Black Corporation: Joseon - Chapter 529
Episode 529 Rolling, rolling… (10)
Three days later, Hyang visited the research institute.
Upon hearing that Hyang had visited the lab, all the researchers at the lab, including Lee Wan, came out to greet him.
The eyes of the researchers who came out to greet the scent were surprisingly full of worry.
‘Why on earth are you coming?’
‘He’s the kind of guy who always leaves a lot of homework for me…’
Representing the feelings of these researchers, Kim Dam asked his wife, Princess Justice, in a low voice.
“Do you know anything?”
Princess Justice shook her head in response to Kim Dam’s question.
“I don’t even know the notebook.”
* * *
Hyang entered the conference room with the researchers full of worry, went up to the podium and looked back at the researchers.
“I am very happy to see you here despite your busy research activities.”
Hyang started speaking with a simple greeting and soon walked to the blackboard and wrote the word ‘Yeol’ in large letters.
Hyang, who wrote the words ‘heat’ and ‘熱’, continued speaking.
“This heat is essential for human life. Without heat, you can’t survive the winter and you can’t cook and eat food, so you get sick easily. And the process of melting iron and copper to make tools also requires heat.”
The researchers nodded at Hyang’s words, while their doubts began to rise.
‘Why a story that everyone knows?’
Hyang continued speaking, perhaps knowing what the researchers were thinking.
“ruler! But now we have created a steam engine. The principle of a steam engine is to boil water with heat and use that power. And not long ago, a bhikkhu was also launched. “In other words, we are harnessing the power of heat.”
As he spoke, Hyang wrote the words ‘yeok’ and ‘力’ next to the word ‘yeol’.
“ah!”
“no way!”
At that moment, Soonji Lee and Dam Kim let out exclamations and screams at the same time. After seeing the two people’s reactions, Hyang nodded slightly.
‘As expected…’
Confirming that his prediction was correct, Hyang asked Lee Soon-ji.
“Deputy Director Soonji Lee, do you understand what I’m trying to say?”
To those words, Sunji Lee responded with a trembling voice due to excitement.
“In the process of developing steam engines and improving blast furnaces, many heat-related formulas and data recording results were created. Are you asking me to find a law that runs through those formulas and data?”
“That’s right.”
At Hyang’s words, the faces of all the researchers present turned white.
* * *
Many trials and errors followed to create steam engines, improve blast furnaces, and create heat treatment processes to make better quality steel, and as many results as the trials and errors remained as data.
What Hyang said now was to re-analyze all the data and the formulas created for the experiment to find the most basic law.
* * *
Hyang continued, looking at the frozen researchers with white faces.
“The steam engines and other objects that have been created so far that utilize the power of heat are at a level where satisfactory results can be produced just by improving the power or size of the objects through repeated trial and error. But when we think about the future, we cannot rely on trial and error forever.
Ships on the sea are getting bigger and bigger, and the institutions that operate them will also get bigger. The same goes for iron horses. In such a situation, is it possible to produce results only through trial and error?
“This is a huge waste of manpower, money, and time.”
The researchers all nodded at Hyang’s words. This was because they too were slowly starting to hit a wall with similar problems.
“However, if you know the most basic laws, you can completely eliminate nonsense and predict the results to some extent by substituting variables into the laws and related formulas. “You don’t realize what a huge advantage this is, right?”
Researchers responded to Hyang’s question by nodding their heads.
Looking at the researchers’ reactions, Hyang added letters to the blackboard.
‘Thermodynamics Science of Heat’
“If only we could figure out the law for this problem and find and prove the link that exists between the many formulas we have created so far! “We can help more people by converting one of the abstract providences that exists in all things into concrete numbers and formulas!”
With Hyang’s words, the researchers’ mood began to change. They were so proud and self-confident that they used as a slogan the outrageous phrase ‘Only mathematics can give the answer.’ When Hyang saw that the
researchers’ spirit was starting to burn, he saw the blackboard. A new character was written:
‘energy (氣力)’
“If you look at steam engines and monks, they all use heat (heat). So what is heat? What is the power of heat? I call this part energy. “It means the ability to work.”
At Hyang’s words, the Joseon researchers all nodded. The phrase, ‘I don’t have enough energy to work,’ was so common that they could immediately understand its meaning.
Hyang . He continued writing on the blackboard.
“To put it in Western language…”
Hyang wrote the word ‘Εnergia’ on the blackboard. The monks who saw the words Hyang wrote nodded in unison.
Seeing the researchers’ reactions , Hyang continued speaking,
“What is the existence of this energy and what types are there? Is it possible to measure it? If so, how can the power it possesses be calculated? We need to observe, analyze, and think about these aspects to find out. .”
At Hyang’s words, ‘?’ appeared on the researchers’ faces at the same time.
“If it’s hard to understand, let’s take an example. What is the relationship between heat and fire? What is the main and what is the slave?
