Chemistry

In November 1950, a chemical smog hit London, England, killed 4,000 people with dyspnea and asphyxiation in the first three weeks, and 8,000 more with chronic pulmonary disease.

In December 1984, more than 2,400 people died and 100,000 people became addicted to toxic gas spills in a pesticide factory in Bopal, central India.

Survivors are still suffering from blindness, respiratory disorders, and central nervous system abnormalities.

In March 1991, 30 tons of phenolic stock illegally discharged in the Falls turned the drinking water source into a river of death.

At the time, hundreds of thousands of citizens who used this water resource were not investigated in detail.

In April 2010, a drill ship in the Gulf of Mexico exploded.

The oil belt covered about 6,500 kph of sea due to crude oil spills, making the area a dead sea. Environmental disasters that result from this are still not fully estimated.

In August 2015, large quantities of toxic substances, including stored sodium cyanide 700t, were released from containers lodged in logistics companies in Tianjin, China.

Toxic substances flowing into the waters and oceans caused the Chinese SNS to gossip about 'air polluted by sodium cyanide in cities'.

The total population of Tianjin City reported in 15 years is 1547 million.

"South Korea, now.

In a rural village outside Gyeongju province, Emperor Jaemyung, a pharmacist from Ipsilli Pharmacy, looked outside where the fog was heavily sandwiched and touched his knee joint.

“I don't think it's going to rain. ”

Fall rains often don't get cold, and if it's not cold, fewer guests come to buy cold medicine.

The weather department's forecast that it will be quite cold this year has brought in more drugs than last year, so Emperor Jae Myung hoped that the rains would not fall.

I was looking outside, holding the coffee I just had poured in my hand, and I saw an unwanted raindrop hit the glass door.

The arthritic signal of white-white is also useless today. I opened the door slightly and the air was warm.

“It's going to be winter soon, but it's not that warm. ”

Wang Jae Myung turned around kicking his tongue and sighed that he had finished the holiday business this year, looking at the piles of snot, cough and cold medicine on one side.

In a pharmacy with no customers, Jae Myung Hwang opened an Internet high-stop for time consumption.

I was just about to enter the first round.

The pharmacy's door opens with a rattling bell.

“Oh, turn it around. Sulfur pharmacist. Even with a strong cold medicine. ”

Wang Jae Myung who greeted the village leader with a grumpy face asked.

“Where's the pain? ”

“Don't talk. I can't breathe because my throat is so neat. I was on my way out to the field, and I saw a lot of money coming out. ”

“If it's too much, go to the hospital. ”

“Oh, come on! Hurry up.”

Since he was an adult with a great temper, Hwang Jae Myung quickly found the medicine and gave it to him. I took the change for $5,000, and the door opened with a loud bang again.

“Age, do you have a hot duffel box? ”

The first son of the hardware store owner in front of me came in and laughed.

“Do you have a cold? ”

“I'm going to die in the morning. I want two bottles for my father. ”

“And Mr. Kang? ”

This was just the beginning.

Run.

“I'm gonna cough my ass off. Pharmacist!”

Run.

“Some cold medicine... Huh? What kind of a person is this? ”

Patients with early morning flu. The curious Emperor Jae Myung was busy taking the medicine and handing it over to the customer, then turned his eyes to the outside.

The rain gradually made a cloudy fog, so the sky in the neighborhood turned dull. It felt like a strange color.

AM 10: 15 - Young Bin, Cheongwa University

Jungwoo stood at the entrance of the magnificent building dedicated to holding official events for the guests of the country and breathed several times.

“Are you nervous?”

He nodded without hiding the question of the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Africa and Jung-gil.

“Yes, a lot. ”

“Speak comfortably about what you have prepared, as you and your staff will support you with power. In fact, it's a diplomatic achievement for 40 AU countries to come together like this without words. ”

This chief had cheered, but Jungwoo's tension did not go away easily. In the meantime, I have met quite a lot of government officials at the City Hall, Forest Service, but this was the residence of the best Korean official.

‘I can't believe I'm in the middle of Cheongwa. ’

The process of entering and entering was complicated and difficult, but the weight of the landscape was also different.

