Episode
51 (Paid from here.)
As we started to build the first ship, me and the instructors at the training center improved the efficiency of the skeleton by updating the missing parts in real time.
One of them is the method of distinguishing objects by color.
“The color coding of the nuts and where they should be placed was great.”
Unlike electronic products, the size of a ship is so large that it contains countless types of parts.
Of course, the nuts also come in different sizes and lengths.
At that time, an instructor came up with the idea of how to mark the location with color.
A method of marking the nut of standard 5 and the position where standard 5 should be inserted with the same color, and different colors with different colors.
Thanks to this, if you just bring a lacquer that matches the color and sprinkle it on, the skeleton will automatically tighten the nut, making the work much easier.
So I asked the parts maker to color it at the manufacturing stage and deliver it to me.
The instructor scratched the back of the head and said.
“thank you.”
“Apply to all other affiliates of Ceron Group.”
“All right.”
“And since I liked the idea, the prize money of 10 million won was confirmed.”
Then the instructor got up from his seat and bowed his head.
“thank you!”
Then the other instructors said with envy.
“Isn’t it the third time already?”
“Hey, that’s a really crazy idea.”
I looked at those instructors and said,
“If you’re envious, don’t hesitate to come up with ideas, too, because they don’t say anything about failure.”
“Yes, Chairman.”
I looked at Baek Sang-ho and said.
“How is the defect?”
“Honestly, there is almost no place that does not have defects.”
Of course it will.
“However, if there are defects, the defects are gradually decreasing thanks to the infinite repetition of the process of dismantling and re-creating everything.”
“That’s important. first ship? It doesn’t matter if you sell it for scrap as soon as you make it. The important thing right now is to create a plausible algorithm that can print a ship. You don’t even have to be perfect. It just rolls around without a problem.”
Because mass production with reasonable quality is the basic policy of Seron.
This is no different.
I don’t have the world’s best technology to build a celestial class ship, right?
So cheap and a lot.
Anyway, if you want to increase submarine mining in the future, you will need a lot of ships.
So, when I asked for a blueprint from Daejeon Heavy Industries in the first place, I asked for a suitable size.
Not too big and not too small, just right for mass production and at the same time as being usable for any other purpose.
“That’s a lot of money. I put money away to take over the shipyard, but the money is overflowing because of the rent only. So, it doesn’t matter if you blow it up with just one boat, so just pay attention to the algorithm.”
I looked at Baek Sang-ho and the instructors and said.
“As you know, this project is the first large-scale project that you have been assigned to the center. And so far it has been very successful.”
In the meantime, I have visited the center once a week and have been trained in a way that implements the algorithms they have devised.
Sometimes I came up with a nonsensical algorithm and realized it knowing that it would break, and sighed inwardly telling me when to grow and use these guys, but now I have passed the process and I am finally able to do something on my own.
To put it simply, should I say that I am finally ready to take off my apprenticeship ticket and become a quasi-necromancer?
“If this project is successfully completed … I will recognize your skills and give you a big raise in consideration of your contributions.”
Anyway, thanks to that, it greatly relieved my work, so I should pay for it.
What are their salaries actually?
It’s okay if you don’t upload it.
After all, the algorithms they have learned and studied can only be used in Seron.
However, if you treat them properly, more people will want to become center instructors and work harder in the future.
That way, in the future, more quasi-necromancers can be mass produced and work for me.
“It will probably go higher than you can imagine. You can look forward to it.”
At my words, the instructor’s eyes lit up and said.
“Oh oh! Salary increase!”
“I will definitely finish it perfectly!”
Then one instructor said:
“I will bury my bones in Seron for the rest of my life!”
“uh? So, are you saying that even if you die, you will become a skeleton and work with it?”
“It’s just that!”
While the instructors were cheering and arguing like that, one instructor raised his hand and said:
“Chairman, how about this way? Now, isn’t this separate from each other and only saving the work of their own parts? Integrate and manage this. By dividing the zones, if the human worker’s work process goes all the way down to the floor, the floor plumbing work is integrated or something like that.”
No matter how many skeletons are mobilized, it is true that a certain part of the human hand is required.
So, when the work that a human should do is 10% complete, the task that can be done up to 10% is selected and integrated and stored.
“It’s fine. good idea. It’s your brain and try to integrate it well. When everything is sorted out, please contact me. Of course, if you succeed, you will be rewarded.”
“nice!”
After such an encouraging money feast, I went out and said:
“Finish it quickly.”
