Episode 617 Spaceship (1)
Allen Eberhart was a fanatic and loved attending various parties.
In the meantime, he asked me to go to parties with him several times, but I declined them all.
Because I am not a gwanjong.
But when it comes to launching a spaceship, it’s a different story.
The opportunity to see a giant rocket launch up close is rare, especially from the control tower.
I get bored if I go alone, so who should I take with me?
First, I went to SW Games.
“Is the new game development going well?”
“huh. The game itself is complete, but the problem is implementing it naturally in VR. “If it’s done well, I think it will be an incredible masterpiece.”
“Can you make it better than Quarter Life VR?”
For reference, Quarter Life VR is considered the best VR game in existence.
“It won’t be easy, but we have to try.”
Even though he says this, he looks confident.
I’m also looking forward to what kind of game will come out.
“If you have time, let’s go somewhere with me.”
Then Seon-woo immediately showed caution.
“Are we really going to listen to multi-level investment again?”
“No way. “I’ll take you somewhere nice this time.”
“where?”
I explained.
Seon-woo, who was preparing to refuse, seemed to be listening.
“Hmm, it’s a spaceship… … .”
When he seemed to be somewhat interested, I showed my utmost condescension.
“As you know, opportunities like this are rare. I am taking you with me. “Thank you.”
“Then go alone.”
“Hey, don’t be expensive. In particular, I would like to introduce you to Allen Everhart.”
“What do I do when I meet you?”
“They say they’re having fun with Overclock 2. You also promoted it on Twitter. “It would be fun to talk about it.”
It’s amazing that there are people like this in the world.
Even if I write it as a novel, won’t it be criticized for being improbable?
Seonwoo seemed inclined to go.
“But it’s still better than asking me to go listen to a multi-level investment investment.”
“Okay then.”
Seonwoo nodded.
“good. let’s go. “I had to go to Ice Storm once anyway.”
“Why the ice storm?”
“There’s also a new release coming soon.”
“ah!”
It’s almost time for Mephisto 5 to come out, right?
* * *
When I opened the front door of my house after work, I saw that the living room light was on.
Feeling an unknown sense of crisis, I quietly closed the front door and was about to step back, but Sena rushed out.
“Oppa, are you here?”
I said with a sigh.
“Why are you here again?”
“I stopped by because I was nearby and wanted to see my brother.”
“Why?”
Not coming is helping.
Sena said, grabbing my arm and dragging me.
“did you have your dinner?”
“yet.”
“Let’s order chicken and eat it.”
Come to think of it, it’s been a while since I ate chicken.
No matter how much money you make, you have to order and eat chicken regularly.
I ordered Hanjeong Chicken and ate it with Sena.
When we were young, when we ate together, we used to fight over who would eat one more chicken leg, but now that we have more time in our lives, we order one chicken per person.
This is why people must succeed.
Sena asked quietly as she bit into the chicken.
“Did you ask Uncle Allen about space travel?”
“Uncle Allen… … .”
I’ve only seen it once, but it seems like I’ve already developed an inner sense of intimacy.
My sister’s friendliness is… … .
“I’ll ask you later, so stop sending messages.”
Then Sena pouted her mouth and said.
“Tch! “Can’t you do me a favor for your sister?”
“… … .”
What kind of sister would ask you to travel to space!?
“Mom will be home next week.”
“Tell them I can’t go.”
“why?”
“Go to America.”
Sena’s eyes sparkled at the word America.
“okay? Sid already told me to come visit. “He says he misses me.”
“No way.”
“Really.”
“Don’t play with Sid from now on.”
“why?”
“It gets in the way of seed work.”
“It’s not. “Sid said things go better if you play with me.”
“… … .”
Where is this lie?
Could Sid have said something like that?
I shook my head.
“This time I’m going to Texas.”
“Why Texas?”
“Because there is a spaceship launch.”
For a moment after speaking, I thought it was a mistake.
Sena jumped up and shouted.
“really!?”
“Do you know what a spaceship is?”
“then! It’s a rocket. “They say you can ride it later and go on a trip to the moon and Mars!”
“… … .”
As far as he knows, Space Z was truly a success.
“I want to go see it too!”
“Why you?”
“Why? That’s because I miss you. “Take me too!”
“no.”
If you do everything you ask, your child will develop bad habits.
“Ah, why! Only my brother goes to see good things! I want to go too! “I want to go!”
“… … .”
Shall I hit you?
If it had been my younger brother, I would have already gotten a low kick.
“From now on, I will study hard and be diligent in my filial piety. “I will listen carefully to what you say.”
“… … .”
You just open your mouth and lies come out automatically.
You made three promises in one go that you couldn’t keep!
“Are you going to take me with you?”
“Hmm.”
This is the first launch of the spaceship.
And I already know what the outcome will be.
After seeing a rocket exploding in the air, wouldn’t you be able to say that you want to go on a space trip for a while?
“What about school?”
“It’s okay to miss a few days.”
“… … .”
If you have to go to school anyway, you won’t have to study, so if you take him on the weekend, you’ll only have to miss a day or two.
I asked Sena as if I was making a promise.
“Can you really work hard to be filial from now on?”
“Yep.”
“Are you listening well to your brother?”
“yes yes.”
I nodded.
“good. let’s go.”
Then Sena immediately hugged me.
“wow! “My brother is the best!”
“… … away.”
“Can I take the kids?”
“who?”
“Who is it?”
