Chemistry
< 23. Into the Wild (13) >
Jungwoo enters the central control room.
“There's vacuum melting in the bicycle mixer. ”
I couldn't help but be amazed at the insides of an expensive machine that wasn't even equipped.
Jungwoo, who was looking at a super mixer capable of mixing and grinding at the nano level, asked the owner of this room standing with a proud look on his face.
This is no ordinary fertilizer factory, right?
A factory that invested a lot.
Robert smiles meaningfully.
Jungwoo recalled the information he had heard about Robert a few months ago.
An arms dealer from the U.S. Defence Industry conducts arms sales business against the world and is being tracked by the CIA. After he was rescued from the Philippine island, he was walking around in one piece, even though he didn't think he was going to jail.
Robert opened his mouth with a new look of remorse, reading the color of Jungwoo, wondering why he was here.
At that time, I got dragged to my mother's house to negotiate, and I got very sweaty. We had to blow up the entire sales network. Asset confiscation was fundamental.
Are you just coming out and doing it again?
Don't worry. This is a fully licensed factory by the Sudanese government. Soldiers protect it, and it's very safe.
Robert raises his thumb at Colonel Izuma, standing at the entrance.
Robbed of a hidden account, this factory was founded with Robert's ambition to start a new weapons business in the Middle East, placing his hands on Jungwoo's shoulders.
Mr. Han visited Sudan in a moment when he needed a big shot. It feels like the fog of life is lifting.
Jung scratches his chin.
Speaking of which, I thought I was studying fertilizer. The colonel is desperate to tell you that 50% of the Sudanese economy relies on agriculture.
Colonel Izahim, who was expressing a solemn expression, turned away from Jungwoo's gaze, looking at the mountain far away from this point.
Robert chuckles.
"Agriculture? What kind of fertilizer research is this in a place where 90% of the land is evil?" It's all smoke. You'd have to sell hundreds of tons of peanuts to buy one of these.
Robert became serious when he touched the hundreds of thousands of dollar compound mixer.
If you succeed in the first transaction, you will also receive a full investment. Lobby finished a long time ago, cleared all domestic and international lines. Sudan will be the best weapons exporter in the Middle East.
It's welcome to be rich, but I can't help you with this.
What?
Robert, wide-eyed, grabs Jungwoo's arm.
If you're good at Mr. Han, you can do it with your eyes closed. A little grace and water contract would be nice for each other.
A bomb is morally · · ·
No, Mr. Han is greatly mistaken. Weapons are more valuable in suppressing war than they are in war. Why do you think Russia has so many lips? I want to give peace and power to the Middle East at the same time.
I don't know much about international politics. But if the chemistry I'm doing is going to kill somebody, I can't do that. No, I won't.
Although not in the position of giving the Geneva hotel terrorists 12 weeks of preliminary gifts with sticky ballistics, Jungwoo's determination was firm.
When I expressed my refusal, Colonel Lee Ji-hye at the entrance looked at me with hard eyes.
You can't help it if a knife gets in your throat. I'll help you. '
Awareness of belief is to protect safety to the extent that it can be willingly ensured.
Luckily, Robert chose to negotiate instead of Carl.
I'll give you a royalty. You'll be more competitive if you increase your performance by 10%. There's at least $10 million in pre-orders.
"I'm sorry. I'll give up my contract with Sudan Water Resources. Let's pretend this never happened.
I'll get you another 500,000. How much do you make selling filters to the Department of Water?
1.6 billion dollars.
After spending two trillion won on business, Robert coughed and lost his words for a while. As the situation does not go smoothly, Captain Izheim stands at Robert's side.
Jung felt the pressure of something quickly said.
Dr. Robert. If the settlement fails, I won't stand for it. because there's ammonia gas in the warehouse, and Tuluene on the floor here.
He took out an empty jar of fingers that he was carrying for sampling in his arms and cleaned it up.
If it's mixed with this acetylene combination gas, the diffusion will damage all this expensive equipment.
