Chapter 730

Episode 730: Jang Yeong-sil’s Legacy (7)

“Your Majesty, if your conviction is somehow wrong...”

Jang-on stuttered and asked with a frightened look on Hyang’s greatly distorted expression. In response to Jang-on’s question, Hyang waved his hand and answered. “ It

’s nothing. Don’t worry.”

“Yes, yes...”

he answered, but Jang On only observed Hyang’s thoughts. Anyway, I carefully inspected the new iron horse.

“Huh? This is a very small abdominal organ, isn’t it?”

Jang On quickly responded to Hyang’s point.

“The beasts of Shinji are literally so big that even if you use a boat flag, it is easy for the iron horse and carriage to derail.” “

In that case, shouldn’t we install a bigger boat flag?”

“Because there are limitations with the incubator, we are trying to apply other methods.”

“other way?”

“Please wait a moment!”

Jang On gestured urgently to the craftsmen standing behind him. The craftsmen who saw Jang On’s gesture brought the large paper scroll and desk they were holding.

The craftsmen put down their desks in front of the incense stick and unfolded scrolls on it.

Hyang looked at the picture drawn on the scroll and looked at Jang On.

“Are you saying we want to build a bridge over a plain rather than a valley or river? ”

“That’s right. When I looked at the movements of the herds of deer and bison, I saw that they were moving along a certain path. Since something happens when a railroad crosses

that path , it is better to build a bridge over the path where herds of bison and deer pass.”

“Hmm...”

Hyang snorted and looked at the picture again. The pier in question had a gentle arch.

“Considering that the arc is gentle and the gap between the iron horses and the carriages, we will have to build a huge bridge.”

“I don’t think size will be a problem since all that is left is land anyway.”

After hearing Jang On’s answer, Hyang asked Jinpyeong, who was closely examining the painting next to her,

“What do you think? ”

In response to Hyang’s question, Jinpyeong immediately answered,

“I think it will be okay. The problem is probably the budget.”

As soon as the word ‘budget’ came out, Hyang frowned. This was because the face of King Sejong, smiling mischievously at him, came to mind.

‘It definitely seems like a trap card...’

Even though she was so nervous on the inside, Hyang had no choice but to nod at Jinpyeong’s words.

“Then let’s review it positively.”

After sorting out the matter, Hyang looked back at Jang On.

“Speaking of budget, how much does it cost to build that new iron horse? ”

When asked about incense, Jang-on hesitated and answered,

“It’s a bit much.”

“Of course it will cost a lot. How much does it cost compared to a conventional iron horse? ”

“We can make one for the cost of making three existing iron horses. However, once the steel mill starts operating properly, the cost can be reduced even further.”

“Stop. Jinpyeong... First, let’s lay down the iron horse and use the existing iron horse.”

“Your Majesty!”

Jinpyeong looked at Hyang pitifully, even shedding tears. But the scent was resolute.

“The budget is the problem. The budget priority is to focus on the railroad. Isn’t that right?”

Jinpyeong answered in a sullen voice to Hyang’s question.

“I guess so.”

Hyang’s words were correct. No matter how fast and powerful an iron horse was, it was useless without a railroad. Even existing iron horses could be useful if they were properly laid.

Hyang-hyang, who had grasped the strand like that, looked back at Jang-on.

“Then let’s take a look at the next development building and research building.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

***

Area 52 was a city. The smell of Jang Yeong-sil was thickly permeated in everything inside. And this directly hit the taste of the scent.

“This is a place where monks and sharp tools are researched and developed.”

“Huh...”

Hyang looked at the building with his mouth wide open.

‘I will easily fit three or four 747s! ‘

In such an enormous space, there were things everywhere that were similar to those that Hyang made in Seoul, as well as things that seemed to be improvements on them.

The minister was outside the building.

“The Navy is in trouble because of this order.”

“If I reduce 30%, will there be a problem with my defense? ”

“It turns out that it has almost the same defense power as our main battle line.”

In response to Jang On’s response, Hyang made a decision on the spot.

“Really? Then, I will tell the Navy that they will carry out the orders given by the Emperor.”

“Yes.”

After deciding on such an important issue, Hyang continued to tour the shipyard.

In the research center attached to the shipyard, Hyang gave one last shot prepared by King Sejong and Jang Yeong-sil. was beaten.

***

“This? ”

“This is a new engine for mounting on the front line.”

“Is it using multi-wing propulsion?”

“That’s right.”

“Wow...”

Hyang looked at the institution in front of him and once again had an expression of despair or liberation.

‘Turbine propeller! Where did these people catch aliens? ‘

Jang On continued his explanation while observing Hyang’s expression.

“The steam produced in the heating furnace is blown into the multi-wing propeller to turn the shaft attached to the pinwheel-type propeller.”

“I don’t think it’s completed yet? “

In response to Hyang’s point, Jang On bowed his head and replied,

“Unfortunately, with current technology, we cannot make the steel that can make up that thruster.”

“I guess so. “I will continue to focus on further research.”

“I will definitely do that! ”

Jang On and the craftsmen, who received encouragement instead of shouting, were all moved and responded by bowing their heads.

Hyang responded by nodding slightly to them and muttered to himself,

‘Of course it must be impossible. If this has succeeded, I’d be out looking for aliens.’

***

After spending almost three days, Hyang was able to complete his inspection of Area 52.

Resting at the guesthouse in Area 52, Hyang looked out the window at the buildings in Area 52 and muttered,

“The entire Area 52 is Jang Yeong-sil’s legacy . ...”

‘And it’s a trap card.’

As I said before, the entire area of Area 52 was directly affected by the scent.

However, 2/3 of the total was still only grounded.

And Hyang was able to understand King Sejong’s meaning here.

-Don’t waste time making useless things, just

make sure of what I have prepared now!

-Did you see what we prepared? It’s just your taste, right? So you have to work hard, right?

“Phew~”

Hyang sighed softly and grumbled while looking at the documents piled up on one desk.

“I think it would be better to wrestle with budget than with virtue. And...”

Hyang continued, looking at the distant western sky.

“If you stop me, what I want to do more is virtue.”

***

After returning from the inspection of Area 52, Hyang immediately called Shin In-son, commander-in-

chief of the Shenji Navy.

“Are you calling me? ”

“yes.”

“I ordered you to follow the orders given by the Emperor.”

“Oh, but if you do that, there may be a problem with your defense.”

“According to the experiments of Area 52 craftsmen, there is no problem. So don’t worry.”

“And there is a reason to expand that space.”

“I have been informed that the defense of the East Coast is possible with the current payload.”

“We need to load a lot of supplies to go down south. And... ”

Hyanghyang paused for a moment, lightly cleared his throat, and continued.

“We must advance eastward before they advance westward from Europe. I plan to put a dagger under their chin.”