“M-chief. The meeting with the president is on schedule, right? ”

“Since you are currently returning from Southeast Asia, there will be no significant change in the schedule for 4 pm. Your advisor will keep checking and informing you, so you can focus on the challenges ahead of time. ”

Jungwoo rubs the badge attached to the chest. I'm not a government official, but I'm going to spend the day at the Chungwa University.

“Mr. Jungwoo? ”

Turning to someone's voice, you see a politely looking middle-aged man in his 50s approaching the attendant on the inner staircase.

This chief alerted me in a low voice.

“Park Do-Seong, Director of Homeland Security. You're the deputy secretary for the diplomatic lines. ”

Coming up with a gentle smile, Vice Minister Bakdo Sung asked me to shake his hand. Jungwoo welcomed Jungwoo with one hand.

“The man who miraculously led the Han-African Economic Cooperation Practitioners' Meeting was a young man like this. I feel that the future of Korea is very bright. ”

It was a burden to come to Jungwoo even though it was a pleasant compliment. I've just been working hard for the benefit and some commissions of the chemical company, and I feel like I'm holding something big on my shoulders.

Vice Minister Park also stood beside Jungwoo for an economic mission meeting in 40 countries.

I spent a breathtaking amount of time preparing for the diplomatic staff, the members of the Secretary's office, and many of the guards standing around.

In front of the Yeongbin, cars from foreign embassies arrived.

Ambassador Ghana and government officials stepped down from a ceremonial vehicle with the flag of Ghana.

“Ambassador Zuko Cleve. ”

The chief quickly told me the name of the ambassador. Ambassador Zuko with a clear head comes up the stairs.

Park, the oldest and most senior vice minister, walked out and asked for a handshake.

Welcome, Ambassador Zuko. It's your first time seeing me last year on a visa agreement.

However, Ambassador Zuko's gaze was not on Park's side.

Mr. Han!

Ambassador Zhuko hugged Jungwoo as he passed by Vice Minister Park.

Finally! How much pressure is there in your country to catch Mr. Lim Woo for a month? Greetings. Greetings!

I smiled beautifully at Ambassador Zuko's enthusiastic greetings, as if he came out to greet me.

Nice to meet you too, Ambassador.

This time we have a methane gas development problem... ….

There's a conference room on the second floor for more details.

You have to spend a lot of time on our side today. We have prepared everything as we were contacted.

That's... I'll try.

40 countries. Five minutes is 200 minutes.

Ambassador Zuko came inside, expressing his eyes to ask for it.

Ambassador Carmen of Angola, who subsequently climbed the stairs, also found Jungwoo as soon as he arrived.

“I want to see Marnie. Oh, no. It's called a Bogo Seeper.”

I was embarrassed at the moment when Ambassador Carmen prepared a Korean greeting, but he bowed his head in gratitude.

The two ambassadors went inside, and Vice Minister Park saw Jungwoo.

“He's so popular. A young friend would rather be greeted in front of him than this old man. ”

“Me?”

“The ambassadors are only looking for Jungwoo, so it's a good thing the President isn't here today. I could have been a lot safer with you. ”

“No way.”

After Secretary Park shoved his back, Jungwoo stood at the front as the head of the staggering meeting.

Chief Woo Lim Woo!

And then the ambassador to Botswana.

I've been waiting for this day.

Wow! Beautiful Mr. Han!

Togo and Ambassador Côte d 'Ivoire were all very favorable to Jungwoo.

Jungwoo, who finished the meeting with the ambassadors and conspirators from 40 AU countries, turned away.

At all distance, Park, who was standing with the attendant, approached Jungwoo and opened his mouth.

“Mr. Jungwoo. ”

“Yes?”

“Do you mind politics? Looks like someone who needs a diplomatic assignment from the current government. I'd recommend you as a special advisor if I had any ideas.... ”

“No, Vice Minister. I have no idea. ”

“Make you think that there is no place to do narcotics, so don't be impulsive. Take your time thinking about your proposal. It's a long night, but it's worth it. So let's go to the conference. ”

Vice Minister Park went into Young-bin's palace first. The chief smiled and said, starting to walk next to Jungwoo together.

“Actually, you're more of a diplomat's man than a secretary's office. ”

“Chief."