The contents of the bottle were false, but the warning was true. Lightning using batteries is as simple as shaking an armed machine with sensitive sensors.
Violence, Mr. Han. Calm down and listen to me.
I've made my position clear, but is there anything else I can hear? More than that, it's a compulsion.
Jungwoo turns his head to the man whose complexion has turned to dirt.
“Car secretary. Please contact Wolf Instructor and ask him to come here. ”
“I understand. ”
This person saw the difference in his hand holding the stuttering satellite phone, and lifted his finger as he opened his eyes.
Stop calling if you don't want to be banished from Sudan right now.
Robert grabs the shoulder of that interest.
What are you doing? I'm in charge of the plant.
Why are you so hard on people who don't have guns?
Colonel, do you know who that chemist is? He deals with live EMPs with his bare hands. The CIA is taking him in for consultation. I'm not the kind of man you end up dealing with.
“Make the call, come on. ”
“He's got a gun on him. ”
“Don't worry, you'll be flying to the ceiling as soon as you take it out. ”
“How?”
“Half the compound on that table is explosive. ”
It was a time when four people were bored for their own reasons.
The ceiling's back was switched off at the same time, with the electricity going out.
Tsk, tsk!
The window outside the control room breaks and two black shadows dig in like gunfire.
The back that was switched off was turned back on by an emergency generator. Under the orange light, two soldiers wearing blue bulletproof hats with the letter ’UN’ engraved appeared.
One of them aims at Robert with a rifle.
Freeze! "
Robert reflectively placed his hands on his head. This force touches the pistol of the waist dance, but stops immediately when the tip of the rifle touches the chest.
A South American soldier, who had defeated two men in a flash, said to the comms connected to his helmet.
First Squad Entered.
Cheers.
- Second squad, cover point secured.
The soldier, who took the gun of interest and threw it to the ground, turns his head to Jungwoo.
Captain Vasco, United Nations peacekeeper. Are you all right, Ambassador?
At the moment of refining, I didn't understand who I was asking. "Me?" he asked boldly.
UNEP Environmental Metabolism Only. Are you right?
"Oh, that's right.
I've been instructed to keep the Ambassador safe.
Really? What an honour to be so · · · · · · · · · ·.
It's not that much of a threat, but you see a window through which a relieved breeze blows. Through the broken window, you see a strong trail of descent from the roof onto the rope.
"Wait. How did you know I was here?
We've been watching over this place since before Ambassador Lim Woo came.
Captain Vasco briefly stated his situation. The United Nations Security Council sent intelligence from the Counterterrorism Department to monitor the illegal weapons manufacturing plant.
Jungwoo only understood the situation.
‘I had to be watching this place. Should I say this was lucky? ’
Thanks to that, Jungwoo sighed and saw the difference that was still shaking his fingertips. The Flashbang was also a soldier who pierced through the window in the courtyard. Unlike the one he used to accept, he was very surprised.
“Are you all right?"
“What a mess. ”
“I see.”
Captain Vasco spoke in a callous tone toward this power.
The EOD Investigator will soon visit the Notary and this factory. Supporting or aiding the production of illegal weapons is a violation of international law · ·
- Colonel!
The captain shouts from under the door as his escort comes running down the stairs.
The Colonel has already been overwhelmed! Don't Move!
Then he pushes his interest with the end of his rifle. After making an impression, he turned to the ground.
Stand by, Leto. It's the United Nations.
Robert looked at Captain Vasco with a look on his face that this was unbelievable.
Hey, Outlaw Factory? I'm exhausted. Even though the UN Security Council is in the dark, is it okay to break into a government legally sanctioned factory like this? Don't you know it's a duty of neutrality?
You are not obligated to guard a factory that manufactures bombs for use in terrorism.
Do you have proof? This is a fertilizer factory. Can't you see it's piled up there in the warehouse?
Robert points to the shelves in the warehouse. Vasco glances at him and says to the radio:
Squad 3. Do you have the goods?
- On the way.
