I'm The King Of Technology Chapter 681
Advertisement
Tim posted down all the facts about money within the Pyno continent, and soon... his eyes quickly lit up.
Now, he had a rough idea of where Landon was going.
But he still decided to wait for Landon's response first.
"Alright... so, how does the machine knows to send back the fakes and keep track of what people paid in?
Well... since you roughly understand how the machine handles paper money, then let's focus on coins.
Firstly, this machine will be able to decipher coins with pinpoint accuracy.
Once a coin drops in, light sensors will measure its size.
And following that, electromagnets will detect the metal type... which will identify the coins in split seconds.
So if someone drops anything other than gold, copper or silver, the machine will reject it.
And if the size isn't within the specified range, the machine will also reject it as well and sort it out into columns.
With that, the fakes will get sent to the reject chute and returned to the customer immediately.
And when change is due, the machines will make calculations and conversions.
And from there, the column will release one coin at a time.
As for gold, even though itisn't a metal... It can be magnetized by applied some pressurized heat at a certain temperature.
But we have to do so in a way that is fast and doesn't affect the shape of the coin.
So the vending machine design takes care of that part too."
"Ahhh... I see your majesty.
In that case, I suggest that we don't permit any gold coins from getting into the machines.
Firstly, 10,000 copper coins would equate to 1 gold coin.
So if people kept putting gold coins in for a snack that costs just 1 or 2 copper coins, then I think that the machine may not even have enough change to give other customers by the end of the day.

At least, let's limit it to silver and copper coins, as 100 copper coins equals 1 silver coin.
No!
You know what, let's just leave it at copper coins!" Tim said helplessly.
When he thought about it again, he couldn't help but feel that the best solution for now was to limit it to copper coins only.
If someone used a single silver coin to buy something worth 2 copper coins... then wouldn't that mean that the machine would have to dispense 98 copper coins to the customer as change?
Then what of gold coins?
At that point, they might be refilling and recharging the vending machines every 2 hours then.
Because the copper coins in the system might undoubtedly run out.
Nope!
It was better to limit it to just copper coins.
.
"Hmmm... I agree.
Indeed!
It would be best if everyone stuck to copper coins.
Luckily, within the cruise ships, Landports and seaports, there are places where one can exchange currencies or money.
So if they only had silver or gold coins with them, they could go there and exchange 1 or 2 silver coins for the copper coins.
As for paper money, it isn't a big deal.
So all Bays will be accepted into the machine."
When it came to Bays, there wasn't a huge exchange discrepancy like that of coins.
Baymard had a '1-Bay paper bill', a 5-Bay paper bill, a 10, a 20, a 50 and a 100-Bay paper bill.
So there were many paper bills that made money exchange easier when compared to that of coins.
Tim listened keenly to the other aspects within the vending machine and felt that this machine was a next-level thing.
One should know that at times, people didn't like lining up in stores just to get some snacks.
And at times, going to the stores during breaks might make one late... especially when there was traffic.

But if these machines were acted in schools, businesses and even on the streets, several people would at least lower their hunger or thirst for the time being.
Even he would be pleased with how convenient these machines were.
Additionally, the machine also added income to each establishment too.
With hungry soldiers, students, workers and tourists... these machines would be a stopping point to many and would undoubtedly yield thousands of Bays weekly.
Even those on cruise ships that missed dinner time, could still get a few snacks and drinks out if they didn't have enough money to order room service.
It was better than starving.
In short, there were so many benefits from it that Tim felt like it should've been one of the first things that got invented this year.
As for the snacks, drinks and delicacies that would be placed in them, Tim looked at the list and was thoroughly pleased.
Well, there were so many varieties of goods from snacks, drinks, doughnuts, and so on.
Well, now that he had everything in hand, he would have to first study the design in detail alongside his majesty.... before hiring and teaching others to begin manufacturing them.
Unlike Tim, Landon was more impressed with the vending machines design.
It was a whole better version of earth's vending machine thanks to the system.
And it could also do a whole lot more.
For example, it even found a way to separate good coins even though gold wasn't a magnetic.
But even though it was more advanced, its underlying principles were still the same.
.
"Your majesty, how soonest do you want this project completed?"
"Around the same time that it takes to complete the Pac-Man project.
This one is fairly easy when compared to that, and you all already have all the skills needed in making these vending machines.
So it shouldn't take too long."
"Hmhm... I think so too your majesty.
We started Project Pac-Man within the last week of March.
So by the first week of October, we should've finished the 8-month long project.
And by then, we will also have the vending machines ready to go too.
Again, aquarium construction should be done by then too."
"Hmm... that's good.
When aquarium construction is done, those guys will focus on filling up the tanks with fish and other water creatures for the next 3 months.
But of course, that won't be your duty.
Anyway, the aquarium should be opened sometime in January." Landon said while stroking his chin.
In his mind, all he was thinking about, was the system's rewards.
There were 4 rewards he was looking forward to specifically.
Firstly, he would be rewarded knowledge on everything involving 90's computer systems and Wi-Fi connectivity.
Again, he would be able to create Wired Earphones and Music pods or small phone-like walkmans.
And he would also be able to create Game boys.
But that wasn't all.
Last but not least, he would get knowledge on how to properly create animated movies.
So how could he not look forward to these rewards?
Aiy!... Baymard's future was really bright!
.
But while Landon was busily thinking about the future, several in-laws of his had finally arrived at Baymard.
"Dear, don't forget!
You all just do your best to seduce that boy from that b**ch, Launchy."
"Mom!
How many times do I have to tell you?
Her name is Luby."
"Fine! Fine! Fine! Fine!
Just do your best!"
"Of course!
Which man can resist my charms?
I'd like to see how faithful this king is to that b**ch!"

