This Game Is Too Realistic Chapter 209: The second generation of currency and honors
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapters of this game is too real!
The so-called "silver coins" are not enough, but it does not mean that Chu Guang is short of money.
Just kidding, as a game planner, he could just change the values with just a few clicks of his fingers. How could he be short of money?
The "foreign exchanges" such as Boulder City's chips, the enterprise's CR and the legion's dinars, and "silver coins" are really just numbers to Chu Guang.
He can send as much as he wants if necessary.
Of course, in order to prevent hyperinflation, he will still ask Xiaoqi to help make a report to count the shelter's production and material consumption on a monthly basis, and prepare a budget form in a planned way to ensure that the shelter 404 is in good condition. A growing organization can continue to operate in an orderly manner.
However, the problem now is that although silver coins can be issued at will, the "game coins" used as "silver coins" before are not enough.
At first, because there were no conditions for minting coins, Chu Guang adopted a method similar to Boulder City, using game coins from a certain video arcade as equivalent exchange items.
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 are also highly regional. This kind of coin can only be found in specific arcades, and this kind of coin can only be found in specific arcades. The Home Appliance Play Center is located outside Qingquan City. If it is used on a small scale, it would be a dream to just pick it up while scavenging.
And the most important thing is that this coin has a special design, and like the chips in Boulder City, it has certain anti-counterfeiting technology.
With the manufacturing technology in the wasteland, it is definitely not worth it to make an exact replica without saying whether it is possible or not.
However, the shortcomings of this currency are also obvious. It cannot be reproduced, which means it cannot be issued at will.
You can't cut one out using "magnetic confinement plasma", right?
The cost is too high!
Whether it is the inert gas used as a cutting fluid or the fusion battery used to power equipment, they are considered non-renewable sources in the wasteland, so use as little as possible.
When you run out of them, God knows when you can get them again.
But fortunately, Chu Guang obtained the B2 level permission of the shelter at that time, found the VM piled in the warehouse, and promoted the electronic currency through the VM, taking back part of the currency from the players and solving part of the problem.
However, with the influx of new players and the gradual flow of silver coins into the hands of surrounding survivors, his hundreds of thousands of coins have evaporated almost at the speed of light recently, and now only a few thousand are left!
Wait until next month, Chu Guang still has to pay wages to the NPCs.
You can’t make an idle note then, right?
It would be funny if a batch of people in the warehouse could not be paid wages even though they were fat!
Therefore, the issuance of the second generation currency is imperative!
Currently, the gold reserves in the outpost are about 500 kilograms, and the silver reserves are relatively high, reaching 4,000 kilograms. They can be used to make some precious metal currencies.
However, the problem is that precious metals in the wasteland are not scarce, and this can be seen from the Legion that pursues the "gold standard" monetary policy.
The weight of a dinar is 9 grams, and the net content of gold is about 4 to 5 grams. Under the current market conditions, it costs 1,000 to 2,000 dinars to buy a strong, non-quick clone slave. In other words, it is 8 to 10 kilograms of gold.
A captain can pay a ransom of 200,000 dinars, which is equivalent to one ton of gold. If calculated based on real-world prices, it would cost hundreds of millions of soft sister coins!
Obviously, the gold reserves in the wasteland world's pre-war society are not of the same order of magnitude as the gold reserves in the real world. They are at least ten times, or even a hundred times more, and the per capita holdings are even more incomparable.
Otherwise, a captain of thousands would not be able to produce a full ton of gold.
Therefore, it is difficult for the precious metal standard to work in the wasteland, and it is completely opposite to that on the earth.
Legion chose to use quantity to solve this problem, relying on quantity to support value.
Enterprises are pure credit currencies, using banknotes with high anti-counterfeiting technology, similar to the mainstream currency systems of various countries in the real world, making it easy to adjust the currency supply at any time. The reason why Ideal City's financial industry is developed is inseparable from loose monetary policy.
