Chemistry

< 23. Into the Wild (8) >

Jungwoo walks in front of cristina, the new company, pointing to the one where the sound waves resonate like bombs.

Noisy Bugs Over there

Speaking of which, the waveform seemed clear, but I stopped because I couldn't hear the sound. Sound waves reaching 500 kHz outside the human audible range of 20 kHz.

"There's a noisy beetle.

Zbe and Eduard clap their hands as they look around the tree for a long time.

Eduard. Is this a leaf vase? Even predators can't find what they're looking for because of color. Mr. Han looks like a ghost.

Yes, the Harvard Museum of Comparative Zoology expedition wasn't this bad either.

In response, the leading cristina pressed the recorder button and asked.

Have you been actively exploring the ecology regularly?

It's like · · · · feeling. I didn't know it, but it's alive in front of nature.

I didn't really have anything to say, so I blurted. Zbe slaps Jungwoo on the shoulder with a big smile.

A feeling from heaven. as if you were born to explore ecology.

There is someone who also sounds like Korea.

Really?

The place where we moved for more than 20 minutes from TP3 was the place where the clear floor was exposed as Cristina said.

Jungwoo slowly looks around and looks through the water with molecular vision.

The aromatic interior of the giant albidacacia tree covered the sky like a roof, and the natural spring water blended with the underbelly of the potato bush and the acid-shaped palm tree roots were among the most inorganic components.

Wow · · · · · · · · ·.

Cristina walked to the side of Jungwoo, who was exhaling momentum.

Are you looking for me?

Probably.

So you can make salty sea water from the same spring as this? Chemically Imitated

Yes. 99.99%.

What is the remaining 0.01%?

It's virtue.

After taking out the bottle and collecting a small amount of floating leaves, nearby grassroots, and bushes containing water, I stood up with a satisfied smile.

If it's too similar, the originality of this place will disappear. The Macondae back there? because if you turn on the capital that passes in front of the village during adult festivals and you drink it, it's completely devoid of flavor.

Cristina smiles and thinks, "I can, but I can't."

Will you explore not only Mozambique but also other countries in this way?

There will be differences in the environment, but I would rarely do so?

Cristina felt much more captivating about the limited edition coverage of observing vivid nature and explaining it in unique chemical logic than about the ecosystem focus that Brad was preparing for as a year-end feature.

Seven more places at TP4, four more at TP5, and Jungwoo and Chaebol's bag became quite bulky.

Jung, who felt as full as a sample, arrived at Camp Chitengo near Lake Urema, singing a nostril.

Intermediate and minor coursers also joined the camp after completing their expeditions.

After a brief meal prepared by the host, night exploration began. Due to the nearby floodplain and plains, participants' satisfaction was higher than during the day, although the movement was extremely limited because it was a place where thousands of animals could be viewed without being bored.

Jungwoo sat down on a wide branch and yawned a lot. And I opened the notebook, which had no more room to use.

The BBC reporter followed you around a little too much, didn't he? ’

At TP4, French university students who mixed their words briefly watched this note and became depressed, sitting still from then on.

Mr. Han. Are you sure you don't want to leave?

With the flashlight in hand, you nod your head in response to Professor Zbe's question.

Yes, I'm tired.

There are quite a few undiscovered species of nocturnal insects in the area, although no one has followed their findings.

I'll leave that to the participants next year.

I left with a glimpse of Zbe's regret.

Seeing the sleeping water underneath the tree, Jungwoo feels like she needs to make eye contact. She also has lost stamina in a 12-hour hike.

Cheers.

- Jungwoo. Are you there?

After hearing a voice from the radio I had in my bag, Kaya, who was lying on the other branch, leaps forward, holding it in her hand, and climbs up to the side of Jungwoo.

"Thank you."

Kaya frowned and fainted, then approached the fallen water and covered the blanket with a thermostat blanket.

“Only woo.”

- It's Joo-ha, I got a call suddenly. A government official covering Mozambique's freshwater business is coming tomorrow morning to check on the water supply needs.

It was too sudden tomorrow because I was anticipating and preparing to meet a few days later. Eugene Chemical's plumbing and filtering operations were irrelevant, so there was no need to be hasty.

“You didn't say anything about filters? ”

- Not like that.

My heart trembled as I sat down to set the voice of Joo Joon.

- Looks like a Su-ez lobbyist got in today. He's coming with us tomorrow.

It was another problem for the competitor to get the work done.

“Wait a minute, let me ask if I can move now. ”

Jungwoo realized that the fire had fallen on his foot, then came down from the branch and ran to the foreman and the eco-management director who was sitting on the watchtower.

Director!

What brings you here?

