Limitless Dream

The oil refined with ether was rocking the world, but as always, it was a story that ended with several lines of reports for Seojin.

“Really? That's how favorable international opinion is. ”

“Yes, I like that you've solved the oil environmental problem. Moreover, the decision to put all the costs of the renovation on the relief effort was a decision. ”

The voice of the secretary reporting international public opinion trends was exhilarating. The praise and respect that was poured out on Seojin seemed to feel as good as his work.

“And the number of members of the Ether Society has finally exceeded 10 million. ”

“Already?”

The Ethereal Society is a recent gathering of prominent physicists. The president is currently vacant and Professor Nitron has been acting on his behalf.

Members wanted Han Seo-jin to run the association, but even though it wasn't the one they wanted, he only left his name as an advisor.

Scientists around the world are now passionately obsessed with studying and learning ethers, regardless of their major.

In the early days of ethics, the focus was primarily on physicists and electronics engineers. Chemists and bioengineers did not show much interest.

Medicines, needless to say, were only mildly interested in other disciplines. There seemed to be no correlation between the ether and the medicine and the meaning.

The academic atmosphere had changed greatly since the beginning of applying the ether to regions other than semiconductors.

Anticipates disasters, develops amazing new drugs, and selects asteroids in space to bring them back to Earth.

Realizing that the ether could be applied to all disciplines, the attitudes of scholars changed.

Regardless of their field of study, scholars worked hard to learn the ether.

Such a fever tells the number of members registered at the conference well.

10 million people.

“Wait, but isn't there a dues fee when you become a full member? ”

“I know that I am receiving only minimal operating costs. The membership will be about 100 dollars a year. All members, regardless of rank, pay the same amount. ”

“$100……. ”

It's not much to look at.

However, we have to think that there are more than 10 million full-time members.

It has roughly 8 billion people in the world, so it's one for every 800 people in the world. In addition to silk scholars, all the other industries in the world are well represented.

“So the total annual membership fee is one billion dollars? ”

“Yes, it does. ”

“This is a municipality, not a conference. A billion dollars is a big city budget. ”

“Yes, that's why Professor Nitron is so excited. ”

“Are you excited? Are you in trouble? ”

It is enormous to pay a billion dollars in dues. However, there is also a responsibility accordingly. Isn't it a difficult task for a lifelong researcher like Nitron?

“You're very happy that you have a billion dollars in research budgets. He's filled with dreams that he's going to build an institution dedicated to the Society for Ether Research with dues. ”

If you walk through a billion dollars a year, it wouldn't be like building a private laboratory. Han Seo-jin felt the horror of the "crowd."

“And there were some questions at the conference. ”

“To me?”

“Yes, they seem to want to know if it's possible to use the ether itself as an energy source. Here's the official statement from the doctor. ”

Han Seo-jin took the documents from his secretary and examined them carefully.

The text was written in Korean from beginning to end. It was just as natural for Han Seo-jin to be Korean.

The questions in a respectful format were not very different from what the secretary said.

‘Can we use the ether itself as an energy source……. ’

Han Seo-jin was momentarily lost in thought.

You can do as much as you want to introduce ether as an energy source. It doesn't take very long. In a few months, you could be done with all the commercialization preparations.

But there are a couple of big reasons why you didn't.

One is the chaos caused by the collapse of the oil market. An enormous number of people will be in an economic panic and in agony. I didn't want to make that hell myself.

Even if we do introduce ether energy one day, we have to slow down the landing.

And the other reason is…….

"Renault craved the sun and perished. ’

Civilization environment that directly uses the ether as its source of energy.

I thought that building it would open a path to the future that Lenozian eventually experienced.

This was the main reason why Han Seo-jin did not directly introduce an ether energy source.

Humanity enjoying the Aether will finally discover the secrets of the Sun and follow the train that the Renault took.

It was hard to do it right now, but it could have happened a long time after I died.

I wasn't ready to prevent such a future completely.

‘Admiral…. ’

The first monarch of the Renozian continent, and a man who owes the solar system.

What civilization would he come from? What happened where he lived?

There was no way Han Seo-jin could figure out what had already happened billions of years ago.

