Chapter 210

The so-called "silver coin" is not enough. It doesn't mean that Chu Guang is short of money.

To tell you a joke, as a game planner, he changes the value and moves his fingers. How can he be short of money?

The chips of Jushi City, the CR of the enterprise and the Dinar of the Legion are "foreign exchange". In addition, the "silver coin" is really just a number for Chu Guang.

As long as there is a need, he can send as many as he wants.

Of course, in order to prevent hyperinflation, he will still ask Xiaoqi to help make a report, count the production and material consumption of the shelter on a monthly basis, and make a planned budget table to ensure that the growing organization of shelter 404 can run in an orderly manner.

However, the problem now is that although silver coins can be issued at will, the "game coins" previously used as "silver coins" are not enough.

At first, because there was no coinage condition, Chu Guang adopted a method similar to that of Jushi City, using the game currency of a home appliance game city as an equivalent exchange.

This game coin is similar to chips. The surface texture and pattern have a certain degree of recognition, and the exclusive currency and logo design have strong regionality. This coin can be found only in a specific video game city. Moreover, this video game city is located outside Qingquan city. When it is used on a small scale, it is a dream to pick it up when picking up waste.

And most importantly, the design of this coin is special. Like the chips of Boulder City, it has certain anti-counterfeiting technology.

Making as like as two peas on the waste soil, it is not worth it.

However, the shortcomings of this currency are also obvious. The inability to reproduce it means that it cannot be issued at will.

You can't cut one out with "magnetically confined plasma"?

That cost is too high!

Both the inert gas used as cutting medium and the fusion battery used to power the equipment are regarded as non renewable sources on the waste soil.

If you run out, only God knows when you can get it again.

Fortunately, however, Chu Guang got the B2 layer permission of the shelter, found the VM piled in the warehouse, implemented the electronization of money through the VM, recovered some money from the players and solved some problems.

However, with the influx of new players and the gradual flow of silver coins into the hands of surrounding survivors, his hundreds of thousands of coins have evaporated at the speed of light recently, and there are only a few thousand left!

Until next month, Chu Guang will have to pay NPCs.

You can't write a note then, can you?

It's funny that the fat group in the warehouse can't pay wages!

Therefore, the issuance of the second generation currency is imperative!

At present, the gold reserve of the outpost is about 500 kg, and the silver reserve is relatively high, reaching 4000 kg. It can make some precious metal currencies.

However, the problem is that the precious metals on the waste land are not scarce, which can be seen from the Legion of implementing the "gold standard" monetary policy.

The weight of a Dinar is 9g, and the net content of gold is about 4 ~ 5g. Under the current market, it takes 1000 ~ 2000 dinars to buy a strong non quick clone slave, in other words, 8 ~ 10kg gold.

A centurion can pay a ransom of 200000 dinars, equivalent to a ton of gold. If calculated according to the prices in the real world, it may be hundreds of millions of soft younger sister coins!

Obviously, the gold reserves in the pre war society of the waste land world are not the same order of magnitude as those in the real world, at least ten times or even more than a hundred times, and the per capita retention can not be compared.

Otherwise, it would not be possible for a thousand commanders to take out a full ton of gold.

Therefore, the precious metal standard is difficult to work on waste soil, and it is the opposite reason to the earth.

The Legion chose to solve this problem with quantity, which supported its value.

Enterprises are pure credit currency, using paper money with high anti-counterfeiting technology, which is similar to the mainstream monetary system of countries in the real world, so as to facilitate the adjustment of money supply at any time. The reason why the financial industry in ideal city is developed is also inseparable from loose monetary policy.

However, on the contrary, it also leads to the uncertainty of CR's purchasing power and influence outside the east coast.

Even the enterprise's own caravans prefer barter, and even prefer to use the dinars of the Legion rather than a pile of colorful paper.

After all, in their industrial system, gold is still useful, but the supply is a little large, so it is not very valuable.

