Zhao Xiaochuan: "Is Miss Wen Xi so rich? How deep are you hiding it?"
Wen Guixin: "There seems to be a deeper friendship between Xu Xin and Wen Xi~"
Li Wenxi: "No way, Sister Gui Xin, don't talk nonsense..."
Qin Yunlong: "Is this black gold the raw material for the lightning rod you just mentioned?"
Li Wenxi: "That's right. I have more materials now. I can make one for each of you."
Ji Chaoyang: "It's not raining now, so we don't need lightning rods for now. Let's prioritize making the coordinates."
Zhao Xiaochuan: "Then should we first determine our respective positions and deal with the coordinate problem, or should we expand directly?"
Ji Chaoyang: "At the same time. Xu Xin and Li Wenxi will handle the coordinates. I am close and can help. Your mission is to first find out the surrounding situation, kill or conquer people in other surrounding areas, and ensure that the area around your protected area is safe."
Xu Xin also added: "That's right, there is no need to consider the ideas of these people from other areas. If he is willing to work, let him come. If not, then kill him!"
Everyone among the explorers agreed with the plan proposed by Xu Xin.
Ji Chaoyang: "We still need some preparation. I will explain the whole story 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 go ahead. It's already dark today, and we've been busy all day, so it's time to take a break. Let's officially start the action tomorrow."
After exiting the Explorer, Xu Xin breathed a sigh of relief.
I looked at the time and it was still early for bed.
He was going to do some artistic creation.
After all, if you want to create coordinates, the first problem you need to overcome is the pitiful success rate of alchemy.
He didn't know what the success rate of the coordinates was, but it would definitely not be high, so he now needed more decoration and more amplification points to add to the alchemy room.
Otherwise, if the coordinate production fails, the wasted materials will be huge.
That’s forty pieces of blue-level materials!
No matter how rich Li Wenxi was, he probably couldn't afford his waste.
At this time, Li Wenxi sent him a video.
Her expression was a little worried, and it was the first time Xu Xin saw her with this expression.
"Xu Xin, are we really going to kill people from other areas? I don't think I'm suitable for this kind of thing. My fighting ability is not as strong as yours. If I meet other people, I may not be able to defeat them..." She spoke in a low voice, a little afraid that Xu Xin would blame her.
Xu Xin was speechless. This was something he had never considered.
Indeed, not everyone likes fighting, and Li Wenxi obviously doesn't like it. Moreover, her ability is related to ore, and it really doesn't enhance her combat power much.
"Don't worry, you're nearby. The tree houses around me have been cleared. I can help you tomorrow."
There are no enemies around him now, and he was also going to look for enemies near other survivors in the same area, so he could help Li Wenxi.
"Really? Oh? Then then... can we meet tomorrow?" Li Wenxi suddenly became nervous and smoothed her hair with her hand.
Xu Xin was speechless: "Videoing all day, what difference does it make whether we meet or not?"
"Of course!" Li Wenxi glared at him, and then his expression became a little hesitant, as if he wanted to say something.
"What's wrong?" Xu Xin asked when he saw that she was a little embarrassed.
"Hmm... nothing. Oh, let's not talk about this. Xu Xin, guess what I found today!" Li Wenxi swept away his previous worries and smiled again.
"Have you discovered any new minerals?" Xu Xin thought of what she had said before.
"Hey, I found a gold mine! Ding ding, gold! nuggets!" Li Wenxi moved his body away, revealing several golden nuggets behind him.
Gold mine
Gold!
Oh shit!
A real rich woman!
Among the raw materials for making his universal alchemical material is gold dust, which can replace black gold dust.
Moreover, gold has many uses beyond this.
Gold is much more stable than other metals, has good conductivity, is soft and easy to process. On Earth, the modern electronics industry is completely inseparable from gold. Some people purchase 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, can effectively reflect visible light and resist cosmic rays, and its reflection capacity for infrared rays reaches 98.44%. Therefore, gold is also widely used in the aerospace industry. A gold-plated layer is to a satellite or spacecraft what the atmosphere is to humans.
Of course, for Xu Xin now, this role is a bit outrageous just to say it out loud.
But the role of conductivity cannot be ignored!
