Day 8 - Flavor Room

Two weeks in charge of the project.

I was not on my way to work with a very motivated mind. It's just a job. The ‘0’ unit in the account that I just received my salary led me to the company by myself.

It's the fascination of a full-time salaried worker. It's snowing or it's raining or there's somewhere I have to go. ’

Jungwoo stepped forward, placing a card at the entrance of the perfume room, and stopped when he saw Cho, Seong-hwan, sitting in the right position in front of a neatly organized table.

“You left early? ”

Choi Hyeong-hwan turns his head and smiles softly.

“It's become a habit for me to get my work cut before 8: 00. I wonder what I'm gonna do today. ”

It's 8: 55. Jung, who came to work quite relaxed, frowned for some reason because he was the only team member who had come early and finished preparing.

My enthusiasm for the team leader's work that sank seemed to be alive by three orders of zero.

“Let's work!”

[Soft Leg Synthetic Fragrance - currently 94.5% similar to natural extract]

[Production: Audrey Project Only]

Jungwoo was feeling a little proud looking through the project materials he was writing in the Central Laboratory Materials Library.

Meaning that the name of the creator who obtained the source technology is recorded.

Once registered, this synthetic fragrance can be used by any other department, affiliate or even royalty that requires it.

With full development costs, Audrey will only pay for materials and will use them almost free of charge. However, now that I have some knowledge of the fragrance industry, I also know that this is a significant value added.

A company that makes natural jasmine flavors called Hedion sells over $100 million a year.

If Audrey is popular with this spice, it will be an advertisement on its own.

It may not be the money that comes directly into the pocket next to you, but a nostril is heard just imagining the number of digits of the money. You can call it snobbery. If there are so many '0’.

“Sir, these reagents are unresponsive. ”

I turned my head to clear the voice of Cho Sung-hwan.

A new aromatic molecule added to the synthetic fragrance with a 94.5% concordance was not well bound.

Jungwoo, who was analyzing the fragrance of the stock solution, rubbed his eyes and cast his gaze at the test tube of Cho Sung-hwan.

A reagent lacking free electrons was full of [+] cations, and the solution in the test tube was also [+] prone and could not afford this reagent.

How to infer which reagents to use inversely in the binding viewed with molecular field of view. I didn't explain it to shorten the time, but it seemed like Cho Sung-hwan was struggling.

“We need to think about substitution, not addition. Substitution of electrophiles. Let's add a derivative with two methyl groups to the benzene. ”

“Xylene?”

“Yes, that. ”

While Cho Sung-hwan was busy reconstructing the reagents, Jungwoo began writing down a new molecular structure to try out.

Analytical-Experiment-Trial Error-Reperimental-Results Results.

Each time a new molecular structure is added to increase the match rate, this method of study continues.

Is it synthesized with petrochemicals, turned into microbial enzyme reactions, or is it extracted from plants to replace? Improvements to find the simplest process could be added, and it could be seen as the completion of the synthetic flavoring until the preparation is completed for mass production.

After living in Somley Bridge for a few days, the entire process of the study was drawn in Jungwoo's head.

After about ten days, the first synthetic fragrance is completed.

“Enough!”

I looked at Jung Woo in awe of Cho Sung-hwan.

“This reagent structural formula. How did you decide to do all that? ”

“It · · · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

The heat of learning in Cho Sung-hwan's gaze was too great to surround the senses. Jung said, scraping his chin.

“Analysis started. You take a few atoms of carbon and hydrogen out of the acetophenone on the cotton bridge, and you get benzaldehyde. So we chose benzaldehyde as the reagent base. We just have to find a way to add carbon, hydrogen. ”

The story of the chemical inference that began so lasted approximately 15 minutes. Cho Sung-hwan kept nodding and tried to understand, seeking an intermediate understanding, and even taking notes.

Entering the afternoon experiment, the match rate rose 0.7% to 95.2%. The closer it got to 100, the slower it had to be, because there was difficulty artificially perfectly copying one natural compound.

Like all human DNA was different, all hundreds of flowers in the extract showed subtle differences in aromatic molecules. The extract is its total set.

Jungwoo felt that the work speed would be significantly slower if it increased to 98%.

