Time passed quickly and we entered the end of 1992.
Kim Joo-jung returned from Japan after a detailed consultation with the head of the Korea Communications Commission, and was preparing for advancement to Japan with ease.
And Hoyoung, who moved safely to Bundang, has not left the house or even the studio for several days now.
“CEO. This is the material the director told me to hand over.”
“thanks. Chief. By the way, is Hoyeong eating and doing that?”
“yes. Fortunately, you take good care of your meal.”
“Then I’m glad. But what are you doing locked up there?”
Miru shook her head with an expression that she did not know anything.
“sorry. Because you didn’t even tell me.”
“but. When Ho-young is into something, he doesn’t answer even if I ask him.”
Kim Joo-jung nodded as if she understood.
“What is certain is that it is related to a project completed recently.”
“ah! Optical LAN installation?”
“That’s right.”
Kim Joo-jung recalled right after he went to Japan.
At that point, Mason, who was researching optical LAN, had completed the development of optical LAN technology to some extent, and only practical tests were needed.
Kim Joo-jung tried to build a demo base station in the usual way, but Ho-yeong blocked him.
Hoyoung immediately installed an optical LAN from Hermes Telecom to his studio in Bundang and said that he would test it himself, and in the end, he decided to proceed with the test.
“I know that the distance from Gangnam to Bundang is still quite a straight line, but it is amazing that the work was completed in about two months.”
“The difficulty of the task itself, which is to just pick up a few test cables, was not difficult. Besides, I didn’t even bury it.”
Kim Joo-jung recalled how active Ho-yeong was at that time.
While explaining the technology, Mason explained that since optical cables are vulnerable to external shocks, they must be buried, but Ho-young instructed them to remove at least one strand leading to his house and test it.
On the way, Ho-yeong met with the vice president of Korea Telecom and obtained permission to use the telephone pole for optical LAN testing.
And using those telephone poles, he literally spread the light at the speed of light, even spending his own money on his private studio.
They hired workers several times the number of manpower usually used for construction, and the necessary materials were immediately airlifted even at a higher price.
“Wait, isn’t it just madness?”
“you’re right. Wavelan construction was also carried out at the same time and installed in the Bundang studio.”
Kim Joo-jung shook her head.
Ho-yeong was always a man who took leisurely and thoroughly planned actions.
He didn’t understand why Hoyeong was so hasty about Gwangran.
However, he decided not to think about the work Hoyoung was doing anymore.
“Well, it doesn’t matter too much because Hoyeong made the system and the company is running well. If anyone asks, please tell me that the company is doing well.”
“All right. I don’t even ask about that anyway. Because I think the boss is doing well.”
Kim Joo-jung laughed.
For some reason, he seemed to imagine the face of Hoyoung looking at him and saying that he believed he was doing well.
“All right. I have to do my best here too. Anyway, what is certain is that no matter what kind of research Hoyoung is doing, the moment Hoyoung leaves the room, he will come back with something amazing.”
“I think so too.”
Kim Joo-jung almost laughed when she saw Mi-ru answer with a serious expression.
For some reason, it seemed that Miru would believe what Hoyoung said, even if he said that he was making fermented soybean paste with red beans.
He was amazed at Miru’s blind faith, but on the other hand, he was also envious.
“It seems that the head of department really believes in Hoyeong.”
“That’s right.”
“How can you trust people like that?”
Miru made a puzzled expression for a moment at the unexpected question, then returned to her original expression and said.
“Hasn’t the president been seeing the director for several years already?”
“Yes. 3 years already… Is it the fourth year?”
“Then, hasn’t the president also built up some level of trust in you?”
Kim Joo-jung made a slightly surprised expression.
I didn’t expect a counterattack like this to come back because I usually don’t talk well in front of others.
“haha. Yes.”
“Especially, I was fortunate enough to be right next to the director and watch his every move. So maybe that trust is greater. Besides, there is so much to learn.”
Kim Joo-jung nodded.
“I asked a stupid question.”
“no.”
Miru smiled at the drunkard.
In his expression, it felt like he could see even respect for Hoyoung beyond his trust.
“ha ha ha. Anyway, the material was well received.”
“yes. If you need anything, feel free to contact me anytime.”
“All right. Please go in carefully.”
“yes.”
Miru bowed her head slightly and left the president’s office.

When the optical LAN came into the studio and the wave LAN was under construction, Hoyoung was in close contact with another person.
That person was the most important part of Ho-yeong’s plan, and he stopped by Ho-young’s studio today.
Ding Dong-
As if that person had visited only once or twice, he naturally pressed the doorbell of the studio.
Moments later, the door burst open and a messy-haired Ho-young appeared.
“Francis, are you here?”
“Ow, did Hoyoung have a good night’s sleep…?”
He was Francis, CEO of Dell Korea.
Francis was surprised to see Hoyoung for the first time.
To him, Ho-young always had a tidy and clean image, but today he looked awake as if he hadn’t slept in days.
“The work I am doing now is taking longer than I thought. I cut my sleep for a few days because I wanted to finish it as quickly as possible.”
“What kind of work are you doing that makes Hoyoung stay up all night?”
“I’ll let you know when it’s done. Come in at once. There isn’t a good place to sit.”
Francis followed Ho-young into Ho-yeong’s studio.
In the studio, various materials and wires were scattered around, as if finishing work had been omitted after some construction had been completed.
Hoyeong pushed the clutter around the chair to make space and sat down.
Francis also sat at the doctor’s table in front of Hoyeong.
“What did I ask for?”
“I came here today because of that. To start with the conclusion, you should be able to receive it in about ten days.”
Hoyoung’s eyebrows narrowed slightly.
