144 Take corn as wages

Ma Fan took his hand in front of him and observed it with the light from the bonfire not far away. He found that his hands were all milky white, like coconut juice!

After hesitating for a while, Ma Fan put his fingers into his mouth and licked them, his eyes lit up: "It's so sweet!"

A thin flint blade was pulled out from the animal skin belt around her waist, and Ma Fan reached out to cut a piece of the corn stalk in A Dai's claws. He saw that grains of milky white slurry began to seep out from the section. He stuck out his tongue and licked it. A rich corn fragrance rushed into his lungs, and it was so sweet that it made people stumble and almost caught up with honey!

This sweetness is not the kind of sweetness that is rich and a little greasy when eating sugar, but is the natural sweetness of the plant. Like sugar cane specially used to squeeze sugar, although the sugar content is extremely high, it is not difficult to accept.

"Good thing!" Ma Fan used a flint knife to cut the hard green skin outside the corn stalk. The inside was snow-white, like a sponge, and it was full of sticky milky white sweet slurry. He dug a piece and put it in his mouth to chew it. It tasted very similar to sugarcane, but the core slurry did not have the hard residue of sugarcane. After chewing it, it would shrink into a small ball, which shows how much sweet slurry it is full of!

It seems that the corn after the mutation is really full of treasures. The corn stalks can be used to juic and boiled sugar. No wonder the corn cobs produced are so sweet. The love straws are full of sweet slurry. So how delicious can the corn be?

It seems that the harvesting plan needs to be changed. Ben Lai Mafan planned to cut down these corn stalks directly like logging, and then pick the corn cobs. Naturally, it will not do this now. You have to dig them up and save the corn stalks after picking off the corn cobs to juice.

Looking at the cornfield that was two or three stories long and tall, Ma Fan quickly turned around and shouted: "Thunder Cloud! Immediately send someone to notify the fat Zhang Fei of the base! Let him go to the base administrative center to exchange for a large number of resource warehouse modules and send it here!"

Ma Fan suddenly let out a scream, and the Kuiwu brother who was eating corn was almost choking to death. He lashed his chest for a while before swallowing the corn kernels blocked in his throat. He just didn't know that he could not digest it. Don't let it be one by one when it was pulled out tomorrow...

Brother Trouble often has some inexplicable orders. Everyone is used to it. Lei Yun didn't ask what to do if he had to exchange so many resource warehouses to send it to Dongtian Farm. He just asked in confusion: "How many do you want?"

A resource warehouse module can contribute 5 contributions, and it only has the capacity of ※sup3;. Could it be that I plan to store the corn on the spot? In that case, not only will I have to buy the resource warehouse module, but I also have to build it into a larger camp, otherwise I will not be able to stop other players. Once someone comes to grab the grain and attack the administrative hall of Dongtian Farm, it will all belong to others.

After a glance, he looked up at the endless corn field and said firmly: "How much can you change it!" Just kidding, corn cobs are expected to be 750,000 tons, so how much corn stalks are there? Their contributions are still 4.5 million, and it will be only ※sup3; the storage space can only be as much as you can!

Considering that it is impossible to harvest corn fields of this size in a short time with the population of 30,000 and about 20,000 NPC workers in Dongtian Town. Even if it is harvested, it will not be possible to transport them. So Ma Fan considered it and decided to apply for NPC workers directly from the No. 1 Forward Base through the "matrix system"!

If so much corn is left to eat, players in Quandongtian Town don’t know that they will eat it until the Year of the Monkey and Horse Month, and they cannot store it. In the end, they can only be used for contributions or for other purposes.

So it is better to discuss with Comrade Qian Laoc, the commander of No. 1, and ask him to send the existing NPC workers at the base to help with harvesting and transportation, and the contribution required is directly replaced by corn and use corn as wages.

Don’t forget that although "Alien World" is known as a virtual reality online game, its authenticity is absolutely "real". It is not like traditional online games that can only be carried out according to the set procedures. On the premise of ensuring the interests of the base, it can often be adapted!

However, Ma Fan is not good at talking about business with others, so he still has to leave this matter to the unscrupulous businessman, Pang Zhang Fei. I believe there is no problem.

Because what is the base shortage at present? Isn’t it just food? Qian Lao C and other branches of the CEO and the base commanders also have the task of developing the base. With food, the base can accommodate more players. With more players, the base can develop. Only when the base develops can the territory of the base No. 1 advance base be expanded outward, in order to exchange for greater benefits.