Is there any way to get to Gate 1 directly from here?

Right now? Night long distance travel is individually impossible.

What can I do? I'll pay you well.

Tonga asked Jungwoo who had become a serious figure.

You may not use the emergency vehicle unless there is a valid reason for such injury. For what reason?

If I'm wrong, the Maconde tribe youth will be drinking soulless water made by Suez Company. Instead of the scent of flowers from Albida Acacia Trees, it was filled with only the stench of perchloric acid. I can't do that.

A young man from the Makonde tribe on the Wind Gust, who was on the other side of the watchtower, Hudir said, "What? ’I looked at Jungwoo with my face.

Tonga laughed as she watched the young Asian man say the same crazy things yesterday.

Among the snacks I packed for overnight, Tonga tore out a banana.

Eat this while you wait.

Yes?

Jungwoo smiled at me with a ripe banana in his hand.

Hudir. Bring the Safari Tea to the entrance. There's a group here. Are they all going?

With Tonga's permission, Jung Woo's expression lit up.

Jungwoo, who was sitting in a safari truck that had converted his luggage into a seat, picked up the radio and contacted Hana.

“It will take about 40 minutes. First, tell Joon-suk Lee to prepare for the weapons compound combination experiment, and tell him to take all the filter samples he brought and put them next to him. ”

A man with a moustache climbs up the back seat trying to finish his call.

"Ugh, I'm going to die.

I felt sorry for him because he looked very sick because his face was swollen all over.

‘Those are the teeth marks on the godmother's back. That's a lot of blood. ’

Strange insect names came to mind immediately, thanks to Professor Zbe who gave me information in a unique rhythmic tone whenever I found it.

A fellow who has been supporting you asks as you look at the mustache man.

Director Brad. Are you sure you want to be alone?

Do you think I'm your girlfriend? Come back with a good sunrise shot. Leave the participant interviews to Tina. Check out this damn park again.

Brad smiled bitterly at the gentle tone of the British gentleman about the insects that took his blood.

“Senior Jungwoo. I've got everything.”

“Oh, well done. ”

Cha Seong-soo sat next to me with his bag loaded. He looked stunned as if he had just woken up. The driver's Tonga turned his head as he loaded up to Kaya.

Here we go. Hold on tight to the safety pole.

The truck begins to move along the dark dirt road.

How long have they been moving?

Jungwoo, who was looking at the lively Milky Way not seen in Korea's night sky, held the safety guards firmly as the truck stepped on the brakes.

Ducky!

The sleeping neighbour and Brad look up in surprise.

“What the hell!”

“What the...”

Tonga pointed to the front of the surprised passengers.

A tree has fallen. I think we should clean it up and move on.

Jungwoo's movements hardened as if he had seen it somewhere for a moment.

‘No way.'

As you look around you in infrared vision, you see an elephant larger than a truck in the middle of the forest.

Director, I think there's an elephant over there.

What?

Tonga looked at Jungwoo's face. It was no joke at all. Following Zbe's critique, the young man was the god of Bioblitz, who discovered over 400 species in 12 hours.

Turning off the engine immediately, Tonga narrows her eyes in the direction Jungwoo pointed.

Where? I don't see it. I can't hear them.

It's 200 meters away. I'm a good smeller, so I'm sure it's accurate.

Please help me move the tree first.

Tonga got out of the car and walked to the tree in front of her.

After stepping down to Jungwoo, Cha Seo, and Kaya, Brad opened his eyes and pretended to sleep again, burying his head next to the chair.

Director, why do they break so many healthy trees?

If there are no leaves at the bottom, they often break and eat the leaves at the top. The fever tree is a specialty of theirs, especially. But I don't know why I pushed you all this way.

Jung, who pushed the tree out to the side together, felt something sticky at his fingertips and bowed his head.

The truck's headlight gives you a glimpse of the liquid.

What is this? A protein or an insect carcass? ’

I was curious about the chemical phenomenon that appeared throughout the broken heating tree, including the warm liquid that opened my eyes once.

After clearing all the trees, Jung, who was following the reaction flow and turning his eyes around, glittered at the reaction that followed in the bush covered the floor.

Pow!

At that moment, an elephant appeared behind the road with a threatening cry.

“Senior Jungwoo! He's coming!”

Cha Seong called Jung urgently.

Jungwoo grabs something in the bush and climbs on the back of the truck.

Tonga starts, confirming they're all on board.

As Brad pretends to be asleep, he sees the elephant rushing in, screaming at the pig's throat. As the thump draws closer, the truck slowly speeds up.

The anomaly sees the processed ivory teeth against the red brake and slumps over the seat.

Mr. Tea?

I fell on Kaya's knee, but I was already unconscious and didn't notice.

