Bring Interstellar to the end of the world

Chapter 164 Philanthropists

Comparing the similarities and differences between playing Smasher and Widow Ray, Tang Yan thought of an answer that could explain the behavior of the system.

StarCraft is an RTS game. Because of balance issues, the version is constantly updated and the settings are changed frequently.The Widow Mine's introduction in the Heart of the Swarm expansion reveals it to be a single-use consumable that creates a tactical nuke-sized explosion by overloading the internal fusion reactor.However, the game developed to the later stage of the Heart of the Swarm expansion, and the Widow Thunder became a reusable combat unit in the game.

Clearly, game makers are eating books again.

In order to integrate the game data, the special version of the StarCraft system hosted by Tang Yan's body had to optimize the element framework and divide it into two independent units, namely the Widow Mine and the Crusher.

As a one-time consumable, the widow mine costs 2400 bonus points.

The Crusher is a normal combat unit and costs 18200 bonus points.

18200 Crusher, 21000 Hellion Chariot.

Moreover, the usage of these two weapons is similar to that of Type 5-4 Armored Combat Suits and Firebat Special Powered Armor. Once the raw materials or fuel are exhausted, a certain amount of reward points needs to be consumed to resupply. The former costs 700 and the latter costs 400.

Sure enough, the more advanced the combat unit, the higher the manpower, material and financial resources required for maintenance.

Just like after returning from the sea, repairing the SCV and Reaper armor when fighting against the mud crab swarm will cost 650 bonus points in one go.

Having an artifact level like the system made him feel a lot of pressure. Just imagine how much effort people and organizations without system assistance need to put in to maintain heavy weapons. armored vehicles and tanks, but no one wants to repair them.

Like Teshima's Type 56 light frigate, it can only afford one with the strength of the entire island.

After confirming the two new elements, Tang Yan took a deep breath, calmed down his restless mood, and walked towards the outside of the office building.

night time.

The workers of the canned sea fish production line finished their busy day and went to the canteen on the west side of the factory to eat.

Some people noticed that the stewed sea fish soup was slightly green, and there was something like mushroom fragments floating between the fish meat and the sparse condiments.

People in the Western Alliance are very fond of seafood. Because it is located inland, the rain is far less abundant than in coastal areas. Affected by the nuclear war, many freshwater fish have become extinct. The number of aquatic products that can be used as food has dropped sharply, so that seafood has become a rare ingredient. , only those who live a prosperous life can afford to buy some from time to time to improve their lives. This is why the canned sea fish produced by Maxim's Cannery is in short supply in the Western Alliance and has become a foreign exchange manufacturing machine in Gem City.

However, for people living in Gem City and its surrounding areas, marine products are not rare. The rich would rather spend money to buy meat from mutant double-headed cows and radiated chickens than fish from the sea. First, because marine fish are common and easy to obtain, and second, because the radiation index is high, you cannot eat too much.

In the past, some sea cabbage pickled in the kitchen always left some, which shows that the dish is not very popular. Although there will be no leftovers of stewed sea fish, it will never be like today. voters.

General Wang was standing at the counter with a large spoon for rice, staring at the laborers fiercely.

He is the cook of the Pandaren Legion, and a close friend of Zang Feng and Tang Yan. Usually, he would not interfere with the canteen of Maxim Cannery, but today is different. He came here to play a guest role as the master chef.

No one cared about his greasy horizontal face. People smiled and passed bowls and plates, staring at the metal pot with hot and anxious eyes, as if they were afraid that the people in front would divide all the contents, and when they arrived, there was nothing. up.

"Line up well, don't rush, don't rush, if anyone breaks the rules, I will tell Tang Yan that I won't improve the food for you again."

General Wang's shouts mixed with noisy discussions reached everyone's ears.

The laborers would not say anything in front of him. Many people who brought the food to the table and started to eat scolded him for holding chicken feathers as arrows. He was obviously a cook, but he really regarded himself as a general.

Deputy head Tang saw that they worked hard to improve everyone's food. It was because deputy head Tang had a good heart and it was none of his business.

Dishes made from sea fish are not available every day, but they are not uncommon and you can always have a bowl of them every three to five days.This kind of meal arrangement is much better than when Huang Lei took power, which shows that Comrade Jiao is a good leader who is considerate of his subordinates.

