This Game is Too Real

"This game is too real (

A few small players quickly stood up, fearing that they would be late, looking at these "European Emperors", there was an enviable voice around them.

"I'm jealous!"

"Damn it! Why can't my Quint tavern work!"

"Maybe the manager doesn't? You try to change to Doudizhu next time."

"It's been 2340. How can there be no big birds going around bars? It's not reasonable at all."

It will be snowing tomorrow, but the surroundings will be lively.

At this time, the few players who were in front of the map finally confirmed their position and started to twitter.

"Wow, Teng Teng's hut is next to the resurrection point! Ness!"

"My butcher shop is so close to the granary, so cool."

"Gan! Why is my goblin chemical factory on the outside!" The mosquito looking at the map had a crying expression on his face.

Chu Guang glanced at him, hehe in his heart.

Outermost?

It would be nice if you didn't arrange it outside the wall!

As we all know, the chemical industry is a high-risk industry, especially gunpowder. It doesn't matter if the person is killed. If the next room is blown up, it will be a terrible loss.

Chu Guang would let Luca pay attention to the raw material consumption and daily output of this [Goblin Industry], and control the inventory of dangerous goods within a safe range.

If the outpost is expanded in the future, he will also consider moving it out.

[Aer, I want to go to the toilet cable] and [Ward's athlete who Levin] stared at the map, with confused expressions on their faces.

Neither player has any opinion on the location of the steel workshop. Although the location is close to the south gate, it is close to the main road and the way to the warehouse is also convenient. only. A question mark was drawn with a pencil on the location of their workshop on the map, which made them ignorant.

Brother Suo raised his head and looked at the manager.

"Master Manager, may I ask... what does the question mark on the map mean?"

Brother Levine nodded and asked.

"Yeah, yeah, I didn't understand."

Of course, the question mark means that there are tasks that can be answered.

Unexpectedly, these two little players had forgotten this common sense, Chu Guang cleared his throat and spoke with a serious expression.

"Steel is the top priority for the industrialization of the outpost. Your hard work has triggered the hidden mission. Of course, this mission is optional, and you have the right to choose whether to accept it or not."

Hidden task!

The eyes of the two little players turned into light bulbs in an instant, and the players next to them also cast their envious eyes.

"200 square meters of land, there are hidden tasks!"

"Gan!"

"This is too cool!"

Brother Toilet Suo shook his hands with excitement.

"Master Manager, we are willing!"

Brother Levine nodded vigorously.

"Yes! I am willing too!"

The corners of his mouth curled up with a slight arc, Chu Guang stretched out his hand and handed out a task book that had already been prepared——

Or the contract.

"Look at it first before making a decision."

...

[Task: Industrial Fire (optional)]

[Explanation: In order to stimulate the increase of steel production capacity in the outpost and to improve the efficiency of scrap metal smelting, the chief manager of the refuge gave instructions and is willing to provide a budget of 2,000 silver coins to support the research and development of steelmaking technology.

If it accepts budget support, the steel workshop will be upgraded to a joint steel plant, the refuge will hold 80% of the steel plant and the founder will hold 20%.

The founder only needs to pay 50 silver coins as registered capital to set up a special corporate account to receive budget subsidies.

The funds in the corporate account cannot be withdrawn directly, but can be used to purchase materials from the warehouse, entrust the warehouse to release waste, explore and offer rewards, and can be used to pay the salary expenses of employees with less than 4 people.

If the hourly salary is less than 1 silver coin and the working hours are less than 12 hours, you only need to report and register. If it exceeds, the manager will need to review it.

When the funds in the corporate account are greater than 2,000 silver coins, you can apply for dividends to part of the profits. Within one month, dividends of less than 1,000 silver coins do not need to pay any taxes. The dividends greater than 1,000 and less than 10,000 silver coins are required to pay 4%, and the dividends greater than 10,000 silver coins are required to pay 8%, and the steps are increasing. The specific implementation tax rate will fluctuate according to the policy.

】

【Precautions:

1. Refer to the "Detailed Rules for the Management of Enterprise Accounts" for the use of funds. If there is a phenomenon such as using rules to extract funds, the illegal account will be punished with a minimum fine of 200% and a maximum penalty of permanent repatriation underground.

