Chapter 1877 – [Visitors From Another Dimension]
A visit to Delta Castle, and a school specializing in magical engineering along with medical technology at Delta Castle… No, are you planning to make it a city like that, so it will be an educational project rather than a school? Anyway.
At the time of Dark Lord Castle, the aftermath was no joke, but with another bomb exploding on top of that, the reaction was naturally strong. This is because many issues or inquiries were raised.
Of course, he will answer that question. If you create friendly public opinion and build sides in that way, it will be easier to work later.
“I think pharmaceutical companies will likely suffer damage due to medical technology partnerships. Do you have any plans to deal with that?”
“Rather, we should think the opposite. Rather, pharmaceutical companies will be able to produce and sell more new drugs due to advanced medical technology. I also plan to provide various support to domestic pharmaceutical companies, so you don’t have to worry about that.”
“Domestic? Then what will you do with foreign pharmaceutical companies?”
“If I were the president of the Republic of Korea, I would have to think about domestic companies and Korea’s development and profits, and not need to think about overseas things. I’m not being cold-hearted, but when I’m the president of a country, isn’t it normal to support my country’s companies?”
It’s spacious too. Why should I care about overseas companies? They have Korean citizenship and pay taxes to our country? Then they will acknowledge it.
Ultimately, politicians have no choice but to pursue their own national interests. You can take losses for the sake of diplomacy or allow other countries to benefit, but the moment you pursue only the interests of other countries, you become a traitor.
No, but honestly, why should overseas companies be generous just because they are pretty? As I just said, do they pay taxes to Korea? My nose is the size of a stone, so you can take care of it yourself.
After skipping that part, I was asked the next question. This time, it is a matter related to the Magic Engineering School.
“Is this newly established magic school only open to Koreans?”
“That’s not true. We received help from Delta Castle and Dark Lord Castle for construction, so it’s the same as receiving help from other countries, but we can’t accept only Korean students. We plan to accept international students from all over the world, regardless of age, gender, or nationality. “I only intend for Korea to benefit from the process.”
“Oh?”
“Then…”
In terms of medical technology, only Korea will benefit, so the rest should be left out. Even if I’m a bad guy, and I’ve shown you how to destroy a planet before, if you let complaints build up, you’ll get a backlash, and it’ll be annoying. We need to be a little more concerned about overseas anti-Korean or anti-Korean public opinion.
It is not just a loss, but if you accept overseas students, you will also generate various additional profits. Just as you spend money when studying abroad, this time, students from overseas will come to Korea to study and spend money.
When you think about the economic benefits and jobs that come from it… No, isn’t there a shortage of people even though the birth rate is low? Well, it’s difficult to replenish the population overnight. So, the birth rate issue was put aside.
But really, what should I do? It’s good that good jobs have been increased, but if they are increased too much, it seems like there will be a shortage of manpower. Even if people start having babies today, it will still be 20 years before they become human resources.
“I think it would be better to replace it as much as possible with foreign workers or automation through machines and artificial intelligence.”
“That must be so. Ah, but did you secure the site for the Magic Engineering School?”
“There was good land in North Korea, so I decided to go there. It’s close to the Kaesong Industrial Complex, so transportation is relatively easy, and it’s a good place.”
“It’s not that far from Seoul, so it’ll be okay. Once we’ve secured the site, the next step is construction…”
“It will be over quickly since it is done at Dark Lord Castle. Since ancient times, civilizations with advanced technological capabilities have reached a point of singularity due to construction technology and new materials, so construction speed is not an issue and safety and design are more important…”
I’m going on for a long time because I don’t think anyone is an expert in architecture. Still, it doesn’t matter because it’s cute.
First, it’s construction and everything, so it’s going to take some time. At best, it’s a weekly basis, but I handle other work in the meantime.
Medical technologies shared at Delta Castle. Oh, it’s not just a simple technology, it’s developing new medical technology or medicine in line with the level of medical science on Earth, such as by receiving and cultivating bacteria or germs that can extract chemical substances, such as penicillin from blue mold.
