Chapter 47: The Sylvia Network
In the town of Lisenburg, Wang Shui's new granary was completed last week and has met storage requirements.
This place is close enough to the railway station, and a lot of money was spent on the land, and the completion of the warehouse directly spent the savings of Wang Shui.
The good news on the financial side is that the cost of production is very low, and only enough water and fertilizer are needed to produce a very considerable amount of grain. The granary here was just fully prepared, and aqua regia was loaded with 10 tons of wheat in a week.
Now, Wang Shui is underneath his house, crossing the neat and wide corridor.
The corridor is five meters high and ten meters wide, the top is 20 meters above the ground, the walls are smooth stones, and the feet are asphalt.
On both sides of the road are planting areas, central control areas and temporary warehouses, and there are more than a dozen warehouses of three kinds, which store grain, compressed straw and special fertilizers.
The effective underground planting area is only 1,000 square meters, which sounds huge, but it is actually only 1.5 acres of land.
Wheat seed is simple breeding with fast growth of aqua regia, no need to resist insects, disease and lodging, as long as the yield is high, he is now breeding [fast growth No. 11] wheat, the yield per mu is stable at more than 300 kg.
Wang Shui walked to the central control room and checked the report data in the [array machine], this is not a computer, just a simple alchemy array microcontroller, the embedded program in it only has work-related functions, and the structure is very simple.
The data in the report is quite stable, and the ripening time of a crop of wheat has been relaxed to 20 hours, which can be guaranteed to be harvested every 23 hours if the relatively cumbersome automatic harvesting and storage process is counted, so that the energy consumption will be reduced to the standard that the leylines and crust in the region can be restored in real time.
Because of the use of intensive soilless cultivation, the bottom of the culture tank is flowing water and fertilizer, so the water regia planted the wheat into two layers, and the effective planting area was directly doubled to 3 acres, so under normal conditions, this grain factory can produce 0.9 tons of wheat per day.
Looks like a lot? It's actually far from it.
Rough calculation can be analyzed, the annual standard output can basically be maintained to 300 tons, and the small warehouse newly built by Wang Shui, the standard stock is 6,000 tons.
The country of Amestolis has a population of more than 50 million, according to the demand for food and clothing staple food 0.1 tons per person per year, it will cost 5 million tons of wheat, according to the survey of the regia water, this country not only has a large number of people lack staple food, even in relatively rich places, will be more inclined to eat meat, eggs, milk and some vegetables, the production of staple food is seriously insufficient.
Wheat, rice, corn, soybeans, potatoes, sweet potatoes.
The comprehensive output of these staple grains in a general sense may not even be 70% of the subsistence line, that is, about 3.5 million tons.
If Wang Shui wants to monopolize the staple grain market, supply the army, secondary processing and even export, he needs at least 10 million tons of annual output, and he only has 300 now, which is several orders of magnitude worse.
Of course, this is only a three-acre planting area, and aqua regia still has the advantage of multi-layer planting, and expanding the planting area is very simple and inevitable.
His current problem is lack of money, but he doesn't want to use agriculture directly for financing, so he plans to play some simple tricks.
On the center console, Aqua Kings switches the production mode to [Load 5], and the space in the planting area will be stacked to the upper 4 floors.
The growth time will also be compressed to 4 hours, and the plant will temporarily produce at 10 times the efficiency, but the safety limit is one month, after which the factory and the dragon vein will have to rest for at least a month.
Shui Wang needed the 270 tons of wheat, and he urgently needed the first pot of gold.
After setting up the production task, Wang Shui inserted a crystal coin engraved with an alchemy array into the center console, and then went directly up to the camouflaged underground floor, while the refining array in the grain factory was still working.
That's right, this is the long-range refining effect of alchemy, but there is a limit to this distance, and in order to break through this limit, Wang Shui developed the crystal coin that was inserted into the center console just now.
"The signal here is good, [Lisenburg No. 1 Warehouse Station] everything is normal, this mechanical body is really awkward, I'll be back first."
Sylvia's voice echoed in Wang Shui's mind, and without any feeling, Sylvia's consciousness returned to Wang Shui's body, and Wang Shui could also perceive the warehouse area ten kilometers away, and he could perceive the simple mechanical body he made for Sylvia, specifically the same crystal coin in the robot's body.
"This simple network is easier to use than I imagined, as long as I continue to increase the size and power of the [relay signal station], I can use alchemy farther away."
Aqua regia sensed that Sylvia was checking the mental synchrony between them.
"I just felt a new device activated, it seems to be a machine, a new toy for me?"
After Sylvia got used to the state of the soul, she was very interested in all kinds of new bodies.
"No, that's the center console of the [Lisenburg No. 1 Grain Factory] under our feet, and I plan to build a relay station here as well, and then expand the new grain factory into the wilderness to the west."
"Hmm—you don't have much money right now, do you?"
"Next month, I made an appointment with the grain merchant to come over, and we sold all the inventory, plus the 270 tons of emergency production, a total of about 400 tons, and the group of profiteers only quoted a unit price of 550 yuan after looking at the sample, and conservatively estimated that the starting capital of 220,000 yuan is enough to make leverage."