“Hmm… Ten days is too far. How can we not move forward a few more days?”
“That seems a bit difficult. Even these 10 days will be sent by the fastest flight with expensive airfare. The earliest flight departs in a week, so it can’t be helped.”
Ho-young, who didn’t like Francis’ words, tapped the fingers of his crossed arms before opening his mouth.
“So you’re saying it’s because the goods are ready and there’s no plane?”
“That’s right.”
“Where are the goods prepared?”
“I am currently in LA.”
Hoyoung’s eyes twinkled.
“It’s California. Then please wait a moment.”
Hoyoung sat him down and disappeared into the room.
After a while, Hoyoung heard someone talking on the phone from inside the room.
The voice was in English, so even Francis could overhear it.
“Yes yes. Are you saying it’s possible? thank you Thanks for letting me go for an hour. haha. no. If you ever need my help, please contact me.”
I don’t know who Hoyoung was talking to, but his voice was quite bright.
“Then, knowing that, I will proceed with the schedule. On the Dell computer side, let me share the schedule. Yes. Payment can be made to Eric, Gaia Investment’s finance manager. Let me put you in touch right away. Yes. thank you.”
After hanging up the phone, Hoyoung reappeared with a much brighter face than before.
“What call did you make?”
“You can send it by plane the day after tomorrow.”
“The day after tomorrow?”
“yes. Instead, we need to move the cargo waiting in LA to San Francisco right now.”
Francis had an expression that he did not know what Hoyeong was talking about.
Hoyoung recognized his expression and explained further.
“The person I spoke to earlier is the Vice President of Delta Air Lines. I asked him to rent an airplane for a few days. By charter.”
“It’s a chartered flight. How do you know the VP of Delta Air Lines? Before that, the amount must be formidable?”
Hoyoung said with a nonsensical expression.
“You know that I am the majority shareholder of Qualcomm. The vice president of Delta Air Lines was acquainted with Irwin of Qualcomm. I had a meal the other day in California. I didn’t know how to use the business card I received back then. And the amount doesn’t really matter.”
“Why are you in such a hurry? If you add up the money you need to buy the goods and the money you spend moving them, I think it will be a good million dollars.”
“Ha ha, not a million dollars.”
“It’s true that it’s still a lot of money.”
Hoyoung stared at Francis’ face and said.
“Actually, there is no particular reason. However, would you say that you want to create the future I envision as soon as possible?”
“What do you think of the future?”
“yes. To put it simply, it is a world where everyone can use high-speed Internet equally and can use the Internet anytime, anywhere.”
Francis thought that if the world Ho-yeong said came, the world would look completely different from now.
“It would be amazing if that kind of world came.”
“yes. so please help me This is something I could never do alone.”
Francis nodded involuntarily at Hoyeong’s determined tone.
“All right. Then I will put in a call to move the cargo to San Francisco right away. If it’s an airplane the day after tomorrow… It will arrive in Gimpo in four days, so it will take about five days.”
“good. I will wait with an open heart.”
Francis left Ho-young’s studio after talking a few more words with him.
After Francis left and stretched, Hoyoung went back to the studio and said to Gaia on her wrist.
“Have you heard Gaia? They say it will be back in five days, so let’s finish it by then.”
“Theoretically, 5 days is enough, but I am concerned about the health of the master.”
“That level is quite possible, so don’t worry too much. If you finish the work quickly, I will rest as soon as I build it.”
“All right.”
.

Ding Dong-
“Mr. Yoon?”
thump-
“Ho-Yong! Aren’t you there?”
Someone constantly knocked on the door of Hoyoung’s studio.
“Okay-. Were you asleep?”
Hoyoung, barely awake by the sound, opened the studio door with his head on his head.
When I opened the door, Francis and a few foreigners in overalls stood there.
“There you are. You asked me to come in today, and I’m glad you accepted.”
“sorry. I fell asleep for a while.”
“no. Can I install it right now?”
“please.”
With Hoyeong’s permission, Francis instructed the foreigners in overalls to enter the studio one by one, carrying machines and parts.
“The location is… Shall we do it in this room?”
“yes. Please.”
Hoyeong smiled pleasantly as she watched the workers start the installation skillfully.
The five days after Francis came and went passed in the blink of an eye.
And finally, exactly 5 days later, Francis appeared with an item that said he had come from the United States.
“Looks like you were sleeping.”
“yes. Fortunately, I was able to finish the work early in the morning yesterday.”
“Congratulations.”
Although the workers are skilled, it was a complex task that took three or four hours.
Hoyoung checked carefully to see if there was anything wrong with the installation.
a few hours later
The work was completed safely.
“Francis, you really worked hard.”
“no. We just did what we were asked to do.”
“Still, please get this item and install it again. thank you.”
Hoyeong bowed her head deeply.
“no. I am really looking forward to what I will do with this high technology.”
“haha. I’ll let you know when it’s done. To expect.”
“yes. This supercomputer would require a lot of power. Of course you would have considered it.”
“of course. The electricity used in my workroom is completely disconnected.”
“Awesome. Then let’s go.”
“yes. I can’t go far.”
“Enough then.”
Francis left and Hoyeong stroked the objects installed in the studio.
What he installed in his studio was not a real supercomputer, but it was a high-performance computer that could be called a supercomputer with current technology.
CPU production was made by asking AMD, and memory and other semiconductors were commissioned from Amco Technology from the beginning.
“The size and power consumption are ridiculously different, but this computer would be close to the performance of a computer in 2020.”
Hoyoung stroked the giant computer once again, realizing that his plan was almost complete.
The plan to copy Gaia from this computer and upload it onto the net.
