Chapter 1009 Warriors, Welcome to the Real World!

From the end of August to the beginning of December.

Counting the days, the markets of all sizes in the territory have been open for more than three months.

Now, the most difficult period has long been successfully passed, and it has officially entered the prosperous circulation stage.

At the beginning of the month, Hope Village had roughly counted the funds in the hands of the villagers.

The average is 12 copper coins and 7 iron coins, and the median is 6 copper coins and 2 iron coins.

According to the current price of 2 iron coins per kilogram of coarse grain, most people can buy more than 30 kilograms of food with their funds, and if the grain price is adjusted, this number will double to 60 kilograms.

This is already an amazing number.

After all, according to personal food intake, 60 kilograms is enough for an adult to survive for three months or even four months without activity.

For the refugees in the Origin Camp who were previously short of food and clothing and might have to eat a meal every two days during the heavy snowfall, 60 kilograms of food reserves are undoubtedly "sudden wealth".

They no longer worry about what to eat tomorrow, because the Tianyuan iron coins and copper coins in their hands can be exchanged for a lot of food from the village logistics department without any threshold.

They no longer worry about how to survive the next disaster, because under the precise and efficient arrangement of the village management and the guidance of the lord's general direction, everyone can find the job responsibilities that best suit them.

Life seems to have returned to normal, and order seems to have been reestablished here.

Once settled down, looking at the funds saved in their hands.

Of course.

Most people are willing to think about how to improve their lives.

This change in thinking indirectly led to the spontaneous "inflation" of the monetary system.

Of course, although this inflation is benign and can guide the market in a healthier direction.

But no matter what, the money in their hands is depreciating every day when they open their eyes.

For the few people who are in the first echelon of scavengers, they are more willing to take out the funds in their hands for investment.

Whether it is industry or themselves.

As long as it can increase their own strength, the money is worth spending.

However,

This inflation and consumption are limited to the "currency" system.

Contribution points and honor points at a higher level not only did not expand, but were constantly shrinking!

"Are you crazy? A bionic body sells for 200 contribution points???"

It only takes 500 points to stay in the Tianyuan underground city. How dare a factory-made product sell so expensive?

Even if calculated according to the highest standard, deducting the cost of raw materials, labor and other expenses, the profit margin is full.

It shouldn't be so outrageous, right? !

If this thing can be sold, then there is no need to pick up trash. Just come here to set up a factory and make money.

"I said that this is a factory opened by the lord. I am just the factory director he hired."

"The price is not set by me, but by the lord."

Brother Dong said helplessly.

Speaking of the issue of the price of bionic bodies, it is not just a few people who can't understand it.

He has been troubled by this matter these days.

But the price, the lord is determined to be a fixed price, and he can only do things according to the rules and regulations.

"Bionics is not just a thing to sell. We also provide a lot of follow-up services."

"But it's not officially on sale yet. If you want to know more, come back in a few days."

The factory's test product has indeed been off the production line.

But it takes some time to train workers, prepare raw materials, and test reliability.

Just when he was about to find a reason to send away the idle people blocking the door, the game panel suddenly opened.

A private chat message popped up, which turned out to be

[Su Mo: If they want to try it, they can use our test product. In addition, tell them that they can get a 10% discount for today's reservation. You can arrange the specific operation. 】

Yo!

Dong Ge's eyes lit up. Although he didn't know how the lord knew what happened here, this news made him excited.

Unlike the fixed salary in other places, the salary given to him by the underworld factory is not a simple currency.

Not only are there contribution points and honor points rewards, but there will even be certain stock incentives based on performance.

And he doesn't know about others, but the few people in front of him are all big households.

"In a few days"

"We've come here in this weather, can't we try it today?" Brother Gun said unwillingly: "Don't worry, we will never tell anyone!"

"You said that it's not easy to come here in this weather."

Brother Dong shook his neck, pretending to be embarrassed, but in fact he was very happy.

Several people were arguing back and forth at the door until the dreamer reluctantly gave the red envelope.