Is this Sena’s Friends?
It is easier to take care of him if he is taken with friends rather than taken alone.
“do it yourself.”
* * *
I headed to the airport with Sunwoo.
And there I met Sena.
“brother!”
Sena’s friends were next to her.
Sojin saw me and bowed her head in greeting.
“Hello brother.”
“Oh, Sojin. how have you been doing?”
“yes.”
It still looks cute.
I feel like I want to exchange it with my sister.
Following Sojin, Jo Yoo-kyung and Park Ye-jin also said hello.
“hello!”
“Thanks for having me!”
I never would have thought that Sena’s friends would gather in full force.
Jo Yoo-kyung and Park Ye-jin looked at me and their eyes sparkled.
“I heard about it from Sena. “My brother is the CEO of Continue Capital.”
“You’re also close with Allen Everhart.”
“You are truly amazing!”
“that’s right. “I respect you!”
For some reason, I shrug my shoulders as I get envious looks from the kids.
I am like this.
“Doesn’t everyone have to go to school?”
“yes. “I told the school about it.”
“We just need to submit a good report.”
“I gave up on this semester anyway.”
“… … .”
Seonwoo spoke to me secretly.
“It’s similar to when we were in college.”
“I know.”
Memories of leaving the attendance to a friend and going out to play come to mind.
Well, it is a once in a lifetime opportunity.
If it were me, I would have left school and run straight away.
Sunwoo also exchanged greetings with Sena’s friends.
I’ve met Sojin before when we went to Japan together, but this is my first time with Jo Yoo-kyung and Park Ye-jin.
When they heard that Kang Seon-woo was the CEO of SW Games, the two were surprised and said,
“I’m having fun playing Fantasia Tales.”
“I want Overclock 2!”
We all boarded the private plane together.
* * *
I have been visiting the United States as if it were my home, but this is my first time going to Texas.
Because I haven’t had anything to go to in a while.
When you think of the United States, the first states that usually come to mind are California and New York.
California is the center of the U.S. IT industry, represented by Silicon Valley, and New York is the U.S. financial center, represented by Wall Street.
Therefore, it is easy to think that these two are the 1st and 2nd largest economies, but… … Surprisingly, second place is Texas.
Texas has a population of 28 million, the second largest population after California.
And recently, it has been increasing even more rapidly.
There are two main reasons.
First, because it borders Mexico, immigrants are pouring in.
The problem is that most of them are illegal immigrants, so the United States is also struggling. No matter how many walls are built and inspections are strengthened, it is not enough to stop the influx of immigrants.
And the second one is Allen Eberhart.
Texas’ main industry, as everyone would expect, is energy.
WTI (West Texas Intermediate), one of the world’s top three crude oils, comes from Texas. Therefore, the headquarters of major U.S. oil companies are located in Texas.
In addition, because it is located next to a desert, not only crude oil but also renewable energy such as wind and solar power has been greatly developed.
Recently, the manufacturing and IT industries are also growing rapidly, and Allen Everhart is at the center of it.
If in the past the companies representing Texas were ExxonMobil, now they are Thisla and SpaceZ.
High-tech manufacturing plants and aerospace companies are being established, and related startups are also springing up.
Thanks to this, Texas’ population is increasing day by day and income is increasing.
Space Base, the SpaceZ launch site, is located on Boca Chica Beach adjacent to the Gulf of Mexico.
Nearby, there is a small airport exclusively used by Space Z, through which manpower and supplies come and go.
When I landed at the airport, I saw a familiar face.
A woman with red hair and glasses waved her hand widely.
“Hey, Miru.”
“Trish!”
We exchanged warm greetings.
“Are you here for reporting?”
“Sure.”
As a reporter, I can’t miss such an important event.
Spaceship is the largest rocket in human history.
As such a huge rocket was being launched, the world’s attention was focused, and media outlets from all over the world, not just the United States, gathered together.
The launch time is tomorrow morning.
I reserved a field trip course in advance for the kids.
Sena and her friends decided to go on a field trip with a guide and bodyguard, and Seonwoo said he was tired and headed to the prepared accommodation.
Then I looked around with Trish.
“I also brought my sister and friends.”
“yes. “Everyone said they really wanted to come.”
“You’re a good brother. “Do you know that there are a lot of tourists here right now?”
A cloud of people gathered around to watch the launch. It seems that some people drove from Austin and Houston, while others flew in from far away.
It looks as if a huge festival has taken place.
“How have you been, Miru?”
“Well, I spent my time working.”
I told him what happened so far.
“There were a lot of interesting things. “It would have been nice to have reported from Korea.”
I asked with a grin.
“What about Allen Everhart?”
“You seem to be out of your mind right now.”
Well, rocket launches are often canceled right before the countdown.
So you can’t neglect inspection until the last minute.
“Is the biography writing going well?”
“yes. I have a rough draft. Portion distribution is the problem. Even now, news is pouring in in real time.”
No matter how much I summarize it, I think it would be over 1,000 pages.
Trish looked at me and said.
“I will definitely write about Miru’s biography later.”
“Are you really going to use it?”
“sure.”
I thought for a moment and then said.
“There is one condition.”
“What is it?”
“Can’t you just write that I’m an only child?”
Trish asked as if she didn’t understand.
“What does that mean? “I have a younger sister who procrastinates.”
“ah! “I think there will be a lot of people who won’t like it if a younger sister appears in a book.”
“… … .”
