Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 575 Yuan Bit

In Leibu's lounge, while waiting for Phaethon to come out for the first time, Shangluo was taking notes.

"So, I decided that after I finish my own business, I will do something practical for everyone. I want to provide everyone with access to cheap Internet."

[According to my observation, you are an Internet addict yourself. A forum with only a thousand people is not enough for you]

"Ahem~" Shangluo coughed, "I don't understand why I make rash judgments because I don't understand the Internet. As the new official of Tianjun, I will make sure to connect everyone to the Internet. From the end of this year to the beginning of next year, I will connect the Internet to everyone." Connecting millions of people online doesn’t cost the country a grain of rice.”

[Are you planning to run for consulship now? Why would the Romans take such a big tone when they run for consulship? 】

"I will definitely honor my words. And I already have an idea. I didn't plan to ask for Zhu Ling's investment before because of this. The assets are about to increase in value. At this time, accepting her investment will mean giving her some money. ?”

[So that’s what you planned. I thought you wanted to save her some money. 】

"Ha, if I am really short of money, maybe I will. After we save this first money, we will start investing in the Pure Land. Look at the electricity meter, how many bits did Phaethon consume in such a while? "

[Let me take a look. Well, let me calculate it for you. The 'Pure Land Technology' we are currently using is to advance the time inside the Pure Land by consuming metabits. Each meta-bit can advance time by 'one frame'. In other words, at 24 frames per second and 86400 seconds per day, 207 million bits are consumed per day. The oil we currently consume is not the best whale oil, but it is also a good animal oil, with a yuan bit content of between 8 and 9 per liter. You can basically calculate it as 24 liters a day. 】

"Then the current consumption of Phaethon is."

[24 liters a day, almost 21 days now, which is about 500 liters. Jinyiwei provided a tanker truck with 20000 liters of oil in it. Phaethon's 4 courses of treatment in it were only about 2000 liters. The tanker truck would only consume one-tenth of the stock. Not much actually. 】

"It seems like it's not very expensive?"

[Yes, because we are actually refining oil, not burning it. After use, these oils can be changed hands and exported together, because they are divided according to the purity and turbidity. The clear ones rise and the turbid ones sink. The pure land consumes not the clean air but the turbid air. After it is consumed, the oil is physically twice as clear and turbid, and the upper clear oil can be poured out as high-quality fuel oil. Therefore, on average, Pure Land actually does not cost much money. It’s just that it’s very troublesome for tankers to get in and out of the place. 】

"I'm wondering if it would be better to bring in a crude oil pipeline or set up a base station directly in the oil field."

Pure Land uses crude oil, and the price of crude oil is actually cheaper than water - after all, crude oil is a commodity, and barreled water is calculated as a commodity. But for consumers, if you calculate it based on this price
  "Actually, even if the clean oil is not recycled, it only costs a dozen liters of water per day, which is almost a barrel of water. About seven or eight dollars?"

[A dozen or so, it costs more than a dozen copper coins, but it’s only a matter of one or two coins. All things considered, it's really not much - but acceleration is another story. To accelerate for one day, the bits consumed are calculated as 365 times. ] ˆ ˆ "Hey, of course acceleration must be calculated according to the somatosensory time. Who can stay in there for a year? But it can't just count the fuel cost, there are other comprehensive operating costs."

[Indeed, after all these are added up, the running time we give each person per day is actually about .30 yuan. The current cost is about the same as running the air conditioner for a day. But in twenty-one days, it will cost five to six hundred dollars. Five to six hundred dollars was burned in less than 2 hours, which is actually quite expensive. 】

"Every inch of time is worth an inch of money. It only costs 21 yuan to buy 500 days of time. It's a huge bargain. I think if the oil is released again, it's basically free of charge. Maybe you can still make some money."

【but. ] Apollonia reminded, [This is actually related to the oil we currently use. The oil products provided by Guoxing are quite good, but I am afraid that this kind of high-quality crude oil cannot be supplied in unlimited quantities]

"By the way, is this really high quality?"

[Ah, how do you say this?] Apollonia thought for a while, [Actually, from the perspective of fuel, more yuan bits equals more turbid gas. On the contrary, crude oil of poor quality as fuel is more suitable for supplying yuan here. bits. Like several oil wells drilled in the Middle East. Good guys, they are not black, they are yellow. If they are slightly refined, they can be burned directly with fuel. That one is too clear. It has to be turbid oil. 】

“Then is there more good oil or bad oil in this world?”

[Well, relatively speaking, from another perspective, there are not many oils that meet our standards. If this wave of high-quality crude oil is consumed, the yuan bit per liter may fall from 8 to 4. It may be only five or six thousand, and the bottom line is usually five or six thousand. 】

"Good guy, if it's five or six thousand, the cost will be"

[Yes, gas consumption may increase 10 times. The comprehensive cost may rise from 30 yuan a day to 500 yuan a day. 】

"That's still not that expensive?"

[Hmm] Apollonia thought about it for a while, [Actually, when we discussed fuel consumption before, including the fuel consumption of our entire society, it was not calculated based on a single person. Just like a car burning oil as fuel, a car can carry several people, and a bus can carry dozens of people. Now, the fuel consumption is equivalent to that of a private car, and everyone in the family, from parents, grandparents to several children, all drive their own cars. This situation is different. 】

"Wait a minute, it's cheaper for us to purchase now, so it's actually something we missed, right?"

【Yes. In terms of cost, we have actually eliminated the leakage of the old crude oil system, because the oil in the old system was not valuable. We can also use the old system to transport oil. However, our usage is actually very large, very, very large. Because no one uses a car at home, and they will not drive 8 cars when the 8 members of the family travel, unless the family really likes cars. Considering this kind of consumption, once we start to popularize the "Pure Land", the fuel consumption will probably be unimaginable, which will have an impact on the existing operating system itself. 】
