Chemistry

* * *

Monday after the 2nd week of sending to the terminal laboratory.

Jungwoo stepped inside with a card at the entrance. It was because the key K3 development personnel were standing in a line beyond the security checkpoint. Everyone looks pale and frizzy, like zombies, for two whole weekends.

One of them, Director Nam Suk-hyun, ICT, approached Jungwoo.

“Are you here now? ”

“Did you wait for me? ”

“An electrostatic discharge compatibility test is urgent before the secondary blinds. We replaced most of the chips over the weekend. ”

In the eyes of the other chief, Hyo-young Park from the UMB department received Jungwoo's bag. An AP department representative searched Jungwoo's entire body with a portable scanner before the security guard even approached.

“Make it quick, we need to confirm the parts design before 11: 00. ”

Chief Park asked Senior Kim Jung-won to put the bag in the search bar.

Jungwoo looks down at Kim Jung-won as he passes through the search party faster than usual.

“Good ah · ·”

“Mr. Jungwoo! This way!”

The camera department officer gives you a glance and runs straight after the scream in the elevator.

Song Dong-woo, director of the Terminal Research Institute, was surprised when he handed over last week's development report from the K3 team scheduled for the death penalty.

“Chief Guk. You used up the entire research budget that was left in all the departments? ”

“I've seen a lot of performance improvement experiments. ”

“Even if you cut your research costs in half, have you lost your mind as a group on a hat board? ”

The modular team responded with a bitter smile.

“It's really minimal compared to improved performance. ”

“Come on now, you're pretending to enjoy some rich movie. Let's die quietly. I've tried hard enough in three years. ”

When K3 failed, it was a complaint that would be ranked first, so it was quite sensitive to the report.

“What? Why do you need an extra budget? ”

The warden, who passed on the next chapter, lost his words and looked at Kwak Do-Seong.

“Does this sound like you're asking for more money? Are you trying to get out of here before they're all dead? ”

“To reflect the new process and design parts, it is essential. We also have to make 50 pieces for Friday's IFA. ”

“IFA? You're suddenly running K3 for Kintex? What are you getting yourself into? You didn't have a plan.”

“Only Yoon-soo from the PR team was strongly promoted. ”

“Mr. Yoon is asking me to save his life after all. ”

The Complainant pushed the report as if there was nothing to see.

“I don't need them all. There should be no more spending. If I get as many K3 team members into this mess as I can, I'll be able to save them. Let's just keep it that way until this month. ”

Kwak Do-Seong, who once again held the document file in his hand, said to the warden, "Stand down."

“Collect parts today and enter the 2nd Blind. I'll come back tomorrow with the results. ”

“Come or leave. ”

Kwak Do-Seong, who lowered his waist, walked out of the wardrobe. Im Jin-il, who was waiting by the door, asked straight away.

“You're very articulate. You refuse, right?”

“We haven't done anything right yet. ”

“Blinds better be good. ”

Heading to the module room, the outline asked.

“What's everybody doing? ”

“We are checking compatibility with Mr. Limit Woo. ”

“Is it raining again today? ”

“Especially more chaotic. It's gonna hurt, it's gonna hurt. ”

In the module room.

Jungwoo should have kept his own display research to himself and reviewed the electrostatic discharge with each department representative throughout the morning.

“Here's the part. We need to apply more C-crystals to the IC circuits to bypass the instantaneous overvoltage. ”

The team members of the AP were busy locating one part with the micro tweezers.

“Here. The voltage is temporarily high and very unstable. ”

Pointing to the gap between the capacitor and the interface terminal, the mainboard team quickly recorded the part information.

Kwak Do-Seong confirmed the time when it was almost 11 o'clock and opened his mouth.

“Finish up now. I have to work now so I can keep up with the actual test time in the evening. ”

The people gathered around you roar out of the sound.

Jung Woo was stuck in the molecular world for three hours, and then he raised his head. I felt my bones spinning, so I pressed my eyebrows.

“Jungwoo. Here, water. ”

“Thank you, sunbae. ”

Song Bo-young swallowed a cup of water and shook her head. During the electrostatic test, I was distracted by the dust stars that were gathering around me. They can't wait to dance when they get a chance.

