Can You Make A Nuclear Weapons Too?

Chapter 66

[Jaewoo Group hints at entering the battery business.]

A month later, the news article covered Jae-woo's advancement into the battery field.

The total investment amount is KRW 300 billion.

We have excluded any mention of all-solid-state batteries in the media yet, because there is no reason to instill unnecessary caution in advance.

Still, there is no need to further provoke domestic manufacturers as well as Japanese battery makers in a situation where they are paying attention just by the news of our entry into the market.

Until the final result is released, the facts about the all-solid-state battery will be kept strictly confidential.

“Probably right now, we should also target the lithium-ion and lithium polymer markets first.”

Hyun-cheol, who had been reading newspaper articles the whole time, suggested a blueprint.

Actually, I think the same way about that.

It would take at least five years to have a proper all-solid-state battery production infrastructure, but in the meantime, it is a necessary choice to lay the foundation to support the department.

"of course. And in the meantime, we have to develop products that can be used sufficiently in the IT field.”

“What do you think of the automobile market?”

“I think it will also take time to bring a perfect electric vehicle to the world. There is no problem with the functional part, but we have to elevate all aspects to the level we think.”

“Probably so. By the way, will Hyeonu’s car listen to us?”

Hyun-cheol nodded his head as if he agreed with me, and then suddenly expressed concern about that part.

It's not unreasonable, but if you propose a collaboration to change the paradigm of the automobile market to those who are focusing on the internal combustion engine right now, you will only hear the sound of crazy people.

That's the part I'm worried about too.

“I also want to start an automobile company, but things are not going well right now. No matter how I think about it, there is no reason for the government to permit the establishment of a new car company.”

“I wouldn’t like it if the company I used to go into bankruptcy, sold, absorbed, and decided to set up a new car company in Panguk.”

"right. The whole country and the business world were not in an uproar just with the problem of the gear car being absorbed by Hyeonu right now. Besides, if government officials are going to make an electric vehicle that they don't understand, no matter how strong a blow you blow, you won't get approval for the project."

“Then what are you going to do now?”

“First of all, we will discuss the matter after visiting Saudi Arabia. The urgent thing right now is to finalize the K9 export issue.”

At first glance, it was almost 2:00 PM.

In order not to be late, you need to depart for the airport immediately.

As he slowly got up, Hyun-cheol suddenly reached out his hand.

“Go carefully. The company doesn't go bankrupt without you, so don't worry too much here. Ah! Just in case, it is difficult to fall in love with an Arab woman and come in holding her hand.”

[Can I have a drink?]

As I was admiring the clouds passing below, I heard the voice of the flight attendant.

As she inadvertently turns her head, she smiles at her smirk, then points to the water and drinks in her cart and speaks again.

[If you need anything, please order it.]

[Ah! A glass of juice, please.]

As she spit out her words, her and her eyes met again.

Clear features and clean teeth.

Because she was a beauty that is rarely seen, my eyes went wild regardless of her will.

“Twitter.”

For a moment, Jin Hyun-cheol's words came to mind and he burst out laughing.

In fact, how many men would not pay attention to such a beauty?

Just as he was about to follow the thought that his words were no joke, suddenly she placed a sheet of her paper with her drink on her table.

“·················ogue.”

A number was written on the piece of paper that she looked at with a puzzled mind.

She looked at her with embarrassment, but she had already driven her cart to the other side of her.

‘Tsuk, Arab women didn’t mean that they were far from free-spirited.’

She smiled and crumpled up her paper.

What is a free-spirited love affair with the subject of living a life where you don't know where the beings that are aiming for you will come from right now?

But at that moment, the head of the bodyguard, who was sitting a little far away, suddenly coughed.

“Hmmmm.”

saw it

Seriously, there's no way they'd missed that, whose purpose is my bodyguard.

Damn, I'm glad I crumpled up the paper, and I'd have lost a lot of face if I had done it.

“I brought a few magazines to avoid boredom.”

While he was constantly yawning in boredom, the head of the bodyguard came from somewhere with a few thick magazines.

A magazine that mainly deals with the trends of US IT companies, which seem to have been provided by airlines to their customers.

When asked for the source, he left the words that it was placed in front of the first class seat and headed back to his place.

"Hmm······."

I turned the page almost unconsciously.

After all, is it possible that the contents of a magazine will catch your eye in the yard where my mind is all about business-related things anyway?

"Huh?"

But then, a very familiar portrait caught my eye, and at that moment, my mind went blank.

“Elon Musk?”

The article was about a coup that took place at X-.com owned by Elon Musk at the time.

After the merger with Confinity, X-.com's employees, tired of Elon Musk's self-righteous management, tried to drive him out of the company's leadership position.

But that's not what surprised me.

When you think of Elon Musk, the first thing that comes to mind is Tesla.

It was because the existence of Tesla's first founder and engineer, Ever Hadd, flashed through his mind.

‘Actually, the pioneer of electric vehicles is not Elon Musk, but Ever Hard.’

Elon Musk simply recognized the value of the company they created and invested in it.

Of course, it is true that his outstanding management and creativity had an absolute influence on the growth of Tesla, but the Tesla company would not have existed without Everhard and his partner Mark Tarpenning.

‘By the way, it was about three years after Eberhard founded Tesla, maybe? If so, I'm saying that he's currently preparing for a start-up or personally conducting research... Then I'd rather hire him? No. I don't think it would be bad if I just set up a company in America.'

It wasn't an unreasonable thought.

In fact, pioneering the electric vehicle market in Korea in this day and age would be unreasonable.

