Chapter 204 Gold
Zhao Xiaochuan: "Is little beauty Wen Xi so rich?! How deep do you hide it!"
Wen Guixin: "There seems to be a deeper friendship between Xu Xin and Wen Xi~"
Li Wenxi: "No way, sister Guixin, don't talk nonsense..."
Qin Yunlong: "Is this black gold the raw material of the lightning rod just mentioned?"
Li Wenxi: "Yes, I have more materials now and can make one for each of you."
Ji Chaoyang: "There are no thunderstorms now, and there is no need for lightning rods for the time being. Let's give priority to making coordinates for materials."
Zhao Xiaochuan: "Then, should we determine our respective positions and deal with the coordinate problem first, or should we expand directly?"
Ji Chaoyang: "Proceed at the same time. Xu Xin and Li Wenxi will handle the coordinates matter. I am close and can also help. Your task is to first explore the surrounding situation and kill or conquer people in other surrounding areas. , first make sure the area around your protected area is safe.”
Xu Xin also added: "Yes, there is no need to consider what people in other areas think about them. If he is willing to work, let him come. If he is not willing, then kill him!"
Everyone in [Explorer] agreed with the plan proposed by Xu Xin.
Ji Chaoyang: "We still need some preparations. I will explain the ins and outs of this matter to others on the regional channel. There are many people who are afraid of death, and I believe many people will respond to us."
Xu Xin: "Okay, then you tell me. It's already dark today. Everyone has been busy all day and it's time to rest. Starting tomorrow, let's officially start taking action."
After exiting [Explorer], Xu Xin breathed a sigh of relief.
I looked at the time and it was still early to go to bed.
He is going to do some artistic creation.
After all, if you want to make coordinates, the first problem that needs to be overcome is the poor success rate of alchemy.
He didn't know what the success rate of the coordinates was, but it would definitely not be high. Therefore, he now needed more decoration and more amplification points to add to the alchemy room.
Otherwise, once the coordinates fail to be produced, a lot of materials will be wasted.
That’s forty blue-level materials!
Even if Li Wenxi is rich, he may not be able to withstand his waste.
At this time, Li Wenxi sent him a video.
Her expression was a little worried. This was the first time Xu Xin saw such an expression on her.
"Xu Xin, do we really want to kill people in other areas? I feel that I am not suitable for this kind of thing. My fighting power is not as strong as yours. I may not be able to defeat other people when I meet them..." She The voice was very low, a little afraid that Xu Xin would accuse her.
Xu Xin was dumbfounded. This was a situation he had not considered much.
Indeed, not everyone likes fighting, and Li Wenxi obviously doesn't like it. Moreover, her ability is related to the ore, and it does not increase her combat effectiveness much.
"Don't worry, you are near me. The tree houses around me have been cleaned up. I can help you tomorrow."
There are no enemies around him now, and he originally wanted to find enemies near other survivors in the same area, just in time to help Li Wenxi.
"Really? Huh? Then... can we meet tomorrow?" Li Wenxi suddenly became nervous and smoothed his hair with his hand.
Xu Xin said speechlessly: "Videos all day long, does it make any difference whether we meet or not?"
"Of course!" Li Wenxi glared at him, and then her expression became a little hesitant, as if she had something to say.
"What's wrong?" Xu Xin asked, seeing her twitchy look.
"Hmm...it's nothing. Oops, let's not talk about this anymore. Xu Xin, guess what I discovered today!" Li Wenxi swept away her previous worries and smiled again.
"What new ore was discovered?" Xu Xin thought of what she said before.
"Hey, I found a gold mine! Dang, gold! Nuggets!" Li Wenxi moved away, revealing several golden gold nuggets behind her.
Gold mine?
Gold!
Damn it!
Real rich woman!
Among the raw materials for making his universal alchemy material, there is gold dust, which can replace black gold dust.
And that’s not all gold is used for.
Gold is much more stable than other metals, has good electrical conductivity, is soft and easy to process. On Earth, the modern electronics industry is completely inseparable from gold. Some people buy old electrical appliances just to extract the gold and silver in them.
However, the amount of gold used is relatively small, and most parts are still made of silver and copper. After all, gold is too precious.
In addition, real gold is not afraid of fire. Gold is resistant to high temperatures and can effectively reflect visible light and resist cosmic rays. Its reflection ability of infrared rays reaches 98.44%. Therefore, gold is also widely used in the aerospace industry. A gold-plated layer can To a satellite or spacecraft, it is like the atmosphere to humans.
Of course, for Xu Xin now, just saying this is a bit outrageous.
But the role of conductivity cannot be ignored!
"Can you give me a look?" Xu Xin immediately put the coordinates thing behind him. He couldn't wait to know whether gold could be used to make electrical appliances! Can he enter the electrical age because of this?
"Okay, here it is." Li Wenxi sent him the deal directly.
