The [Trade-O-Mat] worked surprisingly well.
It had 63 slots inside for storing items.
It could also connect to various Industrial boxes to expand its capacity, with up to four boxes attached above, below, to the left, and to the right.
A [Steel Storage Box] also had 63 slots.
So the amount of merchandise a single [Trade-O-Mat] could hold was fucking huge!
The [Trade-O-Mat] supported both barter and purchases with currency.
Shen Jin could configure the buttons inside the [Trade-O-Mat] to scan two products first, after which its exchange terms would appear on the LCD panel at the front.
For example, two [Industrial Credits] could be exchanged for [a bag of rice].
The only drawback was that the current [Trade-O-Mat] could only handle one-on-one exchanges, not threesomes, foursomes, and so on.
The [Trade-O-Mat] required electricity.
It could run on a battery or be connected to a power supply.
Shen Jin tested it. The [Trade-O-Mat] consumed very little power, using only one unit of electricity for over a dozen transactions.
Just putting in an [Advanced Rechargeable Battery] would keep it running for several months.
Only Shen Jin and people he designated had permission to operate the [Trade-O-Mat].
As for security,
The [Trade-O-Mat]'s outer casing was made of steel and had very high defense.
Shen Jin tried it himself. Even wielding a sword with his own strength, he had to hack at it for a while before he could split it open.
Once it was split open, the items inside dropped out as block models.
Everyone except Shen Jin needed to wear [Traveler's Gloves] to pick them up.
And Shen Jin only issued those gloves to his Superhuman teams.
So as long as his teams did not turn against him, the [Trade-O-Mat] would be safe outside.
