Episode 276 [A-Class Awakened Person (2)]
A few days later. The Minister of National Defense held a press conference on the air.
It was an event to announce the clearing of the Kaesong Plain and the march to the north.
[… In this way, our military joined forces with the A-class awakeners and eliminated the ant nests that had settled in the Kaesong Plain. Starting with this operation, the military and governnt plan to recover the land north of the ceasefire line.]
It was good news for the first ti in a long ti.
After the presentation was over, reporters poured out questions.
[If you are an A-class awakened person, are you sure you are an awakened person who has been naturalized? Have you beco an awakened person belonging to the governnt?]
[That is an awakened person. Although we are not part of the governnt, we have decided to continue to cooperate with the governnt as we do now.]
[Why is the person who did such important work not here? Why is the identity of the awakened person not revealed?] [
He is a citizen of the Republic of Korea. The governnt has a duty to protect the identity of our citizens.]
[Are you saying the Awakened do not want it?]
[Yes. If he wants, we will let you know right away.]
However, the governnt did not want his identity to be revealed.
People knew, and his identity would be leaked, but he wanted to buy as much ti as possible until he could settle down in Korea. Kyung-hoon shook his head after hearing the press conference playing on the radio.
He was planning on staying in Korea anyway. Without Eve, we couldn’t communicate well except English, and living abroad was just uncomfortable.
Most of the information he knew was about Korea. He also had so Arican information, but it was difficult for him to do anything on Arican soil.
The press conference was still going on, but Kyung-hoon turned off the radio.
You have arrived at your destination.
I could see buildings being built outside the car.
Kuromana Digital Complex.
Not long ago, tall buildings were being built where the industrial complex was.
Unlike Kyung-hoon’s world, in this world, the IT bubble of the 90s collapsed with the ergence of monsters.
So, this new business complex that was created later was also being built in the na of fusing new technologies, mana and digital.
Although it was a grand na, it was only a nominal na and only renad printing houses and apartnt-type factories were being built.
Fortunately, engineers who wanted to develop new technologies related to mana maintained small ventures, but they were all limited to small companies.
Most of those companies were gathered in this building.
[Mana Digital Venture Center]
Kyung-hoon parked his car in the underground parking lot and got on the elevator with his companion.
“It was originally a place where a gaming company was located…”
Kyung-hoon’s companion gave him a puzzled look as he muttered to himself.
“Are ga companies also entering this venture center? How amazing. I know that most ga companies went bankrupt after the IT bubble… “
It wasn’t because of the collapse of the IT bubble. There was no way the ga companies could survive while soldiers and awakened people were fighting monsters outside.
Of course, the number of people who wanted to play gas at ho did not decrease, but in a world like this, there was no way society and the governnt would understand and support such companies.
“I think I was mistaken for a mont.”
“Ah, yes.”
The middle-aged man smiled vaguely at Kyung-hoon’s words. The person who visited here with Kyung-hoon was an accountant at a large investnt company.
As he said, the accountant connected to him by a black marketeer was closer to a multinational company than a black marketeer, the investnt company he connected to was no ordinary company.
Thanks to this, Kyung-hoon was able to proceed with work comfortably, but the accountant who was suddenly called in was left wondering how things were going.
Helping young investors investing in Mana Digital companies.
“There is good news thanks to the developnt of mana generators and item manufacturing, but this is no different from an IT bubble. Other companies don’t have physical products. The developnt of the mana generator also turned out to be a lucky move. “Honestly, I would advise you to quit,”
he honestly advised when he first t a young investor. It is said that it is easy to lose money when investing in mana-related companies…
But as always, investors did not listen to his words.
‘And then in the end, it goes bankrupt….’
Judging from the fact that he pulled out A-listers like himself, he seed to have a very good background, but venture investnt was not sothing he did in the background.
Since I had given advice, I had nothing to worry about. All I had to do was do my job and get paid.
He researched the data as requested by the investor, and now it was ti to et with the investnt target.
As the elevator went up, he explained what had happened.
“I selected three companies and scheduled three etings. I mainly looked at the developnt potential, technological capabilities, and developers’ careers. The company’s financial situation was completely ignored. “It wasn’t very aningful because the financial situation was tight anyway.” “
Originally, we only selected two companies, but we added the AI developnt company you ntioned.” There were
more AI developnt companies that the investor requested additional etings with than other companies. There were many problems.
Other companies do not have products but still provide interdiate results, but this company did not have anything like that.
It was the first company that the accountant excluded when selecting etings.
Kyung-hoon and the accountant visited three companies one after another.
“I’d like to say hello. This is Younghyun Yoo, CEO of [Magic Robotics]. “
This is the investor. I am in charge of consulting. “
“Oh, sorry! “I think I was mistaken because you are young!”
The first eting at the company started with the CEO mistaking the person.