Rather, because the market size is large and the United States, which is tolerant of accepting new cultures, may have better conditions for me.

Besides, it won't take much investment right now.

After all, Elon Musk's initial investment in Tesla was only a little over $100 million.

'It will take several years for a mass-produced car body to come out, and it will take a long time to install all-solid-state batteries there, so a large amount of investment will not be required for the time being.'

No, it doesn't matter if you miss your expectations.

By that time anyway, the amount of money coming in through Samjeong and the research institute was astronomical.

It won't be affected by lack of money.

'It wouldn't be bad. If only the battery factory is located in Korea, there will be no concern about the leakage of core technology.

The thought quickly branched out.

What immediately came to mind was Ryan, who by now is killing time hard against politicians in the United States.

The thought followed that perhaps it would not be as much work as asking a single person for him.

[Everyone, passengers…….]

I was so engrossed that it was already before I arrived in Saudi Arabia.

It was a business trip that I thought would be boring, but I feel like the energy I had suddenly run out of is replenishing.

‘Ever Hadra…….’

**********

[Welcome, Mr. Jean.]

At the airport we arrived, Saudi government officials were waiting to meet us.

Kindly Hassad mobilized troops to escort us, and after a long time the procession entered Hasad's mansion near the royal palace.

[Get off.]

The scale of the mansion we arrived at was beyond our imagination.

After all, this is the place where the Crown Prince of an oil-rich country lives.

The strange thing is that the smell of food is waving all over the place, and it looks like a banquet is being prepared for us.

[welcome.]

The first thing that greeted us was Crown Prince Hasad.

Only the second meeting.

However, with a friendly attitude as if he was dealing with an old friend, he grabbed my hand and led me inside, and we were in a situation where we attended the banquet before we could even relieve our poison.

[The test K9 sent from Korea has already finished moving to the test site. Contrary to concerns, there were no problems with maneuvering in desert terrain.]

Hasad's interest in K9 was still there.

Especially in the desert, I feel very satisfied with the fact that there is no problem with mobility at all.

In fact, he was a little worried about that part, but fortunately, it seems that there were no problems in the driving test.

[Tomorrow, you will be able to see the live shooting scene in person.]

[I also have high expectations. Especially in the case of smart shells, I have already confirmed it with my own eyes through the news.]

He also seemed to be aware of the Yeonpyeong Island shelling incident.

The situation was not unreasonable as it was an incident that spread all over the world through the American media.

In fact, it was something we didn't want to think about very much, so while we were about to respond with a light smile, he mentioned the anti-aircraft missile supply business he had signed with the UAE this time.

[Are you supplying anti-aircraft missiles to the UAE?]

[··········.]

[According to our Ministry of National Defense, the performance is expected to be great, but can it be delivered to us?]

In an instant, embarrassment flooded in.

What's the reason you don't like it when you buy something?

However, Saudi Arabia's anti-aircraft missile business and fighter field are markets that have been dominated by the United States so far.

Unlike the small UAE, the problem is that it could lead to a clash with the United States.

[That seems to be a situation we should consider a little.]

In fact, it was because of that gap that self-propelled artillery could be exported.

The self-propelled artillery market was a field that the United States did not care much about.

If the US had been greedy for that part, in fact, this contract would not have been easy.

[is that so?]

Hassad, fortunately, seemed to know the reason for my hesitation.

Even so, the expression on his face is not happy in the end.

Somehow, I am a little worried about the future.

Traditionally, Saudi Arabia has not been a place where the United States pays attention to arms imports.(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

[Well, let's study that point step by step.]

[··········.]

*****

Kugugung!

The next day, K9 showed off its performance in the field.

Starting with TOT shooting, which is his special skill, and then maneuvering after shooting.

And the ability to fire that existing self-propelled guns cannot match.

In the future, if the improvement of the automation system and the replacement of the operating system are performed perfectly, the performance improvement will be more certain.

At that time, it would not be unreasonable to say that it really surpassed the PZH2000.

[That's great. In particular, the power of smart cannons is more than I thought. Oh my gosh! I'll be able to see with my own eyes how to destroy a moving vehicle with a cannonball.]

A constant exclamation spit out from Hasad's mouth.

As such, the contract has been concluded.

Not surprisingly, as soon as he returned to his office, he mentioned detailed schedules for delivery.

[About 100 units can be delivered by the end of next year.]

[Can't you hurry up a little more?]

[At least, it is possible because the line is being expanded recently. And since training on operation must be done anyway, just because you deliver goods doesn't mean that you can immediately deploy them on site, so don't be in a hurry.]

[I hadn't thought of that. Okay, so the first part will be delivered by the end of next year. But, of course, education is done in Korea, right?]

[I think we need to negotiate with the military for that part. It is said that Jaewoo is responsible for functional education, but tactical education requires the help of the military.]

As he spoke, his gaze kept moving to the back of him.

A boy who seems to be around 15 years old at first glance.

It is clear that he is not an ordinary person enough to go in and out of Hasad's office, but the fact that a child is in such an important position is somehow strange.

[But who is that?]

He asked out of curiosity.

At that moment, Hassard glanced away and said with a faint smile.

[My cousin, Prince Bin Halman. At a young age, I was particularly interested in this field, so I allowed the visit.]

[··········.]

In an instant, I just turned into ice.

empty halman.

He is the one who will eventually overthrow Hasad and be reborn as the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia.

fuck.

Prince Halman made eye contact and smiled at me.

After that, he boldly walked towards us and spoke to Hassad at first.

[Thank you for respecting my opinion. I thought that this country definitely needed the weapons of the Jaewoo group.]
