The Memoirs of Cultivating Immortals

Chapter 120 Persuasion
"Mutant is the inevitable path that human beings will take in the evolution." Magneto said in a deep voice: "The reason why the general public hates mutants is precisely because they don't understand the specific principles of supernatural powers.

Ignorance leads to fear, and fear leads to hatred. If the probability of mutants appearing can be increased by several orders of magnitude, then this fear of the unknown will be diluted, and even put down the grudges and accept the glorious evolution calmly. "

Speaking of this, the unruly and deep old man lowered his head slightly, and said to Li Ang humbly and gently: "This is also the reason why I beg you to help me on behalf of all mutants."

"Well" Li Ang tapped the glass in his hand with his fingertips, pondered for a moment, and said, "I'm just an ordinary person, and I have neither reason nor position to participate in this 'evolution' struggle. If you want to convince me, you need More chips."

Magneto frowned and breathed a sigh of relief. Since the other party was not a purebred human chauvinist and didn't sternly reject it immediately, there was still room for mediation and negotiation.

"As you know, my ability is to manipulate the magnetic field." Magneto flipped his palm, and all the metal utensils in the room were floating in the air, and a wisp of fine golden sand seeped in through the closed door of the next room , twisting and twisting like a snake, climbing onto the tea table in front of Li Ang.

Gold, symbol Au, atomic mass 196, melting point 1064°C, boiling point 2808°C, a symbol of wealth.

"There are endless gold at the bottom of the ocean. As long as I use my superpowers on the sea surface, I can find rich ore through extremely weak magnetic field changes. Then through magnetic field manipulation, I can easily search for several tons or even dozens of tons every day. of gold."

Magneto snapped his fingers, and the door of the next room suddenly opened, inside was filled with countless long strips of gold bricks, arranged in the shape of a pyramid, almost touching the ceiling of the roof.

The brilliant and ostentatious flashes almost blinded the eyes. Li Ang took a deep breath, stood up from the sofa, walked to the pair of gold, picked up a piece and kneaded it in his hands.

The fraternity mutants in the living room looked at each other and smiled. No one could resist the temptation of gold. Even they themselves, who have extraordinary power and different vision from ordinary people, felt a little dazed when they saw such a huge wealth. Let alone the mortal president of a technology company.

Magneto stood up and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Li Ang, as long as you agree, these gold bricks are yours, and as the plan progresses, we will continue to provide you with wealth."

"." Li Ang lowered his head, rounded and flattened the gold bar like playing with mud, turned around and said indifferently: "I have to say, I am very disappointed in you."

"Huh?" Magneto raised his brows and asked in a somewhat blunt tone, "What do you mean?"

Li Ang said coldly: "Each link of gold exploration, mining, production and processing, trading and circulation, and value-added savings is extremely cumbersome and complicated.

The largest gold producer in the world, Barrick Corporation, has worked hard and diligently to search for gold from mines in the United States, Canada, Peru, Argentina, Australia, and Dominica. The mining volume in a year is only 600 million ounces. Approximately equal to 168 tons.

As for you, Mr. Magneto, relying on your abilities can completely crush this insignificant amount of mining. "

Magneto frowned and said, "I'm not keen on wealth, as long as I can keep the brotherhood going."

"Wrong!" Li Ang threw the smashed gold nugget on the ground, and said indifferently: "In the world's gold reserve rankings, the United States ranks first with 8133 tons, accounting for 73.3% of foreign exchange reserves, and Germany is second with 3391 tons , accounting for 69% of foreign exchange deposits. The so-called World Monetary Fund, which has a big name, only owns 2814 tons of gold.”

The data Li Ang put forward, let alone those mutants who dropped out of high school, even Magneto, who is self-taught and has a master's degree in engineering, has never understood it, so he can only stare blankly and listen patiently to the other party's eloquent narration.

"What is gold? It is wealth, the cornerstone of maintaining the world monetary fund system, and the lifeblood of the political and economic structure of modern society."

"The gold standard system began to sprout in the middle of the nineteenth century, and it was not until August 1971 that the U.S. government stopped the service of exchanging US dollars for gold that the incomplete gold exchange standard system collapsed.

This is not to say that the status of gold has declined. On the contrary, the reason why the gold standard system collapsed is that those capitalists on Wall Street had a better weapon, the paper money standard system. "

"The Federal Reserve, under the control of capitalists, relies on its huge gold reserves and the US's tyrannical military strength to link the dollar banknotes to the world economy. Countries that cannot tear this system apart can only accept it passively and let the United States control the economic lifeline."

"As long as the U.S. starts printing money, the kidnapped people all over the world will have to work for it. In other words, the whole world will work for the U.S. dollar printing machine of the Federal Reserve."

Magneto couldn't help but interjected: "Wait, what you said, what does this have to do with us mutants?"

"Oh, that's why you people have rigid thinking." Li Ang sighed bitterly: "The total amount of gold ever mined in the world is only 14 tons. If it is melted into liquid, it can fill three 3-meter-long gold mines." Standard size swimming pool.

The current monetary system in the world is still based on gold savings. If Magneto goes all out and puts several gold statues the size of the Statue of Liberty in the capitals of several countries, the next day the whole world will set off an unprecedented financial crisis.

The dollar bills saved by countless people have become waste paper. Years of savings have all been wasted. Countless companies have gone bankrupt.

In order to continue to maintain their detached status, the frustrated capitalists are bound to start local wars, and the whole world will be dragged and dragged into the abyss of war. "

The mutants present had never personally experienced such a tragic economic crisis, but when they heard Li Ang's narration without a trace of emotion, a layer of white sweat rose up on their backs for no reason.

"You have dragon slaying skills but don't know how to use them. Instead, you were forced to flee in a hurry by those violent federal agencies with big cats and small cats. You are in constant panic. You are really ashamed of this gift from heaven." Li Ang shook his wrist wryly. Shaking his head, he sighed and said: "How easy it is to improve the social status of mutants, as long as Mr. Magneto sends a video of himself moving out the entire gold mine from the bottom of the sea to the White House, and those who keep those capitalist dog legs die down and honestly give up the mutants. persecution policy.”

Magneto was stunned, looking at his ordinary palm, he didn't know what to say.

"The methods are endless. As long as you dare to think and do it, you can show off the audience in minutes." Li Ang walked in front of Magneto, patted him on the shoulder peacefully, and said, "Move an iron bridge or It's too low to use the stadium to hit people, now, let's do something big with me."
