A few little players quickly stood up, for fear that they would be late, looking at these "European Emperors", there was a voice of envy around them.

"Envy!"

"Damn! Why can't my Gwent tavern! ”

"Maybe the manager won't? Next time, you change it to fight the landlord. ”

"It's 2340 years old, how can there be no big bird going around the bar? Not at all reasonable. ”

It's snowing tomorrow and tomorrow, but it's bustling around.

At this time, the few players who were in front of the map finally confirmed their location and followed the chatter.

"Oh oh oh, Fuji Vine's hut is right next to the resurrection point! Ness! ”

"My slaughterhouse is so close to the granary, cool."

"Gan! Why is my goblin chemical plant on the outside! "The mosquito looking at the map has a look of wanting to cry without tears.

Chu Guang glanced at him, and he was hehe.

The outermost?

It's good that I didn't arrange for you to be outside the wall!

As we all know, the chemical industry is a high-risk industry, especially for gunpowder manufacturing. It doesn't matter if the person is killed, it will be a miserable loss to blow up the next room together.

Chu Guang will ask Luca to pay attention to the amount of raw materials used in this [goblin industry], as well as the daily output, to control the stock of dangerous goods within a safe range.

In the future, if the outpost expands, he will also consider relocating it.

[Ya'er I want to go to the toilet] and [Ward Foot Who Levin] stared at the map with confused expressions.

Neither player has any opinion on the location of the steel workshop, although the location is attached to the south gate, but it is close to the main road, and the road to the warehouse is also convenient. Merely. The location of their workshop on the map was marked with a question mark in pencil, which they did not understand.

Brother Toilet looked up at the administrator.

"Administrator, may I ask you...... What does a question mark mean on a map? ”

Brother Levine also nodded and asked.

"yes, yes, I don't understand."

Of course, the question mark has a task to be answered.

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

"Steel is the most important thing in the outpost's industrialization, and your hard-working performance triggers the hidden mission. Of course, this task is optional, and you have the right to choose whether to accept it or not. ”

Hidden Mission!

The eyes of the two little players instantly lit up into light bulbs, and the players next to them also cast envious glances.

"200 square meters of land, and hidden missions!"

"Gan!"

"That's so cool!"

Brother Toilet Suo's hands trembled with excitement.

"Administrator, we do!"

Brother Levine nodded vigorously.

"That's right! I would too! ”

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

Or a contract.

"You take a look before you decide."

……

【Mission: Industrial Fire (Optional)】

[Note: In order to stimulate the increase of the outpost's steel production capacity, and in order to improve the efficiency of scrap metal smelting, the chief manager of the shelter has issued instructions and is willing to spend a budget of 2,000 silver coins to support the research and development of steelmaking technology.]

If budget support is accepted, the steel mill will be upgraded to a joint venture steel plant, and the refuge will hold 80% of the steel plant's shares, with the founder holding 20%.

The founder only needs to pay 50 silver coins as the registered capital to set up a special account for the enterprise 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 issue waste picking, exploration bounties, and can be used to pay for the salary expenses of employees with less than 4 employees.

If the hourly wage is less than 1 silver coin and the working hours are less than 12 hours, you only need to report for registration, and if it is exceeded, it needs to be reviewed by the manager.

When the funds in the corporate account are greater than 2,000 silver coins, you can apply for dividends on part of the profits. There is no need to pay any taxes and fees for dividends below 1,000 silver coins within one month, 4% for dividends greater than 1,000 and less than 10,000 silver coins, and 8% for those more than 10,000 silver coins, with the ladder increasing. The specific implementation tax rate will fluctuate with the policy.

】

【Precautions:

1. For details of the use of funds, please refer to the "Detailed Rules for the Management of Enterprise Accounts", if there is a phenomenon such as using the rules to arbitrage funds, the illegal account will be fined a minimum of 200% and a maximum of permanent repatriation underground.

