Chemistry

1: 00 p.m., N1 Lab Area.

Transformer engaged! All hands to the safety line! ”

The voice of all Korean employees spread through the loudspeaker. When the machine started and there was heavy vibrations all around the console box, I was nervous about the faces of the KG chemical team members.

“I hope the prescription works. I'm more nervous because I'm wearing safety suits like this. ”

“Aren't we sparks burning in the middle like Hansung? ”

Song Bo-young, sitting on the main operating seat, floated the power storage information on the monitor. As the current fluctuation graph fluctuates up and down at the beginning, worried sighs erupt from the mouths of the surrounding team members.

- Your birthday?

However, Song Bo-young's interest was not in the monitor, but in Jungwoo and Jeong's conversation that was in the morning.

- I hate to break it to you, but it's not polite to go to someone you don't even know. I don't feel like I'm invited, but I don't feel like I should be here.

Phoebic.

As the charge rate breaks 80%, the internal temperature fluctuations increase, resulting in a primary beep.

- If you're coming with me, it has nothing to do with you.

- That's the most important part. It's a perfect misunderstanding. We're not in a relationship. I'm sorry to say no.

The gaze of Song Bo-young, who was staring at the blank monitor, returned to Jungwoo sitting next to her.

“Why? Are you nervous? ”

After asking Jungwoo, Song Bo-young quickly regained her mind.

“Oh, no. ”

“Don't worry, we've taken care of the troublesome ‘VO' F ’ingredients. ”

Song Bo-young was stabbed, but she kept her mouth shut, because she wasn't distracted by the problem. However, the thought of grandfather's birth never disappeared.

After the consultation with the stewardship, I thought maybe I could ask Jungwoo to come with me. However, the moment I went there with Jungwoo, I was naturally involved in quite complex family matters, and I could not remove that burden from him without any relationship.

Song Bo-young mumbled silently and looked at the monitor, saying, "I almost had no idea."

Meanwhile, the output has reached 100%.

“First one's a success? I think the temperature is more stable than yesterday. ”

“I don't know yet. You blew up yesterday. ”

Song Bo-young also focused on the cell researchers Shin Seung Chul and Kim Ji-man's voice. She puts her hand on the control button that sends the energy stored in the battery to the detector.

“I'm going to start powering up. ”

The ship's conductor and staff watching from behind swallowed the saliva and watched the results.

Power stored in the ESS facility passed through the detector.

After one tremor on the monitor, the test was terminated freshly, with no limit exceeded for five minutes.

[Remaining: 83%/Conversion efficiency: 90.78%]

[Power density: 330 mAh/g]

When the results showed that the information on the sensor attached to the battery cell was stable, the previous staff who were watching each other sighed for relief. This was the first test that produced positive results since the incident last month and entered the emergency system.

The boat conductor approached Jungwoo.

“You've done it. Well done, Team Leader. ”

“Well, that's a start. ”

Song Bo-young stored the final value from the console on the server, tapping Jungwoo's shoulders, and saw the ship's conductor thanking her. The words of friendship that was just beginning were never humble.

Finding and solving the problem was something that any company could have done, and from now on it had to enter a full-scale competition to improve the overall ESS equipment. In that sense, the Hansung SDI with nine improvement reports already on the first day was different from the starting line.

Song Bo-young caught my mind.

It's nothing compared to what I have to do as deputy chief.

Lab 2.

“Are you guys Hansung Aces? ”

Ryu Pyeong-sik, who came down to the war by the head of the center, heard about what happened yesterday and sighed deeply.

“A day or two on the project? Selling your parts to death doesn't matter about other people's homework. They've been eating lab food for years, and you're ignoring the young head of KG Chemistry? ”

When the head researcher and senior veteran of the SDI of Hansung put a bullet in his head, the nine successors, including the solidarity, fell silent and bowed their heads.

“Reflect. You're the only one who can't sit on the team leader or affection. ”

Ryu Pyeong placed his hand on a stack of reports on the table.

“Earlier, the power density of the KG chemical battery cells was 330mAh per gram. In our test, bring it up to 350. ”

“Is density 20? Our PCS efficiency and BMS capabilities outperform KG chemistry. It's easy to reinforce this · ·"

“Sohun. Of course I'm taking it. ”

Ryu Pyeong said after looking at the symphony as if it was pathetic.

“Delivering greater efficiency than KG chemistry in all configurations. This assignment is given to you by Friday. Do you understand?”