How to say, the relationship between the current base and the player camp is like a relationship between a acquirer and a customer. If the base needs some kind of materials, the contribution reward of certain materials will be increased accordingly to attract players to exchange for contributions. When the customer has a lot of materials that the acquirer urgently needs, do you think he will take the initiative to acquire?

Currently, the number of players in the No. 1 Forward Base is 270,000, while the number of NPC workers is as high as 3 million. This is due to the limitations of the consumption of culture medium reserves in the base.

Don’t think that NPC workers will stay in the base and consume resources when they are not working. In that case, it is better to directly open login restrictions to allow more players to enter "Alien World". When NPC workers have no work to work, they will not stay in "Alien World". Their replicas will return to the training cabin and be placed like cans. When they need to enter "Alien World", they will contact them through the earth and call them to "go online".

When the replica of the npc laborer is dormant in the training chamber, the physiological function is almost stagnant. The culture medium that needs to be consumed is very small, which can only ensure the vitality of the replica. This can ensure the low consumption and high number of Npc usage rate. If the consumption of npc is as much as that of the players, the base cannot afford it.

The negotiation between Zhang Fei and Qian Laoc was finally completed at the cost of 30% of the harvest. The base sent 100,000 NPC workers to help Dongtian Town harvest corn and undertake transportation.

As the harvest day approaches, Ma Fan and his team not only increase the garrison of the cornfield, they also rushed to work and created a large number of wood "juicers"!

There is no need to explain what this wood "juicer" is used for. Its roughly shape is that after two trees are peeled, the polished smooth trunks are fixed to the rack one by one, forming two "rollers" with very small gaps. There is a rudder-like roulette on each side, which drives the rolls to rotate by four players, one left and one right.

In this way, the corn slurry that is full of can be squeezed into the whole tree by feeding the corn stalks.

Below the roll, a wooden box for collecting sweet pulp and a long row of wooden canals were also made. When the corn sweet pulp is squeezed out, it falls into the wooden box and then flows along the wooden canal into the resource warehouse connected to the wooden canal.

※Sup3; The resource warehouse for 750,000 tons of corn is definitely not enough, but it should be enough to just use it to hold corn sweet slurry. Moreover, Ma Fan also arranged personnel to raise rows of pottery jars to boil corn candy while squeezing the juice!

When starting the pottery urn, we need to mention the pottery factory in the manufacturing camp in Dongtian Town. Ma Fan and his team sent people to transport the clay dug from the clay mine found to the manufacturing camp by wooden trucks. Then, guided by the "senior technicians" who could make pottery, several earthen kilns for burning pottery and tried to fire some earthen pottery. Although the too exquisite utensils could not be made due to technology and materials and tools, some large urns, pottery pots, pottery Wan and other things could still be fired. After a few kilns in the early stage, the players in Dongtian Town finally left the era of using clam shell bowls and wooden bowls, and used pottery representing the entry of the civilization era.

Although the large pots, large pots and urns are a little fragile, they are not distressed to use because they are made by themselves. So while waiting for the corn to mature, Mafan asked the manufacturing camp to work overtime to cook a large number of large pottery jars to be used to boil corn candy.

As the corn matures, tens of NPC workers set out from the base and set off to Dongtian Farm on the edge of the southern grasslands, which attracted a large number of players to follow in curiosity. Due to the intervention of the base, those players who had originally planned secretly and wandered around Dongtian Farm all day could only watch the brigade of NPC workers crowing the 1,500 acres of cornfields in a mess!

At this time, go up to grab grain? The players in Dongtian Town cannot command NPC labor battles, but it does not mean that the base commander cannot command. Once it interferes with the major grain storage affairs of the base, the commander will start a fire and order NPC laborers to have a "peasant uprising" or something. It is still a trivial matter to step on them all into photos. I guess they have to bear the negative honor of "bad reputation", and maybe they have to deduct contributions!

This situation caused the players who had finally spent a lot of effort to prepare for the war to collapse on the spot. Preparing for combat also requires money? In order to fight back, many of them have already taken all their wealth to arm their players. Do you need to buy a stone axe? Do you need to buy a bow and arrow?

But now he punched the empty space, and he didn't even get anything if he lost money!

If this battle cannot begin, then they will lose all their money. Many team leaders of the player group have begun to see the minds of players who have consumed their contributions and resources, and have no food or drink, revolt and devour their leaders alive.

Fortunately, the leaders of some player groups are not so stupid that they are not flexible. Since they can't fight, they have to make some money back, right? So, the player groups sent envoys to contact Dongtian Town, and asked with a saliva whether they needed labor or brought their own tools, and they didn't have any money. Just give some corn on the cob when paying the wages!