He then made way for the entrance and led people to the industrial park with a smile.

"Who would have thought that just two months ago, this was still a deserted muddy land." Brother Dong introduced with emotion: "These factories are still thanks to the increase in the output of the steel plant, otherwise it would take more time to build."

"I can see that you haven't had time to clean up the ground of this park, it's really broken." The old Taoist nodded.

"Haha, I'm used to it these days and I think it's okay. Besides, these infrastructures can be built slowly later. After all, it's wasteland, so it's more important to put it into production first."

"I understand. Enjoyment comes second after all."

The street outside is still a gravel road after all, and when you get to the park, there are patches of simply processed land.

Because of the 100% humidity, most of the ground is very wet, and a light step will leave an obvious footprint.

"I guess you have come here today and have more or less guessed the original intention of the leader to create a bionic body, right?" Walking into the park, Brother Dong deliberately lowered his voice and suddenly asked.

"Is it that accident?" Brother Gun quickened his pace and said solemnly: "If we use human lives to explore dangerous places in the city, we don’t know how much we will have to pay. In fact, the first time I heard the word bionic body, I had roughly guessed its function, but I didn’t know how we should control this thing to explore."

"It seems that you know a lot." Brother Dong habitually said the catchphrase, and then nodded and said: "Yes, the bionic body can replace us to enter some dangerous environments to explore and avoid most dangers. You just don’t see the complicated process of the manufacturing process and the R&D cost of the supporting software and win-win parts, so you think these two hundred points are expensive."

"Believe me, after trying it out, even if it doubles, you will feel it is worth it."

He did not mention the specific process.

But the six factories in the park have proved that what he said is true.

Each of these simple factories built with steel frames is 300 square meters in size and has basic dust-free equipment.

Through the plastic dust shield on the outside, you can vaguely see the large and small equipment placed inside.

Many trained workers are operating the equipment, making buzzing sounds from time to time.

"So many people already?"

"Well, there are 52 people now, and it is estimated that the number of recruits will be expanded to about 100 in the future."

"So many people?" The old Taoist's eyes were wide open.

Because of the relationship with the moth, he knew the general situation of the Dream Refining Steel Plant.

There are only 80 employees there now, and the daily salary expenditure alone is about 2,000 iron coins.

According to the salary posted by "No one knows better than me", it is 35 iron coins a day.

One hundred people, that's 3,500 iron coins!

Good guy, the expenditure for this day is almost catching up with all their current accumulation.

After learning about the cost, the old Taoist was no longer embarrassed to ask if the outrageous price quoted by Brother Dong could be cheaper.

Not counting the expenditure on the development of this technology, the current price alone is so outrageous.

Calculated with two hundred contribution points, it is really not expensive.

Continuing to walk into the park, Brother Dong introduced it all the way, and soon arrived at the last huge factory.

Pushing open several doors in succession, a dry feeling came suddenly.

The clever design of isolating humidity makes the internal humidity basically in a constant humidity state, maintained at around 60.

In the center of the venue, the huge black device that came into view attracted the attention of everyone present.

"That is"

"This is the server group of virtual reality."

Behind the device, a sloppy face appeared, and replied weakly.

"He is the deputy director of the underworld factory, Li Xing."

"If it is more convenient, you can call me the King of Hell and call him the judge."

Hearing Brother Dong's introduction, Li Xing rolled his eyes and stretched his waist to stand up from the chair.

"You are here to test the real world, right? The cost is 50 copper coins per person, pay first."

"What? So expensive?"

Wei Ge, who had been silent, could not hold back any longer.

Fifty copper coins can be exchanged for 500 kilograms of food at the logistics department, but you can only test it once here?

"Of course, the cost of starting this big thing once is not small. If you want to enter the 'real world' and find it expensive, you can bring more people to share the cost."

"Real world? Running in the virtual world?"

Dream Hunter's eyes lit up, interrupting Wei Ge's chatter.

A brand new term, running in virtual reality?