2. After accepting the task, a series of exclusive tasks and orders will be triggered. The reward types include but are not limited to equipment, money, contribution points, budget subsidies, land and shares. If you give up, you need to meet certain conditions before it can be triggered again.

】

Is it to open a small workshop or a large factory?

If it is in reality, this issue may have to be seriously considered.

However, in the game...

This is a hidden mission!

Although the budget cannot be directly taken from the account, it is still 2000 silver coins! If you exchange 50 silver coins for the right to use 1,000 silver coins, you don't even lose money.

Without hesitating for even a second, Brother Toilet Suo and Brother Levin took over the task without hesitation and happily signed their long list of IDs on the task book.

The main person responsible for registration is [Ward Athlete Who Levine]. After the two negotiated, they each held 11% and 9% of the shares.

"Dear Manager, what is the name of our steel plant?"

Chu Guang is naturally unwilling to do this kind of troublesome thing for him.

"You can decide for yourself."

You can even name it yourself!

The two players' eyes gleamed, and they immediately got together to discuss.

"How about Laiyang Iron and Steel Plant? This name is Niu!"

"Puff, wait until the game is publicly tested and is accused of infringement? Let's change it to Japan!"

"There will be no taste in the future."

"Stop the ink, think of one quickly, don't let the NPC wait!"

"No. 81, this number is auspicious."

"Row!"

In this way, the first steel plant of Refuge No. 404-"Steel Plant No. 81" was formally established.

And Brother Toilet Suo and Brother Levin also unlocked their first exclusive mission-"Customize a suit of armor for the manager's KV-1 exoskeleton!"

The mission requirements are very simple. The total weight of the armor is less than 200 kg, which can protect the wearer from frontal light weapons without affecting maneuverability.

In addition, there are some detailed requirements. For example, the thickness of the breastplate should be greater than 10mm and less than 20mm, and it can be disassembled and replaced after damage.

As for the task reward, it is up to 200 silver coins!

That's 200 silver coins!

After buying equipment, how many people can't even get double digits out of their pockets!

After the news spread, the entire outpost became a sensation in an instant.

"I am giao, is the 200 silver coin reward too high?!"

It was Brother Mosquito who was talking.

After allocating the land, the manager went back to the third floor of the nursing home and sat down, while the players who had been busy for the day squatted to eat on the first floor.

He was quite excited that the changed name of [Goblin Industry] was approved, but compared to the two sand sculpture steel factories, he was a younger brother.

Brother scrambled eggs also looked envious.

"Compared to 200 silver coins, I think the budget of 2000 silver coins is even more outrageous! Life professional players have increased their epic level, but why is it not me who strengthened, Gan!"

Several players from the cattle and horse herd were also nearby, and Ye Shi, who was holding a bowl of croissant potatoes, said with a smile.

"The manager said, there are no prey to slaughter now, so go and dig trenches."

Tomato scrambled eggs: "I'm crying, can I change the business purpose? Can I secretly set up a stove to open a restaurant?"

Kuangfeng: "There is a risk, you still apply for it. It is said that changing the land use will be repossessed and even fined."

Tomato scrambled eggs: "Uuuuu."

Fang Chang, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but interrupted.

“In fact, it’s not as outrageous as you think. Receiving a budget of 2,000 silver coins means a 20% weakening of control. Obviously the planning team has considered the problem of numerical expansion. In other words, even if you make 10,000 silver a month, it belongs to you. The part of the money is only 2,000 silver, and this part of the money still cannot be raised! Dividends need to be deducted first, and it is less than 1,000 silver per person."

WC really has mosquitoes: "But it's still a lot!"

Lao Bai: "The professional combat player cried out in the toilet."

Kuangfeng: "No, there is actually a very interesting mathematical problem, about the yield curve. Under normal circumstances, a new player's liver income is about 300 silver a month. If the steel plant's profit is less than 3000 silver, then The two co-operators are "losing" because they can earn these by doing tasks. And if they can reduce costs by improving production and create more than 3,000 silver, then this task is a profit for them. of."