However, this also results in CR's purchasing power and influence being always erratic outside the East Coast.
Even the company's own caravan prefers to barter, and would rather use the legion's dinar than that pile of colorful paper.
After all, in their industrial system, gold still has some uses, but the supply is slightly larger, so it is not very valuable.
In fact, no matter which route you refer to, there is no optimal solution, only the choice that best meets the current needs.
After some weighing, Chu Guang synthesized some ideas put forward by small players on the forum during discussions and exchanges, and attached a certain scarcity attribute to the currency on the premise of adopting a credit-based currency system.
The currency of the second generation still uses the silver coin setting, but it is no longer a silver coin that sells sheep over dogs, but silver coins designed and minted by the shelter itself.
The silver coin weighs tentatively 10g, is made of 90% silver and 10% copper, and is circulated with a face value of 100 banknotes.
As for copper coins, they will be gradually suspended from circulation until they are completely withdrawn from the market.
Old players can pay electronically, but new players and most NPCs cannot, nor can the wastelanders and caravans traveling here.
The new version of the currency is mainly launched for this group of people!
At the same time, in order to prevent the value of silver coins from seriously exceeding the value of the metal itself, Chu Guang plans to actively inflate about 50% within two versions.
The specific plan is to increase the purchase and sale prices of agricultural products, prey, garbage and other raw materials in NPC stores while keeping the resurrection fee unchanged, and increase the minimum transaction unit to more than 1 silver coin.
As for weapons, bullets and other industrial products, the prices remain unchanged.
Since the establishment of the new industrial zone, the cost of industrial products has dropped significantly, which can offset part of the impact of inflation.
Allowing more players to consume primers and better weapons is a disguised enhancement.
At the same time, as raw materials increase, the wages of NPCs and the basic income from player tasks will also increase. The number of prey hunted by hunters can almost triple in the new version.
This can be regarded as balancing the income gap between different gameplays and professions.
……
New industrial zone.
In a corner of the abandoned tire factory, in the brick building next to the guard post, a large number of scrap parts are displayed here, some of which have been assembled into usable machines.
Several workers wearing fur clothes are adding a special alkaline sizing agent to a large pot of pulp made from cotton, 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 have a flaxen gray color under natural conditions and will appear slightly bluish when light is transmitted through them. The main reason for this is that the pulp is added with mushroom powder that is dried and ground into the pulp.
Chu Guang also didn't expect that the mushrooms he had pressed at the bottom of the warehouse box to eat ashes would actually come in handy at this time.
Standing next to the box, Chu Guang held a piece of paper cut into squares in his hand. 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 kind of paper can you produce in a day?"
After hearing the manager's inquiry, the old man replied respectfully.
"Sir, in addition to the blue mushroom, the production of this kind of paper also requires a special kind of nettle. Although it is not a rare thing, it is difficult to find in winter. If the supply of raw materials is sufficient, we can produce it in one day About 500 kilograms is no problem."
The old man's name is Wu Mu. He comes from the survivor settlement in the middle of the River Valley Province. Jiuli and the others joined them halfway and came with the refugee team to the northern suburbs of Qingquan City.
Before becoming a refugee, he worked as a papermaker and made a living from this.
The profession of papermaker is quite rare in the wasteland. After all, paper is not a rare thing at all.
Even if cash accounts for less than 1% of transactions in the People's Union era, the amount of banknotes left behind is still a huge astronomical figure.
For the survivors in the wasteland, after more than two hundred years of burning, there are still a lot of things left that have not been burned out.
In addition, there are educational facilities such as libraries and schools, as well as bookshelves in private homes, etc. Acid-free papers made from synthetic fibers last a long time just like plastic.
Some survivors would use banknotes from pre-war society to make paper-cased bullets, or break the paper into fibers to replace cotton as the lining of clothes or bedding.
