Franchise God Episode 1260

Chapter 289 Volcanic Eruption (5)

The Japanese government, believing Ha Su-young’s empty promise, used public power to confiscate Android Freedoms that were rented from Japanese companies.

While Japanese companies were desperately whining, they quietly stole Android Freedom from the government without their knowledge.

They also needed Android Freedom for factory recovery work.

Even if heavy equipment is mobilized, there will always be parts that are directly touched by human hands, and the android Freedom, which can exert several times more strength than a human, requires little rest (although it does require cooling time when overheated), and never sleeps, is an irreplaceable resource.

“Just give the government about 35%. That should be enough.”

“Isn’t that giving too much?”

“But you have to give us that much so the cabinet members won’t get suspicious. Just cut it off at 35% and give it to them.”

“All right.”

So some of the Android Freedoms were loaded onto transport trucks and taken into government control.

***

Toyota Motor has begun the process of demolishing its collapsed factory site.

First, a high wall was built to block the view from the outside.

So that no government officials happen to see Android Freedom at work, even from a distance.

And they started the demolition work using heavy equipment.

No knight was needed. Android Freedom could operate heavy equipment better than any skilled knight.

There is a problem of not having a license, but a license is only for people.

There are no regulations governing robots operating heavy equipment.

“Everything that can be salvaged from the equipment must be salvaged.”

“Okay, I’ll try my best to save you.”

As the heavy equipment opened the entrance, the Android Freedoms entered the factory without hesitation.

The good thing about Android is that you can do dangerous work without worrying about human casualties.

There may be liability for damages, but if it is truly dangerous, Android will detect it first and avoid the risk.

Or, after days of work to remove the hazard and move forward again, Toyota was able to salvage much of the damaged plant’s machinery.

“Wow! I never imagined I could salvage this much.”

“It would have been impossible for a human to do it. The android guys would disassemble large equipment on the spot, pick out only the perfectly good parts, and reassemble them into complete products.”

“Is that true?”

“Yes, sir. How could I lie?”

The Toyota president who came out for the inspection was once again amazed by the power of the Android Freedom Unit.

It would be impossible if you asked a human worker to do it.

It would be impossible to entrust the demolition of a collapsed factory to a team of professional engineers, and even if they had, they would not have been able to do it with this much efficiency.

“Honestly, the work speed itself is incomparable to that of humans. If it had been done by a human worker, it would have taken at least ten times longer.”

“More than ten times.”

“And, sir, the true value of Android Freedom was not seen in a system that was tightly fitted together like a conveyor belt.”

Of course, even in a highly divided system, androids are far more efficient than humans in terms of accuracy, speed, and accuracy.

“Right now, in a messy and complex task, we can achieve greater efficiency than a group of human technicians. From now on, we must use Android Freedom unconditionally.”

The Toyota president nodded at the factory manager’s enthusiastic attitude.

“The factory manager is right. This incident makes it even more certain. In the future, we need to rent more androids to replace human workers.”

Androids, unlike human workers, do not need welfare.

There is no need to waste space by building break rooms, no need to operate cafeterias, and even vending machines can be reduced or eliminated.

“Only unmanned operation is the answer.”

***

“That’s the most retarded thinking that capitalists tend to fall into.”

Ha Soo-young was cooking, and Jang Hyo-ju was sitting at the table waiting.

“Hyo-ju, what do you think money is?”

“Well, something worth buying?”

“It’s essentially a force that moves people.”

“What is the force that moves people?”

“Whether it’s selling me stuff, or making me work for them, or building a building for them out in the middle of nowhere, or actually buying a building, it’s because someone used money to make someone else build it for them. Then I just took it over.”

“aha.”

“But how will the world change when unmanned systems reach their ultimate state? What good is hoarding money for? There will be no one to move it.”

“In the movie, he appears to live with a bunch of robot servants.”

“Communication with humans is something that only humans can provide.”

“Then what if a true humanoid that surpasses humans appears?”

“If you take away the outer shell, you won’t be able to consider the machine parts inside as real human beings. You may be satisfied with the appearance, but it won’t last long.”

Ha Su-yeong put the golden-brown whale meat on a plate and placed it on the table.

The best caviar, which looked like it was about to burst, was also placed on the side. The white kimchi sprinkled on top of sturgeon roe was the finishing touch.

“In the end, population is what determines the game.”

“Is this a game too?”

“Whether it’s a company or a country, running something and making it prosper is essentially the same as playing a game. Even if each individual had the production capacity of a country and was completely self-sufficient, people would still eventually seek out other people.”

“The explanation has become a bit grandiose. I just asked if it wasn’t a waste to have that expensive Android go to the company to do the work of a person on leave.”

“Robots are best used as tools for humans, not as replacements for humans. If they were to replace humans, society would collapse.”

The two sat across from each other and began to eat.

