Engineer Cheolwoo Lee (10)
A while ago, I picked up some TT gear that Hyejeong modeled and was manufactured at President Yoon’s factory.
I thought it was built successfully, and I’ve already done some simple experiments.
Then I called the team leader.
-yes? Is it really made?
The team leader’s startled voice could be heard over the phone.
“Yes. It’s made. Did I say prove it? I’ll prove it. Whether I’m really capable of participating.”
– First of all, Mr. Cheol-woo. Let’s meet. Shall I go there? Or would you like to come this way?
“I’ll go there. I’ll also borrow some research equipment.”
I tried a simple experiment, but I needed to make a little more accurate measurement, and Hyeon-seong’s laboratory was lined with such equipment.
-yes. welcome.
After hanging up the phone, I immediately set off for the headquarters of Hyunseong Motors in Ulsan.
It took about an hour and a half to arrive at Hyeonseong headquarters. Team leader Seo was there to meet me.
“Hello, Mr. Lee Cheol-woo.”
“Hello, team leader Seo. How are you?”
“Ha ha… I don’t think I’m doing well.”
he said with a wry smile.
“Look what’s going on.”
“hahahaha, no. It’s a personal matter. Shall we go in soon?”
“Yes. I’ll pack some things for a while.”
I grabbed a few TT gears from the back of the porter I rode in.
“What is it?”
“This is a high-output, high-revving version of the free vector gear I mentioned.”
“Hmm? It’s different from the free vector gear I was thinking of, isn’t it?”
“Yes. That’s right. Due to physical limitations, the existing free vector gear can only be used at low power and low rotation.
It’s scary because it’s a stereotype.
“Uh, um… Then it’s a completely new type of gear, right?”
“Yes. That’s right. I named it TT Gear because it was named after two T-shaped crosses.”
“TT Gear. So, is that possible even with high power and high rotation?”
“Yes. It was possible.”
“Oh, it’s not like this. Let’s go in and continue talking.”
“yes.”
Guided by team leader Seo, I entered the Hyunsung Motors laboratory.
“Oh, this is Hyunsung Motor’s laboratory.”
Various experimental equipment, torn vehicles, and even various tools. It certainly deserved to be called a laboratory.
However, there was no information related to the hybrid engine.
I don’t think it’s a laboratory that studies it.
“Yes. This is the steering system laboratory. You can think of it as a place where steering systems for vehicles are designed, researched, and tested.”
“Are there any people?”
“Yes. It’s also a lab that isn’t used very often right now. A quiet place is good, right?”
“Yes. It is.”
“Can we get straight to the point?”
“Sure. That’s what I hoped for.”
A total of three TT gears were placed on an empty table: a palm-sized TT gear, a forearm-sized TT gear, and a finger-sized TT gear.
“You made three of them.”
“Yes. First of all, I made it because I didn’t know how to use it.”
“Well, first of all, something the size of a palm is likely to be used a lot for steering, and something the size of a forearm can be used to transmit power from an actual engine to a wheel. If it functions normally.”
“I am confident of that.”
“Let’s start with a simple test.”
“Oh, there’s something for your reference. Let’s look at this first.”
I gave the performance analysis document for the TT gear to team leader Seo.
“Oh, you’ve prepared these things this time, too.”
“Because it’s important.”
“Let’s see… Is there a little energy loss at low power? The gear ratio is a little lower at low revs?”
I checked the TT gear performance analysis table I gave you at once to see if an expert is an expert.
“Yes. That’s right. You can think of this as a free vector gear dedicated to high power and high rotation.”
“Ha ha…. to solve it this way. It’s really surprising.”
Team leader Seo looked at the performance analysis document for a while and said.
“is it so?”
“Yes. I… I hadn’t thought of this at all when I tried to modify the free vector gear. I thought it would never work. Free direction control at high power and high rotation.”
“There is no such thing as absolute.”
“……I feel a lot while watching Cheol-woo. That nothing is absolutely impossible.”
“Are you okay? Even if the performance drops a little at low power and low revs?”
I thought it was okay. But if you actually use it, maybe there might be some problems?
“Looking at this analysis table now, it doesn’t matter at all. That level of energy loss is well within the margin of error. However, it cannot be used in areas where sophisticated operation is required.”
Certainly, a milling machine that precisely cuts down materials, it will not be used there.
“Yes. The fields of use are different. Gears that have nothing to do with output and rotational force… Well, it may be really impossible.”
“In a way, it might be greedy to solve everything with one thing. That’s why I failed to modify the Free Vector Gear.”
“Don’t beat yourself up too much.”
“hahahaha, I’ve had some bad things happen lately.”
“What the hell is that bad thing about?”
“hahahaha… Actually, it was a bit far from the top. When will the development of the hybrid engine be completed, and when will the vehicle with a new design be released?”
“……Is that a social life?”
“I can’t help it. This is a big deal. Let’s test it quickly. First of all, we need an engine or motor with more than 10 mana.”
He said while looking at the performance table.
“Yes. That’s right. Will there be?”
“hahahaha, aren’t they lined up here? Anything you pick up will have 100 mana.”
“ah.”
On the other side, the engine of the car was rolling.
“Let’s start right away.”
Coming out, the team leader moved the rolling engine to the workbench, failed the gear, and tried to connect the wheel.
