Shinseong Lee Cheol-woo (5)
‘Is it eco-friendly, fuel efficiency is over 44, and the output is better than a supercar? There’s no way something like that could have happened.’
It was a common thought after a certain amount of silence.
It was something that no one could have done with common sense.
In particular, the fuel economy of 44km/ℓ is beyond common sense and was close to impossible.
Not only that, but it is eco-friendly and has tremendous output. It was something that could never be produced with today’s technology.

So, I thought that Cheolwoo Lee’s ITE-X engine, which is being announced now, was a lie.
‘So… … . In a big announcement like this, I can’t lie in Hyeonseong’s name.’
On the other hand, there was hope.
This Tokyo Automobile Technology Expo was a place where people from all over the world attended. Announcing a lie in such a place?
That, too, was unthinkable.
So, people didn’t understand this situation properly.
Cheol-woo confidently approached the place where X-380 was.
-I have one more thing to show you. I will reveal it right away. X-380. The first car model with an ITE-X engine!
The tent that was covering X-380 was flamboyantly thrown.
And the futuristic car X-380 was unveiled to the public.
“……? What is that?”
“Is it a car?”
“Looking at the fact that it has four wheels and a seat, it seems to fit, but…”
People who saw it had different reactions.
The exterior of the car was so simple that it had nothing to do with it, and the exterior was also small.
“That’s enough, isn’t it off-road?”
“Um… that’s amazing.”
“That it has an ITE-X engine? That means it boasts mana comparable to that of a supercar, and boasts fuel economy of 44 liters or more?”
And people were puzzled.
Because it was too powerful compared to something simple.
– Let’s start the test drive right away.
Cheol-woo got on the X-380.
After starting the engine, Cheol-woo stepped on the accelerator with the brake applied, and the sharp sound of the ITE-X engine rang through the Tokyo Dome.
Weee
This was Cheolwoo’s performance.
“Wow… the exhaust sound… what is it?”
“Is this the exhaust sound that could come from a car?”
“hmm?”
The exhaust sound of a typical car is grand or loud. However, Cheolwoo’s ITE-X engine felt nimble and fast.
A sound not normally heard in a car.
When it came out, people were amazed.
Cheol-woo put the X-380 in D-range and put four wheels on the car test system next to it.
“……? What? What wheels go in at right angles?”
“What happened?”
Another Performance X-380’s wheels can spin close to 180 degrees. I didn’t know how it would turn out for actual sales, but now the test version is made that way.
“Parking a car at a right angle.”
“what…….”
To everyone’s amazement, the X-380 was fully loaded onto the automotive test system.
-Now I’ll show you. The surprise of the X-380 with ITE-X engine.
It was the same way Satoshi Koshiro, who had announced the day before, had done it.
With fuel economy and speed displayed on the screen, Cheol-woo stepped on the accelerator of the X-380.
Wheee-
The sharp ITE-X engine sound fills the Tokyo Dome.
The wheels of the X-380 rotate at a tremendous speed, and the test bed fully accepts that speed.
100km/h 21km/ℓ.
In an instant, 21 fuel economy at 100 km/h was displayed on the instrument panel.
It happened within 1.5 seconds.
Zero to hundred in 1.5 seconds.
The numbers on the instrument panel continued to rise.
131km/h 24km/ℓ.
151km/h 35km/ℓ.
171km/h 43km/ℓ.
212km/h 44km/ℓ.
At 200 mph, I took the target mileage of 44.
After that, Cheol-woo slowed down.
101km/h 44km/ℓ.
Then, fuel economy of 44 comes out at 100 mph.
Cheol-woo started running at 100 mph for a while.
99km/h 44km/ℓ.
Fuel economy is still 44.
-Now X-380 is running at 100 kilometers per hour. This is proof that the ITE-X circulation stroke is working perfectly.
“…!”
“…”
“It’s ridiculous. Fuel economy is 44 at 100 mph? Isn’t it 20?”
“It can’t be, it can never be.”
-The size of the fuel tank of this X-380 is 100ℓ. There is a lot of space inside, so it was designed a little more. Assuming you ride this X-380 10,000 kilometers a year… … . You may only need to refuel twice a year.
oiling… … . Many people do it once a week.
But twice a year? It was an unbelievable number.
Everything Lee Chul-woo was revealing now was almost impossible to make sense of.
-New vehicle models equipped with ITE-X engines will be available in Hyeonseong within this year. Thank you for listening to the above announcement.
Cheol-woo’s announcement was over.
“…?”
“…?”
“…?”
And once again people became dumb from eating honey.
‘A commercially viable engine?’
That was the idea. Even for Toyo Motor’s hybrid engine, it was worried whether or not it would be commercialized this year.
However, the engine that goes beyond common sense is scheduled to be commercialized within this year.
‘What the hell is it? that person? Cheolwoo Lee? ITE-X engine?’
Everyone who heard his presentation couldn’t get out of the shock.
* * *
‘after… … . It’s finally over.’
I came down from the session presentation room and thought with a big sigh from the backstage.
“Teacher Cheol-woo! You’ve worked hard.”
“hahahaha, no. What is suffering?”
“Are you good at presenting?”
“Really? Thank you. I was very worried about what would happen if I was shaking.”
“Did you see, by the way? The bewildered faces of the session presenters?”
“No… I was so focused on the presentation that I didn’t have time to pay attention.”
