Chemistry

“Cell centers? ”

The head of the center called and asked me to attend the meeting this morning. I have an important meeting.

Jungwoo, who was lying around on the living room floor like a mother, jumped up and down on the news about the company that flew from Song Bo-young.

“You didn't tell me what you were going to do? ”

- You didn't mention it to me. Jungwoo complained a lot about not being able to reach him all the time. What the hell were you doing?

“I may never see Bo-young's face again if I reveal it. ”

- Can't you see anything else? Stop teasing me, and come out tomorrow. Oh... You're coming, right?

“Yes, I'm going. ”

After the call ended, Jung felt like he had to be alert when he didn't hear from the center manager because of the consultation he had to do.

“Bro, it's boiled. ”

The supper called Jungwoo, placing the pot of ramen on the dining table. Jungwoo rushed to the market in front of the dining table. After one chopstick, Jungwoo put in his mouth was tasty and raised his thumb.

“The cotton was cooked well. I've only eaten combat food and it tastes even sweeter. ”

“Battle rations? Did the reserves feed you? ”

“I've been eating that ridiculous MRE on a C-120 transporter like an airplane. Even Blackhawks. Ugh, I can feel it in my head. ”

“Blackhawk? What? You slept 24 hours a night and had a dream? ”

“Son, a dream. ”

I boasted to my brother for a while because he was sure that he would only snort nonsense if he told him everything that had happened last week.

“…… RPG ammunition is flying. You're the Dancers! I'm shouting," Special agents, lower your stance and thank you. "”

“Oh, brother! Let's cut the crap. I went to the reserves, and then I went to war. Noodles.”

“Oops.”

In the kitchen, where there was only a rumbling sound for a moment. Jungwoo was somewhat hungry, and I was curious about his recent situation.

“What happened to your midterm exam? ”

“When did this happen? It's the end of the world soon. ”

Already?

Based on the calendar dates attached to the living room, the following week was July.

“I don't know why it's so hot. It's been a great summer, so what did you place? ”

“Second place.”

“Oh, that's a record! ”

“I didn't see any of the kids on top of me. ”

Jungwoo stared at the dinner in a peculiar way.

“Have you decided what to do? ”

“I don't know yet. But I have to get a good job and make a lot of money. ”

In response to a realistic dinner, Jung put down his chopsticks and shaken his head firmly.

“No.”

“What?”

“You want to study. Don't worry about tuition. If you want to study abroad, go to hell. This brother is responsible for everything. I'm a big business man. ”

“Tse, snickering. You'll get all that later. ”

“Of course, I'll stick it up your ass. It's not cruel. You give it to me for free, and your desperation goes away. People like us without solid backgrounds need it. ”

“Okay. I'll think more about it. ”

When the supper was over, he placed the pots and bowls in the sink.

“That's right. If your meeting is going to happen again and again in September, I want you to keep a record of outside activities. ”

“External activities? ”

I said, "What? You know, if you're going to go to the loom, you've been involved in a loom project or something. Does your company have a system like that? Student volunteering is fine. ”

“That's it. I'll see what I can find out, since you have such a good connection. ”

Jungwoo put the bowl he had eaten in the sink and tapped the dinner shoulder.

“So you do the dishes. ”

“Wow, you really don't see the damage. Shame on you.”

“What are you talking about? Not this one, but the next three weeks, you're doing the dishes. ”

“There's no such thing. ”

“Come on. I'm very expensive. ”

“I don't need it. I won't!”

Hong Ji-suk came in after the restaurant day with the front door open.

“Jungwoo, luncheon. Let's go outside... ”

“But once you've been advised, you can do the dishes. I'm 15 grand an hour. ”

“No! I boiled it and you decided to do the dishes! ”

Whether she came or not, she walked next to her two sons who were fighting each other like always, and she raised her hands and slapped their immature backs.

* * *

Monday morning.

“Phew, going to work? ”

Song Bo-young yawned and ran into a glassman in the mid-30s after passing by the company lobby.

“My comrade. ”

The path that made a frowning smile walked alongside Song Bo-young.

