Chapter 284 Experiment for Capitalists (4)
“Android Freedom can be several times stronger than a human, and can perform much more precise and delicate tasks without making mistakes. It doesn’t sleep, doesn’t complain, and its work efficiency doesn’t suffer.”
The soft voice sounded like a temptation on the devil’s flickering tongue.
“Pay us half of what you pay your factory workers today, and we’ll make it twice as efficient for you to do what they’re doing.”
The labor cost share in the Japanese automobile industry is approximately 6%.
This means that for every 1 trillion won in sales, 6% is spent on labor costs.
You can reduce that to 3% in one fell swoop?
Since the operating efficiency is doubled, doesn’t that mean that it is practically reduced to 1.5% or less?
“How do you handle the maintenance and energy supply costs of the robot?”
“You just have to pay fixed labor costs. Of course, you have to reflect the increase in prices every year. Other than that, there’s nothing else for you to worry about.”
I’m attracted to you. I’m so attracted to you.
Five entrepreneurs wondered what pitfalls lay ahead in this grand deal.
But no matter how much I imagined it, I couldn’t figure out how the swimming group could harm themselves with this.
‘There’s definitely some kind of trap.’
‘What the heck is that?’
What one could imagine with the mind of a ‘Japanese imperialist bloodline capitalist’ was the case where Ha Su-yeong was swinging his weight around in factory management.
“If we trusted you and replaced all of our manpower with robots, and then one day you suddenly withdraw, wouldn’t we be the only ones who suffer?”
“Then let’s exercise the 3-year grace period option.”
“3 years?”
“It is an option that you can request at any time to postpone the withdrawal of your robots. Of course, it is up to you whether you exercise it or not.”
“If we exercise the three-year grace period while demanding withdrawal first….”
“Of course you can. Didn’t you say anytime? It’s literally a free option.”
The complexions of the five entrepreneurs brightened slightly.
If a three-year grace period is given, safety measures are certain even if the robots are suddenly withdrawn.
‘Even if you try to hit the back of the head later, you’ll be able to replace it all in 3 years… ‘
“But what can I put up as collateral?”
“Each of your companies will put up a collateral amount of 300 billion yen. I am making a lot of money in Japan from the grain and fish business.”
“But in business, there is no such thing as an unjustified favor. This deal seems to be unilaterally advantageous to us.”
“Does this seem unilaterally advantageous?”
“Isn’t it?”
Ha Soo-young continued speaking with a light chuckle.
“The manufacturing cost of our robots has now dropped significantly. Maintenance costs are also very low.”
“…….”
“If you pay me just 3% of my sales, I’ll make a lot of money. And the Japanese car factory is just the beginning. I want to send ‘robot workers’ to every factory in Japan. Then how much money can I make every month?”
It was a single word that would immediately put an end to the anxiety of the Japanese imperialist bloodline capitalists.
Enter all manufacturing industries in Japan and collect labor costs instead of the workers?
If so, then an astronomical amount of cash cows will be created.
The five entrepreneurs finally admitted that there were no particular pitfalls to this deal.
money.
That is the most fundamental and absolute reason why entrepreneurs want to make a deal.
So the five entrepreneurs decided to be a little more ambitious.
“We are currently experiencing difficulties in operating our factories due to a shortage of automotive semiconductors. Could you possibly help us with this?”
A call to stop now, even if it’s just for vehicle semiconductor sanctions.
Ha Soo-young readily agreed.
“Yes. If the factory runs well, I will be able to collect a lot of robot labor costs. I will tell the American semiconductor companies.”
“Would it be possible for us to purchase a motor produced by Swimming Motors?”
“It is difficult because the general type is sold as a package with the constant power charging service.”
It is an anti-gravity engine originally designed to move heavy objects weighing over 100 million tons. It is not a motor.
It just looks like a motor to others because it adds an inefficient conversion process that changes the anti-gravity force into a rotational force.
By disguising the technology of the distant future to make it look good to modern eyes, we ended up including this extremely inefficient conversion process.
If you sell swimming motors to Japanese automakers, the Japanese companies will inevitably become convinced of the existence of wireless electricity.
“For now, are you satisfied with this level of transaction? If you gradually build up your credit, wouldn’t you be able to do bigger transactions?”
Japan’s five major automakers all signed contracts that day.
***
Currently, a total of 100,000 gigabytes of Android Freedom have been completed.
Even if we just rotated some of the volumes that were quietly sleeping in containers, it would be enough to handle Japan’s top five automobile factories.
Japanese automakers that sequentially introduced Android Freedom were astonished by its performance.
In particular, each factory manager was amazed at Android Freedom’s ability to communicate better than a person and to flexibly solve problems.
“These are guys who think and act more like people than people. They have a flexibility that is on a whole other level than Shiri. They perfectly distinguish between conceptual concepts, atmospheres, and even nuances that only people can understand. As a worker, there is no better substitute.”
Entrepreneurs who got a taste of the good things from the pilot deployment got greedy and increased the deployment of Android Freedom.
What would take 100 people to do, Android Freedom could do with far fewer people.
There is no need to rotate shifts.
Since all the process steps are neatly organized in real time and shared among individuals, there is no need to give painful instructions here and there.
Even the slightest instruction from the factory manager is instantly transmitted to all entities and shared without error or distortion.