Ye Shi: "An exclusive mission has a reward of more than 200 silver coins. Is it difficult to earn 3000 silver a month?"

Fang Chang: "It's still a bit difficult. Don't just look in front of you. You have to look farther. Think about it. How many suits can the manager wear?"

WC really had a faint feeling in the eyes of mosquitoes. He just opened a shop in reality and immediately understood.

"Wait, what you said... I seem to understand what you mean."

Like chatting with smart people most, Fang Chang smiled.

"right?"

Ye Shi still looked dazed, seeing that Fang Chang didn't plan to talk anymore, he hurriedly asked.

"What do you mean? I still don't understand!"

Fang Chang explained impatiently.

"Tsk, to be blunt, exclusive orders are actually limited! This game has a concept that many MMORPGs don't have, and that is ‘demand’!

"NPC will not be like a black hole, buying things produced by living players infinitely. Most of the things produced by players need to be sold to other players. That is to say, the benefits of the steel plant are not determined by themselves, but by the consumption power of other players. It's decided! Especially for professional combat players!"

"Then suppose I am a combat player and I have 100 silver coins in my pocket, and I plan to spend 50 silver coins to upgrade weapons and armors, so that professional players in life may earn these 50 silver coins and have to grab business with NPCs. , Do you understand what I said?"

Ye Shi seemed to understand, and said blankly.

"...In other words, how much money a professional life player can earn depends on how much the professional combat player earns from doing missions? Hey, you say that, I seem to understand a little bit..."

Fang Chang: "That's almost what I mean. For example, I am planning to buy a power armor now. Then there will be corresponding demand for the power armor's engines, steel, sensor elements and other equipment. Life professional players want to make this money, First of all, I have to make it affordable. And where does my money come from? Of course I still do quests. The same goes for most players!"

The simple truth is that if a game intends to put a piece of equipment on the store shelf, it will definitely make it affordable for some players.

Either use banknotes to buy some coupons, or take time to get rid of the liver.

So on the whole, the total income of combat professional players will not be lower than that of life professional players, because the latter needs to be consumed by the former.

Even if the value expands, the two will expand together.

For example, if the gene sequence level reaches LV10, what kind of copy of the abandoned refuge will be opened, maybe the reward for clearing the level once is as high as 1,000 or even 10,000 silver coins?

This is not impossible!

Lao Bai asked immediately.

"So the first echelon is still fighting professional players?"

He is in the power department, and naturally this is what he cares most about.

Fang Chang nodded.

"It can be said that at least when combat is the main theme, the'Son of Version' must be born on the front line of the battlefield. The difference is only which genetic sequence! Professional combat players do quests to earn NPC money, and professional players earn fighting players. In this way, the economic chain in the game hopes to form a closed loop, and the value is not easy to expand. There will be no money to buy, and there will be no things that no one buys."

Kuangfeng thought for a long time with his bowl, added.

"It can only be said that the current economic model of the shelter is military-oriented. Maybe the external environment has changed, such as the export system is updated, and the goods can be sold to other survivors' settlements. This theory is not necessarily true."

Fang Chang said in a relaxed tone.

"Yes, so I am talking about the son of the version, not the pro-son of the plan. As for the possibility you mentioned, it is estimated that after many versions, we have not even the threat of the bloodhand clan and the basic survival needs. Solved, the map of Boulder City has not been opened yet."

Gale: "Indeed."

Lao Bai thought for a while, then suddenly spoke.

"But when you say this, doesn't it mean that someday in the future, life professional players will usher in a strong period?"

Fang Chang said with a smile.

"Version rotation is the norm, isn't it normal?"

Lao Bai: "Then do we want to build a steel plant? Hedge the risks? If professional players are not popular one day, you can still make money from the industry."

Fang Chang gave him a sideways look.

"...You can still make steel?"

Old Bai said with a smile.

"I don't know how to make steel, but I can burn bricks and cement! Especially bricks. There are many brick factories in our hometown. I think they run the wheel kiln, and the bricks are placed in the kiln cart. On, the car slid along the track into the stove. The bricks sized at the back just entered, and the bricks fired in the front are already out. Let it cool and you can use it. I heard that it's a bit better, with a daily production capacity of millions of yuan. brick!"