”We are currently developing a robot based on a mana generator. Our goal is to develop multi-legged combat robots first, build up technological capabilities, and finally develop humanoid robots that help humans.” ”How far has the
developnt progressed?”
”The robot drive has been completed with a mana generator, and the mana for the mounted weapons has been completed. We are developing a part that contains . There was a bit of a problem, but there was news recently that item manufacturers had gained new technology. “If we cooperate with item manufacturers, I think we will be able to overco the difficulties quickly.”
The accountant frowned at the explanation of the developnt team leader.
Kyung-hoon could also understand why the accountant was angry.
The developnt team leader’s explanation was full of typical rosy hopes.
If you listen closely, you will see that almost nothing was actually made.
“In the end, what we have created so far is a mobile multi-legged robot that runs on a mana generator.”
That alone was not a small technological advance, but it was no different from a robot that runs on an electric motor.
It seed difficult to actually create not only the humanoid robots they dread of, but also multi-legged robots to fight monsters.
The mana weapons used by robots were completely different from the item weapons used by humans.
Even if it was engraved with the sa pattern, there was no way the bullet fired by the robot would contain mana.
The accountant looked at Kyung-hoon and shook his head slightly. It ant there was no hope.
However, Kyung-hoon told a different story from what the accountant thought.
“I will invest.”
Not only the accountants but also the employees gathered in the conference room for the presentation looked surprised.
However, Kyung-Hoon was willing to pay fully.
There was enough money in the paper company account, and he was able to help with any obstacles.
There were still items left in the subspace.
There were items like the machine gun that had been made for Shane, and there were also combat drones powered by mana stones.
After signing the contract, I was able to overco the difficulty by simply showing it to the developnt team.
The president and company employees cheered at Kyung-hoon’s words. My salary was also falling behind, so I was able to take a breather.
The situation at the second company was no different.
“Nice to et you. This is William Hahn, CEO of [Manarey]. “
I am an investnt advisor. The investor is the person next to you.”
“Oh, sorry.” I
started the eting with the sa mistake and said,
“I have many years of experience working at a U.S. military company.” I ca back to help my holand, which was struggling with monsters, and started this company to apply the various characteristics of mana stones to weapons. “
Currently, mana stones can only be used as generators. The goal is to use such mana stones to give abilities to weapons used by ordinary people and awakened people. “If human firepower, such as shells or cannons, hits monsters, the current situation will change quickly.” Perhaps
because the CEO was making the announcent himself, he seed much more proficient than the first company.
However, Kyung-hoon asked questions like it was his first ti at work.
“The explosives won’t work because of the shield. “What do you plan to do?”
At Kyung-hoon’s words, he seed to be lost in thought for a mont.
“Hmm… this is a security issue… but since you are here to invest, I will let you know.” “I
have already found the manajin that can damage the shield. I’ll have to research how to maintain manage and strengthen the attack, but it looks like a missile-level hit could puncture the defense shield.” “Oh, that’s amazing!” The accountant exclaid in admiration at his
words
. Unlike the first company, the accountant seed satisfied this ti.
But Kyung-hoon didn’t stop asking questions.
“It wouldn’t be profitable to kill regular monsters with missiles. There is no way you can kill an elite level or higher just by punching a hole in their shield.”
The representative’s face hardened at Kyung-hoon’s question.
“So, we are currently experinting with various explosives. “We are looking for an explosive that is effective against defensive shields and can shock even tough monsters.”
As expected, this company was blocked in an important area.
And Kyung-hoon was able to solve the blockage.
“I will invest.”
The CEO looked at Kyung-hoon with a dumb expression on his face.
In this world, the subway hasn’t been taken over by bats yet.
I had to look elsewhere, but Kyung-hoon was the poop of a bat monster. I knew very well that guano could be used as a monster bomb.
After the second eting, Kyung-hoon looked disappointed.
“The priority is to develop weapons to deal with monsters.”
The accountant answered Kyung-hoon’s words with a straight face.
“This is a war situation. Society is still running, but right now, the only ones that make money or show potential for developnt are awakened people and military equipnt.” To be
precise, the only industries that are actually growing are those related to awakened people. The developnt of military equipnt continued to fail, and weapons continued to be produced. It was just being wasted.
” So, the previous two companies that develop military weapons are still realistic. But the company we are eting with this ti is so absurd that the accountant shook his head at the door. Above the slightly dirty door was the company na and a large log
. was drawn.
[Eden AI]
“The company na is interesting. Does it refer to the Garden of Eden in the Bible? So does this an that this company creates new humans?…” The accountant was right. That’s what Eden ans
. It was.
Kyung-hoon was looking at the logo under the company na.
There, there was a drawing of a woman holding an apple with a bite.
It was the first woman. ‘Eve.’
