Chemistry

After a while.

There are more and more people in the meeting room. Jungwoo felt a palpitation, looking at the positions of several people sitting nearby.

Professor of Architecture at a renowned university, Head of Railway Engineering, Head of Large Construction Companies, Ships, and Executives of Warehouse Companies. There were many professionals with high positions together.

‘This intelligent aroma. ’

I was moved by the fact that I was sitting in a position in this academic atmosphere. He should have seen it coming. That my brother is living in such a healthy society.

‘There's no such thing as fifth place in class. ’

I was a little jealous of Jung's ranking.

A government official approached the center of the conference room.

He was wearing glasses in his early forties, and he tapped the microphone to check the sound and opened his mouth straight away.

“Let the seminar begin. If you are still out there, please hurry. ”

A dozen experts with the right to speak sat around the central table. Except for Song Bo-young, who could be the youngest, most of them were fourty-year-olds.

“I am the social planning and lead of Yang Yang Cheol. On your behalf, I'd like to thank all of our associates for finding you here. ”

Beginning with Yang Ki-chul's greeting, Hwang Su-gon, executive advisor to the city hall reformer, continued with his keynote address.

“… like a cancer cell in the natural world that destroys melted bridges, stops them from using materials stored in storage, makes houses, cars and fuel tanks obsolete……. ”

Jungwoo listened to the speech and went through the materials on the seminar topics that had been handed out to everyone.

The huge amount of damage caused by the rust-related refurbishment in Seoul City during the year. To prevent this, the structural reinforcement construction is carried out, a number of anticorrosive agents are added, and the paint is repeated.

On the contrary, it was also a business model that could generate enormous revenues in construction companies and KG chemistry.

“I will then hear the announcement about the comprehensive management of the Han River Bridge. ”

At the end of Yang Ki-chul's remarks, the chief of the bridge safety department stood up.

“As you can see, 22 of the bridges on the Han River are managed by other institutions in Seoul City. Let's start with bridges that are in the remuneration priority. ”

Jungwoo looked at the passage of the Han Steel Bridge this morning in the screen shot at the Beam Project.

‘That light blue paint belonged to Eugene Chemical. ’

It was a company name as familiar as KG chemistry. I couldn't help but notice the cost and effectiveness of the competitor's chemicals.

“There will be a Q&A time. Free speech.”

The first thing he opened was Kang Young-tae, who claimed to be a professor of architecture and structural engineering.

“Chief Lee. How many priority bridges are you going to paint next year? ”

“We will supplement it at a similar level as it is a policy not to increase the budget than this year. ”

“This is frustrating. It takes about a year for the corrosion resistant to be painted on moisture. Come for a long summer rainy day. You'll rust your submarine bridge in seconds. I don't even have the budget to repair every broken leg. I don't even know what I'm doing. ”

From the beginning, Jungwoo was slightly surprised at the river professor who expressed hostile opinions to the city hall. The picky remark seemed to be sweating from the city hall staff.

“This is where the structural improvement of the long-term perspective is needed. High-performance steel will last for the next 30 years at a time. Wouldn't the budget for the 30 years last? Less tax waste, like people's blood. ”

“… the city is gathering all the opinions. ”

“Especially the Han Steel Bridge. I'm worried every time I see it, because in '94, do you think it's okay to keep your legs open? No, I thought you dropped something today. ”

Associates of the railway company on the other side of the river looked at Professor Kang's question.

“I'm Dae-cheol Kim, Head of Technology at Korail. The morning incident was straightened out, and there was no major damage. ”

“What caused the problem? ”

“We know this was due to a weakening of durability due to an increase in rail traffic rather than a structural defect. And the Korean Steel Bridge adopted a coating that was studied in collaboration with KG chemistry as a new corrosion prevention system.... ”

When the coating story came out, Fluffy's eyes sparkled.

“Director Kim. That's not what I'm talking about. Is it strong enough to paint a lot of the risk of corrosion? ”

“That's ……. ”

“I'm Song Bo-young, KG chemistry researcher. I'll tell you about that part. ”

Song Bo-young wedged into the microphone. As she opened her mouth, she felt people outside the table making a loud noise.

“Talk to me.”

Professor Kang saw Song Young-young with a face full of confidence to refute any logic.

‘Whoa, it's no pressure play. ’

Jungwoo was nervous just watching. I was a little worried about Song Bo-young because she saw the scene that silenced the city hall staff and the railway workers in succession.

Song Bo-young spread out the data prepared.

“The results from this study are semi-crystal coatings smoother than Teflon and harder than stainless steel. Minimum life expectancy is 3 years, not 1 year. The cost of production is half that. Unlike Professor Kang Young-tae's concern, I think it will result in a significant cost reduction. ”

“Joon-Crystal? I've never heard that before. I don't know if that's true...”

“Yes, actually. ”

Song Bo-young's timing of cutting the words of the ridiculing professor was timely.

“It's a project where experts from the KG Central Chemistry Institute personally participate to see how things are going. It's already being used by the Department of Defense's Corrosion Administration throughout military facilities. ”

It was the last thing Song Bo-young smiled at.

“Compounds made with the latest chemical processes are as reliable as steel. ”

In her opinion, city hall officials, construction workers, ship companies, and other agencies also began to search through the materials.

“I won. ”

For a moment, Professor Kang, who was speechless, actually stopped speaking up.