2. After accepting the mission, a series of exclusive tasks and orders will be triggered, and 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 you can trigger again.

】

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

If it were a reality, this question might have to be seriously considered.

However, in the game......

This is a hidden mission!

Although the budget cannot be withdrawn directly from the account, it is also 2000 silver coins! Exchange 50 silver coins for 1000 silver coins for the right to use it, no matter how you think about it, you won't lose anything.

Without even a second of hesitation, Brother Toilet Suo and Brother Levin accepted the task without hesitation, happily signing their long list of IDs on the mission book.

The main responsible person is registered as [Ward Beriberi Levin], and after the two discussed, they each hold 11% and 9% of the shares.

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

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

"You can decide for yourselves."

You can even name it yourself!

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

"How about Laiyang Iron and Steel Plant? The name is Cow! ”

"Poof, what about being sued for infringement when the game is in public beta? Let's change to another day! ”

"I won't have any flavor in the future."

"Stop inking, hurry up and think of one, don't let the NPCs wait!"

"No. 81, this number is auspicious."

"Okay!"

In this way, the first steel plant of Vault 404, "Steel Plant No. 81", was officially established.

Brother Toilet and Brother Levine have also unlocked their first exclusive mission, "Customize a set of armor for the Administrator's KV-1 exoskeleton!" ”

The mission requirements are simple, with a total armor weight of less than 200 kg, which is able to protect the wearer from small arms fire from the front without compromising mobility.

In addition, there are some detailed requirements, such as the thickness of the cuirass is required to be greater than 10mm, less than 20mm, and can be disassembled and replaced after damage.

As for the quest reward, it's up to 200 credits!

That's 200 credits!

How many people can't even take out the double digits in their pockets after buying equipment!

After the news spread, the entire outpost instantly became a sensation.

"I'm giao, isn't the reward of 200 silver coins too high?!"

It was Brother Mosquito who spoke.

After dividing the land, the administrator went back to the third floor of the sanatorium to sit, and the players who had been busy all day squatted on the first floor to eat.

Originally, after the renaming of the [Goblin Industry] was approved, he was quite excited, but compared to the two sand sculpture steel factories, he was simply a younger brother.

The scrambled egg brother is also envious.

"I think the budget of 2000 silver is even more outrageous than 200 silver! Life Pro Players Epic Enhancement, But Why Isn't It Me Who Strengthened, Gan! ”

Several players from the herd of cattle and horses were also nearby, and Night Ten smiled while holding a bowl of croissants.

"The manager said, there is no prey to slaughter now, you go dig trenches."

Scrambled eggs with tomatoes: "I'm crying, can I change the use of business?" Can I secretly start a stove and open a restaurant? ”

Tempest: "It's risky, you better apply for it, the change of land use is said to be repossessed, and even fines." ”

Scrambled eggs with tomatoes: "Woo woo." ”

Fang Chang, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but interject.

"It's not as outrageous as you might think, receiving a budget of 2,000 silver means 20% less control, and it's clear that the planning team is thinking about the bloat. In other words, even if you earn 10,000 silver a month, your part is only 2,000 silver, and this part of the money still can't be withdrawn! Dividends need to be deducted first, and one person is less than 1,000 silver. ”

WC really has mosquitoes: "But there are still a lot of them!" ”

Lao Bai: "Combat pro players cry and faint in the toilet." ”

Tempest: "No, there's actually an interesting math problem here, about the yield curve. Under normal circumstances, the monthly income of a rookie player is about 300 silver. If the benefit of the steel mill is less than 3,000 silver, then it is a 'loss' for the two co-operators, because they can also earn this by doing ordinary tasks. And if they can reduce costs by improving production and create more than 3,000 silver benefits, then this task is earned for them. ”

Night Ten: "There is a reward of more than 200 silver coins for an exclusive mission, is it difficult to earn 3,000 silver in a month?" ”

Fang Chang: "It's still a little difficult, don't just look at the front, you have to look farther." Think about it, how many sets of armor can the manager wear? ”

WC really has a trace of surprise in the eyes of the mosquito, he is actually opening a store, and he immediately understood.

