101: Boss, is it time for us to go out and collect?

In Factory Building No. 1, everyone from the Shelter was gathered.

Tian Ming pointed at the wristband in his hand and said, "This will be our Shelter's ID card from now on.

In three days, the item vouchers and meal tickets will be abolished, and a full points system will be implemented.

Everyone, please exchange your meal tickets for points within three days."

Everyone present looked at Tian Ming, their faces full of anticipation.

The originally complex economic system, after reforms by Shen Yuan and Zhang Mengqi, had become much simpler and clearer.

"Mengqi, tell everyone about the rules for point exchange," Tian Ming said.

Zhang Mengqi nodded, walked to the open space in the middle, opened a projector, and began to explain.

"As you can see, this wristband contains everyone's avatar and a string of numbers.

These are your points.

You can think of points as your savings.

Of course, it's fine if these savings are negative.

Our Boss has fully considered the real situation; some people are sick and cannot work, so they can incur debt, giving you a buffer period."

Everyone laughed; negative savings were unheard of.

Zhang Mengqi continued, "Just take your meal tickets and item vouchers to Lin Yue to exchange them.

We will calculate the exchange ratio based on the Shelter's situation."

At this moment, someone in the crowd asked, "Then what's the difference from meal tickets?"

Zhang Mengqi smiled and explained, "Points can be used to buy anything within the Shelter, and everyone's consumption will be monitored.

As long as it's normal consumption, we will guarantee it.

Points can prevent some people from acquiring ill-gotten gains, ensuring fairness among Shelter personnel."

Everyone was very excited to hear this.

Physical meal tickets were easier to lose and had the risk of being stolen, but points were different; even if they were fraudulently used, it would be easy to trace.

The sense of security in the Shelter came from this: a powerful Boss, fair rules, and comprehensive guarantees.

Tian Ming stood on the stage and said, "Point exchange starts now, valid for three days.

If you miss the deadline, that's your bad luck.

Now, those who need to get meal tickets, go get them."

Everyone busied themselves.

Lin Yue found a few people, each distributing a mobile phone.

Like recording express delivery slips, they entered everyone into the system, distributed the exchanged points, and after the point exchange was completed, they received the wristbands for payment.

This wristband uses periodic intermittent communication, and the screen is an e-ink display, with extremely low power consumption.

There's a thermocouple at the bottom; that's right, this thing uses body temperature to generate electricity.

Its extremely low power consumption allows it to achieve infinite battery life as long as it's worn.

This type of wristband was improved by Zhang Mengqi; it was originally medical equipment used to monitor body vital signs.

She removed the high-power consumption functions, added a larger battery, changed the power acquisition method, and then had Tian Ming manufacture it.

Everything went quite smoothly.

Coming out of Factory Building No. 1, Tian Ming was stopped by Qiu Wuhui, who had rushed over.

"Boss."

Tian Ming nodded and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

"Boss, I think our collection work can be restarted, can't it?

Ever since the heavy snow blocked the roads, our Materials Group has been helping dig earth until we're sick of it."

Qiu Wuhui really didn't want to be stuck in the Shelter helping build the city walls anymore; it was much more tiring than going out to collect supplies and earned less.

"Take Sun Wentao and Pan Ting with you.

One to clear the way, and one to pass through walls to transport materials.

For muscle, have Iron Dude and Dr. Qiao serve as enforcers."

Tian Ming did not object; to be honest, it was time for them to go out and gather supplies.

Originally, they were going to wait until the aircraft was built, but now that the Shelter had Ability Users, the aircraft matter was not so urgent, after all, only Liu Chuan could fly a plane now.

"Understood, I'll go arrange it right away."

"Wait, what's the rush?

I haven't finished talking yet," Tian Ming called out.

Qiu Wuhui stopped somewhat awkwardly and said, "Boss, is there anything else?"

"Let me highlight something for you.

In this freezing weather, the Materials Group needs to focus on food, understand?

Given how powerful the mutated zombies in the city are, have Meng Dong drive the armored vehicle to clear the way.

Bring more RPG rocket launchers, high-explosive grenades, grenade launchers, and such.

Human lives are precious."

"What about ammunition consumption?"

Tian Ming smiled slightly, "It's most important that people live; I'll replenish your ammunition.

Go find You Suowei and have him lead the way directly to the logistics food warehouse.

The temperature is low now, so bring back all the food that can be brought back."

Qiu Wuhui nodded heavily and said, "Qiu Wuhui understands."

Getting the Boss's approval, Qiu Wuhui was very excited; these days had truly driven him crazy.

He couldn't go out, and this guy was originally a rich second generation.

His family background made him more confident than most people.

After being a playboy for a few years, he found it boring and desperately sought excitement.

Qiu Wuhui was the kind of person who couldn't sit still.

Ever since it snowed, he had been bored out of his mind, constantly either digging earth to build walls, assisting the law enforcement patrol team, or helping out in the kitchen.

It was too boring.

Tian Ming, however, walked directly towards the Talent Building; he planned to find Shen Yuan.

The helicopter wasn't finished yet, and he couldn't just abandon it halfway.

Shen Yuan's cold had almost completely recovered, and Tian Ming had also modified the walls of her living place, making them warmer.

All the equipment in her room had also been moved out, leaving only two computers.

The rest of the equipment was all moved to the main control room.

Arriving outside Shen Yuan's door, Tian Ming knocked.

"Who is it?"

"It's me."

"Come in, the door's unlocked."

Tian Ming pushed the door open and walked in, only to see Shen Yuan sitting in front of the computer, typing on the keyboard.

Next to her, there were many snacks, and she was crunching on potato chips.

"Is your cold better?" Tian Ming asked.

Shen Yuan stopped her work, smiled slightly, and said, "Yes, it's better, but I've been a bit craving lately, especially for junk food."

Tian Ming looked at the snacks on the table and said, "Hmm, I can tell."

He waved his hand over the snacks, and instantly, the empty snack bags were full again.

"Oh, thank you, Boss, for the refill."

Tian Ming pulled over a chair, sat down, and said, "The plane, when will it be assembled?

Give me a definite answer."

Shen Yuan glanced at Tian Ming, pointed to her screen, and said, "Look, what's this?"

Tian Ming leaned closer; it was densely packed with code.

He shook his head and said, "I don't understand!"

"Flight control, don't worry, Boss, we won't forget this.

If your parts are all made, we can start assembling.

The rest is just testing.

During assembly, have my brother help and guide; he's more skilled in that area," Shen Yuan said.

"Alright, alright, very good.

Well then, I won't bother you anymore; I'm going to assemble the plane."

Tian Ming nodded with satisfaction.

The original image is 28MB, but the upload limit is 5MB.

This is the best effect I could optimize; please bear with it.
