Shinseong Lee Cheol-woo (9)
In the silence of Toyo Motor’s laboratory, a researcher boarded the X-380.
“I’ll put it on the test bed.”
“okay.”
After getting permission from Satoshi, the researcher started the X-380 and put the car on a test bed.
After that, other researchers came and installed various inspection devices used in Toyo cars.
“Fuel economy meter installed.”
“Installation of the carbon emission meter has been completed.”
“The torque meter is ready.”
“Limit canceled.”
“The exhaust gas emission meter is also installed.”
“The speedometer is ready.”
The researchers attached some measuring equipment to the X-380, and the preparations were complete.
“Start.”
Representative Michibu said with a helpless expression.
“I’ll step on the accelerator.”
Researcher steps on X-380’s accelerator and starts running. Then, the X-380 emits a sharp exhaust sound and the wheels begin to turn furiously.
Weiyiing- Weiying-!
The test bed was handling the speed of the X-380.
“……. Current speed. 120 kilometers per hour. Instantaneous fuel consumption is 46.”
“what?”
As soon as the fuel efficiency rose to 46, CEO Michibu asked with a puzzled expression.
“Instantaneous gas mileage. It will drop little by little.”
“Uh… Um… Current speed. 140 kilometers per hour. Instantaneous fuel consumption is 48.”
The researcher, who was looking at the situation board, said the truth as it was, with an expression that he did not know what to say.
“The speed is 140… but the instantaneous fuel economy has increased? Average fuel economy! Average fuel economy!”
“The average is 47.”
“…… No, 3 more than the fuel economy officially announced at the session presentation?”
It was.
The certified fuel efficiency of the X-380 was around 46-48, which was slightly better than 44. However, rather than exaggerating and disappointing people, Lee Cheol-woo wanted to reduce it and make it look even more amazing when he actually purchased it.
And Lee Cheol-woo’s idea was exactly right.
“It’s a crazy engine, really. It’s getting an average fuel economy of 47.6.”
It has been running at 140 mph for about 10 minutes. The average fuel economy was 47.6, a slight increase.
“No, f*ck does this make sense? Does it make sense? Hey, you come down.”
CEO Michibu, who had never cursed at the staff until now, lost his composure and spat out abusive words.
“all right.”
“Where does this bastard cheat, are you Hyunseong’s spy?”
Even in Hyeonseong, he obviously had connections with some of the Toyo Motors employees, but there was no way he would tell a lie in an experiment like this.
However, CEO Michibu lost his composure and could not discriminate.
“No. What am I…”
“Ha, hey. You guys do it yourself.”
From noble mtl dot com
“Me? Father?”
“okay.”
“all right.”
The only person Michibu could trust was his own son, Koshiro.
Koshiro climbed into the driver’s seat of the empty X-380.
“I’ll start testing right away.”
Koshiro, vice president of Toyo Motors, immediately stepped on the accelerator.
Once more, the X-380 roared and started to run on the test bed at breakneck speed.
“It’s the same…”
Contrary to Michibu’s will, the test results were no different from just before.
“……. under.”
“Dad, this could be another fault. Let’s keep driving.”
They admitted that they were no longer lying in the fuel economy part, but continued testing thinking that there might be a problem in other parts.
“It is below the carbon emission threshold.”
“There is no fumes coming out.”
They had that expectation, but the numbers that were actually verified were quite different. It was much higher than what Cheol-woo said during the section presentation.
“…”
Representative Michibu just watched it with a confused mind.
“I think you can find out about the torque by raising the output a little more.”
At that moment, the good news came.
‘Honestly, the talk must be a lie, right? It doesn’t make sense if it’s eco-friendly and has good output.’
It was Satoshi Koshiro’s idea.
And he started to step on the accelerator as hard as he could to know the proper output.
Wheee-!
The tremendous power from the ITE-X engine was transmitted to the wheels through the TT gear.
“195 km/h. Fuel consumption is 47.”
200 per hour was approaching in an instant, and fuel economy did not drop.
The X-380 quickly picked up speed and climbed.
215km/h
223km/h
245km/h
267km/h
In just a few seconds, the speed went up to over 250 per hour.
‘It can’t be, how strong is this? Nonsense.’
He continued to speed up without fear.
289km/h
319km/h
339km/h
The power of the X-380, whose limits were lifted for testing, was endless.
The speed continued to rise.
Koshiro was not good at discerning right now, and there was no corner to believe in their vehicle test system, so he continued to step on the accelerator.
349km/h
389km/h
401km/h
when reaching 400 mph.
Chijijijik-!
The test bed could no longer handle the output of the X-380, and it fired sparks. And the CEO, feeling that it was dangerous, shouted.
“Stop! Stop!”
I shouted that word urgently, but it was already too late.
The X-380 momentarily left the test bed and caused a major accident.
bang-!
The X-380 bounced off the test bed and crashed into a wall, knocking Satoshi Koshiro, vice president of Toyo Motors, unconscious.

A few days later.
As soon as the X-380 was released, numerous verification organizations verified the X-380 themselves, and as a result, they saw better numbers than those announced during Cheol-woo’s session presentation.
And the world went into an uproar.
“The vice president of Toyo Motors, Satoshi Koshiro, is unconscious. The cause is an unreasonable test of the X-380.”
“Toyo Motor’s GTC-3 has some flaws.”
「How many days does Hyeonseong’s stock limit? Toyo Motor’s share price continues to plummet.”
