[Distinguished guests in the hall. So, from now on, we will conduct a marine injection verification test of K-SLBM of the Ahn Chang-ho.

With the announcement, the hall became as silent as a mouse.

Ahn Chang-ho, who has already disappeared under the water, is nowhere to be seen.

A rubber boat was floating in the sea to determine the exact location, and through the announcement that followed, people soon realized that the location of the rubber boat was where Ahn Chang-ho was diving.

[Ahn Chang-ho, which is currently undergoing operational evaluation, is equipped with six vertical launch systems.]

Prior to the launch, the staff informed the approximate specifications of the Ahn Chang-ho.

The main focus is on the vertical launch system involved in today's test.

However, the president's gaze, who seemed to want to hear more than just revealed parts, turned to me, and I immediately took a step closer to him and whispered explanations.

“The vertical launch system we have developed is capable of ejecting up to 12 tons of weight from underwater to out of water.”

“Twelve tons?”

“Yes, the missile is heavy, and the canister capsule that protects it is not too heavy.”

“Hey, what the hell are you pushing that much weight with?”

“Mostly, we use the cold launch method. But the problem here is that even cold-launch methods have to use solid propellants to create the pressure to displace that much weight.”

“You mean using solid propellant inside a submarine?”

The president asked with a puzzled expression.

After all, there are only a couple of things that need to be overcome in order to carry out the combustion process inside a submarine.

The president, who understands that, was certainly great.

“I understand your surprise. In that case, not only would the launcher have to withstand temperatures exceeding 2500 degrees, but it would also have to overcome enormous internal pressure. So we use the mixed gas method as in the case of the United States.”

“What specifically is different about that?”

“Once you burn a rocket propellant, it's the same to get pressure. However, the coolant is released in the final process to prevent the high-pressure gas and heat generated in the combustion process from coming into contact with the missile's canister capsule and the inside of the launcher. Then the temperature inside the launcher drops rapidly.”

The president nodded at the lengthy explanation.

As if he had understood it all.

Soon after, he turned his gaze to the sea where the inflatable boat was floating, and he suddenly threw out an outrageous word.

“I think I will miss this day quite a bit.”

“·················ogue.”

“If I step down now, I will never see these ministers again.”

I understood his words later, and smiled awkwardly.

For a moment, the president, who put his hand on my back with a smirk, continued to speak implicitly. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

“In that sense, I think I have been very lucky. Frankly, who other than me has witnessed such a continuous increase in national defense power during his tenure?”

"that's······."

I picked up the words I spit and swallowed them.

If I had to say something in this situation, I thought the atmosphere would become more gloomy for nothing.

But then, the president's expression, who looked at me again, revealed his firmness again, and he made an unexpected statement.

“To be honest, I am prepared for the regime to take over.”

“·················ogue.”

“So I’m going to do what I can during my tenure and step down.”

“What else is that…….”

It was something unusual, so I immediately looked at him.

He glances around and whispers in his ear taking advantage of the announcement that is just coming out.

“The Korean helicopter business.”

The Korean helicopter project meant the KHP project led by the Korean government before the return.

In the future, it will be extended to small armed helicopters (LAHs), a truly large national project.

According to history, 2006. In other words, it should have started in June of this year, but since there have been so many projects in the meantime, I wanted to skip it.

Eventually, the history of that part seems to be replayed.

“But now the budget is…….”

“Anyway, considering the exploration and development period, the budget to secure during my tenure is only tens of billions, so what do I need to worry about?”

I heard it and so was it.

Surion, which was created as a result of the KUH project before returning, also had a budget of tens of billions of won in the first year.

Even so, I can't shake the feeling that it's a bit sudden, so I stare at him and he jokes around.

“Why, does Chairman Jin think I’m going to pack a lot of shit?”

“Is it possible? No, who said that about such an important business?”

“Who is this, the representative of our party, Rep. Lee Pil-yong?”

“You mean he said that in the face of the President?”

“Did you have to? What I said to the people around me came into my ears. Anyway, he seems to think the KHP business is shit.”

If true, it was an absurd idea.

To describe the business of dealing with outdated mobile helicopters as shit.

If such a yangban becomes the presidential candidate of the ruling party...

'Damn it, no matter how improbable it is, the thought of it is terrible. In that sense, Rep. Lee Joo-hwan is definitely....'

Sadly, the one that came to mind at that moment was Rep. Lee Ju-hwan.

If you are ignorant of national defense like the opposition parties, the ruling party, and the representative presidents are all ignorant of national defense, of course it would be better for me to have someone like Lee Joo-hwan become the president.

Of course, he himself was said to be an ignorant of national defense, but at least he was a person with a willingness to listen.

“So he will eventually announce the business . . .”

[Let the count begin.]

Just as I was about to ask, the announcement came again.

The SLBM jumps out of the place where the rubber boat used to be with a continuous count.

It immediately spewed out huge flames and soared straight into the sky.

"Oh oh!"

The president looked at the missiles soaring with a bewildered expression.

But that's not the end of the situation.

Soon, another missile jumped out of the water and flew into the sky following the same trajectory. The fourth missile also repeated the same process.

“It’s a great sight.”

The missile soaring into the sky through the haze that filled the sea was like a scene from a movie.

Somehow, it feels like watching nuclear missiles launched by a country devastated by the opponent's nuclear attack as a last resort.

In other words, it feels like seeing the final means of mutually assured destruction try to do its job right before your eyes.

"Hmm······."

As for what he was thinking, a long sigh came from the president's mouth after a moment.

When I look at him with a puzzled mind, he puts his mouth to my ear and says:

“Looking at it, I am terrified. If we assume that there was a nuclear weapon, not a conventional warhead, it would be the beginning of the end.”