You hear the sound of the army boots stepping on the iron steps. Duckling, two soldiers with fertilizer sacks enter through the open door.
One of you tears a sack and spills it onto the table. A favorable gray lump of slab that looks like clay falls through the black powder.
I think that's the proof.
Damn.
Robert realizes that his opponent is already in the dark and blames himself.
Vasco looks back at the sunset.
Since the investigator is arriving soon, can you just wait until the situation is handed over?
Of course. Don't mind me. Go to work.
There were no threats to the factory in the yard where all five of the guards of interest were disarmed and placed on one side.
Jungwoo looks at the weapon engineer and the armorer, who are slacking their shoulders.
‘Even though the situation was avoided. ’
The activity to secure support in Sudan has become an inevitable circumstance to fold and move to Algeria. When I met the Nile, I was burned with hope, but it was a night of sighing.
About five minutes later, a ringtone rang in his arms. Bourne, who grabbed his arm and took out his cell phone, told Captain Vasco who was on guard.
"Government extension, important phone call.
Captain Vasco instructed me to speak into speaker mode. I sighed and pressed the button.
I am a Military Officer.
- Colonel, I just got a crazy call from the American ambassador.
Go, Mr. President!
Jung Woo's face, who was in contact with the base camp, turned to the attitude of interest that raised his salute because no one was watching.
- Our Sudan has pressured us to keep the economic sanctions that they were releasing in early November. I gave it to you, damn Yank. That's why I was told not to frame you. So the American ambassador said he had evidence.
That, that · · · · · · · · ·.
- It's not, is it?
His gaze was toward the plastic mass revealed between the fertilizers. He said, with a cool sweat on his forehead.
An Investigator is coming.
- You have proof?
Evidence is · · · · · · · · ·.
- Do you have one?
Emphasize and repeat the question. The implication that there shouldn't be was enough for those listening to the conversation next to him to know.
- Think, judge and act. If foreign assets remain frozen, they will be terminated, not only by the Colonel, but also by the Colonel in Chief.
After the call, Captain Vasco said to Izahim, who was deliberating.
Don't be ridiculous.
Captain Vasco's eyes were on his men for intense surveillance due to the possibility of an extreme attempt to blow up the whole plant to destroy evidence.
‘Economic sanctions? ’
Jungwoo asked Joo Hana, who was on satellite phone.
“Master Chief. If the U.S. economic sanctions continue in Sudan, what will happen to the water business? ”
- There's gonna be a long-term financial hole, so there's a good chance of getting out. But that's not gonna happen. because African economic analysts have given us quite a positive review. Four United Nations senior directors expressed concern about the United States' unilaterally disadvantaged behavior in Sudan.
After hearing a long story between President Sudan and the American ambassador, Jung was somewhat confident and asked.
“One drop won't shake the whole business, will it? ”
- I'm not sure. because I don't have a lot of experience with AU working together like this. If Sudan, an Islamic culture, comes out strong, the same Islamic culture may fall out.
Tanzania, Kenya, Mozambique. Zhongwoo's eyes widened in the analysis that KG chemistry, which is being supported by countries that have formed the Islamic sphere of East Africa, could be a deadly disaster.
- How do we prepare to move camp to Algeria?
“I'll go back and discuss this first. ”
Jung, who lowered the satellite phone, saw Robert sitting there in a daze. After being driven out of Europe, he plundered the hidden visa funds and went to the forefront of the Sudanese defense industry, where he was caught up in the U.N. Security Council surveillance system before he even started his business.
Dr. Robert.
Booth's eyes shifted in desperation over the call of Jungwoo.
President Sudan seems very angry.
I know you must be upset, but it's too much to say you're angry. You took the credit for being a goddamn Yank. I'm glad you gave up your American nationality. Damn it, Yankees.
If there was any hope, it was Robert who seemed to want to catch it. If the economic sanctions are not lifted, he will also be expelled from Sudan, and the only place he can choose without his nationality or money is in an American prison.
