Hikaru suddenly asked, "Does it take so many people to work in the mine?"
Anno shook his head: "No, that's the minimum number of workers needed. Not to mention the labor used to transport the mined resources back to the territory."
"After the resources are transported to the territory, we also need labor and tools to start refining minerals and processing them into useful tools."
"The number of employees needed for this is a huge number."
Hikaru nodded when he heard that, he remembered mining on Earth. It was extremely dangerous work but it was also extremely important.
Thanks to mining, people could come into contact with minerals, metals or many other things.
However, the process of processing those raw materials is also extremely complicated. Hikaru didn't know how the process of processing raw materials on Earth worked because when he lived on Earth, he had never been exposed to it.
