This Game is Too Real

Chapter 209: Second-generation currency and honor

The so-called "silver coins" are not enough, it does not mean 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?

   The "foreign exchange" of Boulder City's bargaining chips, the corporate CR and the Legion's dinars said, "Silver coins" are really just a number to Chu Guang.

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

Of course, in order to prevent hyperinflation, he would still ask Xiaoqi to help make a report to count the production and material consumption of the refuge on a monthly basis, and make a planned budget table to ensure that refuge No. 404 is gradually growing. Organization, can continue to run in an orderly manner.

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

  In the beginning, because there was no minting condition, Chu Guang used 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, and the exclusive currency and logo design have a strong regionality. This kind of coin can only be found in a specific video game city, and this home appliance game city Located outside Qingquan City, in the case of small-scale use, it would be a dream to 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 chips in Boulder City.

   With the craftsmanship on the wasteland, it is definitely not worth it to make a exactly the same thing.

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

   Can’t use “magnetically confined plasma” to cut one out, right?

   That cost is too high!

   Whether it is an inert gas used as a cutting working fluid or a fusion battery used to power equipment, it can be regarded as a non-renewable source on the waste soil, so use 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 permissions 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 and solved some of the 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 now only a few thousand are left!

  Wait until next month, Chu Guang still has to pay the NPCs.

   You can't hit white bars then, right?

   It’s funny that a batch of warehouse fertilizers can’t be paid.

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

   At present, the outpost’s gold reserves are about 500 kilograms, and the silver reserves are relatively high, reaching 4,000 kilograms, which can 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 the army that implements the "gold standard" monetary policy.

The weight of a dinar is 9 grams, and the net content of gold is about 4 to 5 grams. Under the current market, buying a strong non-rapid clone slave requires 1,000 to 2,000 dinars, in other words That is 8-10 kilograms of gold.

   A commander can pay a ransom of 200,000 dinars, which is equivalent to a ton of gold. If calculated according to real-world prices, I am afraid that it will cost hundreds of millions of soft coins!

   Obviously, the gold reserves of the wasteland world before the war are not of the same order of magnitude as the real world gold reserves, at least ten times, or even more than a hundred times, and the per capita reserves are even more incomparable.

   Otherwise, even a commander would not be able to produce a full ton of gold.

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

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

  Enterprises are pure credit currency, using paper currency with high security technology, similar to the mainstream currency systems of countries in the real 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.

   But relative, this also leads to CR's purchasing power and influence, which are always erratic outside the East Coast.

   Even if it is the company’s own caravan, they prefer to barter, and even use the Legion’s dinar rather than the pile of colorful paper.

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

   In fact, no matter which route you refer to, there is no optimal solution, only the choice that best meets the needs of the moment.

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

  The second-generation currency still uses the silver coin setting, but it is no longer a silver coin for selling dog meat, but a silver coin designed and minted by the refuge.

   The weight of the silver coin is tentatively set to 10g, which is cast from 90% silver and 10% copper, and is circulated with banknotes with a face value of 100.

   As for copper coins, circulation will be gradually suspended until they are 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 the 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 more than 1 silver coin while maintaining the resurrection fee.

   As for the prices of industrial products such as weapons and bullets, the prices remain unchanged.

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

   allows more players to consume bullets and higher-quality weapons, which can be regarded as a disguised enhancement.

   At the same time, with the increase in raw materials, the wages of NPCs and the basic income of player tasks will also increase, and the prey hunters can almost double in the new version.

   This can be regarded as balancing 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.

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

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

   Chu Guang didn't expect that the mushrooms that he pressed on the bottom of the warehouse to eat ashes would actually come 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 in a day?"

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

"My lord, in addition to blue umbrella mushrooms, the production of this paper also requires a special nettle. 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 kilograms a day. No problem."

   The old man’s name is Wu Mu, a survivor’s settlement from the central part of the River Valley province. It was the Jiuli and the others who joined in the middle of the journey. They came to the northern outskirts of Qingquan City with the refugees.

  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.

   There are also educational facilities such as libraries, schools, and bookshelves in private houses. 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 recycled parts and equipment from players to create a simple papermaking equipment.

  Using a special alkaline sizing agent and the formula uploaded by the ancestors, the paper made by Wu Mu feels and feels almost the same as the bills that players picked up from the waste soil as toilet paper.

   so that Chu Guang couldn't help wondering what his ancestors did...

   Coughed lightly, Chu Guang said.

   "Five hundred kilograms is enough."

  The weight of a banknote is about 1g.