A visit from a project experienced senior. The research team at SDI in Hansung has just started to get some energy going.

* * *

Friday, N1 Lab Area.

- Commencing KG Chemistry IV test.

Song Bo-young manipulated the operation button of the console.

After 5 minutes of power transfer from an ESS facility that was 100% charged, everyone's interest was drawn to the results.

[Remaining: 82%/Conversion efficiency: 90.23%]

[Power density: 345 mAh/g]

From the recorded voltage, current and temperature of the battery to the control process of the operating system, Song Bo-young carefully looked at the recorded screen turned to Jungwoo.

“It's more stable than the third wave. Energy density rose 15 when compared to the first experiment. ”

Improved research has encouraged members of the KG Chemistry team. Jungwoo got up from his seat after taking off his helmet.

“Well done, everyone. As soon as you're done cleaning up, head to Seoul. ”

“Captain, don't you study this afternoon? ”

I glanced at the question of Park Geun-soo.

“Tomorrow is the weekend, and if you leave for dinner, you'll be there after 9: 00. We're stepping up. We have another week. Until then, system stabilization is the priority. ”

“Still, the inspection of the Hansung side test. ”

“One is enough. Anyone who's more confident in analyzing it than I am. If not, no additional work allowance. ”

Jungwoo joked and laughed at the mouth of his team members.

“Come on, stop talking! Let's go home!”

“Yes, sir! ”

The drive-by shouting team members began to clean up after themselves.

Jungwoo sat in front of the console and watched the analysis results and also told Song Bo-young who had no interest.

“Hey, stop storing and take your hands off me. We should go up to Seoul.”

“Mi-hee's picking me up tomorrow. ”

“Tomorrow? Not today? ”

“I'm going to work late. ”

I saw Song Young-young on the job without even looking away from the monitor, and I filled her tongue.

“Take it easy.”

“Yesterday, you saw the 3rd result of Hansung. There's very little difference between us and storage density. ”

“I can't help it. Vanadium-based lithium-ion batteries are almost at their limit. ”

“So we need to improve the power conversion system. They're running day and night. You do know a professional lead researcher is here, right? ”

“You don't believe me? ”

Song Bo-young couldn't find an answer. I can't believe it. I don't know about the rest of the team, but I've already briefed her on the spleen card for next week. However, I only wanted to go late if I could be in Seoul this week.

“· · · I study in parallel, and it's not hard at all, so go up to Jungwoo or Seoul first. I'll take a look at the Han Star 4th test. ”

“You're scaring me like Dr. Moon. ”

“Have a good weekend, Captain Lim Wu. ”

“I'm sorry I left you alone. ”

“If you're sorry, you can shoot the meat later. ”

“I'm not that sorry. ”

Song Bo-young cleared up the place while smiling. After reviewing the analysis records, Song Bo-young suddenly remembered and turned to Jungwoo.

“Speaking of Dr. Moon, It's been a long trip. Now, the professor asked me not long ago how the genetic research project was going to be scheduled. ”

Jungwoo, carrying the compound box, looks back at Song Bo-young.

“Oh, please tell me it's just getting started. Dr. Moone came home yesterday. ”

“You're finally here. ”

“Well, I'll be going. ”

“Goodbye. ”

Jung Mina, who was watching at the edge of the N1 experimental area, bowed her head to the side for members of the KG chemistry team to pass by.

“Mr. Jung. It's a test run! ”

“Oh! You look so beautiful again today. ”

From time to time, the KG Chemistry team members who had random conversations were warm from the first time they saw it. Lively voices followed from those disappearing outside.

“I can't believe you're leaving early for the weekend. I've never been more comfortable with a project like this. ”

“But I'm sorry because I have a lot to learn. ”

“You too? You know the exhaust that came into the cell center earlier this year? Chief of Public Officials. He came in with Chief Lim Woo and Project Audrey, and the levels have changed. That's why you're on the third team now. ”

The person leading the team seemed to see the best answer when looking at how things were going to work out.

“I haven't been able to speak properly since I got close. ”

After living a life unfamiliar with rejection, that day was shocked all the time. Even the consolation of the Secretary of Saint Faith that he had asked for a birthday party in two days after knowing his face was clearly over did not feel easy.

Jung Mina turns her head toward her team members who are entering for the next test.

Creepy, neurotic faces. A few days ago, the senior researcher was like that all along.

