Chemistry

“We're here, sir. ”

At the secretary's words, Yoon Su Bay's head, sitting in the back seat of a large generation, looked out the window. This was the underground parking lot leading to the terminal lab.

“Would you like to go to the warden's office? ”

“No. I'll see the warden later, put out the fire first. To K3 Executive Department.”

“I'll be in touch with you soon. ”

Executive Director Yoon Su-man was a thick veteran advertiser at an advertising agency. I have been enthusiastic and busy with KG Electronics image marketing since I was in the advertising group up until last month with a executive promotion.

KG Electronic Flagship Smartphone, K3, Spending a Huge Development Cost. Immediately before the launch date]

When the headline of the article that I saw in the morning came out, Yoon Su-man leaked out.

“I'm waiting for the chief of Gwangdo Castle in the module room. ”

After finishing the call, the secretary came out of the passenger seat and opened the back door.

Yun Shuman hurriedly went inside. Then I looked at the one who was waiting in front of the executive elevator.

“Director Jeon Hun? ”

“Executive Director Yoon? ”

Yun was forced to tilt his head because he appeared at a handset laboratory with no connection at all to the head of KG's most famous TV business unit.

“Are you here to see the warden? ”

“No, that's not it. ”

I got on an elevator with an unexpected person.

“I'm sorry, but I need you to keep what you saw today a secret. ”

Secrets or whatever, Yoon Su had no intention of caring about the head of the headquarters because his nose was a stone. As the elevator stands on the sixth floor, the head of the company turns to look away.

“Good work.”

“Go inside.”

After a while.

Yoon Su-man, who opened the door of a modular room full of complex mechanics, wandered around and found the outlying city far away. I was working on manipulating my team members and devices without even realizing I was there.

“Chief Guk. ”

Kwak Do-Seong's head turned back only after I called him closer.

“Oh, sir. I'm sorry, 30 seconds.”

Yoon Su-man, who anticipated it would be a portrait house, was surprisingly busy in the atmosphere of the module room. ’I became a face.

“Jin-yel, take the ESD filter off the image sensor and re-measure the resistance. ”

Kwak Do-Seong, who urgently finished the instruction, ran to Yun Su-man.

“What are you doing here? ”

“A story about K3, which has been going around since Tuesday, went up to the major economy this morning. We have to make a statement, but if we react like K2, only the image will be worse. ”

When last year came to light, Kwak Do-Seong smiled bitterly. A small number of mobile phone problems grew in an instant, leading to major recalls. Probably by then half of the PR team will have split off.

Only Yoon-soo asked.

“I'm sure you understand the circumstances of my visit, but is there anything technical to dispute the results of the blind test? It's a small advantage. Of course, to be honest. We need to keep breathing so we can save the future. ”

“I can't confirm that for now. Pros and cons continue to change due to changes in technology structure. ”

“What changed? ”

Yoon Su was not alone to Gwak Do-Seong who replied irresponsibly that the launch was weeks away. I was about to shoot a message because I didn't know what was going on, but an interior glass door with UMB department marks opened and a voice flew open.

“Chief Guk! Did you finish your electrostatic load test? ”

“It's still going on. ”

“Please hurry. Finish within the morning to waterproof coating with the design team. ”

“Do you want me to do that today? ”

“Both the AP and Camera teams are messing around. We can't just stand by and do nothing. ”

Yun-man, who was actively discussing work with Kwak Do-won and the other department heads for a while, was confused for a moment whether this was really the product development department that was scheduled to fail.

“What were you discussing? ”

“Since yesterday, everyone's performance competition has lit up. ”

“Competition?”

“That's... ”

Kwak Do-Seong opened her mouth.

“The displays to K3 show world-class luminosity efficiency. Other departments were very motivated by it. ”

“Top? You've been criticized for being popular and dark in user ratings. ”

“That was a few days ago. Now we have to think of it as a completely different display. Carefully predict, in the next two years, that's a market-leading technology. ”

“You're not just making this up to avoid the test results, are you? ”

“It's 100% true. ”

When a technical rebuttal came out, Yoon Su could not help but pay attention.