“Currently, we are researching treatments for various incurable and incurable diseases, such as allergies, diabetes, cancer, leukemia, and AIDS, using data and materials affiliated with Delta Castle. We plan to recruit volunteers for clinical trials soon, so if you are interested, I would appreciate it if you could refer to the government website.”
It’s not that I don’t believe in Delta Castle’s technology, but not everyone on Earth does that, so clinical trials are necessary. To be honest, I would like to release a new drug right away and save many people’s lives, but I have to take steps to avoid talking about it later.
Instead, when conducting clinical trials, the subjects were mainly people who had poor results or were in urgent need of immediate treatment. In any case, people at that age will find it worthwhile to use the medicine and its effectiveness will be proven, so it is actually a good thing.
And people who were dying from complications in addition to the disease in question got better within a few days after receiving the clinical trial. Those few days were just enough time for the body to accept it, so it was practically a miracle drug, so we were asked to release it right away.
“Pancreatic cancer… In just a few days?! It’s a cancer with the highest mortality rate?!?!”
“No matter how high the cure rate for leukemia is, it’s only about half of the cure rate, so why are we treating patients with severe disease like this…?”
“Oh my god!!!!!!”
For reference, related experiments were carried out not only in Korea but also by bringing in other medical staff from overseas. In a situation where Korea was the sole leader, we did things that benefited us, so we tried to prevent the outflow of manpower, but there were people in the world who really stepped up for the sake of people, not for money or anything like that.
There are people who come to Korea despite giving up their nationality. Well, on the one hand, it’s good to have more medical personnel.
Thanks to this, not only the person treated through the clinical trial but also their family expressed their gratitude. I visited to keep an eye on things to see if things were going well, but I was embarrassed to be baptized by such people.
“President!!!!! President!!!!!!!!!”
“Thank you, my dear, thank you so much. I don’t know how to thank you for this…”
“When I heard I had terminal pancreatic cancer, I thought I had to die, but now I’m almost completely cured!!!!! It’s all thanks to you, President!!!!!! I really, really, thank you. Next time you run for election, I’ll be with my whole family. I will vote for you again!!!!!!!”
“No, if you really care about me, it would be better not to pick me…”
“Yes?”
I don’t want to be president twice!!!!!!
Anyway, the medical technology side is extremely favorable. After that, all that was left was to get the drug approved and release it as is.
People who need medicine right away can receive it separately in the name of a clinical trial and use it. Then, fewer people will die waiting for the drug to be released and people will get better.
Since this has been roughly resolved… What remains is the story of the Magic Engineering School, or rather, the Magic Engineering Education District. Since we were trying to make an area a specialized area, there were many things to take care of.
“Because of the study of magic, people expect something like Hogwarts.”
“We are going to build a school based on Delta Castle. Ah, but this isn’t just for college students, is it?”
“First, we will provide education in three-year increments. And at least, we will allow students to enroll after graduating from elementary school.”
“Oh, it’s not bad. I won’t educate the child in an unusual environment from the beginning.”
“But speaking of admission criteria, if you select based on talent, those who work hard will fall behind, so isn’t there something we can do to select those kids separately?”
“Hmm, something like a will meter? Anyway, the kids’ level is about the same, but I can still measure it and draw it out. Oh, should I try using it by transmogrifying it into a magic hat or something?”
“Hey, that’s a good idea. The kids will like it.”
“You’ll have to deal with the copyright issues. We don’t have a base here…”
“Don’t worry about that.”
Even in dimensional civilizations, there is technology to measure and detect will to some extent. The reason why people can communicate even when they speak with will in dimensional communication is because of such technology.
If you use that, even children who are somewhat sincere can filter it out. Of course, there are children who can’t do that and fail… But it can’t be helped. It’s a relative evaluation, so we can’t enroll everyone, right? It has to be filtered out to some extent.
“We are currently building it separately with our own technology… Are you interested in a secret passage?”
“Oh, where do I install it?”
“First of all, if you look at the city plan, connect here and here like this, and increase magic improvement by not allowing passage unless a certain level of magic is used.”
“Hey, that’s not bad either. It’s a secret passage that can be used more effectively and efficiently if your magic skills are high. I guess it’s worth setting a goal and working on it, right?”