Once activated, from then on, infinite crafting begins.
Currently, there are 6 docks that Ceron Shipbuilding has borrowed from Daejeon Heavy Industries.
Right now, only one dock is running because of the algorithm work, but when this algorithm is completed, all six of them will be rotated 24 hours a day, and the ship will be printed.
I said with a smirk.
“Isn’t quantity the virtue of a Necromancer?”
*
About three and a half months after the dock was rolled like crazy 24 hours a day.
Finally, the first ship showed its majestic appearance.
Since the existing shipyard took six months for the production period, it is normal that the seron shipbuilding, which arithmetically rolls 24 hours, should be completed in two months, but it took three and a half months because the work that was done to complete the algorithm was also dismantled and re-created indefinitely. or the first ship caught.
“Now, only the interior is left.”
Cheol-woong Jang, who joined as a new employee, suddenly became a career manager after the establishment of Seron Chosun.
I said looking at the boat.
“How is it?”
“Can I be honest with you?”
“tell.”
“We have been constantly repairing defects, but it is a mess. There are already a lot of defects in places that cannot be handled, and above all, I think that there are many hidden defects that we are not aware of in this way. There is no way to know unless you try to operate it yourself.”
“Did you report to the center?”
“I did.”
“Okay then. By the way, does this float in the sea?”
“That is no problem. However, as I just said, it is assumed that there are many hidden flaws, so I am sorry about what kind of problems will arise in the process. This is the first project I entrusted to you, but there is no excuse.”
Jang Cheol-woong apologizes.
But I didn’t care at all.
“Still, it’s still floating. You have good skills.”
“Yes? It is natural for a boat to float in the water.”
“Because I assumed that I wouldn’t be able to float in the water and instructed me to proceed. Isn’t that a flaw, that the ship just suddenly sank?”
“It is absolutely not. They are not incompetent enough to not be able to catch even such a fatal flaw. It’s a long hiatus, but aren’t they all people who have worked on this floor for a long time?”
“Okay, okay. Then, immediately start the full operation of the six docks.”
“Yes?!”
Jang Cheol-woong said in amazement.
“Hoe, Chairman, that is absolutely not a good choice!”
“why.”
“Since ships are so expensive, it is essential to test them and find defects. Most of the time, even if you do a test drive like that, you can’t catch all the flaws, but if you go into the dock and start production, there are always parts that you can’t fix even if you find a flaw later! So, after finding all the flaws…”
“Then you can finish what you made and then make it better.”
“Ah, no… what is that…”
“Director Jang, you are misunderstanding now, it is true that general shipbuilding companies do that. The ship itself is a commodity. Does the manufacturer get in trouble when a product is defective? I understand enough. But these guys are not commodities.”
I’m not going to sell it anyway, I’m going to use it.
So, unless the ship is sinking, it’s okay to just accept it and use it to some extent.
“Because ship No. 1 is still a bit insecure, let me fix the flaws while test driving offshore, and build the 6 docks while reinforcing the flaws you’ve found.”
“Then, if there is another defect that cannot be corrected…”
“We can fix the ships next time. I have to make dozens of ships in the future anyway, but I can tolerate any defects that occur in the first 10 or so.”
You learn by failing, right?
If you keep editing and editing like this, one day you will come out with a proper boat, well.
That’s how I came to this point while creating the skeleton algorithm.
Who is more convinced than me that failure is the mother of success?
“Hire a bunch of employees and have them work 24/7. They give you a night’s allowance and give you the best treatment in the industry.”
I told the mayor that the job creation effect would not be good, but when I think about turning it into a 24-hour pool, it requires more human hands than I thought.
Unlike construction, full-time employees are tied to a 52-hour shift system, so they cannot be forced to work for a long time.
“Then, if anything goes wrong with the company’s finances…”
I said with a smirk.
“The manager hasn’t come in for a while, so it seems he doesn’t know well. Don’t worry about money, I have a lot of money.”
After all, once the boat is launched, you will make a lot of money from the resources under the sea, so what do you need to save here?
Besides, the 3 used boats that have already been refurbished are added to the mining operation, and the money earned there is enough to cover the cost of this place.
“now! Stop nagging and let the 6 docks fully run! I will take responsibility, so just work hard!”
*
As soon as the first ship was completed and commissioned, the six docks began to operate fully.
Naturally, ship No. 1 had problems in all directions at the same time as the test run.
From minor problems such as loosening nuts, to the engine room structure being wrong, and vibrations exceeding the normal level, Ship No. 1 is a total mess.