“Carry on.”

“Batteries are adjusting as well as displays. ”

“You're afraid it's gonna explode? ”

“No way.”

Kwak Do-Seong responded to the room monitor looking at the technical specification information that was being updated in real time by each department.

“It's not a confirmation. However, since it is 1.5 times more efficient than the hits of Hansung earlier this year, considering the reduced power of the display, it should be considered that there is almost one more level of auxiliary battery. ”

“Wait. The batteries are more manipulative than K2 because they only care about performance. ”

“We're working on a new process. We're adding anti-static patents to it, and we're taking away all the existing heavy parts. If you succeed, you will lose a lot of weight and will become the lightest phone across the flagship line. ”

When I heard that there were so many improvements to take down, Yoon Su became an unreliable face.

“No, what's so uncertain about that? What could be improved so much? Technology development is a structure that skips two or three steps a day. ”

Kwak Dosung scratched his cheek. That's what he agreed with. Not long ago.

“With the dramatic increase in relaxation power, everyone wants to add something new. Integration by department will reveal improvements. ”

“The more I hear, the more I get excited. You guys kidnap aliens in a week? ”

Kwak Do-Seong nodded.

“I didn't kidnap him, but maybe the aliens did. ”

“Are you kidding me? Who? Who's an alien? ”

“I am a researcher of KG chemistry. ”

Yoon Su Man's ears were filled with new names.

“He's a total Superman. ”

In amazement of the ICT department chief, Nam-Seok Hyun, Jeonhoon, head of the TV business division, snorted.

“K3 is rumored to be broken, what nonsense. If you accept, I'll save you. Keep it a secret from the warden and join the Smart TV development team next week. ”

“Salvation is not important right now. ”

The chief carefully observed the work of his colleagues replacing the communication amplifier circuits and exclaimed immediately.

“Woochan! Let's go to AMT chips, not 4G chips. ”

“Ancient? The fever will overheat. ”

“Just do it. The other departments will be removing the EMC components, so the temperature will be covered. ”

The other chief, who finished his instructions, looked back at the message.

“Thanks for the offer, but please check with other departments if you are responsible for internal communications chips on Smart TV. ”

“I don't understand. I can't believe we're still going down this path of failure. ”

In the weeks to come, the K3 project team that was going to scatter horns wanted to recruit useful talent first couldn't accept the rejection of the chief.

“You know how the TV business works. I only paid 300% last year. ”

“Even if it fails, I think it would be a more disadvantage to fall out of this development. I want to see what Lim Woo can do better. ”

“Is he that great? ”

“What can I tell you a hundred times? I have a module test at 3: 00. Take a look. ”

Eighth floor, inside the Display Lab.

A sub-difference in the daily surface treatment with a micro electrode rod on a coin-sized substrate raised its head in an electron microscope.

Mr. Han. This way is ready.

You're done here.

After completing the compound combination, the refining approached with the palm of the hand wearing protective gloves, blocking the test tube entrance.

‘Let's see. ’

When examining whether the nanosensors were embedded in the substrate with the subdifference in molecular field of view, the refining stopped looking at one place.

Semi-difference. Please check the circuit near C12 one more time.

"C12"?

The sub-gap turned his eyes to the microscope turned the screen to the point of Jungwoo by manipulating the switch, and then his eyes widened.

That was a mistake. The sensor must have wobbled when I picked it up.

I looked at the semi-difference of adjusting the sensor circuits with the micro tweezers with an impressive face.

You still have the sense that the machine can't keep up.

I saw it when the microscope moved earlier. I didn't think I could see the difference because I was focusing.

I saw Jungwoo with a smile, I guess.

I'll put it in.

The substrate was completely submerged when the liquid in the test tube was spilled over the glass dish.