“Haha. The meeting was very nice, so let's end the meeting neatly. ”

Approximately a hundred people on the second floor walked into the conference room of 40 African countries who were practicing economic cooperation on the stairs.

PM 02: 05 - Incheon Airport Highway.

A limousine with a bulletproof film was crossing the Yeongjong Bridge, escorted by police and escort vehicles.

“…… there was a rumor among the members of Congress that there was a problem with the amendment to the health laws that fought a lot in the country. This year's minimum wage increase is a speed violation……. ”

Jung Gil-jin, sitting in the front seat, was discussing key political issues in the country, the state of passing the government-led legislation, and the painful issues of the dispute.

Kang Ju-hyuk, who was looking out the window in the back, quietly nodded and opened his mouth.

“Senior. ”

“Yes, sir. ”

“It's been a rough day. The sky is dark.”

“They say it's going to rain locally. ”

Looking at the landscape of the Incheon Sea, where the mist bloomed, Kang Ju Hyuk turned to the passenger seat.

“It's such a cloudy day, but I think the view of Korea is the best. Da Nang or Manila are just damp. ”

Seeing Kang Ju-hyuk passing talk, not talk about work, Han Gil-jin became the face that realized something.

“You just got back, and I was talking too much about work. I'm sorry."

The president returned safely from the APEC summit and the ASEAN Plus CJK summit during the Southeast Asian tour. Han Gil-jin blamed his actions on the government without a moment's rest.

“What else are you sorry about? You said you'd talk about work in a few seconds. ”

“I was considering a few minutes. ”

“As expected, one chief. Generous.”

Kang Juhyuk smiled and asked.

“You're getting measles because of your minimum wage increase? Why do people who live under this ominous sky think so differently? ”

“A philosophical point of view is to consult with the head of society. I'm from the door.”

“Even a chief would know better if he evaluated people with doors and hyguas like this. And then, what, can't you be a little more sensitive? ”

“Are you riding in the fall? ”

“You said a few minutes. Just bear with me a little longer."

Kang Ju-hyuk glanced out the window again with a glancing smile, and spent the rest time offered by Han Gil-jin. Then I came back to the state line.

“How did the African Economic Cooperation Practitioners' Meeting go? ”

Almost no change in his expression, Han Gil-jin became somewhat proud of this question from the president.

“I have a video of reporters visiting the Youngbin area. Would you like to see for yourself? ”

A news video appeared on the display in the seat.

JVN 1: 00 News

The anchor begins to speak to the screen.

“The Han-African Economic Cooperation Conference is taking place in the Cheongwa University Youngpoon. Technical support for precision, petrochemical materials, and energy related infrastructure. The results of this meeting of customized policy advisory in 40 African countries are amazing. The promised foreign economic cooperation fund alone is 2.6 billion dollars. Let's hear more about reporter Yoon Moon. ”

A young man appeared sitting on the floor of the conference room with the screen switched. [Limited Woo/KG Chief Chemistry Investigator]

- Polyamide compositions are patented in the global market. If you're going to do business in this situation, you're going to have to pay royalties to a lot of chemical companies unless you're going to steal the technology. It's bigger than the belly button. An epoxy resin derivative composition that can be made at the small-business level, even if the business size is reduced…….

As the young man's English was written in Korean subtitles and appeared at the bottom of the screen, the journalist's comments began.

“In addition to those who submitted the business plan in Mr. Lim Woo's opinion who participated as the representative advisor for private companies, practitioners from other countries are also interested. ”

As soon as the young man on the screen finished his opinions, his hands flashed everywhere.

- I have a question!

- From us!

- Ghana has been waiting for 10 minutes!

The young man turned to his seat in Ghana without panic.

- Yes, Ambassador Zuko.

- You recommended a German company, not a Korean company, to our methane gas business. Is that intentional? I don't really get it.

- Our research team looked at it in a number of ways, and the German Dussf refining technology was the most economical and reasonable.

- Still, I would like to work based on great research from Korea, or Mr. Lim Woo.

- No matter how sensitive I am to molecular computation, if this is the difference in nanometers, I won't mention it. But the difference between a methane extraction machine sold by Duffy and a local company is the size of a football and a ping-pong ball. That's why I put him in the business nomination. So please go back and discuss this with your home country.

The chief of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, sitting next to him, whispered to the young man. The young man smiled and said.

