Why are you acting?(2)
[The possibility of room temperature nuclear fusion has been fully demonstrated. However, it has become difficult to see more than that for the time being.]
[When will commercialization occur?]
[The energy hegemon is no longer an oil producing country.]
[A great ember that will change the future of mankind, discovered by a 20-year-old scientist.]
Cold fusion clues have shook the scientific community around the world. It gave an impact comparable to that of the Lagarita Caldera eruption.
Regardless of the country, the scientific world only talked about the commercialization of room temperature nuclear fusion.
But less than a day later, a huge baptism of cold water hit them.
[Dr. Jeong Seo-hoon, nuclear fusion research data stolen!]
[How did the culprit steal it from the plane during that short flight time?]
[Science, it is concluded that it is impossible without the activities of a highly trained intelligence organization.]
[Does the great fire go out like this?]
– It can’t be sad news. The great knowledge that will lead the future of Korea has been stolen by someone unscrupulous… … .
– The Korean government promised to actively cooperate with Interpol to pursue the criminal until the end. The Japanese government also said that it is innocent and will spare no cooperation if necessary… … .
-Daeyang Airlines, which is the most suspicious, turned upside down. This is because, as the owner of the charter where the theft occurred, management responsibility cannot be avoided. A search and seizure fell on the entire company, and the personal activities of the flight attendants at the time are being exposed one by one… … .
-The possibility that industrial spies may be among the filming staff cannot be ruled out… … .
When the news broke that Jeong Seo-hoon’s laptop storage device containing research data was stolen, the scientific world was tinged with grief.
A Nobel laureate in physics even cursed without hesitation in an interview with Science.
“Those who dare to steal Prometheus’ ember and stain the future of mankind with darkness will be cursed forever!”
Editor-in-Chief Claude called Jeong Seo-hoon directly and expressed his worries, concerns, and anger.
“Do not worry. It’s an encrypted disk, so there’s no point in stealing it.”
-But if the CIA did it, it might be possible to bypass bitlocker. I don’t think American IT companies have the guts to refuse the White House’s illegal request for cooperation.
“Internal files are encrypted with a security program I made myself. The password is 256 characters long and exists only in my head.”
At those words, Claude’s tone finally brightened.
-Is that true?
“Yes. All thieves can get is unencrypted papers. These are materials that can be viewed anytime, anywhere as long as there is an internet connection.”
– Stupid bastards. How could anyone do such a reckless thing these days without security on their laptop? So, I’m relieved to hear that.
“Those who stole it should realize that perfecting cold fusion on their own is faster than cracking the code.”
Even if you use the world’s best supercomputer to crack a code, it will take hundreds of thousands of years.
The biggest misfortune for thieves is that even if they succeed in deciphering, there is not much of anything in it.
Because the ‘real’ of the room temperature nuclear fusion clue was the power of the lens given by the comet.
Claude’s voice became gloomy again.
-I was less concerned about that part, but since you lost the data you had organized, you need to work on supplementing the thesis… … .
“Completion of room temperature nuclear fusion will probably take some time.”
-Keuuugh, it really is a tragedy of mankind.
“Still, these are ideas that came to my head once, so I just have to remember them step by step. I’ve been there once, and there’s no way I can’t go there again.”
– No matter who they are, they are really evil people. Openly stealing other people’s research.
Claude’s voice was full of rage.
He cannot contain his anger, as if his studies were stolen.
“Oh, and I enjoyed the special feature on cold fusion. It was embarrassing to read it because you wrote so many nice words.”
– I just wrote it as it is. Most scientists now do not doubt your discovery of cold fusion clues.
Measurement of the energy generated by the fusion of hydrogen.
The birth of helium, a by-product of that fusion.
Jeong Seo-hoon proved it perfectly on a stage where there was no possibility of manipulation.
-I have no doubt that you will definitely receive the Nobel Prize next year.
“It’s not that great of a study.”
-If this isn’t great, I’ll show you how great research is later.