“If it were a nuclear weapon mounted on a missile of that weight. Even if all six shots were hit, it would result in the deletion of a certain country, so it is not unreasonable to say that it is the beginning of the end.”

I looked back at him with an indifferent expression on my face.

For some reason, the president says with a smirk.

“Chairman Jin sometimes doesn’t know what’s inside.”

“·················ogue.”

“I said this because I thought that North Korea’s nuclear development problem was serious, but it seems that Chairman Jin has a desire for nuclear weapons.”

He smiled awkwardly at that.

Well, it would be a lie if I said there was no greed.

Especially as a being who lives in an area with such a complex environment.

“By the way, how much does that SLBM warhead weigh?”

As he deepened his thoughts, he spat out the question again.

Why didn't the question come up?

I took a deep breath and said.

“The maximum warhead weight is 4 tons. One thing to keep in mind is that the amount of gunpowder is not that much.”

“Then what do you mean you filled 4 tons?”

“Heavy metal.”

“Heavy metal?”

“The destructive power of ballistic missiles comes mostly from the impact energy that comes from acceleration. So there is no need to fill all the warheads with gunpowder. Moreover, in the case of heavy metal, it is possible to damage the hit area more extensively. In short, it is a missile with destructive power comparable to that of a tactical nuclear weapon.”

In fact, it is an exaggeration to say that it is comparable to a tactical nuclear weapon.

No matter how small a tactical nuclear weapon may be, it is a nuclear weapon.

But the fact is that the destructive power is so great.

Perhaps the president understands that.

Boo woo woo!

At that time, Ahn Chang-ho, who finished the injection test, appeared out of the water.

A truly overwhelming presence.

The majesty of the ship, which is unbelievable for a submarine weighing only 3,000 tons, can be heard everywhere.

“When do you expect to be officially commissioned?”

The president also asked with a hazy gaze, as if he was drenched in emotion.

When I glanced at him, Lee Yong, CEO of Jaewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering, answers instead.

“I plan to go into service around February next year when the final test is over. Eight months later, the second ship, the Choreographer and the third ship, will be commissioned one after another.”

"Oh oh! So today is not my last event.”

“If there is no special event at that time, of course you should attend.”

The president smiled with a happy expression on his face.

Soon after, he turned his gaze to Ahn Chang-ho again and continued speaking as if complaining.

“But from the 4th ship, all-solid-state batteries will be installed?”

At that question, I looked at CEO Lee Yong again.

With your eyes as if you were going to explain that part.

But, as if dealing with the president was burdensome, he looked embarrassed, and I finally answered again.(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

“Yeah, that would increase the operational efficiency to a point where it can’t even be compared to what it is today. Hydrogen fuel cell-based AIP including X-type rudder, not just all-solid-state batteries. And sound tiles using meta-materials and self-developed sonar systems. It’s going to be something that we put everything we can do into it.”

At those words, the president's eyes darkened again.

I wonder what he was thinking, and he smiled and patted me on the back as he looked at me slowly.

“I don’t know if the opportunity to say these words will come again, so I do it in advance, but thank you for that, Chairman Jin.”

“Yes, thank you too.”

******

[The government and the Ministry of National Defense announced a plan to develop a Korean helicopter this morning.]

A few days later, the president announced a helicopter development project, as he had told me.

Ironically, it was Lee Pil-yong, the leader of the ruling party, who opposed him the most.

However, the president did not give up in the end, and in the end, CEO Lee Pil-yong went out to demand the president's departure from the party.

[CEO Lee Yong-jae directly opposed the government's Korean helicopter development project this morning. This led to opposition from both the ruling and opposition parties [...]

The same was true of opposition leader Lee Yong-jae who showed a negative reaction.

What he insisted on was raising suspicions that there was some kind of collusion between military personnel and companies through the helicopter development project.

Considering that KAI is the only place in this country that can develop its own helicopter, it was aimed at me as a result, and in that situation, just being there is nothing like an idiot.

“CEO Lee Yong-jae, please stop the baseless slander.”

Unbearable, I finally held a press conference to protest.

Rather, until I demand a formal hearing.

However, Lee Yong-jae's words without any evidence received criticism like a storm of public opinion, including politicians, and in the end he apologized, but it was too late.

[This morning, CEO Lee Yong-jae resigned as the representative of the opposition party in a sudden, unable to overcome public opinion and internal pressure. Rep. Lee Joo-hwan is being considered as the new representative [...]

[Rep. Lee Yong-jae expressed his position today that the resignation of the representative office has nothing to do with his challenge to the presidency. As a result, it is expected that a typhoon will blow in the opposition parties following the ruling party.]

“Rep. Joo-Hwan Lee will eventually come to the fore. Anyways, isn't the situation a bit ambiguous? This is because it is no longer possible to distinguish which is the ruling party and which is the opposition.”

KAI CEO Ahn, who was watching the news together, clicked his tongue and agreed with my self-talk.

It was because of the policies of the opposition party that changed direction after the change of party leader, but apart from other things, the code with the current government is more similar to that of the ruling party than the ruling party, so even I am confused.

“Anyway, have you decided on the development direction?”

"of course."

I turned the laptop screen I was looking at at CEO Ahn's question to him.

CEO Ahn, who had been concentrating on the image cut on the screen for a long time, blinks his eyes and asks.

“Hey, what is this?”

“What would you like? It is a Korean-style mobile helicopter that we will develop in the future.”

“No, I mean. What is this rear-facing tail rotor?”

“It's a means of enabling high-speed maneuvers. With that, the cruising speed of the helicopter we are developing will be over 460 kilometers per hour.”

"...helicopter cruising speed reaches 460km?"

Can you make nuclear weapons too?-154