In fact, no matter which route to refer to, there can be no optimal solution, only the choice that best meets the current needs.

After some trade-offs, Chu Guang integrated some ideas put forward by the small players on the forum during discussion and exchange, and added a certain scarcity attribute to the currency on the premise of adopting the credit based monetary system.

The coins of the second generation still follow the setting of silver coins, but they are no longer silver coins hanging sheep's head and selling dog meat, but silver coins designed and minted by the shelter.

The weight of the silver coin is tentatively 10g. It is made of 90% silver and 10% copper and circulated with 100 face value banknotes.

As for copper coins, the circulation will be gradually suspended until they completely withdraw from the market.

Old players can pay electronically, but new players and most NPCs can't, and neither can waste customers and caravans coming and going here.

The new currency is mainly launched for these people!

At the same time, in order to prevent the value of silver coins from seriously exceeding the value of the metal itself, Chu Guang plans to take the initiative to inflate about 50% within two versions.

The specific plan is to raise the purchase and sale prices of NPC stores for agricultural products, prey, garbage and other raw materials, and raise the smallest trading unit to more than 1 silver coin while maintaining the revival fee.

The prices of industrial products such as weapons and bullets remained unchanged.

Since the establishment of the new industrial zone, the cost of industrial products has decreased significantly, which can just offset part of the impact of inflation.

Allowing more players to consume bullets and better weapons is a disguised enhancement.

At the same time, with the rise of raw materials, the salary of NPC and the basic income of player tasks will also rise with the tide. The prey hit by hunters can almost double in the new version.

This can also be regarded as balancing the income gap between different playing methods and occupations.

……

New industrial zone.

In the corner of the waste tire factory, in the brick house next to the guard post, a large number of waste parts are displayed here, some of which have been assembled into usable machines.

Several workers in fur clothes are adding a special alkaline sizing agent to a large pot of pulp made of cotton, hemp and other plant fibers.

The production operation is in full swing.

In the wooden box next to it, a batch of products have been produced.

Under natural conditions, these papers show the color of flax gray and will be slightly blue when transparent. The reason for this is that the fungus powder ground by blue umbrella mushroom after drying is added to the pulp.

Chu Guang didn't expect that the mushrooms he pressed at the bottom of the warehouse to eat ash came in handy at this time.

Standing next to the box, Chu Guang held a piece of paper cut into squares in his hand. After rubbing it between his index finger and thumb for a while, he looked at the old man standing aside.

"How many sheets of this paper can you produce a day?"

After hearing the manager's inquiry, the old man replied respectfully.

"My Lord, in addition to the blue umbrella mushroom, we also need a special nettle to produce this kind of paper. Although this is not a rare thing, it is difficult to find in winter. If the supply of raw materials is sufficient, we can produce about 500 kg a day."

The old man's name is Wu Mu. He comes from the settlement of survivors in the middle of the river valley province. They joined Jiuli on the way and came with the refugee team in the northern suburb of Qingquan city.

Before becoming a refugee, he was a papermaker and made a living from it.

The profession of paper maker is quite rare in waste soil. After all, paper is not rare at all.

Even if cash accounts for less than 1% of transactions in the era of the people's Federation, the remaining banknotes are still a huge astronomical number.

The survivors on the waste land have been burning for more than 200 years, but there are still a lot left.

In addition, there are libraries, schools and other educational facilities, as well as bookshelves in private houses. Acid free paper made of synthetic fiber is like plastic and can be preserved for a long time.

Some survivors will use the money of the pre war society to make paper shells, or break the paper into fibers to replace cotton as the liner of clothes or bedding.

When Jiuli heard that Chu Guang needed a papermaker, he immediately recommended the old man named Wu Mu to him.

The old man named Wu Mu did not disappoint Chu Guang.

In less than a week, he made a set of simple papermaking equipment with the player's recycled parts and equipment.

