That night, Lin Yan returned home. Before going to bed, he remembered that he was going to meet Ye Cong and Bai Chen today.
She also had some ideas about the design of the new coins and wanted to talk to them about them.
Lin Yan got up early the next day, ate a few bites in a hurry, and was about to go to the laboratory, but was stopped by Hua Hong.
"Auntie, what's wrong?"
Huahong said mysteriously: "I have a good thing for you. It's rare that you got up early today. Why didn't you sleep in?"
In the past, every time Lin Yan came back, she would stay in bed the next day. This time she got up early, and she was still a little uncomfortable.
"Auntie, I've grown up, and I won't sleep in anymore. What do you want to give me, and why are you so mysterious?"
After not seeing each other for more than a month, Huahong suddenly felt that her daughter had really changed, becoming more sensible and steady. She went to the house and got something out.
"Reach out."
Lin Yan obeyed and stretched out his right hand, wondering what it was.
When the object was revealed, she knew the answer immediately.
"Auntie, isn't it just an ID card? Does it need to be so mysterious?"
Turning it over and taking a closer look, I saw a small piece of cardboard with my name and ID number printed on it. The background is painted with cloud patterns, with light red and blue intertwined, appearing and appearing.
Hua Hong said: "I didn't expect the ID card to be so beautiful. It was very different at first glance. When we first got it, everyone was shocked. The paper, handwriting, and pattern are all unique."
"Of course it's different. Many people participated in the design and production, and everyone's hard work was condensed. It's finally done properly."
Lin Yan was very familiar with the process of creating the ID card. It took more than half a year and many people racked their brains to make it look like this.
“Have everyone’s ID cards been ready?”
"Yes, the Ministry of Government Affairs and the Printing House made ID cards for everyone in the city within a month. Yours was the first batch to be made. You were not at home when it was delivered, so I kept it for you. Yes. From now on, keep it to yourself and listen to what they say. When the bank opens, you must use your ID card to handle business."
"Well, I'll definitely put it away. Mom, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
He hurried to the laboratory and found Ye Cong and Bai Chen, who were arguing.
After listening to a few words, Lin Yan interrupted them, "Isn't it just the material of the new coins? Are you going to quarrel?"
"As for that." The two said in unison.
Ye Cong glared at Bai Chen, "She thinks the silver mine is enough, and the silver used in the alloy accounts for a large proportion, reaching 80%. If this is the case, it is better to use pure silver to make it, why spend so much time researching the alloy .”
"Pure silver is not good, it is easy to be copied." Bai Chen also thought about making it into pure silver, but just like iron coins, it is only a matter of time before it is copied.
This is possible with any pure metal. The new currency they want to introduce must be a special material that is difficult to imitate.
Alloy is a very good material. They have made several types, but they are not satisfied with them and want to make better ones.
No matter in terms of hardness, appearance, processing and technical difficulty, etc., it must be achieved to the extreme.
After they finished speaking, they both looked at Lin Yan and asked her to comment on what was the best way to do it.
"Have we already discussed that the new coins will be made of alloys? This is for sure. Bring over some of the alloys you made and let me take a look."
Lin Yan rushed here in a hurry just for the alloy. Having brought back so much copper ore, she thought it would be put to good use.
After seeing the alloy they made, Lin Yan was sure that Bai Chen wanted to increase the proportion of silver because it looked good. Silvery white, which is darker than other colors, is indeed eye-catching.
After looking at the ratios of several alloys, Lin Yan found that the amount of copper they used was very small. They all use silver as the base metal, with iron, copper, etc. added in different proportions.
"I brought back several kilograms of copper ore, and I can adjust the proportion of copper compounds. It still needs to be based on silver, and the rest are additives."
The three of them discussed it and started experimenting.
Lin Yan was doing the experiment and forgot about other things. It was Alan who asked someone to call her to go to the arbitration tribunal, and then she suddenly remembered what she had agreed to last night.
When she arrived, everyone else was already waiting. Lin Yan said sheepishly, "I was so busy that I forgot to keep you waiting."
"As long as people are here." Alan waved his hand nonchalantly, "Everyone is here, let's get started. Lin Yan first tell us what you think."
Lin Yan explained her plan for Mingwan Village, focusing on the current deal with Mingwan Village and who to send to do it.
Let's settle this matter first and let people go first. Other things can be discussed slowly.
The transaction with Mingwan Village involves multiple departments, and it must be clear who will take the lead.
Alan looked at Minglan, Fenghua and Heitu, "The Materials Department, the Finance Department and the Military Department are the most involved. The Military Department is responsible for safety along the way, the Finance Department has to send people to keep accounts, and the Materials Department should properly manage various goods. I personally think, It would be better for the Materials Department to take the lead.”
Lin Yan also thought the same, "It's best this way. The Materials Department is the most familiar with all kinds of goods, and with the assistance of the Finance Department and the Military Department, we will definitely be able to do a good job."
Minglan didn't expect that both Alan and Lin Yan would put their burdens on the Materials Department. Since Lan Yue left the Materials Department and went to the Military Department, without a capable person, she had too many things to do. Although there are new people joining, after all, they are not as capable as Lan Yue.
Fenghua expressed his position: "The Finance Department can send a person, and I will report the person after I go back and confirm it."
Kurotsuchi also said: "The military headquarters also sent a small team, so I asked Blue Star to lead the sixth team there. They have been there once and are familiar with the route."
Heitu and Fenghua were so straightforward that Minglan couldn't refuse, so she had no choice but to agree.
Alan then brought up the issue of management of the alliance. From now on, the arbitration tribunal can no longer just focus on Sun City. Qingyan City and Yuanye City must also be managed together.
The original system can manage a Suncity, but as an alliance, the division of rights and responsibilities needs to be redefined.
Having gone through many system improvements, they all know that every change involves the interests of too many people.
With Alan's prestige, the current arbitration tribunal is relatively clear internally, and it would be better to restructure it before next year's election.
But how to change the system, several people are confused and don't have many ideas. It still depends on Alan and Lin Yan. Since they brought it up, they must have an idea.
Alan said: "The alliance is different from the management of a Sun City. You should all have experienced it. Since the establishment of the alliance, the affairs have increased too much. I thought about it carefully and found that the military has stationed people in the two cities and recruited troops in the two cities. Forced training, what should other departments do, and how to supervise local government affairs, these are all issues before us."
Feng Hua deeply felt the same, "It is true. The situation is very chaotic right now. The Finance Department has to manage the finances of the entire Sun City, and there are also the finances of the other two cities. It takes a lot of time to go back and forth, and there are already not enough people. .”
Minglan also felt this way. The Materials Department had to calculate and allocate supplies to the two cities every day, which added a lot of burden.