Tonga glances at the passenger seat, judging by the speed of the truck as the elephant sprints. Shotgun is under your seat. I couldn't get it out while driving, so I called the back for help.

Someone get out the gun below!

Kaya pulls out a shotgun after buying a seat. With bullets rolling around so familiar, she snaps, loads them with one hand, and sticks them out to Tonga.

Hey, can you shoot me while I'm driving?

Tonga looks over the boulder barrier on one side of the narrow road and sees Kaya.

You said you were Mr. Han's survivalist, right? Do you drive well? Do you shoot well?

Both.

The convertible Safari car is 40 miles high. We can't even maintain it because of the road conditions. Driving was a sentence that the person who knew the way had to be right.

Shoot into the sky as he approaches. We'll get away with it.

The sound of the ground rumbling pierces through the truck's engines. Kaya, who jumped again, measured the distance from the elephant near the back seat. Approximately 20 meters. This should be a warning shot.

Kaya, don't shoot.

At that moment, a calm voice that didn't fit at all with this urgency dug Kaya's ears. Brad looks at you in horror, agitated.

What are you talking about? We're all gonna die!

You need to get a little closer to sprinkle this.

In Jungwoo's words, holding something with both hands, Kaya lowers her shotgun toward the air. Brad shakes his hand at the elephant, his eyes widening.

Shoot! Go!

Regardless of Brad's screams, Kaya listens faithfully to the employer.

Elephant approaching 10 meters.

The truck trembles severely through the recesses. The elephant approaches the melee due to the slowdown.

Brad shifts to the front seat as he gets a whiff of his nose.

‘All right, that's enough. Get out of the street. ’

Jungwoo scattered something in his hand that had become a piece of sap. The elephant with the sap splattered out to the size of the dust by lightning stops.

When it seemed like the elephant's eyes were as calm as expected, Jung said, "Whoa, now go back.” I muttered.

The elephant, who raised his whip nose to the distance in his hand, stopped walking like a lie.

Kaya pointed to the elephant that was suddenly getting away and asked Jungwoo.

What did you ask for?

"An caterpillar. The larvae of the black butterfly who sacrificed his body, mourning for the parsnip worm.

Employer's answer, whether serious or joking, in a pleasant tone. Kaya shakes her head as if she couldn't stop it. Then she takes the shotgun back to her passenger seat.

The elephant has stopped.

Tonga nods with an unsurprised face as she looks at the situation through the side mirror. And I kept watching Jung Woo.

Brad, who was lowering his gaze, pushes the stunned differential aside, as if it were terrifying to lean against.

Why did that frenzied kid suddenly become a gentle sheep?

I fixed a fire in my stomach.

Sitting in the back seat, Brad looked at Jungwoo, who opened his hands, and asked because he felt the journalist's touch.

How? Is yesterday's commotion the same thing?

I think so, but I need a complicated explanation.

Jung shuns Brad's gaze as he spits.

"Hey, I'm here, but I've been walking around for 10 years. Do you think there's some principle in the wild that I don't understand?

I don't know that, but you don't know it very well.

What?

"I'm tired, so I don't want to rob my mouth for free. If you just want to get situational advice, formally request an interview. It's the BBC of the century, and you have to pay a lot of money for advice.

Brad looks at the sun in embarrassment.

You · · ·

By the way, I don't move around with a dime or two.

Talking like this, Brad nods, puffier than a puffy face.

When I arrived in front of the 'Gate 1' administration office, Lee Jun Ik was meeting me.

Jung, who was unloaded from the truck, handed him two bags full of collected samples.

“Please refrigerate everything at the mobile lab. I'm gonna go up and talk to the Director for a minute. ”

Jungwoo approached Tonga.

Director, it's the forest · · · · · · · · · · ·.

I continued to explain the chemical principles that unfolded in the molecular world that I saw earlier.

Certain plant species in the forest where the herd of elephants lived had highly effective chemicals to protect them from herbivores.

Although not toxic in the dark, it is a photoactive substance that is highly toxic when exposed to the sun. It spreads throughout the forest, spreading on leaves.

However, some insects, particularly parsnip insects, were grazing with physiological defense mechanisms that neutralize these toxic substances.

· · This photoactive toxin has the name Soralene and Xanthotoxin. It shouldn't be that hard to get the antidote. It'll be easy to build a chemical company. Or you can collect this caterpillar and sprinkle it with finely ground liquids. Oh, I'll make you a two- or three-day slap when you're done tomorrow.

What an amazing story.

Tonga points to the mustache reporter who looks at her with his eyes wide open.

Can I give you some free advice on how to get paid to sell to the BBC Press Director?

