I Got Divorced and Found a Thousand Bitcoins Episode 129

The technological prowess KH Group demonstrated in the Nakdong Spine fire was enough to astonish the world.

“What are those drones?”

“I heard they’re drones deployed to the fire scene in South Korea?”

“Did South Korea have that level of technology?”

“That’s what I’m saying. The video description says one person controlled them. That’s got to be bullshit, right?”

“Of course it’s bullshit. Just looking at it, there seem to be at least 100 of them. Does it make sense for one person to control all that?”

Unless it was pre-programmed like a drone show, it wasn’t easy for one person to control multiple drones.

That’s why experts who saw the footage judged that either multiple people controlled them or AI was involved.

“By the way, what was that electromagnetic field that came from those drones?”

“According to the explanation at the press conference, it was electromagnetic waves that confine flames taking physical form?”

“No way, is that kind of technology possible?”

“Theoretically, it’s possible. But implementing it is a different story.”

“Just how amazing is KH Group’s technological capability?”

Experts around the world were amazed by KH Group’s technological prowess.

This fire caused over fifty percent of the forests on Tonggo Mountain and Baekbyeong Mountain to disappear.

On top of that, residents living nearby lost their homes, suffering great damage.

In this situation, the first to move to rescue them was not the government.

Rumble rumble rumble—!!

“Put it over here first!”

Heavy equipment came in and placed modular housing on the evenly spread ground.

Whirr—!

Modular housing was a type of housing that had recently gained worldwide attention.

It had the advantage of being able to build houses quickly by completing the interior and exterior in a factory and installing them on the site.

Increasing the number of floors was also very simple, so modular housing was being sold extensively in the United States as well.

“Alright, everyone let’s do the finishing work!”

“Yes!”

They put down the modular housing marked with KH Construction’s logo and began the finishing work.

The finishing work was simple, and a house was completed in an instant.

Broadcasting cameras captured this scene, spreading it nationwide.

“This is the scene where KH Construction workers are installing modular housing for disaster victims who lost their homes in the great Nakdong Spine fire.”

As KH Construction workers installed the modular housing, the disaster victims examined the interior of the houses.

The news filming team also entered inside and began filming.

“Wow…”

“They built it so quickly. The interior is no different from an apartment.”

“That’s right. I didn’t know the completion level would be this high.”

“Mom! Hot water comes out well too!”

“The floor is nice and warm?”

“It seems better than our house.”

The disaster victims were amazed by the modular housing they were seeing for the first time.

The filming team felt the same way.

They filmed the interior in detail and accurately conveyed information about the housing to viewers.

Not stopping there, they put Kang Myeong-gu, the representative of KH Construction, in front of the camera.

“Modular housing was made using our KH Construction’s cutting-edge technology, and it has the advantage of being a type of housing for the future and providing a foundation for life to those who lost their homes in natural disasters like this one.”

A reporter watching him passionately speak about the advantages of modular housing asked.

“What will be the rental fee for this modular housing?”

The reporter naturally thought money would be involved, but an unexpected answer came from Representative Kang Myeong-gu’s mouth.

“It’s free!”

“Free?”

“Yes! We will provide free rental of modular housing to disaster victims who lost their foundation of life due to natural disasters until they recover their lives!”

The disaster victims cheered at the word “free.”

Although it was called modular housing, the interior facilities were in no way inferior compared to decent apartments.

Being able to live in such a house without paying felt like an incredible privilege.

However, there were conditions.

“But there are conditions.”

“What conditions?”

“You must participate in the daily life recovery project of the Disaster Reconstruction Planning Team operated by our KH Group.”

“What does the daily life recovery project do?”

“It’s a project that can help disaster victims who lost their foundation overnight to quickly return to daily life.”

Representative Kang Myeong-gu raised his voice.

“We will provide practical help so they can stand up again by offering quality jobs, and for those who suffered shock from the disaster, professional medical personnel will come to the site to help with psychological treatment.”

The Disaster Reconstruction Planning Team wasn’t simply a place that rebuilt areas buried by disasters.

Its purpose was to help disaster victims who suffered shock from sudden disasters return to daily life again.

This was one form of social contribution.

“For students who have difficulty commuting to other areas, we will set up emergency classrooms nearby to operate children’s education and after-school programs, so we hope disaster victims will take heart and focus on recovery!”

Kang Myeong-gu’s words were equivalent to KH Group’s position.

The disaster victims also gained motivation one by one from the fact that there was a place helping them.

“That’s right! We can’t collapse like this!”

“To return to daily life as soon as possible, we need to work!”

“KH Group is right!”

“Let’s try again!!”

The scene of disaster victims raising their voices and building motivation was broadcast live nationwide.

While Kang Myeong-gu was talking about KH Group’s support for disaster victims.

Nathan and the Disaster Reconstruction Planning Team began rebuilding Tonggo Mountain and Baekbyeong Mountain.

“Team members over there, it’s dangerous so please move back!”

“Yes!”

At Nathan’s shout, the team members stepped back.

Judging that safety was secured, Nathan pressed a button on his glasses.

Then a 3D environment was overlaid on reality.

A kind of augmented reality was created.

“Shall we begin.”

Swoosh—!