When Jiuli heard that Chu Guang needed a papermaker, he immediately recommended the 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 papermaking equipment using parts and equipment recycled from players.
Using a special alkaline sizing agent and a recipe passed down from his ancestors, the paper made by Kuremu feels just like the money players picked up from the wasteland as toilet paper.
So much so that Chu Guang couldn’t help but wonder what his ancestors did...
Coughing slightly, Chu Guang said.
"Five hundred kilograms is enough."
The weight of a banknote is about 1g.
After solving the printing problem, 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. After this batch of products is produced, there is no need to rush to produce the next batch. Before resuming production, I need you to solve a key problem."
As he spoke, Chu Guang took out a thread thinner than a hair from his pocket and placed it on Wu Mu's hand.
After studying the thin line for a while, the expression on the old man's face suddenly showed an expression of surprise.
"Is this... devil's thread?!"
This thing is much rarer than the blue mushroom!
"Yes," Chu Guang nodded and continued, "Since you know it, I won't go into details about its characteristics. I need you to find a way to embed it into the paper, whether it is using Regardless of the weaving method, or whether it is directly pressed into the paper during papermaking, there is only one requirement, and that is to be able to embody part of the characteristics of Devil's Silk on the paper. Let me just say it straight, this is mainly used for anti-counterfeiting. "
A look of embarrassment appeared on Wu Mu's face.
After hesitating for a moment, he said seriously.
"Sir, I have never tried this kind of thing... I can't guarantee you that it can be done, I can only say give it a try."
Chu Guang said.
"Well, try all the methods you can think of first. If you can't solve the problem, I will think of other methods."
After explaining the matter, Chu Guang turned around and walked out of the house.
But just when Chu Guang walked to the door, he suddenly remembered something, stopped and looked back at the old man.
"By the way, who else besides you knows the formula of these papers?"
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 proportions written in the formula you have, what materials were used and how much of them were used , only I know!"
Chu Guang glanced at him approvingly.
"Very good, hope you continue."
"Besides, I don't want someone somewhere else to make something exactly like us, do you understand what I mean?"
The old man swore with a nervous expression.
"Don't worry, sir, I promise to keep the secret in my stomach."
Chu Guang nodded.
"I hope so."
It is impossible to expect the formula to be completely confidential. There is no technical threshold for this thing. You can probably find it after a little research.
At most, there is a certain scarcity of resources for blue mushrooms. The technology of the post-war era cannot be artificially synthesized or cultivated artificially. Even if they are sold in Boulder City, the price is not cheap.
There is also devil silk.
With the addition of these two things, even if there is no watermark anti-counterfeiting technology as powerful as the "enterprise", it can still ensure that those who make counterfeit banknotes will be unprofitable.
Whether it is banknotes or coins, they are mainly prepared for NPCs.
As for the players.
Of course, electronic payment is more convenient.

The topics on the forum are mainly focused on the upcoming Alpha1.0 version and the launch of the medal system.
As for Boss Xia’s upcoming new weapons, not many people have discussed this.
After all, both the barrel and the receiver are made by the No. 81 Steel Factory. The two factory directors are filling the forum every day and discussing the production process of seamless steel pipes with some netizens who are worse than mosquitoes.
They already know what the new weapons will be on the shelves soon, 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 those making fun of the fringe guy.
Worried that the teammates who went to the OB forum would not be able to find a home, Debt Big Eye opened a special post and invited everyone to join in.
"Close and close! Today's Death Lotto draw! The result this time is twenty! Unfortunately, I guessed six. It was still too conservative, but it doesn't matter, because no one guessed correctly, so the result It’s a draw! A world where no one loses money is achieved. (Funny)”
Maka Bazi: "Hahaha, the black car of death is really hammered! No, MMP, I am dead too!"
The boy at the construction site and Brick: "Gan! I was having a great time shooting with the machine gun. Why are there no people left? Even the free bullets issued by the mission have not been used up! (Anger)"
Responsible for Big Eyes: "It's okay, I'll finish it for you. (Funny)"
Construction site boy and brick: "MMP!"
