Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 1014 Gold
"Our first detection work should be regarded as a success." After three consecutive days of detection, Liang En happily announced to all the historical entourage gathered in the living room of the room, "And we also have a huge harvest."

"Harvest, what can be gained from a world with only dust and stones?" Mary looked at Liang En's puzzled face, she didn't think such an extremely barren planet was meaningful.

"Of course, if you say that you have successfully connected to the new world, then it is indeed an important gain, after all, it is connected to a new world."

"Contacting a new world is of course something to be happy about, and it can be regarded as a big gain. This proves that the knowledge we obtained before is correct, and we can indeed open a passage to another world."

"But apart from this harvest, we actually have some more valuable harvests." Liang En smiled and took out a glass test tube and said. "You can tell by looking at it."

"Let me see." Mary reached out and took the test tube that Liang En handed over, shook it lightly, then widened her eyes, "What is this golden one? Could it be gold?"

"It's gold." Liang En nodded with a smile, and then said seriously to the ladies present. "We found a place where a suspected asteroid landed, and then found these things from the surrounding sand and rocks."

Gold is a metal that comes from the stars, and most gold was ejected by neutron star collisions long ago.Originally there were protons and neutrons in the universe, they spontaneously turned into hydrogen, helium, lithium and other elements.

And the birth of stars can make these three elements fuse, releasing energy continuously, and producing more and more elements in the process.

When many neutron stars collide to generate energy, more neutrons will decay into protons, and the number of protons will become larger and larger. At this time, heavy metals such as gold are formed.

Therefore, a lot of gold exists on various asteroids, and even some asteroids are mainly composed of gold, and when they become meteorites and fall on the planets, they will naturally form gold-enriched areas.

What Liang En and the others found now is a gold-enriched area obviously formed by the falling meteorite, and the sandstone in the test tube he took out now was found from the core area of ​​that area.

Even though the place where the tube of sand was found was two to three hundred meters away from the real core area, the gold inside was more visible to the naked eye. Under the joint witness of four people, they easily separated a small piece of gold from it.

"The gold content is 32%, which is too scary." Elizabeth was shocked. He is also helping to run a gold mine now, so he naturally knows what the normal gold mine grade should be.

According to current international standards, a ton of gold ore with a gold content exceeding 3g is valuable for mining, and anything exceeding 100g can be called an absolute rich ore.

Now, in the dust of this gold-enriched zone, the gold content in one ton of dust is about 320g, and it is very easy to purify it, and the cost can be said to be far lower than any gold mine on earth.

"Approximately how much gold is here?" After stabilizing her mood, Elizabeth asked another key question. "If there are not many—"

"Probably around 4000~6000t. After all, the current investigation is very superficial, so many places cannot be determined." Liang En replied after thinking for a few seconds.

"That's enough." Elizabeth nodded in satisfaction after hearing the number. "The gold reserves of Americans are only over 8000 tons, and here is at least half of the gold reserves of Americans, which is enough for us."

Unlike currencies, gold is clearly more valuable in transactions.Especially for Liang En's global business, it is obviously valuable to have some common currencies in various countries.

Currencies with relatively large international influence such as the US dollar, British pound, euro or Japanese yen can certainly achieve this goal, but they will still suffer a series of losses due to changes in currency exchange rates.

Therefore, compared with credit currency, natural currency gold obviously has special advantages.Therefore, having a stable and safe source of gold is very helpful for their next business expansion.

"The question now is how much gold we can get from here in a day." Elizabeth quickly asked a crucial question. "After all, we have a little problem now and need gold."

For the banking industry, reserves are very important, but now the banks in their hands have insufficient reserves due to a historical problem.And as long as there is enough gold, Elizabeth can solve this problem.

"80-120 kilograms per day." Liang En said after some calculations, "There are still many problems with the detailed positioning of the time-space gate, so now the time-space gate can only be opened about 30km away from the gold-enriched area."

"Because there is no road, and the combined structure used for excavation and transportation is limited, so this number is already the limit. It cannot be increased in a short time."

"However, things will gradually change. Whether it is the accuracy of the space door's locking to the space or the quality of the transportation and excavation equipment, it will improve. At that time, the mining speed will also accelerate."

To be honest, it is basically impossible to improve the positioning accuracy of the time-space gate in a short period of time, because this problem is too complicated, and it is still a systematic project.Liang En can only say that he has a clue now, but when it will be done depends on luck.

But transporting excavation equipment is another kind of difficulty. I didn't think of this before, so I can only temporarily modify an electric old man to barely use it.

However, considering the huge dust and bad road conditions in that place, this kind of emergency equipment can only last for a month or two at most, after which a professional equipment is necessary.

"This amount is enough. When the time comes, you can send the gold directly to the place I mentioned." Elizabeth is very satisfied with the current mining volume as a whole.

"Maybe because of our expansion, some small banks took the opportunity to set us up this time. So this time I also have to teach them a lesson and tell them that I am not easy to mess with."

Obviously, the competition within the financial industry is also very fierce. Although Liang En's current bank is a small bank and will not attract the attention of those big banks for the time being, the competition among small banks is also very fierce.

For example, after Liang En and his bank encountered problems this time, several banks that overlapped with their business scope all attacked them.

However, this was also within Elizabeth's expectations, but she underestimated the number and scale of the banks that launched the attack, which resulted in no problem with self-protection, but she was unable to take this opportunity to fight back as planned.

For Elizabeth, this may be a bit regrettable, but it will not cause too much negative impact. After all, for her, this small matter is only a small part of life.

But she didn't expect to find so much gold this time, and with these gold as the backing, she can naturally continue with the previous plan to trick the banks that attacked her.