After closing my eyes, Jung woke up and asked Bo-young Song.

“What about multilayered thin film deposition? ”

“Batteries are everywhere, so don't worry. You've been talking to me the whole time. ”

“Still · ·"

Song Bo-young, who was holding the glass of water that Jungwoo drank, flinched. It was precisely because the static electricity was going up.

“Ow.”

“These guys are all over the place. ”

Song Bo-young, who bit her hand into her mouth and frowned, turned to Jungwoo.

“Ugh. Jungwoo, what did you just say? ”

Jung, who had unknowingly insulted the dust, stood up with this question. It was useless to say that I was barely getting out of the deep molecular world.

“Aren't there a lot of people in the break room? ”

“There weren't many back there. ”

“I'll go and rest for 10 minutes. Please call me when you come. ”

Jung sees all the dust stars disappearing from his sight and steps out.

Jiaying.

When the text came, it was a dinner.

[Do you have time tomorrow night?]

I pressed the call button.

“Yes. Dinner. It's me."

- Aren't you working hours?

“I'm resting. What's happening tomorrow? ”

- Let's go see Joon. They also want to discuss the video site channel issue. You're gonna be busy on weekends.

He replied that he wanted to have a beer with a friend for a while, and added a word.

“You owe me your life, so shoot me. ”

- He could go into a big corporation and rip his friends off. That's fine with our Jung.

“That's right. What did you use? ”

It's V iron. Phew.

Thinking about what kind of model it was, Jungwoo realized that it was a ruined company cell phone that had come out much more than 5 years ago.

I tried to ask what the K series image looked like, but it didn't seem to be a reference because it was a different taste.

“Got it. Let's pay. ”

Why does that sound so disrespectful?

“I heard you right. ”

- Hey, it's a luxury. I can't save her because I don't have her.

“You can't save the company because it's gone. ”

- You don't know V iron? The big actor advertised it. Hmm-hmm.

The voice of applause followed.

- If you have a soul on your phone, courage and steel that are not afraid of water fire. Let's face it, V iron.

“I'm hanging up.”

That afternoon.

After finishing all the bonding of K3, the outline wiped the exterior of the fingerprint and stored it in a box. The model name was swallowed by those who were watching the box without writing it down.

“I'll be back at headquarters. ”

I didn't know that people's gaze would leave the box until Gukdo Seong left the hallway.

“Will it work? ”

“Good luck. You can't fry chickens at this age and deliver motorcycles. ”

“You said you had a coffee shop last week. ”

“There were too many of them in my town. ”

“Does that mean there aren't enough chicken houses? ”

“That's right. ”

Last week, a string of hope miraculously led to the appearance of a chemist. Everything depends on the results of the blind test that will take place for real users at HQ.

As Kwak Do-Seong disappeared from view, everyone's gaze turned to Jungwoo. Jungwoo, who was packing his bag, stopped.

“I'm going to go home now, but can I ask you something else? ”

“No, no, no. ”

“Rest well, Jungwoo. ”

Jungwoo went out under extreme escort.

The remaining K3 team members exchanged their gazes with each other. The performance competition that had gone so badly to get relief turned into collaboration, and I worked hard enough to vomit blood from the weekend to today.

“That's odd.”

“I see.”

“We'll see you tomorrow. ”

Hopefully the results were good and the K3 team members were also scattered to each other's departments to prepare for 4 days of work.

Tuesday.

K3 representatives who came to work early in the morning sat in the modular room and waited for Kwak Do-Seong to appear.

Soon, I took one of the envelopes and went into the module room.

“Chief Guk! How did it go?”

“What's the score?"

Kwak Dosung took the scorecard out of the envelope and placed it on the table. Everyone was interested in real user testimonials and simple scores.

[This is model 7 quality shit. 8.9/10]

[Five hours in the App Pool and a battery attached. Look at the level of deformation. 9.1/10]

[What? UI response rate is different. 9.5/10]

[When will Model 7 be released? 10/10]

Scores were significant, even though they included third-party top models. Also in the next chapter, blind test results from professional reviewers.