Jung, who was looking at the liquid in the molecular world that was beginning to melt into the sensors, asked about the Dust Project team during the reaction.

With the · · · public agency tender, Mae has been in KG Chemistry Beijing recently.

Didn't you follow Joon-Tsai?

I'm preparing to compete with companies in Seoul.

"Huh? You're prepared for that?" Did you get promoted?

The half-difference in Jungwoo's question lowered my head.

I'm not enough, but I'm taking Mr. Han's place.

Wow. Congratulations, Deputy Chief.

Joon-Tsai was congratulated by Jungwoo with an embarrassed look on his face.

In the meantime, Jungwoo said that the bonding reaction between the substrate and the compound was over.

Never mind.

The sub-difference that the substrate was removed with the tweezers was bonded to a detection device on one side of the test base.

What kind of molecule is this?

Ink ingredients.

Ink?

Jungwoo points to a pile of documents stacked on the table.

Like that.

When the sensor portion of the detector is turned back to the document, the figure appears on the connected display.

A4 13 is 0.02 ppm. Adjust the program so that the numbers tell you how many pages.

If you were tracking ink on paper surfaces, would you be in charge of an antique art project? Just like you helped me with my artwork.

No, I'm trying to build a spy protection device.

I only laughed at Jung, looking at the half-difference that tilted my head.

I just need the machine, but thank you for your help.

It's a lot more help for me and Team Leader May. Anytime.

Jung felt sorry for Jung as soon as he started packing his things.

That's right. You owe us. Do you want to settle that today?

Debt?

Jungwoo pointed to Song Bo-young who just walked out of the Battery Group Lab.

"That guy over there owes me.

“Ms. Song? ”

“Jun Tsai!”

Song Bo-young came to me with a greeting face. Jungwoo passed by, greeting her appropriately with Jun Tsai.

“We're having a meat dinner today. ”

“Really? Okay, okay. ”

“What you're shooting at. ”

“Why would I? She's not just spreading the word without a reason. ”

“You must have forgotten all about it already. ”

“I'm trying to eat something else. Not anymore. ”

Jungwoo shakes his head bitterly.

“I can't. Joon-Tsai, the woman we loved having drinks with and stuffing tons of sanitary pads in the sensory box.

“Stop!”

Song Bo-young, who ran reflexively and blocked Jungwoo's mouth, met Dr. Han Kyung-soo, who was working on display adjustments on the other side of the lab.

“It's nothing. I'm sorry I yelled. ”

“Bo-young is also energetic today. It looks good.”

Song Bo-young, who was exchanging awkward smiles with Han Kyungsoo, turned his head.

“That's a lot of seniors. Okay, what kind of meat? ”

“Was there any kind of meat? Joon-Chai and I only know one thing. Mr. Jun. Isn't that right?”

“Right. beef. ”

“Look, I know the difference. ”

“Oh, my God, are you two Welce? I don't know, Joon-Chai. Do you understand Korean now? Meat is pork belly or shoulder fat · ·”

“beef is onlyone meat. And good.”

“Hey!"

At 3pm.

K3 development representatives who were gathering inside the module room had to pause when they saw the two executives who were struggling in the inner corner.

- Aren't you the head of the TV division?

- Don't you have a PR secretary?

Only Yun Shu looked back at the message among those who shunned the position far away, murmuring.

“Didn't you ask me to keep your visit facts a secret? ”

“That's it. I need to see someone. Then why are you still here? ”

“I have something to check out, too. ”

The two executives, who had no position at all related to the terminal laboratory, sighed deeply in their own stories.

Soon.

A young man entered the module room with a member of the case design team.

- Have a meeting and get back to me. because the sensor specialist is still up there.

- The performance seemed clear. I didn't expect you to recognize the prints from the printer.

- It senses the space between the inks.

Since most people focused on the young man, the two executives' eyes also naturally pointed towards him.

The young man was seated at the center table assembling the prototype, and it seemed as if a camera department representative was waiting for him.

