How a Calamity Necromancer Retires

(It’s free until here.)

Mayor Yun Ho-chang and Sidae Heavy Industries CEO Joo Young-mo gathered at my request.

“I want to take over Gunsan Shipyard.”

At my words, Mayor Yun Ho-chang said with his eyes shining.

“Are you sure?”

“yes. I need a boat, so I’m going to make it myself. you know? He’s currently mining an undersea mine at Seron Development. But because I don’t have a boat, I can’t mine even if I want to mine more.”

“That’s really good!”

Sidae Heavy Industries, which shines at No. 1 in the world shipbuilding industry rankings.

Such Era Heavy Industries had several shipyards in various parts of Korea, and the Gunsan Shipyard was one of the flagship shipyards of such Era Heavy Industries and the two mountain ranges that supported Gunsan City along with the KM automobile plant.

However, the Gunsan Shipyard, which had such a splendid heyday, was closed six years ago due to the slump in the shipbuilding industry.

In such a situation, how nice it is to know that Seron may now become the shipyard’s relief pitcher.

Joo Young-mo, who was quiet at that time, spoke.

“Shipbuilding is not a simple field that you can jump into right away just because you have money.”

“I know. But who is good at it from the start? Isn’t it all about learning?

You can take over the Gunsan shipyard and hire people in the shipbuilding industry who have lost their jobs.

Of course, there will be trial and error, but I’ll accept that much, well.

“In addition, Sidae Heavy Industries is currently preparing for the Gunsan Shipyard to restart operation next year, so the takeover offer is a bit unreasonable.”

“Is it really restarting?”

“you’re right. We plan to invest 100 billion won only in repairing old equipment.”

Is it really restarting?

This is a bit different from Jang Cheol-woong’s story.

Said shipbuilders are reluctant to increase tables.

Then Yun Ho-chang interrupted and said.

“It’s not a full restart, to be exact, but 40 percent.”

“Forty percent?”

Then Joo Young-mo glanced at Yun Ho-chang and said.

“…Anyway, a restart is a restart, isn’t it?”

Jang Cheol-woong’s words were only half right.

It is true that they are reluctant to increase the number of tables, but since the number of customers is increasing, Sidae Heavy Industries is secretly trying to add a few more.

At that time, Yun Ho-chang said with an excited expression.

“In addition, the 40% restart is still a plan, but it has not been confirmed yet. At a time like this, it would be perfect if Saeron stepped in and took over!”

Since it is related to Gunsan City, Yun Ho-chang is completely on my side.

Joo Young-mo coughed and said, as if the appearance was uncomfortable.

“Anyway, I will restart. Its scale is still undecided.”

Hmm.

Are you doing this to raise the ransom?

“Anyway, even if it restarts 40%, isn’t it that 60% of it is still playing? If we leave it alone, it will continue to deteriorate because it will not be maintained, isn’t it a loss for Sidae Heavy Industries?”

“Even so, the Gunsan Shipyard is an asset of Sidae Heavy Industries, which was created by investing 1.2 trillion won 12 years ago. You can’t suddenly sell it like this.”

If it was 1.2 trillion 12 years ago, it was a lot of investment.

“great. Recognized up to 40% restart. Then sell the other 60 percent.”

“Are you serious?”

“I mean it.”

Is the shipyard acquisition cost a problem now?

Minerals on the bottom of the sea are waiting for my hand, and I have to get them out quickly!

that much money? If you can make enough boats, you can get them back in no time.

Even if you subtract the labor cost, maintenance cost, and the rental fee given to the government as a percentage, there will be more than 20 billion won per month per ship.

Then, one year is 240 billion, so 10 ships is 2.4 trillion, and 100 is 24 trillion won!

I can’t stand this.

“Let’s just keep it simple. How much are you going to sell it for?”

Even if it is a little overpriced, this time I will bear with it.

Because I’m in a hurry

However, Joo Young-mo, who had been thinking about it for a long time, said.

“…It doesn’t seem like a sale either.”

“yes?”

“In a situation where the shipbuilding industry is reviving, selling the Gunsan Shipyard is tantamount to selling the value of the future.”

Would you mind saving an emergency table?

This is difficult.

“Even Chairman Han, don’t do that, just ask us, we’ll make it for you.”

“They said it would take two years.”

“There’s nothing we can do about it because orders are a bit behind.”

“Then why don’t we just restart everything?”

“There is no way to deal with a recession if everything is restarted prematurely.”

It’s safe to push the order amount moderately, right?

“Whoa. This is a problem.”

That’s why you can’t order from China.

I thought about it for a while and said.

“Then how about this? If selling is difficult, rent.”

“Rent?”

“I heard you play 60 percent. I’ll rent it from Seron. It’s better than making fun of it.”

“Rent….”

“The contract period is set for two years, and the period is gradually increased under mutual agreement. Then, when Sidae Heavy Industries says there are not enough tables, they take it out.”

“table?”

“ah. mistake, mistake. that I think alone Anyway, isn’t rent okay?”

If it’s like this, isn’t it a win-win for each other?

