Chapter 20: Factory Operation
Factory Operation
[Oh, you've arrived?]
Artemis greeted me at the factory complex. She had suggested that I take a look around the reconstruction site.
Though she always speaks clearly, with all sorts of machinery humming away, I had to get closer to hear her properly. There are some challenges since there are no workers around, but the factory was already largely automated.
She’s been gradually converting even the essential, manpower-dependent tasks into automated processes. Materials were piled up everywhere in the busy site, and quite a few cars, likely brought up to be used as spare parts, had been dismantled and were blocking the paths.
[Wait a moment.]
At her words, a crane machine cleared away the materials blocking my way.
"Looks like you're busy."
[I have to be. I've only just started the work that should have been done ever since I woke up.]
