Deep Frozen - [LIVE]

"West Antarctica, Ebola Ice Shelf"

A thief seagull flies over the desolate, dark fog.

Wheeing...

The blade breeze lifts the fog and reveals a bluer ice sheet than the sky.

A long-standing ice plateau and ice valley shaped by compressed snow.

The thief seagull, without a hint of amazement, is accustomed to this deep, cold splendor, only seeking its prey and continuing its careless flight.

Then.

Somewhere on the floor, "Tak! ’There was a bubble burst.

The wings of the thief seagull reacted cleverly to see if it was food. As soon as the descent curve was drawn, air gushed out from the target point between the stars.

Tofu, tofu!

The approaching thief seagull senses an unusual atmosphere and quickly turns in a furious direction.

About a second later, a crack broke out on the edge of the ice plateau.

Boo-hoo.

And that was just the beginning, and part of the ice wall fell apart because of the cracks that spread through the zigzag in the shovel.

This huge chunk of ice, which seems to be too stuffy and slow to move, collapses into the sea as if a piece of domino had fallen.

Guaguaguaguaguaguayan!

A crowd of penguins and sea leopards huddle along the coast, crying out for the ice wall as they head away.

(South Shetland Islands, Sejong Base Glacier Research Division)

A glass bottle containing liquid that emits bubble air was fluidly shaking on the instrument.

Beevik.

Jung falls asleep on the table, raising Booth's head on the Shaker's completed signal.

I looked at my watch thinking, "Already?" And it was 7: 00 a.m. I fell asleep for two hours for a short blink.

“Ow, my shoulder. ”

Korea and Antarctica. Chemistry labs are the same every day.

Jungwoo sensed that the sensors of the surveillance camera equipped with every corner of the lab had reacted with tears as low as a ping stone and quickly shut up.

If you stay up all night obsessed with experiments, it will actually make no sense.

The arts filming, which began a few days ago, was not so difficult, but it was quite annoying that the appearance had to remain above a certain level.

As I pretended not to be conscious of the camera, I cleaned up my crumpled clothes and head, and I saw the celebrity sister who fell asleep like a rat leaning on the chair across from me.

Exfil and Exfil.

After granting entry, the women prowl around like assistants throughout the night, never leaving even in situations where they have to experiment.

Her sister, who was feeling popular, opened her eyes to let her grow up more. Nineteen years old, she said Chan was one year younger and became senior this year.

The accuser rubs his sleepy eyes and bites.

“Did it work?”

“I'm about to go into verification. Do you want to join? ”

“Yes!”

Baek Seoin rushes to the Fuddak table. The wind shook dangerously, unable to find a place to rest her head while sleeping on her shoulder as a pillow.

“Shouldn't you be laying her next to him? ”

“I'm fine.”

His head fell down with a chair armrest while exercising.

“Huh?"

Immediately before the collision, he put his praying hands on his cheeks and sat on the floor of the chair like a feather.

“… huh? ”

Baek Seoin smiled as he approached Jungwoo's embarrassed face.

“I slept in a shop habitually. It only takes three hours to make up because of the fever. ”

Adapting to sleep spots and lack of sleep time and speeding. I could only hear the hardness of the girl group.

‘There's no easy job in the world. ’

A moment later, the two gazes turned to the flask on the table.

“How do I verify? ”

“We'll take a look at the reagent reactions and assess whether they will work as intended. ”

Even after nodding once, there were so many questions that the accuser asked again.

“What did you say this was? I fell asleep yesterday. ”

“Tracing solvent. Once we start exploring, this substance will lead us to a particular protein that's been in the glacier for a long time. ”

“Yes, the Ice Shelf! ”

“Ice Shelf?”

“Ice protein. ”

“That's not exactly the term, though. That's why I came to Antarctica. ”

The refining brought out a micropipette in the form of a syringe.

“A certain researcher. Will you drop a drop on these Charlottes? You need to fit it roughly 0.1 ml. ”

“Yes!”

A litter of carefully extracted liquid in a flask was gently transferred into a glass bowl.

“Zero points work... good. I got one.”

Jungwoo just pulled out the reagent box from the refrigerator, shaking to the fingertips and completing the task carefully.

“Nice posture. Reducing the error in the experiment is that kind of delicacy. ”

“Heh, thank you. ”

Jungwoo opened the box he had brought out a total of seven test tubes.

Each glass vessel was dosed with a different reagent and then focused on the molecular world in the liquid.

Jungwoo's gaze, checking the results one by one, stayed in the last glass bowl.

‘Hmm……. ’

Diffusion intensity is expected and somewhat different.

It seems that an error occurred after using an induction reaction that was not normally used well because the original schedule was tight. I made a mistake that I did not know was delicate.

“Did it go well? I don't know. ”

Baek Seoin asked me with curious eyes. Jung, who was thinking about repairing, replied without taking his eyes off the molecular world.