“Preparing for a press conference on Japan’s economy.”
「Presidential Award to be given to Lee Cheol-woo, CEO of the Korean government.」
“X-380. shipping out. No flaws, Germany is alarmed, America is alarmed, Russia is on alert.”
「Research on the circulatory system of NASA’s full-scale ITE-X engine begins.」
「Discussing the withdrawal of Slar Motors’ electric vehicle business.」
「The United Nations Industrial Development Organization is formally discussing eco-friendly recommendations with the ITE-X engine.」
“Who is Lee Cheol-woo?”
「Lee Chul-woo, a genius born in Korea.」
「What kind of place is LF, an unlisted company headed by Lee Cheol-woo?」
Great articles were pouring in real time.
“Cheol-woo… have you seen these articles?”
“Yes. I saw it. Everyone is in a frenzy.”
I still couldn’t turn on my phone, and I didn’t even dare to go to the mail. At this rate, it was time to change all of the e-mail addresses and contact information.
Well, maybe that’s why I didn’t realize that even when I heard such tremendous news in the news article.
“What the hell is this article about?”
“Which one?”
“They say Satoshi Koshiro is unconscious due to X-380’s unreasonable test.”
“No, that’s what I mean. It’s okay to test like that, but I don’t know exactly what the output of the X-380 is, but they said they tested it by canceling the limit.”
“Ah? What do you mean?”
“Yeah. Probably, they tested it on their own test system. But that test system couldn’t handle the output of the X-380.”
“…… Is that possible? Even so, it’s a car test facility for automobiles, but it couldn’t handle that level of output.”
President Yoon said with an expression that he did not understand.
I don’t know the details, but well… … . Wouldn’t it be too much in many ways?
“Um, I see, why did Limit get canceled?”
“Wow… how on earth is the ITE-X engine capable of output?”
“I think you’ll know exactly when you see the data, but if you cancel the limit, it will come out much more. The circulation operation continues to run.”
“… that’s really crazy.”
“Yes. Who would have known that I would also give birth to a monster like this.”
“And thank you.”
“Thanks? Do you have something to thank me for?”
“Honestly, I had a little bit of a bad feeling about Toyo Motors. It’s thrilling to see the news that the stock price is continuing to plummet.”
Mr. Yoon. There was a little bit of damage from Koshiro.
“Me too.
“Are you a jerk?”
“Oh, I actually heard from team leader Seo. What kind of humiliation did President Yoon suffer from him?”
“……I should have been patient.”
“No. Why are you putting up with that? They’re bastards. Especially Koshiro.”
“under…….”
President Yoon looked up at the distant sky and sighed, perhaps thinking of that time.
“It’s called a coma, right?”
“Yes. Yeah, why are you testing so hard? Tsk tsk.”
It was an accident that happened because of my X-380, so I felt apologetic, but also felt a sense of relief.
“Still, I heard it’s not affecting life.”
“Yes. Even if he wakes up, he will be hemiplegic.”
“Um… I don’t feel any special feelings for that person as it’s a thing of the past, but…”
“Maybe?”
“Something like that comes to mind. Good luck, punishment for evil, private return, self-employment gain, causal retribution.”
Good and punishing evil. It encourages the good and punishes the evil.
Private return (事必歸正). Whatever happens, it always goes back to the right way.
self-employment. You get back the results of what you did.
Causation and retribution. Cause and effect bite and bite each other.
… … . Well, they all meant the same thing in some way.
“I will. It’s self-inflicted. Let’s retaliate.”
“Thank you again.”
President Yoon bowed his head and greeted me sincerely.
“What are you so grateful for?”
“Even though I don’t have any particular feelings because it was in the past, I thought about it. I can’t take revenge on that person. I just have to live with it.”
“yes…….”
continued to listen.
“However, Mr. Cheol-woo made that impossible dream come true on his behalf. In a short period of time, less than a year.”
Yoongi’s eyes grew red.
“is that so.”
I also wanted to get revenge after hearing the story from team leader Seo. So I didn’t have to work hard.
“Thank you so much. You helped me solve what almost became my lifelong grievance. Mr. Cheol-woo.”
President Yoon once again bowed his head deeply to me and said.

A VVIP room at a hospital in Tokyo, Japan.
Satoshi Koshiro, vice president of Toyo Motors, was lying unconscious on a ventilator. Next to him was his father, Satoshi Michibu.
“Son, where did it go wrong?”
He spoke as he held the hand of his comatose son.
“Did you continue to be greedy?”
If the GTC-3 was only losing out to the engine of the X-380, how could it continue to sell cars on a low-end policy?
However, as defects were also found in the GTC-3, the problem became even bigger.
“I would rather have admitted that I lost to Hyunseong, and should have kept the second place.”
He was worried about his son and his company at the same time.
Knock- Knock- Knock-
Meanwhile, someone came to the hospital room.
“I told you not to let anyone in!”
Michibu said in a nervous voice.
“Um… That’s what Minister Hiroshi Kato of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry came to visit.”
“Why is the Minister? Let me in first.”
Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry, Hiroshi Kato enters the hospital room.
“I’m sorry for coming to you while you were distracted.”
“No… that’s why it’s so important.”
He was silent for a moment, then opened his mouth.
“Toyo car, it looks like it’s going to go over to Hyeonseong.”
“…! What the hell do you mean by that!”
He was about to lose everything he had built.
