Chemistry

< 23. Into the Wild (9) >

Chiik...

Jung opened the door of the lab and brought the deputy director of the Department of Water Management inside.

Teddy looked at me with a glance to see how great a punch I had prepared beyond the window rather than chewing on the words I had prepared overnight.

‘I think you're angry. ’

The lobbyist's refined manners were also useless in front of the Korean end.

Jungwoo told the deputy director while he was looking at the experimental equipment.

Our KG chemistry's fundamental approach to desalination is to make tailored water, the same as the water that already exists in that country.

Tailored Water?

These are springs collected from the source site at the summit of Gorongsa 1,500 meters. There were more, but it was finalized with 15 unique ones.

Jungwoo lifted one of the transparent bottles separated by the label followed by an explanation, looking at the molecular structure in the water.

"The spring on the eastern and western slopes was the spring where baboons used to come and drink. I think I saw about 20 of them while I was harvesting. The aroma of red figs and peacock sardines was thick, but Professor Zbe said that he likes this spring because it's a vegetarian species.

I opened the lid and gave it to the deputy director, who held the scent in his hand. I was a little surprised when I smelled the hazy flowers.

Jungwoo raises another bottle.

A sample from a meadow at 1,700 meters above sea level. If you look inside the bottle, it's Promiopias Sylvestre.

Pro · · · ·?

It can be a little difficult to pronounce, but it's a rare species called termite hunter ants. Only 20 samples have been collected worldwide. Professor Zbe asked me for this whole thing. Oh, that's not the point. There were as many termites as there were rare species that ate ants. And the water was infused with the scent of tree bark, which is the stock of termites.

He told the deputy director of the deputy warden who took the disease and carefully examined the rare species that the ant was worth $30,000. In fact, it is the most expensive water in the world.

Ants, nematodes, fungi, bacteria. These highland springs of ecological circulation with small creatures that move the world seem to be a very precious water source, each with a long history.

Following the unique animals found while collecting the sample and the water narratives related to the surrounding environment, Jungwoo raises the bottle at the end.

And this is the clearest fountain in Gorongsa, where the Makonde people drink when they grow up. First Grade Purified Water.

Referring to the Maconde custom, the deputy director showed a sudden interest.

Are you saying that water is harmless even if you drink it?

Not without it, but in Korea, they would have sold it for a lot of money.

Why did you go around the mountain collecting so many samples?

Jungwoo walked to the table with a long cylindrical reverse osmotic RO filter.

The filtered water is in the same state as the bottomless distilled water. KG chemistry can apply its proprietary technology here to make Mozambique the same as any spring that the Mozambique government wants. even the water that was rinsed with 30,000 dollar ants.

Teddy laughs as he looks outside. Jungwoo turns to Teddy at that moment and asks.

Do you think Mr. Teddy is impossible?

Addition of an artificial compound to pure water, literally through a membrane, does not make it a natural water. But, yes. With cutting-edge science, it's not impossible. But given the cost and time to get there, it doesn't seem like such a waste.

Waste?

Jungwoo asked the deputy director for his understanding while thinking a little.

Deputy Director, I'm going to run a short test. May I bring in an expert from Suez to cross-verify?

Because there would be no more objective answer than the rival's verification, the deputy director agreed, of course.

What about Mr. Teddy?

Do you really want me to verify it?

Yes. Don't you want to?

No way, Teddy smiled and walked inside.

Please select the sample you want. Mr. Teddy.

Let's put it this way.

Teddy chose water with a rare species labeled 12.

Jungwoo, wearing special gloves, opened a drawer-like compound shed on one side of the wall and took out the powder to form the mineral and put it in a beaker.

up to basic minerals such as calcium, potassium, magnesium and trace amounts of minerals such as manganese, zinc and strontium. The composition ratios perfectly matched the components contained in sample # 12 and put them into the Gorongsa special filter.

Producing the same water doesn't mean the process of fresh water is a hassle. You just need to add one filter to the final line, and that's it.

