Black Corporation: Joseon - Chapter 525
Episode 525 Rolling, rolling… (6)
Manbok literally burst into tears as he joined in the work with Wan.
“You gave me the name Manbok (滿腹) so that I wouldn’t have to live hungry, but instead of eating, I ended up bursting out of work… I have a lot of work to do… Hiyu~”
Manbok sighed, complaining about his situation.
It was a good thing that I had a relationship with Seson, but I couldn’t rest because they chased me and asked me questions whenever I had a chance. At first, many craftsmen besides Manbok answered the questions, but at some point, Manbok became the sole person in charge.
“Why am I the only one…”
“You are the one who knows the most about the entire area 51. “Do your best.”
“Wouldn’t it be nice to see you, who has a small age difference with His Excellency Seson, stepping forward?”
In this way, Manbok became solely in charge of the three sons.
And now Se-son had thrown a bomb at Man-bok.
“I will fly!”
* * *
“Eh… uh… um….”
Manbok, who was dazed as he stood like a jangseung, managed to come to his senses and stuttered to ask Wan.
“Uh… so… dick… did you say you were going to fly?”
“That’s right!”
In response to Wan’s confident answer, Manbok asked another question.
“Then how will you fly to heaven?”
“From now on, we will find out together with you!”
“Mr….”
Manbok desperately tried to contain the profanity that was about to come out, but pointed out the reality.
“I believe that no one has ever put the idea of humans flying in the sky into practice. According to what the elders say, we must take the path of ‘unexplored knowledge.’”
“Isn’t that even better! If you are a leader who embraces hoyeonjigi, there must be times when you take such an untrodden path! “Once I’m done, I’ll start working right away, so get ready too!”
Manbok, who was looking at Wan’s back excitedly after finishing what he had to say like a rain shower, looked up at the sky and sighed.
“Whoa~. Damn it! “The sky!”
Manbok, who was glaring at the sky with eyes that looked like they were going to eat him, soon made a decision.
“I can’t be the only one who dies! cancer! “Master said the same thing!”
That evening, Manbok proposed his opinion to Wan.
“Your Excellency, I have been thinking about it and this is what I came up with.”
“If you try anything else, I won’t listen.”
“That’s not it, as I said during the day, flying in the sky means taking an untraveled path. “It’s too much for just you and me.”
At Manbok’s point, Wan nodded with a serious expression.
“That’s true.”
When Wan agreed, Manbok got to the point.
“That is why it is about bringing people together. “First of all, we have to register it in the challenge record, and then we gather people to brainstorm and experiment together.”
Wan, who listened to Manbok’s suggestion and thought about it for a moment, soon nodded.
“That would be better. There is a saying, ‘It is better to hold a blank piece of paper.’”
Wan agreed with Manbok’s words and unfolded the paper.
“First, I need to write a plan. “I can’t just register it in the challenge log on my own.”
“That’s right. “That’s right.”
At Wan’s words, Manbok nodded repeatedly and cheered inwardly.
‘Let’s go! If you do well, you might be able to fold the game altogether!’
However, Manbok’s predictions were spectacularly wrong.
It was a mistake to forget about the existence of incense.
* * *
Jeong In-ji and Lee Cheon’s reactions to Wan’s plan were just as Man-bok expected.
“Is this possible?”
“Young…”
The two shook their heads at the same time. But I couldn’t throw it away right away. This was because the person in charge of the plan was Seson, the person in charge.
“I think your judgment will be necessary.”
“If you were me…”
Lee Cheon, who knew Hyang’s eccentricities well, reacted negatively, but Jeong In-ji continued with an expression that said there was nothing he could do.
“What are you going to do?”
It was a short phrase that condensed several meanings into one, but Lee Cheon understood it immediately and nodded weakly.
“That’s the biggest problem. Haha~.”
* * *
Hyang carefully studied the plan posted by Wan and looked at Jeong In-ji and Lee Cheon.
“It would be a good idea to list it on the challenge list. “The grade is Wukong Yisan Award.”
“Is it possible for a person to fly in the sky, no matter how high the level of Wukong Yisan?”
“At first, you thought it was impossible for a cart to move without being pulled by a horse, right?”
The two people, who were speechless due to Hyang’s retort, bowed their heads and retreated.
And the next morning, a new notice was posted on the bulletin board of the laboratory and Area 51.
“New registration in Dojeonrok?”
“New registration? “How long is this?”
Researchers and artisans flocked to the bulletin board when they heard that a new item had been added to the challenge log.
The researchers and artisans who gathered in front of the bulletin board with eyes full of curiosity could not hide their surprise as soon as they checked the contents.
“Flying in the sky?”
“A person flies in the sky? Is it possible? “Who came up with it?”
The researchers and artisans who confirmed whose idea it was quickly nodded.
“Then that’s right…”
They were people who immediately understood, thinking of Hyang and Jinpyeong.
“They say you can’t steal seeds…”
The researchers and craftsmen who understood that point soon began to think carefully with serious faces. Their concerns were all the same.
‘It looks like fun, should I join in?’
These were researchers and craftsmen who had suddenly become addicted to incense.
* * *
Soon, researchers and craftsmen began to gather one by one in front of Wan’s office.
What was interesting was that among those gathered, there were two monks and Muslims.