At my words, Joo Young-mo said with an interesting expression.

“That might be fine. Rent.”

“Anyway, if people don’t use it, machines will rust. How nice we’ll do the maintenance too, you get the rent too. Instead, please design a ship for seabed mining at Sidae Heavy Industries. Please share some construction know-how. Of course, I will pay for these too.”

Come to think of it, this might be more realistic.

No matter how experienced people are, there is no way they can make something as big as a ship without flaws in the first round of making.

So, borrow it in the form of a lease and get help from Sidae Heavy Industries.

After accumulating skills and know-how like that, at the right time, create a shipyard unique to Seron, well.

“I’ll have to have a meeting with the executives, but I don’t think it’s bad under those conditions.”

“okay! I will give you a generous rent, so please persuade me.”

When the situation was over, Yun Ho-chang smiled brightly and said,

“Then is Gunsan Shipyard finally fully operational? Gunsan citizens will like it.”

“hmm? Ah, hiring staff. Of course you will be hired. But maybe not as much as you expect?”

“yes?”

I pointed my finger at myself and said.

“What do you mean by seron?”

“… Skeleton?”

“answer.”

“Are you thinking of using skeletons as workers?”

I said with a smirk.

“of course. I’m going to roll it like crazy for 24 hours.”

It was introduced in a way like unmanned piloting because there was a job problem in other industries, but it doesn’t matter if this is literally building a ship for use in Seron?

“I hear there are many similarities between construction and shipbuilding, right? The tribute does odd jobs, and the shooter does the important work. It is a labor-intensive industry, so it needs a lot of manpower.”

Then Joo Young-mo said in a fit of anger.

“It’s labor-intensive! Any shipbuilding company can make a ship that requires a high level of technology like an LNG carrier…”

I waved my hand at the excited Joo Young-mo and said.

“Hey. calm down. What I meant was not that kind of thing, but something like a bulk carrier.”

Literally, ships that are faithful to their original mission and only need to float and load well.

In the first place, it’s a good word, it’s a ship for underwater mining, but in fact, it’s just a merchant ship equipped with a crane and optical cable connection function.

“What am I going to build an LNG carrier or something like that? Other than that, bulk carriers are labor-intensive, right?”

Then Joo Young-mo, who was silent for a moment, spoke.

“…That’s right. That’s why China won all the bulk carrier orders.”

Currently, the Korean shipbuilding industry has been revived because it has almost monopolized orders for ships that require high value-added technology such as LNG carriers.

China also entered this area to make LNG carriers, but it is a famous anecdote that it was rejected after asking for help from Korean shipbuilders because there were too many defects.

However, since bulk carriers literally only need to be faithful to the basic functions of a ship, the current world shipbuilding industry is divided into two: China for bulk carriers that are labor-intensive and requiring less technology, and Korea for ships that require technology such as LNG carriers. situation.

And what I wanted was bulk carriers in the same position as China.

“Then welding or painting would have to be done by a person, but simple chores can be done by a skeleton. I heard that they are looking for a lot of shipyard part-time jobs, but skeletons can do what unskilled workers can do.”

A crane would be used for extremely heavy parts, but for parts that are simple but require enormous labor, such as connecting and tightening pipes, a skeleton is sufficient.

A skeleton who assembles small electronics and sews shoes and clothes can’t do one thing?

Of course, repeating a simple task and looking at a drawing and working according to it are a bit different, but isn’t the Seron Education and Research Center made to do that?

Finally, this is a great opportunity to take advantage of the virtuosos who have been studying algorithms hard.

I said with a bright smile.

“Look forward to it, I’ll show you the miracle of a ship being pulled out one by one every month or two.”

*

The Gunsan Shipyard has been refurbished by completing the repair work on old equipment after signing a formal lease contract.

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 Gunsan Shipyard.

“It’s not Sidae Heavy Industries, but it belongs to Seron Chosun.”

People who were so immersed in emotion.

Then a voice is heard.

“now. Everyone, please pay attention.”

The pupils of those who turned their heads to that voice shook.

“I-what is that?”

That person is Han Ji-hyeok, the chairman of the Seron Group.

But after that, people wearing consoles and countless skeletons followed in a row.

“From now on, you are all shooters. And the skeletons behind here are tributes.”

“The tribute is a skeleton?”

“Not a person?”

Han Ji-hyuk smiled brightly and said.

“So the first thing you need to do is master how to work with these skeletons, not build a ship. Director Baek Sang-ho?”

Then, Baek Sang-ho, who was wearing a console, came forward and said.

“I am Baek Sang-ho, director of the center, who will teach you how to utilize the skeleton tribute.”

“By the way, Director Baek Sang-ho is the next best technician in terms of skeleton control. So if you just listen to what the back center manager says and follow it, you will adapt quickly.”

Then Baek Sang-ho sighed and said.

“ha. How much trouble did you put into making this algorithm…”

Then the people behind me nodded and said.

“I didn’t expect to live and study ship design drawings.”

“me too.”

Baek Sang-ho looked at the staff and said.