Ye Shi: "...Fuck? So cool?!"

Gale: "The selling price of the red bricks in the refuge warehouse is 100 yuan 1 silver coin, and the purchase price is 4 copper coins. The theoretical income of 1 million bricks per day is 4000~10000 silver? But I think the conditions of the former sentry base and the wasteland are OL It’s not realistic that you want to build a brick factory covering an area of ​​20 acres."

Lao Bai: "Nonsense! Invest in such a brick factory at least 20 million RMB to make a base, not to mention the equipment, how much steel do you think you need to use?"

Fang Chang: “In fact, it doesn’t need to produce one million yuan per day. It can produce 10,000 yuan per day and earn 40-100 silver a day. Calculated according to the daily salary of 10 silver brickworkers, the daily production capacity is more than 1,000 bricks. Earned. If it is less than 1,000 yuan, it is better to go to the manager to apply for a professional low-income subsistence allowance for brickworkers."

Ye Shi: "If you don't understand, just ask, what's the concept of 1,000 bricks?"

Lao Bai: "It's not like two parties."

Ye Shi: "Uh, is it hard to burn?"

Lao Bai: "You use the old black method of Africa to paste a mud kiln and burn it for three days and three nights. You can get four or five square meters, which is more than two thousand yuan. Pick a bigger place and dig a few serious ones. Come out of the brick kiln, and do that kind of half-wheel kiln... Hiss, brother Meng, why don’t we build a brick factory? I think it’s something!"

Fang Chang: "Do you think the base has land for you?"

Lao Bai smiled and said, "Isn't this a try! Anyway, winter is here, and it won't catch prey. Why don't we start this brick factory first, and then there will be bricks for building the guild building?"

The wind stroked his chin and nodded.

"That's also true... if everyone wants to build a house, the demand for bricks will probably be stronger than for equipment."

Fang Chang also recovered his mind at this time, realizing that he had overlooked a very serious problem.

"Wait... Why did I forget this. Wasteland OL is not a traditional MMORPG. Players need more than equipment. In that case, there is a lot of demand for bricks!"

Lao Bai: "You need 128 standard bricks per square meter for a wall of 24. You can count it yourself. (Sorry teeth

Brother Mosquito and Brother Scrambled Egg were listening, and everyone was stupid.

"Fuck, am I joining in!"

"Gan! It's so exciting to hear what you guys say!"

Fang Chang shook his head.

"You both have land, so don't toss with us. Do your own industry well is the kingly way. And you two don't just listen to the old white bragging, by then the daily production capacity will be two to three thousand bricks. I'm all satisfied."

Seeing Fang Chang didn't believe him, Lao Bai didn't worry, and said with a hearty smile.

"Two to three thousand bricks will definitely be more than two or three thousand bricks! When I go back, I will ask my fellow villager how to increase production. Don't worry about the brothers in the group. When the union system comes out in the future, the income of the brick factory is our union's funds! Don't say how much money you make, anyway, there must be brothers' benefits!"

Fang Chang put down the bowl and stood up directly.

"There are so many nights and dreams, the things we can think of are unreasonable. I propose to go online now, and submit the application as soon as possible. Don't be preempted by others! You may be able to trigger the hidden task... Lao Bai, build a small What is the area of ​​the brick factory that I ordered?"

Lao Bai touched his chin and said.

"400 square meters should be enough, a kiln 5*5, almost two meters high...I guess."

Fang Chang nodded.

"Okay, then apply for 400 pings."

Ye Shi: "666, big brother is awesome!"

Gale: "Boss, I got in with you!"

The four little players didn't dare to delay, and didn't even eat dinner, and hurried to the warehouse to buy paper and write an application.

The orders from the warehouse of Refuge No. 404 have clear requirements for brick materials and specifications, which are similar to standard bricks in reality, with a size of 240mm×115mm×53mm.

One standard brick, about 685 yuan.

At present, the brick burning process in the industrial zone has been improved from the original stacked Arhat firing to a sunken kiln that is easier to control the size, has a higher internal temperature, and consumes less fuel.

However, although the temperature of this kind of pit kiln is higher than before, from “one kiln per day” to “one kiln per day”, the output still cannot increase.