- The crystal patent material we applied yesterday. Our department also used it to reduce electrostatic interference, but the temperature does not drop.

- I think there's a slight play between the parts and friction. We may need some supplies to fill up the space. Oh, the lower the temperature, the better?

It affects camera quality a lot.

- You might want to add some lubricant. I'll call the base material center and get the materials.

- Thank you for that!

A member of the AP department was attached to it.

- Starting in the morning, we are working with the display to continue testing the VGA chip load operation. The display will not react shortly if you power it up at the same time. I was wondering if it was about us or the display or if you wanted to know.

- Let me take a look.

The young man cast a sparkling gaze at K3, which was assembling on the table.

There's a molecule on our display that evenly distributes power among the new elements. I don't think they're just spreading power on the VGA chip.

- There's a tunnel on the junction? If Jenner surrenders, we have no choice but to put ESD protection back in. Whew, just ours.

- I don't know the technical concept, but if the electron tangles and spins around like a wing... I think we need to add an ionic blocking catalyst.

- Are you sure?

- Anywhere.

A young man who simply smiles and answers with numerous staff members begging for help.

The two executives realized that. That's the young man we've been waiting for.

“The alien · · ·”

“That Superman · · ·”

The muttering eyes of the two executives crossed.

Jungwoo was curious to see K3 in the form of a frozen cell phone, added to the case.

How many chemical reactions are there in that little machine? ’

It was new for Jungwoo to focus only on the engineering results of highly chemical things.

“Power on. ”

Watchers swallowed by Gukdo Castle's words.

The performance of the parts and the chemistry involved in each of them, the way people cry and laugh. I don't mean to be rude, but a few days ago, a pleasant atmosphere was created.

‘Everyone's an expert, so it's fun to assemble. ’

Jungwoo came to rescue the seniors from the sinking ship, but now he feels like he's punching a hole in the boat hard with the other sailors.

Tiering.

As the logo appeared on the light display, the outline looked at the measurement monitor.

“Your boot speed is slower than it was yesterday. UI response is normal. ”

Running apps, turning them off, and testing wifi and LTE network connection speeds all surprised and somewhat expected results.

“Now that we've assembled the case, let's look at the dust resistant rating. ”

A dusty bin filled with K3 prototype. Turning the pan, the white powder spread in the barrel. However, the display continued to export the video.

“I'm just going to pass Grade 6 Dust. Jin Il, bring the water bath. ”

Prototype fell into a water bath at 1m depth.

“Put pressure on it. ”

Following the water spray test, the cell phone survived to a temporary immersion, continuous immersion system.

“Stop. After the 8th grade, it's a military spec, so let's test it separately. ”

The IP68 ratings made people's faces brighter with a very simple clarity.

- Crazy, endless screen, good performance, even sturdy.

- How long does the battery last? I've never seen a cell phone so perfect in any way.

- We do this.

- Yeah. Later.

"This is the end of today's prototype pairing check, and we will also do this by the second blind test, so if there are any improvements, please submit them by Monday morning. ”

At the end of Kwak Do-Seong's remarks, one person stepped forward when the test on Friday was over.

“Only the director of the PR department is Yoon. ”

A man in his early fifties looked at everyone and said,

“I'm sorry, but I don't know if anybody saw the economy this morning. It was full of bad reviews from experts who predicted K3 would fail. ”

The nightmare immediately after the first blind test, people's faces darkened in an instant.

“I'm here to solve it. At first, I thought about how to marinate it with virtually no benefits and then sprinkle it on the press. ”

Yoon Sang-man's gaze was toward the prototype placed on the rack.

“But when I saw K3, I couldn't keep my mouth shut. I wanted one regardless of design faults. ”

Cheers came from all over the place in the positive reviews of the executive. However, the shout died as soon as it followed.

“The problem is that the average consumer can't scrutinize the testing process, analyze comparisons, and experience the pros and cons like me. Advertising the fact that it is the best smartphone in the generation is not enough. The image of the K-Series that has already fallen to the ground has to fall behind the flagship of the competition, the Astro series. ”

“Don't you mean it's certain? This is how we improved it?”

