AI Jeon Ji-in explained.
"So in this era, it hasn't been developed as a bomb yet. That's why someone clueless about the danger loaded it onto a truck without a second thought?"
Na Gang-in let out a sigh.
"No Scarlett this time, no mercenaries or pirates either. So why the hell do these accidents keep happening around me?"
"Me?"
"That's exactly what I meant."
Na Gang-in checked the cargo again.
"Anyway, VTX-13 is fine as long as there's no NG-3, right?"
"I'm losing my mind. For real?"
"Damn it."
Na Gang-in looked around.
The fusion raw fish restaurant had its own parking lot, but there were too many cars from the wrap party attendees to fit them all. The rest were parked outside the lot.
The reporters who'd shown up before the wrap party had already left, but plenty of pedestrians were still passing by.
The passenger car that had collided with this truck was parked far off with its hazard lights flashing. The driver seemed fine.
Na Gang-in checked under the wrecked truck and asked,
"The area was chaotic today because of the wrap party, so maybe that's why the accident happened. But why's that sedan unscathed?"
"From just a collision?"
"And it could've exploded then too?"
"And the current situation is those conditions?"
"So that's it. This truck was cruising some quiet unpaved road and was bound to blow up in an accident anyway. Is there a record of something like that in your initial memory?"
AI Jeon Ji-in was a 2082-model combat support AI.
"But there's a record of the aerial carrier crashing on Dobongsan Manjang Peak?"
"Hmm... Probably an explosion happened in 2022, and investigating it revealed the danger of mixing those chemicals. In the future, they researched it further and turned it into a bomb."
In the distance, sirens from fire trucks and 119 ambulances wailed.
Na Gang-in asked,
"Ji-in. If all this blows up, how bad would the damage be?"
"Huh?"
"People in nearby buildings too? Is the blast that powerful?"
"Three thousand?"
"I'm losing my mind."
Na Gang-in checked how much explosive material there was and asked,
"Ji-in. The original dynamite was made by absorbing unstable nitroglycerin into diatomaceous earth, right? If they can make this into a bomb, that means there's a stabilizing agent like diatomaceous earth too?"
"Do you know how to make it?"
"No, we don't need that now. Is there a neutralizing agent here to prevent it from blowing up? It might already be made and loaded on the truck."
"The people who made it would know. What's the company phone number?"
A list of phone numbers scrolled up in front of him. Not just the main company and lab lines, but several department ones too.
"Which team handles these materials?"
One number blinked.
Na Gang-in called the number. It was answered immediately.