"Wait, you say that...... I seem to understand what you mean. ”

I like to chat with smart people the most, Fang Chang smiled.

"Really?"

Ye Shi was still confused, and seeing that Fang Chang didn't plan to talk about it, he hurriedly asked.

"What do you mean, what do you mean? I still don't get it! ”

Fang Chang explained impatiently.

"Tsk, to put it bluntly, exclusive orders are actually limited! There is a concept in this game that many MMs don't have, and that is 'demand'!

"NPCs are not like black holes, infinitely buying things produced by living players, and most of the things produced by players need to be sold to other players, which means that the benefits of the steel mill are not actually determined by themselves, but by the spending power of other players! Especially combat pro gamers! ”

"So let's say I'm a combat player with 100 silver coins in my pocket, and I plan to spend 50 silver coins of budget to upgrade weapons and armor, then life professional players can earn these 50 silver coins, and they have to compete with NPCs for business, do you understand what I said?"

Ye Shi seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and said in a daze.

“…… In other words, how much money can be earned by life pro players actually depends on how much combat pro players earn by doing tasks? Hey, I seem to understand a little bit when you say that......"

Fang Chang: "That's pretty much what it means, for example, if I plan to buy a power armor now, then the engine, steel, sensing elements and other equipment of the power armor will have corresponding demand. If a life pro player wants to make this money, I first have to be able to afford it. And where does my money come from? Of course, it's still a task. The same goes for most players! ”

Quite simply, if a game is going to have a piece of equipment on the store shelf, it will definitely be affordable for a certain number of players.

Either buy bonds with banknotes, or take the time to go to 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 things produced by the latter need to be consumed by the former.

Even if the value is to be inflated, both are inflated together.

For example, if the gene sequence level reaches LV10, what kind of copy can be opened to brush the abandoned shelter, and maybe the reward for clearing the level once is as high as 1000 or even 10000 silver coins?

It's not impossible!

Lao Bai immediately asked.

"So the first echelon is still a combat pro player?"

He is a member of the power system, and this is naturally what he cares about the most.

Fang Chang nodded.

"It can be said that at least when the battle is the main theme, the 'Son of the Version' must have been born on the front line of the battlefield, and the difference is only which gene sequence! Combat pro players earn NPC money by doing tasks, and life pro players earn money from combat players, so that the economic chain in the game can hopefully form a closed loop, and the value is not easy to expand. There will be no money and nothing to buy, and there will be nothing to buy. ”

Tempest pondered for a long time with the bowl in his hand and added.

"It can only be said that the current economic model of the shelter is military-oriented, and maybe the external environment has changed, such as the renewal of the export system, and the ability to sell goods to other survivor settlements, this theory is not necessarily true."

Fang Chang said in a relaxed tone.

"Yes, so I'm talking about the son of the version, not the own son of the planner. As for the possibility you mentioned, it is estimated that after many versions, we still haven't even solved the basic survival needs of the threat of the Bloody Hand Clan, and the map of Boulder City has not yet been opened. ”

Tempest: "Indeed. ”

Lao Bai thought for a while, and suddenly spoke.

"But when you say that, doesn't it mean that one day in the future, life professional gamers will usher in a period of strength?"

Fang Chang said with a smile.

"Isn't it normal that version rotation is the norm?"

Lao Bai: "Then should we also build a steel factory?" Hedge your risk? In case one day the combat professional players are not popular, they can also make money from the industry. ”

Fang Chang glanced at him.

“…… Do you also make steel? ”

Lao Bai said with a smile.

