Chapter 264
Chapter 264
Yoo-hyun received the panel from the new IC and Senior Go Seong-cheol.
Then he loaded the two boxes into Senior Maeng Gi-yong’s car.
Senior Maeng Gi-yong drove with a dark expression on his face.
Yoo-hyun, who was sitting next to him, threw his usual positive words.
“It will be fine.”
“Yoo-hyun, do you know what we’re going to do?”
“Are we going to attach the IC to the panel?”
“That’s right. But this is different from just module work. We’re going to stick the IC directly on the glass surface of the panel.”
“You said it’s because of the resolution. Why is that?”
“Sigh… Never mind. What’s the point of telling you?”
Senior Maeng Gi-yong shook his head as if giving up on Yoo-hyun’s answer.
Regardless, Yoo-hyun smiled.
“Don’t worry. It will be fine.”
“If it doesn’t work, it’s really over.”
“Think of this team leader at times like this.”
Yoo-hyun offered a very appropriate alternative to Senior Maeng Gi-yong, who was anxious.
Senior Maeng Gi-yong asked in surprise.
“Jin-mok? Why?”
“If the IC attachment work goes well and we come back, the person who will worry the most is this team leader, right?”
Senior Maeng Gi-yong blinked his eyes at Yoo-hyun’s words and nodded his head as if it made sense.
“Well. Yeah. I hope it goes well soon. To tease Jin-mok.”
“Yes. I’ll join you.”
“Hahaha.”
Senior Maeng Gi-yong laughed loudly when Yoo-hyun agreed cheekily.
Only then did his stiff shoulders relax a little.
The place where the two went was D&D, an IC attachment company located next to Ulsan 1 Factory.
The company also had an IC attachment line.
However, in the case of this IC, it did not fit the standard size.
As soon as they entered the promised place, an employee came out and greeted Yoo-hyun and Senior Maeng Gi-yong.
“Oh, hello, researchers. I’m Lee Jae-won, senior at D&D.”
“Hello. I’m Senior Maeng Gi-yong.”
“Hello. I’m Han Yoo-hyun.”
When Yoo-hyun finished greeting, Senior Maeng Gi-yong asked Senior Lee Jae-won with a worried expression.
“Senior Lee, please take good care of the IC attachment.”
“Hehe. Don’t worry. Researcher Han Yoo-hyun sent me such detailed data that I’m well prepared.”
Senior Maeng Gi-yong blinked his eyes at Senior Lee Jae-won’s words.
“What data did you…”
“He sent me the IC and panel drawings all at once. He also included the alignment key parts and precautions.”
“Oh…”
While Senior Maeng Gi-yong was still making a flustered expression, Senior Lee Jae-won praised Yoo-hyun again.
“It’s easy for me to do it when you organize it so neatly. Thank you, researcher.”
Actually, it wasn’t something worth praising so much.
It was just that Senior Lee Jae-won was a bit emotional person.
Yoo-hyun turned away from him with a shy smile.
“I didn’t do anything. I just sent Senior Maeng’s data again.”
“Haha. You also updated me on the detailed schedule in real time. Thanks to that, I can respond right away.”
Hearing Senior Lee Jae-won’s words, Senior Maeng Gi-yong put his arm around Yoo-hyun’s shoulder.
Thump.
Then he said with a clear look as if he had come to his senses.
“You did well.”
“It has to go well.”
“It will go well since you did so much for it.”
Yoo-hyun felt the strength in his arm wrapped around his shoulder.
There was a determination in his expression.
The IC attachment work ended sooner than expected.
Senior Lee Jae-won showed them many pictures taken with a microscope.
“I’ll have to test it to know for sure, but I don’t think there are any defects. As you can see, there are no foreign substances either.”
“Yes. It really looks like that.”
Senior Maeng Gi-yong’s eyes sparkled.
He could see that the IC’s fine pins and hundreds of lines inside the panel were precisely aligned.
As if reading Senior Maeng Gi-yong’s thoughts, Senior Lee Jae-won reassured him.