Even if the two kilns are started together, the daily output will be between 1,400 and 1,500 bricks, which is almost two squares together.

Even if Chu Guang had made an account before,

The daily salary of a bricklayer is 10 silver, and two shifts are calculated, and the labor expenditure is 20 silver.

The maximum output per day is 1500 bricks, according to the [purchase price] set by the refuge itself, 4 copper per 100 bricks, these bricks are only worth 6 silver.

Even assuming that "these bricks are not in stock", the players will be robbed of them as soon as they are out of the kiln. Based on the [selling price] of 100 bricks and 1 silver, the daily output value is only 15 silver.

Obviously, no matter whether it is 6 or 15, a shelter with a labor cost of as high as 20 is a loss anyway.

And it's still "blood loss"!

It is equivalent to keeping these brickworkers in shelters with money.

Is this reasonable?

From the perspective of the shelter manager, this is obviously unreasonable.

If you want to hire two workers, each with a daily salary of 10 silver coins, the daily output value must be at least 20 silver coins to not lose money.

Calculated here based on the warehouse purchase price, for every 100 bricks, 4 copper and 20 silver correspond to the output of 5000 bricks, which is 2500 for each person.

Otherwise, if you want not to lose money, you can only increase the price of bricks, or cut the income of brick workers.

But if you do this, other problems will arise.

If you increase pricing, too much increase will cause demand to slump. If everyone can't afford bricks and all rebuild wooden houses, the demand for cement will shrink, and the cycle will become unstable.

It is even more unrealistic to reduce the income of brick movers. Burning bricks is not a good job. If you burn bricks for a day without even 10 silver coins, no one will do it.

Even if a lumberjack is planned by a dog to chop twice, rent an axe and keep hitting the tree, he can earn 10 silver coins a day!

Looking at the application form in his hand, Chu Guang just thought about it for less than half a minute, and then made a decision without hesitation.

"Quick!"

The four players of the cattle and horse team showed joyful smiles on their faces.

I was just planning to give it a try, but I didn't expect it to pass!

This is too cool.

More than that, before they were happy for two seconds, the manager's next sentence made them even more excited.

"Your application has triggered a hidden task, do you receive it?"

"If you receive it, you will get a budget of 5,000 silver coins. In exchange, the refuge will hold 80% of the shares in the brick factory."

5000 silver coins! ?

The four little players were blindfolded by the silver coins, and they shouted almost in unison.

"I'll take it!"

"Come on!"

Chu Guang nodded in satisfaction.

"Very well, I will allocate land for you next."

Speaking~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Chu Guang took out a map of the wetland park, stared at the map and thought about it for a long time.

Looking at the contemplative manager, Ye Shi waited a while, and couldn't help whispering to the old Bai next to him.

"Don't you say it will be announced in the evening?"

"What do you care about so much!" Lao Bai glared at him, afraid that the manager would think of it, and said in a low voice, "Isn't it okay to approve in advance?"

Fang Chang: "Yes! You can shut up."

Seeing his teammates staring at him, Ye Shi chuckled.

"I didn't say it badly, I was just a little curious... Besides, isn't there a word? There must be a demon if something goes wrong—"

Before the crow's mouth was finished, it was held together by several hands.

Although Chu Guang heard the whispered exchanges of the players, he did not pay attention to how to use them. He arranged freely in his mind.

Brick mills are different from steelmaking. The latter requires a little bit of exploration and can be temporarily placed in the "urban area" before its production capacity expands. The former does not have a very high technical content, or it does not require technology, but a large amount of fuel and soil.

Therefore, the map that Chu Guang was holding was not an outpost at all, nor did he plan to arrange the brick factory in front of his home.

"The location of the brick factory is about 1km northwest of the base by the river. There are rich clay resources, and the surrounding trees can be used as fuel."

Pointing to a 100X100 grid on the map, Chu Guang looked at the four players, and then said.

"I thought about it. The 400-square-meter layout is still too small to be used. So I plan to grant you all of this 15-acre land."

"Please use it properly."

15 acres? !

The four little players were instantly stunned.

However, although……

This land is not in the industrial zone at all!