“ruler. From now on, I will tell you how to control it. first of all······.”

*

The welder who marked the position by attaching velcro to both sides of the steel plate said.

“Skel.”

Then, the eyes of the skeleton that followed as a tribute lighted up.

“Hold on tight.”

Then, a skeleton approached and put his hand on the Velcro attached to both sides of the iron plate.

“A little further to the left… no. I told you not to say it.”

The welder said while holding the iron plate.

“Skel, move.”

Then, when the iron plate is moved, the skeleton moves with its hand on the Velcro.

Then, when the desired angle was obtained, the welder said.

“Skell, fixed.”

Then, the skeleton stopped again with shining eyes.

The welder shakes the plate, but doesn’t even budge how firmly he is holding it.

“Okay, stay still like that.”

A welder who started welding in earnest like that.

“…it’s quite comfortable.”

As a welder, it is important to properly support the steel plate to be welded, but it is a skeleton that does the work efficiently, albeit with a bit of hassle.

Although he couldn’t listen and judge on his own like a human being, in terms of efficiency alone, the skeleton tribute wasn’t bad at all.

Then, skeletons loaded with steel plates and pipes follow the man.

That man is Baek Sang-ho.

When Baek Sang-ho manipulates the console made of bones, the skeletons put down the iron plate and the pipe.

Then he suddenly pulled out a red string, stretched it out, secured it with tape, and banged the console at high speed.

“Connect the No. 3 pipe along the red thread… OK.”

Then, the eyes of the skeletons that followed flashed, and they placed the pipes along the red thread and began to tighten the nuts with the monkey wrench they brought.

Baek Sang-ho, who confirmed the scene, said while covering the stinging sunlight with his hand.

“Oh, it’s hot. This is not normal.”

Seeing this, the welder who finished the welding approached and said,

“You are having a hard time, Director.”

“Everyone is having a hard time, right?”

The welder grinned and said.

“Anyway, I’m going to keep doing this over and over again, is that okay?”

“What?”

“Aren’t you saying that you’re going to take a lot of boats in the future? Then you will have to keep working like this.”

“Ahh. that’s fine I’m not going to stay here all the time.”

“···yes?”

“Right now, tying the red thread to set the work location is all being saved. For the time being, I will only be making a lot of photos of ships of the same design, so all I have to do is load the ones I saved at that time. As the chairman also said, ships and electronic products are different in scale, but it is the same to produce the same thing.”

The welder, not understanding what he meant, said.

“What do you mean?”

“It means that if you handle the task well now, you just need to recall the saved action later. Need plumbing work at this location? Then just load the one you saved this time and you’re done.”

The welder said with an absurd expression.

“You’re saying they’ll connect the plumbing on their own next time without that red thread?”

“It’s not exactly knowing, because it’s the human being who decides when to do this. Instead, at that time, it can be finished with a single button without such a cumbersome process.”

“And what if something goes wrong?”

Then Baek Sang-ho spoke in a calm voice.

“Of course it will happen. Isn’t it rather strange to make something this big for the first time and there are no flaws? Even when making a single shoe, if you leave it to a novice programmer, you’ll end up making a mess. It’ll probably come out great, to the point where it might have to be scrapped as soon as it’s made. but······.”

Baek Sang-ho smiled and said.

“After going through trial and error like that, once you complete it properly, it’s a breeze from then on. Because it literally makes it possible to copy and paste.”

To copy and paste the ship.

I still don’t know what the heck this is about, but isn’t the opponent the best technician Han Ji-hyeok praised until his mouth was dry?

The welder nodded as if it was an area he was completely unfamiliar with.

“okay. ah. By the way, if you’ll excuse me, can you tell me what the salary of a skeleton programmer is?”

“Why are you asking that all of a sudden?”

“Because my son is interested in this.”

Then Baek Sang-ho said with his eyes shining.

“We are fine. I am also in charge of education. If you have any skills, come and test them out. ah. And in the case of annual salary, general programmers start with a starting salary of 5,000.”

The welder said with a slightly disappointed look at the high but mediocre salary.

“okay.”

“However, if you are recognized for your skills and come to our education research center as a researcher and lecturer, the first place in the salary will change. My current salary is 200 million. All instructors are over 100 million. Maybe in the future, it will rise as it rises, and there will be no fall.”

“Ouch!”

said the welder in amazement.

“Do you give that much?”

“Instead, this side requires a lot of study. If ordinary programmers are at the level of just touching computers, we are making programs to be used on computers. It took me months to master this. Anyway, if you are interested, please come and see. We are always in short supply, so talented people are always welcome.”

The welder nodded vigorously.

“All right! I will tell my son to study hard and go to the center.”

“Yes, yes. All right.”

When the welder went back to work, Baek Sang-ho operated the console and said,

“Let’s do it quickly. That way, the next time you work, you can work in a comfortable place.”

In this way, the skeleton, shipwrights, and programmers began to build the first ship in earnest, Seron Shipbuilding.

And this was the signal that signaled the beginning of the ship copying project.
