Falling into the Cretaceous

Chapter 93 The Night Before the Expedition

The role of the savage A-K was made deeply understood by everyone for the first time.

At first, they didn't quite understand Shen Ye's behavior of taming the wild men, but they didn't want to question their leader's actions.

Now they realize Shen Ye's foresight.

Every bite they ate was the result of Shen Ye's wisdom and hard work; this meal was enough to shut up those who were dissatisfied with the hierarchical system.

The dinosaur egg pancakes were so much tastier than the sour little bull dinosaur meat. Every bite was fragrant and delicious, requiring no chewing or tearing. The texture was so good that they couldn't stop eating them.

Unfortunately, they only fried ten dinosaur eggs today.

The remaining twenty-eight were all stored away as supplies; if we wanted to eat them in the future, we would have to exchange them for currency.

Currency was earned through work points.

Work points are equivalent to equity stakes.

Because the number of work points issued is equal to the team's total asset share.

Therefore, it is necessary to introduce the quantity theory of money and the price discovery mechanism in order to maintain macroeconomic balance, which is the "main gate" to prevent collapse.

Macroeconomic balance, or Fisher equation MV=PQ

Currency in circulation * velocity of circulation = average price of goods * total quantity of goods.

That alone is not enough, because a single fixed exchange rate ignores the "diminishing marginal utility". For example, if everyone frantically buys dinosaur eggs, leaving a bunch of ferns behind, it will also lead to economic imbalance in this small society.

Therefore, we should also consider introducing internal bidding and residual claim theory.

Shen Ye had no understanding of these complex economic issues and therefore could not get involved.

Therefore, today we only discussed the system, but Zhang Qiming still has a lot of work to do in terms of its implementation.

Now, Zhang Qiming has found blacksmith Li and they are discussing the production of currency.

Of course, they couldn't make real modern currency. They discussed using tools to cut the airplane skin into pieces of metal the size of coins, and then stamping them with steel stamps. Blacksmith Li had a complete set of letter and number stamps in his toolbox.

The corresponding denomination and anti-counterfeiting serial number can be stamped on a "coin".

According to Zhang Qiming's calculations, their initial currency printing must reach 20,000 yuan, and the issuance cycle is 15 days. If the total output increases, more currency will need to be printed.

Zhang Qiming decided to issue denominations of 100 yuan, 50 yuan, 10 yuan, and 1 yuan.

100 coins were issued for 100 yuan, 150 coins for 50 yuan, 200 coins for 10 yuan, and 500 coins for 1 yuan.

Work points do not need to be issued; they can be quantified and recorded based on working hours and the value created.

Fifteen days later, you can collect the issued currency based on your work points.

In this way, the economy of a small society has begun to take shape.

All day today, blacksmith Li was cutting the outer layer of the coin, while Zhang Qiming designed four coin denominations, with the larger the denomination, the larger the coin's area.

Of course, it's impossible to create currency in a single day.

This matter will take another two or three days to complete.

Today, most people understand how this society works; currency and work points are hard currency.

After dinner.

Everything remained the same, seemingly the same as before, yet different.

Choi Jung-seok convened a final tactical meeting at the stone slope with all those who would be involved in tomorrow's battle, ensuring that everyone understood their position and role.

Those participating in this operation included Mike, Jack, a reporter, a photographer, Li Zimei, Zhou Jian, Shen Ye, Cui Zhengxi, and Yeren A.

K, a total of nine people.

Apart from Li Zimei and Zhou Jian, who are both "snipers," everyone else is a warrior.

During the day, Cui Zhengxi conducted special combat training for all the soldiers.

Besides Shen Ye and Cui Zhengxi's guns, their weapons included spears and daggers, and their combat training mainly focused on spears and daggers.

Cui Zhengxi's fighting skills are very powerful; every move is deadly, and there are absolutely no superfluous movements.

This made Shen Ye wonder if Cui Zhengxi had been an assassin before, given his terrifying scars; it was indeed possible.

However, the profession of assassin is far too far removed from reality, so far removed that it seems as if it doesn't actually exist in the world.

However, if he is an agent of a certain country who fled to country M, then that's possible.

After the final meeting.

Shen Ye took out the half-smoked cigar and started smoking. He patrolled the camp and soon arrived at blacksmith Li's "coin factory". He looked at the coins being cut out. Although they were very thin, they were still usable.

These coins are designed like copper coins, with a square hole in the center, making them easy for people to carry around.

Shen Ye looked at Zhang Qiming's notebook, which was full of calculations.

Shen Ye never imagined that the camp he managed would one day develop into what it is today. He was only forced into the position of leader by circumstances, thinking he would just take it one day at a time.

Now, everything is out of my control.

After taking over the tribe, there will be even more to do.

Of course, there is also more hope!

Shen Ye became increasingly convinced that even if everyone couldn't go back to the modern era, they could still live very well in this one.