Badass
At the end of everything, Taylor Hebert realized something. She didn't want to be a superhero. No, she wanted to be a badass. And then her prayers were answered. Imbued with the power of mimetic badassery and the ability to channel a different real-life badass every week, she set out in search for all the best things in life - well, according to Conan, at least. Modeling herself after Conan have been a mistake. Join her on her high-octane, pulp-fiction journey for vengeance, adventure, victory and mayhem. This isn't just uncensored. It's anti-censored! =========================== (Worm/Fate/Badass of the Week) Warning: crack-taken-seriously, over-the-top pulp-fiction style violence, overpowered protagonist, banned on two other sites. Hell, even the light-hearted omake jokes in this were considered too subversive to persist. ============================ AN: There’s this really, really excellent website called Badass of the Week. I’ve wasted many an hour browsing through, marveling at all the crazy shit some humans are capable of. Check it out, then come back and read this in a few days when the awesome starts to wear off. It’s worth it (all 576 entries). Back? Good! Anyways, I was looking through it recently while thinking about who I wanted to make expy’s of for my The Flying Dutchman quest ship captains (which now languishes in indefinite hiatus), and I had this idea. What if Taylor, wanting to be a badass, triggered with the power to be a different Badass every week? With a bit of Fate-style ability to draw on the tools associated with the legend (but to a just marginally less ridiculous degree), and a drive and aura to be and do badass? And thus, Badass was born in it’s somewhat cracky glory. Enjoy.

The Forgotten One
Hey there everbody. This will be my second upload to Roll 20. Unfortunately I wasn't able to continue my previous one due to life and what not but I'm now back and have a some what new idea I've been kicking around for years. We'll see if i head back to my other fiction due to having things calming down. And like always I'm open to constructive critisims. Any way on to the synopsis. The world as we know it is gone. Torn from everyone due to two major things. First and foremost a biologica lweapon that no one wanted to take credit for after it was released and couldn't be stopped (a zombie virus of sorts) and the way that many nations thought to stop it from spreading was to destory everything they could ofcourse that didn't include them selves. So there the world was in a mexican standoff with hundreds of countries with hundreds of nuclear weapons just dareing one another to make the first move. Once again no one knew who started it but it didn't matter once it started the world was doomed. In an attempt to save people some scientists began working on a way to cryogenically frezze people so they could surive the on coming armegedon. The problem was before they could begin testing it on humnas the nukes began launching. In a bid to save them selves a family gave their youngest son to the scientists as a test subject. He had already been infected by the virus weeks before the nukes were being threatened and still retained his humanitiy. After being betrayed by his family after telling them of his ability to stay him self and a few things the bio weapon had changed in him physically he was sedated with enough drugs to kill a whole pride of elephants and forced to take part in the experiment. The last thing he remembers was watching his world close around him (his cryo pod) and his family's face of sadness but also hope in the fact that them betraying him may give them a chance to live. This is a fan fiction in which many aspects of one of my favorite games will be quiet prevelent. It will be obvious to those who have played it but for those who may not the game i'm going to be baseing some of the things in this novel is called Prototype. And no I do not own the rights to the cover. If the creater would like for me to pull it down please messege me.

Will You Be Alone? After The End? Don't You Know We're All Still Here?
More than a century ago the world was devastated, but that doesn't matter. Nobody cares about the past, stories from that time are as wildly conflicting as they are ridiculous--when any stories exist at all. There are problems in the here and now that need to be dealt with, bringing the past into things isn't going to help anyone. The fact is that young people all over the world are developing mysterious powers, and the public reactions to these powers are far from positive. Fair enough, you might say. Who wants a young man around who can conjure heat from the palm of his hand? How deeply undesirable is a girl who can bend your emotions to her will? What use, I ask you, is a girl whose very essence crackles with lightning? No use at all, I'd say. As for this so-called Mr Fin and his grand ideals, well, all I can say is that his clothing is of better quality than his plans. Vague allusions to a 'sanctuary' and a 'mysterious and powerful statue' are all very well, but when it comes to solid results I fear you may find him somewhat lacking. Mark my words and mark them well, following one such as him will only lead to tears. All in all, I'd say there's not much you could reasonably expect from a world such as this. Conflict, perhaps. Hardship, certainly. Despair, heartache, loss... ...hope? No, don't be ridiculous. Where could one find hope, in this ruin of an existence? Honestly, I am asking. Where?Discord