After lunch, I got tired and was warming up, but the door of the spice room opened.

Bloop.

Three members of the fragrance center's microbial management team entered the spice room.

“Hello."

The three men who threw a short greeting gathered in the analyzer with a sample of the spice on the wall and started talking.

Nowadays, the aroma center has been very busy with a new deodorant series based on chaprine, so everyone has fallen into the study triple scope.

- Agent Lee. We're making it disgusting because of the smell. There's a lot of pressure in the fragrance team.

- Then what am I supposed to do? They're launching without inhibitors? Then tell them to use the old one.

- If it smells bad, we'll talk to the chief.

- Who is it?

- Representative Yoon Hyung-seok.

- Deputy Yoon, you bastard.

I turned my head to the story I heard even if I didn't want to hear it.

Those experimenting with flavoring and analyzing microbial inhibitors.

Chuck Boney, in the molecular world, microbial inhibitors and aromatic molecules were not compatible and were at war with each other. In particular, in some molecular systems, aromatic molecules were eaten or evaporated completely out of power.

It's nice to eat fungi or bacteria, but that's how it smells. It was worth noting the concerns of the aroma design team.

‘That analyst Sang-hwan should use it soon. ’

No need for friendship, but he needed chemical symbols and language to understand the molecular world. This was very important, but the greater the understanding of Cho Sung-hwan, the faster the work speed.

“Excuse me.”

Jungwoo approached them, feeling that it was his job as team leader.

“Benzyl isothiazolinone, right? inhibitors.”

Deputy Lee Bong-chan, who was wearing a badge, turned his head to Jungwoo. Why is that? Jungwoo recalled the astonishment of the border.

‘You won't be able to work with this center researcher in this lifetime anyway. ’

Jungwoo ignores and ridicules the opponent, whether he is surprised by his chemical senses triggered by 'AF-12'.

“The benzylsalicylate in this spice kept screaming that it couldn't survive. ”

The employee standing next to the sound laughed.

“It's a lily extraction fragrance, this. The benzylsalicylate extracted from the olive should be much more friendly than this. ”

“How do you know that? ”

“I guess you haven't heard. ”

“What?”

“I am the absolute sense of smell. Play a trick and mix the olive fragrance into a base. The ratio must be 13-to-1. At this rate of lily spice, 20-to-1, the fragrance doesn't last long. ”

After Jung finished speaking, he turned his back. You hear a sigh behind you, but soon you see the olive spice coming out of the cupboard.

After a while.

- Huh? - Yeah.

- Smells good.

- Yeah, I know.

Three people looked at Jungwoo. He boldly smiled and pointed at his nose as he looked at the "how."

Bloop.

As they rush towards the fragrance team lab, Cho Sung-hwan enters.

“Did you enjoy your lunch? ”

“Yes, this is the first time I've eaten this comfortably since I was a public servant. ”

Cho Sung-hwan carefully said.

“I have to work late today to get to 96%. ”

“What else? We can sleep at night. ”

Day 10 - Flavor Room

On Wednesday morning, Jungwoo opened the spice room door and stopped when he saw a strange person sitting with Cho Sung-hwan.

“Mr. Exodus? ”

The government chief evacuated suddenly and walked in front of Jungwoo.

“I sent you an email yesterday, but you didn't see it. ”

“Mail?”

“Sign up for the project. It's been changed to recruitment all the time. ”

“Yes, but · · · · · · · · ·. ”

When Jungwoo suddenly asked why his heart changed, Exodus pointed to Cho, Chong-hwan.

“Sunghwan is so proud. I have a lot to learn. ”

Cho Sung-hwan scratched his head. Exhaustion said to Jungwoo as pitiful.

“I thought it would be great to go to the battery center after the public service. Come on. I've only got half a year to catch up with the shooters and get to know the center. Mr. Jungwoo is much better than this shooter, I see. And the answer came out. ”

The exhaust that was lying around said to Jungwoo, holding hands.

“Please accept it, Chief Jungwoo. I'd appreciate it if you'd do me the courtesy. ”

I nodded gladly at the request of an exhausted shooter.

“We didn't have enough people to review it. ”

“I'll work hard! ”

[Cotton Bridge Synthetic Fragrance - 96.3% similar]

After updating the fragrance records in Jung Woo's Materials Library, I turned my gaze to the two people working on it.

