Episode 729: Jang Yeong-sil’s Legacy (6)
After inspecting the railroad track factory, Hyang slowly began to feel anxious.
‘I’m starting to feel more and more anxious about this. I don’t think what Tae Sang-tae said back then was just foreshadowing.’
Just before Hyang left for Shinji, King Sejong said sothing aningful to Hyang about Shinji.
-There is sothing that will be the end of Jang Yeong-sil and the beginning of the emperor. Of course, there will be so headaches due to budget issues.
“At first, I thought it was just a few objects, but I guess it’s not…”
Hyang’s expression beca more and more serious due to the anxious energy creeping up.
“It’s not like I don’t know how Tae Sang-tae controls people, no, I don’t. “I know it well.”
Sejong was a man who made his subordinates work as hard as he worked hard.
This was not about unconditionally handing over work and ordering, ‘Do it!’.
After figuring out exactly what the person in question liked and what they were good at, he placed them in the optimal position and worked. He was a person who told people to do things.
Or, he grabbed critical weaknesses
and shook them while giving them appropriate carrots (mainly power) to make them do things.
Representative examples of the forr were Jinpyeong Anpyeong and Kim Jeom, while representative examples of the latter were Hwang Hee and Jo Mal-saeng.
And Hyang was the forr and the latter. It was a combined situation.
Of course, Hyang brought it on himself the most. The reason
Hyang created the research center and Area 51 was to promote his virtue in the na of ‘prospering the nation and strong military.’
Since he produced clear results in this area, King Sejong provided support. It didn’t stop.
However, Sejong realized that the incense was doing good work through the research institute and Area 51.
And Sejong never missed this. With the budget as a weapon, Sejong made sure to roll out the incense whenever necessary
. King Sejong clearly used this justification.
Knowing this well, Hyang began to beco more and more anxious.
“Your Majesty, have you found any problems in this factory? ”
Jang On, who beca anxious as Hyang’s expression beca increasingly serious, asked Hyang cautiously.
Hyang, who had co to his senses at Jang On’s question, shook his head.
“No, I just have sothing to think about. I’ve seen the orbital factory, so next. Let’s move it.”
“Yes, Your Majesty. Then, I will take you to the research and developnt buildings. Please get on the train.”
“That’s right…”
***
“These are the research building and the developnt building? I think they should be called ‘si’ rather than ‘dong’?”
As soon as you arrive at the entrance, get off the car and go to the research building. After seeing the size of the developnt complex, Hyang and Ian asked Jang On with a puzzled expression. Jinpyeong, who was sitting next to him, nodded eagerly with the sa expression on his face.
Jang On responded to Hyang’s evaluation with a humble smile.
“Because it is a place where a lot of dangerous materials and gunpowder firearms are used, we tried to space out the buildings, and it ended up like this.”
“Area 51 in Seoul has less space than here, but such incidents rarely happened. Of course, it’s good to keep so distance between people, but isn’t it even better to pay thorough attention to safety? If you take up this much space from the beginning, won’t there be a shortage later? ”
“Humans are forgetful beings, so the Great Emperor has commanded that it is better to create a space between people.
And if there is no space to build a building, the Great Emperor has said that it is best to expand it around the area.”
“Is that so? Then there is nothing we can do.”
‘Is this the situation before the start? ‘
Grumbling inwardly, Hyang continued to point out.
“It’s good to ensure safety by leaving space between buildings, and it’s good to increase the size of the buildings to provide more space for production and experintation. However, if it’s this large, it won’t be easy to move the objects. How did you solve this? Hmm… “Have we made many portable potter’s wheels?”
“We have made many potter’s wheels, but potter’s wheels alone have their limitations.
So the forr director
created a new object.”
“New product?”
As soon as I heard the word ‘new technology,’ my eyes lit up. Jang-on, who saw the scent like that, was about to open his mouth when he heard a bell ringing from one side.
Jingling jingling! Chi-ik! Cheek!
“That piece is coming just at the right ti. It is that one.”
Hyang, who was examining the object in question at Jang On’s words, cried out inwardly.
‘It’s a forklift! ‘
“The forr director and subordinates called that object a forklift.”
At the familiar na, Hyang unconsciously looked helpless.
“Sorry, but forklifts take precedence over everything here. I’m sorry, but please step back a little.”
As a forklift carrying a large piece of tal approached, Jang On pushed Hang’s group back. As Hyang’s group stepped back, the
forklift passed in front of them.
“You’re a minister.”
The forklift passed by. When Hyang saw the sight, he unconsciously uttered the word ‘minister.’ Just as Hyang said, the minister was a minister.
On the left and right in front of the slowly moving forklift, people holding red flags walked ahead, looking left and right with a whistle in their mouths.
And the forklift’s Craftsn were hanging on the left and right sides of the cab, looking at the surroundings. Next to the chimney, which was emitting black smoke, a small bell
was continuously chiming.
As the forklift passed by, Jang-on began to explain.
“The potter’s wheel is useful, but it has limitations due to its long length. “There are a lot of them.”
“That’s right.”
Hyang nodded at Jang On’s words. The boom, equivalent to the boom of a modern crane, was quite long. Therefore, it was easy to use in open spaces with wide open spaces, but there were various limitations in spaces such as inside a building.
Jang On’s voice began to gain strength due to Hyang’s positive response.
“However, in the case of forklifts, space is limited because teeth like the branches of a forklift are attached to the bottom. Thanks to this, they can be very useful when lifting and unloading items and assembling and disassembling them in the developnt building. Also, when maintaining items. “It’s very comfortable as you can easily lift and lower it.”