Jungwoo plugged a special cylindrical filter into the end of the filtration system and opened the stopper of the water canister containing seawater that had been airborne in Beira Port in the morning. The smell of the salty sea is palpable.

Here we go.

The funnel connected to the filter has seawater in it. Ascending and descending the glass tubes in parallel, the contaminants and the water undergoing the organic removal process enter the RO filter and become pure water that has been wiped out to sodium ions.

Mr. Teddy must be quite familiar. It's almost a global filtration process.

Teddy nods slightly.

The last part of the stretching filter, the special filter added by Jungwoo, flowed into the water.

Chor.

The beaker contains only transparent final results. Jungwoo picks it up and gives it to Teddy.

Can you smell it on me?

Teddy flinches, actually smelling a subtle bark instead of the smell of sea water. Teddy shakes his head alternately with sample # 12.

Smell alone

Of course, you'll need proof of the exact numbers. Luckily, Eugene Chemical's mobile lab has one of the world's finest substance analysis machines.

As though Jungwoo had waited, the points were handheld and the water passed through the filter and the water of sample # 12 were each put into the test tube and placed in the analyzer.

It takes a little while. About two minutes.

By pressing the button, the comparisons on one monitor began to be recorded.

Analysis showed that the two samples were identical from the amount of dissolved oxygen to the mineral components of more than 70 species.

As an unbelievable result, Teddy is one step closer to the monitor.

Jungwoo found one of the components that came to mind on the monitor.

The carboxylic acid base organic compound here is a mixture of ants. It has a concentration of 5 ppm, so it doesn't have a big impact.

5 ppm means 5 parts per million. Teddy opens his eyes because he can't believe he imitated it.

Nonsense. It doesn't mix chemical additives separately, it just passes through filters.

It's a filter that blends a highly permeable thin film with an interfacial polymerization process. I can't explain it in detail because of patent technology. Maybe you should join me. Would you?

Teddy closes his mouth to the scout proposal.

Jungwoo turned his gaze to the deputy director who had curious eyes. I don't know about the rival, but I need the client to convince me.

"But I will tell you a simple principle, because you still have to judge. When pure water that is squeezed in reverse osmosis enters this filter and mixes with the compound, the concentration increases. And then you meet the Gorongsa Special Ratio, and you get out of the hemisphere. The amount of compound I just added could produce about 20 tons.

After appealing to the competitive tender with an absurd voice, Teddy said as if he was in a state of embarrassment.

"You can't be sure with one experiment," he said, "that I might have chosen this sample for $30,000."

Uh · · · Would I? It's a gamble.

Could be a high level of psychological warfare.

Jungwoo asked Teddy, who could not admit it cleanly.

"Then let's give the deputy director a sample of what he wants.

Of course.

His choice was the clearest water of the Maconde tribe.

Jungwoo, who opened the compound storage, begins to immerse the powder in the beaker. Teddy walked away, looking carefully at his appearance.

Look at this. It's weird just getting the right composition ratio to mix it up.

I'd be disappointed if you saw that. because this is the kind of combination that I use. A very precise hand that weighs on a molecular scale. You're hurting the pride of a professional.

It · · · · · · · · · · · ·.

Teddy turns his eyes to look away and says something blurry.

I think I'm sorry about this part.

It was something that couldn't be done without being able to weigh on a molecular basis, but there was no need to explain it, and Jung continued his work with a smile.

A glass of water like that.

We sampled it with a spoil and turned it into an analyzer and found that it was 99.99% identical.

Teddy lost his horse again, and the deputy director looked at the filter admirably and asked Jungwoo.

Are you sure you can drink this water?

"Yes, you can also see the water quality from the results. It's very healthy water without any harmful microbes.

Then please call my driver.

Driver?

I'm from Maconde.

In the parking lot, a young black man got off the bus.

"Huh?"

Jungwoo imagined a man in a remote area wearing a traditional African outfit with an awkward strap because he said he was a Maconde tribe, smiling in a secular way, wearing an armpit in a clean suit.

‘I don't think so. Even in my country these days, I don't wear hanbok at the holidays. ’

The tribe did not know where the boundaries of tradition and modernization were. The young man swallowed a sip of liquid in a cup that turned from sea water to springs and opened his eyes wide.