“You said you were going to the Limitless Woo Battery Center. ”

“Have the rumors spread yet? ”

“You can tell by the rumors and the walk of the Managing Director of Mana Herschel. The battery center project is packed, and you have one more in the meantime. Who could it be?”

Song Bo-young turned her head, pressing the elevator button.

“Do you know what the project is? ”

“Roughly.”

“What is it?”

“I think the biggest crisis will come. For more information on how to handle this, have a brunch at Yocafe. ”

Ding-dong.

Song Bo-young boarded the elevator and pointed out the path of travel.

“I don't want to spend time with you because you'll find out in two hours. ”

“I think we're on the same page. ”

A mouthful of laughter accompanies you on the elevator.

“I'm also on the 25th floor. ”

I pressed the button and quietly asked the road to Song Bo-young who was standing still.

“It's your birthday soon. You're not going back this time? ”

“What are you doing? It's just rough stuff. ”

“I'll escort you. Without pride. ”

“You?”

“What a surprise. I'm the backdrop for that. ”

Song Bo-young remembered that the road to travel is the son of Director Lee Jae-oh from KG Group. However, he shakes his head with a dagger.

“What else did Grandpa ask you to do? I'm happy with my life at the company. ”

“You may be, but some won't. ”

“What are you talking about? ”

“This is really serious. We need to meet separately. How about dinner?”

“Never mind.”

When I arrived on the 25th floor, I went down first and opened my mouth.

“You keep getting the wrong idea about me, but I'm popular, too. There are seats every week. Why don't you get me a magazine before I run out? It's never a loss. ”

“Just run out and send out the invitations. I'll put a lot of money into it. ”

Knuckles, Song-Young's head bows and blocks the way ahead of her.

“Wait. One more thing. ”

“What else? ”

“It's not a punishment, it's just me and my dad moving in and out of the house every week. What about you? If you're in the right place, the chairman won't be so worried. ”

“So what? A selfless senior and a wedding? ”

“Well, what do you think? You know, the usual drama setting. Marriage, and then we live together and we thumb. ”

“Even if I have to do that, I'm not ten years old. I don't know if it's a swamped kite. ”

You feel hurt while holding onto your chest.

“Bo-young, even if you hear about the contract marriage, think about your birthday. You may think you broke up with a kite, but you didn't. This isn't just about turning your back. ”

“I'll take care of my business. ”

“As long as your shares can cause a perceived change in KG chemistry management, your company's life will change at any time……. ”

“Sunbae.”

Song Bo-young, who had always been a smiling statue, sank down.

“Okay. I'm done here. ”

You get out of the way.

Jungwoo went to his private lab early in the morning to check his work email that had been piled up for a week.

Bloop.

The door opened and Bo-young was stunned and sat in front of her desk.

“Welcome. ”

He sends his greetings but does not respond. Jungwoo focused on checking his mail without interrupting him because he seemed to be awake.

About 20 minutes later, Jungwoo turned his eyes on Song Bo-young again and blew it. She kept staring at her desk the first time.

“What's going on? Sunbae. ”

Since there was no answer, Jung got up and approached Song Bo-young.

“Bo-young. ”

After grabbing her shoulder and shaking it slightly, Song Bo-young suddenly regained her mind and turned her gaze.

“Oh, Jungwoo. Hello?”

“Hmm… yes. I'm a little late, aren't I? ”

“No, it's 10: 00, we still have time. ”

Jungwoo giggles at her dazed behavior, not even realizing she was there.

“What's the matter? ”

“What?”

Pretending that something had happened to his serious face, but he knew he wanted to hide it. Jungwoo said the story lightly, as usual, because she thought she would feel safe.

“You don't seem like a normal day to come to a weekly meeting, but you're pretending to be intelligent. ”

“Funny.”

Song Bo-young opened her eyes as narrow as ever and spilled. Jungwoo took a look at her cheeks, filled with cloudiness.

“I don't think I'm drunk. Is there a paper that doesn't work? Don't worry about it. I'm a really good advisor. ”

“You don't have to have that. It's a matter of pride.”

Song Bo-young who woke up suddenly walked to the door.

“See you at the meeting. ”

“Where are you going? ”

“Get some air. ”

Bloop.