However, thanks to the sacrifice of the first ship, the new ships made in the dock were made by correcting all such defects.
“They said there was another defect in the first boat!”
“In addition? Where are you this time?”
“Aft side and lower deck.”
In other shipyards, reprimands come down from the top for defects, and severe defects are subject to disciplinary action, but the atmosphere of Seron Chosun was completely different.
“The lower part of the deck is already late, and the stern is yet to be worked on, so we can fix it.”
The workers who have completely adapted to it and accept it so casually.
“Still, I got a lot. Do you think this is twice as good as the first?”
“Even if you’re twice as good, you’re honestly yawning.”
“Instead, next time I will come out with a medium-sized item.”
Then a welder picked up the walkie-talkie and said:
“Send me a skeleton.”
At first, cooperating with Skeleton was awkward, but after a few months of working with them, I was completely used to it.
“All work on Area A13 is complete.”
The human staff in Area A13 is finished with all the work they need to do, so start working on the skeleton.
Then, after a while, the skeletons appeared in Area A13 and started working according to the pre-stored algorithm.
In the meantime, the welder who has finished the A13 area naturally takes the tribute skeleton and moves to another area where human staff work is required.
It was truly a perfect collaboration between a skeleton and a person that took place in a few months.
“…By the way, if it’s like this, will it be completed in two months this time?”
Skeletons who never repeat the mistakes they made in the first ship.
Thanks to this, these ships were being built at a normal speed.
“I know. This is real.”
“But this means that only 36 ships can be built at Ceron Shipyard in a year.”
“…is that so? Wow. 36 was crazy.”
“Didn’t we build about 15 ships a year here when we were heavy industry? That too with 10 docks. But now, the number of Ceron Chosun is more than doubled with six. oh Besides, since you keep making these with the same design, if you master it… it will be faster, right?”
The staff smiled and said.
“Isn’t this supposed to be like picking six a month?”
“a. no way.”
“right? Maybe six a month?”
“haha.”
The employees burst into laughter for a while, but the laughter soon fades away.
“…we keep increasing the number of employees, right?”
“uh.”
“The skeleton also said that once the work is saved, it will be put in several times more than it is now.”
“···uh.”
Seron, who has grown at an abnormal rate by pushing the amount of skeletons in the past.
The thought that it would not be impossible for some reason to pass through the minds of the employees if it was the crazy amount of the Seron.
Finally, the silent employee said.
“Stop thinking and just do something.”
“okay.”
*
Exactly two months and ten days.
Six true first-class submarine mining vessels have been completed.
“How about this ship?”
“···There are still a lot of flaws, but compared to No. 1, it has improved a lot.”
“Is it usable in practice?”
“The quality is still poor.”
“So much that I can’t use it?”
Then, after being silent for a while, Jang Cheol-woong said.
“…to be honest, it’s not to the point where I can’t use it at all.”
“OK!”
That’s enough, what!
Unlike ship No. 1, which was of a level that could not be used at all, Seron Chosun created a ship that could be used even if it was below the level.
“Start production right away from No. 8 to No. 13. This time, we aim for average.”
Now, Jang Cheol-woong, who understood me quite well, said.
“All right.”
“Are the sailors pilots arriving?”
“That’s right.”
Although there were many flaws, the operating structure of the first and the rest of the ships was almost the same.
So, in the meantime, I got on the first ship in advance and let the navigators know how to operate it, and the workers also completed the underwater operation training.
“Then what are you waiting for? Let’s go and mine some minerals!”
Now that the only missing ship is equipped, there is no need to hesitate.
Submarine resources await me.
“Are you just going to let it go without even a test drive?”
“You can do it by going to the subsea mining yard.”
“Then, if there is an accident….”
“This time I will follow you! If there is a problem, I will solve it all.”
What’s the problem with the fact that there are only 6 SS-level Awakeners in Korea who stick together and escort you?
They’re first-class ships, so I’ll escort you specially.
At my words, Jang Cheol-woong nodded and said.
“Then I will.”
“Good! Tell the sailors and pilots to get on board right away.”
“Yes.”
After giving instructions to Jang Cheol-woong, I immediately flew into the sky and entered the storage space of ship #2 and summoned the large mining skeleton I had made in advance.
So I summoned the skeletons to all the ships from No. 2 to No. 7 and, rising to the sky again, I saw the sailors and pilots running towards the ship and said with a smirk.
“great. This is the real beginning.”
Undersea resources are all seabed resources.