“hahahahaha. Everyone must have properly imprinted Mr. Lee Cheol-woo in their heads.”
“is that so?”
“Yes. That’s right.”
“hahahaha. Then I’m glad.”
“By the way… Seriously, I’m thrilled just thinking about that time.”
“at that time?”
“Yes. The introduction of circulation stroke can raise the thermal efficiency to 61.2%. And that it is possible.”
Thinking back then, I was also thrilled.
What was originally thought to be about 40% has been raised to 60%. At the time, people at the lab were so curious that they wondered if there was something wrong with the test.
And the team leader said
‘A new era.’
This engine will usher in a new era.
“hahahaha… that’s right. It’s thanks to Team Leader Seo that we were able to come this far.”
“No. I was just betting on Mr. Lee Cheol-woo.”
“Thank you anyway.”
“Anyway, you know that from now on is real, right?”
“Yeah, I know.”
The ITE-X engine has just been unveiled. It was still unknown how the new era that Team Manager Seo spoke of would open.
“First of all, many organizations will come to verify the ITE-X engine. The United Nations, NASA, Toyo Motor, Outy and all the companies and organizations that use the engine will come in waves.”
“yes.”
“We will respond to all of that in Hyunseong.”
“all right.”
“And not only that.”
“Not only that? What else?”
“With the introduction of the circulation stroke, the thermal efficiency of the engine alone increased by nearly 60%. Thanks to that, the fuel efficiency increased, which means that it consumes less oil. It is about a quarter.”
I was able to save almost 4 times the oil.
“yes.”
“That means oil prices will fluctuate.”
“Are you going to oil?”
“Yes. Didn’t Minseok tell you?”
“Minseok? What? Didn’t you hear?”
“Oh, he came to me when the engine was finished. He said he was betting short on oil futures.”
“Hmm…? I don’t know what that means.”
futures trading? Betting Short? Is it an economic term?
“In short, it means that he bet that oil prices will go down. Minseok.”
“Really? Why didn’t you tell me that? No, by the way, why are you betting on going down? Going up?”
“hahahaha, gradually learn that from Minseok. The reason Minseok didn’t tell Mr. Cheolwoo was because he was hectic at the time, and I think he took care to focus on important things. Ask about that in detail later when we meet.”
“Hmm… So you’re saying that oil prices will fluctuate with the development of the ITE-X engine?”
“Yes. That’s right. As the engine was developed, it uses less oil, so it will fluctuate in some way.”
International oil prices fluctuate… … .
I couldn’t even imagine that part.
I just thought that Hyun-seong would sell the ITE-X engine well and earn a lot of royalties, or that Hyun-seong would become even better.
‘A new era.’
That’s what it meant.
“The first thing to react to is international oil prices, and then as the ITE-X engine is gradually developed, it is likely to be used for aircraft engines and aircraft carrier engines.”
“What else do you mean by that?”
“If they are developed with green, high-efficiency engines, of course they consume less oil and move faster.”
“Yes. So what?”
“What that means is that logistics and transportation costs can be drastically reduced.”
“…”
but… … . Even if the ITE-X engine goes into the truck, it will save a lot of oil.
“Yes. In the case of a ship, it uses only billions of dollars in oil for one voyage. Imagine reducing it to a quarter.”
“…”
“Mr. Lee Chul-woo opened a new era.”
new era.
I was looking forward to it, but also worried.
What kind of economic and environmental effects will the ITE-X engine I developed bring? And what changes will it bring to people’s lives?
I was curious.
* * *
At that time, the automobile control room.
“……. What the hell is it?”
From noble mtl dot com
said Satoshi Michibu, CEO of Toyo Motors.
“yes?”
“ITE-X engine! What the hell is that ITE-X engine made by Hyeonseong? The fuel economy is 44? Is that a reasonable number?”
The voice of Michibu Satoshi, who was always young, gradually rose.
“Uh… I’ll have to check a little more.”
“Does it make sense, can such a thing be made with modern technology now! Eco-friendly there? What kind of bullsh*t is that?”
“… By raising the thermal efficiency to the limit, it seems that a naturally eco-friendly engine was born.”
“No, f*ck! That’s easy to say. You ask if that’s possible!”
Satoshi Michibu knew what the economic, environmental, and business ramifications the ITE-X engine would have if it were real.
If it’s real… … .
‘I can’t even reach Hyunseong’s toes.’
he thought so They are the No. 1 Toyo Motors in the industry. However, if the engine made by Lee Chul-woo is real, Toyo Motors will instantly become a company that is not even close to Hyun-seong’s toes.
No, it’s good if you can’t even reach your toes.
It would take away all of its automobile market share, and that meant the company’s downfall, or bankruptcy.
It shouldn’t have been that much.
“No. It’s impossible. With modern technology, it’s hard to build such an engine, no matter how hard you try.”
“Yes. Right? Is that right?”
“Yes. Of course. No matter how much I think about it, it can’t be. I don’t know what Hyeonseong is thinking, but it’s very likely that the ITE-X engine was a lie when he announced the session.”
Lee Cheol-woo even demonstrated it himself, but they accepted it as fabricated.
Not only Toyo Motors, but also other industries and people.
“Investigate now! Is it real or not!”
Satoshi Michibu, who used to be called a car industry tycoon, became desperate enough to lose his composure.
