The Witch's Taste

Chapter 331 Very Good Golden Fleet

On Thursday, everyone left Aegelaos and returned to the Forever starship.

Compared to the last time I left, the starship today has undergone major changes.

The largest space in the center of the ship's interior has been opened up into a commercial area, with more than 2 shops currently operating here.

The left and right wings of the business area are occupied by industrial production areas - most of the materials used in production are recycled and reprocessed from shipboard garbage.

At first glance, it seems that self-sufficiency and self-circulation have been achieved, but in fact there are still many goods that cannot be produced, and the average living standard of residents is far from that of the original Jibei City. It can only be said that compared with the initial "everything" It all depends on rationing”, which has been greatly improved.

"The currency system we are using now is a very complex rationing point system." Standing at the entrance of Starship Bank, Tianshangyuan Hehua explained, "Based on the importance of the work of each position at the social level, everyone can receive To a certain 'rationing point', it serves as the currency of starship society."

"However, what is different from the traditional monetary economy is that when a buyer uses ration points to purchase goods or services, the ration points are not transferred from the buyer to the seller, but are deducted from the bank account."

"The ration points that sellers can get are not obtained directly from buyers, but are distributed by the central bank every day based on the 'importance' of their work itself."

"Rationing points are not allowed to trade with each other and are only allowed to make advances to the central bank. Each batch of rationing points has a time limit and will be cleared if it is not used up and expires. Therefore, there is no concept of deposits. Everyone will generally use the rationing points before expiration. Light."

Chen Ziang didn't know much about finance, but he knew that the system design of this "rationing point" should be based on the empire's contribution point system, which was essentially a relatively advanced planned economy.

In today's starship human society, where the economic system is extremely fragile, adopting a planned economy can be regarded as adapting to local conditions. The problem with planned economies is that they tend to be rigid and rigid.To give the most direct example, the importance of jobs, that is, how many ration points are issued to each type of work, how to measure it specifically?On the other hand, if it is left to the capital economy, the capitalists themselves will handle the optimization and find an optimal solution that is consistent with the market.

"I'm not sure about this. It seems to be determined by the central artificial intelligence carried by the starship." Tianshangyuan Hehua replied, "The ration points for all types of work are changing every day. There is probably a very complex calculation program behind it. Bar."

Chen Ziang thought about it.

The central artificial intelligence carried by the starship, if he remembered correctly, should have been built by Xia Qingyu's team of military information engineers.

In other words, using this imperial-like planned economy should be Xia Qingyu's intention.

Is it to facilitate the integration of starship humans into the empire in the future?
If you can choose one of the two, being able to integrate into the human empire is certainly more suitable than being a facilitator in the fringe star region. After all, the Milky Way is occupied by a federation that is hostile to humans. It is completely different to have the support of Big Brother on the human side and not.

The only problem is that the empire seems unwilling to accept starship humans at present... Originally, they looked down on the quality of the humans from Takamagahara, but now that there are humans from Aegiraos, it seems that the composition of the ethnic group is becoming more and more complex, and it is becoming less and less easy to be accepted. .

After briefly inspecting the commercial and industrial areas, Chen Ziang came to the living area.

The total area of ​​the living area is almost the same as the previous two areas combined. The security force is relatively stronger, and there are military troops stationed around it. If there is any unrest, it can be easily suppressed internally.

As for sporadic weird incidents, the fifth department of the Intelligence Bureau is still responsible. Now it is Lao Lu who has taken over Xia Qingyu's ministerial position.
Lu Yunfeng probably didn't expect that due to the successive promotions of his immediate superiors, he would now be promoted to a minister, and his promotion speed was as fast as a rocket.

"In fact, so far, there have only been two weird attacks on the ship." Lu Yunfeng explained, "The frequency of weird attacks may not be directly proportional to the population. The vast majority of attacks may be related to the victim's preference for death, and such When people are in the final stage of Gao Tianyuan, they will not be inclined to escape to the star port in advance."

"Yes, those who like to seek death are all dead." Chen Ziang sighed, "How are your parents?"

"It's nothing." Lu Yunfeng sighed, "It's good to be alive, right?"

"That's right." Chen Ziang was keenly aware that Lu Yunfeng spoke to him much more politely.For example, in the past, the two of them often joked and joked, but now it is basically impossible.

To quote Brother Xun's words, "I'm afraid there is already a sadly thick barrier between the two of us."

However, this is not incomprehensible. If Chen Ziang were in Lu Yunfeng's position, he would not use his family's treatment to gamble on "whether old friends will care about it." Changing his attitude based on his status is the safest option.

Anyway, as long as he knows that he is nostalgic for his old relationship.

After leaving the living area, Chen Ziang returned to the bridge.

Suzuna Tsukimiya was sitting in front of the display screen, Xia Zili was standing with her back against the wall, and Xia Qingyu was lying on the sofa nearby. The rest of the drivers were also in their respective places, wearing full-cover sound-isolating headphones, working quietly and orderly head job.

"I just went to inspect it." Chen Ziang cleared his throat and said, "The commercial area, industrial area, and living area are almost complete. There may be some industrial chains and employment rates that need to be solved, but it doesn't hurt."

"The only problem is that our ships don't seem to have any space combat capabilities... Is this reasonable?"

"It doesn't matter." Xia Zili replied, "I will take action."

Chen Ziang: ……………

Also, if the Federation fleet appears, just send the witches to sink them all... That's not right!This is wrong!After all, it is a starship force with more than 1000 million people!How can national defense rely entirely on a few witches?
What if you happen to come to visit the aunt together as a group, you will completely break your defense!
"Starship power is a necessary component of starship power." Xia Qingyu suddenly said, "You can't expect the public to understand the great power possessed by the witch."

"That's right." Chen Ziang quickly added, "Defense is actually not the key point. The key point is that we make the masses feel that they are under strict protection! Necessary military parades and demonstrations of strength are also very important."

"But the cost of building ships is too high." Suzuna Tsukimiya interjected, "It will make the industry worse."

It is easy to build a nuclear bomb, but it is difficult to build an aircraft carrier.

"There is nothing we can do if the cost is too high." Chen Ziang pondered for a moment and said, "If the national defense power relies entirely on witches, then what is the meaning of the existence of starship humans? Does it all depend on us to fly?"

"Isn't it?" Tsukimiya Suzuna asked with a frown.

"This is the reason why you were chased around in your previous life." Xia Qingyu said with a sneer.

"Aren't you the reason why I was chased away?" Tsukimiya Suzuna rolled her eyes.

"Sister, it's almost done." Xia Zili said aloud, "Little Suzuna knows some of the truth, but she just doesn't want to hear you point it out. It will make her feel that her dignity has been damaged."

Tsukimiya Suzuna: ……………

Sister tag team, right?Do you think I will be afraid?
Senior, save me!

She cast a look at Chen Ziang asking for help, and Chen Ziang immediately came out to smooth things over:
"Anyway, how should we build our own fleet? Please work together and give us your opinions."

　I may update later this afternoon on my way back to my hometown, depending on whether the traffic is blocking me.