Xu Xin clicked to agree, and a heavy gold nugget immediately appeared in his hand. Even with his current strength, he could barely hold it.
[Gold nugget (blue): A metal nugget with extremely stable properties. It has excellent electrical conductivity, is soft and easy to process, and is an essential material for some electrical appliances. 】
Electrical appliances!
Xu Xin immediately came to his production room on the second floor and immediately checked the production list in his [Basic Electrical Appliance Production Station].
But the result left him very disappointed.
There are no new appliances on the list.
It seems that if you want to make electrical appliances, you still need copper and silver.
Although gold is highly conductive, it cannot replace these two metals. And judging from the name of this production station, [Basic Electrical Appliance Production Station], the electrical appliances are relatively basic, and I’m afraid they may not necessarily use gold.
Unexpectedly, Li Wenxi did not find the copper and silver, but found the gold first.
"However, if this is the case, then the gold will be of little use..." Xu Xin murmured.
He still turned on the video, so his expression was fully visible to Li Wenxi. Seeing him say this, Li Wenxi naturally knew that gold nuggets could no longer be used to make electrical appliances.
This made her a little disappointed, but she quickly recovered.
"Don't be so disappointed. Have you forgotten another function of gold?" Li Wenxi wanted to lift a gold nugget on the table, but it was too heavy and her hand slipped and she couldn't lift it up. However, she didn't care and instead said with her hands on her hips, "Gold can be circulated as currency!"
currency?
"We all have the idea of forming a large organization. Wouldn't it be very unprofessional if we continue to barter! By then, it will be the time for gold nuggets to appear! When we stabilize, we can issue gold coins ourselves!"
What she said did make some sense.
Today's survivors are engaging in the most primitive form of bartering. The only thing that can measure value is the points in the points mall, but these points are bound to the survivors and cannot be used interchangeably.
There are many unfavorable factors in such transactions, which will cause the market to be extremely chaotic. If an organization with tens of thousands of people appears in the future, a currency will indeed be needed to measure the value of items.
But this is still a bit far away for them now.
Who knows when the next event will be and how many people will die. In troubled times, gold is like dung, and this is not something you say casually.
Even though the mysterious voice had said that their survival rate would be greatly improved in the second stage, he did not dare to consider such a thing. He could only wait until later to see if it could be completely stabilized before making such considerations.
He had no intention of dampening Li Wenxi's enthusiasm. He didn't know much about economics, so he asked: "Then, if we really need to issue currency in the future, will you be responsible?"
"Ah?" Li Wenxi was also stunned, and hurriedly waved her hand, "I don't understand this, I just said casually, oh, by then there will definitely be talents who are proficient in economics in the organization, just leave it to them .”
Xu Xin smiled, there is still a long way to go.
However, with the gold nuggets, the material pressure for refining his universal alchemy materials is much less, which is always a good thing.
"How many steel blocks do you have now? I want to make a coordinate first to try."
"Okay, I'll give you the materials!"
Li Wenxi traded all the materials enough to make one coordinate to him at once.
Ten steel nuggets (blue), ten iron nuggets (blue), and ten black gold nuggets (blue).
"Gold nuggets can replace black gold nuggets. If black gold is not available, gold nuggets can be used instead." Xu Xin told Li Wenxi.
"Oh, okay, well, I don't have many gold nuggets. Let's use black gold first. I picked up a lot of black gold last time."
"Okay, I'll give it a try."
"Well. Well...Xu Xin, will you really come tomorrow? I should, just to the east of you."
"Have you forgotten my Silver King? I'm afraid it won't even take half an hour for me to go to your place."
"Really, then I'm relieved! Hehe, let's see you tomorrow!"
After getting the materials from Li Wenxi, Xu Xin came to the alchemy room.
He first made all ten universal alchemy materials, and then clicked [Coordinates]. He wanted to see first what the success rate of refining was.
[Coordinates are about to be created, the success rate is 56% (50%+6%), do you want to continue?]
Sure enough, the basic success rate is still 50%. The decoration increase point he assigned on the coordinates is 60%. When added to the success rate, there is only 10% left, which only increases the success rate by 6%.
It seems that it is better not to make coordinates for now, but to increase the success rate of alchemy first.
At this time, Ji Chaoyang suddenly made a voice call to him.
The first words he said made Xu Xin raise his eyebrows.
"Xu Xin, tomorrow, you, me, Li Wenxi, and Qi Xuefei, let's meet together. They are not very strong in combat, and we can just help them deal with the enemies that may be around them."
Thank you [I don’t like fish] for the reward of 600 starting coins, thank you for your support! Thank you!
Friends, three chapters are over 3,000 words, which is the limit. It can be considered a breakthrough update, right? OVO
These chapters are all settings. It made my head hurt to write them. I changed them again and again. They might be a bit boring, but they are all important settings and I had to write them.
But don’t worry, we’ll start a new exploration tomorrow!
