The so-called "silver coins" are not enough, not that Chu Guang is short of money.

As a joke, as a game planner, he can move his fingers when he changes the value, how can he be short of money?

The chips of Boulder City, the CR of the enterprise, and the dinar of the legion are the "foreign exchange" of another thing, and the "silver coin" is really just a number to Chu Guang.

As long as he wants, he can send as much as he wants.

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

However, the problem now is that although silver coins can be issued at will, there is not enough "game currency" that was previously used as "silver coins".

At first, because there were no coinage conditions, Chu Guang used a similar method to Boulder City, using the game currency of a certain video game city as an equivalent exchange.

This kind of game currency is similar to chips, the surface texture and pattern have a certain degree of recognition, the exclusive currency and logo design have a strong regionality, only in a specific video game city can find this kind of coin, and this game city is located outside Qingquan City, in the case of small-scale use, it is equivalent to a dream to pick it up when picking up waste.

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

With the craftsmanship on the wasteland, it is definitely not worth it to make an identical one, not to mention whether it can be done.

However, the disadvantage of this currency is also obvious, and the fact that it cannot be reproduced means that it cannot be issued at will.

You can't cut one out of "magnetic confinement plasma", right?

That's too costly!

Whether it's an inert gas used as a cutting fluid or a fusion battery to power a device, it's a non-renewable source on wasteland, and a little less is used.

If you run out, only God knows when you'll be able to get it again.

But fortunately, at that time, Chu Guang obtained the B2 layer of the refuge, found the VM piled up in the warehouse, and implemented the electronic currency through the VM, recovered part of the currency from the players, and solved part of the problem.

However, with the influx of new players and the gradual flow of silver coins into the hands of the surrounding survivors, his hundreds of thousands of coins have recently evaporated at almost the speed of light, and there are only a few thousand left!

Wait until next month, Chu Guang will have to pay the NPCs.

You can't make a blank slip when the time comes, right?

Obviously, a batch of fat in the warehouse can't be paid, so it's funny!

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

At present, the outpost has gold reserves of about 500 kilograms, and silver reserves are relatively high, reaching 4,000 kilograms, which can be used to make some precious metal currency.

The problem, however, is that precious metals in the wasteland are not scarce, and this can be seen from the legions that pursued the "gold standard" monetary policy.

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

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

Obviously, the gold reserves of the pre-war society in the wasteland world are not of the same order of magnitude as the gold reserves in the real world, at least ten times, or even more than a hundred times, and the per capita holdings cannot be compared.

Otherwise, not a single commander would be able to come up with a full ton of gold.

Therefore, the precious metal standard is not feasible on the wasteland, and it is the opposite of the reason on Earth.

Legions have chosen to solve this problem with numbers, relying on numbers to support value.

Enterprises are pure credit money, using highly anti-counterfeiting technology banknotes, similar to the mainstream monetary systems of countries around the world, convenient to adjust the money supply at any time. The reason why the financial industry in Ideal City is developed is also inseparable from the loose monetary policy.

However, this also leads to the fact that the purchasing power and influence of the CR are always fluctuating outside of the East Coast.

Even the company's own caravans preferred barter, and even preferred the Legion's Dinar to the pile of fancy paper.

After all, gold is still useful in their industrial system, but the supply is slightly larger and therefore less valuable.

In fact, no matter which route is referenced, there is no optimal solution, only the one that best meets the needs of the moment.

After some trade-offs, Chu Guang synthesized some of the ideas put forward by the young players on the forum during the discussion and exchange, and attached a certain scarcity attribute to the currency under the premise of adopting a credit-based monetary system.

The second-generation currency still uses the same silver coin setting, but instead of selling dog meat on the head of a sheep, it is a silver coin designed and minted by the Vault itself.

The coin is tentatively weighted at 10g and is minted from 90% silver and 10% copper, with a 100 face value banknote in circulation.

As for copper coins, they will be gradually suspended from circulation until they are completely withdrawn from the market.

Veteran players can pay electronically, but not new players and most NPCs, as well as wastelanders and caravans traveling to and from the area.

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

At the same time, in order to prevent the value of the silver coin from seriously exceeding the value of the metal itself, Chu Guang planned to actively inflate about 50% within two versions.

The specific plan is to increase the purchase and sale price of NPC stores for other raw materials such as agricultural products, prey, and garbage, while keeping the resurrection fee unchanged, and increase the minimum trading unit to more than 1 silver coin.

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

Since the establishment of the new industrial zone, the cost of industrial goods has fallen significantly, which is just enough to hedge some of the impact of inflation.

Allowing more players to spend bullets and better quality weapons is also a disguised enhancement.