Although I made this decision a little, unlike Cho Sung-hwan, Exhaustion was quick to understand. I don't feel like I'm begging you. That's why I often say something that feels good to Jungwoo.

“No, don't you think these perfume center researchers are overreacting? I heard you reconstituted the deodorant ingredients yesterday. ”

“I kept talking next to him. ”

“We should name our new product development team, then. Was it" Shabriz "? What a name."

“That's enough.”

Turning to the monitor, the perfume room door opened and the aroma center container design team surrogate Park Jung-ho came in.

“Is Captain Lim Woo here? ”

“Me?”

Dae-woo Park rushed to Jungwoo and said.

“I contacted KG Industries because of a problem with air propellant improvements, and told them that Deputy Chief Lim Wu would know better. ”

“Mr. Gong? ”

“You blew your propellant on the spot at the fire bidding. ”

The public representative who often contacted him seemed to have praised him a little.

“I like the inquiry, but don't take up too much time. ”

“It'll take time because it's complicated. ”

“Well, just two of us from today's design team. A good worker. ”

“It's not that hard. ”

Jungwoo told Exodus.

“Do we have a secret union experiment? If you need help, you can start with that. ”

“I understand.”

The fact that you might not have to work late today made your eyes light up.

“Representative Park. What would you like to ask? ”

“Here you go. ”

Jungwoo took a look at the data on the diffusion rate problem of the 'nitrogen synthesizer’ that Park's surrogate gave him.

Apparently, it was a problem because it didn't mix with the compounds that other teams had developed for the new product. Inhibitors of that and deodorant from yesterday. It's all the same.

“Fragrance centers are good, but I'm not good at overseeing them. ”

“Yes?”

“Oh, I was talking to myself. This is one of the deodorant components. It's cyclodextrin, right? It's extracted from corn. It seems to be sticking together. I think castor oil can help you spread. ”

Day 11 - KG Life Health Planning Office

Chief Chabriz was surprised by Yoon Hyung-seok's ‘Project Chabriz' report.

“How did the panel test go from 70 to 87 in three days? Did the researchers drug you? ”

“That's the thing. ”

Deputy Yoon cited the reports he had heard from each team leader.

“I've been advised by Executive Director Lim Woo Jung about improvements. ”

“Here, all the teams with item scores? ”

“The microbes, odors and design teams are clear. The dedicated surfactant team did not mention whether or not they received it, but only requested a sudden change of ingredients with hydrogenated castor oil. ”

The irregularities spilled a windy smile.

“Are you sure about that? Give me the spice room.”

“That's right.”

I was thinking about not judging Audrey's assignment quickly, but I was concluding that it was only because of the stubbornness of Zhang Fei.

However, this limited time product involved in the fragrance center was superior to any researcher who had ever seen a difference in company life.

“Ah. There was one. ”

“Yes?”

“No, soliloquy. Never mind. ”

Three years ago, when I was developing Chafrin, The Heaven of Problem Doctor, who was invited as a quality inspection and then shocked the whole center, was just as amazing.

“Chief Lim Wu, are you in the spice room right now? ”

“There will be. They live there day and night. ”

I walked down the hallway and arrived at the door of the spice room. Before opening the door, I cast my gaze inside through a transparent window.

- Sang-hwan, I can't get on 97.

- Wait, you're thinking about it.

- As this gets into the error range, the match rate jumps with a drop of additive. Even though Jungwoo has a unique feeling. Will it work?

The two who were talking seemed to be on the new team.

I turned my eyes to the corner fighter and quietly watched as he looked at the bottles of spices with tens of bottles.

While I was focusing on the study, I was judged not to interfere. There will be time to thank you for your help later.

- Found it!

- Really? - Yeah.

- How's that?

- Once you set up the condensation reaction experiment, Mr. Sunghwan will come with me to the material library. We need to search all the hexanol lines.

- Yep!

Bloop.

The door opened, and I took a step back.

“Hey, chief. ”

Jungwoo bowed down and ran out of the hallway with Cho Sung-hwan.

The turbulence glowed with a cheerful atmosphere in the image of two people running.