Before this, he had not formed a specific concept of how to control the bionic body.

But if it is added to the virtual world

Oh my god, can it realize holographic simulation and form a picture of real people exploring in real time?

However, after noticing the surprise on the face of the dream hunter, Li Xing looked at Dong Ge, and they both showed a meaningful smile on their faces.

Sure enough, dealing with smart people is comfortable.

Basically, as long as they give some necessary connections, they can connect all the clues and get the answer.

"Don't think too much. What we are testing now is only the 0 version of the real world. Don't expect too many powerful functions. It's a miracle that it can run."

Li Xing said, pointing to the corner of the factory.

Following his guidance, everyone saw some "strange" things there.

There was a long doll that looked like a fish, about 60 cm long.

There was a truck shape, which looked like a crudely made car model.

There was a dwarf with a blurred face, who could only be roughly distinguished from the outline as a human, but was less than one meter tall.

There were also a few radiation beast models that ordinary people could not recognize, but were familiar to several people present.

"Is that a bionic body?"

The nuclear rifle wiped his eyes and spoke in a muffled voice with some disbelief.

In his imagination, even if the bionic body's craftsmanship was bad, it should at least be related to humans, right?

But among all the things present, only the dwarf is still good, and the rest of the things

"You will know if it works after trying it."

"Whether it is useful or not, I believe you will have a conclusion in a while."

Li Xing spoke confidently.

As outrageous as these gadgets may seem, their appearance and construction shouldn't be exactly the same.

But in fact, its internal parts are basically universal, and repairs only require replacing damaged modules.

There is no point in making a special bionic body according to each person's unique needs. Except for the needs of the lord, it is impossible for the Hell Factory to develop an independent parts assembly line for a certain user.

On the contrary, if the user can adapt to one of the bionic bodies, the other bionic bodies can also quickly get used to it.

This is what the developers originally wanted to achieve!

"Okay, fifty copper coins, just fifty copper coins, here you go."

Taking out the money bag from his arms, Wei Wei eagerly counted out fifty copper coins and handed them over.

Several other people also took out copper coins to pay the money quite distressedly.

This is indeed not a small sum of money.

Even they had to go through a lot of dangerous places to accumulate the amount they have now.

However, the nuclear rifle performed the easiest, which may have a lot to do with the fact that the military camp provides food and accommodation.

"Thank you for your patronage."

Brother Dong stepped forward, took the money with a smile on his face, and soon brought out five simple patch helmets.

As a device that opens in a small area of ​​virtual reality, there is an induced current inside the helmet, which can reduce the loss caused by wireless transmission.

Even if only five people are simulated, the energy consumption required is within the acceptable range.

"Wait, don't move."

"okay!"

Sitting cross-legged on the ground, several people looked around nervously.

After about a minute, a spinning trance came over me, and my vision began to blur.

Various indescribable colors began to flip, twist, stretch, and overlap before my eyes.

Colorful threads began to reconstruct in the field of vision, and after a while a general outline was drawn.

This is not the first time I have entered the virtual realm, but compared to the mildness before, this time it is obviously more intense and more real.

A faint breeze blew past his face, and the natural smell of leather lingered on the tip of his nose.

The nuclear rifle was the first to come to his senses, shook his head and looked around.

Where everyone is now is the entrance to an open hall, with light reflected behind two glass doors.

An eye-catching signboard hangs above the glass door, with two huge Chinese characters written on it:

Real world.

"This is"

Pushing open the glass door, the nuclear-powered rifle couldn't help but be stunned at the door.

The first thing that catches the eye is a huge bar made of marble, about ten meters long.

Behind the bar, there are two rows of cabinets connected to the ceiling, separated by acrylic boards. For the time being, only a golden trophy is placed.

A figure whose face was covered in mist and couldn't see clearly was standing in the bar, looking at each other with several people.

A very strange feeling.

Although they couldn't see the other person's expression, several people present felt that the other person seemed to be expressing goodwill and smiling at them.

"Warriors, welcome to the true world!"