"What do you want?"
"It's nothing, I'm going to use this money to register a logistics company, no, it's better to buy one, buy a small company with good credit, expand the scale of the industry, and then find professionals to operate, go to the bank to get a loan, a loan that has nothing to do with the grain factory, and use the loan to expand production. Then open a bigger grain company and do a similar process all over again. ”
"What is this, financial operations?"
"This is not an operation, we don't understand and we don't dare to ask, playing finance to the bottom is hard power, the more you indulge in it, the more difficult it is to get out.
We just need to use some superficial rules, not to mention that this is a market-friendly activity, we are not an empty shelf, we have stable food as a cornerstone. ”
Sylvia said she didn't want to understand either, so she went to the garage to change her body and drove the SUV to the west of the town, she was going to survey the terrain, and they needed a suitable environment to build a large grain factory.
Wang Shui also has his own priorities, in the clean room on the basement floor, a huge white machine occupies more than a hundred square meters of space, and only a small workbench is set aside in the center.
In the next room, it was crowded with iron-gray metal humanoids similar to mechanical exoskeletons, they only had a rough skeleton frame and transmission mechanism, no skin, no superfluous parts, and even the alchemy array was directly refined into the metal structure, and the appearance was very simple and elegant.
These are not Sylvia's spare bodies, but engineered constructs made by aqua regia.
Whether it is Wang Shui's grain factory, or various facilities in the future, all need basic workers, and these individuals with the model of [Worker's Grandfather Mass Production Machine] are the basis of Wang Shui's business empire.
Construct robots are better than real workers, and Wang Shui can also rest assured that they will work overtime, without worrying about being hung on the street lamp one day.
However, Sylvia alone must not be able to squeeze ...... Well, it is definitely not possible to operate so many engineering machines at the same time for a long time, so Wang Shui made the large white machine in front of him.
To put it simply, this is a computer, and the core element in it, that is, the computing module, is 10 crystal cards.
That's right, this is what Wang Shui brought from the main world, and this kind of thing is not to say that he fully understands the principle and can do it with alchemy with both hands.
The composition of the chip is not complicated, and Aqua regia also roughly knows the principle of manufacturing, but let alone the operation at the nanoscale scale, Aqua regia can't do it at the micron level now.
The underground production center console is just a simple single-chip microcomputer, which was rubbed into a 10-square-meter steel plate by him, and the difficulty of the chip is not something that can be done with hard work.
What's more, Wang Shui doesn't have a lot of time, he doesn't want to start a family business in more than ten years, but to enjoy the family business in more than ten years.
The Compute Core cards brought from the Overworld are very performant and not cheap, but they can be recycled and reused, and the actual cost is not too high.
Having built this mainframe computer, Wang Shui, of course, does not use simple programs, he needs those robots that can complete complex work, and even have a certain initiative.
The answer is already obvious.
Wang Shui rebuilt a [Thinking Lock] computing cloud on this machine, the structure is simpler, but the amount of code is not low at all, Wang Shui divides the [computing power] according to the minimum standard of a single person, that is, [1BVail], abbreviated as 1BV.
In the end, he got 100,000 computing power units, that is, the thinking space of 100,000 artificial souls.
That's right, it's an artificial soul, and Shui Wang wants to make his swarm, but the artificial soul is not a copy and paste of the program, it must have a complete soul model to make it slowly.
Wang Shui has only one soul on hand that can be used as a model, yes, Sylvia.
At the beginning of the plan, Aqua Kings asked Sylvia for permission to copy. But her soul is too large, and Wang Shui can only copy a framework, eliminating a large amount of personality information and data clouds.
However, with Aqua regia's understanding of artificial souls, he cannot guarantee the integrity of the product, and what he is sure of is that each artificial soul is a different existence.
The experiment had already been completed, and Wang Shui had now packed the first batch of ten artificial souls into a small single room in the computing cloud, and then connected them to the control network.
This network is the [Thinking Network] with the spiritual synchronization of Wang Shui and Sylvia as the bottom, and Wang Shui named it [Sylvia Network].
The artificial souls connected to the "Hill Net" quickly received their mechanical structures, the robots in the next room.
The personality under Wang Shui's intervention was also shaped by the [Thinking Lock], and it took a few months of hard work for Wang Shui to get the first batch of capable men.
"Brother Shui is good."
The ten artificial souls were still next door, but they sensed the location of Wang Shui through the "Hill Net", so they directly greeted Wang Shui with the [Thinking Channel].
"For the time being, you name it according to the body number, first log in to the [Work Database] to learn the content of the work, and then connect to the [Personality Database] to expand human nature, the goal is to give yourself a name within a week, oh yes, the current job is to use excavation equipment to expand this grain factory downward and sideways, and the design drawings are in the factory plan."
"Okay, Brother Shui." The ten guys are very similar in soul at the moment, and they all speak in unison, and their soul voices, oh should say they, are very similar to Sylvia, but they are much less ethereal and more mechanical.
"Have you activated the artificial soul?" Sylvia suddenly joins the chat.
"Good afternoon, Queen."
"Aqua regia!"
I found that although I was slow, my story density was quite high, just, dry.
