Chapter 680 - A New Machine
"Your majesty, It"s simply amazing!
This technology will definitely make everyone scream in shock." Tim said while going over the doc.u.ment in his hands.
Landon just looked at him and smiled.
Of course, the doc.u.ment in Tim"s hands was that for manufacturing Vending Machines.
He realized that if he didn"t get this done now, then by the time Pac-man was finally created... Tim and the rest wouldn"t be able to do it for a long time.
Why?
Because after that, they would need to focus on creating the first importer ever, as well as headphones and many other things that would be rewarded to him by the system.
In fact right now, Tim"s only focus was on building the aquarium and getting the Pac-Man arcade game done.
So when it came to the aquarium, the construction workers did everything, while their supervisors would report to him on the progress so far.
Of course, he also took time off at least once in 2-weeks just to see how far they had gone.
With that said, his main focus was now solely on Pac-Man, so he had some spare time to focus on vending machines now.
It was better to have this done as soon as possible, rather than to keep pus.h.i.+ng it onwards.
Again... Landon noticed that he couldn"t buy all technologies from the system.
Sometimes, his level wasn"t enough.
And other times, it was because the system had kept specific designs as some sort of reward.
Yup!
He had asked for helicopter and plane manufacturing designs to boost his army, but he got turned down.
The system told him straight up that it would be rewarded to him after Baymard has reached a certain development level.
And when he asked, he was told that he needed an amus.e.m.e.nt park, functioning aquarium, computerized gym equipment like treadmills and many more.
As for the gym thing, many of his equipment worked on spring and pulley systems... like the leg weight machines that allowed one to pin the weight they desired and strap the rope on their leg.
And as they lifted their leg, the rope would lift the weights in the machines too.
In short, be it biceps machines or even machines that work on one"s inner thighs, they all used spring or pulley mechanisms.
So he had never bothered to make treadmills or any other computerized machines.
The gym had normal weights, bell weights, jump ropes, boxing bags, yoga mats, workout b.a.l.l.s, running tracks, basketball, soccer, tennis, badminton and other sports equipment that could be used daily.
So when the system mentioned things like treadmills, he was indeed shocked.
Not to talk of the amus.e.m.e.nt parks, water parks and so on.
Sigh... He still had a long day to go in so little time.
.
Tim briefly looked over the 70-page doc.u.ment in his hands and frowned a bit.
"Your majesty, pardon me asking, but how do these vending machines detect fake money from others?
From the brief outline here, we will place these vending machines in the land and seaports too, right?"
"Hmhm.
That"s the plan."
"Uhmm... your majesty.
Since I personally witnessed how our money was made.
I"m sure that there will be some sort of scanning device in the machine to check if the paper money coming in has that unique strip on it.
So I understand how the paper money will get filtered.
But what about coins?
Within baymard, I"m sure that almost no one would use coins since even visitors have to change their currencies upon arrival.
But what about the Land and seaports?
When the visitors are on their way back, they will definitely be carrying coins.
And even on the cruise sh.i.p.s, there will definitely be more vending machines there too.
So how do we detect fake from real coins there?" Tim said confusedly.
He didn"t want anyone to put in fake money and then draw out drinks or anything food from the vending machines.
That would be unfair to the rest who had earnestly placed real coins into it.
Landon looked at Tim and nodded in satisfaction.
As expected of an overseer.
For sure, Tim wouldn"t let Landon go until all his doubts and worries had been sorted out.
.
"Tim... even though you and I have never made coins before, what can you tell me about them?"
"Your majesty, coins within the Pyno continent all look the same everywhere one went.
And they are specifically created and inspected by the royal coin makers in each empire.
All empires came together hundreds of years ago and agreed to make them similar in size and design, so as to facilitate trade amongst them.
So the coins are all roughly the same." Tim said confusedly while looking at the smiling Landon.
It was true, all coin types had specific markings on them.
Around the edges of the coins were the names of all empires within the Pyno continent.
And at the center of the coin was a 5 leaf clover.
Again, each leaf had a symbol that represented the royal family of each empire.
Additionally, there were also several marks at the back of the coin too that made it hard for anyone to forge these coins.
The coin masters were the most skilled in their empires and worked diligently to inspect and make sure that each coin that went out... be it copper, gold or silver, all met the standards of the agreement hundreds of years ago.
That was why the penalty for possessing fake coins or cheating others with fake coins was life imprisonment.
But even though it was a serious crime, there were always some daring people who still tried to forge out fake coins for their well being.
Anyway, each coin type had the same design but differed in size and thinness.
Gold coins were thicker than silver or copper coins, even though they all had the same designs carved on them.
So with that said, how could screening these coins be an issue?
Well, he might still get some fake coins as even nothing was 100% full proof.
Because even back on earth, vending machines still took fakes and got cheated.
But no matter what, vending machines were a must!