Jungwoo spoke in a language that he did not understand between the deputy director and the black youth.

Soon, the deputy director looked at Jungwoo.

"Kunkin Horse, it is blasphemous for a non-elder to draw this water.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Jungwoo bowed his head and apologized to a black young man. The young man looks and fingers carefully, then disappears off the bus. Fortunately, the deputy director was very pleased to see the filter with a smile on his face.

The party misunderstood the water and Teddy did not overcome the curiosity and handed over a sip of purified water to an empty glass.

Oh, my God.

What's the matter?

Teddy takes another sip, passes it slowly, and becomes a worthless face.

I didn't think fresh water would taste this good.

Jungwoo drank a few times in the experiment yesterday, so the water of the Maconde tribe was just not very different from the bottled water. Because of Teddy's muttering to the French language, I had to tilt my head.

· · Delicately salty and slightly bitter aftertaste. How can it taste so thick when it's not ground water coming out of a layer of glacier deposits?

Me, Mr. Teddy. Are you a water sommelier?

When Jungwoo asked in French, Teddy turned his head.

If you think you hit Suez with this, it's a mistake. Freshwater technology may be a little ahead of us, but we · ·

Mr. Han. No, Chief Lim Woo.

Before Teddy can finish speaking, Deputy Director Ibrahim intervenes.

Mozambique Water Authority will support KG chemistry.

As well as a sudden declaration, Teddy's eyes widen.

Da. 15 samples here. On the condition that all of this is made individually.

That won't be a problem, but the cost of working will be added. You have to increase the line of the factory to 15.

Mozambique is a country with many developing coastal cities. If cities are supplied with unique water, their utilization as tourist resources will skyrocket. This should be enough to address any additional costs.

Even after the deputy director told him to make the most of the existing water supply, he said he would pay more money, the state he was watching on one side was surprising and envious.

If you say so, I will work hard to improve the coastal city of Mozambique.

It's amazing that a company with this kind of technology was in Asia, not Europe. The world is vast.

Jungwoo dared to smile and asked me one thing.

"By the way, Deputy Director, sample number 12. Do you want me to make it a promiopias sylvestria or a minus?

What do you recommend?

It's good to put it nutritionally. because in Korea or Asia, we use this kind of acrobatic drink. This primitive ant actually has the perfect ingredients for a man, but there's no way to describe it. Speak for yourself.

If that's the case, please be sure to include it.

Teddy took a deep breath and got off the bus, watching Jungwoo and the deputy director talking about the conversation.

Teddy was in the campground parking lot with his cell phone in his hand. When I dialed the number, the opponent immediately responded.

- Oh, Teddy.

"Greetings, Ambassador.

Madren Cante, French diplomatic ambassador based in Mozambique. Through this line, Teddy attempts to contact the opposing team at the top.

- The Suez business is the French business, so you have to actively help. Fortunately, there is a way to meet with the Water Management Director. There's a dinner tonight at a public palace in Beira. I've just been invited, so I'll save you a seat.

Teddy turns his eyes to the mobile lab where the deputy director seems reluctant to come out for an hour.

If you explain Suzuman's urban management plan to develop Mozambique's water resources as a whole, the Director will be thrilled.

Hold on. There's a shortwave reversal waiting.

That afternoon.

Jungwoo left the hut of base camp in a yawn, and encountered a truck that was boarded by Eugene Chemical's staff.

The saint who was sitting in the passenger seat opened the window and asked.

“How did it go today? ”

“It ended better than I thought. ”

“Exactly. I was confident that no matter how tough the management was, Mr. Jungwoo's ability would be recognized. ”

The saint who was as happy as he was about his job slapped the man in the driver's seat.

“Deputy Kim. You've never seen Mr. Jungwoo before? This is the guy who found the corrosion data hole you analyzed. ”

Then the man in the driver's seat who recognized Jungwoo was embarrassed and bowed his head. You get up and greet up to the four companions sitting side by side in the back of the truck.

