339 Breaking and Standing (I)

Xiaobai Town, in the Executive Yuan Chamber.

Zhan Xiaobai plans to carry out a major adjustment of the direction of Xiaobai Town's manufacturing industry to improve the manufacturing capacity of Xiaobai Town and even the entire Wuwei County. He has this idea, it has been more than a day or two, but he has not thought about it maturely before, and he can't find time to do it, so he has been delaying.

In the past few days since he returned to Little White Town, he read the manufacturing reports of other large alliances in the top 20 in the whole game, and there was a faint possibility of suppressing the Little White Alliance, which finally prompted him to make up his mind to carry out an industrial change that would have a far-reaching impact on the Little White Alliance.

To complete this change, it is undoubtedly necessary to have a very capable "manipulator" to "operate" concretely. This "manipulator" must have a very high vision, skilled techniques, and a grasp of the overall vision. In the entire Xiaobai Alliance, only the sword lord has the ability to perform this "manipulation". Even if he is himself, he may not be as skilled as Sword Ba.

Therefore, Zhan Xiaobai specially found Jian Ba to discuss the adjustment of Xiaobai Town's manufacturing industry.

The sword lord was shocked when he heard this, and raised the manufacturing capacity of Xiaobai Town, and even the manufacturing capacity of the entire Wuwei County? Does this approach exist?

In fact, almost all the villages and towns in the game are trying their best to boost their manufacturing industry in order to obtain more commercial benefits. Villages and towns with backward production technology will continue to weaken and eventually be eliminated. Especially at the level of large villages and towns, the competition in the manufacturing industry is fierce, and no one will have reservations at all.

In this case, he didn't think that there was any way to greatly increase the manufacturing industry in Xiaobai Town and even Wuwei County out of thin air.

Jian Ba couldn't figure it out, but he trusted Zhan Xiaobai's strategic thinking and farsightedness beyond ordinary people. Since Zhan Xiaobai has made a decision, there must be enough reasons. As long as he can be convinced, he will support him unreservedly.

He immediately asked how.

Zhan Xiaobai said: "Think about it, how did we get the current manufacturing strength of Xiaobai Town?" ”

Jian Ba thought for a moment and said, "Scale." Since the establishment of our Xiaobai Village, we have been relying on the "operation" of small projects and constantly accumulating comprehensive "sexual" advantages. For example, the trade in medicines, weapons, horses, etc., each project is ahead of other villages and towns, so as to establish a leading edge little by little. However, in my opinion, it is the NPC population size that plays a role in determining "sex".

100 small villages, 500 middle villages, 1500 large villages, 5000 small towns, 10,000 medium towns, 20,000 large towns, the population of NPCs at each level varies greatly, and the number of craftsmen naturally varies greatly. One of the most crucial factors in the game is that we have long occupied the number one position in the village rankings, population. When we upgraded to a large village, most of the other villages were small villages and middle villages. In the same way as the production of an item, our output can easily reach several times, or even dozens of times, of others. It is precisely because of the large scale that every subtle advantage can be magnified several times or even dozens of times.

Little White Town is the first village in the game to be upgraded to a big town, and at this time, other villages and towns are almost still at the level of small towns and below. With a population of up to 20,000 NPCs, it leaves other villages and towns behind.

While large-scale profits are brought by huge profits, this profit is immediately transformed into technological advantages, and a large number of drawings for high-grade weapons and equipment are purchased to upgrade the level of our manufacturing industry.

Profit to buy all kinds of drawings, drawings to improve the skills of NPC craftsmen, craftsmen to make higher-grade weapons, equipment, weapons and equipment through the sale of merchants, and profits, profits attract a large number of merchants to come to buy and sell, the more sold, the higher the craftsman's manufacturing proficiency, the better the product, the more production. The manufacturing industry has snowballed.

scale, bringing a high degree of concentration effect. The industrial chain of Xiaobai Town has involved all the high-level villages and towns within a hundred miles of the surrounding area, attracting players and merchants from the entire Wuwei County to come and trade transactions.

On the contrary, some small and medium-sized villages in Wuwei County are not well-equipped because of their small scale, small profits, low purchasing power, insufficient operating rate and low proficiency of NPC craftsmen. The weapons and equipment are not good, it is difficult to sell them to merchants at a high price, and then there is less profit, it is more difficult to have the financial resources to buy drawings, and the weapons and equipment are even more backward. Players and merchants also go to these villages less and less, forming a vicious "sex" cycle.

There are 2,500 villages in Wuwei County, each with a population of 100~5000 NPCs, and the NPC population is as high as 1 million. We only have a population of 20,000 NPCs in Xiaobai Town, and most of them are craftsmen who put into production. However, in the industrial circle of Xiaobai Town, almost one-third of the 'high-end' weapons and equipment in the whole Wuwei County are produced, and even player merchants are accustomed to buying goods from us and selling them from afar. (excluding medium and low grades)

The manufacturing strength of the entire Wuwei County is highly concentrated in the industrial circle of Xiaobai Town. The villages in other areas of Wuwei County have been automatically 'squeezed', and their strength is relatively weak. ”

Jian Ba told all the key factors one by one.

