  Chapter 210 The second generation currency and medal system The   so-called "Silver Coin" is not enough, it is not Said that Chu Guang is short of money.

To make a joke, as a game planner, he changed the value and moved his fingers. How could he be short of money?

"Foreign exchange" such as Boulder's chips, corporate CR and Legion's dinars. In addition, "Silver Coin" this thing is really just a number for Chu Guang.

As long as there is a need, he will post as much as he wants.

Of course, in order to prevent hyperinflation, he still asks Xiaoqi to help make a report to count the production and material consumption of the shelter on a monthly basis, and make a planned budget table to ensure that the number is 404. The Refuge, a growing organization, can continue to operate in an orderly manner.

However, the problem now is that although Silver Coin can be issued at will, the "game currency" previously used as "Silver Coin" is not enough.

In the beginning, because there were no coinage conditions, Chu Guang adopted a method similar to that of Boulder City, using the game currency of a certain appliance to play the city as an equivalent exchange.

This kind of game currency is similar to a bargaining chip. The surface texture and pattern have a certain degree of recognition. The exclusive currency and logo design have a strong regionality. You can only find this in a specific video game city. Coins, and this home appliance playground is located outside Qingquan City. In the case of small-scale use, it would be a dream to just pick it up when picking up waste.

And the most important thing is that this coin has a special design, and has a certain anti-counterfeiting technology just like the bargaining chip in Boulder City.

Based on the craftsmanship on the wasteland, it is definitely not worth it if you want to make an identical one.

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

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

That cost is too high!    Whether it is the inert gas used as a cutting working fluid or the fusion battery used to power the equipment, it is regarded as a non-renewable resource on the waste soil, and it is used a little less.

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

Fortunately, at that time, Chu Guang obtained the B2 level permission of the refuge, and found the VM piled in the warehouse. Through the implementation of the electronic currency of the VM, a part of the currency was recovered from the players’ hands and a part was solved. problem.

However, with the influx of new players and the gradual flow of Silver Coin into the hands of surrounding survivors, his hundreds of thousands of coins have evaporated at the speed of light recently, and only a few thousand are left. That's it!   Wait until next month, Chu Guang will have to pay the NPCs.

When the time comes, you can’t hit a blank bar, right?   Obviously a batch of warehouse fertilizer can't be paid, that would be funny!

Therefore, the issuance of the second-generation currency is imperative!    At present, the outpost’s gold reserves are about 500 kg, and the silver reserves are relatively high, reaching 4,000 kg, which can be used to make some precious metal currencies.

However, the problem is that the precious metals on the wasteland are not a scarce thing, and this can be seen from Legion, which implements a "gold standard" monetary policy.

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

A Thousand-man Commander can pay a ransom of 200,000 dinars, equivalent to one ton of gold. If it is calculated according to the real world price, I am afraid it will be worth hundreds of millions of soft sister coins. !    Obviously, the gold reserves of the wasteland world before the war are not the same order of magnitude as the gold reserves of the real world, at least ten times or even more than a hundred times, and the per capita holdings are even more incomparable.

Otherwise, not even a Thousand-man Commander can produce a full ton of gold.

Therefore, the precious metal standard is very difficult to work on waste soil, and it is the opposite of Earth.

Legion chose to use quantity to solve this problem, relying on quantity to prop up value.

Enterprises are pure credit currencies, using paper currency with high security technology, similar to the mainstream currency systems of the world, and it is convenient to adjust the money supply at any time. The development of the financial industry in Ideal City is also inseparable from the loose monetary policy.

Relatively, this also leads to CR's purchasing power and influence, which are always erratic outside the Eastern Sea shore.

Even the company's own caravans prefer to barter, and even use Legion's dinar instead of the pile of colorful paper.

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

In fact, no matter which route you refer to, there is an impossible optimal solution, and 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 the discussion and exchanges. Under the premise of adopting a credit-based monetary system, a certain scarcity attribute was added to the currency. .

The second-generation currency still uses the setting of Silver Coin, but it is no longer a Silver Coin that sells dog meat, but a Silver Coin designed and minted by the refuge itself.

The weight of the Silver Coin is tentatively 10g, which is made of 90% silver and 10% copper, and is circulated with a face value of 100 banknotes.

As for Copper Coin, circulation will be gradually suspended until it is completely withdrawn from the market.

Old players can pay electronically, but new players and most NPCs can't, neither can the wastelanders and caravans who travel here.

The new version of currency is mainly launched for this group of people!

At the same time, in order to prevent the value of Silver Coin from exceeding the value of the metal itself, Chu Guang plans to actively inflate about 50% within the two versions.