‘I feel sorry for Robert. I don't care, but I'm going to feel sorry for myself. ’
Jungwoo turns his eyes to the table and bites.
How many lumps of plastic did you make?
That's all I made because it's a prototype.
It's all eight, right? You can't lie about this.
What do you expect from Mr. Hahn?
Robert wondered when he saw Jungwoo carefully looking at the prototype.
Why are you suddenly interested in rejecting me?
Dr.
Yes?
Are you sure you don't want to go into the fertilizer business after all?
Robert stops.
What are you talking about?
KG chemistry will strongly push you. Oh, by the way, you got any booze in here? You liked to drink when you were working.
After a while.
A black man in a vest and an Arab man in a suit with the letter 'EOD’ arrived at the factory entrance.
I'm from the Investigations Department. Sergeant Filmora of the former United Nations Army for Peace Corps. This is international lawyer Abdi Jose.
This way.
Sergeant Xing walked inside under the guidance of a soldier who was waiting. A man with a captain's rank greets you as you enter the central control room.
Welcome, Sergeant.
Captain Vasco asked his supervisor for a quick salute.
Where · · Explosives · ·?
It's on the table.
His boss, who put the bag on the floor and took out the equipment, looked at the plastic blocks on the table and said.
Looks like pure C4 lineage. Was it made in this factory?
Yes.
Sergeant Tsk, tsk, tsk.
Accepting to set up a bomb factory in the middle of the city. The Sudanese government is here.
Captain Vasco nods in agreement.
Your supervisor will take over the site in this time frame. If you find any more hazardous materials, we'll assist Lieutenant Derek here. I have a convoy mission.
I understand.
It was only a short time before his boss wore protective gloves and carefully approached the table.
Step away from the patented substance of KG Chemistry, Sergeant.
One Asian man stood in front of his boss. Captain Vasco raises his eyes.
Ambassador Lim Wu. What are you doing?
It seems to be a serious infringement of intellectual property rights in KG chemistry in the United Nations.
What Proprietary Rights · · That's a bomb.
No, it's fertilizer. Dr. Robert mentioned that earlier.
Jungwoo saw Robert.
Robert nodded quietly with a look on his face after everything had been lost, delegating 'authority to KG Chemistry Limited Woo Senior Researcher' at the bottom of the document from the order. I wrote a letter and signed it.
Now, that's enough, right?
In Robert's question, the differential water points to a red jelly-like substance in the test tube while looking for something like a shareholder.
Use that to stamp your thumb together. Korean-style contracts are far more disruptive and reliable.
Are you crazy? It's 80% methyl oxide. You want to melt my fingers?
Ah · · ·
The differential waters, which painted heavily on Robert's thumb with a sign-in pen, point to the document. Robert shakes his head and snaps his head.
In the meantime, Captain Vasco looked at Jungwoo as if he couldn't understand.
Unauthorized bomb manufacturing is a serious international crime. The Sudanese government will deny they didn't know, and Ambassador Lim doesn't have immunity.
Without all the complications, all you have to do is prove that this is fertilizer, not a bomb.
A bomb is a bomb, what do you mean?
Captain Vasco was dumbfounded and unable to join the conversation.
A young friend is making a funny noise. If you insist on C4 as fertilizer, who's going to believe that?
"Oh, this is C4?
Jungwoo stood on the table and held a lump of plastic in his hand. At that moment, both Vasco and Zheng take a bouncing step back.
Exclusive Wu Ambassador! What are you doing!
I want to show you proof. It's not a bomb, it's a new fertilizer that's broadly applicable to desert terrain. Not at all dangerous.
Jungwoo, of course, turned his eyes to the molecular world with a plastic mass full of explosives in his hands.
Robert's own study of a type 4 composite explosive was a mass combustion agent that caused a molecular reaction of 9.0 kilometers per second at the moment of contact with the detonator.
‘Blowing your fingernails won't blow up this room. ’
However, mixtures that are not composed of a single atom are often the only material to which a stimulus is applied at the electron level.
