Beautiful Campus (2)
In the play, ‘Seoul National University’s Graduate School of Engineering’ is greatly agitated by the news of the arrival of the latest experimental equipment designated as a strategic item banned from export by the United States.
-Is it really? The US gave permission to export the TDX-3?
-You didn’t even blink an eye even though Britain and Israel begged so much? to our country?
-What’s happening.
Big news that made the eyes of not only professors, but also master’s and doctoral students who were exhausted from their rap lives light up at the moment.
– Pohang University of Science and Technology, Daejeon University of Engineering guys, they must be rolling around because their stomach hurts.
-The president did a really great job this time.
-What did I do? This is all thanks to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs running around the clock.
The TDX-3 turned the entire College of Engineering upside down, even appearing in the chatter of undergraduates struggling to score points and prepare for employment.
-Is it true that a piece of equipment costs over 1 trillion won?
– Even the exact price is confidential. Experts estimate that the manufacturing cost alone will go from the latter half of 1 trillion won to more than 2 trillion won.
-Wow, the manufacturing cost alone is enough… … .
Professor Kim Jeong-ae (Yoo Jeong-ah) and Cha Young-woo (Cha Do-jin) have been arguing for the introduction of the TDX-3 ever since Dewey Mud Electron developed it, and they have been steadily persuading the government as well as the school.
The two of them were more than happy about this.
-Professor Kim, you did a great job.
– What did I do? All thanks to Professor Cha’s hard work in meeting and persuading people in the government.
-By the way, what are the Pohang guys who haven’t done anything to do with the TDX-3?
-They have two particle accelerators, so they have an advantage, they must think.
– Seoul National University should also have its own large particle accelerator.
The introduction of new experimental equipment was a major national event, to the extent that not only Seoul National University but all engineering colleges in Korea were in a state of tumult.
And finally the day the TDX-3 comes in.
All the members of Kim Jeong-ae and Cha Young-woo’s lab came out and had a historic moment.
-How many trailers are coming in?
-It’s the first time I’ve seen a police escort transporting a piece of experimental equipment.
-It’s a precious body that only costs 1 or 2 trillion won.
-uh? but what is that car?
There was a car in the lead, passing by trailers loaded with disassembled modules.
Even at a glance, the Rolls-Royce Phantom boasts a body and dignity that are on a different level from other sedans.
Hwang Gun-wook (Jung Seo-hoon) gets out of the car and briefly makes eye contact with Yoo Jeong-ah, who is out in the distance, but the two soon look away without interest.
-I… … You are the new Professor Hwang Kun-wook, right?
-The dean’s office?
-I’ll guide you!
The sight of Han Yoo-ra (Han Seo-hee) and Hwang Gun-wook walking side by side on campus shone as if they had part of a photobook taken out and transplanted.
– Why did you quit?
-Because the level wasn’t right, because a better call came in, because the disease was severe. choose from these
-Two, second?
– Wrong.
-That, then the third?
-That too.
The brief interruption of breathing, which was not a big deal, made even the audience hold their breath.
– All three.
A small sigh flowed throughout the theater.
Rumors of a young American professor who rode a Rolls-Royce Phantom on his first day of work spread throughout the Department of Electrical Engineering.
-Professor Hwang Geon-wook, the assignment of the individual laboratory is confirmed, and it is a deal to be in Professor Kim Jeong-ae’s laboratory for a limited time.
-Working under Professor Kim Jeong-ae for a while?
-That’s not the case, but it looks like you only borrowed equipment?
The first meeting between Kim Jeong-ae and Hwang Gun-wook was not very pleasant.
As soon as she went to work, her attitude of freely using the laboratory equipment without any understanding from her spoiled her first impression.
-I know it’s temporary. But this is my lab. Of course, for practical purposes, you need to get permission from me.
-The story is different from what the dean told you?
Kim Jung-ae hardly liked this cold AI-like man.
It was unpleasant that the lab’s master’s and doctoral students treated him more difficultly and more carefully than he did.
The audience gathered in the theater was in awe.
‘Yoo Jung-ah, erasing emotions is like a real knife. You can clearly see that he really hates the bachelor. It’s a perfect method, a method.’
‘It’s true that the acting ability controversy was created by the billionaires because the face is so pretty.’
-So you’re saying I had to wait for my turn and make a reservation to use it?
-Yes! Because that’s our school rule! No, it will be the same no matter where you go.
Kim Jung-ae’s determination not to lose this time was shattered by the following words.
