I Became a Scoundrel From a Wealthy Family 325

## Chapter 325 – 32. I’m Telling You, It’s Real (6)

“I haven’t experimented with liquids… But is the liquid state that important?”
“…”
“…”

Gominyeong and Kang Hyeyeong stared at me intently.

…Was that too basic of a question?
But what can I do if I don’t know?

“Well… it’s very important in two ways.”

Thankfully, our lovely Gominyeong started explaining calmly.

“First, the sustainability of the superconductivity. We don’t know yet how long RK-99 can exhibit superconductivity in its solid state, or under what conditions, right? We’ll get results later, but what if it’s a material that loses its superconductivity once it’s melted into a liquid and then solidified again?”
“Is that… possible?”
“It’s not impossible. In fact, it’s more likely. Superconductivity is very sensitive to the structure and composition of a material. It’s more amazing for properties to be maintained even after undergoing drastic changes.”
“Ah, I see.”
“But what if RK-99 maintains superconductivity even in its liquid state? Or if there are conditions that allow it to do so? Then it’s more likely to maintain superconductivity even when solidified again. It would be an incredibly advantageous material in terms of ease of processing.”

Hmm.
Since it’s RK-99, it feels like it would have superconductivity even when melted.
From the start, it’s a cheat-like item based on a meme, and I don’t think the people who created the game settings thought that deeply about it.

“Second, there’s the utilization of liquid superconductors itself. Unlike solids, liquids are flexible and can freely change shape. They can be used more easily in narrow spaces or complex structures.”

This time, the explanation was a bit long.
Terms like flexibility and shape variability popped out from the beginning, followed by unheard-of words like minimizing non-uniformity within the material and constructing three-dimensional integrated circuits using microfluidic channels.

I mostly tuned out about 70-80% of it, and only managed to understand it when she got to the actual examples of its use.

“(Omitted) …So, if there’s a liquid superconductor, especially one with extremely minimal temperature and pressure restrictions, it would open a new era different from solid superconductors.”
“Wow. You explain so well. I understood everything.”
“…”

After finishing her explanation, Gominyeong applied lip balm and gave me a sulky look.

“…Are you sure you understood everything?”
“Of course.”
“…”
“…”

She doesn’t seem to believe me.
Was it that obvious?

“I completely understood that it has tremendous potential for utilization.”
“Anyway, we’ve already confirmed that RK-99 has superconductivity even at extremely high temperatures exceeding 100 degrees Celsius.”

What the.
She’s not even acknowledging me.
I’m hurt.

“We’ve only confirmed the Meissner effect so far… but frankly, that’s the most important thing, so it’s safe to conclude that it has superconductivity at extremely high temperatures. So… it seems necessary to raise the temperature further and perform various measurements.”
“Then… let’s melt it.”

“…Chief, it would be good if you could rest while working.”
“I’d like to, but… do we have time for that?”
“…”

Sua had looked haggard for the past few days.
Even her pretty face and smooth skin had become slightly rough.

It’s because she has too much work.
She’s already handling her original tasks, plus she’s taken on Go Muyeol’s work, so she doesn’t have time to rest properly.

“How’s the mayor’s office reacting?”
“They said it can’t be helped, so they’ll contact us again when the schedule is adjusted.”
“Haa…”

It’s only been a few days, but without Go Muyeol, problems have been popping up everywhere.
Problems always arise, but without the top decision-maker to deal with them promptly, they keep getting delayed.

It’s the same even with Sua.

No matter how much Go Muyeol delegated decisions to her, she’s not Go Muyeol.
Things that Go Muyeol would have simply brushed off, Im Sua had to read carefully and consider several times to avoid missing anything.
Even after that, she had to call in key team leaders or related staff and go through a fairly long decision-making process before making a decision, so it took several times longer than when Go Muyeol handled it.

It’s not a difference in ability.
It’s a difference in responsibility.

Go Muyeol could make a wrong decision and just shrug it off because it’s his job anyway, but Im Sua could be screwed…

‘Ugh, ugh…’

My head hurts.

“Ah, and if it’s okay, they also suggested that the mayor herself come here.”
“The mayor come here?”
“Yes.”
“Hmm…”

The biggest problem right now is the appointment with Mayor Jeong Mina.
Originally, Go Muyeol had promised to visit the mayor’s office directly this Wednesday, which was ‘yesterday’.
Of course, the mayor’s side had been informed in advance.