- Oh, but you can't think of this consultation as free. The mineral development plan should be accompanied by public companies in Korea.

Attitude of friendship that is faithful only to chemical logic, not to the interests of its own company.

A satisfied Ghana ambassador smiles, and his hands protrude from all over again.

- Yes, Ambassador Carmen.

- I have one question. You advised us to use the benefits of Angola's precision chemistry industry to invest in R&D at the University Institute, but we don't know the economic impact of this. What do we get out of success?

- I mentioned that Angola Kimtabi has a higher level of research than other countries, but I can't confirm the value of the economy. because studying new materials is not the answer to chemistry.

Ambassador Angola's questionable expression in response to the irresponsible young man caused a chill in the meeting room. A fighting atmosphere. Meanwhile, the young man's voice continued.

- Take radio waves, for example. When this was first discovered, there was no concept of radio. There was no radio. because radio waves are only perceived as one type of radiation. But what about now? To take advantage of this range of communications frequencies, businesses are betting astronomical money on countries. The Ambassador uses a smartphone. It flows into the cost of using frequencies. I would like to thank you very much for your economic cooperation with Korean telecom.

The atmosphere of relaxing jokes calmed down like snow. The young man naturally followed his opinions as if he had expected it.

- I believe anthraquinone dye at Gimtanby University can meet these expectations. Economic effects? Chemicals that are expected to make breakthroughs need to be studied at a level that doesn't ask this question. Who knows? Because the dye's durability and corrosion resistance is so high, it's going to be in every building in the world. The value of that loyalty will be that of economists.

Angola's ambassador nods with an impressive nod to the unruly chemist's answer.

The screen shifted and a reporter appeared in front of the conference room.

“Among the Foreign Ministry officials, Mr. Jungwoo, known as the 'Africa Special Agency’, is already known to have a billion dollar resource business in South Africa and Nigeria, the economic superpowers of the AU. JVN News Knight This chemist who appeared on the topic in today's invitation... …. ”

The edited article ended with the youth's past weaknesses.

PM 03: 14 - Chairman of Youngbin Museum

Jungwoo handed over a sip of water in a petting bottle. Throughout the morning, even at lunchtime, I was talking without any rest, and my throat was almost burning.

‘Ugh, I'm going to get thirsty. ’

He put on a microphone to look around at the AU Association officials who are still not open to questions.

I'm done reviewing the validity of the chemical industry. It's almost time for me to participate in another event. Do you have any questions left...

Mr. Han!

Dr. Lim Woo!

My hands are up and down. Jungwoo smiled bitterly at the chief. The chief who was in charge of the event put on the microphone.

Your Mr. Han has not rested for five hours at all. All that's left is a practical consultation. Why don't you set it aside from the Foreign Office staff and let him go?

A moderately consensual group of officials stood up and began applauding Jungwoo. This chief smiled and applauded Jungwoo with a shy look on his face.

“Good job, Jungwoo. I never thought I'd be able to build a partnership with all 40 countries. Africans are looking to stay up late for at least a year. ”

“I can't do that. I beg your pardon.”

One of my assistants approached me as I stepped out of the hallway to say hello to the other employees.

“Mr. Lim Wu, I'll take you to the King's Office. ”

“The Imperial Court?”

“This is the conference room at the headquarters of Cheongwa University. Representatives from other companies have been there since 3: 00. ”

“Ah.”

It seemed to be the place to conduct an interview with the President.

Walking along the guard and assistant, Jungwoo reattaches the loose tie as he walks inside the blue bar.

A large table with white cloth neatly placed, luxurious teacups, and a jungle led to a room with a wireless microphone individually faced those who had already come through the door.

Representatives of chemical companies in the top 20 in the country.

The majority of the contacts I knew from other companies were researchers, so I felt a strange face for friendship. They also felt strange about Jungwoo.

You just don't care? The atmosphere is cheap. ’

Seats only for adults in their 50s and older. He coughed and sat in the designated seat of KG Chemistry, and a middle-aged man with the CEO's name tag turned his head.

“I finally meet the rumored Mr. Lim Wu. ”

“Hello."

The boss, Xingtae, who brushed his hair neatly, looked carefully at Jungwoo.