Since it was different from the existing standard, I had to do temporary welding, and I had to get screws or bolts of sizes that were not in the lab here.
It was a job that took longer than expected.
“Whoa, that’s hard. Shall we take a break for a while?”
Team leader Seo tightened the screw and said.
“Yes. That’s right.”
I also said, wiping the sweat that formed on my forehead.
“Where did you make this TT gear?”
From noble mtl dot com
Team leader Seo suddenly asked if he was curious.
“The factory that thinks of Manager Seo as a benefactor.”
“A benefactor… that’s what President Yoon is talking about.”
“yes that’s right.”
“hahahaha, I heard you were supposed to supply free vector gear there too?”
“Yes. We do not have enough infrastructure to directly commercialize it, so we decided to receive royalties only.”
“I thought of it well. It’s not just anyone who does business. From selecting the site for the factory, you need to find workers for the production facilities, and, uh…. It’s much more profitable to receive royalties from behind the scenes. Anyway, is President Yoon okay?”
“Yeah? What do you mean it’s okay?”
“No, toyo car suffers such humiliation.”
“yes?”
It was the first time I heard it.
Chang-soo’s father, that is to say, President Yoon, was humiliated by Toyo Motors? It seemed like something had happened before.
It was a quiet atmosphere for everyone.
“Oh, no. I said something nonsense.”
“What is it? What happened? Can you please let me know?”
“Ha, that’s… how did that happen?”
* * *
Around this time last year, a new vice president was appointed to Toyo Motors.
Satoshi Koshiro was the first son of Satoshi Michibu, the current CEO of Toyo Motors and an automobile industry tycoon.
32 years old.
The first thing he did after joining Toyo Motors as vice president was to visit his business partners.
After my schedule in Japan was over, I visited Mokho Bearing, run by President Yoon, while I was digesting my schedule in Korea.
As soon as he visited, he sat arrogantly in the president’s office and said,
“Chotta, waterta (Hey, water.)”
Because President Yoon had been a long-time customer of Toyo Motors, he could speak Japanese. Hearing what the vice president had to say, he frowned.
‘You mean sitting in the boss’s office as soon as you arrive and asking for water?’
President Yoon didn’t like the fact that a strange guy came as vice president and was condescending.
Still, he ordered a subordinate to bring him water.
Because if the deal is cut off, there will be a lot of problems. I endured it as a father.
“Kokoha接待Monaika? (Is there no entertainment here?)”
He didn’t stop there, he demanded entertainment.
‘Ha, a scumbag has arrived.’
Still, I couldn’t help it. He was the head of the family, and the deal didn’t have to be cut.
Inevitably, President Yoon took that many people to an entertainment bar.
President Yoon had to endure until that point.
The problem starts with drinking.
Satoshi Koshiro started drinking alcohol with a woman at an entertainment bar, and after drinking alcohol to a certain extent, his true nature came out.
“踊ってミて (Dance)”
He said looking at President Yoon.
‘… … .’
From the moment President Yoon heard that, it became increasingly difficult to bear it.
‘I’m the president of the business, not the kind of person who farts at you guys.’
I wanted to say it out loud, but in the end I couldn’t.
‘under… … . Still, how much is the debt now, but if the deal is cut off… … .’
endured one more time
He had a lot of debt while running the factory, and if the deal was cut off, the house would get a red ticket and his family would end up on the street.
“Face white (It’s fun.)”
Watching President Yoon fall apart, Koshiro smiled broadly.
“kokoを通って (Passing by here)”
He didn’t stop there.
He got up from his seat and opened his crotch wide.
‘… … .’
After hearing Koshiro’s words, President Yoon fell into serious trouble.
“Osangatakusannattayoudesu. (You seem to have drunk a lot.)”
He has pride too, but he couldn’t possibly pass by the crotch of a guy the size of his own son.
“々しい (noisy)”
However, Koshiro, whose true nature came out due to alcohol, forced himself once more.
‘If I ever pass his crotch… … .’
I was thinking about letting go of my pride. but… … . However, President Yoon could never do that.
The reason he decided to supply to Toyo Motors was because the quality of the bearings he made was good. I didn’t come this far because I was good at hospitality or flattery.
“Shut up (quickly)”
“…”
So the two of them quarreled for a while.
In the end, President Yoon exploded.
“f*ck! Am I your dog? I’m legitimately supplying good quality products. I’m not your dog.”
President Yoon overturned the alcohol table there and came out.
* * *
“No, what the f*ck does his boss say? It’s clearly his son’s fault.”
When I heard the story, I sweared spontaneously.
“I’ve been trading for a long time, but my arms bend inward.”
“No, anyway.”
“I didn’t hear the details after that, but there were a lot of things like that after that. That’s why the deal ended up being cut off.”
“Ha. Bastards.”
Cursing came out spontaneously.
Changsoo’s father, President Yoon. He is a really nice and upright person.
Despite being a friend of Changsoo, he always treated me with respectful words and took good care of the workers. To say that the boss went through such a humiliation… … .
‘Bastards.’
It was a situation where there was no choice but to curse.
“I have one more reason to destroy the Toyo car.”
“Huh? What do you mean? Another reason?”
“Oh, no. I’ll finish the work I was doing quickly.”
“……. Yes. That’s right.”
After that, the team leader did a lot of work to test the TT gear, and the preparations were just about finished.
“I’m ready.”