The specific plan is to increase the purchase and sale prices of other raw materials such as agricultural products, game, garbage and other raw materials in NPC shops, and increase the smallest transaction unit to above 1 Silver Coin while maintaining the resurrection fee.

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

Since the establishment of the new industrial zone, the cost of industrial products has dropped significantly, just to offset some of the impact of inflation.

To allow more players to consume bullets and better weapons, this can be considered a disguised enhancement.

At the same time, with the increase of raw materials, the wages of NPCs and the basic income of player tasks will follow as the tide rises, the boat floats. The prey caught by hunters can almost double in the new version. Times.

This can be considered to balance the income gap between different gameplays and occupations.

……

New industrial zone.

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

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

Production operations are in full swing.

A batch of products have been produced in the wooden box next to it.

Under natural conditions, these papers have the color of linen gray, and will be slightly bluish when exposed to light. The main reason for this is that the powder of blue umbrella mushrooms ground after drying is added to the pulp.

Chu Guang also didn't expect that the mushrooms that he pressed on the bottom of the warehouse to eat ashes actually 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 towards the old man standing aside.

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

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

"My lord, in addition to blue umbrella mushrooms, a special kind of nettle is needed to produce this paper. Although this is not a rare thing, it is difficult to find in winter. If the raw material is adequately supplied , We can produce about 500kg a day."

The old man’s name is Wu Mu, a survivor colony from the central part of the River Valley Province. It is the Jiuli and the others who joined in the middle of the journey. They came with the refugee team. The northern suburbs of Qingquan City.

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

The profession of a papermaker is quite rare in wasteland, after all, paper is not a rare thing at all.

Even if cash accounts for less than 1% of transactions in the Renlian era, the remaining banknotes are still a huge astronomical figure.

The survivors on the wasteland have burned for more than two hundred years, but there is still a lot of them left unburned.

apart from this There are also educational facilities such as libraries, schools, and bookshelves in private houses, etc. Those acid-free papers made of synthetic fibers are like plastic and can be stored for a long time.

Some survivors will use banknotes from the pre-war society to make paper shell bullets, or break paper into fibers, instead of cotton as the inner 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.

And this old man named Wu Mu did not disappoint Chu Guang.

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

Through the special alkaline sizing agent and the formula uploaded by the ancestor, the paper made by Wu Mu feels and feels almost the same as the banknotes that players picked up from the waste soil as toilet paper.

So Chu Guang couldn't help but wonder what his ancestors did...

Coughing lightly, Chu Guang said.

"Five hundred kg is enough."

The weight of a banknote is about 1g.

After fixing the printing problem, this 500kg paper is enough for him to issue 500,000 banknotes!   Chu Guang paused and continued.

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

p>

As he said, Chu Guang took out a thread thinner than a hair from his pocket and placed it on Wu Mu's hand.

After looking at this thin line for a while, the expression on the old man's face instantly appeared astonished.

"Is this...devil silk?!"

This thing is much rarer than blue umbrella mushrooms!

"Yes," Chu Guang nodded continued, "Since you know it, then I won't repeat its characteristics. I need you to find a way to embed it in the paper, regardless of Whether it is weaving or pressing directly during papermaking, there is only one requirement, and that is to be able to reflect part of the characteristics of the devil silk on the paper. I will just say it straight, this is mainly used for anti-counterfeiting. "

A touch of embarrassment appeared on Wu Mu's face.

After a moment of hesitation, he said rigorously.

"My lord, I haven't tried this kind of thing...I can't guarantee you that I can do it, I can only say try it."

Chu Guang said .

"Well, you first try all the methods you can think of. If you really can't solve it, I will think of other methods."

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

But when Chu Guang walked to the door, he suddenly remembered something, so he stopped and looked back towards the old man.

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

The old man said immediately.

"The proportions of the various components of the pulp and the key additives are all personally added by me. In addition to the detailed proportions written in the formula in your hand, what materials are used, Only I know how much materials are used!"

Chu Guang glanced at him approvingly.

"Very good, I hope you continue to keep it."

"In addition, I don't want to see man-made paper that looks exactly like us in other places. You understand mine. Do you mean it?"

The old man swears nervously.

"Don't worry, my lord, I promise to rot my secrets 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 possible to find out after a little research.

At most, blue umbrella mushrooms have a certain scarcity of resources. The technology of the post-war era cannot be artificially synthesized or cultivated. In Boulder City, it is even sold at a price, and the price is not cheap.

And the devil silk.

In addition to these two distinct things, even if there is no such awesome watermark anti-counterfeiting technology as "enterprise", it can guarantee that the counterfeit banknote maker will be unprofitable.

Whether it is banknotes or coins, they are mainly prepared for NPCs.

As for the players.

Of course, more convenient electronic payment is the main focus.

