#255 - Chapter 255 Space Station Upgrade Completed
"The problem is that 600 crystal cores for a combat suit is simply too high a price!" Shen Tu Zheng Hao shook his head.
He calculated that even if he killed all the zombies in his jurisdiction, it wouldn't be enough to equip all the soldiers with combat suits. Not to mention how much ammunition would be consumed in the process.
"Old Yan, will your rat-raising be affected?" Zong Zheng Yue asked.
He had already welded a lot of cages in the military camp during this period, just waiting for Dong Fang Chen to solve the problem of rat feed. If the rat-raising is affected, he really doesn't know what other way he can get crystal cores.
"How could it not be affected? Not only is the price of combat suits rising, but this price increase actually means the value of crystal cores has been cut in half. So, if you calculate it this way, the output of the rats is also equivalent to being halved," Yan Zheng Ping said, shaking his head.
"Old Yan, what rats?" Suo Tong Hua asked.
"You can visit and see for yourselves later," Yan Zheng Ping didn't elaborate.
"Don't tell me those temporary buildings outside are for raising rats!" Suo Tong Hua suddenly thought of the messy rows of temporary buildings he saw when he came, and asked.
"That's right!" Yan Zheng Ping admitted.
"Good heavens! What's gotten into you? Raising rats in the military camp, you really dare to do it!" Suo Tong Hua exclaimed.
"There's no way around it. Crystal cores are getting harder and harder to get, so we can only think of other ways. Except for Lao Zong, the two of you may not be very clear. My Southwest Military Region is not peaceful. Zombie bats attack every now and then. To resist these zombie bats, the daily consumption is very high," Yan Zheng Ping explained.
"You mean raising rats can get crystal cores?" Suo Tong Hua's eyes widened.
Shen Tu Zheng Hao also looked over.
"Yes! Zombie rats can produce crystal cores, you all know that," Yan Zheng Ping said with a smile.
The two of them widened their eyes.
They were both shrewd people, and they understood as soon as he said it.
So, no one dwelled on the combat suit issue anymore, and the meeting turned into a zombie rat breeding technology promotion conference.
The only thing was that Shen Tu Zheng Hao and Suo Tong Hua didn't know Dong Fang Chen, so Yan Zheng Ping didn't mention too much about the feed research and development. He simply said that the supplier would solve the feed problem.
Unsurprisingly, the rat-raising was unanimously approved by Shen Tu Zheng Hao and Suo Tong Hua.
Compared with going out to hunt zombies, the method of raising rats is more controllable and stable.
Moreover, as long as there is no shortage of food, it can be said that crystal cores can be produced continuously. It's simply inexhaustible.
If the problem of crystal cores can be solved, the price of combat suits will no longer be an unsolvable problem.
......
At the same time, the change in the crystal core exchange price also spread to various resettlement camps.
Regarding this point, the headquarters of various resettlement camps were somewhat surprised and complained a bit, but the reaction was not great. Because they are not very sensitive to the price of crystal cores.
Resettlement camps do not need to directly obtain crystal cores. Their current points are obtained by transferring land. These land transfer fees are directly transferred to their member accounts in the form of points, so they cannot directly feel the impact of changes in the crystal core exchange price.
After all, the point price of goods has not changed.
Goods that originally cost 100 points still sell for 100 points. It's just that the current 100 points are no longer the original 100 points. The original 100 points represented 1 crystal core, and the current 100 points represent 2 crystal cores.
It just means that ordinary people need to put in twice the labor to get the same points, and the difficulty of earning points has increased.
For this point, the mercenaries of the Mercenary Union feel it most clearly.
When they first joined, the crystal core exchange ratio was 1:100, now it is 1:50.
It's impossible not to complain.
But there's nothing they can do about complaining, they can't control this.
In response, the Huatong Chamber of Commerce and the Mercenary Union also issued announcements. The announcement did not explain the reasons for the adjustment of the exchange ratio in detail, but simply said that it was limited by the increase in raw materials and operating costs, and the exchange ratio was adjusted.
In just two days, the negative impact of the Huatong Chamber of Commerce being punished spread to the terminal market.
