Actually, they really copied it off of some Soviet esoteric alchemy-lite project that was lost in obscurity, but the Koreans somehow found it and it worked. picrel

Over the years, Soviet science has emerged almost as mysterious as something like Atlantis. Those niggas were literally doing crazy experiments like Human-chimp hybrids and philosophers stones etc. They didn't have as rigid of a materialist approach to science and much of it was just magic alchemy trickery. A massive cultural difference. A lot of it didn't work (Look up Lysenkoism for example; they believed in a Soviet style, almost religious Lamarckism as opposed to genetics for crops). But a lot of it did work. The Soviets basically started the space race and won it, which is some magic shit if you think about it "Hey, let's just go to space". The Americans definitely didn't think of that. They also believed that oil was non-biological in origin. Heck, the F-117 was made only because some nerds found lost Soviet papers on stealth military tech that was never used because the USSR government didn't like it and was lost in obscurity. But then we found it and used it to make the planes.

Some of their works survived, most of it was lost. So much woowoo going on. So little attention, and so much knowledge lost. Wonder what else those guys were cooking up that is completely lost now. And wonder what else we could retrieve. What else could they have discovered that was as revolutionary, or maybe even more.