"Can you show me one?" Xu Xin immediately put the coordinates out of his mind. He couldn't wait to know if electrical appliances could be made with gold! Could he enter the electrical appliance age
"Okay, here you go." Li Wenxi sent him the transaction directly.
Xu Xin clicked to agree, and a heavy nugget of gold immediately appeared in his hand. Even with his current strength, he could hardly hold it firmly.
Gold nugget (blue): A very stable metal nugget with excellent conductivity, soft texture and easy processing. It is an essential material for some electrical appliances.
Electrical appliances!
Xu Xin immediately came to his production room on the second floor and checked the production list on his basic electrical production table.
But the result disappointed him greatly.
There are no new appliances on the list.
It seems that copper and silver are still needed to make electrical appliances.
Although gold has strong conductivity, it cannot replace these two metals. And judging from the name of this production table, the basic electrical production table, the electrical appliances are also relatively basic, and I am afraid that gold may not be used.
Unexpectedly, Li Wenxi did not find copper and silver, but found gold first.
"But if that's the case, then gold is of no use..." Xu Xin murmured.
He was still watching the video, so Li Wenxi could see his expression clearly. When Li Wenxi heard him say that, she naturally knew that gold bars could not 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 tried 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 said with her hands on her hips, "Gold can be used as currency!"
currency
"We all have the idea of forming a big organization. If we continue to barter, it would be very unprofessional! Then, it will be time for gold bars to come out! When we are stable, we can issue gold coins ourselves!"
She does have some truth in what she said.
The survivors now are all engaging in the most primitive 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 exchanged.
There are many unfavorable factors in such transactions, which will lead to an extremely chaotic market. If an organization of 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 come, and how many people will die. In troubled times, gold is like dirt, and this is not just a casual statement.
Even though the mysterious voice had said that their survival rate would be greatly improved in the second stage, he did not dare to think about such a thing. He could only wait until later to see if he could completely stabilize before considering this aspect.
He did not discourage Li Wenxi's enthusiasm. He did not know much about economics, so he asked, "Then, if we really want to issue currency in the future, will you be responsible for it?"
"Ah?" Li Wenxi was also stunned and waved his hands. "I don't understand these things. I was just talking casually. Oh, there must be talents who are proficient in economics in the organization by then. Just leave it to them."
Xu Xin smiled and said, “There is still a long way to go.”
However, with the gold nuggets, the pressure on his refining universal alchemical materials was much less, which was always a good thing.
"How many steel blocks do you have now? I want to make a coordinate to try first."
"Okay, I'll give you the materials!"
Li Wenxi traded him all the materials needed to make a coordinate at once.
Ten pieces of Steel Blocks (blue), ten pieces of Iron Blocks (blue), and ten pieces of Black Gold Blocks (blue).
"Gold nuggets can replace black gold nuggets. If there is no black gold, gold nuggets can be used instead." Xu Xin told Li Wenxi.
"Oh, okay. Well, I don't have a lot of gold nuggets. Let's use black gold first. I mined a lot of black gold last time."
"Okay, I'll give it a try."
"Yeah. Um... Xu Xin, will you really come tomorrow? I should be just to the east of you."
"Have you forgotten my Silver King? I'm afraid it won't take me more than half an hour to get to your place."
"Really? Then I'm relieved! Hey, see you tomorrow!"
After getting the materials from Li Wenxi, Xu Xin came to the alchemy room.
He first made all ten sets of universal alchemical materials, and then clicked on the coordinates. He wanted to see what the success rate of refining was.
Coordinates are about to be created, success rate is 56% (50% + 6%), do you want to continue
Sure enough, the basic success rate was still 50%. The decoration increase points he allocated on the coordinates were 60%. When added to the success rate, only 10% was left, which only increased the success rate by 6%.
It seems that we should not make the coordinates for now, but increase the success rate of alchemy first.
At this moment, Ji Chaoyang suddenly called him.
The first thing he said made Xu Xin raise an eyebrow.
"Xu Xin, tomorrow, you, me, Li Wenxi, and Qi Xuefei, let's meet together. The two of them are not very strong in combat, so we can help them deal with any enemies that may be around them."
