Chapter 510 – 510. Plan 2
“So. This is an arrow that covers the opponent with a transparent cloth.”
As I spoke, Director Jeong and Dr. Choi nodded happily.
Do you like it because you guessed what I meant right away? They both look like kids. Is it that good?
It’s definitely a huge item.
If a transparent cloth surrounds the opponent, the person will be able to speak, but their skills will not work.
It can actually be seen, but the cloth is blocking the view, so it won’t be able to be targeted.
I want to use emitting skills, but Blink won’t work either… Anyway, it’s a good product.
It’s worth giving goosebumps. However…
“What is the principle of this? How can this explode and be covered with something like cloth?”
“Oh, about that.”
Dr. Choi speaks with an excited expression.
“Airbag. You know that, right?”
“Yes, of course I know.”
“Then do you know the principle?”
“Principle? Principle… Ah. Where did I see this? Did I see it in a textbook?”
“Textbook?”
“Ah. It was the chemistry department.”
“University? Oh, really? Which university?”
“Big. Doctor.”
When Director Jeong clears his throat next to him, Dr. Choi swallows his words with an expression of regret.
“Just explain.”
“Hmm. Yes. Airbags are formed when sodium azide reacts with iron oxide…”
“Ah. That’s right. Nitrogen comes out in an instant, and it puffs up… Right?”
“Yes, that’s right. You know very well.”
I can’t believe you still remember this. I find it hilarious too.
“Ah… Then, the moment the arrow hits the target, the iron oxide reacts with the sodium azide due to the impact and spreads out, causing the cloth to cover… Is that so?”
“Well, it’s similar. Not exactly.”
“Hmm… It’s fascinating. It’s fascinating. But…”
As I trail off, Dr. Choi’s expression shows curiosity.
That expression is a little scary.
What can I say… Say something! Tell me the problem! Improvements! Feedback! Give it to me! This is the look.
“There are a lot of problems. First…”
“Wait a moment. Just a moment.”
Then he hurries over and brings back a pen and notebook. Then he looks at me and says with a burdensome look in his eyes.
“Okay, that’s it. Say it.”
Wow. I’m kind of scared of this guy. I feel like a slightly clear-eyed madman.
“First of all, the fabric is not fixed.”
“Ah.”
“Look. You said this would be a problem, right?”
“You pointed that out right away. Just like the manager said, he’s a person with a sharp eye.”
“That’s right. Seongcheol is such a scary person.”
It feels strange to say that in front of the person in question.
Anyway, I continued talking without paying attention to what the two of them were talking about.
“The fact that the cloth is not fixed may not be a big problem. It’s a momentary attack and defense. In a situation where even one second is really important, just being unable to use a skill once is huge. But, let me ask you something. It’s not a technical problem, but a fundamental question. What is the purpose of making this?”
“This? This was Seongcheol back then…”
“That’s right. I said this with ‘capture’ in mind. Right?”
“That’s right. So this arrow is also called a capture arrow…”
“But, come on. This is just my idea, so just listen to it. Why attach this to an arrow and shoot it? You can kill someone by just using an invisible arrow?”
“?”
“Yes?”
“No, that’s right. Capture… That’s right. Well, it would be nice to be able to capture it. You can get information, you can torture it, and it may be necessary for one reason or another. But attaching it to an arrow and shooting it feels like the purpose has been reversed. It’s just that. I’ll kill you.”
“Uhm…”
“Hmm.”
The two of them have serious expressions and think over my words.
“Besides, what if the opponent has a shield?”
“Ah. That’s still it… But wouldn’t it be okay to make this a little bigger? If it covers a wider area, it could even cover the top of the shield, blocking the view.”
“Then this ball needs to be bigger? It shouldn’t be difficult with this size of cloth, right? Then will the arrow fly? Besides, the shape of the shield depends on its shape.”
It feels like I’m being a bit harsh in my words, but I don’t care and just keep talking.
First of all, even though this person called Dr. Choi is criticizing him, he seems more happy to have identified the problem rather than feeling bad.