One executive who visited the factory to review its efficiency was thrilled.
“It’s absolutely beautiful. It’s a perfect, amazing, high-tech factory that couldn’t be more beautiful.”
“I am confident that there will be no mistakes, no inefficiencies, no delays in this plant.”
“This is the path that the factories of the future must take.”
***
Japan’s major automakers face a new problem.
It was a way to get rid of all the staff that were no longer needed.
Having tasted the true taste of Android Freedom, management no longer wanted to use components made of protein, fat, and calcium.
In less than two weeks, management learned the hard way how efficient the components made of titanium alloy and silicon were.
“You, you have been assigned to Hokkaido.”
“Old? What do you mean?”
“Stop talking nonsense and come to work at the Hokkaido factory starting tomorrow.”
Toyota boldly transferred all of its employees to the northernmost plant in Hokkaido.
They say it’s a factory, but they ended up transferring all the employees to a hideous factory site that was deemed unsuitable for investment and was left unfinished.
A facility under construction that is not even able to properly perform its work, with no electricity or water supply.
The reason I was asked to come to work here was obvious.
“Can this be… Is the company saying they don’t need us anymore?”
“Why have you been transferred to such a remote place? They’re telling you not to come to work anymore.”
“No. I still have a mountain of loans to repay…….”
“My son is only a middle school student now… He can’t just collapse at this level…”
The employees were frustrated, but they did not give up and stubbornly went to work in Hokkaido.
Their daily routine was to take a train that took several hours every day to a desolate factory site with no work to do, and then just wait around in a daze all day.

“The end of capitalism that I’ve seen most often is social mass suicide.”
“Social mass suicide. How did it happen?”
“When the exploitation of the prey class has become so severe that there is nothing left to exploit, the capitalists are once again divided into the predatory class and the preyed.”
Ha Soo-young closed her eyes and quietly recalled the old days.
“When the exploitable working class disappears and the lower capitalists are devoured by the upper capitalists, human civilization will lose the very driving force to continue into the future.”
A world filled with people who have given up on reproduction, living day by day without hope or dreams, waiting only for death.
The majority of the ‘parts’ of a society whose hopes have been completely sapped do not wish to reproduce or prosper any longer, and wish to cut off everything from their generation.
“Only a small number of victorious predatory groups will attempt to domesticate ‘livestock’, but their extinction is already irreversible.”
“Genetically, we are all the same human race, so ultimately, the entire human gene pool is drastically reduced.”
“In a world where 90% of the human population declines every 30 years, human extinction can happen in the blink of an eye.”
“Then what is the least-seen apocalypse?”
“If the world continues long enough for robots to replace all human labor, then we will be divided into a single predator and countless other prey.”
“Is there only one capitalist left? Then it would be okay to call him an absolute monarch.”
“Yes. This king doesn’t need any subjects. He only needs to control the robots, since they will do everything for him. In return, the rest of humanity will be completely freed from labor, and will be able to live happily without even realizing that they are livestock in a fenced-in enclosure.”
“Everything is controlled and managed by a single capitalist. It’s just like that one person’s property.”
“Even his family is just property to him.”
“What about the successor?”
“He does not have a successor. He neither ages nor dies. Of course, immortality is not granted to anyone else.”
“Wouldn’t something like an unexpected accident happen?”
“Unless you’re caught in the middle of a sudden explosion of Mt. Daehwa, that’s unlikely. Even then, loyal robots will immediately replicate your somatic cells and inject you with memories that have been backed up in real time, allowing you to continue living.”
The extinction of a species through social mass suicide.
A world where one capitalist owns everything.
The former is the ending that Ha-young has seen the most, and the latter is the ending that she has experienced the least.
“Do you know what the midpoint is?”
“No matter how many times you run the simulation, you can’t pinpoint a single value. This is because all possible cases are highly probable.”
“It’s a cyclical reset of society. It’s not a mass suicide that causes death, but a massive, massive cancer removal, followed by a fresh start.”
“This is something that has happened several times on various scales throughout human history.”
“War, revolution, rebellion, it mostly happens in that form.”
“So what will be the result of supplying robot labor to Japanese manufacturing companies?”
“What’s your calculation?”
“It seems that the Master has reached the end of capitalism that he has seen the most.”
Only when there is no longer a working class to exploit does predation and devouring begin to occur among capitalists.
No matter how many survive inside, once the chaos is sorted out, we will witness a devastated social body that can no longer survive.
“If large-scale unemployment continues for a long time due to the provision of android labor, the prey for the predators to prey on will eventually disappear completely.”
“that’s right.”
Ha Soo-young nodded quietly.
“Japan has never experienced this kind of attack. No, no country has ever experienced this kind of attack.”
Those who have no income cannot consume.
No matter how much real estate, cash, and business wealth Japan’s wealthy have, what if the consumer base that would buy their products completely disappears?
The ecosystem of Japan itself is facing extinction.
“Also, release all 400,000 additional Androids into Japan. Continue to place orders for parts. Within 3 years, we will distribute at least 5 million Android workers throughout Japan.”
“I will take all the jobs, including those at rural convenience stores, and eliminate all places for workers to work.”
Japanese capitalists and politicians will be very happy about it up to a point.