Jung personally replied to the members of the analysis team who almost lost their salary.

“By the way, Jungwoo. Chief Jungwoo. Where are you going dressed so beautifully? ”

“Dinner. ”

When three of the early, intermediate and senior bioblitz top performers mentioned the dinner, the saint opened his mouth.

“You're meeting with the President? You received Mozambique two days ago. ”

“To that extent · · · · · · · · · ·. We were told we were leaving soon. I'm going.”

“Good luck!”

Jungwoo walked to the central park office, shrugging his shoulders as if he were not invited to the glorious seat.

‘If I had known it would go this well, I wouldn't have had to use chi to win. ’

Long-distance hikes followed by overnight work. I was exhausted, but I couldn't say no.

Mr. Han!

On the bus in front of the office, Cristina raises her hand.

Beira Line is this bus.

"Huh? Are you coming, Tina?

The chief of the press is sick and I'm covering on his behalf. Just in case we run into another elephant.

She shakes her head thinking about what happened last night. What looked like a noble BBC chief of staff, but the screams were miserable like boiled trains. It would have been better if the quiet water fainted and helped.

Jungwoo encountered a black boy wearing an explorer's hat while boarding the bus. A little boy who looked like he was in elementary school looked up at Jungwoo.

You must be the beginner winner? What's your name?

You don't understand when asked in English. When Cristina approached and switched to Swahili, she asked, "Futu" returned. She looks back at Jungwoo.

I'm asking for Mr. Han's name.

“I'm Jungwoo. ”

“You all right?"

“Yes.”

After sitting near Jungwoo, Futu looked at me with curious eyes. His shiny eyes are so cute that he doesn't even know he's talking.

“Why? Haven't you ever seen an Asian? ”

“Huyu ni mtu ambaye ―”

Cristina, sitting right next to me, translated Futu's words.

"Did you really find 460?"

Did I find so many? Anyway, it's over 400.

I'm asking you to show me your notes.

Jungwoo stammers his arms and pulls out the notebook he put in his pocket. I reached out to Futu and said.

Just take it. I don't need you anymore.

“Yoooah!"

Futu received the note with an unknown elasticity. As I was excited to sing a song, Jungwoo became delighted.

"Cute kids are common in the world. ’

Out of the bus, a woman who looked like Futu's mother, dressed in a posh outfit, said to the window, "Putoo!” I was told to be quiet.

Futu shook his notebook with a smile on his face, a new record in advanced courses and a legendary bioblitz that will never be broken for decades to come.

Beira, Mozambique's second-largest city, was exuding a vibe of light that flowed through old Mediterranean buildings.

Teddy looks at the landscape and opens his mouth while riding in Ambassador Madrang's car.

Twelve countries involved in the seawater desalination plan are particularly in high growth within the AU. Last year's total production in Mozambique was $20 billion, up every year.

Mozambique has been energized recently.

I am confident that this opportunity to engage in water infrastructure will bring more benefits to France than can be seen.

While talking about the economy, the car stopped in front of the dining room.

Ambassador, what did you say the name of this event was?

National Park Restoration Anniversary.

Given Mozambique's propensity to be proud of its diverse national park environment, it was not surprising that many vice ministers participated in the event.

Here we are. Let's take it down.

Teddy stood in front of an old-fashioned building on the first floor painted with a deep African tint with Ambassador Madrang. The conversation continues even as the guards confirm the ambassador's identity.

Gorongsa was amazing even though I saw her this morning.

If you fly around in a helicopter, Director Teddy will talk.

If Today Works Well · · ·

Instead of talking, Teddy stares at a man who looks through a window.

· · Why is the author here?

You're confirmed. Have a good time, Ambassador.

As soon as the guard finishes speaking, Teddy rushes through the door.

Teddy arrives on the inside and can't take his eyes off the KG chemistry. I never saw it wrong. What was even more surprising was the fact that he was sitting in the middle, and that he was also in the top.

What kind of background did you put next to the President?

Who are you talking about?

Followed by Ambassador Madrang's question, Teddy's fingertips point to a limited right.