“What are you doing here? ”

Ryu Pyeong-sik approached Jeong Inna's side.

“I've been waiting. We all have to work hard to get results. ”

“Today you'll see higher than KG chemistry. because they're taking the results for granted. ”

Jungina's gaze at the responsible researcher's assertion that he only dealt with his team members with an office and cold attitude was towards Jungwoo on the move with his team members.

“Let's go inside.”

Ryu Pyung Equation walked forward. She turns away with a small sigh.

- Initiating Hansung SDI 4th test.

A Korean employee loudspeaker rang out in the set up experimental area.

Five minutes after the console was tampered with by the higher-ups.

[Remaining: 83%/Conversion efficiency: 90.4%]

[Power density: 350mAh/g]

“Okay! Here we go. ”

The battery information on the monitor bounced off my finger. And I asked the widower who was watching.

“How are you feeling, sir? ”

“The skill of the Hansung is remarkable. This power control system is something that I would love to apply to the power grid network. ”

“That's what we'll discuss when the formal offer comes. ”

“The competitiveness of these two companies makes us more concerned. ”

Ryu Pyeong-sik laughed loudly at the boat manager's words.

“Haha. You'll see. This difference, it's going to keep happening. ”

Ko Sang-gun, who was watching the analysis monitor, snorted at the sight of Ryu Pyeong, who assured him. In fact, the last few days, the equation was just a spoon. The crisis of not cooperating with each other is inevitable, so the rest of us tried to die, and now we get this result.

“Well done, Representative Goo. ”

Jungina came up to her side, said, and disappeared.

Ko Sang-gun said to everyone that he had worked hard. He looked bitter when he saw Jeong, who was only interested in him as a team leader. The first goal of attracting her attention was to focus on her research work, and I could hardly try. Fortunately, the other team members are in the same situation.

It's a little comforting that the phenomenon that brought the name of Lim Wu to the forefront has not been noticed. I was only quiet after the first day I was impressed.

“I'll see you guys Monday. ”

Following KG chemistry that had left early, Jung Yi also ordered a quick leave.

The recommendation was to organize the records and access the central server to prepare for the next week's test. Then I looked at the shared data of KG chemistry.

Those left behind as a result of today.

I accidentally clicked on the data to think of it as something special.

The battery structure used by KG chemistry was the addition of a nanothin film to the basic structure of the electric current. It was surprising enough that process improvements would draw out profound efficiencies at the level of the limited SDI, but today's results revealed their limitations.

“· · · Hmm? ”

Among the research materials, there was a file that I felt like I had never felt better about. List of compound requests never used in lithium ion batteries. It was scheduled to arrive next week.

I quickly changed the appearance of the high moral issue I was looking at after clicking.

“You want to change the structure of vanadium-based electrolytes? ”

Higher order reconstructions with power conversion simulations entered a structure that changed through rough guesses. After pressing Enter with your trembling fingertips, the pupils of high spirituality, which were quietly waiting, are greatly swollen.

[Conversion Efficiency: 96.78%]

[Power density: 480 mAh/g]

“No, that's ridiculous. ”

It was astonishing that the Lithium-ion battery market with an average power conversion efficiency of 90% was close to 97%.

Moreover, this power density was something else. Despite every effort it made to raise it by 20, it was 130 times higher. A power density increase of 30% was impossible with process improvement alone.

“No, it's just a simulation. The actual variables are not reflected at all. ”

A stiff neck passing by the muttering of the high spirits lifts its head toward the monitor.

“What are you doing? What kind of simulation is this? Are the numbers so ridiculous? Do you have a bug?”

When he looked at the file and saw that the author's name had "Limited Woo" written on it, he rushed out of the test area with his cell phone.

You press the number as you try to catch your breath. You hear a voice directly from the other side.

- Yes, Sang-gun. How'd the test go?

“This is bad.”

Did you beat KG chemistry again? The commoner is confident.

“The test is not important today. KG chemistry. Limited rainfall is preparing for another level of improvement. ”

Ko Sang-gun revealed the compound earlier to the center leader.

- Will the structure be stable since the internal storage density is so high? The density of lithium packing increases the risk of explosion if you force it into place.

“If you are able to reconstruct the electrochemical process, you will be within predictable range. ”

- Is there anything I can't do about my specialty? How old are you?

Answering twenty-seven, I heard elasticity from beyond the phone.

- Fucking genius. You just graduated from grad school, right?

