Episode 995: The Clear-Eyed Madman (20)
Before installing the new power engine, Wan wanted to check something.
“I want to see with my own eyes whether that new de can fly properly.”
“Yes, I will prepare.”
Following Wan’s orders, the craftsmen began disassembling the flying frame and loading it onto the iron horse. In some ways, Wan’s order could have been close to a waste. I’ve already seeded, but I’m doing it again. However, no craftsmenined about this.
“Fly! Fly! If you seed properly, you can be proud of it from generation to generation! I mean, from generation to generation!”
“If you want to seed, you have to experiment at least one more time!”
We all knew that the more experiments and tests we conducted, the more problems we found. And the more problems you solve, the higher your chances of sess. If there was a problem, it was the budget. However, if Wan himself was involved, budgetary issues were not a major obstacle.
Hyang, or rather, since the reign of King Sejong, it was the habit of the imperial family to open their own pockets when necessary. Therefore, the craftsmen were so excited that they disassembled the flying frame and ced it on an iron horse.
“Let’s go to the exam room!”
“It’s a test! It’s a test!”
Wan chuckled at that and spoke to the head craftsman next to him.
“It’s really strange that you like exams. I still vividly remember how when the Emperor was attending school, he would shudder whenever he heard the word ‘exam’.”
The head craftsman responded to Wan’s words with an embarrassed expression.
“This test and that test are different…..”
“A joke. A joke. What kind of joke do you take seriously?”
“Ah aha ahaha…”
Behind the head craftsman, sweating and smiling awkwardly, the officers in charge of recording were recording all of this with simr expressions.
-… So the situation relieved the craftsmen’s tension with a light joke.
The officer says: Since ancient times, a frog has faced a life-or-death crisis when a stone is thrown by a child. The higher a person is, the more careful they should be about their words and actions…..
“What do officers use so much?”
“Oh no!”

The iron horse, fully loaded with Wan, craftsmen, and a test flying machine, headed southeast. The ce where the iron horse was heading was where the Cherokee tribe lived. In history before the intervention of the scent, the ce was called North Carolina.
Another interesting fact was the location chosen by the artisans of Area 52 as a testing site. The site was where the Wright brothers conducted their flight experiments before the intervention of scent.
“The flight test site is quite far from Area 52. Is there a reason why this location was chosen?”
“This is because most of the winds blowing are gentle and the sand is soft, so even if yound incorrectly, you won’t be seriously injured.”
“I see. You must have had a hard time finding such a ce.”
“Aboriginal artisans helped us a lot.”
“Right.”
Five dayster, the car carrying Wan arrived at its destination.
“I’d like to meet you, Sang-tae!”
When Wan got off the tform, the waiting Cherokee chiefs, governors, and administrative officers in charge of the Cherokee region greeted them. Wan exchanged greetings with each of them with a smile on his face. Wan, who greeted peace advocates wearing traditional Cherokee or imperial uniforms and officials wearing war chief uniforms wearing imperial military uniforms, ended his greetings with a face full of regret.
“I would like to enjoy a banquet with you all, but I am very disappointed that I cannot. Instead, I will stay at the Area 52 testing site on the beach for the time being, so let’s talk there.”
The chiefs and officials responded to Wan’s words by bowing their heads in unison.
“I’m devastated!”
“Then I’ll go first.”
As the carriage carrying Wan disappeared into the distance, the chiefs and officials who had been paying respects bent their backs and let out a long breath.
“Whew. I guess I can take a breather now.”
“We must try to ensure that your stay is not inconvenient.”
“That’s right. You have to suffer.”
“Since it is a matter of managing the situation, there is no way to avoid suffering, right?”
Although they were grumbling about the hard times ahead, the faces of the chiefs and officials were shining brightly.
‘This is an opportunity! ‘You can’t miss this opportunity!’
For the chiefs and officials who were suffering from all kinds ofints from the Cherokee tribe, this event was a golden opportunity that could not be missed. In the past, people used the method of writing an appeal or directly visiting Shinji Temporary Pce to file aint. However, the amount of appealsing from all over Shinji was beyond imagination, and the number of people visiting the vi was enormous.
To what extent, I had to wait five days from arriving at Shinji Vi Pce, announcing my visit, and meeting Hyang or Wan. This was despite the fact that considerable discretion was granted to tribal chiefs and governors. Therefore, Wan’s business trip was an opportunity that could not be missed by the Cherokee chiefs and officials in charge of the Cherokee region.