It's not free. You had a banana earlier. The imported bananas I had in Korea were fake, fake.

Jung, who looks dazzled, smiled lightly.

And this is not how I found it. Earlier, those elephants knew that this caterpillar was effective.

An elephant?

He rolled a broken tree into the grass and buried a bunch of caterpillars. It's a very simple solution, not complicated. I just ate too much of Soralen's leaves to avoid addiction. I didn't expect to learn anything from an elephant as a chemist.

HyeAn, a young Asian man who sensed the chemical flow in the natural world, was so ashamed of Tonga, who had been the Director of Ecological Management for so long.

I have to work now.

Thank you, Mr. Limit Woo.

You're welcome

Jungwoo bowed his head and ran to the mobile lab.

Tsk...

Jungwoo, lying on his desk at the mobile lab, opened his eyes.

Beyond the traces of the overnight labs, I saw a filter on my left hand and the sad face of Chief Min Dong-gun with a water bottle in his right hand.

Beevik, Lee Jun-ik, with the tray with the door open, got on the bus.

“Are you awake?”

When Lee Joon-Ik put the coffee and bread next to him, Jung thanked him and finished the breakfast. One week later, Hana told me that the manager would arrive in 10 minutes.

Jungwoo went out while practicing his Swahili greeting, realizing that his clothes were exactly as he had gone on the ecological expedition yesterday.

I wore pants on an okay white shirt, finished washing with water stored in the campground water tank, and returned to the mobile lab.

At 9 am, a car stopped in the parking lot in front of the base camp. Two black men walked out of the back seat.

Hana, who was waiting, approached and greeted.

Welcome, Deputy Director.

Jungwoo, who was looking outside the mobile lab, recalled the information he had heard earlier.

The manager's name is Ibrahim. Deputy Director of Mozambique Water Management.

"The old one will be the deputy director. That young man... ’

Suez 'lobbyist in a stylish suit didn't seem willing to leave his side, even as he and Deputy Director Zhuhana were having a conversation.

Would you like to go in and check the cost?

I will.

The two of them walked to the mobile lab as a guide to the Lord.

Chiik, the front door of the bus is open.

The deputy director was already confident, but the lobbyist was stunned by the spectacular interior facilities.

Rumor has it Eugene Chemical's research facility looks different. He's a monopoly on plumbing.

It's a compliment.

Since Johanna agreed to introduce me naturally when she finished the report, I waited quietly in front of the lab. In the meantime, I keep hearing the lobbyist's voice.

We know a little bit about the urban cleanup business, but the management skills here are excellent. There's a lot to follow.

A compliment that was neither lacking nor excessive, and the lobbyist's attitude to keep a soft smile on his mouth consistently seemed to show a textbook that favored without any pressure.

As you know, Suez is involved in the Namibian sewer business. The complex process of installing new pipes in place of old pipes can be assisted by Suez.

You can even present them with an appropriate negotiation card that they might find offensive.

In a country called the United States, Africans and African-Americans ascended to the President. Racial phenomena. I think the prejudice and the error of looking at the black continent, as Wallet Soingka said, should now be lifted.

It was also a political quote.

Jungwoo sits at a distance, watching all the sights and thinking that he is an unsettled opponent.

Abraham nods and looks back at Jung Woo as he listens.

Main Team Leader. He's the last person I saw.

"Ah, Senior Researcher Jungwoo is in charge of the Eugene Chemical Corrosion Analysis. He found the problem with the pipes here.

Aha.

Jung got up from his seat and bowed his head. And I turned my attention to the Gorongsa special filter, which was made through the transparent glass wall of the liver lab overnight.

Cultural knowledge, praise and negotiation skills may be pushed by that lobbyist, but they can overcome any filter. So you don't have to lose confidence before you start.

Jung reached out to the deputy director and asked him to shake his hand politely.

Make the introduction official. I am Senior Advisor to Eugene Chemicals and Head of KG Chemistry, who will filter out Suez.

The expression of the lobbyist on Suez's side changed as he gently glanced at her.

Jungwoo reaches out to the lobbyist.

Nice to meet you.

What a surprise! I'm Teddy. Wait, KG Chemistry? If it's KG chemistry.

In an unusual atmosphere, Teddy fires a preemptive strike.

Yes, you're the small-scale company that Suez took over the Egyptian business of giving up on Mozambique? Has it been five years?

I remembered the quote I heard earlier about Teddy pointing out the weak spots.

Just now, a racial anomaly. What about the bias of the Black Continent?

Why is that?

I'd like to quote a black man. Was it Tyson?

Jungwoo smiled and said.

Everyone gets into the ring with a plausible plan. Not until I get my ass kicked.