However, compared to the superior life in modern society, life here still creates a huge sense of disparity for everyone.

This disparity will accompany everyone throughout their lives.

It could potentially lead to mental illness in the future, but Shen Ye knew that now was not the time to think about that. He should focus on dealing with the attack on the savage tribe tomorrow first!

After patrolling around, Shen Ye returned to the campfire and chatted with everyone.

Cui Zhengxi did not participate in the chatter; he was sitting on the stone slope talking to his daughter, and it was unclear what they were saying.

It's clear that he really loves his daughter.

Although Ya Ya is only a thirteen-year-old girl, she has already learned a lot of combat skills from Cui Zhengxi and always carries a sharpened dagger with her.

It is clear that Cui Zhengxi is already making plans for her daughter.

If he were to die one day, his daughter would still be capable of standing on her own.

Just as Shen Ye was thinking, Chen Yue walked over.

She sat down next to Shen Ye.

"Ms. Chen, is there something you need?"

Shen Ye asked Chen Yue, and Chen Yue nodded solemnly.

"I've thought about it, and I think I'll go with you guys. After all, I said I'd join your group, and I can't go back on my word."

o

Chen Yue said.

Shen Ye was surprised, because according to the rules, once you joined, you couldn't be absent without a reason.

However, since the other person was a woman, Shen Ye didn't intend to pursue the matter further, and none of the other members held it accountable.

But she actually came to find me.

This courage earned the admiration of everyone present, after all, this wasn't just about going out to find water, it was about actually killing savages!

It's about drawing blood; it's about plunging a spear into a savage's body and feeling his internal organs rupture and spurt blood.

"Are you sure? If you join again this time, we won't allow you to be absent without a valid reason."

Shen Ye also spoke solemnly to Chen Yue.

Zhou Jian, the reporter, and the photographer all looked at Chen Yue, the young woman.

"I know, I've thought about it seriously."

Chen Yue appeared very decisive.

Shen Ye couldn't quite understand it. If she had wanted to become a female leader before, and now that she had reached the position of deputy female leader, it would be best for her to step down at this point, and no one would hold her accountable.

But now everything in the camp is becoming militarized.

Then, the situation of not holding anyone accountable will no longer occur.

"Wait, what skills do you have to join?"

Zhou Jian, as the group leader, spoke up at this point. Although his presence as group leader was very low and everyone went to Shen Ye for help, he still nominally had the power to decide who could join and who could not.

Chen Yue thought for a moment.

"I'm an athlete. I run fast, I'm agile, I throw my spear accurately, I have great endurance, and my willpower is stronger than the average person's. Isn't that enough?"

Chen Yue said.

Zhou Jian clicked his tongue in amazement. He had only wanted to give her a reason to quit, but he hadn't expected that this girl was really determined to join!

"Brother Ye, you decide. Our group is short-handed. Logically speaking, we won't refuse anyone who is willing to join. In fact, I'd like to recruit a few more."

Zhou Jian looked at Shen Ye and said.

Shen Ye nodded. Although he didn't understand why Chen Yue wanted to do this, he had no reason to refuse. Everyone was working hard, and no one would indulge a woman like her.

"Let her join then, let's officially add her name to the register!"

In this way, Chen Yue can receive two rations.

One was for the female deputy leader, and the other was for the reconnaissance and exploration team.

Like Mike, he got two servings.

His salary might be significantly higher than Shen Ye's.

"I'll still ride the dragon with you, but this time I'll be behind you, and you'll be in front!"

Chen Yue said to Shen Ye.

Shen Ye blushed slightly as he thought about what happened last time.

However, he had no objection to this. There were only two women in the group now. Li Zimei and Zhou Jian were on one of the two spinners, while Shen Ye and Chen Yue were on the other.

Others can only walk.

Walking six or seven kilometers of mountain road is a considerable burden for everyone.

Fortunately, everyone present had experience in outdoor sports, so when they were almost at the Savage Camp, they could rest for a while to replenish their energy before launching their attack.

Shen Ye wanted to chat a little longer when he saw Ning Yan looking in his direction from the cabin entrance.

"Everyone, get some rest. We'll have a good meal tomorrow and then set off."

Shen Ye said, stubbing out the cigar, but not wanting to throw away the remaining half, he put it back in his pocket.

He approached Ning Yan with a smile.

He pulled her into his arms around her slender waist.

"Miss Ning, did you miss me?"

"Who misses you? You're leaving for battle tomorrow, so make sure you get a good night's sleep!"

As Ning Yan spoke, she didn't push Shen Ye away. Instead, she looked at Chen Yue by the campfire, a complex expression flashing in her eyes.

"Okay! I'm sure I can sleep soundly with you by my side."

Shen Ye smiled. He couldn't explain why, but burying his face in her warm and soft embrace made him sleep soundly, and all his worries disappeared.

"You're always so unserious, go inside and rest!"

Ning Yan gave a light reproach.