The ship he came on turned into a top mantle to protect the Earth from the rush of the sun and became the cornerstone of the Earth.

Then where did he go, Admiral?

‘The life expectancy has run out, but it does not extend. But……. ’

It seems that eternal life is not impossible for such a person. No, it could be as easy as eating.

Is the Admiral really dead? ’

Or maybe he was disappointed in Renault and went back to another universe? To abandon this failed work and create a new solar system…….

Han Seo-jin turned away from his thoughts and looked around at the secretary.

“This is something I think I should answer directly through Professor Nitron shortly. ”

“Then I'll make arrangements. ”

The secretary didn't seem to have heard the answer directly from Han Seo-jin.

It is a precious power in itself to be able to use the ether directly as an energy source, when it is possible, and to know in advance what it is.

Of course, such advanced information should not be used in private, but there is pride in knowing what others do not know first.

After the secretary left, Han Seo-jin stood by the window and looked out.

Bustling forest streets with cars and crowds show the level of civilization that humankind has built.

He does not have the right to jeopardize this.

‘The ether is abundant, but dangerous at the same time. ’

Humanity's endless greed and ignorance meet the Aether, and its end is a rush toward nothing.

‘You must protect it. ’

Seojin once again firmly resolved his mind, looking at the bright sun from afar.

* * *

The South Korean government made a shocking decision.

General oil that has not been ‘ether treated’ has been submitted to Congress for distribution and unused legislation. I even set the deadline to the end of the year.

That is, once the legislation is passed, only a handful of oil can be sold on the market from the second half of this year. All other oils are "illegal oils."

Moreover, the contents of the legislation were not exhaustive.

With the introduction of mild oil, they exempted value-added tax for 3 years, deducted up to 20% of the total amount due, and permanently abolished the environmental tax, which accounts for the largest percentage of oil.

“Wait, so once the Seongjin Petroleum Act passes, how far will the price of petrol go? ”

“We're down to about 600 won by 1,500 won per liter. ”

“It's like 60 percent off the price of oil! ”

“Of course, three years from now, the VAT is going to be a little bit higher than 600 won. ”

“But it's half the price now! IRS, you fucking muggers! How much tax have you been taking? ”

“Parliament must pass the petroleum law! Let them through!”

The people turned on the lights and watched how the Seojin Petroleum Act would be handled in Congress.

However, there was a slight problem…….

“What, no quorum? ”

“I'm not sure how many members of Parliament are going to be able to go out and fill the quorum needed to pass the bill. ”

Thanks to the hard work of the government and prosecutors, there were not many congressmen left who could work properly in Congress today.

Elections were very busy because of the re-election, which was said to be a day away, and there were frequent outbursts of corruption due to the blade of government swinging candidates, and there were consecutive re-elections held in one area.

“But I look like shit. ”

“It's good for the Monastery Government to work hard, but that's why they're so low on administrative power, right? If you're trying to run a government business, you're not in the right place. ”

“Do you really think the slaughterhouse is going to drop out of the presidency with an assassination knife the entire term? ”

“Well, maybe it's not a bad thing that the president once decided to beat up the enemy.... ”

In fact, most of the proceedings of the slaughterhouse regime focused on "smashing." 90% of what you do is social assessment work. It doesn't even block the realm.

“It's good to be so ambitious about passing the law of oil, but we don't have enough quorum to pass the law because of the sword wielded by the government.... ”

“Can this pass this year, or this term? ”

“Yes, you can. We could elect a republican and pass the bill. ”

What someone said came true.

For a limited time, the government and the prosecutors put down their swords for political power. The political prisoner was released, and there were no attacks on the candidates for re-election.

But everyone knew. This silence is just a breather for the government to get what it wants.

It was so well equipped, and the Seojin Petroleum Law, which was pending in Parliament, entered into a full screening.

The legislation was passed unanimously at the Parliament meeting and came into force in September. Companies, agencies, and gas stations also provided enough time to prepare.

The oil industry was in great confusion, but there was not much they could do. The government's decision was supported by the people and even justified.

“But what about all the oil that Jeongseong and the distributors have been stockpiling? ”