“Just wait and see. Now that Japanese companies and the government have had a taste of Android, it won’t be long before unemployment disappears from Japan.”

“Isn’t that a good thing? It’s the complete opposite of what I’ve said so far.”

“When unemployment becomes the default and employment becomes a rare special case, the word unemployment does not apply.”

“ah.”

Jang Hyo-ju clapped her hands lightly as if she understood.

“At first, I didn’t know that, so I insisted on unmanned systems and ended up destroying civilization several times.”

“That’s a game story too, right?”

“yes.”

“I rarely see you play games on a regular basis. When did you end up playing so many games? Do you play them secretly while I’m sleeping? But the other sisters said they haven’t seen you play games either.”

“I’m turning on auto.”

“Is it fun to play like that? After all, I’m not playing it myself.”

“Originally, it’s more comfortable and fun when someone else does it for you.”

Jang Hyo-ju looked at her with her chin resting on her hand and asked seductively.

“Do you think it would be more fun if someone else played with me instead?”

Ha Soo-young approached, wiping her lips.

When I lifted her up gently, she let out a squeal of delight.

“Can you make someone else do even breathing for you?”

***

Japan quickly regained stability.

Ironically, Ha Su-young’s stay in Japan greatly helped her external credit rating.

This created external trust that Ha Su-yeong was staying in Japan with peace of mind because it was safe.

In fact, no more volcanic eruptions occurred.

“If it’s Chairman Ha Soo-young, he’ll be able to obtain sufficiently advanced forecast information.”

“I’m sure the US has given us information that it’s safe. That’s why we’re staying here and taking a step forward in the Japanese recovery effort.”

“Japan is now safe.”

In fact, Ha Su-yeong had no involvement in the Japanese reconstruction project at all.

They are only interested in food exports and food truck business, and have not even secured a single construction project license.

However, Android Freedom is working hard to restore the system here and there.

The Japanese who witnessed this thought that Ha Su-yeong had received a large-scale restoration project contract from the government.

Meanwhile, no recovery work was being done in the Kyushu, Chugoku, and Shikoku regions.

This is because former Prime Minister Hisataro exerted his influence over the cabinet to postpone the recovery work.

As a result, Kyushu’s population exodus was occurring at a very steep rate.

“The recovery work in Chugoku and Shikoku, which are right next to us, is already this slow, so when will the recovery team arrive in Kyushu?”

“The government has abandoned Kyushu! It has abandoned Chugoku and Shikoku as well!”

“The government is currently prioritizing Tokyo and carrying out restoration work in the order of the areas closest to Tokyo. It will take several years for Kyushu to get its turn.”

As such ominous rumors spread, the people of Kyushu began to flee even faster.

In Kyushu, where there are no food trucks, it was difficult to eat a proper meal, and it was common to soak raw rice in water and chew it before eating.

Some people floated conspiracy theories about the smooth escape from Kyushu itself compared to the delayed recovery, but Ha Su-yeong eventually succeeded in purchasing 60% of the entire land in Kyushu.

Land prices in Kyushu were falling day by day, and it was not difficult to purchase national or municipal land.

The money earned from food exports such as rice, beans, canned meat, and fish was returned to the Japanese government in its entirety through land prices.

“Hmm, if this is the case, wouldn’t it be worth considering the Hankyu Overseas Bridge in a positive light?”

“You originally considered building a sea bridge on the premise that the entire Kyushu would become the Master’s private property.”

“I guess they hate it in Busan.”

“It is highly likely that products passing through Busan Port will enter Japan and then be exported overseas through Japanese ports.”

There was a solution, and it was simple.

All you have to do is make it more expensive to go through Japanese ports.

They charge high fees for cargo passing through the Hankyu Sea Bridge.

Additionally, ships that call at Busan can be gradually replaced with electric propeller ships.

Maritime logistics is ultimately determined by freight rates, and freight rates can change dramatically depending on how much fuel a ship consumes.

“We need to quickly take over the shipbuilding market with swimming motors.”

“The work of replacing existing LNG-powered ships with electric ships is too slow. Ship owners do not want to retrofit new ships that they have built at great expense.”

“Well, we haven’t 100% eaten up Kyushu yet. For now, we can put the Haegyu Bridge on hold.”

The yen that had been collected through the sale of fish in the black market and elsewhere was being used in this way.

Since most of it was received in cash, it wasn’t even included in the amount of swimming pool loans received.

Of course, even though the price plummeted, the fish sales alone were not enough to purchase that large land, even if the price was hundreds of times higher than the market price.

“Master, we now have less than 50 billion yen left borrowed from the Japanese government.”

“Yeah, ask him to lend you some more.”

Ha Su-yeong borrowed money from the Japanese government and banks to cover the cost of purchasing Kyushu.

Thanks to Prime Minister Hisataro’s arrangement.