When it seemed like everyone had gathered to a certain extent, an emissary came out and set up a table in the conference room.
“Thank you for responding like this!”
Entering the conference room, Wan warmly welcomed the applicants.
Wan welcomed the applicants and got straight to the point as soon as they sat down.
“’Man flies in the sky.’ “What do you think is the first thing we need to do to make this plan a success?”
In response to Wan’s question, everyone gathered in the conference room began to think about what to take as a starting point.
After a long time passed and no opinions were expressed, Wan opened his mouth.
“Isn’t it true that the idea that it is impossible for humans to fly came about because someone had tried before and failed?”
All applicants nodded to Wan’s point.
‘There must have been someone like the Crown Prince in the past!’
Once the applicants agreed, Wan quickly moved on.
“Then, let’s start by collecting and examining related tales and myths.”
“yes.”
* * *
Wan and the volunteers began analyzing the tales and myths they had collected.
“Except for the fact that Fable Deungseon became a saint and flew into the sky.”
“yes.”
“Next, excluding the fact that I flew on a crane and the clouds, and excluding the fact that I flew on a winged horse.”
Wan and the volunteers filtered out everything they could from Eastern and Western myths and legends.
After filtering out everything, the one that seemed most plausible was the ‘Icarus myth.’
“It’s a myth like other myths, but the production process and limitations are all plausible, right?”
“Of course.”
All applicants nodded to Wan’s evaluation.
“Then let’s make a plan based on this myth. What about the name of the plan, ‘Plan Icarus’?”
One of the monks opposed Wan’s proposal.
“Icarus eventually fell and died. “I think Daedalus, who created wings and succeeded in flight, is more suitable.”
“I guess that’s right. “Thank you.”
In this way, the ‘Daedalus Plan’ got on track.
After receiving the plan, which recorded the structure of the aircraft, the material manufacturing process, and the test schedule, Hyang reviewed it carefully and approved it with a few conditions added.
-The height from which you will jump in the first test should be less than 1 piece (approximately 3m).
– When increasing the height, be sure to install a safety device on the floor.
“If this goes wrong, it won’t just end with a back smash or a cast, it will cost your life!”
As Hyang’s approval fell, Wan and the applicants got busy.
Pheasants that were flying well were caught and dissected, and in the design room, calculations were made busily, using branches and abacus. When the design was completed to some extent, all the chickens in the poultry farms in Hanseongbu were plucked.
As the results of the ‘Daedalus Plan’ gradually took hold, luxury figures in Hanseongbu began to show interest.
But Hyang had no time to pay attention.
This was because Ouchi had finally entered Kyoto.
* * *
In Japanese history, Ouchi, who won a great victory in a battle called the “Joint Battle of Ikuta Shrine,” immediately gained momentum and advanced toward Kyoto.
“Stop it! “If you don’t stop it, it’s over!”
The shogunate families desperately resisted Ouchi’s advance. However, the greatly lost power could not be replenished and they were helplessly pushed back.
As the shogunate’s defeat deepened, feudal lords who secretly switched to Ouchi began to appear one by one.
“I couldn’t help it under their pressure!”
“I didn’t have sex with them because I wanted to!”
All of the lords who moved to Ouchi made excuses, saying that they did not do it because they wanted to, and Mochiyo, the head of the Ouchi family, consoled them with a kind face.
“Is that so? I understand, I understand. “Isn’t it all the fault of those traitors of the shogunate?”
Mochiyo, who comforted the converted lords and sent them away, looked at his vassals with a cold face.
“Be prepared to organize things as soon as the world is pacified.”
“hot!”
* * *
With the defeat in the battle at Naniwa (Osaka’s old name), the shogunate army was completely collapsed, and the Ouchi army finally entered Kyoto.
“Punish the traitors!”
“Wow!”
Ouchi’s soldiers flocked to the residences of key families of the Muromachi shogunate under the pretext of ‘punishing traitors.’
Many people lost their lives at the hands of the soldiers who flocked in, and looting continued.
And as soldiers from the allied territories that came in later joined in the murder and plunder, flames began to rise throughout Kyoto.
Mochiyo, who was watching the scene from his horse, gave an order to his men.
“Secure as much wealth as possible and make sure to burn what needs to be burned. Only then will the transfer of the capital become easier.”
“hot!”
Mochiyo put into practice the ‘relocation of the capital’ proposed by the Munchi faction.
* * *
After hearing the report that Kyoto was clearly under control, Mochiyo drove his horse and headed for Heian-kyo.
“Then shall we meet the Emperor now?”
* * *
After receiving the report that ‘Ouchi had entered Kyoto,’ the governor immediately discussed the future with the ministers.
“With this, I guess we can say that Mr. Daenae has taken control of power?”
“That’s right. However, we will have to wait a little longer to see whether they will take control of the entire country.”
In response to Heo Hu’s answer, Hyang immediately asked a question.
“Why is it going to be all over the country… will it be okay?”
Hwang Hee came forward and answered Hyang’s question.
“Right now, I think it’s possible because Daenae’s military power is strong. But I think long-term rule is half and half.”
“why?”
“This is because Kyoto is far away from the base where everything of the Daenae Clan is located. “It is the same principle that the farther a branch is from the root, the more easily it dries out.”
Hyang nodded at Hwang Hee’s point.