Through the special alkaline sizing agent and the formula uploaded by Zu, the paper made by Wu Mu feels like a dime of the money players picked up from the waste soil as toilet paper.

So Chu Guang couldn't help wondering what his ancestors did

He coughed softly, Chu Guang said.

"Five hundred kilograms is enough."

The weight of a note is about 1g.

After the printing problem is solved, the 500 kg paper is enough for him to issue 500000 notes!

Chu Guang paused and continued.

"I will find someone to solve the problem of raw materials. After this batch of products are produced, there is no need to rush to produce the next batch. Before resuming production, I need you to solve a key problem."

Then Chu Guang took a thread thinner than hair from his pocket and put it on Wu Mu's hand.

After looking at the thin thread for a while, the expression on the old man's face suddenly floated a surprised expression.

"Is this... Devil's silk?!"

This thing is much rarer than blue umbrella mushroom!

"Yes," Chu Guang nodded and continued, "Since you know it, I won't repeat its characteristics. I need you to find a way to implant it into the paper, whether it's weaving or pressing it directly when making paper. There's only one requirement, that is, it can reflect part of the characteristics of devil's silk on the paper. I'll say it straight. It's mainly used for anti-counterfeiting."

Wu Mu's face showed a look of embarrassment.

After a moment of hesitation, he said rigorously.

"My Lord, I haven't tried such a thing... I can't promise you that I can do it. I can only say try."

Chu Guang said.

"Well, try all the methods you can think of first. If it can't be solved, I'll think of other ways."

After explaining the matter, Chu Guang turned and walked outside the house.

However, when Chu Guang came to the door, he suddenly remembered another thing. He stopped and looked back at the old man.

"By the way, who knows the formula of these papers except you?"

The old man said at once.

"I personally added the proportion of each component of the pulp and the key additives. In addition to the detailed proportion written in the formula in your hand, I am the only one who knows what materials are used and how much materials are used!"

Chu Guang gave him a look of approval.

"Good. I hope you keep it up."

"As like as two peas, I don't want to be able to get something that looks exactly the same as us," do you know what I mean?

The old man swore nervously.

"Don't worry, sir. I promise I'll rot the secret in my stomach."

Chu Guang nodded.

"I hope so."

It is impossible to expect the formula to be completely confidential. There is no technical threshold for this thing. It is likely to be found after a little research.

At most, the blue umbrella mushroom has a certain resource scarcity. The technology in the post-war era can neither be synthesized nor cultivated artificially. It is even sold in Boulder City, and the price is not cheap.

And devil's silk.

Plus these two things, even if there is no "enterprise" so powerful watermark anti-counterfeiting technology, it can ensure that the people who make counterfeit banknotes are unprofitable.

Both banknotes and coins are mainly prepared for NPCs.

As for players.

Of course, it is still based on more convenient electronic payment.

Night ten: "Dawn: Gee, you found me secretly ordering. (funny)"

The topics on the forum mainly focused on the upcoming alpha 1.0 version and the medal system.

As for boss Xia's new weapon, there was not much discussion about it.

After all, the barrel and gearbox are made by No. 81 iron and steel plant. The two plant directors irrigate on the forum every day and exchange the manufacturing technology of seamless steel pipe with some netizens who are more punished than mosquitoes.

They already know what the new weapon to be put on the shelf is. I'm afraid the only suspense is the name of the weapon.

Last time it was ld-47. What's this time?

It can't be a hammer.

……

In addition to serious discussion posts, there are also jokes about the edge rowing man.

Worried that the teammates of OB on the forum couldn't find home, big eye in debt specially opened a post to bring in everyone Aite.

"Close! Today's death lottery! The result of this lottery is 20! Unfortunately, I guessed six. It's still too conservative, but it doesn't matter, because no one guessed right, so the result is a draw! No one has achieved a world of losing money. (funny)"

Makabazi: "hahaha, the black car of death is really hammered! No, MMP, I'm dead too!"

