Blockchain developer Cheolwoo Lee (1)
Another three months have passed since the release of the X-380.
September 2014. It was a time when the hot summer had passed and the days were slowly getting colder.
A lot has happened in the meantime.
With the collapse of Toyo Motor, many foreign investors became clear that Japan was no longer a technological powerhouse.
As a result.
Since the launch of the X-380, the Nikkei 500 index has broken through -50%.
That’s why the collapse of the Toyo car played a huge role. Because the biggest company in Japan was sold to Hyeonseong.
Conversely, Korea did not have a festive atmosphere. Should I say it feels like repaying the sadness of the past? … .
Every day in the Korean news, they talked about Japan’s downfall and talked about Korea as a technological powerhouse.
‘Hyeonseong also had many changes.’
As the ITE-X engine was developed this time, the two places that benefited the most were me and Hyeonseong.
In particular, Hyeonseong’s stock price continued to rise and rose by more than 100% than before.
Hyeon-seong’s employees had a bonus party.
Team leader Seo became the vice president of Hyeonseong technology. The existing vice president of technology became the representative, and the representative withdrew from the front line.
There, I was registered as an honorary researcher of Hyeonseong.
It was literally an honorary position.
That’s how Hyeon-seong changed personnel and changed a lot in practice.
Existing factories in Korea all started to build production lines for vehicle models equipped with ITE-X engines, and Toyo Motors’ factories in Japan began producing parts for them.
It feels like the body is in Korea, and parts are produced in Japan and procured to Korea.
At first, there was talk of producing the ITE-X engine at the Toyo Motors plant in Japan due to the lack of infrastructure, but the story was dropped due to possible technology leakage.
How to say, even like a mokho bearing, the car has become like a subcontractor.
‘No, rather the opposite?’
The largest factory for the porous monolith filter, which is the core of the ITE-X engine, is Mokho Bearing. The necessary ingredients are airlifted from Japan… … .
President Yoon has now become the head of Toyo Motors.
‘Ugh, there really were a lot of things like this.’
Since then, the world has changed a lot.
Slim Motors, which produced electric vehicles, eventually decided to withdraw from the business. It was made with eco-friendly as a strategy, but the ITE-X engine was more eco-friendly.
When the eco-friendly strategy did not work, it seemed that they had decided to withdraw.
‘The UN officially recognized it as an eco-friendly engine, too.’
Of course, the decisive moment came after the UN officially recognized it as an eco-friendly engine.
After being recognized as an eco-friendly engine by the UN, various organizations have moved busily to apply the ITE-X engine to eco-friendly projects.
Especially engines, as well as porous monolith filters.
It was almost essential for factories with severe carbon emissions and thermal power plants, and research was being conducted in many other areas.
‘NASA is also involved in research.’
It wasn’t just NASA. Anywhere the engine goes.
Aircraft, ships, rockets, spaceships, fighter jets, tanks, industrial machinery, etc. Research was underway to replace it with an ITE-X engine, which has good output, good efficiency, and is eco-friendly.
It was still under research, but if the research is completed and the ITE-X engine is used, LF will be able to collect huge royalties.
‘I also had a lot of work.’
While the world moved like that, I was also called here and there a lot.
I continued to avoid it, but I couldn’t avoid the call of the Blue House.
‘A presidential award.’
The Korean government said that the development of the ITE-X engine had enhanced its national prestige, and was trying to mark it.
The Blue House is calling… … . how can i run away
He received the Presidential Award and appeared on special broadcasts.
I didn’t want to go on TV, but I didn’t think I was constantly avoiding it in a situation where people’s attention was all focused on me.
‘I’m not some sort of celebrity.’
As a result, there was no one in Korea who did not recognize me.
This and that happened, but in the end, I didn’t change much.
Of course, it is true that we have grown a lot while developing this ITE-X engine.
I still like games, I like money, I like developing, I like being lazy.
The difference from before is that I have a lot of money and that the treatment has changed wherever I go. And that a lot of people know.
It was similar except for those 3 things.
Still, playing games all the time is a little bit, so I entered the school class.
When I arrive at the lecture hall, the people around me are silent.
“…… Is that person Lee Cheol-woo? Did he come out like that in the news?”
“Really a student at our school, that’s the same computer science department.”
“Hey, shouldn’t you go and get an autograph?”
“They say he has a lot of money? He says he rides an X-380.”
“really?”
“Of course, the person who made it is that person.”
“Wow, the X-380 is my dream car. I heard that even if I had money, I couldn’t buy it. Orders were so rushed.”
“You don’t have any money.”
“……That’s right.”
They chatted among themselves in a very low voice, but it was a quiet lecture room, so I could hear it all the way here.
“I can hear everything.”
“Ah, sorry.”
“sorry.”
“No… I have nothing to apologize for.”
“Senior, senior. What is the secret behind the development of the ITE-X engine?”
Originally, it was Professor Choi Man-soo’s class that I had to take last year, but I missed the course registration. So the students I listened to were one year younger than me.
