In fact, the total amount of gold and silver in the world was not much. By the end of the century, there were only 50,000 tons of gold and 400,000 tons of silver. Even if all of them were dug out, it would not be enough to upgrade the base to a high level.
The low level of his foundation was still obvious. He could still deal with it through gold and silver transactions, but in the future, he was afraid that there would be a shortage of gold and silver.
At the same time as the war, gold and silver were held in the hands of others, and most of them were concentrated abroad.
At that time, where would there be so much gold and silver?
Miners were the most practical way to exchange for money. At this moment, no one had come to collect various taxes from underground miners. Other than the low cost of electricity consumed by mining cars, the total cost was lower than that of producing weapons. It was just that the time taken might be a little slower. Mining fields, because of mining the fields of his descendants, Lin Xiang had scolded him countless times in his previous life.
However, he had to protect himself now. Lin Xiang was not a pedantic person. That was why he wanted to upgrade all the mining carts and build dozens more. Unfortunately, he did not have the money.
Only by saving up could they continue to sell weapons.
"Why? Why are you here again? Was he restrained or abused?" Once again, Lin Xiang was like a little wife who was suffering, squatting in a corner and silently drawing circles and crying. He no longer had the mood to argue with the AI about its ubiquitous rules and restrictions.
However, after the upgrade of the artificial intelligence system, Little Blossom was undoubtedly much more humane. He tried his best to explain to him.
Commander Xiaobai was no longer a first-level novice commander. After the base's main core was upgraded to the second level, the rule of protecting novices had been abolished. A total of twenty-two military rules had been adjusted accordingly. When Lin Xiang heard these twenty-two military rules, he knew that he was not too aggrieved.
So, tell me, how do you calculate the cost of the weapons produced by the base? Lin Xiang's tone was much calmer now, but he was still grinning.
It turned out that the construction of the base was constantly upgrading, which was a great joy. However, Lin Xiang was not happy. Having studied junior accounting, he realized that there was something wrong with the accounts. After asking, he found out that there was a problem with the production of weapons that Lin Xiang relied on the most. The cost of weapons had been greatly adjusted, and the cost of some weapons had increased.
After the upgrade, the technology level increased, but the cost increased? Lin Xiang was furious and argued with Littleflower again. Littleflower's words about the system's adjustments had crushed Lin Xiang.
After the adjustment, Lin Xiang could only feel resentment. When the system made the adjustment, it didn't even try to reason with him. According to the space-time barrier and the level of the base, the cost of weapons had different calculations.
The cost of creating a weapon in the current space-time barrier stage was only a quarter of the lowest cost at that time.
Among these factors, a small part was due to the increase in the base's super technology production level, and another small part was due to the increase in the base's transportation that did not break through the space-time barrier.
If he crossed the space-time barrier, or crossed the basic level, it would also add 2-3 points each.…”After Littleflower leveled up, he had indeed become more human-like. However, he still said a lot of things that made Lin Xiang dizzy.
He could only give an example."How much money do I need to produce the Mauser G98 rifle?”
He said," The current international average cost is 18 dollars. The base has a half of the super technology productivity bonus and a half of the transportation consumption bonus. Because the Mauser G98 rifle can be produced in the First World War base, the cross-base level is increased by a third. Therefore, the production cost of the Mauser G98 rifle is 1.5 dollars. According to the average exchange rate of the day, it is converted to 4.6 silver dollars. Compared to the original price, the cost of some weapons was even lower.
Lin Xiang patiently asked other questions. After Littleflower answered them one by one, he finally understood something. After leaving the beginner's protection, there were good and bad.
The task force that headed to Nanjing received telegrams from all over the country every day, reporting the follow-up actions of the Songlu Battle in real time, which made Lin Xiang sigh repeatedly.
It was pretty good at the beginning, but it directly made the Japanese boast about being arrogant for three months. However, after the [***] collapsed, it became a flock of sheep. Even the previously built line of defense, known as the "Eastern Maginot Line", was abandoned and fled for their lives. Although each had their own merits, and the general direct line army in his previous life could conquer anything, this conclusion was still relatively reasonable.
To be honest, Lin Xiang had been a little conflicted ever since he left for the expedition.
With the current strength of the base, it was only self-insurance. It was hard to say if there were any major accidents. The expedition was purely a thought in Lin Xiang's mind. Since he was in this time and space, he should do something.
The turtle put away its insurance and turned a deaf ear to what was about to happen. Lin Xiang really couldn't do that.
There was one thing that Lin Xiang could only assume.
If he didn't have a base, Lin Xiang might have joined the army and gone to Shanghai to fight. However, with the base, there was hope for the future. It was just that they were trapped here.
Therefore, the small number of advance troops sent to Shanghai were basically just there for show. Millions of soldiers were fighting on the battlefield, and not even bubbles could be seen.
On the contrary, the medical team made up of ten rabbit soldiers had made quite a name for themselves and saved many injured people. Although their medical skills were limited, they were still professional medical technology. Coupled with the drugs and medical equipment produced by the base, they quickly became good friends. Even if Sun Liren was injured, he was only sent to the hospital in the rear after being rescued by the medical team on the battlefield. Although Sun Liren didn't know that Lin Xiang had devoted himself to this area, he was still very grateful to the medical team.