“This is not the time to be amazed. Dr. Ryu Pyeong-sik is not enough. ”

- Equation is her name only. She's a senior career. This is crazy. Last time I spoke to the warden, Chief of Staff. If you go, Dr. Butler Choi will have the power. Do we really have to do this?

“If it comes back the next week, you won't be able to flip over if you die. ”

When the center leader mentioned a talented person from Harvard University's Materials Energy Institute, he was relieved.

- You tell the equation. I can't tell her I'm not good enough to send a stronger one.

Jiaying.

When Jungwoo returned to the power researcher's quarters and packed his things, his cell phone rang and he held it in his hand. It was a text from Dr. Moone.

[Are you busy? Dr. Heaven sent me an e-mail with the genetic analysis that was done during the course of your treatment. Please refer to Mr. Jungwoo's personal research.]

It was like he had already returned to work at night. Jungwoo replied with a question and turned on his laptop on the table. I opened my mailbox and clicked on the material, and it was full.

You had the nerve to take me hostage and clean up after me? ’

She really is an iron woman.

Looking at the vast information, I also learned that Dr. Heaven's ability is not due to innate genetic traits.

The AF series started with a cure for hereditary diseases. ’

During the dive and reading, Park Geun-soo who used the same accommodation finished packing and looked at Jungwoo.

“Sir, aren't you leaving for the bus? ”

“Oh, I'll be there in a minute. ”

After the data was too exciting, Jung only waved his hands and sent Park Geun-soo away.

How long has it been?

Jung turned his head as he felt the rush. It was because of the dimming outside of the window when the bright light came in at 1pm.

“Whoa, how long have you been doing this? ”

Now, I've unpacked some of the packing I had packed because I thought it would be a hassle to go back to Seoul by going to Daejeon station and catching KTX.

“I'll go in the morning. ”

I thoroughly searched the data to fix the chocolate bar's mouth.

* * *

“Ugh, my neck. ”

Jungwoo rubs his pretty neck and looks out the window.

Saturdays at 8: 00 am, the sunlight was rising. I fell unconscious on the table while obsessed with reviewing the materials sent by Dr. Moon until dawn.

“I don't sleep here any more. Let's go home and get some rest. ”

I just finished showering and left the main hall with my luggage. As I walked towards the entrance of the power researcher, I noticed that the weather had become more and more summer. It's hot in the morning.

It was the time I crossed the highway that was lined up.

A sports car, which does not match the researcher's calm scenery at all, approached with a soft engine sound from the entrance.

Whose is it? ’

The car stopped right in front of Jungwoo.

“Jungwoo? ”

It was her best friend, Seo Mi-hee, who showed her face when the driver's seat window lowered.

“Oh, hi. ”

“Where are you going? ”

“The Great War.”

“Are you going to Seoul? ”

Jungwoo nodded and Seo Mi-hee pointed to the side.

“Get in. I'm going up to Seoul with Bo-young. ”

“Ahh · · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

“I refuse. ”

A sports car parked in front of the main car park. Seo Mi-hee turned down the music volume and looked back at Jungwoo.

“How can you move separately when you're so distant? Keep your hands together. ”

“Actually, I was supposed to go up yesterday. ”

“Oh, it's Bo-young. Aren't you going to the party? ”

“A party?”

Seo Mi-hee sighed a little when she read Jungwoo's expression that she had no idea at all.

“It didn't say anything again. Today is Bo-young's birthday party at Seung-am Art Hall. She's very polite, so she definitely gets her birthday about the museum. ”

Jung stopped at this sound. It was clear she was referring to the party she had asked for. Then I forgot that I was also Song Young's family as Chairman of KG Group.

“I don't know what I'd say in such a big position. ”

“That's the kind of place a trustworthy person should be next to. I don't know what kind of embarrassment I'm gonna get. ”

“It's a party. Congratulations. Aren't you?”

Seo Mi-hee smiled at Jin-woo's remarks and asked with a serious look.

“You don't know how Bo-young died, Father and Mother, right? ”

“That kind of thing · · Yeah, I don't know. ”

“I'd rip that head off if I told you, but Bo-young won't do it with her mouth. There's a behind-the-scenes story of KG chemistry. ”

Jungwoo could not keep his mouth shut about the story coming out of Seo Mi-hee's mouth.

Song Bo-young's parents died almost at the same time. Her past history continued for a while that the whole family began harassing her with a one-sided greed with shares to inherit.