“Uh… well?”
“I respect you. I would like your autograph.”
“A sign? I don’t have one…”
“I’ll ask you at least a little bit.”
“me too!”
The students, who had been talking cautiously, rushed to my seat and started asking me questions.
Whew… … . I won’t even be able to take classes like this.
Being a celebrity doesn’t seem to be all good.
Meanwhile, the professor entered the classroom.
“Hey man, when are the relatives of these classes! Can’t everyone go back to their seats quickly?”
It was Professor Choi Man-soo.
“No, Professor. Senior Lee Chul-woo came to take a class? Is the class important right now?”
“Then, class is important. Does student Cheolwoo feed you guys?”
“……I don’t have anything to say if you say that.”
“Go back to your seat!”
“yes…….”
The students all went back to their seats with sullen expressions on their faces.
“Oh, you came to take Cheol-woo’s class? You don’t have to come in? Why did you come in?”
Did the professor originally use honorifics for me?
“Just?”
Many words came to my mind, but the reason I took the class was ‘just’.
I was bored, but I didn’t want to go to LF for various reasons.
There was no burden.
“hahahahaha, you are a great student after all.”
“hahahaha…… Ah, that’s right. I’m using the club room well.”
“The name of our Donghae University was widely known, and of course we should do that much.”
“Thank you. Oh, and I want to make some donations. In a way, it’s the university that laid the foundation for me to come this far.”
I was told what to do if I earn money and what to do if I don’t spend it. Sometimes I wanted to use it for good things like this.
It was a part that I also talked about with Minseok.
“Yes? A donation?”
“Yes. What do you do with money? You have to know how to spend it.”
“how much……?”
When the topic of money came up, Professor Choi Man-soo’s eyes changed.
After all, no one likes money.
“30 billion won.”
Of course, I did not donate in my name, and LF Co., Ltd. will donate to Donghae University. That is, my money and not my money.
How much is in LF’s bank account… … ? What was certain was that 30 billion won was the price of chewing gum.
Minseok also agreed.
“……? 30 billion is our university’s annual budget?”
Professor Mansoo Choi is surprised.
“30 billion?”
“What?!”
“How much money is that?”
“Then can I not take out student loans? Then, if I have a lot of money at school, I’ll get a lot of scholarships, right?”
“……Wow, Klath is crazy.”
“To think there was such a great senior at our school…”
The students who were listening to the lecture were also surprised.
“Well, a year’s budget is suitable. Where can I go to donate? Hmm… As expected, I’ll take the class next time.”
“…… I will guide you. Today is closed!”
The professor hit Kang Hyu on the spot and directed me to the donation site.
After donating 30 billion won to Donghae University, he returned to the club room. I tried to keep taking classes, but it wasn’t too much.
‘hmm… … . What are you doing?’
I thought about turning on the computer and playing games, but that wasn’t fun either.
‘Should I see some people after a while?’
While I had some spare time, I thought I should see people’s faces.
‘Well, I saw this guy last time, and this one… … . saw it hmm… … . Ah, should I contact Sang-cheol hyung after a long time?’
From noble mtl dot com
I remembered in a while. after the army. Sangcheol Yoon.
I called right away.
-Oh, who is this? Isn’t that Sergeant Lee Cheol-woo?
Despite the phone call after a long time, Sang-cheol greeted me warmly.
“hahahaha, hyung, until when will I be the sergeant?”
-Anyway, it was a mess? Are you upset about the news? Cheol-woo Lee, the genius of the century. Engine development beyond the times!
“……. Stop it, because I listened to it so that I could hear it in my ears.”
– So you’re not busy? I thought I wouldn’t be able to contact you anymore.
“hahahaha, why did you cut off contact?”
-You look good.
“If you’re good, won’t you contact me?”
– It’s not like that. so what’s up
“I just want to see your face. I’m bored.”
– No, are you bored? Aren’t you busy? I’m still immature I’ve known it since hacking in the military.
“What are you saying? That’s why I’m going to see it.”
– Of course you should.
Sang-cheol hyung readily agreed.
“Then, um… pick a good place yourself.”
-Oh, are you buying it?
“then.”
– I should get it completely. Brother, these days are a bit difficult.
“Eh? Why?”
– No, that’s… … . Actually, I did a little bit of Bitcoin, but it crashed. so… … .
Bitcoin? What is it? Are you hearing this for the first time?
“What is it? Bitcoin?”
– Oh, there is such a thing. I’ll tell you more when we meet later. Oh, do you remember Team Leader Cho Hyuk?
“Uh. How are you?”
-You work in the same place as me, can the team leader watch it together?
“of course.”
– Then, I know of a good lounge. Shall we meet there around 7pm tonight?
“Oh, good.”
-Okay Then I’ll text you the location and time again. Let’s meet later and talk about the details.
“Uh, okay. See you later.”
Sangcheol hung up the phone with his brother and thought.
‘What is Bitcoin? Is it like money in bits?’
interest was piqued.
