Chemistry

< 15. Old Steel - Great Line (2) >

Jungwoo opened a small backpack named Survival Kit and took out the top tin. Inside, the flint holds a waterproof match and a fishing line.

I feel like I'm camping. ’

Jung, who was looking around inside the tin can, looked at the pills and the envelope filled with powder. one for drinking and the other for washing.

"Yuck. This is going to taste like pool water if it burns. ’

But chemistry is what you're used to. Taking a look at the artificial compound and looking at the chemical reaction, you can see a slight hint of affection for this strange exercise.

Wolf opened his mouth to those who were looking inside the bag.

If you have equipment you don't know how to use, ask me and Kaya immediately.

What drew men's attention was a multifunctional shovel made of carbon steel.

“This Yashob must be missing, right? You fell in love.”

“It also has a saw blade. ”

Most of them were items that did not deviate significantly from the level of camping equipment, so I only cared about combining and putting them in front of me rather than asking what they were used for.

Wolf glances at those who seem familiar with the use of equipment.

You can ask questions like: Not a lighter, a flint? What compass in the world is automatically located on a map when your phone is turned on? Unfortunately, more than half of the terrain you have to pass is completely ineffective. In addition · · · · · · · · · ·.

“crazy fucking cold.” As soon as I heard the profanity of the words, I could not connect the words.

One more thing. The most useful equipment you can use when dealing with wild animals is this.

Wolf bites the whistle in his mouth and beeps and blows.

Animals that swarm like reindeer or wolf cast off their popularity with a loud voice before approaching.

Once the description of the equipment was completed, Wolf turned to Kaya.

Kaya. How do I deal with bears in Alaska?

Bear spray is the only countermeasure.

Kaya pulls the spray from her waist pocket.

Accurately on the nose and mouth. Injection drills should be conducted in an open space, in private.

Everyone took a small bottle of hot pepper extract and mounted it on their belt. He looked at the information on the bottle label and asked, seeing that the range was only 3m.

What happens if I just spray from afar and get buried in hair?

Wouldn't you rather freeze to death if you angered the bear?

Everyone winked at this answer. Wolf frowns and shakes his hand.

Kaya, can't you be serious?

Kaya pushed the spray back into her waist, giving Wolf a proper explanation.

There is no concept of dealing with bears. You have to avoid it. If you find footprints, stools, traces of fish, little prey, and you dig up the ground, you're out of the way.

Kaya holds the binoculars in her hand.

Understanding the realm of wildlife in advance is more important than any tool.

While nodding, Wolf shifts to a position in front of the fan, all of a sudden in a vague explanation to get the observation equipment first.

Attention!

Everyone's head turns to Wolf.

Warm-protective clothing and other equipment by temperature are all explained. From now on, we will go into practical training to stimulate your sense of survival.

Weeing...

The main fan has started. As everyone's eyes become uneasy, Wolf's voice echoes cruelly through the warehouse.

The situation suddenly broke out. Hang in there for half an hour. Activate!

The open freezer door slammed shut. The digital thermometer, which was close to 20 degrees in the video, started falling in an instant.

The fastest reaction was Kaya, the blonde wingman. She puts on her gloves and shouts to everyone.

Never touch tools with your bare hands! When it freezes in leather, it rips together.

A team member touching a pocket knife drops him in shock.

Jungwoo groaned, even though the temperature sign on the wall did not fall below freezing.

‘That wind, it's scary. ’

The disconnection between actual and reduced temperatures was significant.

When the cold came, everyone tried their best to keep warm. It was never easy to have a layer of protective clothing in fear of rapidly dropping temperatures. Some of the team members had left the Moktosh and Mid-layer on the floor, and were urgently wrapped around the biggest warm parka.

Yeongja's cold air blows through the warehouse. Screaming in the cold that stirs the bones, the screamers fall out.

"Hat!" Goggles! ’

When Jungwoo reached minus 5 degrees, he was able to wear some protective clothing.

After taking a breath, I noticed Joo Hana, who had not yet finished wearing warm pants. Kaya was helping her alone.

"Oops."

Jung reflexively approached and grabbed Jung's arm because it was just two people wearing a mid-layer.

“It's going to be 10 degrees below zero. ”

When I reached Jungwoo, Joo-won showed his eyes of gratitude while trembling.

Kaya looked back at Jungwoo and said,

I'll take care of him, so start with your clothes.

I'm almost done.

Button. Strap. You didn't tighten it properly.