Song Bo-young who was about to leave saw Jungwoo.

“Jungwoo, how do you deal with something you don't want to do? ”

“If you're making money, avoid it if you're only hurting your body and mind. ”

“Snob.”

“I'd appreciate it if you could call it the doctrine of ordinary people. So, what, you gave him a hard job? If you come in the last time you see a public holiday in the first study.... ”

“No, like that. ”

Song Bo-young shakes her head urgently, even though there seems to be a problem. Jungwoo was worried about her looking particularly powerless today.

“Bo-young. I don't know what it is, but let me know if there's anything I can do to help. ”

“Even if it hurts your body and mind? ”

“Then you have to pay a lot of money. ”

“Chi.”

Song Bo-young smiled silently and disappeared.

9: 50am.

Jungwoo, who opened the door to the conference room of the battery center on the third floor, quickly bowed down after seeing some researchers who were there first.

“Nice to meet you. It's just a rain.”

Their gaze as they were chatting turned toward Jungwoo.

“You're the special researcher, right? Please, have a seat. ”

There was a hard distance in their atmosphere that greeted them face to face with Jung Woo.

It was also a familiar reaction for Jungwoo, who was already the fourth one to go back and forth from the center. A stranger who has nothing to do with it suddenly arrives and gets caught up in their core challenges.

Jung sat still in the back seat because he had experienced that he had gotten better if he worked quietly.

I also held in my hand a document that printed what I was going to do at the meeting today.

‘Almost a long-term project. I don't see what you can do for me. You want me to work on improving an existing research project? ’

The battery center was running more projects than any other. Almost twice as close. At this rate, few people will be able to participate even if they are working on a new project.

A few minutes later, more and more people entered the meeting room.

They sat in their seats, greeting each other, and no researcher sat near Jungwoo. Something is full and I feel a vacancy alone.

Where's Bo-young? ’

He looks upset and the meeting is coming up but I can't see him. I'm a little sorry to force you to sit next to her. You have to be considerate when this happens. She's not the only assistant researcher left.

‘Let's wait an hour or two. ’

While I was just reading the documents, I waited for a meeting, and someone sat down nearby. Jungwoo reflectively glanced back.

It was a woman who looked about twenty-four. The center's general researcher noticed it on his own, even though he was new, at least because he was the same age or older.

The researcher's gown is not worn. The appearance of the woman wearing a very luxurious-looking white blouse was easily pulled out of her eyes.

‘It's a nosebleed that feels a little artificial. ’

Even though she was plasticized, I thought it might be necessary to change the words that KG chemistry has two beautiful women. As you're curious about someone, you hear their muttering voice howling.

“Don't be afraid. It's not even KG. Until last year, we were number one in the industry. ”

A romantic voice far from solemn and serious.

“A Secretary of State should only be issued one card. I don't want to do anything alone. ”

Jungwoo guesses she's not a KG chemistry researcher and looks at the pass to her neck. It was a visitor access card with the name [Jeong Na] only.

When it was almost 10 o'clock, more people came in next to me, and I was choked up and suddenly sat next to Jungwoo.

‘There... ’

It was Song Bo-young's place, but I couldn't help it until this time. Even if I came in, this area had no place to sit.

- Center chief's here.

Someone at the door of the conference room cried out. All the best researchers in the batteries center were seated at the top. A bright mid-50s center manager opened his mouth briefly to the microphone.

- Good morning, everyone. Let the meeting begin.

Time to discuss the progress of the battery center project.

Team leader stepped forward to announce the thin-film manufacturing process coating substance, and Jungwoo's gaze directed toward the single-phase PT.

“Excuse me.”

At that time, Jungwoo's head turned to the voice next to him.

“Me?”

“Oh, yes. If you've seen all that, can I see it for a minute? ”

Jung Ina pointed to a weekly meeting document. Since Jungwoo had finished reading it anyway, I handed it over without any thought.

“You can keep looking. ”

“Thank you."

I handed over the document and tossed it around and looked at the monophasic phases several times. Jungwoo said that he was jealous because he didn't care.