"I don't know how to make steel, but I can burn bricks and cement! Especially burning bricks, there are a lot of brick factories in our hometown, I see them do that wheel kiln, the bricks are placed on the kiln car, the car slips along the track to the furnace, the back yard of the brick embryo just enters, the front fired bricks have come out, and they can be used when they are cool. I heard that it is awesome, with a daily production capacity of millions of bricks! ”

Night Ten: "...... it? So cool?! ”

Tempest: "The Red Brick in the Vault Warehouse sells for 100 pieces of 1 silver, and the purchase price is 4 copper coins. The theoretical income of 1 million bricks per day is 4000~10000 silver? However, I don't think it's realistic for you to build a brick factory covering an area of 20 acres due to the conditions of the outpost and the setting of the wasteland OL. ”

Lao Bai: "Nonsense! Invest at least 20 million RMB in such a brick factory to lay the foundation, not to mention those equipment, how much steel do you think you have to use? ”

Fang Chang: "Actually, you don't need to produce millions of dollars per day, you can produce 10,000 yuan per day, and you can earn 40~100 silver a day." According to the daily salary of 10 silver for brickburners, as long as the daily production capacity is greater than 1,000 bricks, some are earned. If it is less than 1,000 yuan, it is better to go to the manager to apply for a brickburner's occupation. ”

Night Ten: "If you don't understand, just ask, what is the concept of 1,000 bricks?" ”

Lao Bai: "It's less than two sides." ”

Night Ten: "Uh, is it hard to burn?" ”

Lao Bai: "You use the method of African Lao Hei to paste a mud kiln, and burn it for three days and three nights, almost four or five squares, almost more than two thousand pieces." Pick a larger place, dig a few serious brick kilns, and build that kind of half-wheel kiln...... Hey, brother Meng, why don't we build a brick factory? I think it's funny! ”

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

Lao Bai smiled and said, "Isn't this a try!" Anyway, winter is coming, and we can't hunt prey, so let's build this brick factory first, and then there will be bricks to build a guild building? ”

Tempest touched his chin and nodded.

"That's right...... If everyone is going to build a house, the demand for bricks will probably be greater than the equipment. ”

Fang Chang also came back to his senses at this time, realizing that he had overlooked a very serious problem.

"Wait...... Why didn't I forget this, wasteland, players need more than just gear. In this way, the demand for rubbing bricks is really a lot! ”

Lao Bai: "The wall of 24 costs 128 standard bricks per square meter, you can calculate it yourself." (bared teeth)"

Brother Mosquito and Brother Scrambled Eggs listened on the sidelines, and everyone was stupid.

"Damn, am I joined!"

"Gan! Listen to what you guys are so kind! ”

Fang Chang shook his head.

"You both have land, don't toss with us, doing your own industry well is the king. And you two don't just listen to Lao Bai bragging there, when the daily production capacity is two or three thousand bricks, I will be satisfied. ”

Seeing that Fang Chang didn't believe himself, Lao Bai was not in a hurry, and said with a hearty smile.

"Two or three thousand bricks are definitely more than that! When I go back, I'll ask my fellow to see how I can increase production. Don't worry, brothers in the group, when the trade union system comes out in the future, the income of the brick factory is the capital of our trade union! Don't talk about how much money you make, anyway, there must be benefits for your brothers! ”

Fang Chang put down the bowl and stood up directly.

"There are many dreams at night, and what we can think of makes no sense for others to think of. I propose to go online now, hurry up and hand in the application first, don't be preempted by others! If you pay it early, you might be able to trigger the hidden mission...... Lao Bai, how much area does it take to build a small brick factory workshop? ”

Lao Bai touched his chin and said.

"400 square meters should be enough, a kiln is 5*5, almost two meters high...... I estimated that. ”

Fang Chang nodded.

"Okay, then apply for 400 square meters."

Night Ten: "666, big brother is awesome!" ”

Tempest: "Big guy, I'm messing with you!" ”

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

The order from the warehouse of Vault 404 has clear requirements for the materials and specifications of the bricks, which are similar to the standard bricks in reality, and the size is 240mm× 115mm×53mm.