[Astro 7 from Hansung won the highest ever score of 'Accelerant A +’ by beating his existing record in the American Display Quality Assessment. But this smartphone is at least four generations superior.]

[It will definitely be the best choice for existing smartphones. What kind of company can make a device so timeless? Do you have a Google attack? Microsoft's Counter?]

Director Nam Suk-hyun of ICT, who was looking at the blank scorecard, read all the reviews and raised his head. It was a surprising result, and I had a hollow smile.

“Ha, ha, ha. No offense, Chief Guo. You didn't type this, did you? ”

“Are you crazy? Get yourself expelled. ”

As a result of the unbelievable report, the entire development team was impressed and unable to speak for a while.

General Sun Dong-woo held the warm test results that Chief Kwak just brought and grew as big as his eyes.

“Are you talking about K3? Is it seven of us? ”

“That's right.”

The warden, who put down the document, looked at Kwak Do-Seong.

“Did I say restricted rains? How could one more researcher do this? ”

Kwak Do-Seong detailed the development situation last week, which he did not talk about yesterday.

Limited options make the display more spectacular. In addition, the battery efficiency increased, increasing the available power for all parts, and the advancement of additional electrostatic discharge technology in patented materials rapidly improved overall performance.

The warden was amazed.

“Development can't be like this, what's so dramatic? ”

“That's what the PR team has also emphasized. I dedicated the presentation to Lim Woo at IFA. ”

“This · · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

In the eyes of the small intestine, there was a light of hope that said, "I think there is a possibility." Kwak Do-Seong smiled deeply because he also saw that look in the K3 developers who gathered in the module room.

“How many finished products did you say you will produce? ”

“There will be 50. ”

“I approve an additional budget. Make 51. ”

“51? One · · · · · · · · ·? ”

“You can try it before it's released, because it's named after the terminal laboratory. Memory is 256GB. ”

“256 unit price · · · · · · · ·. ”

“Oops!”

The warden cut off Gwak Do-Seong's words with a clear-headed cough and signed the document. Kwak Do-Seong went out with the finished paperwork in his hand.

The second blinds' acclaim has enabled us to work at full scale. Moreover, I can see the word "success."

“Chief."

Im Jin's days waiting outside were numbered.

“What happened? ”

Kwak Dosung listened to the documents with the signature of the small intestine.

“Finally!”

Jungwoo, sitting in the Display Development Room, chemically unraveling the LED device, turned his head to Dr. Naehen, who was whistling from the other side, and was working from morning to morning on the results of the second test.

“Jungwoo, why? ”

Above the main panel, I saw Naiheon Jungwoo, who stopped his hand while weaving the diode structure.

“No, work. ”

“Son, it's so fresh. Tell me if it's hard to write a report. I'll write it for you. ”

“This simple task has to be the last. ”

Turning his head, he saw Dr. Dongmunjae making an organic layer with solution application on the new display. He also opened his mouth without leaving a smile on his face.

“Jungwoo, you have to let go of that bias. Lee Heon asked me to do the enclosure with you. ”

“I'm fine.”

“I'm not okay. ”

Han Kyungsoo, who was demonstrating the light-emitting layer deposition technique to Song Bo-young, intervened in this conversation.

“Jungwoo isn't the time to help you study Moon Jae. You're the one who's helping me study friendship. ”

“That's always the case. Jungwoo, do you want it? ”

Jungwoo even moved the formula he had identified to the molecular world to his laptop and turned his head.

“I'll ask for help when I'm done with light-emitting elements. ”

“There you go."

The clock on the wall pointed to 4: 55.

Hangyeong-soo takes his hand off the sealed container.

“The other departments are having a gathering today. Shall we? ”

“I don't even remember the occasion. ”

“Moon Jae, you probably didn't. ”

Jungwoo looked sorry, covering his laptop.

“I have an appointment. They're already here. ”

“Promise? Lover? ”

“No, just a friend. ”

“Then let's get our party back to the center and settle down. Five minutes left. Everyone go home!”

Hangyeongsu stood up after tidying up neatly.