“We were supposed to triple bond carbon atoms to octatetrien, and two double bonds stuck together in a square ring. Maybe all you have to do is convert cyclobutane into cyclopropane. ”

“Octa... Cycle... Can I help you?" ”

Jung, who had just escaped from the molecular world, thought of a mute explanation unconsciously, confronting the mute expression.

“Oh, sorry. I just need to shake it a little more so it mixes well. ”

If you were a regular chemist here, you'd put them back in the shaker and spend a lot of time in April, but fortunately, there were always useful ones for Jungwoo.

Jungwoo grabs the battery portion of the radio out of the front pocket of the robe in his left hand and the flask in his right hand.

Due to the cold, dry nature of Antarctica, this solution was a very suitable condition for free electrons to roam.

‘Gather round. Gather round. ’

Thanks to you, the dust clouds pour in.

"Heh heh. This is a tier 1 DEFCON deployment. ’

Jungwoo, who was trying to induce dense dust separation towards the flask, realized that a ship being watched nearby was in an electrostatic situation.

No matter how assisted you are, you don't have to suffer pain together.

“A certain researcher. ”

“Yes?”

“Remaining solution to mix while making sunscreen before. Where did you put it?”

“That's the shelf. Do you want me to bring it?”

“Yes, thank you. ”

As the ship leaves to look for the beaker with the bromic oxide solution, the mist pours a speck of dust over the glass jar.

Due to the large-scale movement, static electricity swept through the table area as expected.

"Ugh."

The nearby Jungwoo had to feel the stinging through the end of the bone and the backbone.

Pain is pain, and free electrons that have turned into reactive plasma have begun to elicit the desired binding reaction in the compound.

Jung pretends to shake the flask as soon as the dispatcher returns.

The messenger who put the beaker on the table suddenly gives you a flask to make up for what you're doing.

“Would you like to shake it? ”

“Me?”

“Well, well. ”

In Jungwoo's smiling gaze, Bae Seoin holds the flask in his hand.

Shake. Shake.

From blue to green, from red to purple whenever there is a flutter in your hand. Dramatic changes in tracing solvents with varying color at the time gave way to a certain mouth.

‘Let's see. ’

Jungwoo noticed a change in the interior of the solution that was administered the dust separator in the gap.

The reactions in the molecular world, once chaotic, were brighter than reality, but could not be shown to the recipient.

“Oh, my God. How could you do this? ”

“The phenomenon that some researchers are seeing right now is called the Belusov-Jabbotinski response in academia. ”

“It's... difficult. ”

“You can think of the molecules of a gentlewoman dancing with each other, looking at each other for the purpose of booking. It's kind of like a stage where the whole flask is lit up with dazzling lights. Some students are DJs who coordinate it. ”

“Really?"

“You can't be serious.”

The accuser smiled.

“It's too much to understand the principle itself, so you have to be roughly conscious. ”

“This is so much fun. ”

“Stop shaking. It's mixed up enough.”

“Yes, heh heh. ”

Whenever I shook it, I put the flask in front of me in a strange light and explained it to my 19-year-old, and I woke up.

“Sis... ”

“Hey, Somi. If you're patient, you should come take a look at this. ”

“To what?”

As I turned my head, my eyes widened.

“What is this? ”

“That's what was going on in the machine all night. ”

“Wow, did you put a light bulb in this? ”

“Idiot. How could you think that? ”

Despite the dangers of pierced ozone and the stunning scheduling of skilled photography, Jungwoo's innocence in the exterior view of chemistry was somehow only built as a smirk.

“It doesn't usually work, but it's good that I'm shaking it like this. ”

“You're lying. ”

“I'm not lying. What did he say? This phenomenon... Below... Below... ”

Jungwoo, who was clearing out the reagent box, pronounced it correctly because he was having trouble naming the reaction.

“Belusov.”

“That's right. ”

With a thankful look on my face, I suddenly felt relieved.

“Belousov? Is that a human name? ”

Jungwoo pauses, as the latter's pronunciation is almost native. Jungwoo was even in his mouth with the name behind him.

“Zabotinski.”

“Zhabotinsky?"

“Oh, my God. Does Somi speak Russian? ”

“I only learned to say hello because of the fans. ”

“Just a greeting? Still amazing. Even the accent is alive. ”

You bow your head as if you were ashamed of Jungwoo's admiration. Baek Seoin crossed his brother's arms with a big smile.

“Somi says she likes to pronounce it in a foreign language. English is very articulate. ”

“Really? Somi researcher. Try" cerium IV ammonium nitrate. "It's the compound that's causing the fluorescent light. I didn't change the light bulb. ”

“cerium four ammo……. ”

"Yes, buttered pronunciation. It's a natural gift.”

A compliment reminded me of her cheeks.