“Actually, I'm familiar with Mr. Jungwoo. You worked on a big project with our total care team twice? ”

“Suddenly, ”

“Thanks to Mr. Lim Woo, the company's reputation and stock price have increased a lot. Thank you for your time. ”

“What I get is what I get. ”

Fortunately, a common interest emerged and even in a stiff atmosphere, I was able to continue a loving conversation.

Then, Jungwoo lowered his voice as if it was just the two of them talking.

“You don't talk at all. ”

“It's a very uncomfortable place to have a conversation between government and entrepreneurs. We want to pay less tax, and we want to make amends in the best interest of the law. The government is against it. ”

“Is Mr. Sims uncomfortable, too? ”

“Yes, but the conversation with the president is not the purpose here. ”

“Really?"

He smiled and pointed to Jungwoo.

“The director of Yoon Jae-gil Center. I've been pressuring Mr. Woo to scout for a whole year. I wanted to see the talent that the head of the center wanted. I'm a little greedy, actually. However, I also think Eugene Chemical is not a company that can contain the broad chemical spectrum of Mr. Lim Woo. ”

Xingxiang, who gave up after expressing his nondirective scout intentions, said he had seen the AU Economic Cooperation article well, holding up his cell phone.

"Knights?"

Jung picked up his cell phone and looked for a video. We were dealing with today's work in great proportion to almost every medium.

‘Let's just wait, the ranking of the swordsman.... ’

He had finished his taste when he saw that he was ranked 56th. Meaningless shame. Yoon Il-sul who does nothing is 15th, and the word Fall is 10th.

‘I'm full. I don't look at the news at all because I'm an economist. ’

Jung, who was trying to distract him from the ranking of the swords, stayed in first place.

[Acid rain in races]

Acid rain?

Thump.

As the door of the Royal Family opened, Jungwoo's aide hurriedly stepped in.

“I'm sorry. The president has an urgent matter and has canceled his entire schedule today. ”

“Urgent business? What's that?”

You duck your head, apologizing over and over again without answering someone's question.

“A security guard will show you the way out. ”

The Advisor opens the door wide. Some of the CEOs stepped out in an uncomfortable way to train the Ass Dog.

I saw Jungwoo, who woke up next to me.

“Whatever it is, it's a big deal to cancel the official schedule like this. ”

“I see.”

Jungwoo also got up from his seat.

Anyway, the schedule of the day that had been emotionally pressured was ending.

PM 04: 07 - State Conference Room at Cheongwa University

The president was unable to connect the conversation by looking at the picture that appeared on the situation monitor.

In the immortality of the race, the surface of Treasure No. 20 Davo Tower and Seokgah Tower 21 were badly melted by an invisible fire.

Subsequently, the general buildings throughout the city were melted with the same phenomenon.

The first Secretary of Public Security, who received the initial situation report, continued to report.

“…… This has happened dramatically since 2 pm. The cause is presumed to be local rainfall on Gyeongju in the morning. So far, 156 buildings and 10 cultural treasures including national treasures have been found……. ”

The president who was listening to the report asked.

“The building melted to this extent, but there were no casualties? ”

“No life-threatening injuries have been reported yet, but Gyeongju Health Authorities have reported a triple life-threatening increase. ”

“Tell me more. ”

“Most of them were outdoors on a foggy morning. But there were objections from doctors that this alone could not pinpoint the cause. ”

The president opened his eyes.

“Does it end with nothing? If the patient has tripled, there's a problem, and we need to find the cause as soon as possible so we can prepare. Who was sent to the site? ”

“The Department of Environment and Environmental Survey will take samples and analyze them at the Race University Lab. But it doesn't look like we can solve environmental and medical problems at the same time in a short amount of time. This kind of rain is not known before.... ”

“Nothing, nothing. What the hell is in the Korean Crisis Management System? ”

The president and his aide were silent at the same time.

Then.

The Chief Minister turned to the President.

“I do.”

“What!”

“The chemist who correctly predicted the atmospheric components and minimized the damage done last summer alone. I'm sure he hasn't left the Qingwa yet. ”

Chief Jung picked up the phone right in front of him and called the head of the security team.

“Yes, Captain Park Chil-ho. Please go to the entrance right now and find Mr. Dangwoo. ”