But for some reason, he’s holed up in the research building with Gominyeong, not letting anyone in and not receiving any contact.

The only outside contact is Baekseol coming down to get food at mealtimes, but even then, she moves quickly with minimal movement, making it difficult to encounter her.

In the end, they had no choice but to notify the mayor’s office before the appointment time.
That the CEO couldn’t go to the mayor’s office due to personal reasons…

Fortunately, the mayor’s side is overwhelmingly the weaker party, so it didn’t escalate into a big problem.

“For now, they said they’ll coordinate that later.”
“Yes.”

The real big problem is…

“…”
“…”
“…”
“…”
“…”
“…”

A super-sized issue that makes all the secretaries in this room feel like they’re staring into a dark abyss.
It was the meeting with Go Hayan scheduled for the day after tomorrow, May 1st.

“C, Chief… what should we do about this?”
“We should… tell Master about this…?”
“But he told us never to approach him.”
“He turned off all his phones too.”
“No, you have to be flexible in times like this. What are you talking about?”
“But he said never to approach him because it’s a security matter. Who’s here right now?”
“…”

“…”

The secretaries argue, expressing their opinions.

What if Go Muyeol’s work isn’t finished and the deadline passes?
What if they just let May 1st pass by?

“…”

It’s dizzying.
I get goosebumps as if all the blood is draining from my body, and cold sweat runs down my spine.

“M, Master… will remember… he will… surely… he’ll come out soon.”
“…”

Sua tried to say that, but she knew it herself.
That it’s not something they can rely on by chance.

Besides,

– Buzz

A call came just in time.

“…! H, Hello, this is the secretary’s office… Go Hayan’s secretary’s office!”
“…”

It seems the secretary’s office is calling for a check-up before the meeting.
Sua closed her eyes tightly.

“Melting point approximately 920 degrees, maintains superconductivity even when reaching the critical point. Maintains superconductivity even when completely melted into a liquid, still maintains superconductivity upon resolidification, and exhibits superconductivity even after cooling down…”
“Furthermore, the properties didn’t disappear even when the temperature was lowered to extremely low temperatures below -190 degrees… and it was still the same even in an environment with 10 megapascals of pressure…”

Kang Hyeyeong and Gominyeong recited the characteristics of RK-99 that they had researched so far.
They had written it down in their notebooks each time a result came out, and they were repeatedly astonished.

It has to be reasonably absurd.
As expected, RK-99 was just an all-around overpowered item.

It’s a superconductor as it is, a superconductor even when heated to ultra-high temperatures exceeding 900 degrees, a superconductor even when melted into a liquid, a superconductor even when solidified again, a superconductor even when frozen to ultra-low temperatures below -190 degrees, and a superconductor even when pressure is applied.

It just maintained superconductivity no matter what you did to it.
And very stably.

The only downside is that the melting point is too high, making it a bit difficult to use as a liquid?
But even this is a worthwhile discovery.

“Furthermore, the resistance is 0 no matter how much current you put in. At least with the maximum current we can use in this lab.”
“…”

Gominyeong looked at the notebook, RK-99, and me alternately, as if she was dumbfounded.

“According to this data, the magnetic field threshold is also expected to be… ridiculously high.”
“…Muyeol, would you mind putting your dick in my pussy for a moment? I think I’m dreaming.”
“…”

Perhaps because the shock was repeated too many times, Gominyeong briefly lost it.
She came back to her senses and sighed.

“What the hell did you make?”
“Hehe…”

I just laughed because I had nothing to say.
Even I, who have almost no related knowledge, am dumbfounded, so how much more so would they be?

‘It might skip 9th generation altogether and jump straight to something like 10th generation.’

Listening to their explanations, it seems that RK-99’s performance is better than I thought.
At this rate, could our Goryeo Group really conquer the world?

‘First, upgrade all weapons with room-temperature, ambient-pressure superconductors, and then gradually expand it to general products to gather a huge amount of money.’

With my knowledge and influence, it would be impossible, but if I use the power of our group, it might be possible to sweep the entire planet at once.

At least Asia would be a sure thing, right?

“…My Lord.”
“?”

Then, Baekseol suddenly approached.

“It seems a situation has arisen that Chief Im is having difficulty handling.”
“Huh?”

A situation that Sua is having difficulty handling?
What’s going on?