“· · · It's been seven years. Since Bo-young insisted on following Mother's last name, Bo-young gave her permission to study abroad on condition. I came back last year and left right after joining KG chemistry. ”

“How hard can it be to go to a party today? ”

“Jungwoo, have you ever seen the morning show? All sorts of annoying problems with the moneylenders out there. ”

“Why is that? ”

“That's not exaggerated. ”

I swallowed the groaning of this sound.

“Why isn't she coming out, by the way? You told me to be here by 9: 00, and then you didn't answer your phone. ”

“I'll go. He's probably up all night, passed out. ”

Jungwoo opened the door of the passenger seat and came out.

Bang, bang.

At the sound of the knock, Song Bo-young raises her head, which was buried on the table.

“· · That's right, Mi-hee. ”

Standing up with a note on her left cheek, she walks after the sound with her half-closed eyes. As soon as I open the door, I duck my head.

“Sorry, I forgot. ”

“It looks that way. ”

As another voice was heard instead of the expected voice, Song Young-young came to her senses.

“Jungwoo? ”

“A note on your cheek? Let's see, lithium-litch oxyfluoride? Have you been studying the materials for Monday? ”

Bang!

After reflexively closing the door, Song Bo-young covered her burning face with both hands and rolled her feet into a cave.

“Oh, my God. He shows up every time I have a bad face. I heard you were leaving yesterday. Why are you out here? Mi-hee, isn't this what you wrote? Why is this the only thing happening these days?

It's so hot! I'm so pissed off, man. ”

“· · · There. I can hear you, Frank. ”

“Quiet!”

“Yep.”

Song Bo-young hurriedly ran to the bathroom and washed, then opened the door with a towel wrapped around her head. Jungwoo was still standing with his back against the hall.

“What are you doing here? ”

“Mi-hee said she'd take me to Seoul. I was up late working, too. ”

Jungwoo looked at Song Bo-young's face and said.

“Not so bad today. ”

“Don't be ridiculous. ”

“I didn't mean to, but I'm glad you laughed. Let's get going.”

“Wait!”

Song Bo-young, who had closed the door, changed her clothes, took her bag and came out. Jungwoo pushed out of the room, holding another note in his hand that was hanging in the hallway, and asked Song Bo-young.

Did you send our battery information to a company called Biggins? ”

“Apart from that, I sent an overview to three small businesses that needed technical cooperation. ”

Song Bo-young, who locked the door outside, walked to the stairs and spoke.

“It's a process of exploring the potential for project development in multiple angles. I think it's my job to be deputy chief. ”

“This is like the special absorbent that you created during the Seungju polymer project, right? You exported to China a lot differently than you originally intended. ”

“It's not a special absorbent, it's a sanitary pad. Jungwoo did what he wanted. ”

Jungwoo followed her down the stairs grumbling carefully.

“All of a sudden, can you do me a favor? ”

“What is it?”

“I'm curious about the nature of the old man. Can you take me there? ”

Song Bo-young, surprised, stopped walking.

“I beg your pardon?”

“I don't have anything else to do tonight. If it's not too much trouble, I'll just take a quick look around. ”

Song Bo-young, who was looking at Jung Woo with complicated eyes, asked.

“Mi-hee did something? ”

“No · · · ·? ”

“You did.”

“Is that why you can't take me? ”

“If you wanted to go, you shouldn't have accepted it when Jung or the team leader asked. ”

Song Bo-young's point was that Jungwoo was shaking his head.

“That's crazy, being with the daughter of a rival company. If you see him, he'll be fired immediately. I still have a loan to repay. ”

“I'm serious. It might hurt both your body and your mind. ”

“Kimchi just got kicked in the face and my shins are chapped. I think it would be a fun experience if that were to happen. ”

“I'm going to be very sorry to Jungwoo. ”

“Oh, you know my terms. If your body and mind get hurt · ·”

“You want money for this? ”

Song Bo-young opened her eyes wide and shaken her head with a smile.

“It's not that much of a conscience. The Michelin-starred chef makes great beef. ”

“Okay, okay. I'll buy you one next time. ”

“Well, I'll give you a month's pass. So you can eat it every weekend. ”

“What's what? ”

Song Bo-young raised her eyebrows as soon as she shrugged her shoulders with her half-joking eyes.

“If you shower with food for a week · ·”

“Pussy!”
