Arcane Lord

Returning to the Floating City, Sha Duo came to the Force of Order Laboratory. All the soldiers who had previously cooperated with the experiment here have now left. Of course, this does not mean that the experiment is over, but that it has entered a larger-scale experimental stage.

In addition to the twenty soldiers found previously, the entire Territorial Guard has been included in the scope of the experiment. During the experiment, their wages will be paid in the form of virtual currency to the balance on their personal ID cards.

In order to allow these virtual balances to be consumed, Xia Duo set up a gold coin exchange point in the barracks, where the balance can be directly exchanged for gold coins.

On the other hand, he has also selected multiple local merchants to cooperate. Soldiers can use virtual balances to settle accounts when they go to make purchases, and the virtual currency received by merchants can be exchanged for gold coins at the barracks or used for tax deductions.

The scope of this experiment or test has been slightly expanded, but for the entire territory, the number of people involved is still an absolute minority.

It's just a virtual balance. Once users trust it, it will definitely be much more convenient than carrying coins all day long.

So on the second day after the test started, people kept asking the Government Affairs Department to apply to join the test list. Xia Duo did not agree for the time being, because the current test is only the second phase, and there will be at least the third and fourth phases later!

It won’t be too late to expand the scope of testing by then.

In the third stage, Xia Duo is preparing to use a formal official currency, commonly known as blue gold coins, and call the denomination value "yuan". In the third stage, only 1 yuan, 2 yuan, 5 yuan, and 10 yuan will be opened. , the tentative exchange rate is 1 yuan to 1 gold coin.

Although the price of goods in Daxia Territory is relatively high, gold coins are still a larger unit of measurement, silver coins in the territory are still in circulation in large quantities, and there are even copper coins, but there are very few.

Therefore, in the future, there will inevitably be monetary units under the "yuan", such as the "corner". Xia Duo has even thought about it. In the future, the physical currency with the "corner" as the unit will be made into a regular polygon with edges and corners. .

At this stage, new ID cards will also be replaced simultaneously, but the virtual balance function is only open to testers and does not involve all citizens.

The initial testing scope of the third phase of virtual balance is the same as the second phase, which is the current phase. This phase will expand the number of testers, but it will not actively promote it. It will only accept those who actively apply to join.

Only in the fourth stage will the virtual balance be opened to all official citizens. If it was a closed beta before, then it will be a public beta in this stage.

There is no clear boundary between the public beta and the official opening. It will always be in the fourth stage. As for when it will reach the next stage, it may have to wait for people outside the territory to apply.

The second phase of testing is currently going very smoothly, and the territorial guards and merchants are very satisfied with it. Otherwise, no one else would have heard about this and applied to the Government Affairs Department to join the test.

Only when good things happen will people want to join. If it's bad things, it's too late to hide. How can you join in!

…

Sha Duo came to the Force of Order Laboratory at this moment to confirm with Ai Burke the retention status of the logo on the blue gold coin. According to the plan, the blue gold coin will be officially launched next month. If the retention status of the currency logo is not fully understood, , which may undermine the confidence of the people in the new currency!

Xia Duo is very concerned about this matter. In this short period of time, although he has focused more on analyzing the [Realm Protection] war weapon, he must come to the Power of Order Laboratory every day. .

Entering the main experimental area inside the laboratory, Xia Duo walked quickly to Ai Burke and asked with concern: "Are there any new changes in those blue gold coins today?"

"not at all!"

Aiboke did not stop his experiments because of Sha Duo's arrival. He has now focused most of his energy on the power of order spell system at night. As for the blue gold coin experiment, he only did it when he had a rest.

In his opinion, the current currency markings are quite complete. This is not a conclusion easily drawn from the perspective of a bystander, but a professional judgment made as an actual participant or even the leader of the relevant experiments.

"I think the logo on the blue gold coin is perfect enough. At least in the laboratory stage, it can only be tested to this extent. The rest can be studied after a large amount of circulation is collected and data is collected. And you are not saying that the blue gold coin is circulating more and more. The more signs there are, the more stable it is? At what stage is it, there is no need to be so anxious!”

"Indeed, I am concerned and confused. Since you said so, the experiment at this stage ends here. We will wait until the currency is updated next month."

Sha Duo agreed with Ai Boke's statement. Just when he was about to leave, Ai Boke stopped him again, "By the way, I almost forgot. Go take a look at the logo loader. The structure inside needs to be improved. Now there will always be one or two shifts for every thousand logos loaded.”

"I'll take a look, but I've already guessed the reason for the situation you mentioned. It should be that you invested too many blue gold coins at one time, which squeezed the bottom. I think you may have joined in at once. 500 blue gold coins.”

Judging from the frequency of misprinted logos reported by Eberk, one thousand logos correspond to 500 blue gold coins (with logos on both sides). On average, there will be several misprinted logos for 500 gold coins. It can’t be such a coincidence. !

Sha Duo instinctively thought of Ai Burke's operating habits. When he said this, Ai Burke was stunned. He thought about it carefully and confirmed Xia Duo's guess:

"It should be caused by me putting too many blue gold coins into the machine at one time, so don't look at it. Just invest more in the future."

"That won't work. I still have to go and take a look. 500 is not a large amount. In order to make it easier to load the logo in the future, I still have to find a way to improve it. There should be no problem with my design itself. The problem lies in the actual production. The machine cannot meet the design expectations, which is an engineering problem.”

For Xia Duo, engineering problems are the most troublesome, because it means that improvements need to be made through repeated experiments. On the contrary, it is a design problem. As long as the design flaws are found and corrected, it will be fine.

Many engineering problems do not have a clear defect, but are systemic problems that are the result of errors from many aspects.

Xia Duo's solution is also very simple. First, determine whether adding 500 pieces at a time will cause problems. If so, there is no need to modify the machine, but just add an additional feeding device.

In addition, you can add a few more machines to the machine itself, so you don’t have to worry about loading efficiency for at least a while.

With this in mind, Xia Duo quickly left the main experimental area again.