   After fixing the printing problem, the 500 kilograms of 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 are produced, there is no need to rush to produce the next batch. Before resuming production, I need you to solve a key problem."

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

   looked at this thin thread for a while, and 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 and continued, "Since you know it, then I won't repeat its characteristics. I need you to find a way to embed it into the paper, whether it is weaving. Whether it is pressed 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, 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 give it a try."

   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 turned around and walked outside the house.

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

   "By the way, who else knows the recipe for 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 and how many materials are used, only I One person knows!"

   Chu Guang glanced at him approvingly.

   "Very good, I hope you keep it up."

   "Besides, I don't want to find something exactly like ours in another place. Do you know what I mean?"

   The old man swears nervously.

   "Don't worry, my lord, I promise to rot my secrets in my stomach."

   Chu Guang nodded.

"hope so."

   It is impossible to expect the formula to be kept secret. 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.

   There is also devil silk.

   Together with these two things, even if there is no such awesome watermark anti-counterfeiting technology as "enterprise", it can guarantee that people who make counterfeit banknotes will be unprofitable.

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

   As for the players.

  Of course, it still focuses on more convenient electronic payment.

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

   As for Boss Xia who is about to get a new weapon, there is not much discussion about this.

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

   They already knew what the new weapon was about to be put on the shelves, and the only suspense might be the name of the weapon.

   It was LD-47 last time, what is it this time?

   can't be a hammer.

  ……

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

  Worrying that the teammates on the forum OB could not find a home, Big Eyes in Debt opened a special post and brought everyone Aite in.

"Closing! Today's Death Lotto draw! The result of this draw is 20! It's a pity that I guessed six, which is still too conservative, but it doesn't matter, because no one guessed right, so the result was a draw! A world where no one loses money is reached. (Funny

   Construction Site Boy and Brick: "MMP!"

   Edge paddling: "Hey, brothers, I'm sorry, 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 No. 76 and then mutant.

From then on, as long as he was the captain, everything went wrong, and he often suffered 10,000 tons of injuries, so that some people even teased him. Next time, he would simply wear a gas mask. When he was wearing it, he could COS a Krieg death. corps.

   If this hadn't been planned and targeted, he wouldn't believe it if he was killed.

   Fortunately, his teammates did not blame him.

   Indebtedness and big eyes: "It's okay, seeing you also come down, I feel more balanced in my heart."

  Spring Water Commander: "Fellow the fringe man, you are a man!"

   Drum shampoo: "Hahaha, +1, what a big deal, how can you be immortal in playing games? We have been dead for a few times, and we don’t smile all day long."

   Makabazi: "Gan! What do you mean by a few deaths? I am so planning to target it!"

   Construction Site Boy and Brick: "Brother Guang: Besides? I will dare next time."

  Makabazi: "@#%!"

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

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

   If this can pass, 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 being evacuated.

  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.

   A group of ten captains, such as feathers, beavers, and iron knees, sat opposite him. At this moment, they were afraid to take a breath. They lowered their heads and counted the mud on their 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 we imagined."

   Steel Teeth gritted his teeth, and a word came out from between his teeth.

   "Why do they also have Legion weapons?"

   "There are legion weapons everywhere in the river valley. It’s no surprise. What you should worry about is that they not only have legion weapons, but they also have their own standard weapons."

   Looking at the seized assault rifle in his hand, Kevin, who didn't care about the victory or defeat for the moment, had a color of interest in his eyes.

   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 rifles use a similar design idea, but the number of assault rifles is not too much in the Legion. They are usually issued to elite troops or equipped with submachine guns to be installed on the front line.

   In the Legion, a large number of light infantry who fill the front and attack the enemy's front are mainly long bayonet and bolt-action rifles, and the supporting firepower is mainly provided by one or two machine gunners.

   After all, the life span of a cloned infantryman on the front line is too short~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Let alone sending out automatic rifles, it would be a waste to give an extra pack of bullets.

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

   "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, Gang Nail frowned.

   "Is there any difference?"

   Bone Chewing Tribes can also imitate the legion’s ammunition and weapons. Although they are a bit inefficient, they have a sufficient number of slaves.

   Coupled with the fact that he has taken over the inventory of a large number of legions, and has the support of the Torch Church, he doesn't think it's great to be able to make weapons.

   Waiting for the large forces to go to the front, it is only a matter of time before the ants are crushed!

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

   Kevin nodded, concisely.

   "Yes, and there is a big difference."

   looked out of the truck.

   Looking towards the south, the man with a bulging nose narrowed his eyes slightly.

   "This means that they already have a certain degree of industrial capability, even if only a little."

   "These people are hard to deal with!"