The reason why they are so happy today, looking at the metal pots containing sea fish, is because there are luminescent fungi in them. It improves the taste of food secondarily. The most important thing is that it can help human beings resist radiation and expel harmful substances from the body. substances to reduce the probability of radiation sickness.

It is rumored that Tang Yan found a batch of luminescent fungi when he went out a few days ago, and this is how the current scene happened.

What are Luminescent Fungi?That is the food version of anti-radiation Ning, which is definitely the hard stuff in the wasteland, and even the rich have no possibility to eat them as a home-cooked dish.With such precious ingredients, deputy head Tang was willing to use them to improve the food for these workers.

A lot of people don't understand what that guy is thinking.

………………

Cui Haiyang is an electrician in the canning factory. Every day after the production line is shut down, he has to go to the factory to check whether there are any safety hazards such as forgetting to turn off the machine and forgetting to put away the power cord.

Today was the same as usual, after eating, he put on a leather jacket and set off with a high-power flashlight on his shoulders.

After checking the packaging equipment and walking forward along the conveyor belt, he suddenly heard a conversation diagonally opposite.

The identity of the conversation partner is easy to identify, because the night cannot hide the fire light from the flame thruster.

It was Comrade Jiao and Tang Yan.

"Are you sure you want to use 0.5 diamond coins per can as the ex-factory price?"

Comrade Jiao said: "Yes, I am sure."

"..." Tang Yan fell into deep thought.

Cui Haiyang almost threw the flashlight in his hand to the ground.As an old employee of the canning factory, he has a general understanding of the import price of sea fish, workers' wages, equipment maintenance costs and other expenses. There may be some discrepancies with the facts, but the gap will not be great.

The price of mutated double-headed beef in Baoshi City is about 7 diamond coins per catty. When Huang Lei was in power, the ex-factory price for half-catty canned sea fish was 0.75 per can.

As a ready-to-eat product, it has won unanimous praise from the peninsula region and the Western Union market, because its existence allows the wastelanders who are struggling at the bottom to eat meat, and allows people in the inland areas to taste the taste of seafood.

Now that Tang Yan occupies the Maxim Cannery and Comrade Jiao becomes the actual manager, they did not continue Huang Lei's pricing, but cut off one-third of the original pricing at one go. This... This is really incomprehensible.

The ex-factory price of 0.5 diamond coins, excluding materials, labor, wear and tear, etc., makes no money at all.

Cui Haiyang couldn't understand why Comrade Jiao did this.

Is it possible...to use a lower price to restore the reputation?

At this moment, Tang Yan said something that almost made him exclaim.

"Okay, if the exit price of 0.5 can maintain the livelihood of the cannery, then let's continue to do so at this price in the future."

Not to save the reputation and win the confidence of consumers!It was actually a long-term plan.

Cui Haiyang felt that either he was hallucinating, or Tang Yan and Comrade Jiao's brains were broken. Can the factory make a profit if it continues to do so?If there is no profit, why did those few people risk their lives to kill Luo Zuoming?Is it because you want to come to Maxim’s Cannery to do charity?
Is there a philanthropist in the wasteland world?
Comrade Jiao asked the question in his heart.

"Hey, a few days ago you used robots instead of humans to produce canned food. Why is there such a change now?"

Tang Fang thought for a while and said, "Every time the price of canned sea fish is lowered by a dime, many families will be saved. Adults can survive and children can grow up healthily. My view of money has always been that enough is enough. Recently, the Bounty Hunters Guild will introduce me to a business, as long as the transaction is successful, the money earned will be enough to support the Pandaren Legion's expenses for a year."

Comrade Jiao said: "One year...what about after that year?"

Tang Yan said: "If all the business activities you host go well, the canned sea fish must have reopened the Western Union market a year later, and even sold to farther places, which will definitely drive the new canned food for the rich to quickly occupy the market. Well, I'd rather work on the rich than on the money of the poor."

Comrade Jiao said: "You are so kind."

Tang Yan said: "No, what you said last time woke me up. In return, you can use Maxim Cannery to realize your ambitions."

After saying this, Tang Yan turned around and left the circular corridor erected with iron plates on the second floor of the factory building, walking away with a sound of treading.

Comrade Jiao watched his back and said, "Please allow me to thank you for your generosity on behalf of the poor people who will benefit from this decision."

