057 – Mass Effect
After almost a day of lengthy negotiations, Soo-jeong received authorization from DARPA for dozens of the latest U.S. military weapons, including a single F-35 Lightning II, an F-22 Raptor, and an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer that can track over 2,000 missiles at once. It was clear that these were by no means items that could be handed over to a foreign civilian company, but DARPA and the White House had no choice but to decide that the technology demonstrated by Soo-jeong in actual working samples was ‘worth trading for’.
Each piece of technology applied to the equipment Soo-jeong presented went beyond the common knowledge of the material universe that humanity possessed. There was anti-gravity generating equipment that could lift dozens of tons into the air with power consumption equivalent to an electric car’s battery usage. Next-generation explosive production facilities capable of delivering firepower stronger than any gunpowder ever used by humanity. Special Armor that was as thin as aluminum foil yet flexible enough to bend freely and block even rifle rounds. A next-generation CPU that boasted performance approaching that of supercomputers while being no larger than a thumbnail. And even battery technology using crystal cells that had several hundred times the capacity of conventional lithium-ion batteries. All these technologies could only be described as ‘Alien Technologies’.
The negotiation process left U.S. government officials flabbergasted. These technologies were so extraordinary that they made the “world’s most advanced military technology” in their possession look like something from the medieval era. Eventually, the U.S. government had no choice but to agree to Soo-jeong’s request, placing the condition that “the acquired technology must not be transferred to any other foreign government.” Besides, once they received these new technologies from Soo-jeong, the U.S. military would have to re-create all their equipment from scratch.
Throughout the entire negotiation, Myung-jun silently observed Soo-jeong’s negotiation, not uttering a word and merely watching her conduct the negotiations. As soon as Soo-jeong’s day-long “trade” concluded, Myung-jun asked her separately about the reason for conducting this deal.
In response to his question, Soo-jeong, with a truly astonished expression, turned to Myung-jun and asked, “Huh? You knew the reason, so you didn’t say a word throughout the negotiation, did you?”
“The reason I didn’t say anything is that I believed you had full authority over this negotiation, considering that all authority related to Liberal Clan’s technology currently belongs to you Senior.”
“So, you trust me so much that you didn’t say a word during such a significant negotiation?”
Myung-jun nodded, and Soo-jeong embraced him tightly, expressing great emotion. Then, she lightly kissed Myung-jun’s cheek and smiled sweetly.
“Thank you.”
“Well, I believe that you’d trust me unconditionally when I make an unexpected choice. Probably, even if I were pointing a gun at your head right now, you’d just smile like this and ask why I didn’t say anything.”
“That’s true.”
“So, this isn’t an interrogation, just pure curiosity. As far as I know, with the current level of technology you possess, there shouldn’t be a need for the U.S. military’s weaponry. So, what’s the reason for transferring U.S. military weaponry, even to the extent of handing over future technology?”
In response, Soo-jeong, with a serious expression, said to Myung-jun, “What I need is not the U.S. military’s ‘weaponry’ per se, but rather a kind of ‘system’.”
“A system?”
“Let me explain it in simple terms. As you know, with my abilities, I can easily create something like a fighter jet. Is that correct?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“A fighter jet created like that will undoubtedly fly at the speed I want, have the stealth capabilities I desire, and operate in the manner I want. The problem is that I don’t really know what I want.”
Soo-jeong was explaining that the process of making equipment felt similar to someone who had never made a car attempting to build one. They might know enough to design it to go forward when you hit the accelerator and stop when you press the brake, but even achieving the minimum requirements a car needed would be challenging.The original appearance of this chapter can be found at Ñøv€lß1n.
She used examples and analogies to make it easier for Myung-jun to understand.
“If I looked at the sixth car I made, most of the functions would be there, but I would have forgotten to install the windshield wipers. So, I would make a seventh car with the wipers, but forget about the windshield wiper fluid. Then, when I completed the eighth car, I would realize that the brake lights should come on when I press the brake.”
“Modern military equipment’s ‘generation’ does not simply refer to the time they were made. It contains all the problems identified and the efforts of developers to improve them over decades, not just the generation they represent. And my goal is to absorb the entire ‘history of effort’ that the U.S. military has accumulated up to now.”
“Just for that reason, you don’t really need to acquire the latest Aegis destroyer, do you? We don’t have any plans to operate the ship for now.”
“Of course, I won’t be building the ship, but the radar and anti-aircraft systems onboard the Aegis ship are quite attractive. Among the monsters, some can fly, right? If I utilize the know-how of the anti-aircraft system on the Aegis ship, I might be able to develop new Armor suit that can handle not just hundreds but thousands of them simultaneously.”