There's a bioblitz winner on the table.

Ambassador "Victory". Is that a place where you can buy money?

No way. You can't win an orgasm without a lot of biology. There's the Director of Water.

Given the position of the competitor to speak with the president, the ministry was not worth considering. That's why Teddy's attention was directed to the rest of the group.

One researcher at a chemical company in a corner of Asia showed me the last 48 hours of horror. But this was not the end of the horror.

After the presidential sermon was over, I looked inside as if the Director of Water, who was slaughtering meat, suddenly remembered.

That's Futu.

"Putuyo?"

I am Prime Minister Iris Ali's youngest son. You said you were interested in ecological research, and there you are. Prime minister ires would be proud.

Teddy, who was handing over a sip of champagne to his bitter heart, heard a big gasp and saree in this conversation.

Little Futu sits on the knee of a limited-right man, handing over a note. The ministers around were delighted to see it.

Since Teddy had been a lobbyist for decades, he realized that it was useless to carry out activities to gain support in this situation.

At this moment, the word ‘crisis’ filled the mind of Suez Sa Lobbyist, who rules the world's water treatment market.

It's been five days since I stepped on African soil.

The movement of Eugene Chemical's base camp in Gorongsa has begun.

Jungwoo attended a meeting early in the morning for transportation.

Jungwoo sweeping the map was also distracted by the two days' journey to set up a base camp in the southern city of Tanzania across the northern border.

There are national parks in Tanzania, and notably the famous Serengeti. It is very important to find the country's representative water to continue using the spring strategy, whether it works for Deputy Director Ibrahim.

‘The ground is so wide that I can't see it all. ’

Each country can only invest up to 5 days. To gain more than half the support, we had to reduce it.

Last night's news of Beolia's success against the Democratic Republic of Congo made friendship even more urgent.

“You said the rest of Mr. Jungwoo's team will join you in six days. ”

I woke up from the thought of asking the Lord and nodded my head.

“I told them to enter Daressalam first. ”

“How many people? ”

“Twelve.”

“Then we'll need two more vehicles. ”

“Five, please. We have to split up the crew and run long distances. ”

Joo-won nods.

“Chief Park. You heard me.”

Chief Park Il-chang from the support team put his hand on his chin and made a slightly serious face.

“No, we have five or six in one car, so it's a waste, right? You have to go to the heavenly Daressalam for a car search, and it's famous for offering murderous prices to foreigners. ”

“Chief Park does not have the authority to advise Limit Woo. Accept his request unconditionally. If there's any news in your ears that you don't want to be fired. ”

The chief kept his mouth shut with a shrugged look on his face. The commander gave him a chuckle and patted him on the shoulder.

At the end of the meeting, Jungwoo was able to come up with an approximate sample collection plan. As soon as the Democratic Republic of Central Congo lifts its hand, the route is as simple as possible. We start by sweeping the five East African countries.

Immediately before splitting into teams, the last order of the Lord followed.

“Don't forget to check every car for radio and satellite phone. The lead will be Wolf, so keep up the pace. ”

When Jungwoo left the cabin, the park's Director of Ecology came to Tonga.

Director.

I heard you're going today.

I think I'll leave around 10: 00 after breakfast. Yeah. How'd it go with the elephant?

The antidote you made a few days ago worked great. Visitors' attacks have also disappeared since that day. Oh, and my headache.

He smiled at Jungwoo who relieved him.

Thanks to you, the warden thanked the population of elephants for their stability.

No problem. Mozambique boasts about the Gorongosa ecosystem. that living chemistry in nature itself is a valuable reaction. It was an honor to see that. Please tell the warden I thank him for saving this place.

I was also thankful for the ecosystem of the park with the perfect fountain, but I avoided mentioning it too snobby.

I've felt it before, but Mr. Han seems like an amazing person. I'm good at saying weird things.

I'm pretty good with chemistry.

Tonga gives out a delicate wooden doll in front of Jungwoo smiling. It was a pair of elephant families.

A souvenir.

Wow, you're really sharp.