At the same time, as raw materials rise, NPCs' wages and the base income of player quests will also rise, and the amount of prey caught by hunters will almost triple in the new version.

This is also a way to balance the income gap between different playstyles and classes.

……

New Industrial Zone.

In a corner of the discarded tire factory, in a brick house next to the guard post, a large pile of scrap parts is displayed, some of which have been assembled into usable machines.

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

Production operations are in full swing.

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

These papers are linen grey in colour under natural conditions, with a slight bluish tinge when exposed to light. The reason for this is mainly because the pulp is added to the pulp to make the powder made by the blue umbrella mushroom after drying.

Chu Guang didn't expect that the mushrooms that he pressed to eat ashes at the bottom of the warehouse box 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, and 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 inquiry, the old man replied respectfully.

"My lord, in addition to the blue umbrella mushroom, the production of this paper requires a special kind of nettle. While this isn't something unusual, it's hard to find in winter. If the supply of raw materials is sufficient, we can produce about 500 kg a day without any problem. ”

The old man's name was Wu Mu, and he was from the survivor settlement in the central part of the river valley province, and he was the northern suburb of Qingquan City, who joined Jiuli and them halfway through, and came with the team of displaced people.

Before becoming a homeless, he worked as a papermaker and made a living from it.

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

Even though cash accounted for less than 1% of transactions in the era of the People's Union, the legacy of banknotes is still an astronomical amount.

The survivors of the wasteland, after more than two hundred years of burning, there is still a lot left to burn.

In addition, there are educational facilities such as libraries and schools, as well as bookshelves in private homes. Those acid-free papers made from synthetic fibers are like plastic and can last for a long, long time.

Some survivors would use the banknotes of pre-war societies to make paper shells, or shred paper into fibers instead of cotton to make clothes or bedding.

When Jiu Li heard that Chu Guang needed a papermaker, he immediately recommended this 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 built a simple paper-making machine using the parts and equipment recovered from the players.

Through a special alkaline sizing agent and a recipe handed down from our ancestors, the paper made by Wu Mu feels like a dime of a banknote that players pick up from the wasteland to use as toilet paper.

So much so that Chu Guang couldn't help but wonder what his ancestor was doing......

Coughing lightly, Chu Guang said.

"Five hundred kilograms is enough."

The weight of a banknote is about 1g.

After that, the printing problem was solved, and the 500 kilograms of paper were enough for him to issue 500,000 banknotes!

Chu Guang paused and continued.

"I will find someone to solve the problem of raw materials, and after this batch of products is produced, there is no need to rush to produce the next batch. Before we get back to production, I need you to address a key issue. ”

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

After studying the thin line for a while, the expression on the old man's face instantly appeared with surprise.

"Is this ...... Devil's Silk?! ”

This thing is much rarer than the blue umbrella mushroom!

"Yes," Chu Guang nodded, and continued, "Since you know each other, then I won't go into too much detail about its characteristics. I need you to find a way to implant it into the paper, whether it is woven or pressed directly into the paper, and there is only one requirement, that is, to be able to embody some of the characteristics of devil silk on the paper. I'll just say it, this is mainly used for anti-counterfeiting. ”

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

After a moment of hesitation, he said sternly.

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

Chu Guang said.

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

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

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

"By the way, who knows the recipe for these papers but you?"

The old man said immediately.

"I personally added the proportions of each component of the pulp and the key additives. In addition to the detailed ratio written in the recipe in your hand, only I know what materials are used and how much materials are used! ”

Chu Guang glanced at him approvingly.

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

"Besides, I don't want somebody somewhere else to make something exactly like us, you know what I mean?"

The old man swore with a nervous expression.

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

Chu Guang nodded.

"I hope so."

It's impossible to expect the recipe to be completely secret, there is no technical threshold for this thing, and it is likely to be discovered after a little research.

At most, there is a certain scarcity of resources in the blue umbrella mushroom, and the technology of the post-war era can neither be synthesized artificially nor cultivated artificially, and it is even sold in Boulder City, and the price is not cheap.

And devil's silk.

With the addition of these two things, even if there is no watermark anti-counterfeiting technology as awesome as the "enterprise", it is guaranteed to make the person who makes counterfeit banknotes unprofitable.

Whether it's banknotes or coins, they're mainly for NPCs.

As for the players.

Of course, it is still more convenient electronic payment.

Night Ten: "Dawn: Oh, you found out that I secretly ordered food." (Funny)"

The main topic of discussion on the forum is the upcoming alpha 1.0 version and the introduction of the medal system.

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

After all, both the barrel and the receiver were made by the No. 81 steel plant, and the two factory directors poured water on the forum every day, exchanging the production process of seamless steel pipes with some netizens who were worse than mosquitoes.