“I didn't say it was a confirmation. I saw the possibility here today. ”

Yun Sang-man turns his head and sweeps through the people.

“What happened here today, yesterday, this week. I love this story. ”

Then I saw Jungwoo standing in a gap.

“Researcher Lim Wu. ”

Jung listened quietly and listened to the call of the executive.

“Yes?”

“Can you present the K3 performance announcement at the International Exhibition in Kintex next week? ”

“Me?”

“You can be the savior of Apple's Steve Jobs, which will bring back the worn-out image of the K series all at once. ‘Chemistry innovated K3.’ I'm sure this phrase will make the headlines. ”

I became confused with the unexpected promotion offer.

“Please.”

All of the development teams in the module room also looked at Jungwoo as an assessment face.

“That · · ·”

If I refused here, I was not worried because more than half of them might have to set up a chicken house.

“I'll do anything to help. ”

I packed my luggage in a hurry from the office where Yoon Sang-man was working a little late due to a private meeting with the executive. Then my phone rang and I held it in my hand.

[I'm waiting in front of Jun Chi. Kim Tae-san is coming too.]

It was a text from Song Bo-young.

After a long time, I got on the elevator excited to spend the evening with the researchers at the Center for Materials Science.

Ding-dong.

About the time I passed the sixth floor, the elevator stopped. And then came a man in his mid-50s who was in a very fancy suit.

Jung felt like a high-ranking person for no reason.

The door closed, and the man who was paying attention to Jungwoo on the one hand, picked up his cell phone and whispered.

“Are you in the maintenance room? Yeah, go ahead. ”

The elevator going down in one piece is shaking steadily.

The elevator stops where Jungwoo should never stop, causing his eyes to roll.

“What?”

I hit the close button and the first floor button to see if it was a temporary error.

The man lowered his cell phone and turned around to look at Jung.

“Don't be surprised. I stopped the elevator for a while. ”

Jungwoo should have doubted his ears.

“What did you say · ·”

“Greetings. I'm Herr Direktor of the KG Electronics Television Business. ”

“You're the boss? No, why would an elevator be healthy?"

“The chief said you'd listen to him properly. ”

As soon as I set up the answers of Jeon Hun's director who had no idea what misconceptions I was doing from where and how I was doing wrong, my words became blocked.

Kim Jung-won, a senior security team who was watching the people coming home from work, naturally turned his head to the noisy voices heard from the elevator.

- How could I not? TV businesses are treated differently.

- I'm in the middle of an assignment. Another assignment? This is a little weird for you, isn't it?

- Hey, man.

- I've told you what I think. There are people waiting outside.

The one who walks in with greetings was a confined Wu who was getting a good four year security search every time. The man standing there was an executive of a very high rank, above the authority of the security team.

“Jungwoo. Just a moment. Just do me a favor.”

“I don't know what time it will be next week. If you're not going to be a part of the K3 study, I'll consider it. ”

The executive exclaimed, solemnly, solemnly and seriously, toward Jungwoo.

“Nice!”

Jungwoo, who placed the luggage on the search bar, met Kim Joong-won.

“That's right, Chief Security. ”

Jungwoo proudly took out a handheld machine that looked like an old radio on Juju Island from his bag.

“Ta-da. Technically, it's not perfect, but it's chemically perfect. ”

“What's that? ”

“Nano sensors for picking up spies with internal documents? ”

Jungwoo, who was trying to unpack something that looked like an antenna, stretched out how to use it while the bag was passing through the search station.

“If you stop the spill with this, you shoot me. ”

Jungwoo placed the detector on the table next to Joong-won Kim's shoulder.

“Have a good weekend. ”

Kim Jung-won smiled as he watched Jungwoo walking out of the company cheerfully.

There was. An engineer who makes useless machines.

“No. Are you a chemist? ”