– This country’s foreign ministry did not do well, and the United States did not give TDX-3 export approval. Because I guaranteed it.
The confrontation between Yoo Jeong-ah and Jung Seo-hoon in the beginning was sharp enough to make viewers question, ‘Can those two really get along later?’
Hwang Gun-wook did not show anyone a smile.
It was different from the forced expressionless expression. From the beginning, there was a naturalness like someone who didn’t know what laughter was.
-Professor Cha, have you seen the news? If you haven’t seen it, check out the portal breaking news right now!
-what’s the matter?
-The Pohang Particle Acceleration Laboratory is on fire!
An incident that occurred in the middle of the play changed the direction of tension between characters and events, not between characters.
– The linear accelerator main header module could not be used due to a fire. For at least two or three years, the linear accelerator will be scrap metal.
A polite request from Pohang University of Science and Technology.
-Please make the TDX-3 available temporarily.
-Are you saying you’re going to use the cow-slaying knife to kill chickens? Even someone else’s knife?
-Didn’t Seoul National University use our research facility as a boon?
Contrary to the fierce debate between Pohang’s middle-aged professor and Cha Do-jin, it delighted viewers’ eyes and ears.
The justification was full in Pohang, and the government also took the form of trying to mediate in the direction of long-term lease.
Feeling the urgency, Kim Jeong-ae visited Hwang Gun-wook, whom she had always rejected.
– This must have been deliberately set on fire in Pohang. Does it make sense that only the main header module was burned down exactly?
-Do you think they cheated to get the TDX-3?
-Because I would have too!
-… … .
Kim Jeong-ae, who was taken aback by the words she had unknowingly said, closed her eyes tightly before opening them.
-You can bring strategic experimental equipment that the United States has never exported anywhere just by making a fire and showing your guts. Who wouldn’t be greedy?
– You think it’s intentional.
– Whether intentionally or not, we can’t take away what we’ve been working hard for with our eyes open.
-Us?
The only laugh that Hwang Kun-wook knows how to make is a mockery.
For some, even that would be so attractive that they would fall in love with it, but it wasn’t Kim Jung-ae.
– Let’s check it once. Is it arson or ignition?
Emotional confrontation between the two universities deepens over the new equipment.
A high-ranking government official intervened and overturned the attire of the viewers, saying outlandish nonsense.
If you are still confused about whether or not Hwang Kun-wook is a villain who appeared at Seoul National University.
Pohang University of Science and Technology was a clear villain. It was like that in the eyes of the viewers.
Eventually, the Ministry of Science and ICT even sent an official official letter to Seoul National University, urging them to make a ‘big concession’.
-The owner of TDX-3 is Seoul National University. However, it is attached to the Pohang linear accelerator so that the accelerator can exert its function.
-If that happens, we have to go all the way down to Pohang every time to use our equipment.
– One accelerator is better than being frozen for years. Please consider the entire science base of this country as well.
Unable to overcome the pressure, the president finally allowed the transportation of the TDX-3, and not only master’s and doctoral students, but also undergraduate students stood up.
A sit-in was held in the president’s office and the dean’s office, and people from the Pohang University of Science and Technology who visited the research lab with the Ministry of Science and Technology personnel to dismantle the module were blocked by the students’ scrum.
An incident that became so noisy that it was on the news.
Hwang Gun-wook ran on the highway to Pohang with Cha Young-woo and Kim Jung-ae.
– The car is very nice.
-thank you.
Cha Young-woo, who wondered how to open up his words, only smiled awkwardly at the machine-like answer.
-But Professor Kim, do you really think you staged a self-play in Pogong? I guess I’m a bit nonsensical… … .
-Aren’t there a few professors like us in Pogong? I’d be more than happy to set fire to it and get a TDX-3. Who would think it’s a self-made play?
-No, I understand that Professor Kim would have done that if he had been in the gun, but leave me out. Not to that extent.
The three arrived at the Accelerator Lab, and were able to access the burnt module after identification.
The research institute was not particularly wary of them.
-Professor Kim, look at this. If they started a fire, wouldn’t they be so indifferent to look at it?
-Are you going to get everyone involved in a dangerous self-made play? It will only be shared among a small number of societies.
-You mean Professor Kim would have done that? I’ll be sure to remember.
Hwang Geon-wook’s eyes suddenly become sharp as he carefully examines the burnt equipment.
A production that was only visible to viewers.
Soon after, he casually and formally digested the rest of the investigation schedule and asked to return to Seoul.
– Did you find out anything?