“You said the panel test was done too, right? The IC was also tested individually, so there should be no problem.”
“Thank you.”
“Haha. In my experience, this is as good as done.”
Senior Lee Jae-won definitely knew how to deal with customers.
Regardless of his light words, Yoo-hyun could see that there was no problem with the work.
That meant that the baton had been passed on.
Senior Maeng Gi-yong, who had picked up the box himself, grinned.
“Well, now it’s really Team Leader Kim’s turn.”
“Should I call him?”
“No. I’ll call him.”
“Then I’ll listen.”
Yoo-hyun quickly picked up the box, wanting to see the good show.
There was a big smile on Senior Maeng Gi-yong’s lips as he held his phone.
A moment later.
Yoo-hyun entered the module factory with Team Leader Lee Jin-mok.
On the folding cart, there was a box containing a panel with an IC attached.
Next to it was a small box containing a newly made FPCB.
The work of connecting these two was module work.
And on top of the cart, there was one more box wrapped in a veil.
Team Leader Lee Jin-mok asked with a curious expression.
“Yoo-hyun, are you really going to give this to the module guys?”
“Yes. I’m grateful for their hard work.”
“They won’t take bribes.”
“It’s not a bribe.”
Yoo-hyun answered with a smile, and Team Leader Lee Jin-mok sighed.
“Sigh. Well. It’s not my place to say anything.”
“Why?”
“Just, I’m sorry for bringing you along when you’re busy.”
“What do I have to be busy about?”
Yoo-hyun wasn’t busy.
The ones who worked overtime and suffered every day were the team members, not Yoo-hyun.
Now they all knew how to do their work, so Yoo-hyun had nothing to do.
He was more comfortable than when he was in the product planning team.
Still, Team Leader Lee Jin-mok worried about Yoo-hyun.
“But you just attached the IC and came back.”
“Thanks to that, I got a meal from Senior Maeng. Now it’s your turn, team leader.”
“If it goes well, what’s a meal? I’ll buy you drinks.”
“It will go well.”
Yoo-hyun smiled and entered the module line.
When Yoo-hyun entered the module workshop, the female employees wearing navy blue collar T-shirts came up and greeted Yoo-hyun.
“Oh, Yoo-hyun, hello.”
“Why did you come so long after?”
“Hello. It’s been a while since I had a module.”
As Yoo-hyun greeted them happily, one of the female employees came out and tried to lift the box on the cart.
“Hoho. Is that so? Give it to me.”
“No. I’ll carry it.”
“Oh, you don’t have to. Hoho.”
Yoo-hyun moved the box containing the panel and FPCB among the laughter of the female employees.
Seeing his unfamiliar appearance, Team Leader Lee Jin-mok couldn’t close his mouth.
Yoo-hyun returned after handing over the box and Team Leader Lee Jin-mok asked him.
“What is this? Have you been treated like this every time you did module work?”
“What treatment?”
“Oh, no. But when are you going to give that?”
“Later.”
Yoo-hyun squinted his eyes, and Team Leader Lee Jin-mok made a puzzled expression.
Then a loud noise came from the module line.
The voice belonged to Jo Yujung, the eldest sister among the workers.
“Okay, this is an important panel, so let’s do a good job. Got it?”
“Yes, sister.”
The other female workers answered loudly and moved swiftly.
“Wow…”
Lee Jin-mok, the team leader, was speechless at the sight he had never seen before.
This was not the usual tedious module work.
He finally understood why Yoo-hyun always came back smiling after doing the module work.
The module work was finished much faster than expected.
It was thanks to everyone’s enthusiastic help.
Jo Yujung handed over the box and said,
“That’s it.”
“Thank you so much.”
Yoo-hyun expressed his gratitude and Jo Yujung sobbed.
“Thank you? But this was a bit tough.”
Yoo-hyun knew very well how hard the work was.
He felt grateful to the workers who helped him and unwrapped the box that was covered with a veil.
Inside were two boxes of vitamin drinks.
It was enough for the workers to drink.
“I prepared this for you.”
