Empire of the Ring
Chapter 217 - Dynamics (4)
The wheat in the field had grown and made a pleasant view. On top of that, outside the walls that protected the towns, birch trees had grown up and made a wood. Although it was difficult to supply water to the trees, those trees would be a great windbreak for the town people in addition to creating great scenery.
So, Youngho asked people to plant fruit trees for each house and plant many trees around the playground and the central square. As the empty environment turned green, it was quite refreshing.
Commercial areas are also slowly being outlined, so some of the immigrants received loans at the farm office and were opening up stores such as food restaurants, cafes, beauty salons, and cosmetics stores.
Youngho began to give lending living expenses to each family, so the commercial areas were quite crowded in the evenings and teenagers were starting to do little performances on the streets.
It was the K-pop performance that Zeynep had been teaching the kids. She had gathered up the kids at the gym and taught them how to dance watching K-pop groups on a big screen. Although they were not too skillful since they were only mimicking K-pop singer groups, the activity acted as an outlet for teenagers without any entertainments for themselves. So, there were several dance teams made up already.
The residential area of Arirang Farm was now starting to look like a city. It was a blessing to see such changes for the immigrants and for Youngho and his friends and families. As the lives of people were stabilized, there was a big baby boom in the farm. There would be hundreds of new-born babies by the beginning of next year.
It would be great if everything was a smooth sail but it was not the case.
As more than 4,000 people were living together, different problems and issues occurred every day. Adults would get into quarrels after drinking too much, but the real problem was teenagers.
Zeynep's K-pop dance program was not enough to calm down growing youths, not everyone was into K-pops as well. They were controlled in the school during the day time but there was no way to contain them after school.
Youngho decided to ask for Zeynep's advice.
"Hahaha…"
It was Zeynep's laugh of pride.
"Don't just laugh. I said we need to come up with a solution."
"Oppa, you can't do anything without me. What if I resolve this?"
She said it as if she had been resolving every issue until now. Youngho decided to go along with her. Not leaving to Paris was enough for him.
"Alright. If you come up with a great measure, I'll grant one of your wishes."
"You said it!"
It made Youngho concern but he could not help since he already said it.
"The answer lies in Szechenyi. Remember that Szechenyi used to work out with you?"
"Szecheyni?"
"Yeah, that's it. You exhausted him every day."
"Oh!"

What Zeynep had suggested was nothing special. It was to send security crews of Zeynep Security Service as drill instructors and train the youths. Teaching martial arts like Taekwondo could transform their minds and bodies at the same time. It was something that anyone could think of, but Youngho had not thought of training the town kids.
Satisfied with Zeynep's simple solution, Youngho gave her a big hug.
At Baku's international school, the first period was physical education. It was because exercise helped students stay healthy and improved their brain activities as well. Also, as students relieve their stresses while exercising, they were able to focus on other school activities.
After coming up with the solution, what Zeynep wanted from Youngho was that she wanted to collect antiques. More precisely, she wanted to visit flea markets and old antique stores of different countries to increase the assets of the foundation.
Youngho was not sure if she really wanted to help with the foundation genuinely or if she wanted to just collect antiques for her own collection.
She also had another suggestion to help the youths on Arirang Farm.
It was to let them raise pets.
It was a known fact that communicating with animals were good for growing children and youths' emotions, but what she wanted to bring were not small pets but big dogs. Her reason was to protect people from foxes and wolves.
Although it seemed more like Zeynep's desire than a solution, still, children and youths would love to have dogs with them. Youngho had to agree with her.
Then for the next few days, she was busy looking for Korean dogs saying that the youths would be learning Korean martial arts, so that they also would need to raise Korean dogs.
Zeynep, who could die for puppies, found pictures of Sapsaree dogs which were a rare native Korean shaggy sheepdog breed. They somewhat looked like a different version of Old English sheepdog. She kept saying that they were cute. The hilarious pictures of the Sapsaree or Sapsali dogs made Youngho smile since their unusually long hairs covered their eyes and their tongues hanging out.
The name of the dog Sapsaree meant 'one that roots out evil spirits and bad luck'. The dogs were fast to adapt to many environments and they were known to be loyal and brave.
Since Zeynep was already into the dog breed, Youngho had to agree to buy the dogs from Korea. He made arrangements with Korean breeders and had to even pay some contributions to Korean Sapsaree Foundation so that he could get them delivered to the farm more fluently. Then arranged an airplane to ship the dogs.
As the Sapsaree dogs were delivered to Arirang Farm, Zeynep was not seen in Baku for a while. Skipping school for a while, she lived with the dogs.
That spring was extremely dynamical as many things were unfolding on the farm.

A survey team from the drone manufacturer company D Drones had visited the farm and left after inspecting the area.
As Youngho showed them the warehouse buildings once used as storage units of daily supplies and grains, the staffs of D Drones were satisfied and said that the production line could be installed at any time.
The factory on Arirang Farm would only produce half-finished products before sending them to D Drones. It was only called half-finished because there was no electronic chip inside which was the core technology of drones but it was almost the same as a finished product. After receiving the products from the farm, D Drones would put the core chips inside and package the products before distributing them.
Youngho was excited since D Drones agreed to build the assembly line, body production factory, and rotor production factory. Since D Drones was a foreign investor, it was making a contribution.
The technique of producing a body of the drone and rotor, which was the propeller of drone, was agreed to be transferred to Arirang Farm in the future.
Youngho did not only choose drones to make money but because the drone was an essential technique that could be used effectively in a large country like Kazakhstan. Drones could be the best way to deliver supplies to remote places. Also, drones could be used to monitor the growth of crops and to tell the best period for harvesting on a large scale farm like Arirang Farm.
A U.S. company was providing a pilot service in Rwanda to supply blood and medicine through unmanned drones. When drones reached their destination by using G.P.S, they would drop boxes with a parachute from the sky. In places with poor road conditions like Rwanda, it usually took several days to get to remote areas by land, but it took only a few hours to deliver the goods by using drones.
There have been cases of such good use of drones. However, there was also abusive usages of drones. For examples, a drone bomb made by IS attacked Kurdish forces, and in Colombia someone supplied drugs with a drone to his friend in prison. In addition, a company in the U.K. made a drone called Snoopy, a spy drone that intercepted data while flying around smartphones or tablets with Wi-Fi turned on.
On the other hand, people made defense equipment such as drone defenders and anti-drones to capture intruder drones with jamming waves and mesh bazooka guns. Flying a drone in the air and filming environments was no longer a new story anymore. That was why Youngho was bent on making commercial drones.
As D Drones had strict quality standards, working environment for assembly lines had to be like a factory that made precision electronic products. Thus, the body factory and the rotor factory which made noises were pushed near to the wharf.
No matter how many dust collecting equipment and air purifier were applied, some toxic gases were inevitably created during the process of melting the special materials of the rotor. The body factory, as well, naturally created dust and noise in the process of using machine tools to cut, drill, and weld things. As a result, the area near the farm's wharf had become a small heavy industrial complex.
Just in time, about 30 first-generation engineers picked from the farm left to the D Drones headquarters in the U.S. for technical training.
When the team returns from training the two months of the training period, there would be up to fourth generations of engineers sent to the U.S. each in every two months until they were all trained.
Among them, outstanding people who would be trained and become expert technicians in the future. By then, Arirang Farm would be able to design its own drone model and produce drones of the farm's own brand.