The edge of the water: "Hey, brothers, I'm sorry for you, I didn't bring you back."
When I typed this line, the edges were really cracked.
The first time he led a team was an encounter with mutant No. 76.
From that moment on, everything went wrong for him as long as he was the captain. He often suffered 10,000 tons of damage, so much so that some people even teased him. He might as well wear a gas mask next time. Rigg Death Corps.
If this wasn't planned, I wouldn't believe it if I beat him to death.
Fortunately, his teammates didn't blame him.
Debt Big Eyes: "It's okay. Seeing you coming down also makes me feel more balanced."
Commander Quanshui: "Touch the edge, brother, he's a man!"
Roller hair washing machine: "Hahaha, +1, what a big deal, how can you not die while playing games? We Makabazi have died several times, and we can't keep smiling all day long."
Makabazi: "Gan! What do you mean by dying several times? I am being planned and targeted!"
The boy at the construction site and Brick: "Brother Guang: Say it again? I will dare next time."
Makabazi: "@#%!"
The little OB players are still filling in the forums, and the smart little players have already started drawing.
No matter what the mysterious gift Xiaoyu said, this is an opportunity to design game currency!
If I can pass this, I won’t be admitted to the Hall of Fame?
In the future, all players on the server will use currencies designed by themselves, which is awesome just thinking about it!
……
On the road leading to the south of Tianshui City, a force of 100 people was evacuating.
Because they came in a hurry, they left in a hurry, so that everyone looked very tired and sat listlessly in the truck.
The man who was also sitting in the truck with only a bunch of hair on his head had a heavy expression.
Across from him sat Yu, Heli, Iron Knees and other ten captains. At this moment, they were all trembling with fear and did not dare to take a breath. They lowered their heads and counted the mud on their boots.
Kevin, who was sitting next to Gangya, comforted him.
"At least we annihilated one of their elites, and the situation is not as bad as imagined."
Gang Ya gritted his teeth and choked out a sentence.
"Why do they also have legion weapons?"
"There is nothing surprising about the Legion's weapons everywhere in the River Valley Province. What you should be more worried about is that they not only have Legion's weapons, but also their own standard weapons."
Looking at the captured assault rifle in his hand, Kevin, who did not care about the immediate outcome, had a look of interest in his eyes.
The design of this rifle is very clever.
In particular, the structure of the receiver is extremely simple and even retro.
However, it is surprisingly durable.
The assault rifles of the legion adopt a similar design idea, but the number of assault rifles in the legion is not too large. They are generally issued to elite troops, or used with submachine guns to install on the front line.
In the legion, a large number of light infantry who fill the front and attack the enemy's position are mainly equipped with long bayonets and bolt-action rifles. The supporting firepower is 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 issuing an automatic rifle, an extra pack of bullets is a waste.
With that transportation capacity, it is better to send two more artillery shells to the artillery position.
"By stamping and forging the receiver, you can stamp and make the cartridge case... This thing is much more powerful than the iron tube rifle."
Hearing Kevin's words, Steel Nail frowned.
"What's the difference?"
The Bonechewer tribe can also imitate the Legion's ammunition and weapons. Although it is a bit less efficient, they have a sufficient number of slaves.
Coupled with the fact that he has taken over a large amount of the Legion's inventory and has the support of the Torch Church, he does not think that being able to make weapons is anything special.
When the large troops arrive at the front line, it will only be a matter of time before those ants are crushed!
However, whether this was what the staff officer said, Gangya still took it seriously.
Kevin nodded and spoke concisely.
"Yes, and the difference is huge."
Looking outside the truck.
Looking in the south direction, the man with the raised nose narrowed his eyes slightly.
"This means that they already have certain industrial capabilities, even just a little."
"These people are difficult to deal with!"
