Chapter 159 The Currency Revolution
A large amount of solid water resources was discovered on the moon. He immediately ordered the surveyors not to leak it. They kept it strictly confidential, because with the existence of water, the construction of the lunar base will be smoother in the future, and even in the future. You can also build a lunar city. With water, everything else is simple. Otherwise, how can you say that water is the source of life.

The water discovered this time is in solid form at the bottom of a crater, and the reserves are huge, which is completely sufficient for the consumption of the lunar base in the future.

Moreover, the discovery of these water resources proves that there must be more water on the moon, so on the second day after receiving the news, Zhu Lei prepared a large number of geologists and prospectors on the moon, preparing to conduct research on the moon. Large-scale exploration, just to talk about it, the main goal is the water resources on the moon. Of course, in addition to water resources, other minerals are also among the goals of this exploration.

And he also ordered these prospectors to analyze and determine the reserves as soon as they found water resources, and then edit them into a distribution map of lunar resources, which can be used as a reference when another base is built in the future, and now Zhu Lei is not worried Foreign forces landed on the moon to occupy these places. After all, other countries on the earth except the Ming Empire have no ability to land on the moon. According to Zhu Lei's estimation, it will take at least ten years for other countries in the world to land on the moon. And ten years is enough for Zhu Lei to do a lot of things.

Moreover, Zhu Lei is not going to keep the discovery of water resources on the moon secret for a long time. As long as Zhu Lei completes the construction of the first lunar base, he will make this matter public. After all, such a big thing is impossible. Never tell the truth.

After the construction of the lunar base is completed, a large number of personnel will definitely be stationed, and it will definitely not be kept secret by then. After all, all countries in the world are paying attention to every move of the Gate Empire.

Moreover, there must be more than such a little water on the moon, there must be more water resources, and it is impossible for the Ming Empire to take all these water resources for itself. When countries are able to build the moon, Ming Dynasty The empire must have taken some water-rich places already.Moreover, the Ming Empire will definitely be able to carry out large-scale immigration by then, and the importance of these water resources on the moon will be revealed at that time.

Just when Zhu Lei was extremely excited about discovering a large amount of water resources on the moon, the largest gold battery manufacturing base in Zhu Lei's fiefdom was also completed. This gold battery production base was built by Zhu Lei and the country, and it occupies a very large area. It is wide and the output is also very large. If the energy is sufficient, the daily output will reach [-] tons. Of course, this is the output when the energy is sufficient.

But the current Ming Empire does not have so much excess energy to charge these produced gold essence batteries, because if the production of gold essence batteries of this output is fully charged in a single day, it will require 50 trillion kilowatt-hours of electricity. Such a huge amount of electricity consumed by the Ming Empire would be very difficult to support even with the electricity of the whole country. You must know that this is only the electricity consumed by charging every day. If it is used for a whole year, the electricity consumed will be astronomical.

Although when Zhu Lei started to build this battery production base, the officials of the Ming Empire also built a large number of various power plants in various parts of the country, among which solar power and nuclear power plants are the main ones. A large number of solar panels have been laid on both sides, but this is just a drop in the bucket for Daming's current huge power consumption, and the construction of nuclear power plants often takes a lot of time to build, so now before the construction of a large number of nuclear power plants is completed, The gold essence battery production base in Zhu Lei's fief is simply unable to produce at full power, so with the current power provided by the Ming Empire, this production base can only provide about [-] tons of gold essence batteries per day.

But no matter what, the completion of this base now marks a solid material foundation for the new monetary policy of the Ming Empire.

So a few days later, the Ming Empire held a press conference at the Empire Theater, announcing the new currency system of the Ming Empire.

Although it is said that in the near future, the new system will run together with the old currency system, but the old currency system will gradually withdraw from the currency system of the daimyo step by step, and the new currency system of the Ming Empire will no longer be linked to gold, but directly Hook up with that.

After the Ming Empire announced that it would implement a new currency system, the press conference exploded. After all, currency is linked to gold. This is currently the mainstream currency system in the world, and this system was announced after the Ming Empire announced a new currency system. After the monetary system was implemented, it was suddenly broken.

Moreover, such important news had not been disclosed within the Ming Empire before, and even many high-ranking officials of the Ming Empire did not know about it.Although before that the Ming Empire.

A few months ago, he began to recycle his own currency and sell off the currencies of other countries. Although such actions aroused the suspicion of many people. After all, no country had so many before, but only the Ming Empire did it. Thinking about the large number of people in the Ming Empire, To expand the army, everyone thought that the Ming Empire’s crazy currency was prepared for war.

But no one would have thought that the Ming Empire's actions were just a foreshadowing for the issuance of new currencies, and now the answer is finally revealed.

The reason why the Ming Empire is called is that it is the currency of the Ming Empire. From then on, it is no longer linked to gold, but directly linked to energy. In other words, the Ming Empire has implemented an energy-based monetary policy since then.

It is conceivable that after the press conference of the Ming Empire, the prices of precious metals such as gold and silver will plummet, and the currencies of other countries will also fall with the drop in the price of gold. How much will the price of gold drop? Now no one knows, unless the rest of the world takes action to stabilize the price of gold.

But what is certain is that if no one takes over all the gold reserves in the treasury of the Ming Empire, a large amount will definitely flow to the market, and the consequences will definitely be unimaginable. It depends on the specific operations of each country.

Although the Ming Empire previously purchased a large amount of its own currency and sold the currencies of other countries, it had already attracted the attention of countries around the world, especially those international financial giants and banking consortiums.

And they also quietly began to acquire the currency of the Ming Empire as the Ming Empire acquired its own currency. Although they did not know what the specific purpose of the Ming Empire was, after all, what they were doing was that they were just international financial giants, and A superpower like the Ming Empire is something they will never be able to reach.