“The idea was good. How to capture the opponent from a distance or create an opening. But I think you focused too much on capturing. It would be better…”
Dr. Choi and Director Jeong looked increasingly disappointed, saying that I would rather… When I say that, my eyes shine again.
These people are a little strange. Why are you so enthusiastic?
“Let’s do it like this. Do you know what the characteristics of the shield are?”
“Huh? The characteristics of the shield?”
“The shield cannot block gases.”
“Ah. I know that.”
“Then, if you can make something like this at the end of an arrow, why not make an arrow that sprays anesthetic or tear gas after hitting the opponent? Wouldn’t it be better if you could also apply the principle of the airbag?”
Mate!
“Ah. I’m surprised.”
When I spoke, Dr. Choi clapped his hands.
Then, this bandit-like man grabbed my hand and screamed ‘ooooo’.
“That’s right! That would be more effective! There’s no need to insist on this transparent cloth! We’re too caught up in this!”
Dr. Choi suddenly writes something down in his notebook. This person… Are you really a doctor? A bit of a mad scientist… Isn’t it like that?
“That fentanyl? You know that among the drugs? It’s so concentrated that just touching it or smelling it can make you faint. If the arrow hits the opponent, won’t it spread out? If you get hit by the arrow, you’ll die, and even if the arrow is blocked by the shield, the aircraft will keep the shield. Since it passes, I think it can definitely cause damage.”
Dr. Choi stiffened for a moment in the same posture he used in his notebook. Then he grabbed Director Jeong’s arm, stepped back slightly, glanced in my direction, and whispered something.
No… That person is really strange. Is it true that you are doing something like that in front of the person involved? Isn’t it?
What you’re doing is too cartoon-like, isn’t it?
“Haha. Don’t worry. You’re on our side. Are you confident?”
As Director Jeong spoke with a big smile, Dr. Choi glanced at me with a still suspicious expression.
To roughly infer from Director Jeong’s words, ‘Isn’t that bastard a devil? ‘Are you a good kid?’ I think I whispered something roughly like this.
“I’m sorry. This is how I’ve lived. But don’t worry about drug addiction. It’ll all go away when you get rid of the disease.”
Dr. Choi looks at me suspiciously again. Hmm. I said this in a somewhat misleading way.
“Hmm. Anyway… Mr. Seongcheol… Ah. Can I call you Mr. Seongcheol?”
Oh my. You ask too early.
“Yes, that’s right. It’s okay.”
“I guess I should try the things Seongcheol said. Wow. How can you think like this? After all, I should have given up on research ethics a long time ago.”
“Oh. And.”
“Is there anything else?”
“Apart from the arrows. This is what I’m interested in.”
Pick up a white ball and look at it carefully. Hey. How is this possible?
It’s like this. Skills are not omnipotent. Technology and science are still alive.
The only things that disappeared were communications and gunpowder. There are only two things.
Of course, the importance of those two things is so enormous that it feels like they have all been torn away…
In reality, no. Things like this. These skills. Since we have these left, we can use them as much as we want.
“Is there really a need to attach this to an arrow?”
“Yes?”
“Can I leave something here?”
An empty space next to the shooting range. A place that looks like an empty warehouse. When I looked at the place and spoke, Director Jeong and Dr. Choi both nodded.
I opened the storage and started emptying the things inside.
Air rifles and other equipment obtained as trophies after killing Lete and SG’s hunting dogs in Busan last time.
The two people who came towards me after seeing something falling out of the storage area were surprised to see that it was an air rifle-like item and picked it up one by one.
A lot of weapons piled up on the floor. He picked one up and said.
“It’s an air gun, right?”
Two people nodding their heads as if fascinated.
“Are there no air cannons?”
“Crazy!”
“Aww. Surprise.”
“Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean that Seongcheol was crazy, I just meant that he was groundbreaking…”
“I know. I don’t get that wrong. Anyway, why don’t you make something like that and shoot it? Then you don’t have to make it this small, and you can shoot it farther than an arrow, and you can even cover the area with a fire net…”〈 Br〉
Dr. Choi keeps writing things down in his notebook as if his hands were flying off. I don’t think he wrote down what I said, but he must have remembered something from what I said.
“Again. Again. Keep saying it. Quickly.”
“Huh? Ah, that’s right. Um… Again…”
Wow. My eyes are burdensome. But I was a little excited too.
This crazy man is someone who will make something similar just by saying something.
Things I normally only thought about, or things I could never realize with my head alone.
This is an opportunity to talk about those things, right?
So, even though I’m a bit restless, I throw out ideas at random.
“So, it’s a filth bomb. It doesn’t necessarily have to be filth. It’s something sticky or viscous. Something that blocks your vision or makes it difficult to open your mouth. It’s something that sticks to your body so much that it makes no sense to use transparency. Chemically. It would be better if it was harmful. If you use something like an air cannon, an air gun, or something else, you can incapacitate everyone within a certain range, right?”
“Oooh!”
“Sound. Attack using sound. Is that only possible in movies? Anyway, the point of aerial combat is that. Breaking the opponent’s shield. There is a skill to break the shield. In the end, you have to hit it. But you use sound to give the opponent a sense of direction. There is a similar skill called vibration wave, but it is also blocked by the shield.”
“More! More!”
“You know that there is no gunpowder in this world right now, right? But that doesn’t mean there is no gunpowder at all. If you look inside fireworks, there’s gunpowder left, right? But when I tested it, if you collect more than a certain amount of gunpowder, it disappears. So, that means you can use a small amount of gunpowder in any way, right? Try using that too. .”
“More! More!!!!”
“I wasn’t kidding when I mentioned fentanyl earlier. A drug? You can synthesize it, right? If you can incapacitate the opponent, you should at least spray a drug concentrate. All you need to do is take measures to completely prevent damage to your allies with a gas mask and disease removal. Ah. Disease removal. .”
I actually talked to Dr. Choi like this on the spot for almost three hours.
Even Director Jeong, who was listening next to me, looked at me and said all kinds of things, and Dr. Choi brought two more new notebooks.
“Uh… I think I’ve said everything that came to mind at this point.”
“Director Jeong! You can attack Gaeseong without me, right? Don’t look for me for a while. I’m going to be busy. If you heard all of this, you won’t think about looking for me, right?”
Then, he quickly runs towards the direction he came from earlier.
Then it suddenly stops and runs towards me again.
“Thank you. Thank you so much!”
Professor Choi grabs my hand and shakes it a few times before running out again.
A man who literally disappeared like the wind. Really… It’s crazy. Really.
“I should have let you meet me sooner.”
“You seem really excited.”
“Because a person like that has been farming for 5 years.”
“Ah… I’m glad I didn’t go crazy. But how did I find someone like that?”
“I told you. There are all kinds of people in our fence. I knew for a long time that Dr. Choi was there. But it’s a skill that isn’t particularly needed for food production. But he came to the north and started using that skill.”
“Hmm. I’m glad I was able to use my powers before I went crazy. But I’m worried.”
“Yes?”
“What a guy like me is thinking is that it’s already being used somewhere?”
“Ah. That’s it. Of course, there were a few that looked like that, but probably very few.”
“Yes? Why?”
“Because it is not simply a story about cutting-edge science and technology. The conversation you two just had and the technologies that go into it must have three elements: understanding of skills, understanding of technology, and the infrastructure that can make it happen. Indeed, in a world like this, How many places can have all three?”
“Hmm. That’s right. It won’t be easy.”
“I can’t say for sure that there aren’t any, but even if there are, there won’t be a few places. First, as for understanding of skills… There don’t seem to be many people who can follow Seongcheol.”
“Ugh. Why are you suddenly praising me like that? Anyway… I’m glad it helped.”
“Help? Fortunately? Is it really just that much? It’s a short opinion, but… I think this could lead to crazy results.”