Young man and brick on the construction site: "Gan! I'm sweeping with a machine gun. Why are people gone! The free bullets issued by the task haven't been finished! (angry)"

Responsible big eye: "it's all right. I'm finished for you. (funny)"

Site youth and brick: "MMP!"

Edge stroke: "Hey, brothers, I'm sorry you didn't bring you back."

When typing this line, the edge of the stroke is really cracked.

The first time to lead the team was in an encounter with the No. 76 mutant.

From then on, as long as he was the captain, everything went wrong. He often suffered 10000 tons of damage, so that some people even teased him. Next time, just wear a gas mask. When you wear it, you can cos the Krieg death Corps.

If it wasn't planned, he wouldn't believe it.

Fortunately, his teammates did not blame him.

Debt big eye: "it's all right. Seeing you come down, my heart is much more balanced."

Spring Commander: "touch the edge, man, it's a man!"

Roller shampoo: "hahaha, + 1, what's the big deal? Playing games can't die? We makabazi have died several times and don't laugh all day."

Makabazi: "Gan! What do you mean to die several times? I'm specially targeted by planning!"

Site youth and brick: "brother Guang: again? I dare next time."

Makabazi: "@#%!"

OB's little players are still pouring water on the forum, and smart little players have begun to draw.

No matter what the mysterious gift Xiaoyu said, this is an opportunity to design game currency!

If this passes, you can't go to the hall of fame?

In the future, full-service players use their own designed currencies. Think about it!

……

On the road leading to the south of Tianshui City, a 100 person army is withdrawing.

Because they came in a hurry and left in a hurry, everyone looked tired and sat listlessly on the truck.

The man who was also sitting on the truck with only a pinch of hair on his head looked heavy.

Opposite him sat a group of ten captains, such as feather, beaver and iron knee. At the moment, they were trembling and dared not breathe. They bowed their heads and counted the mud on their boots.

Kevin, sitting next to the steel teeth, comforted him.

"At least we annihilated one of their elite, and the situation was not as bad as expected."

Steel teeth bit their teeth and a word came out from between their teeth.

"Why do they also have Legion weapons?"

"It's no surprise that the valley provinces are full of Legion weapons. What you should worry about is that they not only have Legion weapons, but also have their own standard weapons."

Looking at the captured assault rifle in his hand, Kevin didn't care about the victory or defeat for the moment, and his eyes were full of interest.

The rifle is cleverly designed.

In particular, the gearbox structure is extremely simple, even retro.

However, it is surprisingly durable.

The regiment's assault rifles adopt a similar design idea, but the number of assault rifles equipped in the regiment is not too much. They are generally distributed to elite troops or equipped with submachine guns to line up with the front ten captains.

In the Legion, a large number of light infantry filling the front and attacking the enemy are mainly long bayonets and bolt action rifles, and the supporting firepower is mainly provided by one or two machine gunners.

After all, the life span of a clone infantry on the front line is too short, let alone firing an automatic rifle. Giving an extra bag of bullets is a waste.

With that capacity, it's better to send two more shells to the artillery position.

"By stamping and forging the gearbox, you can punch and make the cartridge case... This thing is much more powerful than an iron tube rifle."

The steel nail frowned at Kevin's words.

"What's the difference?"

Bone chewing tribes can also imitate Legion ammunition and weapons. Although it is a little inefficient, they have enough slaves.

Coupled with taking over a large number of Legion stocks and the support of the torch church, he doesn't think it's great to be able to make weapons.

It's only a matter of time before the big troops go to the front and crush those ants!

However, this is exactly what the staff said, and steel teeth still took it seriously.

Kevin nodded and said concisely.

"Yes, and it's very different."

He looked out of the truck.

Looking to the south, the man with a raised nose narrowed his eyes slightly.

"This means that they already have a certain industrial capacity, even a little."

"These people are hard to deal with!"
