Gold and Silver Alchemist - Chapter 124
said one of them, sitting close to Dog sh*t.
“Isn’t it very cold at night these days? come with us I’ll put you in a warm place and buy you something delicious. do you like chicken Or pork feet?”
The dog poop didn’t respond.
First of all, I couldn’t understand Korean.
But I could tell just by looking at their behavior and facial expressions.
It never came with good intentions.
jump-
Dog sh*t got up from the bench.
And started walking towards the outside of the park.
Then one of the group followed and grabbed the dog sh*t by the hair.
“This disregards people’s favor!”
It’s clear now.
Gae Ddong accurately saw through their identities.
‘It was a thief!’
Even after 1,000 years, bandits still existed.
It was obvious why they were targeting the penniless self.
‘It must be a ploy to sell me to a gibang (妓房).’
swish-
The dog sh*t put his arms behind his back and grabbed the wrists holding his hair and twisted them.
Udududuk-
Wow-
A woman with a broken wrist screamed.
Although the elixir was depleted, it did not mean that the basic stamina was also lost.
Since childhood, he has been trained to do all kinds of dirty work.
Despite her slender body, she was called a merchant girl in the village because she could easily carry a load of wood the size of a house.
Embarrassed women ran at once and shouted.
“hey! You want to die?!”
Pak-
Fak Fak-
The women who had only believed in numbers and attacked were knocked down one by one after being beaten by Gadddong’s fists and kicks.
They couldn’t even see the movement of the dog poop properly.
It was a dog dung who mastered the martial arts of the Korean peninsula and the central plains.
He couldn’t use magic because he didn’t have an elixir, but his martial arts skills were still the same.
grunt-
A woman who had been knocked down raised her upper body and shouted somewhere.
“brother!”
Then the men appeared.
The dog poop looked at them.
‘There were more gangs.’
The gaze of the man who had been walking in the lead lingered on the fallen women for a while, and then moved to Gaetddong.
“Are you hitting? Did you go to taekwondo academy when you were young?”
chuck-
The man pulled out a jackknife.
Then he walked slowly towards the dog sh*t and said.
“I will give you one more chance. Will you quietly follow us? Or do you want to spend your life here?”
swish-
The dog sh*t approached the man at great speed and snatched the knife.
“what?!”
The man was dazed for a moment when he saw that his favorite knife was holding dog poop in his hand.
However, he immediately came to his senses and shouted to his friends.
“hey! Step on it!”
rumble-
All the men raised their tools, such as screwdrivers, knives, and hammers, and rushed at Gadddong.
hiss-
shush-
The dog sh*t moved quickly between them, brandishing a knife.
rumbling-
Blood flowed from the foreheads of all of them.
I deliberately cut only the same place.
They frowned as the blood got into their eyes.
“f*ck! I can’t see any!”
In that gap, Gaetdung delivered a decisive blow to them.
puck-
puck puck-
The men hit by the vital points collapsed with bubbles.
The duel was over in less than a minute.
rattling-
The women trembled like aspen trees and looked up at Gaetdung.
I wanted to run away, but I was so scared that my legs couldn’t move.
There was also a woman who urinated upon seeing the men who fell in blood.
trudging-
The dog sh*t approached the woman who had been talking to him with a bloody knife.
Then she got scared and backed away.
‘Oh, don’t come!’
She was blocked by a tree behind her and could not retreat further.
Then, with trembling hands, he took something out of his pocket.
“Sah, save me! I’ll give you all my money!”
What was in the woman’s hand was a yellow bill.
swish-
The dog sh*t took the money like a hawk snatching its prey.
It read 50,000, a number five times greater than 10,000.
There were 10 such bills.
each-
The corner of the dog sh*t’s mouth went up.
I already learned that the unit of money is ‘won’ while buying snacks at street vendors.
I also learned how to pronounce the numbers by listening to people shouting numbers in the lottery room.
“oh···.”
The dog sh*t opened its mouth and started making noises.
“Five hundred thousand won!”
She spoke Korean for the first time.
***
‘I’m living pretty well.’
Now that I’ve cooled my head watching dog poop, I’m going to build a spaceship.
The design was done in <Room of Freedom>, but the production cannot be like that.
Even if you make a spaceship in your dream, you can’t use it in real life.
I went down to the basement and took the arch from my inventory.
cool-
The space under the arch shuddered and the teleportation gate opened.
Entered the second factory through the gate.
Spaceships will be built here.
‘Previously.’
First of all, we will make a golem.
I bought the right to mine the diamond mine, so I will start mining soon.
So they needed male golems to work as miners.
I can’t hire regular miners because Antarctic diamonds will be decorated as if they were mined in African mines.
‘Let’s use this opportunity to make a lot of golems.’
He had made a very large kiln that could make 30 golems at a time.
Jumulreok Jumulreok-
The manager, Kim Seo-yeon and other golems knead the clay and put it in the kiln.
Soon, 30 pieces of dough settled in the kiln.
chin-
The kiln door was closed and the temperature was raised to over 1,000°C.
I stretched out my arms toward the palanquin.
pat-
The coffin wire that came out of my hand wrapped around the palanquin.
I pictured the Golem’s appearance in my head.
It was difficult to associate the looks of 30 different people at the same time.
For now, I’ll make them all look the same, and then I’ll use <Transformation Magic> to give each one a personality.
.
.
.
Made 90 golems in 10 days.
‘Let’s do this for now.’
Kim Seo-yeon brought all the newly born golems into the <Room of Freedom>.
Golems will grow rapidly there.
