Black Corporation: Joseon

Episode 991: Clear-Eyed Madman (16)

“Yes?”

“What a disgrace to Your Majesty’s lofty name that You share in the delusions of small people!”

Da Vinci and Gong Yajang, who were startled by Hyang’s words, urgently waved their hands to dissuade Hyang. But Hyang smiled mischievously and refused to dissuade them.

“I said something to Jang Yeong-sil before, and I think I should say it to you as well. Don’t you even know what’s going on? Are you going to do something fun like this just between you?’

“Haona…”

“Don’t worry, Jim will eat the curse you will eat. And if you have luggage, it won’t be a bad thing for you, right?”

“Yes?”

Looking at the two people who didn’t understand properly, Hyang explained, still smiling.

“Budget and people.”

“Ah!”

Da Vinci heard Hyang’s short explanation. Wow, Gong Yajang’s face brightened in an instant. Even though Da Vinci was rich, compared to incense, it was premature and hemorrhaging. Also, when incense came out, even Woo, the head of the research center and Area 51, tended to take a step back. In other words, there was no time left after work was over. Instead of making things piecemeal, they would be officially recognized and receive support for people and materials.

In the end, Da Vinci and Gong Yazang bowed down before the incense and answered,

“Please, Your Majesty, guide the foolish little people!”

“Guide them.” Until then, let’s just walk together.”

* * *

“….. So, I decided to do some work with Prince Da Vinci. So, I will inform the emperor in advance.”

Hyeon, who heard what he said, unable to tell whether it was Hyang’s notice or a report, managed to compose his expression and replied,

“Please think about Spring and Autumn. This is all I can ask for, So-son.”

When Hyeon asked, even using the word “So-son” instead of “burden,” Hyang grinned and replied,

“How can I disobey the Emperor’s orders? I will do my best.”

After finishing his business, Hyang walked out of Daejeon. Hyeon sighed softly as he watched Hyang leaving with a confident gait.

“Haa~. “I can’t believe someone who has passed Mangu (81 years old) can make such a correction… Tsk!” After finishing his

appetite, Hyeon looked at the subjects gathered in Daejeon. Starting with Han Myeong-hoe, the ministers who filled Daejeon were Hyeon’s leaders. As soon as he received attention, he turned his head and looked somewhere else. Seeing that, Hyeon sighed again.

“Haa~. Yes, what power do you have?”

“I’m sorry!”

“It’s already happened. Let’s get to work. What department did Daum come from?”

“Yes, Daum…”

He seemed to be concentrating on work again, but his true feelings were completely different.

‘Ah! I’m jealous! I also have to quickly move up to the situation and escape to Shinji. ! The atom that Wu gave birth to is now one year old… Ah! I want to go to Shinji! I have to make electric wires!’

“your majesty?’

“Oh, it’s nothing! Let’s look at the report first…”

* * *

‘Tae Sang-tae was with Da Vinci and Gong Yajang!’

The rumors that spread around Woo’s office quickly turned Area 51 upside down.

“It’s been a while since Taehyang came forward in person, right?”

“It’s been at least 10 years.”

“Hmm…”

The senior craftsmen of Area 51 stroked their chins while having this conversation.

“Should I join in or not…”

The senior craftsmen pondered whether or not to participate with more serious expressions than ever before. For the craftsmen of Area 51, especially those who handled iron, incense was a special thing.

-If I do as he commands, at some point I will become a famous general.

By working with fragrance to the extent that this unwritten rule exists, we have been able to achieve a lot of progress.

However, the reason they were worried about participating was because of the ‘absurdity’, another characteristic of the fragrance’s work.

-The reason why confidentiality is so well maintained in the egg that he conducts. Because even if I tell you, no one will believe me. I am the only one who said this for no reason and am treated like a crazy person.

“Hey, you crazy guy! No matter how unusual he is, there’s no way he would do such a crazy thing, right?”

Thanks to the history of fragrances that straddle the line between ‘extraordinary’ and ‘insane’, craftsmen were concerned. In addition, it was Da Vinci and Gong Yajang that made the craftsmen worry more seriously.

– Da Vinci is an outright crazy guy.

-Pretty crazy guy Gong Yajjang

“Would a guy who flies people on a flying machine filled with gunpowder be stupid? He’s crazy!”

If da Vinci was an ‘outright crazy guy’, he was also a formidable person.

“That guy definitely suits Mr. Jang better!”

“It’s a shame that Taehyang was still at Shinji. If he had stayed at Shinji, he would have been robbed many times!”

The craftsmen who saw Gong Yajang’s private workshop said this in one voice. A combination of these two people and scents?

“This is a real concern…”

“It seems better to volunteer rather than being dragged away, but…”

This is precisely the essence of the concerns of senior craftsmen. The young craftsmen got along so well with Da Vinci that there was already a saying, ‘Da Vinci and the gang.’ However, the word ‘young’ had the same meaning as ‘immature.’

Supervising young but inexperienced craftsmen was difficult for Master Gong alone, and the assistance of senior craftsmen was essential. However, there is nothing better than spending your energy on something that is more likely to fail than succeed.

“What should I do with this…”

While the senior craftsmen were pondering over and over again, they heard a strange rumor.

-Tae Sang-tae has designed a new power engine!

“A new power engine?”

“Really? Really?”

“I can’t stay still like this!”