The topics on the forum are mainly focused on the upcoming Alpha1.0 version and the launch of the medal system.

As for Xia Boss's upcoming new weapon, this is not much discussed.

After all, the barrels and receivers are made by the No. 81 Steel Plant. The directors of these two plants are filling the forum every day, and they communicate with some netizens who are more tortured than mosquitoes on the production process of seamless steel pipes. .

They already know what the new weapon is about to be put on the shelves. The only suspense is probably the name of the weapon.

It was LD-47 last time, what is it this time? It   can't be a hammer.

……

In addition to the Zhenger Bajing discussion posts, there are also people who ridicule the marginal paddle man.

Worried that the teammates who went to the forum OB could not find a home, Big Eyes in Debt opened a special post and brought everyone Aite in.

"Close! Today's Death Lotto draw! The result of this draw is 20! It's a pity that I guessed it was six, and it was still the Grand Guardian guarding it, but it doesn't matter, because there is no one. Guessed right, so the result was a tie! No one lost money in the world reached. (funny)"

Macabazi: "hahaha, the black car of death is a real hammer! No, MMP, I am also dead!"

Debt and big eyes: "It's okay, I'll tú tú finished for you. (Funny)"

Construction site boy and brick: "MMP!"

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

When I typed this line, the edge of the stroke really cracked.

The first time he led the team was an encounter with the mutants on 76th Street.

From then on, as long as he was Captain, everything went wrong, and he often suffered 10,000 tons of injuries, so that some people even teased him, next time he just wears a gas mask, You can COS the Krieger Death Corps.

If this was not planned, he would not believe it if he was killed.

Fortunately, his teammates did not blame him.

Big eyes in debt: "It's okay, I see you also come down, I feel more balanced in my heart."

Spring Water Commander: "Fellow the fringe man, I’m a guy. !"

Drum shampoo: "hahaha, +1, what a big deal, how can I be immortal playing games? We have been dead for a few times, so we don’t laugh all day long. "

Makabazi: "Gan! What do you mean by death a few times, I'm special, it was planned and targeted!"

Construction site boy and brick: "Guangge: talk about it? I will dare next time."

Makabazi: "@#%!"

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

Regardless of what the mysterious gift Xiaoyu said, this is an opportunity to design game currency!

If this is passed, won’t it be in the Hall of Fame? In the   future, all players on the server will use their own designed currency, which is awesome when you think about it!   ……

On the road leading to the south of Tianshui City, a hundred-man troop is evacuating.

Because of the rush of coming and going, everyone looked tired and sat listlessly in the truck.

The man who was also sitting in the truck with only a bunch of hair on his head had a heavy face.

Opposite him sat a group of ten captains including feathers, beavers, and iron knees, all trembling with fear at the moment, not daring to take a breath, lowered their heads and counted the mud on the boots.

Kevin, who was sitting next to Gangtooth, comforted him.

"At least we wiped out their elite team, but the situation is not as bad as imagined."

Gang Teeth gritted his teeth and squeezed a word out of his teeth.

"Why do they have Legion weapons?"

"Legion weapons are everywhere in the valley. It’s no surprise. What you should worry about is that they are not just He has Legion weapons, and he also has his own standard weapons."

Looking at the captured assault rifle in his hand, Kevin, who didn’t take the momentous victory seriously, was very interested in his eyes. Colors.

The design of this rifle is very clever.

Especially the receiver structure is very simple, even retro.

However, it is unexpectedly durable.

The Legion's assault rifle adopts a similar design idea, but the number of assault rifles is not too much in Legion. They are usually issued to elite troops, or equipped with submachine guns to line up the front line tenmen.

In Legion, a large number of light infantry who fill the front and attack the enemy are mainly long bayonet and bolted rifle, and the supporting firepower is mainly provided by one or two machine gunners.

After all, the lifespan of a cloned infantryman on the front line is really too short, let alone sending out an automatic rifle, giving an extra pack of bullets is a waste.

With that capacity, it is better to send two more shells to the artillery positions.

"By stamping and forging the receiver, you can stamp and make a cartridge case...This thing is much more powerful than an iron barrel rifle."

Hearing Kevin's words, Steel Nail frowned.

"Is there any difference?"

The Bonechewer Tribe can also imitate Legion's ammunition and weapons. Although it is a bit inefficient, they have a sufficient number of slaves.

In addition to taking over a large amount of Legion’s inventory and the support of the Torch Church, he doesn’t think it’s great to be able to make weapons.

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

However, since this was what the staff officer said, Gangfang took it seriously.

Kevin nodded, concise and thorough.

"Yes, and there is a big difference."

He looked towards the outside 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 degree of industrial ability, even if only a little."

"These people, it's hard to deal with!"