I can't give you money because my operating costs are high, but the warden told me to give you this. The woodcutter died 10 years ago, and he advised us not to throw it away, because it was worth it.

I'd be happy to take it.

Jung gives a surprise gift in his bag and says hello to Gourongusa.

Mozambique has been in violent civil war for 16 years and has suffered damage to humans as well as many animals, and the natural environment has become utterly desolate. Specifically, the central Gorongosa National Park was devastated, and in 2004 began its journey to restore the ecosystem, the last habitat and report on biodiversity of almost the last large herd on the planet.

Inside the hut, Brad's gaze reaches towards a central passage, reading a draft of an article from Cristina.

· · · A photoactive toxin problem encountered by a group of elephants, symbolic of the world's most ecological parks, was found in the hands of a chemist familiar with the chemical flow of the natural world.

Tina. Did you hear it from Lim Wu himself?

It's based on Tonga's interview. They said they wouldn't tell the BBC because of someone.

Brad clears his throat and pauses as he sweeps through the following:

This chemist's past is spectacular. In the case of overcoming the crisis of old age in the Alaskan pipeline, you can see that they are also good at corrosion problems · · · · · ·.

Pipeline? Is it true?

I won the Managing Director's Interview.

Brad reads the article without saying anything when he shakes the recording file in his phone.

Water officials commented on his magic that transformed Beira's saltwater into a clear fountain at the summit of Gorongsa. ‘It redefined the meaning contained in a drop of water. ’

A chemist's journey through the middle of the wild. This is the moment I'm looking forward to the first button.

- In to the Wild, Journalist Kristina Pimenova

Brad's eyes remained on the special year-end column, 'I and Nature,' which he was working on. I was curious about this chemist's journey, which was amusing to compare honestly.

"Brad, you have to decide quickly. His team is leaving soon.

Good. Good. Do you have exclusive coverage permission?

Now you have to go and get it.

How?

Cristina smiled confidently.

9: 55 a.m.

A long motorcade lined up in front of the road to 'Gate 1’ in Gorongusa National Park.

Cheers.

- This is Wolf. All vehicles will check and report instruments and communication devices.

The first pair of alternate seats in front of the six-seater jeep, Madhua and Dong-gun, checked the instrument board and control panel and listened to the radio.

This is No. 9. No problem.

- Lazer.

In the middle of the second shift, Cha Seo and Lee Jun Ik were in contact with their home country using alternate satellite phones.

“At 7: 00 a.m. at Daressalam Airport? Is it Korean or Tanzanian? ”

The third group in the back seat, Jungwoo and Kaya, had no interest in analyzing the area to explore in the future.

Although Kaya and I often visit dangerous places, please be sure to thoroughly educate our team members about safety.

That's when the five minutes before we left got busy.

An attractive woman with red hair knocked on the window of a jeep.

“Senior Jungwoo. Foreign lady wants to see you first. ”

Jungwoo's head was lifted up from the driver's seat.

"Tina Journalist?

When she lowered the window, Cristina looked at Jungwoo and said,

I want to cover Mr. Limit Woo's Journey as a BBC Holiday Feature.

"Me? Why me?

It will be much more interesting than a gentleman's natural tourism feature.

Even so · · · · · · · · · ·.

Cristina glanced at the sign on the map with the Jungle and said,

Luaha National Park is for Safari only, so you won't find the Sam you want.

Uh-huh. Really?

If you allow me to accompany you, I will mark a good spot. Independent languages in three African countries, with translatable services in particular dialects.

A talented journalist who joined the BBC International News department while attending a famous university in Tanzania. Jungwoo felt the gummy pull tightly.

Tina, that's it. Does it include a second hand car purchase service that you don't use? You said you lived in Dare Salaam for a long time.

Used cars?

I need five more. It's sturdy. Chief Eugene Chemical is having a hard time with this.

Just give me a seat next to you. Our station car must have spread on the way.

Ducky.

The back door of the jeep opens and Cristina boards.

Cheers.

- All vehicles accounted for. Let's go.

Along with Wolf's radio, dozens of vehicles, including mobile labs, left Gorongosa National Park in a row.