The senior craftsmen who heard the rumor threw away their worries and went to the workshop.

“Let’s wear it too!”

* * *

Hyang, who decided to work with Da Vinci and Gong Yajang, rolled up his sleeves in earnest.

“First, let’s try floating the model again.”

“yes.”

Hyang stroked his chin as he watched the experiment fail to float properly and tremble.

“Hmm… I see… As expected…”

“What’s the problem?”

In response to Gong Yajang’s question, Hyang extended two fingers.

“First of all, I can see about two. One of the pinwheel wings, which is in charge of going up and down, looks too small. I need to make it a little bigger.”

“Oh, I see!”

“And…”

Hyang was speechless for a moment, looked at Hohyung and the sketch once again, and then continued.

“Of course, the power engine is the problem. The steam engine is too big and heavy compared to its output.”

“The small people also thought that was the biggest problem. But the problem was that there was no other solution. I thought about using gunpowder, but gunpowder…”

Da Vinci trailed off and Hyang lowered his head. I nodded and accepted the words.

“I still can’t control it properly, but gunpowder is completely impossible.”

“That’s right.”

“Let’s think about this a little more.”

“yes.”

So, the first step was to increase the size of the main rotor.

“The problem is that if the engine changes, the rotor has to be designed again from scratch. Hmm…”

Hyang continued to think about his thoughts with a perplexed expression.

‘The internal combustion engine is the best answer, but there are many problems, starting with oil. No, oil isn’t the problem. The most important problem is deriving the concept of the internal combustion engine.’

“And the internal combustion engine is not my taste…”

One day, as he was pondering over and over again, Hyang jumped up from his seat.

“found!”

What the fragrance discovered was the ‘Stirling Engine’. It was the power engine that best suited the taste of fragrance – the ultimate external combustion engine. After finding the answer, Hyang traced his memory and began to draw the outline of a Stirling engine.

Five days later, Hyang visited Da Vinci and Gong Yajang with the sketch he had drawn.

“In the past, you have tried various things while building and improving steam engines, right? As I was reflecting on the memories I had accumulated there, I came up with this framework. What do you think?”

Gong Yajang, who was looking closely at Hyang’s exposed face, asked Hyang.

“Water or steam is not used?”

“That’s right. Isn’t the space and weight that water takes up in a steam engine enormous? If we could reduce this part, wouldn’t the chances of success be a little higher? What do you think? Is it possible?”

“Hmm…”

Gong Yazang, who had been looking closely at the sketch of the incense, smiled and looked at the incense.

“I’ll have to try it, but I think it’s possible. I think it’ll be fun.”

“Is that so? Then let’s start by creating a proper framework.”

In this way, Gong Yajang and Hyang began researching new power engines. And the craftsmen who heard the rumor and intervened shook their heads when they saw the results up to that point.

“How can you come up with an idea like this…it’s definitely crazy.”

The work didn’t end here. The task was also sent to the institute’s epidemiology research department. Hyang, who delivered a primitive model of the Stirling engine and a report on the results of the experiment, added the following.

-I don’t know the exact principle because it comes from accumulated experience. Identify the principles and laws why this happens.

“Haa~.”

“Our Lady…”

After checking the contents of the assignment, the imperial researchers let out a long sigh, and the monks from Europe made the sign of the cross and sighed.

* * *

Thanks to a change in manpower and budget, the ‘new external combustion engine’ soon revealed itself as a proper engine.

Ta-da-da-da-da-dak!

“It seems like a success.”

“I think so.”

“Hey!”

Da Vinci, the master craftsman, looked relieved as he watched the miniature model moving with a loud mechanical sound, and the other craftsmen cheered.

“Okay then! Let’s attach it to the flying frame.”

“yes!”

After confirming that the model engine was running properly, the craftsmen followed the instructions of the head and inserted the power engine into the newly manufactured model blade frame. After confirming several times that the power engine was properly positioned, the craftsmen gave a hand signal to Master Gong and stepped back.

Fieldmaster Gong, who brought with him kindling, lit the wick attached to the heater of the engine, took a few deep breaths, and turned the pinwheel attached to the blade with his hand.

Ta-da-da-da-da-dak!

Flute!

The pinwheel turned with a loud mechanical sound and the sound of the wind, and soon the blade rose upward. The blade, which had risen about 2 feet (approximately 70 cm) from the floor, soon lost all of its strength and fell to the floor. At that moment, the workshop was filled with the shouts of craftsmen.

“It’s up!”

“It’s up!”

“Waaah!”

Although the force was weak and it floated upward and then fell again, it was not hesitating, it was definitely floating. Hyang also spoke to the craftsmen with a face full of joy.

“Shouldn’t we have a drink on a day like this? Everyone follow us! Buy me a drink!”

“I’m devastated!”

* * *

After the first experiment was successful, da Vinci and the craftsmen devoted themselves to development even more enthusiastically. But soon they faced another wall.

It was the problem of ‘fuel.’

“There are limits to coal. There is.”

“It’s too heavy for the calories.”

“It can’t help but be heavy. “Because it’s a rock.”

“We need to use something other than coal, so should we try using charcoal?” “It

’s too expensive. ” “

What about oil?”

“Isn’t oil expensive, too?”

While I was thinking about finding the optimal fuel, someone spoke up. “

What about oil?”

At that moment, Hyang’s eyes lit up.