Zhan Xiaobai said: "Well, in the entire Wuwei County, the population of NPCs exceeds 1 million, deducting NPCs such as farmers, lumberjacks, quarrymen, and militiamen. There are no less than 20~300,000 NPC craftsmen in each village who specialize in manufacturing various weapons and equipment, but those who can become high-level craftsmen are afraid that there are less than 50,000. Among them, our Xiaobai Town alone has as many as 10,000 excellent senior craftsman resources. If you want to increase the manufacturing capacity of Xiaobai Town and Wuwei County, you must start from here. ”

Jian Ba was puzzled: "Oh, how do you get started here?" Our 10,000 NPC senior craftsmen have been trained since the 180th year of the game calendar, with 1 student 3, 3 born 9, 9 born 27 ...... It often takes months and a large amount of raw materials to train an NPC senior craftsman, and if the production is insufficient, the proficiency cannot rise quickly, and even half a year may not be able to train an NPC senior craftsman. You can buy anything, but time can't.

In addition, the amount of raw materials consumed to train a craftsman is extremely staggering. The more craftsmen are trained, the more raw materials are consumed. Moreover, we consumed at least one-fifth of the raw materials of the entire Wuwei County to cultivate these 10,000 high-level craftsmen. I'm sure no other player village in the game can surpass the number of our master craftsmen.

What are you going to do? ”

Zhan Xiaobai smiled: "Don't worry, I'll ask you another question." Why is the manufacturing industry in Wuwei County lagging behind as a whole? ”

Jian Ba drank his tea lightly and said with a smile: "This is simple, the problem of the rate of Liangzhou drawings." According to the official setting, Liangzhou is a 'barren' state, whether it is a mission or a monster-killing rate, it is lower than those 'rich' states and counties. Although the specific data is not clear, it is at least about 5~30 percentage points lower than that of some other states. Jiaozhou is the first from the bottom, and our Liangzhou is the second from the bottom. Liangzhou is 30% lower than the Sili area with the highest drawing rate.

What is really lacking in the game is not craftsmen, but blueprints of weapons and equipment. Drawings represent skills and represent the level of manufacturing. The low output rate of Liangzhou is a bit terrifying, which directly leads to the fact that the manufacturing level of our Liangzhou is lower than that of other states. ”

Zhan Xiaobai nodded and said: "Yes, the number of drawings directly affects the level of manufacturing. As far as I know, the most expensive items in the game are the blueprints that allow the craftsman to learn the craft of crafting. The most popular in the market are also drawings. There are two ways to obtain, one is to obtain the task, and the other is to kill the monster.

Tasks are hard to find, so let's talk about killing monsters and exploding blueprints.

The chance of killing monsters and exploding blueprints is very low, but there is a pattern to follow. Only NPC humanoids can be exploded, and the higher the level, the higher the chance. Usually killing the boss is the easiest way to produce a blueprint.

In Wuwei County, the explosion rate of the drawings is evenly distributed among the NPC monsters in various regions. It will not be because our Xiaobai Town is a big town, so there will be more explosions, and it will not be less because other people are small villages.

There are 2,500 villages in the entire Wuwei County, with more than 1 million players, and all the blueprints that have been revealed are obtained by the warriors and players of these villages by killing monsters. The blueprints of the players in Xiaobai Town are not higher than others.

So the blueprints that broke out were evenly distributed in the hands of these 1 million players. On average, every 10,000 players per day can burst out one drawing. Then Wuwei County can produce about 100 copies a day. And there are low-level, intermediate, high-level, all levels and types of drawings. There are few high-level drawings.

After they killed monsters and revealed the blueprints, 40% of the players chose to sell the circulating blueprints publicly in the market, and 60% of the players chose to sell them directly to their own villages. The 40% of the drawings that were sold openly on the market were immediately purchased by the wealthy villages and used by their own craftsmen.

For example, our Little White Chamber of Commerce, the reason why Little White Town has extremely strong manufacturing capacity is that there is an extremely large number of players and merchants in the Little White Chamber of Commerce.

They collected and purchased the drawings from the entire village market in Wuwei County and sold them to Xiaobaizhen at a high price. Accounting for about 5% of the total, we can buy about 5 drawings a day. In this way, in essence, we in Xiaobai Town have obtained 5% of the drawings of Wuwei County, and the other 95% is scattered in the hands of 2,500 large and small villages, with an average of less than 0.038% per village, which is pitiful.

The bigger problem is that just because a small village has obtained a precious blueprint of weapons and equipment, it does not mean that it can be used. ”