The head of the Railway Corporation nodded to Song Bo-young and thanked her. Song Bo-young shrugged her shoulders and glanced at Jungwoo.

What's up, big eyes.

Jungwoo clapped a little.

You're pretty good, aren't you? You don't even flinch among the experts. ’

It is Song Young-young in the first study that has only Aces. It is natural that the level of chemical insights that have been studied hard and piled up gradually are not ordinary, unlike yourself. I looked at the exhaustion next to her with a look of admiration throughout her speech.

Host Yang Yang Chul opened his mouth.

“If there is nothing more to talk about, in response to the next question... …. ”

“Wait a minute.”

When the legend about leaving the Han Steel Bridge was about to end with the favor of Song Young-young, there was a man who put his hand on the microphone.

“Speaking of the Iron Bridge. ”

A mid-40s man in a stylish suit turns to the left. Jung saw the name tag and blew it.

Principal Eugene Chemical Research Center.

Compared to what the general researcher had dispatched, KG Chemistry participated in the seminar by a competitor, a significant figure.

“It's Yoon Jae-gil. Nice to meet you, Professor Kang. You fought with me last year, but you fought with a pretty girl this year. You're a fighter.”

Professor Kang turned away from Yoon Jae-gil's gaze with a 'Knng’ expression.

In a word, Yoon Jae-gil smiled, and the focus of the people in the meeting was on him at once. Yoon Jae-gil pointed to the beam projector and said.

“Let's start with the pictures we've prepared. Chief Lee, please. ”

The slide show followed ugly images like rusted railroads, columns, and corroded steel beams underneath the highway.

“This is a few years ago, and this is what it looks like a year after we've cleaned it with our Eugene Chemical rust remover. ”

A partial picture of the Han Steel Bridge appeared on the screen. A clean bridge with green paint all over it. Looking at it, Yoon Jae Gil lightly got lucky.

“As you can see, it looks perfectly rust-proof. What about the inside? Eugene Chemicals self-polluted, loosening 0.1 percent of 10,000 rivets, and no melting at all. ”

Yoon Jae-gil turned her eyes to the head of the Railway Corporation.

“Lots of movement on metropolitan subways and railways. even though the impact of tremendous vibrations is repeated every day. I'd like to ask you a few questions. Wouldn't it be a waste of money to add a new coating to a healthy railway bridge like this? ”

“I don't think excessive investment is a waste because it's for safety. ”

“Even though you scored better on your stability assessment than the other leg? ”

Kim Dae-cheol did not have much to say about the controversy in this area.

“And then, there's your pretty girl. ”

When Yoon Jae Gil kept calling her "Miss," her eyebrows curled up.

“You were talking about the U.S. Corrosion Control. Do you know the story of the birth of the mother? ”

“I... don't know. ”

Song Bo-young had to shake her head.

“The iron structure is the symbol of New York. Don't you know the Statue of Liberty was nearly destroyed by the meltdown? ”

Yoon Jae-gil's speech, which Song Bo-young knows nothing about, was not proficient enough to lead the discussion.

“The method used by corrosion experts around the world to remove and restore rust from the Statue of Liberty. We followed it last year to the Korean Steel Bridge, where the train is running without any problems to date. ”

Yoon Jae-gil began to talk about the irrefutable logic of Song Bo-young.

“Zinc paint from Eugene Chemical. I borrowed a patent from NASA. Hawaii, which is a very humid, very salty area, is recognized for its performance. Due to the cost of production, we now have a lot more buyers placing orders in our direction. ”

The members of the meeting began a deep dive into Eugene Chemical's data.

“But……. ”

Song Bo-young did not have the right opinion. We only studied their coatings and did not prepare them for the advantages or disadvantages of their products.

“Semi-crystal coating. Good. Cheap. But it's not right for the Korean Steel Bridge. There's already a lot of corrosion here. This is where we need total management of professional companies like Eugene Chemical. ”

After discussions started with Professor Kang Young-tae for the first time spread through the pride struggle between the two companies, both supervisors grabbed Mike.

“Please remain calm and constructive. ”

“I'm even more curious because you say it's constructive. Why KG chemistry sent such an inexperienced researcher to this important position. Shouldn't we at least get paid? ”

“You're being mean. ”

“If you push me too hard to tell the truth, I have nothing to say. ”

Song Bo-young's big eyes were even more in sync with Yoon Jae-gil's body movements, who said she lost both hands.

Yoon Jae-gil looks relaxed all the time. I couldn't help but admire his friendship as the class of discussion experience proved different.

‘I can't help but notice how intertwined I am about their products. ’

Thanks to this, Song Bo-young was filled with furious eyes that could not be compared to when she spilled herself.

"Is it possible? It's not like they're saying the wrong thing... Huh? ’

Jungwoo, who was looking at the image of the Korean steel bridge on the projector screen, had to swallow his groan.

It was because the constellations of elements, along with unfamiliar chemistry, suddenly appeared like stereoscopic images.

The small universe floating all over the meeting room was very similar to that of the weekly meeting. In addition, quite interesting molecular compounds were also noticeable.

What do we do?

I clapped my fist underneath the table and scratched my chin as I looked at Song Bo-young who was fluttering. This is not a winning seminar, but her defeat is the defeat of KG chemistry.

‘Era, I don't know. ’

Jung lifts his hand.

“Commander, I have a question. ”
