When I was organizing my thoughts, Jiho Hwang spoke to me.
“…… I know that look. You found the answer.”
“What look.”
“that suspicious face.”
“Suspicious” appeared to be fixed as my motto now.
“Come on, Ui-shin Cho, tell me. You solved the code, right?”
“I wouldn’t say that, technically. Because these words represent the coordinate values of themselves. The periods between the words gave it all away.”
“What do you mean.”
It was natural of him to question me.
This system was still new to the world.
Even, Jae-in Kwon, who lived in the UK for a long time, wasn’t used to this system.
“I can’t compare the ones Butterfly clan sent to Jae-in Kwon in the past to this message over here, but, this time, the butterfly didn’t need to use a complicated code.”
“Why?”
“Even you, the guardian of this sacred land, couldn’t see the message. The message was only meant for Jae-in Kwon to see, so they didn’t need to. So I think this wasn’t encoded.”
Jiho made a very offended face but did not object.
The reason the 12 Zodiac Union’s barrier was penetrated that day wasn’t because of Jiho’s lack of competence, but rather a traitor hitting him in the back of his head.
He just must be upset about his barrier being broken by the Butterfly clan.
Or maybe it’s because the existence of a traitor makes him feel horrible, I wasn’t sure.
“There are many ways to specify a place. You can use GPS coordinates, but the GPS coordinates that specify latitude, longitude, and altitude are complicated by using either 60 or 10 decimal. It’s intuitive and easy to use a different address system to specify a place.”
“Do you want to say that the listing of these words is an address system?”
I nodded my head, and Jiho looked like he couldn’t understand.
Maybe it’d be better to explain from the beginning.
“How much do you think the surface area of the Earth in square meters?”
“The Earth’s surface area is about 510 trillion square meters.”
The answer came frighteningly immediately.
He got this right away without googling it or something.
“Yeah. The Earth’s surface area is about 510 trillion square meters. And if you divide the surface of the Earth by 3 meters horizontally and vertically, so by 9 square meters, there are about 57 trillion pieces. There’s a guy who tried to create a new address system by naming each of these pieces.”
I said, opening a hologram.
‘what3words’
The address system was created by Chris Sheldrick’s idea, a figure in the British music performance industry.
“Korea has a well-established address system, but there are many other countries that don’t. There are billions of people who live in places where there is no official address.”