Cheers.

- In the pantry, 20 minutes until lunch. The breakfast menu is fried chicken soup with egg sauce. And it's minstrel.

The radio that Jungwoo was wearing rang.

“Now, did you hear that? Let's get organized. Breakfast. ”

Jungwoo divided the finished solvent into a small, finger sealed container. The two sisters diligently assisted in packing their belongings in a dedicated exploration bag.

After about a decade.

While Jungwoo was staying in front of the refrigerator for a while, he whispered as if he was cleaning the shelves in the corner.

“Hey, Somi, you got a lot of points. ”

“What?”

“Beelwu! Zajwonski! Didn't I just say that? ”

I stabbed her in the side, covering her mouth, and told her not to do it.

“Stop it, please. Many of the other groups are from abroad. ”

“If I get a chance, I'll keep pushing. You keep pushing. We should at least exchange numbers. ”

“Wha, what effort? No, it's not.”

“No? Then don't push me? ”

“That's ……. ”

The image of my sister making fun of my shy sister was filled with warmth in a hard lab that was only an unknown experimental device.

After all the cleaning work, Jungwoo in protective clothing opened his mouth.

“Get some rest when you both get back to your quarters. The expedition starts tomorrow at 9: 00, so just keep it that way. Have you been trained to be cautious when you move at extremes? ”

I said, "Yes, with the staff and the manager. ”

“Good. That's the end of today's research project! Off to work!”

“Work! Yay!”

When I heard a very cheerful answer for staying up all night, Jungwoo felt that bright energy was contagious.

I've been in Antarctica for a week.

Everything was going smoothly from where it was.

Jung, who was wearing warm gloves while singing a nostril, grabbed the researcher's doorknob cheerfully.

Sweet.

“Good morning, Jungwoo. ”

As soon as the door to the Glacier Research Society opened, the man who came as if he was waiting flinched.

“Surprise. How long have you been here? ”

General PD Na glory stood in front of Jungwoo with a bright smile.

“I just got here. I heard that Jungwoo woke up. ”

Where did you hear the news? Jungwoo's hesitant expression pointed to a camera installed in the corner of the lab or the PD.

“Checking performer trends in observational arts is mandatory. ”

“You make sure he never sleeps? ”

“I'm not the only one, the choreographers are in shifts. ”

He appeared in front of Ur Jungwoo, along with a camera crew.

“Do you have any plans today? I'm tired. I need to rest. ”

“No, I'm just going to accompany you to the lifeguard. ”

“You're just going to film me walking like this? ”

“Our producers are always at their best. Haha.”

I, the smiling PD, started walking beside Jungwoo.

“Here is a video of you creating an artificial cloud in the sky at Sejong Base. We have finished communicating to the channel manager, Jungwoo. The Internet was slow, so it wasn't until dawn. ”

“Maybe it's only after we open it, right? ”

“Oh, you can't do that. You can decide whether or not to disclose it to Jungwoo. ”

“Really? Thank you for your concern. ”

The Ozone-related accidents and contingencies captured therein were ideal for avoiding the negative images of chemistry prevalent in Korea.

Jungwoo bows his head, thinking it was a good thing. Then I looked into the eyes of the PD, who was in an upbeat atmosphere.

‘…… Hyena PD. ’

I still haven't forgotten the warning I heard from Yoon Iseol.

“The reason you handed me the video was because you wanted something else from me? ”

“Then will you listen to me? ”

“No.”

I got lucky when I saw Jungwoo rejecting the cut.

“It turns out that all of the recent uploads on the channel were taken from action cams owned by Mr. Jungwoo. ”

“Considering the circumstances. ”

“Picture quality is mediocre, but the sound is terrible. Because of that, I didn't really capture Jungwoo's charm. I ran out of hits. ”

Obviously, as a broadcaster, he was able to pinpoint the reason why he participated in this talent. But I couldn't swing it, so I kept my mind straight.

“That's why I'm worried. because most of my chemical experiments are simple labor. Even with so many people following you, there's very little chance of finding a good scene. ”

“Fun scenes in craft. The placenta was staged. If you don't have it, you can build it. Haha.”

My back was pounding.

“Build?”

“The role of the crew is to prepare for a quiz contest with the Antarctic outdoor squeezing expedition and ranking Korean food trucks against foreign base members and visitors. ”

“The mission. Why do I feel like the actor's hardships are just gonna be a fun part of it? ”

Kim Seok-han, who was filming Jungwoo, swooped up his mouth to make sure he had the right Mac.

I told Jungwoo not to give in.

“As long as you're serious about your cast, I have a mission to tell you. There are, of course, personalized rewards. We will help you upload timely footage from our professional photography team to your channel, not from your action-cam. Director Kim in front of me is a cameraman who has no followers in the country. ”

“Broadcast video? ”

“Mr. Jungwoo, you can see and select it yourself. ”

Offers to ease the effort it takes to manipulate my Action Cam in a separate time. Given the channel's growth, as well as the link to KG chemistry advertising, it was never a loss.

