Mayor Yun Ho-chang and Daeje Heavy Industries CEO Joo Young-mo gathered at my request.
“I want to take over the Gunsan Shipyard.”

Mayor Yun Ho-chang said with bright eyes at my words.
“Really?”
“Yes. I need a boat, so I’m going to make it myself. You know? Currently undersea mines are being mined at Ceron Development. But because there are no ships, we can’t even if we want to mine more.”
“That’s great!”
Daejeon Heavy Industries is the world’s No. 1 shipbuilder.
Such a company had several shipyards in various parts of Korea, and the Gunsan shipyard was one of the main shipyards of such heavy industry and was one of the two major mountain ranges that supported Gunsan City along with the KM Automobile Factory.
However, the Gunsan shipyard, which had such a splendid heyday, was closed six years ago due to a recession in the shipbuilding industry.
In such a situation, it is nice to know that Seron may now become a relief pitcher for the shipyard.
Joo Young-mo, who was quiet at that time, said.
“The shipbuilding industry is not a simple field that you can jump into quickly just because you have money.”
“I know. But where’s the good guy from the start? Isn’t it all about learning?
You can take over the Gunsan shipyard and hire people from the shipbuilding industry who have lost their jobs.
Of course, there will be trial and error, but I can’t bear that much.
“Besides, we are currently preparing for the reopening of our Gunsan shipyard next year, so the takeover proposal is a bit plausible.”
“Is it really going to restart?”
“you’re right. We plan to invest 100 billion won in repairing outdated equipment.”
Are you really going to restart?
This is a little different from the story of Cheol-Woong Jang.
Said shipbuilders are reluctant to increase tables.
Then, Ho-Chang Yun intervened and said.
“To be precise, it’s not a full restart, but 40 percent.”
“40 percent?”
Then Joo Young-mo glanced at Yun Ho-chang and said,
“…Anyway, restart is not restart.”
Jang Cheol-woong was only half right.
It is true that they are reluctant to increase the number of tables, but as the number of customers increases, Daejeon Heavy Industries & Construction plans to add a few more.
Then, Ho-Chang Yun said with an excited expression.
“There is also a plan for a 40 percent restart, but it is not confirmed yet. In such a case, it would be perfect if Seron came forward and took over!”
Since it is related to Gunsan City, Yun Ho-chang is completely on my side and talking to me.
Joo Young-mo, who seemed uncomfortable with that appearance, said while coughing.
“Anyway, we will restart. Its size is still undecided.”
hmm.
Are you doing this to get a raise?
“Even if it restarts 40 percent of the time, isn’t that the end of 60 percent of the game play? If we leave it alone, there will be no maintenance and it will only continue to deteriorate.
“Even so, the Gunsan Shipyard is an asset of Daejeon Heavy Industries, which was built 12 years ago with an investment of 1.2 trillion won. You can’t suddenly sell it like this.”
12 years ago, I invested a lot at 1.2 trillion won.
“good. Acceptable up to 40% restart. Then sell the remaining 60 percent.”
“Are you serious?”
“I’m serious.”
Is the cost of acquiring a shipyard a problem now?