“It's a three-page SOD study. Paragraph two. ”

“Oh, there is, there is. ”

She looks at the document with a small admiration. I wanted to be so quiet, but even after the PT screen moved, Jung saw that his gaze never moved in the second paragraph, and Jung had to swallow his sigh.

She had no idea what was going on in this meeting.

- Formerly made using the CVD process, but with refined patterns, strands were grasped towards a spin coating process that does not create any empty space.

After completing the presentation, Team Leader Kim Seung Yong walked out to the top floor and opened his mouth.

- Let me know what you think.

-As the process changes, metal and chlorine content has increased, how would you address the impurity issue?

-Dropping the coating material onto the wafer, rotating it at high speed to spread it thinly, creates a high purity film. We're going to overcome that with a high conversion rate of SiO, thin-film.

Jungwoo kept listening to his opinions and saying, "Oh, I see.”, “really?” I turned my eyes toward the love or the mechanical insertion of the Chuimbird. When Jungwoo looked at me, Jungwoo was flawed.

“Why, why? ”

“First paragraph on page 4. ”

“Yes?”

“I'm talking about what's in there. ”

“Ah……. ”

I covered my face with a blushing document.

-If you don't have any further comments, continue with Team 2 assignments....

Jungwoo searched the room of the conference room as if the exchange of opinions had ended.

‘Since you've been sent here, you should focus on your work for now. ’

In Jungwoo's flashing actions, Team Leader Kim said.

- Oh, there. Hold on, I've never seen you before.

Jung, who pressed the microphone button in front of him, opened his mouth.

“Special researcher only. I've been in the batteries for three weeks now. ”

I hear loud noises everywhere. Especially, I saw Jungwoo's face that he was happy with the absence of headstones.

“Can I just say one thing? ”

-Of course.

Jungwoo lowered his head slightly to the bogeyman, followed the reactions in the molecular world by looking at the formula in PT.

SOD. Spin-on Dielectrics was an abbreviation of coating material that insulates between the semiconductor's transgressors. How effectively it prevents current leakage is important.

“If we add a catalyst that removes impurities at rotational pressure, we might be able to make 99.998 percent thin film. ”

- Catalyst?

Jungwoo quickly put a chemical reaction in his mouth.

- We'll have to review this. Seems reasonable enough. The exact expression is…….

“Yes, I'll email you when it's done. ”

After the conversation with Team Leader, I could feel the eyes of the researchers who had seen Jungwoo for the first time changed.

“True story? I've only been to work for 30 minutes. ”

“So the C.O.s are all going crazy. ”

“I never thought I'd be able to point out the first team assignment there. The rumors were true.”

The second team leader did not stop making noise until he stood on the platform.

It was also the know-how of Jungwoo, who traveled around several centers, that showing skills quickly was a way to gain trust.

Jungwoo turned his head to the research assignment of the two teams because he felt an awkward gaze when he worked hard.

“The fifth paragraph on page four. MCFC. Molten Carbonate Fuel Cell. ”

“Ah……. ”

I didn't know why I was sitting here listening to a meeting I didn't understand at all, but I looked at Jungwoo with a thankful look.

The announcement of the two team leaders continued for a while. Jung Mina carefully handed over the document, looking at it alternately with the PT screen, and gently spoke to Jungwoo.

“This time it's like the other side, right? You don't think he's been to a meeting like this before, do you? ”

A natural question that causes you to lose your words. Jungwoo was a little overwhelmed and asked.

“Excuse me, but why are you here? ”

“As you wish.”

“Who……. ”

“Well, here's the question. ”

I shook my head at the awkward feeling of cleaning as I began to concentrate as if I were writing from a conversation of statues. Favors are over. It's time to focus on the meeting.

- I listened to Senior Researcher Park Hwan Day. If you don't have any further comments...

Jungwoo waits for all the conversations to end, then raises his hand.

- Hey, there. Special Agent Lim Wu?

“It's nothing. The ratio of coal and natural gas entering the reactant gas treatment unit must be adjusted separately so that each cell is equally energized. If we increase our existing 50-60% LHV efficiency to 55-65%, won't we be able to cover the energy damage from material corrosion? ”

As I put on the microphone again, the room of the conference was silent. As the researcher mostly watches Jungwoo, his eyes widen next to him and he turns to Jungwoo.

