the problem.

“If you want to be safe, let’s go in groups of four. Watching the surroundings also takes a lot of mental energy. “I understand.”

”

If that’s the case, then the rest area is the problem...”

In response to Hyang’s point, Jang On showed the small space created between the iron horse and the tender.

“Make a rest area by making small rooms on the left and right like this. I made it for you. And here comes the side.”

“It’s okay...”

Hyang’s face became more serious as he nodded.

‘Just looking at this, it looks like it took up a lot of budget... Are you mad about this? ‘

In the past, it was a fragrance that received a lot of criticism every time it requested time and budget from King Sejong.

‘The person who did that! and! It is unfair!’

It was a scent that made me cringe with an inexplicable sense of injustice.