If you combine hydrogen and oxygen properly, which is causing a massive explosion in gaseous conditions, you can turn it into H2O, water that can quench the fire.
Jungwoo fingered the compound of the nitroamine lineage, a key material that generates shock waves within the medium.
The quivering mass of the compound flipped over into the opposite structure in the molecular world. One side of the isomer is a compound that delivers an organic combustion reaction while the other side is merely a sugar component.
‘The urgent fire was roughly put out. ’
If we take it and do a thorough analysis, we'll conclude it's not a bomb. The problem was that he needed a reason to stand up and stop them.
There was no solution unless the patent fertilizer was reassuring for experts.
Put it down and say it, Ambassador! If there's a detonator inside, it's dangerous!
You can only misunderstand what it looks like. because the first idea was to create fertilizer in the process of burning the soil. Dr. Robert prepared this for me, as I've sent him.
I chatted with my mouth and patted my fingertips on all eight pieces. Now given the energy of alcohol, the enantiomeric compound could exert influence on both sides at any time.
All the useless heavy metals were pushed into the combustion reaction and walked to a table full of test tubes with a plastic mass in the left hand that calculated a catalyst that could only contain nutrients such as nitrogen and calcium compounds.
I came to Sudan today and made a special catalyst. It's the only way to release fertilizer nutrients in the desert in a short amount of time.
The test tube was partially contained in the beaker with the right hand.
Zec. After precisely weighing and seasoning the solution in dozens of test tubes with one hand, the mixture was shaken with a glass rod to complete the catalyst for only 30 seconds.
Others saw Jungwoo playing with his hands, but Robert knew its value well. It was truly a dazzling gesture.
Jungwoo put the first finished copy in the bicycle mixer, pressed the button, and then looked back at the people in the frozen room mistakenly assuming they were swinging the C4.
It looks like I'm blackmailing the United Nations, and I'm trying to preserve the intellectual property of patents and KG chemistry, so please excuse me for a second.
Beevik.
Like an expensive machine, the heating, electrolysis, and centrifugal mixing were done in 53 seconds.
After taking a quick look at the results, Jung confirms that the catalyst is ready and brings it back to the table in a beaker. A thin, blue liquid was sprayed on the lump as it was.
Never mind.
I tapped off the top of the piece and placed it on the palm of my hand.
This is it.I think you'll have to believe it before I can test it.
General Zheng warned as Jungwoo, holding an electric primer on one side of the control room, plugged it into extensive fertilizer in the palm of his hand.
If you burst that close, you die!
"If this is the C4 you think it is, If not, then that's what I'm saying.
Why are you risking your life to do something reckless?
An international lawyer who later entered the central control room, along with a soldier, was stunned by what was happening inside and hardened.
Jungwoo simply lowered his head to the lawyer to calm down and replied to his boss.
There can be no such thing as reckless behavior in a thoroughly calculated chemical reaction.
Mr. Han. Are you sure you want to do this? No, this. If you need a precision measurement, turn the component analyzer here.
Even Robert was concerned about the serious consequences of Jungwoo's actions. Jungwoo smiled boldly and pressed the button on the detonator.
And as soon as he saw that, he said, "Ugh! ’I fell flat on the ground with groaning. However, the distance explosion that people expected did not occur at all.
Saaaaaak.
Rather, the sound of the chocolate burning like it was melting calmed the hearts of nervous people.
What, what?
Robert stares in horror, lying on the ground watching Jung Woo.
On the palm of Jungwoo's hand.
The blue flame rises like a haze and disappears, and the burnt compound spreads gently around Jungwoo's hand.
While everyone continued to look at this strange combustion reaction with surprises and confusion, Jung continued to explain.
This is what I mean by spreading well. You know that famous sandstorm in the Sahara? Bottoms up? Well, you can scatter them accordingly. If you'll excuse me, please. That's where the wind is. The smell lasts a long time.