The wind blew and the crack in the ankle and neck dug deep. Jungwoo shuddered at the frightening cold, but he was surprised to see Kaya holding the same wind over the mid-layer and still.

“Ugh, it's cold! I'm freezing!”

A team member in a coat ignores the order, screaming and taking off his coat again. At this point, when the internal temperature marked seven degrees below zero, not a single person was properly dressed and standing still.

Kaya puts her hat on the face of the week who barely managed to wear pants, then turns to Wolf.

I can't.

It was in the calculations that you wouldn't be used to wearing equipment. Keep a close eye on things and let me know if you think that's the limit.

Even Wolf, who was wearing only one long-sleeved t-shirt, was disappointed. Kaya shakes her head as she glances at the thermometer heading ‘-10°C’.

I assure you, these people will verb in two minutes. Does Alaska make sense with a weakling that can't stay awake at this temperature?

The most eloquent voice of Kaya's voice snatches her neck.

Jungwoo had no choice but to look at the two surviving experts who looked like they were never going to catch cold. I never thought I'd experience the same temperature so differently, no matter how different my career was.

"She's right. It's supposed to withstand 30 degrees below zero, but I can't do this. Is there no way? ’

I focused my nerves on the vast expansion of the molecular world that keeps my gaze on open rectangular buckets. It was because I thought I was going to freeze to death. I had a lot of heated reactions in my head.

“My ears! I think he's gone! ”

“I can't feel my toes!

Screaming from place to place. Jungwoo, who was worried, held a tin can in his hand.

Five minutes after the freezer reboot.

Kaya across one jacket saw her lips gradually turning blue and realized that she was at a limit.

The moment I tried to signal Wolf that I needed to finish my first day of flash training, warmth approached my cheeks.

Kaya turned her head and stopped looking at a young man who was shaking his head while holding a tin can in his hand.

What are you doing? While I was watching the young man, I looked at the thermometer to see if Wolf had turned off the freezer first because the warmth I felt on my cheeks became smoky and covered my entire face.

A normal descent value of '-15°C’ was being recorded.

However, the more the young man shook the tin barrel, the warmer air kept coming around him.

· · · Hey. What is it?

"Oh, this?

And he said, "Oh, my God!” The Korean word mumbled and put down the tin can that had been heated.

I don't know. Is it an emergency furnace?

What if I asked you a question?

I see. Wait a minute.

The young man turned his head to Juhana.

“Master Chief. Come here. It's gonna be warm for a while. Come here if you're cold! ”

Kaya summoned a young man who shouted in an unknown Korean language. Those attracted by the warmth found in the cold air surround the tin barrel.

“Ugh, I think I'll live. ”

“What's so warm? ”

Even though the temperature had gone down even further to minus 20 degrees, Kaya had to look at the young man and the tin barrel alternately, with the expression that most of the people around the tin can survive.

Kaya reaches out to the tin can and mutters something, “Hiya.” I slapped the shoulder of a young man in the street.

"Hey, I don't remember any of the survival tools, including the stove. Besides, it's not the heat that a portable furnace can produce.

"Should I say that my enthusiasm for survival that was hidden in me was twitching inside me?

The young man pointed at the hot tin can and smiled. Kaya was baffled and asked again because she was very curious because she had never seen such a senseless fireplace in her life.

How does this work?

Not a week became a comfortable face, and the rest of the team saw the young man with the same curiosity as Kaya's question.

It's basically a simple exothermic reaction. Sodium dichloride isocyanurate, which was in the tablet pill, is mixed with the magnesium which was in the flint, and it's rusting that tin. I think he'll react in about half an hour.

With the exception of Kayama, the rest of them opened their mouths.

“Corrosive and heating? Ha. I've only heard rumors. I have a very good idea. ”

“By the way, did Mr. Lim Woo make that bomb suppressant? It's the MacGyver of chemistry. ”

Kaya's like, "What, what are you talking about? ’I looked at the young man with confused eyes. The young man who sensed the energy said.

In other words, after feeding and shaking the hot powder, the tin can became angry.

Are you kidding?

Chemistry

Refrigeration in 25 minutes.

“Looks like a campfire to me. ”

“Don't say that. She's been staring at Jungwoo for a while. ”

“Is it because you took a punch from a weakling? ”

Jungwoo sat around with a tin can, and his gaze stayed on those who were blooming stories. It was cozy inside the freezer at minus 30 degrees, where the wind was cool.

‘The heat is in front of me, so my body temperature is rising. ’

It was cold, but it was cold enough to last.