“So, you’re saying you’ll combine the nameless technology you acquired with the accumulated human knowledge of warfare?”
After pondering Soo-jeong’s plan for a moment, Myung-jun smiled at her and said, “I made the right decision to trust you senior.”
“Ahem! Remember, I’m the CTO (Chief Technology Officer) of the Liberal Clan?”
“Right! Chief Technology Officer Han Soo-jeong! You’re the best, Senior!”
“Hehe, give me more compliments!”
Upon Soo-jeong’s request, Myung-jun not only complied but also started to fly her around with his thumb in the air.
“The most beautiful and brilliant Senior Soo-jeong in the world!”
The problem was that for Awakeners to grow, they needed to hunt monsters, and this process often resulted in many deaths among Awakeners themselves.
“For example, if the U.S. military or the South Korean military confirms the manifestation of Awakener abilities in a soldier, they will immediately transfer that soldier’s affiliation to a specialized agency for Awakeners, such as the EDF. They will thoroughly manage and provide the safest environment for the growth of their abilities as valuable special personnel.”
“... But in the case of irregular groups like drug cartels, it’s difficult, isn’t it?”
“That’s right. If a subordinate acquires Awakeners while the boss is not an Awakener, the subordinate may perceive it as a kind of threat. Even if the abilities are manifested, the subordinate is likely to hide the fact from the organization until they are confident.”
“And if they succeed in growing their abilities...”
“Then they might attempt a coup or take control of the organization. For now, it would be advisable to use intelligence agencies to monitor the activities of drug cartels abroad. If an organization’s rank-and-file member with no background suddenly rises to the boss’s position, it’s likely to indicate that they are an Awakener.”
Myung-jun’s remarks were mostly based on events he had indirectly heard about before his regression.
Therefore, Myung-jun’s words naturally felt logical and quite persuasive, and the U.S. government showed significant interest in the “persuasiveness” contained in Myung-jun’s explanation.
“I believe Myung-jun is the person who is most accurately assessing the current situation. From that perspective, I’d like to seek advice... How can we increase the power to respond to the Gate incidents without dismantling the current order?”
“... That’s right.”
“In my opinion, substantial support for civilian clans is the way to go.”
Myung-jun said.
Basically, humans follow what benefits them, so if the gains from Gate conquest are more significant than the collapse of the established order, people will naturally steer their path toward Gates rather than cocaine plantations.
“In simple terms, if the benefits obtained through Gate conquest are greater than those of drugs, then we can naturally redirect the Awakener from cocaine plantations to Gates.”
Myung-jun explained that securing the large amount of cash needed for this process was not that difficult with Crystal Stones.
With Crystal Stones, it was possible to create batteries several times larger in capacity than conventional lithium batteries, generate an immense amount of power without any carbon emissions, and create special solutions capable of selectively decomposing specific substances in heavily polluted areas.
Myung-jun explained that this could become a miraculous solution that would solve all of humanity’s current concerns.
If they applied a little pressure at the beginning, the demand for Crystal Stones would naturally increase substantially within the world’s major corporations.
As Myung-jun’s explanation continued, when he asserted that Crystal Stones would become a more valuable resource for humanity than oil, the negotiation team from the White House began to understand why he was advocating for the freedom of civilian clans’ activities. If it were as Myung-jun said, then lower-level organization members, who had risked their lives to gain Awakener abilities, would not necessarily choose illegal drug cartels over legal activities.
“They will probably try to join an Awakener clan in that country as soon as they Awaken.”
“That’s right. And if the parent company operating that clan has its headquarters in the United States...”
“Ultimately, the U.S. government will secure new Awakener forces.”
“Exactly, the ‘freedom,’ which is like a symbol of the U.S. government, will become its most potent force. Of course, provided they can offer a fair compensation to the Awakener.”
“Is Liberal Clan included in that ‘power’?”
“If the conditions are met, then yes. After all, our goal is to establish an independent civilian clan that does not belong to the influence of any nation.”
Awakener abilities could be likened to tactical nuclear weapons that could be created in any country. Myung-jun’s proposal was not to attempt to control it but to create an atmosphere from the beginning that guaranteed freedom of activity for Awakeners.
If that were the case, ultimately, the one who could offer a better reward would become the owner of the new power, according to Myung-jun’s explanation.
After Myung-jun finished his explanation, there was a heavy silence in the conference room. Finally, when the President of the United States spoke, Myung-jun heard the answer he had been hoping for.
“In the emergency meeting at the United Nations next week, I will push for new international laws that reflect the intentions of the Liberal Clan.”
A declaration from the most powerful man in the world. It was the largest achievement obtained by the Liberal Clan during this trip, in addition to the technology trade negotiated by Soo-jeong.
