Chapter 250 Can Time Travelers Also Receive It?
"Call Master Gou to come and listen." Master Gou said.
Mo Qiong kept smiling and said, "The superiors said that I have a lot of things that I haven't collected yet, like this Xu Island. I'm just thinking about which one is bigger."
"You pick whatever you want. Why do newcomers need so much land? It's so tiring to plant." Gou Ye curled his lips and said.
"It doesn't matter if it's not tiring or not. There's not too much land. It's just this free opportunity for members. I have to choose a bigger one." Mo Qiong said.
Master Gou couldn't help but sneer when he saw Mo Qiong looking back and forth, as if he wanted to see the area from the outside.
"You can't tell which one is bigger even if you look at it like this!"
"I heard that you are a Gamma-level club member and a veteran in the club. Please help me find out the details." Mo Qiong said.
"You know I'm a senior and why don't you call me?" Mr. Gou said with a smile.
Mo Qiong grinned and said: "If you want others to respect you, you don't have to rely on your elders to do it. If you don't know how to do it, then I'd better choose it myself."
"Huh? You're quite realistic, you won't let go until you see the benefits, right?" Master Gou smiled, reached out and picked up a crystal ball, and weighed it.
"Small! Too small!"
Master Gou threw the crystal ball back with a wave of his hand, then picked up another one and bumped it.
"Small!"
Every time he picked one up, he just shook it casually and found it too small.
"Small! This one is too small, tsk, this one is even smaller, um, this one is okay, it's still small..."
"Brother, why is there no good stuff at the headquarters? None of them cover 60 square kilometers."
Master Gou complained to the receptionist in disgust, and the receptionist twitched his lips and said, "Master Gou, there are only a few islands of sixty square kilometers, and they are not always available. Let me tell you the truth, the largest one in this batch is only fifty square kilometers.”
"Really?" After hearing this, Mr. Gou turned around and said to Mo Qiong, "What should I say? How about fifty?"
After Mo Qiong calculated it, an island of fifty square kilometers was already very large, while Macau was only over thirty square kilometers.
The society has only divided a total of 900,000 square kilometers of land into many virtual islands. Not all of them are given to the members. The large ones need to be built into bases or used for other purposes.
Only areas with an area of 60 square kilometers or less can be divided among members.
Most of the members' allocations are basically between five and twenty square kilometers. Those who are above 30 are lucky, and those who are above 40 must have been helped by old members.
Gou Ye can help him pick out fifty square kilometers, which is already among the best.
If you want a bigger one in the future, you can spend the shelter points to buy it yourself. Mo Qiong is not familiar with it this time. If you know the selection routine, it will not be too late to pick it next time.
"That's enough, too much is a waste," Mo Qiong said.
"Okay." Mr. Gou picked up the crystal balls one by one, weighed them and put them back again, repeating this process. It seemed that he could estimate the size just by shaking them.
Mo Qiong followed behind and observed silently, wondering if the weight was different?
But no, he also tried to weigh the weight and found that the weight of each crystal ball was equal, without any difference.
"Eh? Wait a minute?" Mo Qiong suddenly saw the difference.
He discovered that if he turned the crystal ball violently, the seawater inside would stir up waves.
Of course, the waves were not obvious. From the outside, it was just that some seawater flooded up on the edge of the island, and then receded quickly.
But if we know how big the waves inside are caused by such shaking, we can deduce how big the island is.
Or compare two crystal balls to see how much seawater submerged them under the same shaking force.
The larger the amplitude, the smaller the island area will undoubtedly be.
After thinking about this, Mo Qiong secretly thought that this method was really simple, and to be honest, it was worthless.
But he didn't expect that shaking the crystal ball could make waves inside. After all, what Yi Bo told him before was that without the sea water, the inside and outside are two worlds that cannot be connected.
But now it seems that it's just that the outside matter can't get in, and the inside can't get out.
The inner wall of the crystal ball itself can exert force on the seawater inside.
When he turns the crystal ball outside, it is equivalent to the 'world barrier' inside shaking, which will naturally cause dragons and snakes to rise and fall inside.
"This one should be big, right?" Mo Qiong watched from behind as Master Gou tried it one by one, and soon saw that the wave amplitude of a certain crystal ball was very small.
"Well, this one is about forty-five, what? Did you see it?" Master Gou said with a smile.
He is an old member of the club, so he has naturally owned his own island for a long time. He knows the area of his island, and combined with his observation experience of daily waves caused by external shaking, he can easily estimate the area of the islands of these crystal balls.