They already know what the new weapon will be on the shelves, and the only suspense is probably the name of the weapon.

Last time it was LD-47, what is it this time?

It can't be a hammer.

……

In addition to the serious discussion posts, there are also ridiculed for the edge paddling dude.

Worried that the teammates who went to the forum ob couldn't find a home, the debt-ridden big eye opened a special post and brought everyone in.

"Close the close! Today's Death Lotto Draw! The result of this draw is twenty! It's a pity that I guessed six, and sure enough, it was still too conservative, but it didn't matter, because no one guessed right, so it ended in a draw! No one loses money to achieve a world. (Funny)"

Makabazi: "Hahaha, the death black car is really hammered!" No, MMP, I'm dead too! ”

The construction site boy and the brick: "Gan! Lao Tzu is sweeping with a machine gun, why are people gone! I haven't finished the free bullets sent by the mission! (Angry)"

Responsible for Big Eyes: "It's okay, I'll finish it for you." (Funny)"

Construction site boy with bricks: "MMP! ”

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

When typing this line, the edge stroke is really cracked.

The first time he led the team was an encounter with 76 and then mutants.

From that moment on, as long as he was the captain, everything went wrong, and he often suffered 10,000 tons of damage, so much so that some people even teased him that next time he simply brought a gas mask, and when he brought it, he could cosplay the Krieg Death Corps.

If this hadn't been targeted, he wouldn't have believed it.

Fortunately, his teammates didn't complain about him.

Debt-ridden eyes: "It's okay, seeing that you have also come down, my heart is much more balanced." ”

Commander of the Spring: "Touch the edge dude, it's a man!" ”

Roller shampoo: "Hahaha, +1, what's the matter, how can you not die when you play games?" We've been dead a few times, and we don't smile all day long. ”

Makabazi: "Gan! What do you mean to die a few times, I'm so planned to be targeted! ”

The construction site boy and the brick: "Brother Guang: Say it again?" I'll dare next time. ”

Makabazi: "@#%! ”

The little players of the ob are still flooding the forum, and the smart little players are already drawing.

Regardless of what the mysterious gift is that Xiao Yu said, this is an opportunity to design in-game currency!

If this can be passed, it will not be allowed to enter the Hall of Fame?

In the future, all players on the server will use their own designed currency, which is awesome to think about!

……

On the road leading to the southern part of Tianshui City, a force of 100 people is evacuating.

Because of the hurry in which they came, they also walked in such a hurry that everyone looked tired and sat listlessly in the truck.

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

Opposite him sat a group of ten captains such as Yu, Beaver, and Iron Knees, all of whom were trembling and did not dare to take a breath, and lowered their heads to count the mud on their boots.

Kevin, who was sitting next to Steel Fang, comforted him.

"At least we've annihilated one of their elites, and it's not as bad as we thought."

Steel Fang gritted his teeth and held back a sentence from between his teeth.

"Why do they also have Legion's weapons?"

"It's no surprise that the province of the Valley is littered with Legion weapons. What you should be more worried about is that they not only have Legion weapons, but also have their own standard weapons. ”

Looking at the captured assault rifle in his hand, Kevin, who did not care about the momentary victory or defeat, had an interest in his eyes.

The design of this rifle is very ingenious.

In particular, the structure of the receiver is unusually simple, even retro.

However, it is surprisingly durable.

The Legion's assault rifles are designed with a similar idea, but the number of assault rifles in the Legion is not too large, and they are usually issued to elite troops, or they are equipped with submachine guns to be equipped with front-line ten.

In the corps, a large number of light infantry to fill the line and attack the enemy's position were mainly long bayonets and bolt-action rifles, and the supporting fire was mainly provided by one or two machine gunners.

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

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

"Stamping and forging the casing can be stamped to make shells...... This thing is much more powerful than an iron pipe rifle. ”

Hearing Kevin's words, the steel nail frowned.

"Does it make a difference?"

The Bone Chewers can also copy the Legion's ammo and weapons, and although they are a little less efficient, they have a sufficient number of slaves.

Coupled with the fact that he had taken over a large inventory of the Legion and the support of the Torch Church, he didn't think it was a big deal to be able to craft weapons.

When the big army goes to the front, it's only a matter of time before those ants are crushed!

However, this was what the staff officer said, and Steel Tooth took it seriously.

Kevin nodded, succinctly.

"Yes, and there's a big difference."

His eyes looked out of the truck.

Looking in the direction of the south, the man with the bulging nose narrowed his eyes slightly.

"This means that they already have a certain amount of industrial capacity, even if it's just a little bit."

"These people are not easy to deal with!"