The reason kids like games is that there are rewards for their achievements. But is there a secret passage or device at school that can only be used by studying? Fuck, I can’t stand this lol.
Even if it’s a trick, it doesn’t matter. Rather, if you can bypass and pass through the magic equipment that is so well-prepared, you will be able to prove other qualities.
“But how much do you think about the incoming students?”
“Uh… About 10,000 middle school, high school, and college students combined?”
“Wow, that’s a lot of people. Why are you trying to enroll 1,000 people in one grade?”
“Because it seems like it will be popular. If it’s not enough, I’ll just do what it lacks… But I’m worried that there might be more of it.”
“That’s right.”
Even now, tens of millions of posts about inquiries and applications for admission to the magic engineering education district were being posted on the government website. It is likely to surpass the billion mark soon.
Parents are naturally more concerned about education, and if it is an item that will be in the spotlight for the next generation, they have no choice but to rush into it. It is a similar situation to parents raising their children’s enthusiasm for things such as enrolling their children in well-taught academies.
If you think about it, isn’t the number 10,000 rather low? There may be room in Korea, but if you add overseas, there won’t be enough space.
“How are the teachers?”
“First, we received applicants, and there were quite a lot of them. Thanks to that, there was no shortage of manpower. Pure science, pure magic, and magic engineering, magic engineering application, etc…”
“No, I don’t know if it’s a long story. Just say it’s suitable and move on.”
“I know magic isn’t your major, but at least study a bit. Don’t be picky.”
“Are you my mother?!”
“It’s your mother!!!!!!”
“Hey!!!!! Phantom!!!!! Your brother is giving me a hard lip!!!!!!”
“Then you go the opposite way and call your brother’s mom.”
“… Absolute Destruction? Hey, did you turn?”
“If you can’t call me, don’t argue.”
“You fucking brothers. Look at how they take each other’s side because they are brothers.”
“Then the crayfish is on the side of the crab, and you’re on the side of the other guy. If they criticize you, you should call your disciple and take the side of your relatives.”
“Call someone else, at least don’t call that guy!!!!!!”
There are people from the Choi family who have the ability to recognize and enter dimensional civilization or become transcendents, but there are not many of them. A simple blood relationship can be found if you look for it, but a true Choi family member must have altruistic values that prioritize their own life, and such people usually die young.
No, he died and came back to life, but Choi Kang-in, the transcendent of the Choi family and one of the seven greatest wizards, also died in an accident while trying to save a child when he was young? These are the people who die so young… Ah, thanks to my singularity, I have no talent, but I still enjoyed a heavenly life in the first round.
If children from the Choi family, who are transcendent like Eden, take care of them, they can grow up well, but there are only a few people from the Choi family in the first place. When I think about it, I’ve had many children so far, but Eden is the only one that can be said to belong to the Choi family. Is the probability of such a person being born low? I don’t know.
“Things are somewhat on track and I have some free time. I need to rest a bit.”
“Yes, rest is also important. Even if your body is not that tired, you will still be able to perform better later if you rest.”
“So, I often go on trips too.”
“You just skip work because you don’t want to.”
“There will come a time when you want to do that too. I’ll see you then.”
“I will come down after my term is over!!!!!!!”
“I used to think that way too… Ah, didn’t we talk about this before?”
I had some free time, so I thought about resting, but I don’t know what I should do to rest. Because I’ve been working as president for a while, I feel like I’ve forgotten the little things I used to enjoy in my daily life.
Well, it would be nice to spend time with my family first. I’m going to try my hand at cooking for the first time in a while.
“Yes, it’s good to cook meals for your family and eat together when you have time. Oh, would you like to help me out?”
“What do you need them for?”
“Honestly, I’m a better cook than you.”
“Did you fucking call me a cook?!!!!!”
“I didn’t say that much!!!!! And it’s true that I’m a better cook!!!!!”
“This dog -like cub, a cooking battle in a while !!!!!!!”
If you fight sincerely, you cannot deny and understand that Phantom, the absolute being, is superior. No matter how hard you try to ignore it, it’s true.
But I can’t stand the sound of cooking!!!!!!