Mo Qiong smiled and nodded: "Although I can't calculate the specific area, I can find the largest one by comparing the two."
Mr. Gou laughed and said, "Okay, if your observation ability is so-so, you can choose. I'll smoke outside and wait for you."
With that said, he lit another cigarette and went out.
Mo Qiong found the trick and quickly picked out the one with the largest island area.
It is shaped like an hourglass. The narrower part in the middle does not mean that the area is smaller, but there is a large area of shallow sea, and you can see the white sand on the bottom of the sea.
"Mo Qiong, your island covers an area of 54 square kilometers. Maybe you are not familiar with its usage. Let me briefly explain to you that everything inside it comes from Xuzhou, whether it is sea water or grass on it. A piece of wood cannot be taken outside. Even if it is placed in sea water, it can only put outside things in and take out outside things. "
"Of course, the things planted inside can be taken out. This is also the only way to bring out the trace elements inside, that is, to absorb them with life, make them blend into one, and then bring them out."
"If you can eat this island and digest it, then you can bring the materials of this island to the earth."
Mo Qiong nodded. He was still thinking, if this thing is placed on the sea, the sea water will make it bumpy, and won't it stir up tsunamis every day?
So it can only be placed in a calm water tank, but there is so much sea water inside, what if it all rushes out?
It turns out that things belonging to the crystal ball cannot come out.
Mo Qiong walked out happily with his virtual island, and saw that Gou Ye had finished smoking two cigarettes.
"Have you finished picking? Let's go. There is nothing on your island. Let's hand it over to the General Affairs Department for construction first." Gou Ye said.
Mo Qiong followed him and soon came to a work area of the General Affairs Department.
The General Affairs Department manages a large number of peripheral staff, providing logistics for shelter, production for finance, and services for members.
Building large water reservoirs, residential gardens, roads and ports, and even afforestation can all be entrusted to them.
"Generally speaking, it's not good for newcomers to take such a large island. You can't afford it." Gou Ye said.
"What? Aren't you helping me build it for free?" Mo Qiong said.
"You're dreaming. The club will give you an island, but it's your own business to build it. You must pay the money and the amount you should pay. Of course, I can help you build it first, but I have to use the output of your island to pay off the debt until it is paid off. That means you will have to plant crops for a long time." Gou Ye smiled.
Mo Qiong shook his head and said, "It takes half a year to plant a Danmu. I don't have much capital now, so I can't plant on a large scale. I don't know how many years it will take to pay it off in the future. Forget it."
"I have some savings, so I can just build a small piece of land. I can solve the problems of fresh water, housing, warehouses and docks, and I'll talk about the rest later."
Gou Ye smiled and said, "To build the virtual island, you can't hire outsiders, you can only use your own people in the community. As peripheral personnel, their labor costs are very high. Even if you do it simply, it will cost at least more than 10 million."
"It's okay... I have it!" Mo Qiong has more than 20 million, so it's no problem to take out half of it.
"In addition, the cost of planting derivatives is not only seeds, you also have to buy various instruments, which are also expensive. In addition, you will definitely not have time to take care of the fields in the future. You can only work occasionally. Most of the time you can only entrust the fields to others to take care of. Hiring peripheral personnel to work is very expensive. Of course, if you use the shelter to pay, it can be much cheaper." Gou Ye laughed strangely.
Mo Qiong was overwhelmed. At first, he thought it was fun that the club gave him an island, but in fact, a bare island was a money-eating beast.
If he wanted to make a profit from his business, the initial investment would be huge.
No wonder a member on the forum said that he had been eating in the cafeteria for half a year and finally grew Danmu.
If he hadn't made a lot of money before joining the club, he really couldn't afford it.
However, Mo Qiong saw Gou Ye laughing strangely, and his heart moved.
"Senior, the labor cost won't be that expensive, right? You must have a way, right?" Mo Qiong asked.
"Yes, of course there is, there are very cheap ones, and they are once and for all, and can work for you for half a lifetime." Gou Ye smiled.
"What? There is such a thing?" Mo Qiong was surprised.
"Hmm..." Gou Ye looked up at the sky.
"Tsk, it must be a lie. Buy out and work for half a lifetime? How can there be such a thing in modern society?" Mo Qiong said deliberately.
Gou Ye laughed and said, "Hey, don't provoke me, I have a bad temper. It's useless for me to tell you, because you can't get it. It requires a Gamma-level medal as a guarantee. No matter how many points you have, it's useless. It's not something that can be bought with points."
"Senior, please tell me, what is it?" Mo Qiong asked curiously.
"Traveler."
"Ah? Can travelers get it?"