‘Whatever the mission is, it only takes a day more. ’

Jungwoo asked.

“I'm talking about the video you're about to receive. Can I make it public on my channel before broadcasting? ”

“Do you want to accept that as well? ”

“If only there was one mission I had heard of. ”

“I don't intend to give you complicated missions, either. ”

I held out my hand.

“So, you promise to be in front of the audience? ”

When I asked, I felt something strange, but my offer was too sweet to refuse.

“I promise.”

Shaking hands, slightly anxious Jungwoo's expression, and the sobbing look of me PD were recorded on the camera.

Kim Seok-han, who zoomed in on this scene, seemed to have a good picture of what subtitles would run underneath the screen in the style of me, PD.

[What this choice will result in. Limited-edition crew never expected it. (Dog barks))]

The next day.

Two or two!

The multi-purpose helicopter AW-101 landed at Sejong Base landing site, raising a noise.

South Korean crews, who were waiting under the spectacular helicopter support of the British maximum-security detention center, each exuded resilience.

In particular, Shin Cheolwoong's mouth was wide open the entire time he landed, and his eyes and feet had to spit it out.

“Dr. Cam, you're so big. Lend me all their main vehicles. How many are there? ”

“I heard the radio. I think I can ride 40. ”

In response to Sang-hoon, the telecom officer, Shin Cheolwoong expressions that he is sorry.

“If I had known I was going to be so comfortable, I would have participated in the expedition. Do you want to apply now?"

“It's too narrow to get to the station staff. Leave the commander alone. ”

“If it's tight, you're out, too. What's the point of not being a researcher? ”

“I'm a required person. Take care of your morning and evening patrols so you don't lose sight of the base. ”

“Tsk.”

Shin Chul-woong, who was looking at the ideological disciplines, added.

“I heard from the commander that the West Antarctic Node is very cold there. Don't go back to sleep. ”

“Tell a bad story, very much. ”

Once the helicopter propeller is completely stopped, the two crew members open the back door wide.

“Welcome! England Crew! ”

The crew waves their hands as Shin Cheolwoong shouts.

“Come on! Let's get the stuff out of here. ”

While the base crew were loading the helicopter with their exploration gear and survival tools, the man with the blue snow off the cockpit approached the Hero.

“Hello, sir. I'm Colonel Joshua. ”

“Oh, Colonel Joshua. Welcome, welcome. ”

The pilot bows his head and asks.

Where is Mr. Han?

Shin Cheolwoong points to the Summer Lab in front of the helipad.

I'm packing my expedition gear. I'll be up in a minute.

I heard that when you come to Sejong Outpost, you'll get a special sunscreen that can withstand murder sunlight. Is it true?

That?

You point to a box the size of a hunk of shrugged metal just loaded onto a helicopter.

That's it. It's loaded inside.

Good, good. We can move without any risk.

That's why our Lim Woo crew went through so much trouble.

Now that the entire Antarctic continent has had months of trouble with the ozone layer, Sejong Base's phase was already penetrating the sky because of the existence of that sunscreen that allowed its only outdoor exploration.

Shin Cheolwoong turns his eyes to the building where he was wondering what other strange chemicals he would show during the expedition.

“Treasure! Korean Treasure!”

Colonel Joshua, who was observing the landscape of the base, gazed at the five young women walking to the helipad.

Very pretty ladies

In response to Colonel Joshua's whistling admiration, Shin Cheolwoong's gaze also turned toward it.

“Barry Fritti? Ah, celebrity girls. ”

She was wrapped in protective clothing, but even with her small exposed face, when she stood in the helipad, it made me think that this was the world on TV.

“Huh? Hold on. I thought you said you were going to follow me as an assistant. ”

Shin Cheolwoong's question was answered by me, the PD, who was moving around with the equipment.

“I gave Jungwoo a mission. ”

“Mission?”

“Captains only of the Youth Expedition. Lead the Girl's Fives.”

“What is that……”

I lost my PD to the chopper like the wind.

Shin Cheol-heo, expressing his ignorance of the English language, watched ten people and five idols get on the helicopter.

And then a few minutes later,

Jungwoo, carrying his bag on his back, walks up to the helipad.

“Jungwoo. ”

“Commander, we're leaving now. ”

Next to Jungwoo heading to the helicopter, Shin Cheolwoong pointed to the broadcasters who were in charge of the PD and to the tip of his chin.

“What happened? Aren't five celebrities interfering with your expedition? ”

“The more people you have, the better off you'll be. The problem is... ”

Jungwoo smiled once.

“…… the youth expedition itself. ”

“Why is that? ”

“I don't have a release date. ”