“I see. But I don’t rember ever receiving a report about the forklift?”
At Hyang’s point, Jang On’s face turned pale and he answered in a stuttering voice.
“The Emperor, who saw it,
told not to report it until I was sure it could be used properly.”
“Okay… I understand.”
Hyang had no choice but to groan and nod his head. What can you say when you say you did it because King Sejong told you to do it?
‘This is not a doubt, but a certainty..’
Jinpyeong intervened when Hyang was grumbling like that.
“Looking at things like this, I guess there’s sothing unusual about the iron horse, don’t you think?”
“The previous director thought about it, and there is one that is currently in production as a prototype.”
At Jang On’s answer, Jinpyeong imdiately turned to face the village.
“Brother, no, Your Majesty! “
“Phew~. Okay, let’s go. I’ll guide you.”
“yes. Please get on the fishing car.”
***
The fishing car carrying Hyang and his group arrived at the Cheolma Developnt Building. Hyang, who got off the fishing car, looked at the enormous size of the Cheolma Developnt Building and looked disappointed.
“It’s not surprising anymore.”
“Your Majesty! Please co in quickly!”
“Okay, let’s go. Go.”
When Hyang saw the iron horse being assembled or completed in the developnt building he was guided into, he whistled lightly.
“Hwiyu. It looks as solid as the one made at ho.”
“The first one I made was a really bad product, but now I’m confident that it’s perfect.”
Hyang, who was examining the iron horse while listening to Jang On’s confident answer, looked at the large wedge-shaped boat flag attached to the iron horse and asked Jang On.
“The flag is much bigger than ours?”
“Shinji’s deer and bison are large, so we had to put up a bigger flag.”
“The deer that live in the northeastern forest here are quite big, aren’t they?”
“It’s bigger than them.”
“Hmm…”
Hyang, who was rembering while listening to Jang On’s words, nodded.
‘That’s right… The deer I saw on my trip to Arica right before I ran away from ho at that ti were quite big.’
Hyang, who was reflecting on the mories of a huge accident that occurred in the 21st century, nodded and looked back at Jang On.
“I guess that’s possible. So is this useful? “
“It is usable at a certain speed. However, there are limits as deer roam in numbers of hundreds and hundreds in the area where the railroad tracks are laid, and herds of bison roam in numbers of hundreds or thousands in the southern area that is currently being developed.
Therefore, there is a limit to the ability for such a large herd of animals to roam. It is best
to stop for a mont and wait for the herd to pass, or to chase it away and then
speed up as much as possible to make up for the delay .”
“That almost didn’t happen when I ca this ti, right?”
Jang On imdiately responded to Hyang’s point.
“Perhaps the cavalry organized it at the right ti.”
“Ah…”
Hyang, who nodded lightly in response to Jang On, pointed out another problem.
“With the current iron horse, there will be limits even if the speed is increased, right? ”
Jinpyeong, who was next to Hyang’s point, nodded his head loudly. Jinpyeong’s biggest complaint was the speed of the iron horse. The speed of the iron
horse in general use today was similar to the speed at which a horse runs.
It was not slow, but the wide plains of Bukji Considering this, we need faster iron horses!
This was the consensus of railway construction officials, and Area 51 was also continuing to make improvents to solve this problem.
To Hyang’s point, Jang On smiled and answered,
“That’s why the forr director ca up with the idea. This is it.”
With these words, Jang On sent a hand signal to the craftsn standing behind him. The craftsn who saw Jang On’s hand signal imdiately ran sowhere.
After a while, the door of one of the parking garages attached to the developnt building opened and an iron horse ca out. It appeared.
Beep!
The iron horse that appeared made a loud noise. Seeing the appearance of the iron horse, Hyang opened her eyes wide and Jinpyeong scread in joy. “That’s
right ! This is the iron horse!”
The iron horse that appeared boasted of its enormous size.
“The iron horse I’m using now is so big it makes look like a child.”
“Yes, it’s a bit big.”
“It’s not a bit…”
Hyang shook his head at the word ‘a bit’.
‘I can’t believe I lived to see a high-speed steam locomotive in this era…’ The
huge iron horse in front of Hyang now boasted a similar shape and size to the monstrous steam locomotives that road around in the twilight of steam locomotives in the 1930s.
“This is it! This is it! ”
Unlike Jinpyeong, who was delighted to see the huge iron horse, Hyang examined the iron horse carefully and
asked Jang On a question.
“It is quite large… How many stokers will you have?”
“There are two. However, to ensure smooth operation, four passengers are required to ride. “I also plan to have three coachn who handle iron horses, not just one.”
“Three coachn?”
“One person handles the iron horse, one person watches the surroundings, and the last one takes a rest.”
When Jang On said this, Hyang imdiately pointed out the problem.
“If you want to be safe, let’s go in groups of four. Watching the surroundings also takes a lot of ntal energy. “I understand.”
”
If that’s the case, then the rest area is the problem…”
In response to Hyang’s point, Jang On showed the small space created between the iron horse and the tender.
“Make a rest area by making small rooms on the left and right like this. I made it for you. And here cos the side.”
“It’s okay…”
Hyang’s face beca more serious as he nodded.
‘Just looking at this, it looks like it took up a lot of budget… Are you mad about this? ‘
In the past, it was a fragrance that received a lot of criticism every ti it requested ti and budget from King Sejong.
‘The person who did that! and! It is unfair!’
It was a scent that made cringe with an inexplicable sense of injustice.
