Starting with a Train, I Plunder Multiverse Civilizations

The mother planet exploded, and humanity escaped into space aboard a star-spanning train.

As the train's conductor, Chen An transports passengers for interstellar survival, forging his ow...

Chapter 526 Currency Reform

Chen An asked Fuyao about the question Yang Yuan asked.

[Star coins are essentially just numbers, and the owner can add or subtract them at will. There is no need to set an upper limit.]

Chen An told Yang Yuan this.

Yang Yuan said, "Numbers mean a potential collapse at any moment. Even adjusting train schedules is dangerous. Star coins lack a carrier, that is, physical currency. This currency can be paper or other indestructible metals. For example, on Purple Star, paper money is currency, and gold is also currency. Once there is currency, it can be used to control star coins and prevent excessive issuance."

Chen An smiled and said, "As expected, you are always able to talk freely when it comes to money. Can energy crystals be used as currency?"

"Energy crystals are valuable and can be tied to star coins, providing passengers with a certain reference value. However, the value of energy crystals must be kept stable and cannot be increased or decreased at will. As long as the energy crystals are stable, the star coins will not float."

Chen An could fully understand and asked Fuyao to set up a special energy crystal bank immediately to form a stable exchange relationship with star coins.

At the same time, all pure Nengjing products were removed from the market and will no longer be sold.

If passengers want to strengthen themselves, they can only purchase secondary processed super potions.

The current exchange rate between Energy Crystals and Star Coins is 0.1125. As long as this value does not change significantly, the value of Star Coins is considered stable.

[But there is a problem. Energy crystals are essentially consumables. Whether their value is stable depends on the train's reserves.]

Fortunately, the train's energy reserves far exceed the wealth of all passengers, so there won't be any problems at this point.

Chen An asked, "How much wealth do all the passengers have?"

【About 100 billion units of energy crystal】

"I understand. As long as there are always hundreds of billions of energy crystals inside the train, the economy won't collapse."

[But please note that with the addition of the Mimics, the passengers' overall wealth will explode, and is expected to increase to 500 billion in the future.]

“What is our total volume?”

Two trillion

"Hiss... I didn't even know there were so many. Take out 500 billion and deposit it into Energy Crystal Bank, and move this part separately."

The communication between Chen An and Fu Yao was completed in his mind.

Afterwards, Chen An said to Yang Yuan, "Your science guild is now ranked second, and it may take the first place at any time. You must take the lead."

Yang Yuan smiled and said, "Based on this meal, I will definitely follow your lead. Tell me, do you want me to sell my shares? Can you be gentle?"

"Fuck you!" Chen An laughed and kicked him, then said, "The guild can expand, but it can't affect the stability of the train. You're arbitrarily dismissing old passengers. This behavior is not acceptable."

Yang Yuan immediately raised his hands and said aggrievedly, "I didn't. You know I'm nostalgic. I never give up on the brothers who have been with me all the way, even if they have little talent."

The initial batch of Purple Star people gradually failed to keep up with the pace and became a burden to the guild.

Chen An asked: "Do you have any good ideas?"

"You are the train conductor. With just one word from you, no guild would dare to do this."

Chen An shook his head: "Eliminating the weak is a normal way of survival, I agree. But they eliminated a lot of Purple Star people this time, and I don't feel very comfortable with it emotionally and logically."

It's not just other races that are eliminating the Purple Star people, even the original Purple Star guilds are being eliminated, some of which are even at the top of the list.

From another perspective, it is also a good thing. Racial integration is relatively successful, and the guild leaders will not treat people specially because of their racial identity.

Therefore, for the sake of the hard-earned racial stability, Chen An could not issue a compulsory order.

Yang Yuan scratched his head and asked, "How many people are there?"

"More than 100,000."

Yang Yuan said helplessly, "If you give me a quota for guild members, I can just take them all in. But my guild is already full."

"I won't make it difficult for you. Just give me some advice."

After the two of them had their fill of food and drink, Chen An took Yang Yuan for a walk on the roof of the car.

"Is your relationship with Wen Jie okay?"

Yang Yuan replied: "It's fine, but she's very suspicious now. She always suspects that I have other women outside. Lao Chen, do you think all women are like this?"

Chen An chuckled, avoided the topic and talked about the previous question.

"It's definitely unreasonable to ask the guilds to take everyone back now. My idea is to establish a few new guilds and take in those who have been eliminated. These guilds will nominally belong to the train, which is equivalent to the official guilds. They don't have any special benefits during normal times, and the guilds will still complete missions."

Yang Yuan shook his head. "I don't think it's feasible. Because as soon as these guilds are established, countless people will flock in. They don't care whether there are benefits or not. As long as they carry the official guild sign, they will definitely get invisible benefits. If you really want to establish a similar guild, you definitely can't use the official name. I do have an idea."

"Just tell me."

"My idea is to allow large guilds to establish subsidiary guilds. The role of subsidiary guilds will mainly be logistical work, and occasionally do some small tasks."

He suddenly lowered his voice and said, "If you want to eliminate some passengers, you can also use the name of an affiliated guild."

Chen An raised his eyelids slightly: "You guessed?"

"It's just a wild guess. You've been talking about the Purple Star people this time but haven't mentioned other races. I guess you want to throw some away, but you're just embarrassed to say it, right?"

It’s true.

As the number of passengers increases, the strength of the group becomes more and more obvious.

The role of talent is gradually overshadowed by hard work, and many passengers with less talent surpass those with better talent through hard work.

Talent seems important but it is not. If the passenger does not have the ambition to make progress, no matter how good the talent is, it will be useless.