The artisans who arrived at the testing site with Wan diligently prepared for the test. The craftsmen inspected the reassembled de several times and reported to Wan.
“Really? Then let’s get started.”
As Wan stood up, he looked back at the Cherokee chiefs who hade to visit him at the right time.
“Would you like to take a look together?”
“It is an honour!”
Thus, in the test held in the presence of the stubborn chiefs, the flying machine flew brilliantly into the sky. The flying frame, which ran along the gliding rails on a line pulled by a steam engine, soon soared very smoothly into the sky.
“It’s up!”
“It’s up!”
“hurray!”
When the de rose safely, the craftsmen cheered and chanted for national independence. They were even more excited about the sess achieved in a situation where not only Wan but other ‘high-ranking people’ were gathered. The flying machine, which had stably circled the sky, also seeded innding safely. When the aircraft, which hadnded smoothly using anding sled, came to a halt, craftsmen rushed to move the aircraft to drynd. Satisfied with his sess in the test, Wan congratted the head craftsman sitting next to him.
“Thank you for your hard work. Now let’s put on a power engine and give it a real challenge.”
“Just leave it to me!”
As the courageous head father-inw rushed to the scene, Wan looked back at the Cherokee chiefs who were with him.
“How do you feel?”
“I’ve seen it a few times before, but I’m always just amazed.”
“That’s right. A person can fly in the sky. It’s surprising.”
Wan, who was smiling and nodding to the chiefs’ words, subtly took the bait.
“Those des will be used more heavily in the future. That means those who know how to make those des and the workshops that make them will be treated more and more preciously. Of course, it won’t happen in a day or two, but it will happen in advance. “The more you prepare in advance, the more fruitful the results will be, right?”
The Cherokee chiefs, who understood Wan’s words, bowed their heads in unison and responded.
“I am so grateful to you for giving such valuable advice!”
“We will gather young talents and send them to Area 52!”
“I will discuss with the other chiefs to find a suitable space for the battle!”
“Thank you, thank you.”
Wan, who had seeded in roasting and boiling the Cherokee chiefs, muttered to himself.
‘Tae Sang-tae’s teachings are being used again here.’
-Be sure to get it when you can.

With the sess of the non-powered flight of the de, the craftsmen gained courage, but the problems that followed were not easy.
“Oh my… I received a new power engine, but I can’t use it, so stupid!”
There were several types of new power engines sent from our headquarters. However, there was not a single organization that was a perfect fit for the flying machine created by Area 52. Either too big, too small, or too heavy.
“In the end, we have to make it ourselves using this framework.”
The craftsmen in charge of the power engine of the de quickly packed their bags and returned to the 52-gun. The good news was that among the data sent from Area 51, there was also data on power and weight. The craftsmen who were designing a new power engine for the flying machine based on the data book sent by Area 51 soon had to face a big wall.
-In order to generate enough power to fly the de, the size of the power engine must berger than expected!
-In order to mount this power engine, the de frame must be redesigned.
“Is it worth redesigning?”
The head craftsman answered Wan’s question.
“Well… because the engine is heavy, the structure of the part where the engine is ced needs to be strengthened, and as a result, the center of gravity bes distorted… so it has to be redesigned.”
“Hmm… I see. I understand. Please try your best.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
After the head craftsman left, Wan looked out the window with a very disappointed face.
“They say there’s nothing easy in this world… Tsk!”
Wan clicked his tongue and turned his attention to the documents.
“In times like this, you have to work it out!”
…
They said they would solve it with work, but before I knew it, Inga-wan was also obsessed with this problem. This was because flying was something he had been obsessed with since he was the crown prince.
“Starting with a redesign takes up too much time… The answer is minimal remodeling…”
Wan, who believed that the right answer was ‘to make the most of the existing design’, began to think about ways to satisfy this. .
“Hmm… it’s not easy.”
Feeling frustrated, Wan got up from his seat and went to the window to look out. Wan, who was looking at the sea view and the craftsmen at work outside the window, was momentarily shocked.
“Ah! Nae-gwan!”
“Did you call me, Your Majesty?”
Wan’s expression suddenly brightened, and he quickly called the eunuch and delivered the order.
“Call the head craftsman!”
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
After a while, the head craftsman came in, and Wan got straight to the point.
“A power engine. Does it have to be just one?”
“yes?”
After seeing the head craftsman’s expression, Wan expressed his thoughts more easily.
“This is when moving a cart carrying a heavy load. Sometimes it is pulled by a horse or ox from the front, but isn’t there also a case where people hang back and forth and move it? Let’s do it that way. Divide the power engine into two and attach it to the front and back of the de. “Rather than having a heavy power engine that pulls and pushes from the back and sits on one side, it runs back and forth, so it will be bnced, and since it splits one piece into two, won’t the weight be lighter?”
“Huh? Huh? Uh! Ah!”
The head craftsman, who had unconsciously let out a strange exmation at Wan’s words, soon nodded with an incredibly bright face.
“Then I think it’s quite possible!”
Soon after, the blueprint for a new de using Wan’s idea was delivered to Wan.
“Hmm… Hmm. Hmm! It looks good!”
Satisfied with the newly submitted blueprint, Wan gave orders to the head craftsman.
“Let’s make it like this!”
“yes!”
“And make me some copies. I need to send them to Seoul and show them off!”
The head craftsman immediately responded to Wan’s words.
“I will make a copy and upload it as soon as possible!”
‘Whenever I get the chance, I’ll give those arrogant Area 51 guys a shot!’
And again, the captain of the emergency ferry that set sail after receiving ordersined to the navigator.
“This is our situation these days. It seems like it has be a regr line rather than an emergency line.”
* * *
Meanwhile, Hyang, who had received the blueprint from Seoul, ced her hand on her forehead.
“What is this terrible hybrid…..”
‘Mixing a Do-335 with a bine!’