Deputy Head Tang didn't turn his head back, and walked downstairs while raising his arms and waving. The distant lights left a long shadow behind him.

Comrade Jiao turned around and walked in another direction, disappearing into the manager's office not far away.

Cui Haiyang blinked, thinking that he had discovered something extraordinary.

Tang Yan... When did he change his gender?

He suddenly heard what happened outside the gate a few days ago. He heard that several rural children who were persecuted by Yuancheng people came here to seek help.

Did the tragic experience of those teenagers touch the softest heartstrings of that person?
I heard...he didn't kill Zang Feng at the beginning, it was also because of Lei Na's relationship.

It turns out...it turns out that this guy is far from being as cold and heartless as his usual cold face. Under his indifferent appearance, he also has a normal heart.

………………

On the third day, the workers at Maxim’s Cannery heard two numbers, 0.5 and 1.

The former is the predetermined ex-factory price of canned sea fish, and the latter is a big deal that the Pandaren Legion is about to usher in.

Of course, workers don't care much about the latter data, they care more about the former data.Although it was Cui Haiyang's drunken talk, but this person has never been in the habit of talking big. Since he said that he heard the conversation between Tang Yan and Comrade Jiao, it must be true.

What does Tang Yan's decision mean?
It means that he wants to supply the canned sea fish produced by the labor service production line to the residents of Gem City on the premise of not making money, but just balancing expenses!

There is no doubt that this is doing charity.

Charity in the Wasteland is precious and difficult to do.

For them, who have the dual identities of cannery workers and residents of Gem City, they are shocked and grateful.

You must know that Tang Yan was still a mercenary leader who was shouting and shouting and advocating military conquest more than a month ago. After more than a month, he became an entrepreneur with a sense of responsibility and justice.

Recalling the meal that added glowing fungus the night before yesterday, the guy who often pushed Leina around the factory area, seemingly idle and content with the status quo, suddenly became tall and thick in the hearts of everyone.

He may look indifferent and repulsive, but in fact he has a good heart, foresight and sense of social responsibility.

On the fourth day, these two figures spread from Maxim's Cannery to Gemstone City. People from the lower class to the wealthy class were dumbfounded, unable to understand what Tang Yan was thinking.

He was the one who demanded "land ceding and compensation" from Gem City. He was the one who wanted to use robots to replace human labor after acquiring the Maxim's Cannery. It was he who gave Comrade Jiao a probation period. He is also the one who set the ex-factory price of 0.5 diamond coins.

How this kid's mind is so wild, sometimes in the east and sometimes in the west, it is completely confusing, and it is impossible to judge with common sense.

In any case, whether he suddenly became enlightened or won sympathy, the benefits brought to the people of Gemstone City by the ex-factory price lower than when Huang Lei was in power are tangible.

Huang Lei and Luo Zuoming have been dead for a month or so. Maxim’s canned food has been suspended for a period of time. After the scandal broke out, many people chose to dispose of Maxim’s canned food to vent their anger. Merchants took the opportunity to raise prices, and those who could afford to eat from time to time could not afford it, and those who could not afford it lost the courage to stand outside the counter and take a look.

Only then did people wake up to the fact that the existence of Maxim's canned food has the effect of balancing the market and suppressing prices. Once this high-quality and cheap product disappears, those profiteers will not hesitate to increase the price of similar items.

Now Tang Yan sets the ex-factory price of canned sea fish produced by Maxim’s Canned Food Factory at 0.5 diamond coins, and does not mention whether the quality of the product can be guaranteed. As long as it can be successfully put on the market, it will inevitably force profiteers and butchers to reduce prices and make profits, so as to benefit the residents of the city.

On the third day after the news of the new low ex-factory price of Maxim brand canned sea fish was widely spread in the city, a storefront in the food area of ​​the bazaar was replaced with a new signboard.

While the original dealer was still waiting on the sidelines, Tang Yan selected five people from the Pandaren Legion and hired two more people with store opening experience to start promoting canned marine fish in the form of factory direct sales at the Gem City Market.

　By the way, two days ago, I seemed to see a chapter to be pushed in the book review. The title of the book should be the general of the Federation, orthodox Fallout 4 and Humanities. If you are interested, you can pay attention to it.