“No matter how much I look at this Asaph, it's amazing. ”

The longest member of the team, the Facilities team's satellite chief, put a multifunctional shovel in his mouth like a microphone as long as he could. He clears his voice, saying.

“Ah. The Inquisitor sends word. Due to the exponential rainfall, work is conducted in drainage instead of personal maintenance. Pick up the shovel and poncho woo and assemble the regimental sergeant. ”

“Ugh, that's horrible. Let's rest when it rains. ”

Satisfaction turns to the groaning of the Holy Killer.

“Corporal Shin. You're a mortician. ”

“Ugh. Don't say that. I feel so fierce that I have military nightmares at night. ”

While shaking his head to a week where he doesn't know much about military life, he turns to Jungwoo this time.

“Sergeant Han is good at his job. Should I do the organs?”

“Oh, I slept a lot this morning. I'd think about it if I didn't have a fortune teller and a fortune teller. ”

Jungwoo turned his head toward Kaya, who was sitting on a spike while exchanging wit and jokes.

I'm talking about the Korean military, people.

You don't have to translate.

I scratched my chin to fix the harsh answer and said quietly.

Wear warm equipment properly or use a special heating furnace on time. I think it's a different context.

Kaya's voice sounded calm as if she were trying to calm down a child who knew nothing.

That doesn't make any sense at all.

I don't understand either of you with just one jacket at this temperature.

Because I was specially trained · ·!

Kaya raises her voice and shuts up as everyone else looks at her.

That's all for today's training.

The crowd cheers as Wolf finally opens the freezer door.

Keep in mind that adaptive training is the path to happiness in Alaska.

“Yes!”

“Thank you!”

Kaya walks to clean up behind the people running out of the car with joy. Wolf laughs at her grim expression.

Why do you feel bad?

You saw the strange transfer of training. As long as they don't wear protective clothing properly, they're all at greater risk of freezing to death.

Even so, you have no reason to be angry. Survival tools were handed out and training conditions were set here, and they were just using them in their own way.

I have a fever.

Kaya grumbles as she puts her protective clothing in her bag.

When I was training so many times to survive in the poles, I felt so wronged.

"Kaya, I told you. Asians are filled with the mysterious energy of the East.

Would you keep saying that?

Wolf smiles, then flashes his bag in both hands and steps outside.

Kaya also picked up a bag and met the young man standing outside the freezer.

Huh? Need some help?

Never mind.

And he said, "Tsk, tsk.” I received the bag from Kaya with a shout.

What are you doing?

The young man smiled at Kaya's cold gaze and said,

"Well, Kaya's tone is just my brother's style. You're just about the same age.

What do you mean?

It says no, but it's all over your face.

Kaya is slightly embarrassed and snorts.

You can't cheat the same as before in the next training.

It's not fraud, it's chemistry.

A strange chemist who turned the Alaskan polar environment into a backyard camp with a tin can. What he showed me was either an Oriental mystery, as Wolf said, or just a scam. Kaya insists on checking it out.

That evening.

Jungwoo was packing his things in the room.

All total-care teams stay in accommodations near the warehouse for full adaptation training. Jungwoo was also going to leave early in the morning to participate.

‘A month from today. You have to work as hard as you can to make money anyway. ’

I was just going to tell my mother that it was a foreign country. You might be surprised to know that this is a business trip to Ojiro, which is over 40 degrees below zero.

“Oops. Promise. ”

Jung Woo held his cell phone in his hand. Then I dialed Yoon Lee Seol's number.

The signal comes and you hear her lively voice.

- Mr. Jungwoo at this hour? How do you know that radio schedule's over? I'm late, but do you want to go out?

“Ahh · · · · · · · · · · ·. Mr. Lee Seol, that's it. ”

Jungwoo hesitated and heard a moan behind the phone.

- Something's happened this week. Well, you don't mean that, do you? I don't have time to drown in new songs.

“Thank God it's not like that. ”

- Whew.

“Not this week, I've been traveling overseas all month. ”

Deep silence followed. I swallowed Jung's saliva because I thought I mixed jokes for nothing.

“Mr. Lee Seol? ”

- You don't like dating, do you?

“Oh, by the way, weren't you meeting for the checklist, not for our date? ”

- That's not the point. You're really going away for a month? Where are we going? If you're free in the middle like you were in Venice, you won't be able to see me for a while?

“I'm sorry.”

- There's nothing to be sorry about. If you can't see long, you won't even like me.

The lonely voice of Yun Yi Seol made me picture her face. I didn't think it would be such a waste, so I couldn't make up my mind.
