Black Corporation: Joseon - Chapter 526
Episode 526 Rolling, rolling… (7)
Mochiyo Ouchi, who took control of Kyoto, entered Heiankyu, where the Tenno resided. (Note 1)
The soldiers of the shogunate who guarded the palace had already disappeared. However, blood traces left here and there showed how they disappeared.
Mochiyo and the military officers who entered Tenno’s main shrine, escorted by Ouchi soldiers, knelt in front of Tenno and showed respect.
“Jichōgannin (在庁官庺) Tatara Ason Mochiyo of the Tataragonikishi family comes to see Tenno!”
In accordance with established etiquette, Mochiyo bowed while revealing the family name Kabane (the surname bestowed by the Tenno) of the official position the family had received.
Sadal happened right after that.
Before Gohananojo Tenno, who had received Mochiyo’s bow, could open his mouth, one of the nobles present had shouted.
“Where is this insignificant warrior from a remote village coming in armed? “This is the royal palace where Tenno resides!”
As soon as the nobleman finished speaking, the officers under Mochiyo looked at the nobleman in question with a fierce expression. Likewise, Mochiyo, looking at the nobleman in question, gave an order.
“He is a traitor who conspired with traitors. “Take it out and endure it.”
“hot!”
As soon as Mochiyo finished speaking, the officers under his command got up from their seats and dragged the nobleman in question away.
“Let go! These shameless bastards! your majesty! your majesty!”
As he was dragged away with both arms held by the warriors, the nobleman desperately begged Tenno for help. However, not only Tenno but none of the nobles present could open their mouths.
He was overcome by Mochiyo’s momentum.
Mochiyo, who quickly overpowered the situation, led the situation as he wanted.
“How much hardship have you endured because of the traitors? Please rest assured now that God has come. “You will be able to find peace as soon as we clear out the traitors and the traitors within the government as well as the families of the traitors.”
In response to Mochiyo’s words predicting great bloodshed, Tenno swallowed his dry saliva and answered.
“Is that so? “I will only trust you.”
“Please leave it to me.”
“Please don’t let the people of Kyoto go through great hardship.”
“I will do so. Even after the relocation of the capital, the people of Kyoto will be at peace.”
“Thousand degrees?”
“It’s called Heaven!”
The moment Mochiyo uttered the word ‘cheondo’, there was a great commotion in the royal palace.
“Should we move the capital?”
Mochiyo answered Tenno’s question firmly.
“There are still many remnants of traitors remaining, making it difficult to preserve Your Majesty’s safety. “As time has passed and the country’s energy has weakened considerably, it is natural to move the capital to revive the country’s energy.”
“Then where are we going?”
“There is a place called Hiroshima in the Aki region. “He will take over the palace there as soon as it is completed.”
“…I understand.”
Mochiyo answered without hesitation. Tenno, who was about to say something to Mochiyo’s appearance, immediately nodded with a resigned look.
After finishing the audience, Mochiyo and the military officers left the palace with majestic steps. One of the nobles who witnessed this scene that day left the following record.
-If Dong Zhuo of the Later Han Dynasty abandoned Luoyang, then Mochiyo of Ouchi abandoned Luoyang of Japan!
* * *
When Mochiyo was creating a new regime in the Japanese country, Hyang was shaking his ass.
“Ah-oh! What I have to say is Taesan! My mouth is so itchy I can’t live! I can’t believe I just have to watch something so interesting! “I want to intervene!”
It was Wan’s challenge to force the fragrance to hold onto his itching mouth and his shaking hips.
The experiments that followed immediately after starting the design and creating the prototype were a series of failures.
In the experiment of jumping with wings made from thinly shaved bamboo and paper feathers, injuries continued to emerge, and the lawmakers assigned to Area 51 were busy treating those who suffered bruises, sprains, and fractures.
Whenever failure continued, Wan and the team members put their heads together to analyze the cause of the failure.
“Were the wings too small? “Why not try making it bigger?”
“I think it’ll be okay.”
As soon as the wings grew so large, they broke in the middle, unable to bear their own weight.
“To increase the strength… use thicker bamboo and some iron parts…”
The wings made that way could not be lifted by oneself.
After that, experiments continued, but they continued to fail. As a result of the successive failures, the interest of luxury artists began to wane.
“Then yes. “Is it possible for a person to fly in the sky?”
“cancer! cancer! “For a person to fly in the sky, what else is it but flying?”
The gossip of such luxury people reached the ears of Wan and his team members, and they fell into despair.
“Is it really impossible for a person to fly in the sky?…”
* * *
In the end, Hyang pulled out the safety pin.
“Ah-oh! “My mouth is itching and I can’t stand it!”
There was also a very good excuse.
“You have to push the growing sprouts! cancer! “Of course!”
Hyang happily intervened with the very good cause of cheering up his despondent son.
“I’m just going to dip my toe in! Just a little bit of foot! “I have no intention of taking away my son’s rice bowl!”
* * *
“Have you called me?”
“okay. “The experiment we’re currently conducting isn’t going well?”
In response to Hyang’s question, Wan nodded with a gloomy face.
“It seems that flying in the sky with a man-made object is not natural, but rather contrary.”
In response to Wan’s seemingly desperate answer, Hyang asked again.