To put it simply, fire. When you burn a kiln, it generates heat, which can cause burns and burns. However, you can often see paper in a hot kiln burning without even a spark. In that case, heat can burn and burns can burn out. To give another
example, consider a lightning strike. Let’s think about it: how is the thunder energy of a lightning strike created, what are its characteristics, and how can people utilize the power and abilities of the thunder energy from the stories of houses and trees burning down and people dying when struck by lightning? “You have to try it. All of these are collectively called energy.”
The researchers seemed to understand Hyang’s explanation to a certain extent, but they still had expressions of uncertainty. Eventually, Angelo came forward and asked a question.
“I understand thermodynamics. But is there a need to study energy as well?”
The scent immediately answered Angelo’s question.
“The most basic part of thermodynamics is to know the nature of heat, and if you want to properly understand the nature of heat, shouldn’t you also know the correlation with other forces?”
“Oh, I see.”
Angelo nodded at the description of the scent. Hyang, who was looking at Angelo, cautioned the researchers.
“ah! In the process of researching thermodynamics and energy and establishing theories and formulas, it is absolutely prohibited to try to fit what you have learned so far. What we will study from now on will have to take a truly unexplored path. Let’s not make the mistake of killing an animal on a bridge.”
In response to Hyang’s words, Jeong In-ji asked a question.
“Are you saying that we shouldn’t be caught up in the egoism that Zhu Xi discussed?”
“That’s right. “You should not be caught up in yin-yang or the five elements, but start from nothing.”
In response to Hyang’s firm reply, Jeong In-ji muttered to herself.
‘It’s really fortunate that they were all wiped out in the Giyu Rebellion.’
Jeong In-ji took a step back, but this time Giovanni stepped forward.
“But if you do it wrong, you can dishonor God’s providence.”
At Giovanni’s words, Incense’s face became fierce.
“Is God’s providence really what is written in the Bible?”
Before I knew it, Hyang’s tone of voice had changed. Giovanni nodded when asked about the scent.
“That’s right.”
“Don’t you think the Bible is too thin to record all the providences of the universe? And I read it, and most of the Bible records the actions of the prophets, the actions of the dogmas, and the apostles who followed those dogmas? In which part is there any discussion of God’s providence for all things? “You’re not saying that everything is possible with Genesis alone, right?”
“….”
Giovanni, who was struck by Hyang’s question, kept his mouth shut.
After Giovanni’s remarks, there were no further objections. Jeong In-ji, who roughly grasped the situation, began to take steps to organize things.
“I guess I should raise it to Ugong Isan level in the challenge log, right?”
“Yes, this is Wukong Isan Sangsang (上上).”
“Indeed…”
Jeong In-ji nodded at Hyang’s words. This was because even three generations or at least 100 years seemed insufficient to see the end of the research that Hyang had mentioned so far.
“Phew~.”
Jeong In-ji, who was sighing as if she had met a distant, blind Taesan, shook her head slightly when she saw Lee Soon-ji. Right now, Sunji Lee’s face was shining so brightly that she could be recognized from 10 miles away.
‘That damn math monster…’
In this way, ‘classical physics’ was born at least 200 years earlier than the history before the intervention of Fragrance – the standard for Newton’s birth.
And Lee Wan, who saw this scene from the side, smiled bitterly.
‘Your father is leaving after throwing a very large lightning bolt.’
Wan, who had accumulated knowledge through education at the Kanghakwon and Military Academies, was able to see how enormous the task posed by Hyang was.
‘The problem is that I am also caught in the explosion range of that Bigyeokjincheonroe…’
Wan, who thought that far, sighed softly without realizing it.
“Phew~.”
Wan, who was looking for a solution to the dark situation, soon found a suitable refuge.
“For the time being, I’ll just have to focus on improving the Bhikkhu with Director Cho in Area 51.”

Hyang left the conference room and headed straight to the censor’s office.
“I’d like to meet you, Crown Prince!”
The interpreters working at the censorship office politely bowed as soon as they saw the incense.
“Thank you for your hard work. “It’s a lot of work.”
All the interpreters bowed their heads in admiration under Hyang’s praise.
“I am devastated!”
After praising the interpreters for their hard work, Hyang got to the point.
“For the time being, let’s relax the censorship standards for letters sent from monks in the western region to their hometowns.”
“yes?”
“As long as the research they write in the letter is not too deep, just send it.”
The interpreters gaped at Hyang’s words. After a moment of silence, one of the inns spoke.
“Um… my lower self. The small people come as interpreters. “When they write down the formula, we cannot know the severity of it.”
“I’m fighting back, sir. “Among the contents they wrote, the contents about objects such as steam engines were selectively deleted because their importance could be immediately identified, but it has been the custom until now to simply erase everything that contains formulas.”
Hyang thought about the interpreters’ words for a moment and then opened his mouth.
“If you find any letters with that formula, send them to me.”
“Yes sir.”
After doing her business in the inspection room, Hyang smiled bitterly and muttered.
“My workload has increased. By the way, if things go well, will the damn things that made me give up on math come out? “Things like calculus and math… things that still make me grind my teeth when I think about them.”