I know that in the West, self-appeal and exaggeration work better than humility, but Jeong Seo-hoon was humble.
He had no regrets about nuclear fusion research, so there was no need to show his pride.
After returning from the phone call, the waiting party looked back at them in unison.
“The editor-in-chief of Science magazine gave me a call. He was worried about the theft of his laptop.”
Song Jeong-woo said that he was sorry for nothing.
“If there really was a spy among our staff, I’m really sorry about this. How will I see Seo-hoon’s face in the future?”
“Ah, please. Also, don’t worry any more because you’ve put a lock on it to make it useless even if you steal it. I am burdened.”
Kim Sang-hee looked at me with eyes full of admiration.
“How is it that Mr. Seo Hoon is so unconcerned even though he has lost all of the Nobel Prize research materials? After all, you mean it doesn’t matter because you’re memorizing it in your head, right?”
“Ah, to be honest, I’m not memorizing it.”
“Yes? I heard you never forget a text you read once?”
“That control program, actually, because I drank too much and salted it up.”
“… … .”
“… … .”
“I had an idea that came to me in the spirit of alcohol, so I wrote the program as it was, but there are some formulas that I still can’t remember.”
It was a lie prepared in advance, but Kim Sang-hee nodded as if he was sympathetic even though he had a sad expression on his face.
“I understand. There are times when I come up with a good synopsis after drinking, but if I don’t write it down right away, I can’t remember it after sobering up.”
“Well, one day I will remember. Wouldn’t it still be in my head somewhere?”
“They say that ideas that don’t come to mind after sobering up come back to me when I drink again. Should I drink a lot in the future?”
“I’ll take a drink.”
Yoo Jung-ah quickly stepped forward and poured beer into Jeong Seo-hun’s empty glass.
Everyone filled their glasses, and Song Jeong-woo encouraged Jeong Seo-hoon from the side.
“I don’t know if I will become an unprecedented Nobel Prize-winning actor, but Mr. Seo Hoon, give me a toast.”
Jeong Seo-hoon raised his glass and looked around calmly.
Important colleagues such as Yoo Jung-ah, Chae Ji-hyun, Lee Seo-hyun, Lim Seo-rin, Cha Do-jin, Song Jung-woo, Kim Sang-hee, and Kim Hyun-tae are watching with enthusiasm.
I could see Jeong Su-ryun tucked away in a corner, but still, she was sensibly holding a glass and looking at her cell phone. Like it.
“Someday, I want to hold the Oscars and give a toast at the after party. That is my dream.”
“It’s also Jeong Seo-hoon!”
“hehehehe, the actor’s mind is not going anywhere. Like it.”
“Can’t we run away to science just because we won the Nobel Prize? You have to take a picture of 100 years and 1,000 years with us on this floor.”
Today, this seat was provided by Jeong Seo-hoon.
To comfort co-workers who are under a lot of stress due to laptop theft at the airport. At the same time, to show that you are okay.
Jeong Seo-hoon deliberately led the mentality of his colleagues with a brighter tension, drank alcohol, and raised the mood.
Yoo Jung-ah, who was drunk before I knew it, spoke quietly to him so that others would not hear.
“I can’t imagine how great the 2nd generation Seo Hoon will be later. It would be nice to have someone who will be Mr. Seo Hoon’s wife.”
“It is still a long way off. I hadn’t even thought about that.”
“You know what I like? a lot.”
“… … I know.”
“You must know. don’t forget.”
“All right.”
Is this a confession or not?
Even if Jeong Seo-hoon’s experience and Rashid’s life are fused, it is difficult to judge.
‘Come to think of it, both of them… … .’
When he is stuck at an odd point for a while, Jeong Su-ryun, who has approached behind him, hugs him from behind as if he is carrying him, and strangles her neck with both arms.
“Brother, brother. Why are you so good alone? Give me a little bit of that gene. Why are you so greedy that you ate all your food alone? Can’t you give me some concessions now?”
“How can I concede? It’s physically impossible.”