When Nathan extended his arm, a 3D joystick was grasped in his hand.

When he moved the joystick that was like controlling an airplane, the robots placed in front of him began to operate.

Whirr—!

Rumble—!!

The types of robots were diverse.

From robots that walked on two legs to robots that moved with belt-driven systems like tanks.

Dozens of robots moved according to Nathan’s commands.

“Good. Let’s clear them out one by one starting from there.”

Rumble—!

Crack!

When Nathan moved the virtual joystick he held in his hand, the robots moved and began restoring the disaster area.

The reconstruction team members who saw this couldn’t help but be amazed.

“Wow… How many robots is Dr. Nathan controlling by himself?”

“That’s right. Dozens of robots are moving in perfect unison.”

“Like with the drones last time, Dr. Nathan seems to have expertise in control.”

“Most of all, the fact that he created all that technology himself is amazing.”

The robots currently restoring the disaster areas were creations made by Nathan.

In just over a year since coming to Korea, he had been producing truly diverse results.

You could glimpse his genius in these aspects.

“Now, we can’t just sit around like this. At this rate, Dr. Nathan will end up handling all our work too!”

“Yes!”

KH Group’s reconstruction team set out to rebuild the mountain.

While the group’s personnel were busily continuing reconstruction work at the disaster site.

Kang Hyeon was meeting face-to-face with Kim Su-gyeom, director of the Disaster Management Headquarters.

“We received tremendous help from KH Group this time.”

“Many citizens suffered damage. This much is naturally what we should do.”

“Thank you for saying that. Normally, the President should present you with a commendation, but his schedule overlapped with a foreign visit, so he asked me to convey his verbal gratitude.”

A nation’s president is very busy.

With schedules that take them around the world, meeting with him was difficult.

‘If the wildfire had grown larger, he said he planned to return to Korea.’

This wildfire was fortunately contained in advance, but if it had spread in earnest along the Nakdong Spine, it would certainly have become a disaster covering the entire Korean Peninsula.

“And the President said he was impressed by the scene of KH Group’s robots performing at this disaster site.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes. Moreover, seeing how useful the robots are at the reconstruction sites currently underway, he said he would consider relaxing related regulations.”

“That’s good news.”

This was what Kang Hyeon had wanted.

When politicians saw scenes of robots performing at disaster sites and extinguishing wildfires, they couldn’t help but be tempted.

Knowing this, he spared no active investment in disaster sites.

‘Enormous lobbying funds go into lifting regulations. Compared to that, restoring disaster sites this way is actually more profitable.’

While this reason existed, there was another, bigger reason.

“If you need anything in the future, please contact me or my aide anytime.”

“Thank you, Director.”

Kang Hyeon exchanged greetings with the director and left the Disaster Management Headquarters, heading to Seoul.

Arriving in Seoul, Kang Hyeon headed to KH Capital.

Originally, he should have visited KH Capital when the fire broke out, but he had canceled his schedule due to the sudden situation.

As he entered KH Capital’s office, employees immediately recognized him and showed proper courtesy.

“Chairman, have you arrived?”

“Hello, Chairman.”

Receiving greetings from the employees, Kang Hyeon suddenly felt their gazes had changed.

‘They’re still intimidated, but those eyes are…’

Receiving their changed gazes, he arrived at the President’s Office.

When the secretary guided him and opened the door, Kwangho rushed to greet him in his stocking feet.

“Chairman, have you arrived?”

“Yes, nothing unusual happening?”

“Haha, still the same as always. Secretary Kim, please bring two iced americanos.”

“Yes, President.”

After the secretary closed the door and left, Kwangho immediately spoke casually.

“Hey, sit down.”

“Wow, look at you dropping formalities the moment no one’s around.”

“You’re more comfortable with this too, honestly, right?”

“That’s true.”

Kang Hyeon was still more comfortable with this kind of setting with a friend than being called Chairman.

Soon iced americanos were placed in front of the two men, and as the door closed, they continued their conversation more comfortably.

“These days, whenever I turn on the TV, there’s nothing but talk about our group?”

“That’s good. The news is doing our group’s image-making for us. And in the direction we want, no less.”

“That’s true too. Who would have known the media would build our image by calling us a more virtuous company than others.”

The media originally didn’t like large corporations like groups very much.

So they always took a stance of trying to attack them, but KH Group was an exception this time.

Since public opinion was so favorable, the media was also pouring out only good stories about KH Group.

“By the way, I heard you’re supporting the disaster zones this time?”

“Yeah. I did some personally, and at the group level, we’re creating a new team to provide systematic support to disaster zones.”

“Ooh, that’s a good idea? Since when have you been thinking like that?”

“Support?”

“Yeah, I didn’t know you were interested in giving back to society.”

“I’ve been saying it since before.”

Kang Hyeon said while picking up his coffee.

“That if I made a lot of money, I’d donate a lot.”

At his nonchalant words, Kwangho made an incredulous expression, then soon chuckled.

‘It’s surprising that you remember the idle talk we had while drinking. But to make it reality…’

Kwangho also grabbed his cup and brought the iced americano to his mouth.

‘You haven’t changed at all.’

He enjoyed the time spent with his unchanged friend.