Minerals lying on the bottom of the sea are waiting for my hand, I need to get them out!
that money? If you can make enough ships, you can recover them in an instant.
Even after deducting the labor cost, maintenance cost, and rental fee given to the government as a percentage, each ship leaves more than 20 billion won a month.
Then, since one year is 240 billion won, 10 ships is 2.4 trillion won, and 100 ships is 24 trillion won!
I can’t stand this
“Let’s just keep it simple. How long are you going to sell it?”
Even if I rip a little bit, I will bear it this time.
‘Cause I’m in a hurry
But Joo Young-mo, who had been thinking for a while, said.
“…and it doesn’t seem like a sale either.”
“Yes?”
“In a situation where the shipbuilding industry is reviving now, selling the Gunsan shipyard is no different than selling the value of the future.”
Would you like to reserve an emergency table?
It’s difficult like this.
“Don’t even do that, Chairman Han, just ask us to do it, we’ll make it for you.”
“It took two years.”
“We have a little bit of a backlog of orders, so we can’t help it.”
“Then we can all restart.”
“There is no way to cope with the recession if everything restarts prematurely.”
It’s safe to put a moderate amount of orders, isn’t it?
“Whoa. This is a problem.”
However, it is not possible to order from China.
I thought for a while and said.
“Then how about this? If it is difficult to sell, rent.”
“Are you renting?”
“It’s like playing 60 percent. I’ll rent it from Seron. That’s better than teasing me.”
“Rent…”
“The contract period is initially set for two years, and the period is gradually increased under the agreement of both sides. Then, if Daejeon Heavy Industries says there are not enough tables, they give it away.”
“table?”
“ah. Mistakes, mistakes. that I think alone Anyway, is it okay to rent?”
In this way, it’s a win-win for each other, right?
Joo Young-mo said with an interesting expression at my words.
“That might be fine. Rent.”
“Anyway, if people don’t get their hands on them, machines will rust too. How nice we’ll do the maintenance, and we’ll pay rent. Instead, please design a ship for subsea mining at Daejeon Heavy Industries. Please share your construction know-how. Of course, I will pay for these as well.”
If you think about it, this might be more realistic.
No matter how many experienced workers are selected, there is no way that a large object like a ship can be made without defects in the first seron.
So, I borrowed it in the form of a lease and got help from Daejeon Heavy Industries.
After accumulating skills and know-how like that, at the right time, build Ceron’s own shipyard, huh?
“We should have a meeting with the executives, but I don’t think it would be bad under those conditions.”
“OK! I will give you a generous rent, so please convince me.”
When the situation was over, Ho-Chang Yun smiled brightly and said.
“Then is the Gunsan Shipyard going to be fully operational? Gunsan citizens will love it.”
“Well? Ah, hiring employees. Of course you will be hired. But it’s not quite what you’d expect, is it?”
“Yes?”
I said, pointing my finger at myself.
“What about Seron?”
“… a skeleton?”
“answer.”
“Are you planning on using a skeleton as a worker?”
I said with a smirk.
“Absolutely. It’s going to be crazy for 24 hours.”
It’s a different industry. There’s a job problem, so we introduced it in a way like an unmanned pilot, but it doesn’t matter if it’s literally building a ship for use in Seron, right?
“I heard that there are many similarities between construction and shipbuilding, right? The tribute does the chores and the shooter does the important work. It is said that it is a labor-intensive industry and requires a lot of manpower.”
Then Joo Young-mo was furious and said:
“It’s labor-intensive! A ship that requires a high level of technology like an LNG carrier can be built by any shipbuilder.”
I waved my hand to Joo Young-mo, who was excited.
“Hey. calm down. I’m talking about bulk carriers, not anything like that.”
Literally, ships that are faithful to the original mission of the ship, only need to float and load well.
In the first place, it’s a submarine mining vessel, but in reality it’s just a merchant ship equipped with a crane and fiber optic cable connection.
“Can I build an LNG carrier or something like that? Other than that, bulk carriers are labor-intensive.”
Then Joo Young-mo, who was silent for a while, said:
“…that’s right. So, all bulk carriers were ordered by China.”
The reason that the Korean shipbuilding industry is currently reviving is because it almost monopolized orders for ships that require high added-value and technology, such as LNG carriers.
China also entered this area to build LNG carriers, but it is a famous anecdote that they asked for help from Korean shipbuilders because they had so many defects that they were rejected.
However, since bulk carriers literally only need to be faithful to the basic functions of ships, the current global shipbuilding industry is divided into two parts: China for bulk carriers that are labor-intensive and requires less technology, and Korea for ships that require technology such as LNG carriers. made situation.
And what I wanted were bulk carriers in the same position as China.
“Then welding or painting or something like that would have to be done by a human, but simple chores could be done by a skeleton. I heard that they are also looking for a lot of part-time jobs in shipyards, but what an unskilled worker like that can do, he can also do skeletons.”
Cranes will be used for extremely heavy parts, but other than that, simple but huge labor-requiring parts, such as connecting and tightening pipes, are enough to have a skeleton.
Why can’t a skeleton that assembles small electronics and sews shoes and clothes do one thing?
Of course, repeating simple tasks and looking at drawings and working accordingly are a little different, but isn’t the Ceron Education and Research Center designed to do that?
Finally, this is a great opportunity to utilize the devotees who have been studying algorithms hard.
I said with a bright smile.
“Look forward, I will show you the miracle of pulling out one ship every month or two.”

Gunsan Shipyard, which has been refurbished after formally signing a lease contract, has completed repair work for aging equipment.

Many people who had lost their jobs and lost their jobs flocked to the shipyard.
“… it’s been six years.”
“I know.”
All of them are former employees who worked at the Gunsan Shipyard.
“Now, it’s under Seron Shipbuilding, not Daeji Heavy Industries.”
People who were so moved by emotion.
Then a voice is heard.
“now. Everyone please pay attention.”
The pupils of those who turned their heads to that voice shook.
“Hey, what is that?”
That person is Han Ji-hyeok, the chairman of the Seron Group.
But after that, people wearing consoles and countless skeletons follow in a row.
“From now on, you are all shooters. And the skeletons behind here are tribute.”
“A tribute is a skeleton?”
“Not a person?”
Han Ji-hyuk said with a bright smile.
“So the first thing you need to do is not build ships, but master how to work with these skeletons. Director Baek Sang-ho?”
Then, a man named Baek Sang-ho, who was equipped with a console, came forward and said.
“From now on, I am the head of the center, Baek Sang-ho, who will teach you how to use the skeleton tribute.”
“By the way, Center Director Baek Sang-ho is the next best engineer after me when it comes to skeleton control. So, if you listen carefully to what the center director says and follow it, you will get used to it quickly.”
Then Baek Sang-ho took a deep breath and said:
“ha. How much trouble did you have to come up with this algorithm…”
Then the people behind them nodded their heads.
“I didn’t know I was going to study life and live by looking at the ship design drawings.”
“me too.”
Baek Sang-ho looked at the staff and said.
“ruler. From now on, I will show you how to control it. priority······.”