- For your information.

After the second team leader's presentation, Jung Ina asked in a low voice.

“Nice meeting you. Everyone, regardless of age, can comment. Embrace it.”

“Normally, I'd call you the chief's second in command. ”

“Oh.”

During the presentation of the leader of the three teams, Jeong Ina's ignorant nod became increasingly advanced.

“How natural am I? You're talking about page six, page two. ”

“I see.”

Now Jungwoo is also answering dry questions.

- Low-voltage batteries comprised of ‘Hi-Cap’ cells are excellent for start-ups when cold.

The announcement of the three team leaders describing the hybrid automobile battery project was completed. The content was so clear that there was only a small exchange of opinions and no further questions came out.

Jungwoo pressed the microphone button.

“Hey……. ”

All over the conference room. "Again?” Or, “I mean, isn't that guy part of the whole project?” The words came and went.

Jungwoo smiled lightly. I was actually going to.

In an hour.

After the announcement of Team Leader Yun Cheongho's lithium-ion ESS battery, Jungwoo caught his eye in the conference room.

- Special Agent Limited Woo. Do you have anything to say?

I turned on the microphone to answer Mr. Yoon's question.

“The amount of separation film, the cathode ion blocking device, is not fully functional at high temperatures, and as a result, it seems to eat the ions of the electrolyte and reduce the lifespan of the cell. ”

- Reduce life span?

“If you can use it for about 10 years... ”

Jungwoo responded by analyzing the life deterioration factor in large batteries to calculate the response rate.

“Fifteen days and 21 hours. ”

If that's a factor of -10 years, it would be a waste of resources to improve the shutoff.

“That depends on how you judge it. But wouldn't it be a little hard for the client to say," We've got 15 days, but we're gonna need more money to figure this out? "”

Team Leader Yoon coughed because of Jungwoo.

“If you look for more, it won't cost much. Anyway, that's all I have to say. ”

At the same time, the project progress was announced.

Fake calendar puts the microphone in his mouth.

- Team Leaders, this week only special researchers will supplement and report to us based on the points made.

A special researcher who revealed at least one improvement for each of the nine research assignments was shocked inside the conference room.

- It was a monster, more than rumors.

- I'm more curious about what I'm gonna do here.

As the navy watched the people, they asked Jungwoo.

“Everyone's looking at you. Did you do something wrong?”

“Mmmm... ”

I had to scratch my chin at a lower level question than I could have predicted for its natural chemistry level.

The schedule gladly turned over the PT screen and Jungwoo and opened his mouth.

- I'm gonna have to put it all on the table. You all know that researcher Lim Wu has started dispatching from today. I'll take over the project right away. Team Leader Lim Wu, can you get up?

‘Finally.'

Jungwoo stood up and looked forward to the bluff.

- We have an urgent request from Han Jeon. Only to companies with the best battery technology in the country. It's going to be a common project for center death, and it's going to be a technological exchange, so it's going to be a big deal. Support me if you think about it. It's a short-term project, so I'll allow multiple studies even if I'm on another project.

I thought it was about a large battery, which was said to be a request for the Korean Electric Power Corporation. I was going to ask about it in detail, but the agenda said first.

- You know, the batteries are being supplied by us and the Hansung SDI. I've called the head of the team to exchange opinions. Oh, we're sitting together. Did they say hello to each other?

‘What……. ’

- Ching or Team Leader, please get up.

Jungina, who was sitting next to me, got up from her seat. I was amazed at her modest beauty.

She lowers her head slightly and puts her mouth on the microphone, telling everyone.

“KG chemistry was my first visit, and I was very impressed. So this is the captain who's going to be working with us? ”

- Yes, the treasure of the center.

Jungina turned her eyes to look at Jung Woo.

“Wow, a young person like this is in charge of the project. ”

Jungwoo wanted to return the words as they were. And no matter how stupid he was, he didn't understand how he was a team leader.

Jungina asked Jungwoo to shake her hand.

“Please take good care of them for the next two weeks. Compete in good faith with each other and make your project a success. ”

“ ……. ”