“Then, at least the legacy of mom and dad. huh? Even if you give it all to me, you can earn a lot more ah… … .”
At Jeong Su-ryun’s twisted pronunciation, the actors sitting next to her drunkenly laughed. They even whispered among themselves so she couldn’t hear.
“Actually, Su-ryun doesn’t lack anything. He is tall, has a pretty face, has a good house, and rolls from the ground as an assistant director saying he will succeed through his own efforts. Isn’t this a really good woman?”
“But if I were Su-ryun, I would feel a little unfair looking at my sister. I understand you.”
Jeong Su-ryun poured out a muttering of alcohol into her brother’s ear as she even shed tears.
“Brother, brother. You can make a lot of money with that nuclear bomb. give me the legacy Oh please.”
“You unfilial daughter, mom and dad haven’t passed away yet. And not nuclear bombs, but nuclear fusion.”
“It’s the same.”
“A nuclear bomb is nuclear fission. Although a hydrogen bomb is nuclear fusion, it is not at room temperature, but with the ultra-high temperature energy of an atomic bomb… … .”
“It’s the same thing, the same thing! Legacy! Legacy!”
“sister.”
“Are you going to give it to me?”
“Do you know why I am better than my sister?”
“Of course, you are the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one. … !”
“Nuna is a prototype, and I am the follow-up flagship model. So who wants to be born prematurely?”
“Hey you bastard!”
Jeong Su-ryun, sitting down next to her, stole Yoo Jung-ah’s beer mug and shot it as it was. Then I crawled to one corner and leaned against the wall and fell asleep.

“The crown prince of our Lee Se-jong laboratory, Dr. Jeong Seo-hoon, is coming. Everyone, applause!”
Ki-tae Hwang, a late doctoral student, played with his voice, and the master’s and doctoral students lined up on the left and right clapped vigorously.
“Ah, brother. What’s that? embarrassing people.”
“Doctor, please come this way. I’ve cleaned your seat here, Doctor.”
Unlike his mischievous voice, Hwang Gi-tae respectfully escorted Jeong Seo-hoon with a serious attitude.
At the center end of the master’s and doctorate students on the left and right, there was a large leather chair that had been polished to a shine.
Hwang Ki-tae, who forced Jeong Seo-hoon to sit down, stood next to him and solemnly looked back at the master’s and doctoral students.
Like a bureaucrat shouting out the king’s words, he is energetic.
“A long time ago, a genius high school graduate entered the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at the age of 17 as the top student at Korea University. A two-year leave of absence, including military service, was no obstacle to his genius, so he was recommended as a Nobel Prize candidate at the age of 20… … .”
“I haven’t received a recommendation yet.”
“You will get it soon. Don’t you know that the current physics prize is in an atmosphere where everyone gave up saying that you are unconditionally? Anyway, applause once again to the proudest alumni of Sejong Lee’s lab, Dr. Seohoon Jeong!”
“doctor! doctor! doctor!”
“Jeong Seo-hoon! Jeong Seo-hoon! Jeong Seo-hoon!”
Creepy cheers rang out loudly, and applause broke out again.
The master’s and doctoral students applauded sincerely congratulating Jeong Seo-hoon on his achievements. There were also fan slaves who were moved to tears.
“They said it was an emergency meeting at the university headquarters.”
“An emergency meeting?”
“We are fighting a lot with people who say that if you submit a paper in Science, you should be given a doctoral degree right away, but with people who say you should revise the school rules and give it to them.”
“… … .”
“Did you know that you’re already making a tenure sound?”
“Oh, I don’t really need tenure.”
“I do not need? Have you already received an offer from an overseas university? Caltech? MIT? where are you?”
“No, not that.”
Jeong Seo-hoon answered casually as if reciting the lunch menu.
“You have to learn.”
“… … .”
Hwang Gi-tae was at a loss for words, then finally asked back.
“No, I have to earn a lot of money by commercializing room temperature nuclear fusion, why are you acting?”