“Oh, thank you.”
Jo Yujung was surprised and the other female workers gave thumbs up.
“Yoo-hyun is really a man of sense.”
“Hohoho.”
Giving a gift before the work would be burdensome, but giving it after would feel sincere.
That’s why the female workers showed very rewarding smiles.
Yoo-hyun thanked them again.
“Thank you so much every time.”
“No, thank you. You’re so thoughtful. Just let me know whenever you need help. We’ll finish Yoo-hyun’s work first.”
Jo Yujung winked and said.
Yoo-hyun appreciated her heart and thanked her sincerely once more.
“Yes, thank you.”
On his way back after finishing the work, Lee Jin-mok exclaimed again.
“Yoo-hyun, you’re amazing.”
“What are you talking about? It’s just a drink.”
“No, I learned a lot from watching you. It’s not just because you’re handsome that they do well for you.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“You’re awesome. Really awesome, Han Yoo-hyun.”
Clap clap clap clap.
Lee Jin-mok clapped his hands embarrassingly.
It was awkward to clap on the street where people passed by.
Yoo-hyun pushed the cart faster.
Inside the inspection room, the whole team was gathered.
Not only that, but also the members of Circuit Team 3 were there.
As soon as Yoo-hyun entered, Jung In-wook, the manager, opened his mouth wide and asked,
‘Did it go well?’
Why are they acting like that?
Yoo-hyun chuckled and said loudly,
“The module work went very well.”
“Oooh, awesome.”
Jung In-wook clenched his fist and Kim Hogul, the chief engineer, nodded his head with his arms crossed.
“Now we just have to turn on the screen.”
“…”
There were two people who looked gloomy among the expectations of everyone.
They were Min Su-jin, the senior engineer, and Kim Seon-dong, the team leader, who took over the baton.
Kim Hogul urged them,
“Come on, let’s do it.”
“Wait a minute. Please be quiet.”
Min Su-jin was cold regardless of what the team leader said.
No one dared to say anything about it.
They all knew her sensitive personality.
Min Su-jin took a breath and took the module from Yoo-hyun.
“Yoo-hyun, thank you.”
“It’ll be fine.”
“Shh. Don’t say that.”
Min Su-jin put her index finger on her mouth and everyone became quiet.
In the silent atmosphere, Min Su-jin connected the module FPCB part to the video board connector.
The size of the video board was much smaller than the one used in the last demo.
It was slightly larger than the panel size.
To achieve this, a new video processing chip was used and the programming inside it was also changed.
Click.
As soon as she connected the module to the video board, Maeng Gi-yong, another senior engineer who had approached Yoo-hyun without him noticing whispered,
“It won’t work at once.”
“Really?”
“Yeah. It usually takes a week to turn on this kind of module.”
“I see.”
Yoo-hyun answered calmly.
To be honest, it was a new programming with no verification panel.
Moreover, the new IC had a new high-speed communication protocol as well.
Min Su-jin and Kim Seon-dong had worked hard to implement this, but Yoo-hyun knew it wasn’t easy either.
“I’m turning it on.”
Gulp.
Everyone swallowed their saliva at Min Su-jin’s words.
Kim Seon-dong, who was sitting in front of the laptop connected to the video board, covered his head with both hands as if he was nervous.
Yoo-hyun couldn’t help him with this part either.
Then Min Su-jin turned on the power adapter switch.
Tick.
That was the moment.
The panel flickered once and then a clear Windows background logo appeared.
The color was inverted, but the clouds, sky, and part of the mark were clearly visible.
“Phew…”
“Wow.”
Min Su-jin sighed with relief and the others cheered.
People popped up here and there.
“Awesome. It worked at once.”
“Right. I’ve never seen it turn on properly at once.”
“That’s amazing, isn’t it?”
The people from Team 2, who had seen Team 1 struggle a lot, were also impressed.
The people from Team 3, who were watching from behind, were the same.
“Hold on. I’ll bring the director.”
Kim Hogul ran out excitedly.
He didn’t even think of using his phone.