One side of the standard bricks, about 685 pieces.

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

However, although the temperature of this pit kiln is higher than before, from "one kiln in three days" to "one kiln in one day", the output still cannot go up.

Even if the two pit kilns start together, the daily output is between 1400~1500 bricks, which is almost two sides.

Chu Guang has calculated an account before,

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

The maximum output per day is 1,500 bricks, and according to the [purchase price] set by the shelter itself, 4 copper per 100 bricks, these bricks are only worth 6 silver.

Even if it is assumed that "these bricks do not enter the inventory", they will be robbed by players as soon as they come out of the kiln, and the daily output value will only be 15 silver according to the [selling price] of 100 bricks and 1 silver.

Obviously, whether it is 6 or 15, the shelter with a labor cost of up to 20 is a loss anyway.

And it's still a "blood loss"!

It is equivalent to the fact that it has always been the shelter that has paid for these brick burners.

Is this reasonable?

From the perspective of a shelter manager, this is clearly unreasonable.

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

Here, according to the warehouse purchase price, every 100 bricks 4 copper, 20 silver corresponds to the output of 5,000 bricks, and it is 2,500 bricks allocated to one person.

Otherwise, if you want not to lose money, you can only raise the price of bricks, or cut the income of bricklayers.

But if you do that, there are other problems.

If you increase pricing, too much will cause demand to stagnate. If everyone can't afford bricks and all the houses are made of wood, the demand for cement will shrink, and the cycle will be unstable.

It is even more unrealistic to cut the income of brick movers, burning bricks is not a good job in the first place, if you burn bricks for a day, you don't even have 10 silver coins, and no one will do it.

Even if the lumberjack is slashed twice by the dog plan, and rents an axe to keep picking up the tree, he can earn 10 silver coins a day!

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

"Accurate!"

The 4 players of the Cow Horse Squad had joyful smiles on their faces.

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

It's also so cool.

Not only that, but before they could be happy for two seconds, the manager's next words made them even more excited.

"Your application triggered the hidden mission, do you want to claim it?"

"If claimed, a budget of 5,000 silver coins will be granted, and in exchange, the Vault will hold 80% of the shares of the brickworks."

5000 credits!?

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

"I'll take it!"

"Pick it up!"

Chu Guang nodded with satisfaction.

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

As he spoke, Chu Guang took out a map of the wetland park and stared at the map for a long time.

Looking at the manager who was deep in thought, Ye Shi, who had been waiting for a while, couldn't help but whisper to Lao Bai next to him.

"Isn't it announced in the evening?"

"What do you care so much about!" Lao Bai glared at him, for fear that the manager would hear and think about it, so he lowered his voice and said, "Isn't it good to approve in advance?" ”

Fang Chang: "That's it!" Shut up. ”

Seeing that his teammates were glaring at him, Ye Shi smiled.

"I didn't say anything bad, I was just a little curious...... Besides, isn't there a saying? If something goes wrong, there must be a demon—"

Before the crow's mouth could finish speaking, it was pressed by several hands.

Although Chu Guang heard the whispered exchanges of the players, he didn't pay attention to it, how to use them, he arranged freely in his heart.

Brick factories are different from steelmaking, the latter requires a little fumbling and can be temporarily placed in the "urban area" before the capacity expands. The former is not too high-tech, or the demand is not technology, but a lot of fuel and soil.

Therefore, the map that Chu Guang was holding in his hand was not an outpost at all, and he did not intend to arrange the brick factory at his doorstep.

"The brickyard is located on the river, about 1km northwest of the site. There is an abundance of 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 continued.

"I thought about it, but the 400-square-meter layout is still too small to be used. That's why I'm going to grant you all of this 15 acres of land. ”

"Please use it properly."

15 acres?!

The four little players were momentarily stunned.

Although but ......

This land is not in an industrial zone at all!
