“president?”
“okay.”
The newly born golem smiled and shouted at me.
“president! president! president!”
Small in stature, with narrow shoulders and a cliff chest…
No matter how much she is a golem, she only pursued functionality and gave her a body that was too plain for a woman.
So instead, I paid a lot of attention to my face.
She had a face like Michelangelo’s.
A slender body and a sculpted face.
It’s a bit hard to come here and say this, but
She had her own charm.
hiss-
I took out a shopping bag from my inventory.
There were clothes inside.
He gave it to Kim Seo-yeon and said.
“Take her and put her clothes on.”
“Yes, boss.”
Kim Seo-yeon took the newly born golem and entered the house.
In the meantime, I was thinking about what to name Golem 2.
‘What’s the second most common name after Seoyeon?’
When I searched the Internet, the second most common female name in Korea was ‘Seoyun’.
I added Lee, one of the most common surnames, to it and set it up as ‘Lee Seo-yoon’.
“president!”
The golem came out of the house wearing a tracksuit and ran towards me.
I told the golem her name.
“Your name is Lee Seo-yoon.”
“Lee Seo-yoon? president? This boss!”
“The boss is me, and you are Lee Seo-yoon!”
Just like Kim Seo-yeon did in the beginning, she too spewed idiots.
But it doesn’t matter.
It will go through a stormy period by this evening, and it will be fully matured by tomorrow afternoon.
Golems are good because they grow fast.
and-
Lee Seo-yoon started to look around with eyes full of curiosity.
Grass and trees around the workshop, everything will be new to her.
fluttering-
A butterfly flew in and hovered near Lee Seo-yoon.
Then she reached out for the butterfly.
just-
A butterfly landed on her finger.
Lee Seo-yoon brought her face closer to the butterfly and looked into it with big eyes.
A slender girl looking at a butterfly.
It was a good scene that I wanted to include in the angle.
however,
thump-
She put the butterfly in her mouth with a nimble motion.
I cried out in bewilderment.
“Spit it out! You are not eating that!”
Tue-
She spat out the butterfly.
Then Seoyeon Kim came up to me and opened her mouth.
“You know the boss…”
She was twisting her body as if she wanted to say something to me from earlier.
“why?”
“Are you eating today?”
“what?”
“It is charcoal grilled. You ate the day I was born.”
“Ah, it was.”
On the day Kim Seo-yeon was born, the three of us went shopping at a downtown mart and had a barbecue with the three of us, including the manager.
“Do you want to eat again?”
“yes! I really want to eat!”
Then Seoyoon Lee also shouted.
“I want to eat too!”
.
.
.
I went shopping in downtown Icheon with my manager and Kim Seo-yeon.
Lee Seo-yoon, who was just born, kept it in her inventory while shopping.
If you release it in a place where there are many people, it can cause accidents.
Then, he returned to the studio and prepared a charcoal fire.
While I prepared the fire, they washed and cut vegetables and set the table.
profit-
Thick Korean beef sirloin and black pork pork belly are placed on a wire mesh.
profit-
And freshwater eel was also added.
There is a freshwater eel market in front of the downtown mart.
When I said that I would grill it in the yard, he immediately caught a live freshwater eel and trimmed it well.
I also bought a box of condiments to sell.
Half of it was salt-grilled, and the other half was seasoned and grilled.
A well-cooked eel was placed on the plate in front of them.
“it is delicious! It looks ugly like a snake, but it is so delicious!”
The manager made a fuss about how delicious it was.
At the direct sales place earlier, they said that it was disgusting and that they would never eat it themselves.
.
.
.
After dinner, we all drank tea together.
I asked the manager.
“How long does it take for the factory to upgrade to level 6?”
“Upgrade to level 6 in 246 hours.”
She understood the intent of my question and continued.
“If the elixir extraction plant had 100 levels, diving 1,000 meters would have been ridiculous. You could have entered the deepest part of the Earth’s oceans naked.”
In the meantime, the factory was operating non-stop, collecting a considerable amount of Elixir, but it was not enough to explore the deep sea for a long time.
If the factory is upgraded to level 100, the amount of elixir extracted per hour increases by 20 times compared to now.
That’s enough to get into the Mariana Trench, the deepest part of the ocean.
‘I want to quickly upgrade to level 100.’
To be honest, it was very burdensome to upgrade the factory before.
An increase in the amount of elixir extraction per hour means an increase in the amount of gold consumed per hour.
Since the gold in the warehouse was simple, I was under a lot of mental stress because I was worried that I would suffer from starvation.
But now there are 150 tons of gold piled up in the warehouse.
With gold to spare, the upgrade of the Elixir Extraction Factory felt slow.
Whether you have a lot of gold in your warehouse or not, the factory upgrades at a constant rate, so you have no choice but to be patient.
It took about 5 years to upgrade to level 100.
“No worries! With diving equipment, you can explore the deep sea with a small amount of elixir consumption!”
Kim Seo-yeon told me with a strong look.
While I was building the golem, she went online to gather information about deep diving.
Her information-gathering ability and analysis speed were unmatched by humans.
She can read thousands or tens of thousands of pages while the average person looks at a single page of a document.
Besides, he was a hacker with great skills.
She could access almost any information on the web.
Judging by the confident look on her face, she must have a good idea.
“Is there a good way?”
“there is! But before I get to the point, I will first explain the ‘saturation diving method’ commonly used in deep-sea diving.”
The scariest thing for divers was ‘divers’ disease.