Said the welder, who marked the location by putting fasteners on both sides of the iron plate.
“Skell.”
Then, the eyes of the skeleton that followed him as a tribute shined.
“Catch it tight.”
Then the skeleton approached and put his hands on the hooks on both sides of the iron plate.
“A little further to the left… no. I didn’t say it.”
The welder said while holding the iron plate.
“Skell, it’s moving.”
Then, when the iron plate is moved, the skeleton moves with its hand on the squeaker.
Then, when the desired angle was reached, the welder said.
“Skell, fixed.”
Then the skeleton stopped with its eyes shining again.
The welder tried to shake the iron plate, but he didn’t even blink how tightly he was holding it.
“Okay, so stay still.”
So the welder started welding in earnest.
“…it’s quite comfortable.”
From a welder’s point of view, where it is important to properly support the iron plate to be welded, a skeleton that does tribute work efficiently, although it is a little troublesome.
Although they can’t listen and judge on their own like humans, in terms of efficiency, the skeleton tribute was never a bad level.
At that time, skeletons full of iron plates and pipes walk after a man.
That man is Baek Sang-ho.
As Baek Sang-ho manipulates the bone console, the skeletons put down the iron plates and pipes.
Then he suddenly pulled out a red thread, stretched it out, secured it with tape, and pounded the console at high speed.
“Follow the red thread to connect the #3 plumbing… ok.”
Then, the eyes of the skeletons that followed flashed, and after placing the pipe along the red thread, they began to tighten the nuts with the monkey spanner they brought.
Baek Sang-ho, who saw it, said while covering the stinging sunlight with his hand.
“Oh, it’s hot. This is not normal either.”
The welder who had finished welding came up to him and said,
“You’re in trouble, Center Chief.”
“Everyone suffers, huh?”
said the welder with a smirk.
“By the way, I’m going to keep repeating this over and over again, are you okay?”
“What?”
“Don’t you think we’re going to be printing ships like crazy in the future? Then you have to keep working like this.”
“Ahh. That’s fine. I’m not going to stay here all the time.”
“···Yes?”
“Right now, I’m saving everything by tying a red thread to decide where to work. After all, for the time being, only ships of the same design will be printed, so at that time, all you have to do is load the ones you have saved. As the president said, it’s the same as printing the same thing, whether it’s a ship or an electronic product, only the size is different.”
said the welder, who did not understand what he was saying.
“What do you mean?”
“It means that if you do the job right now, you can just call up the action you saved later. Need plumbing work at this location? Then, just load what you saved this time and you’re done.”
The welder said with a puzzled expression.
“Are you saying that next time these guys will connect the plumbing without that red thread?”
“I don’t know exactly, it’s the person who decides when to do this. Instead, at that time, it was possible to finish with one button without such a cumbersome process.”
“Then what if something goes wrong?”
Then Baek Sang-ho spoke in a calm voice.
“Of course it will happen. Wouldn’t it be rather strange if there were no defects when making this large object for the first time? Even when making a single shoe, if you leave it to a novice programmer, it will be a mess. It’s probably going to be huge, and you probably don’t know if it’s going to have to be scrapped as soon as it’s made. However······.”
Baek Sang-ho smiled and said.
“After going through trial and error like that, once it’s done properly, it’s a breeze from then on. Literally, it can be copied and pasted.”
Do you take a picture of a ship by copy-pasting it?
I still don’t know what the hell this means, but isn’t it the best engineer Han Ji-hyuk praised so much?
The welder nodded, wondering if it was an area he didn’t know at all.
“okay. oh By the way, if you don’t mind, can I know how much the skeleton programmer’s salary is?”
“Why are you asking that all of a sudden?”
“My son is interested in this place.”
Then Baek Sang-ho said with his eyes shining.
“It’s fine with us. I am also in charge of education. If you have the skills, please come and test it. oh And in terms of salary, a general programmer starts at 5,000 starting salary.”
The welder said with a slightly disappointed look at the high, but modest salary.
“okay.”
“However, if you are recognized for your skills and come to our Education Research Center as a researcher and lecturer, your salary will be different. Now my annual salary is 2 million. All of the instructors are over 100 million. It will probably rise when it goes up, and it will never fall.”
“Uh-huh!”
said the welder in amazement.
“Are you paying that much?”
“Instead, you have to study a lot. If ordinary programmers are just touching computers, we are making programs for computers. It took me months to master this too. Anyway, if you’re interested, please come and see. We are always short on staff, so talented people are always welcome.”
The welder nodded vigorously.
“All right! I will study hard for my son and go to the center by all means.”
“Yes, yes. All right.”
So when the welder went back to work, Baek Sang-ho said while operating the console.
“Let’s do it quickly. That way, the next time you work, you can work in a comfortable place.”
Ceron Shipbuilding started to build the first ship in earnest with skeletons, shipbuilders, and programmers.
And this was the signal that signaled the beginning of the new ship radiation work.