-There is no physical evidence whether it was arson or not.
-You mean you have a heart attack?
-I need to look through all of the laboratory’s access logs and eruption logs for the past three weeks, as well as all CCTVs within a 10km radius.
– That’s to ask the police for help.
– I’ll take care of it myself.
Cha Young-woo and Kim Jeong-ae felt once again that Hwang Gun-wook was unusual.
In the first place, it was different from being a driver in a car worth close to 1 billion won.
Meanwhile, the determination of Seoul National University’s TDX-3 defenders was waning.
The sit-in team was forcibly withdrawn, and the new equipment was disassembled by outside researchers.
A number of trailers began to leave the Seoul National University campus, escorted by the police.
However, in front of the front door, they were blocked from driving by a Rolls-Royce Phantom.
Middle-aged professor Park Joo-ho, who served as the leader, politely protested.
– This is an issue that has already been approved by the president and the government. It’s embarrassing to come out so reckless.
-How far did Professor Park Joo-ho get involved?
-Intervention? What intervention are you talking about?
– You don’t seem to know anything. Or a skilled liar.
-Hey. Professor Hwang.
-Sorry, but I’m not too curious about which one.
Hwang Gun-wook pointed to the trailer blocking the lane vertically behind the Phantom.
-I’ll give you a chance not to be embarrassed now. Please restore it.
-Professor Hwang?
Just then, Park Joo-ho’s cell phone rang like crazy.
Park Joo-ho, who identified the caller, quickly answered the phone.
[Turn the car! Hurry up and put it back!]
-Yes? What do you mean by that?
[Hurry up and turn the car around! no time!]
Park Joo-ho was dumbfounded at the mixture of anger and nervousness in his voice.
Hwang Geon-wook reported while maintaining an expressionless expression that seemed more suitable for ridicule.
– You’re not good at lying.
At that moment, the side of the trailer behind the Phantom was lifted up like a butterfly door, and Park Joo-ho’s jaw dropped wide when he saw the object inside.
It was the main header module that was said to have been burned.
-I found it stored well in an unnamed warehouse. Give me back mine, take this.
Park Joo-ho’s face bowed in shame.
The screen changed again, and the professors of the College of Engineering at Seoul National University were enjoying the assembly and installation of the TDX-3.
Kim Jeong-ae quietly approached and stood next to Hwang Gun-wook, who watched with his hands in the pockets of his gown.
She asked in a voice that still didn’t open her heart, without making eye contact.
-How did you know?
-I knew it by looking at the model numbering.
-Numbering?
-It was the equipment model number that was previously scrapped. Well, there is only one answer. A play from the beginning.
-ah… … .
Suppressing the desire to ask, how did you know that, Kim Jung-ae laughed.
– It’s going to be a big job. I wonder how many people will go to jail naked?
– It won’t be as big as you think.
-Yes?
-It is not a case that will be proceeded with public participation by a few front-line researchers or professors. Only the tail, which can be cut off, is cut off, and I will cover it as much as I can.
Hwang Kun-wook’s last murmur did not reach Kim Jeong-ae’s ears.
– In the past, as always.
TDX-3 safely returned to its original position before leaving the main gate of the school, and the professors, master’s and doctoral students, and undergraduate students were only happy that they were able to protect the great asset of their alma mater.
and the next day.
-Professor Hwang! Isn’t this really too much! My schedule, which was scheduled for two months later, was completely blown away!
– My schedule is greatly disrupted because of the attempted robbery. You have to do it all over again.
-Professor Hwang! Oh really!
The first episode ended with Hwang Gun-wook’s eyes fixed as if staring at the distant sky against the background of Kim Jeong-ae’s screaming anger.
* * *
– hahahahaha As always, the bachelor’s face worked hard.
– Appearance of an unlucky handsome man, confrontational conflict, external attack, overcoming by working together, the woman’s heart softens a little. This is a very standard course, right?
-I’m just scared because I’m walking on the royal road. Sanghee unnie, what are you preparing this time?
-It’s just an obvious Rocco, so what are you so worried about?
-It doesn’t look like Kim Sang-hee, so honestly, I watched it while nervous.
– Learning, props, sets, and visuals are all done. The visual is done.
-It’s nonsense ㅠㅠ Where is a graduate school like that in this world ㅠㅠㅠ From one to a hundred, it makes no sense ㅠㅠ
-It’s a drama because it doesn’t exist in reality. Why make a drama out of real life?
-not really? Did you accurately prove our graduate school?
