The next day, the whole of Sam's city was in full action mode. The factory production increased and there are some new designs coming into play. There are new parts for manufacturing. But the original production was not stopped at all.
Because, there was a rule placed by Philip before his journey that, in the idle times of the machines of the factory, people can make parts and try to create new production machines, like lathes, drilling machines, power hammers, etc.
He said that they would have rewards. Apparently, it worked. After all, most of the workers are cultivators, even though their strength is less and battle prowess is not good, they could still endure the hardship of working in a factory.