When the scattered blue powder absorbed constant moisture and applied to the floor of the control room, it settled evenly like snow.
Even the ammonia and fertilizer smells there made Robert realize the words of Jungwoo come true.
In the past, the world's best arms dealer, who dominated Europe's black market, became one of the manufacturing factories.
Pebbivic...
Basco heard a beep in his ear, which was locked away in a tiny device, rather than a UN device, and lightly touched the receive button.
- I'm crazy. I told you to prioritize Mr. Han's acquisition.
David, an intelligence analyst at the European Branch, gave me a stern voice.
Basco sighed as he pressed the Sudanese government to hand over Robert and tried to trace the Middle Eastern weapon route as an excuse.
- I don't need it, give it to Mr. Hahn. Deputy Director Nathan himself has something to say.
May I?
- Just hand it over and shut up. Let's not screw this up any more.
Vasco pulls out a miniature communicator and approaches Jungwoo, who is exfoliating the dust on his palm.
Mr. Han. I've been instructed to deliver above.
Yes?
Jungwoo stopped when he saw a very familiar communicator. When I looked around and wore it in my ears, I immediately heard a voice.
You remember me, right?
Jung, who remembered a European section chief in his late fifties who had given him a big smile when he visited the CIA branch in Berlin, replied walking towards the window.
Oh, yeah. You're the director of the ISTC. "
- Haha, you remembered correctly. It's a secure channel, so let me put it at ease. You make fertilizer out of C4? I laughed a lot while watching David.
I looked up at the CCTV cameras that set this tone. I think I hacked into the plant's security network and saw the whole thing.
I have no choice but to do business. Was my behavior a problem?
- The US government's pressure policy on Sudanese government has nothing to do with us. But, Robert. The new arms sales route he pioneered in the Middle East is very important to us.
Nathan found it cool that he set Robert free on purpose. Jungwoo saw Robert sitting hollow among the blue powder.
What happens to Dr. Robert when you find that information?
- You'll continue to be the CIA's primary lookout until you start the next route. I don't know.
Once I set foot in that world, there seemed to be a kind of roller that could not be separated.
- That's why I have a favor to ask Mr. Hahn. Help Robert raise money to get back into business with this fertilizer business.
Sell spreading fertilizer for real?
It was a plausible chemical effect, but I didn't think the business items that I brought out immediately for cotton wool would work. Nathan's proposal, however, spoke of a completely different level of situation.
- We'll keep the sale under wraps. Mr. Han, as the business owner, just needs Robert to understand that this is actually happening.
If Robert is unsuspecting about how this fertilizer is being sold, KG chemistry in association with it will benefit from not even its usual operations.
It's no different than setting up a factory in Sudan for free. Given the CIA's unending disposal, it was truly a lump of gold.
"Wow. Was that rainbow you saw before you crossed the border really a sign of good luck?" ’
As Jungwoo tries to say yes, Robert approaches and stops talking.
You avoided me earlier. You didn't like your business partner that much?
It doesn't make any sense. I can't believe my work turned into poop manure.
You know that piece of shit has a lot of high-tech chemistry, right?
I know. It's even more surprising because I know. With such tremendous power in nothing, you refuse to offer me a 10% performance boost. You too · · ·
A well-organized chemist.
Robert shakes his head as if he can't stop the joking pits. Just a few minutes ago, he muttered as he saw his boss performing a workup on a lump of plastic bomb.
The United Nations Commission for Terrorism and the Sudanese Government should see it. I have to sell this for a while, but can you tell me how to make it?
Yes, we have a patent agreement.
Robert takes a sigh of relief and grabs Jungwoo's hand.
"Thank you. I won't forget this grace.
Thinking about Robert's future as he was about to be plundered by the world's leading intelligence agencies, Jungwoo felt sorry for him.
If you still want to rebuild the Sudanese government line without needing to repay later, please contact the Minister of Water.
Of course, of course. I'll do it for you.
Jungwoo was satisfied that he was able to leave something else and maintain AU's manual handling business.