Coming sickness is a phenomenon in which bubbles form in the blood.
When a diver suddenly moves to a lower depth after being under high pressure in the deep sea, the external pressure drops rapidly and the air in the blood expands to create bubbles.
What happens when you open a bottle of shaken cola is what happens inside your blood vessels.
Severe diving sickness can cause divers to die.
When I dived to 700m in the Anyongbok Seamount, I went down and came back up while holding my breath.
I did free diving (apnea diving), which has the least chance of contracting diving sickness.
However, it is impossible to search for a long time in apnea diving.
So, the method devised to solve this problem was ‘saturation diving’.
Divers enter the decompression chamber and gradually pressurize their bodies before deep-sea work.
And when the pressurization is completed at the same pressure as the target water depth, the entire chamber is dropped into the deep sea.
The diver comes out of the chamber, performs his mission, and goes back into the chamber when he is finished.
The chamber is then withdrawn and depressurized slowly.
Decompress very slowly to avoid foaming in the blood.
If you want to dive to a depth of 500 meters, it takes 2 days for pressurization and 20 days for decompression.
A diver has to live in a narrow chamber for nearly a month for one deep-sea operation.
“Then, if we only have a decompression chamber, can we dive into the deep sea right away?”
“There is one more problem with deep diving besides divers.”
“what is that?”
“Nitrogen poisoning.”
Nitrogen is the most important component of the air we breathe.
Breathing nitrogen at normal pressure is, of course, not a problem.
The problem is that poisoning symptoms occur when nitrogen is inhaled for a long time at a pressure of 3 or 4 atmospheres or higher.
So breathing normal air in the deep sea is poisoning with nitrogen.
Nitrogen poisoning causes anesthesia and, in severe cases, acts like a drunk.
Just as each person has a different amount of alcohol, the degree to which they are affected by nitrogen poisoning is also different, and some people get ‘drunk’ and take off their diving masks in the deep sea.
“So when you dive deep, you breathe a special gas.”
Nitrogen poisoning can be prevented by breathing a special gas in which helium, which has no poisoning effect, is substituted for nitrogen.
“It’s difficult…”
Listening to Kim Seo-yeon’s story, the deep-sea diving technique was not as simple as I thought.
In addition, technologies related to the operation of decompression chambers and special gas breathing are rarely dealt with in the private sector, and only the SSU is using them in Korea.
In short, it was a skill that could not be easily learned anywhere.
In addition, when the divers are inside the decompression chamber, experts were needed to adjust the pressure outside and check the diver’s body condition in real time.
In addition, experts were needed to lower and raise the chamber to the deep sea.
Just as dozens or hundreds of engineers support astronauts when a spacecraft goes into space, saturation diving requires a large number of experts to support divers.

“So we will use a method other than saturation diving.”
Seoyeon Kim finally got to the point.
“I’m going to try liquid ventilation.”
Liquids have little change in volume with pressure.
So, if you breathe ‘liquid air’ rather than gas, you can fundamentally block the formation of bubbles in your blood.
“Isn’t that from a movie?”
I’ve seen in movies that divers inhale liquid, not gas, into their lungs to dive deep.
“It actually is. If you use a substance called perfluorodecalin, you can actually breathe liquid.”
“what? Purple… what?”
“Perfluorodecalin. Liquid respirators already exist using that material.”
I couldn’t understand any more complicated explanations, so I listened to it more, but it was mana.
So I told her the main point.
“So where is the equipment now?”
“China.”
It was unexpected.
I thought you were at NASA.
“So you just have to get that equipment.”
“Yes, it is.”
Anyway, since it’s in China, let’s go and get it.
***
A secret laboratory in Hainan, China.
Two white men were having a conversation.
“[Finally succeeded!]”
“[The lethargy part hasn’t been resolved yet.]”
“[Let’s just cover that part. It may take another 10 years or more to fix that problem. And think about it the first time. Compared to that time, that can’t even count as a side effect.]”
“[but.]”
They were originally NASA researchers who studied ‘liquid breathing’.
However, perfluorodecalin had a fatal flaw.
Respiration is taking in oxygen and expelling carbon dioxide.
However, although perfluorodecalin was excellent at supplying oxygen to the lungs, it did not function smoothly to release carbon dioxide.
Eventually, the study was stopped and the researchers disbanded.
However, the two researchers could not give up their research.
So, with NASA, they continued their research with their personal fortune.
However, he failed in the end and sat in a pile of debt because of the money he borrowed for research.
Then someone came to support them.
They came to China with their sponsors.
And in three years, he succeeded in synthesizing a new substance that compensated for the flaws of perfluorodecalin.
However, their success came with many sacrifices.
“[Honestly, how is what we’ve done so far different from what the Nazis did to Jews?]”
“[Don’t say that! That person said, the humans who are brought here are cheap even if they die.]”
“[A human worth dying for? Who decides that?]”
“[Stop it! When you’re crazy about research, you don’t say anything, so why are you suddenly trembling with hypocrisy right now?!]”
Their benefactors provided the vast amount of money needed for the research as well as other things.
It was a living person.
They conducted experiments on a huge number of humans here.
And thanks to that, I was able to complete the ‘liquid breathing equipment’ in a short period of time.
thump-
A man approached the researchers.
It was the first face I had ever seen.
one of the researchers asked him.
“[who are you? How did you get here?]”
Minhyuk Choi said to them.
“Give me your liquid breathing equipment.”