“Do you really think so?”
“Not only the children but also the team members tried every possible method they could think of, but they failed. So…”
“Then how does a kite fly in the sky? What about sky lanterns? Aren’t both of them made by humans? A question arose while reading my reports. “There are objects that people make and float in the sky, such as kites and sky lanterns, so why do you only insist on the shape of a bird?”
Wan answered Hyang’s question right away.
“Aren’t kites and sky lanterns just things that float on the wind? But birds fly in the sky as they please, so of course…”
“You bastard!”
Hyang interrupted Wan.
“What you’re saying right now is like a child who is just starting to move from one side to the other and saying he’s going to stand up and run! First of all, it is natural to know how to knit properly! “If you figure out how to float properly, wouldn’t all you have to do is study how to move in a certain direction?”
“ah!”
Wan, who was awakened by Hyang’s shouting, bowed his head.
“It is so! Listening to Soja’s father’s words, I feel as if my eyes have been opened! “I will resume my research immediately!”
After thanking Hyang, Wan immediately left his seat and went outside. Hyang, who saw Wan regaining his energy and running gallantly, smiled slightly and murmured.
“How much for a taste first?”
* * *
Wan excitedly returned to Area 51 and summoned his team.
“Let’s think again from the beginning!”
“yes?”
Wan, who saw the group members losing their minds, continued speaking.
“I went there after receiving a call from Seunghwadang…”
When Wan told the group members what they had heard from Hyang, they looked like they had been struck for a moment.
“indeed!”
“It is indeed so! “I got the order of things wrong!”
Wan and the team members took a hint from Hyang’s advice and began to move vigorously again.
“First, let’s divide the group into two groups.”
“One group studies kites and the other group studies sky lanterns?”
“exactly? “Wouldn’t that speed things up a bit?”
As expected, the group members all nodded at Wan’s decision, as he is a person who likes to ‘hurry, hurry’.
“That’s right!”
In this way, Wan and his team members were divided into two groups and began research.
The members of the kite-based team made and flew large and small kites and began researching whether they could actually carry people.
“I think it could be successful if we use the shield kite as a base.”
“yes?”
With that in mind, they soon drew up plans and blueprints. And Hyang, who accepted their plans and blueprints, shook his head.
“Are you a ninja?”
However, even though he expected a negative result, Hyang gave his stamp of approval.
“Because this will all become important data…”
Meanwhile, those studying sky lanterns were also producing their own results.
“After thinking about the principle of a balloon, it appears that it traps heat and blows it away.”
Wan nodded at Manbok’s report.
“I think so too.”
“Then, if we make the pocket that traps the heat large, wouldn’t it be possible to float even with a person on board?”
Another group member added his opinion to Manbok’s suggestion.
“If you make a pocket that big, will it hold its shape? Wouldn’t it be better to build a framework in your pocket?”
“skeleton?”
Jo Won added an explanation to Wan’s question.
“yes. The best way to fill your pocket with heat is to blow hot air from underneath the pocket. However, if the mold is not maintained properly, the heat may leak in other directions, and if done incorrectly, it may catch fire. That’s why you need to build a framework in your pocket.”
“Hmm…”
“Hmm…”
After hearing the proposal, Wan and Manbok’s team members were deep in thought. But Wan shook his head.
“It would be better to remove the skeleton. “It gets too heavy, so there’s a chance it won’t float even if you fill it with heat.”
“Then if we make it bigger…”
Manbok cut off his words.
“Then the size of the framework that needs to be built needs to be increased, right? “Then isn’t the road still in its place?”
“Ah…”
* * *
After all these difficult discussions and experiments with models, the challenge was ready again.
Of the two groups, the one that challenged first was the one that was studying kites.
People gathered again at the rumor that an experiment was taking place along the Hansu River.
“Fuck you! “Fuck!”
“Buy Gyejak! “ Gyejak”
“There are sweets too!”
Amid the shouts of merchants selling all kinds of snacks, the crowded crowd looked with excited eyes at the team members preparing for the experiment.
“You’re a kite? “It’s a kite!”
“big! “It’s as big as a house.”
On the sandy beach by the river, a shield kite the size of a real house was built. A basket for people to ride was hung in the center of the shield kite, and underneath it, the team members were gathered together and making final preparations.
“Gruntcha!”
The team members, who were carrying heavy bags of sand in baskets that would normally have to be carried by people, ran to Wan, who was standing on one side, and reported.
“Ready!”
“Then let’s begin!”
And the experiment failed. The shield kite, hanging on a rope pulled by four course horses, soared into the sky, but soon lost control, spun around and landed on the sandy beach.
The moment the kite landed, the sandy beach was filled with people’s sighs.
“Aye~.”
“Oh my~.”
The onlookers could not hide their disappointment, but the faces of Wan and other team members shone brightly.
“But it floated properly, right?”
“That’s right!”
“Then let’s analyze what the problem is and then try again!”
“But the budget…”
“Don’t worry about the budget!”
It was Wan who calmly made noises that made the Minister of Finance and Economy and Kim Jeom laugh.
And in fact, the Minister of Finance and Economy and Kim Jeom grabbed the back of their necks and gritted their teeth.
“What the heck, father and son in pairs!”
“It doesn’t have to look like this!”