After the period of stormy rage, I will first teach the theory necessary for mining minerals.
You don’t need practice.
Golems are incredibly smart, and will figure out a task in an instant when put into the field.
And after the job training, he will also teach swordsmanship.
In peacetime, I work as a miner, and in times of need, I become my soldier.
‘Then shall we continue what we are doing now?’
Let’s build a spaceship while waiting for the golems to grow.
‘produce!’
pat-
A magic schematic was drawn in the air, and the entrance to the 3D Printer opened.
I threw various materials into it and started processing the parts of the spaceship.
.
.
.
The design was perfect, so the spacecraft was completed in three days without a hitch.
‘stylish!’
I was very satisfied with the actual appearance, exactly as expected.
I will do a test drive right away.
I’ve already tested the performance in simulation, but I have to do it in real life.
I’m thinking of doing a few laps around the globe.
hiss-
I put the entire ship in my inventory.
I got out of Factory 2 and stood in the garden.
There will be no going up from the surface in a spacecraft.
chu chu chu chu-
I put on a rocket suit.
Then, it disappeared with <invisibility> and soared into the sky.
At first, it ascended quietly with <Psychokinesis>, and when it reached higher than the cruising altitude of the passenger plane, the suit’s rocket engine was ignited.
Woo woo woo-
It soared at a tremendous speed and rose to an altitude of 50 km.
This is where the stratosphere ends, and the atmosphere is very thin.
‘Let’s board here.’
hiss-
Take the ship out of your inventory.
Jessica was sitting in the cockpit.
From noble mtl dot com
Jessica was the name of the golem who was in charge of piloting the spacecraft.
I sat down on the chair and ordered her.
“Let’s start slowly.”
“yes! president! Ignite the rocket engine!”
Woo woo woo-
The twin rows of <Magic Engineering Rocket Engines> began emitting bluish plasma.
“Engine output is 0.1%!”
“Keep it that way.”
“Yes, boss!”
Woo woo woo-
Slowly the spacecraft gained altitude and came out of the atmosphere.
Looking out through the window, I could see the blue earth below and the black universe above.
“Raise the output to 5%!”
“yes! president! I will raise the output to 5%!”
Woo woo woo-
I felt a tremendous gravitational acceleration along with Jessica’s blessing.
Looking out the window, the scenery was changing in an instant.
After a while,
“I have circled the globe and passed the starting point!”
In a matter of minutes, it circled the globe.
“already?! What is your speed now?”
“The current speed is 200,000 km/h.”
The speed of Voyager, which is continuing its voyage out of the solar system, was 60,000 km per hour.
It was flying at more than three times faster than that.
Originally, at this speed, it was normal to escape the earth’s gravity and bounce into space.
Jessica’s fantastic directional control allows her to circle the Earth.
“Once again we have passed the starting point!”
“Did you do another round?”
The second wheel turned much faster than the first.
Because there is no air resistance, the engine power is not reduced, so the spacecraft continues to accelerate.
“Slow down!”
“yes! president! MAIN ENGINE STOP! Start reverse thrust!”
Woo woo woo-
The engine spewed plasma in the reverse direction and began to slow down.
And after a while, the ship came to a complete stop.
Whoa-
let out a long breath.
For the test drive, this was enough.
Later, I will go out into the distant universe and raise the output to 100%.
Looking down through the window, I saw the African continent.
While we’ve come this far, we should inspect the diamond mines.
hiss-
Added the ship to the inventory.
And descended vertically towards Africa.
.
.
.
When I entered the field office, President Park and Chief Kim were waiting for me.
“Welcome, Chairman!”
I was worried that I would be in a hurry if I suddenly visited, so I called and came from nearby.
“Thanks to the president’s hard work, things were solved very easily!”
Because of GME, I failed to bid for mining rights every time, but when they suddenly gave up several bids, I was able to choose and buy them.
So, Koreans bought a diamond mine in a small, unknown country.
Diamonds can be mined legally here for the next 20 years.
“This is a safe place even affiliated with the Kimberly Process!”
Africa is in constant civil war.
So, in some cases, the proceeds from diamond mines flow to finance the war.
People call such a diamond a blood diamond.
Thus, an international consultative body called the ‘Kimberly Process’ was created.
Several countries around the world have entered into an agreement to prevent the circulation of diamonds used to finance wars.
Many countries, including Korea, the EU, the United States, China, Japan, and India, are member countries.
“Sometimes the civil war itself is caused by diamond mines.”
There are many times when civil wars break out over the possession of diamonds, not ethnic conflicts or religious issues.
The most representative case was the civil war in Sierra Leone.
Decades ago, a 968.9-carat rough stone was found in a diamond mine there.
The third largest rough diamond in the world has been named the ‘Star of Sierra Leone’.
And then the misfortune began.
A civil war broke out over the mines where large and high-quality diamonds were mined.
And the scale of the war grew as neighboring countries with their eyes on diamonds intervened.
The civil war lasted for 11 years, even as Western countries supported their own military armies.
As a result, many people died.
When there was a shortage of soldiers, the military kidnapped children, drugged them, gave them guns and axes, and turned them into murder weapons.
In the end, 350,000 of Sierra Leone’s total population of 4.5 million died as a result of the civil war.
“There was no civil war here because the diamond mines were not very good.”
Director Kim replied to President Park’s words.
“Diamonds are about to pour out, but is anyone coming in with a gun?”
“Don’t say stupid things! Words become seeds!”
However, there was a point in Kim’s words.
I told President Park and Chief Kim.
“Come to Korea before mining begins. There might be a war here.”
