Blackstone Code

If someone asks you what gold is for.

Then there must be something wrong with this person's brain.

Because it is impossible for a normal person to ask such a naive question.

Even if they don't know the further uses of gold, they at least have some understanding of its equivalent to wealth.

Lynch thought for a while, "Gold is a very stable inert metal. It has many applications in industrial development, such as electron tubes and electronic chips."

“At the same time, it is also a primitive currency that is recognized and accepted by everyone.”

“If the credit scheme doesn’t work, then gold will soon become the face of the new wealth and be reintroduced in all sanctuaries.”

After listening, Connor nodded as if he understood very well, "I understand this, then just ask them for the gold."

After he finished speaking, he seemed to have thought of something, "If the five major banks merge, does it mean that many of their businesses will have problems?"

The five major banks also control many companies in society and have investments in many industries.

For loans to enterprises, when the enterprise does not develop so smoothly and the rate of return is not very high, they will ask for repayment in cash.

But if the company develops smoothly, they will find ways to turn the loan into shares through various methods, such as additional loans or investments.

In the highly developed financial society of the Federation, almost all enterprises are inseparable from banks, and they all maintain a very complicated relationship with Yinbang.

If the five major banks liquidate their core assets and transfer them to Blackstone Bank, it is likely to trigger a huge financial crisis.

Connor was worried about this, but Lynch wasn't.

"In fact, the financial order should have collapsed long ago. If you go to Financial Street recently, you will see that it is more depressed than ever."

"The apocalypse has destroyed the financial order. The current financial prosperity is only built on the bubble of the rapid development of the shelter industry. After this year's meteorological and astronomical observation reports are released, these will not be problems."

"Instead of considering whether the five major industries will cause any problems, it is better to consider how to prepare people to enter shelters."

"If you notice the temperatures right now, we're running out of time."

In mid-to-late July, the temperature was only 5 to 6 degrees Celsius, and the weather station and observatory predicted that in September and October, the temperature would not exceed 10 degrees Celsius.

The Ice Age has arrived, but it hasn’t reached the bottom yet!

At the same time, agriculture has almost suffered a devastating blow, and ordinary farms have almost completely lost their production. Currently, only some highly cold-resistant plants are still being cultivated.

The situation in animal husbandry is slightly better. After all, there are many edible animals with long hair, such as sheep.

Their cold tolerance is relatively suitable, but they cannot live outdoors at temperatures of -40 to 50 degrees below zero.

Some scholars and experts have proposed a "large greenhouse" plan to build large greenhouse systems on the surface and use excess heat from geothermal power plants to maintain a constant temperature in these large greenhouses.

Some areas have begun to build large greenhouses, where thermal resources heat the air through copper pipes. Whether they can be successful remains to be tried.

Some people also heat the soil directly by arranging copper pipes in the soil. This can ensure that plants have a good temperature layer on the ground and a distance of 30 centimeters upward to ensure their growth.

There are many institutions studying these things, and these companies that are willing to study them, and the new concepts they propose, maintain the current federal financial order.

But even if they can continue to prosper, they won't prosper for long.

Once the federal government declares that people must enter shelters, the existing financial order will completely collapse.

Before that, how to allow ordinary people and companies to successfully withdraw from the exchange is what the federal government needs to consider.

Connor's life was very comfortable during this period. Nothing could disturb his mood. He spent most of his time killing time.

Hearing Lin Qi suddenly mention this, he still didn't react.

But soon, he realized that he might not be able to take any time off.

"You mean we're going to be in a shelter next year or the year after?"

Lynch nodded, "The area north of Bupen will have to live in shelters in the next year at most. The south can wait a little longer, but it won't be delayed for too long."

"You need to announce this."

In the federal northern region, as far as the border with Marillo, temperatures are still at and below freezing.

It is worth noting that it is summer, and the temperature remains below zero in summer, which can already explain a lot of problems.

Nowadays, people can still move outdoors while wearing thick clothes, but in fact, the scope and content of human activities have been restricted.

Not to mention that in winter, when the temperature is minus 40 or 50 degrees Celsius, humans cannot stay outdoors for long periods of time.

Every winter, more people freeze to death at home or even in their beds. The north is becoming increasingly unsuitable for people to live in. It is obviously necessary for them to enter the shelter in advance.

As for the Marillos…

who cares?

Connor's expression became more serious, "What a terrible news."

"What's even worse is that I have to break the terrible news."

"This reminds me of the letter of defeat and surrender read out by Emperor Pengeo. The only difference is that he lost to us."

"And we lost to this world!"

After chatting about unrelated topics for a while and lamenting the current society, Lynch left.

Connor stood behind the study window and watched Lynch leave. He always felt that Lynch wanted gold, not just because gold was related to industrial development, electronic development and currency.

There must be something else he doesn't know, but something important to Lynch requires Huang, so he changed his attitude towards the Five Elements!

what is it?

After returning to the villa from the bank, Lynch went directly to the bedroom. He walked into the cloakroom and looked at the golden thorn badge placed on it. More and more gold was pouring towards it from all places!

It seems to have swallowed up a lot of gold, but its volume has not increased at all, which is strange!

He placed the gold bars he brought back from the bank around the badge and stared at them with the naked eye for a while. It seemed that nothing had changed much.

He didn't know whether these were good changes or bad changes, but he had someone he could consult.

The former chief theologian of the Immortal Institution!

The Eternal Life Agency's earliest attempt to solve the problem of limited human lifespan was based on theology. Through research and exploration in all areas around the world where myths exist, they found many records related to "gods" and even some instruments!

Including liquid gold, including some explanations of gold that people have never thought about.

For example, gold is the blood of God because it leaves the body of God and becomes solid.

For example, gold is only a name for humans. In some mythological stories, it is called "divine crystal" or the like.

Various coincidences and non-coincidences made people obsessed with the exploration and research of God. However, later people found that it was more realistic to obtain a longer life span through medical science than to study the illusory God, so the Ministry of Theology withdrew from the main stage. .

But this does not mean that these researchers have also been disbanded. They are still doing research, but they are no longer the main research department.

Lin Qi called the person in charge directly and started talking about Gaode Particles.

"I heard the chief scientist talk about the impact of Gothe particles on living things. I am curious whether Gothe particles also have some impact on gold or some artifacts?"

The head of theology was surprised that Lynch would call suddenly. Since President Bowling successfully changed his body, the Department of Medical Science can be said to be the most prosperous department in eternity!

In a sense, they have realized the idea of ​​greatly increasing human lifespan, and they have done an extremely good job!

This also made the theology department, which had not received much attention before, become even more neglected, and even its funds became less abundant.

"Mr. Lynch, I'm glad you called me. I can answer your questions."

"Through our observations of gold and some special instruments, we noticed that gold also became active."

"If you have gold products around you, you will find that it is softer than before!"

"Even a girl can easily change the shape of gold in her hands. We also agree with your point of view. Gothe particles have a huge impact on gold!"

"This also confirms from the side that our previous research is correct. Gold is not a mineral, it is actually a biological tissue."

"Gode particles are also activating its cells!"

"Actually, we have a more intuitive name for Gothe particles. We call them -"

"God Particle!"

The theology expert became excited, "Mr. Lynch, God created life, God particles, giving new life to this world!"

"There is absolutely nothing wrong with our research direction. It's just that before we didn't discover the existence of the God particle, nor were we irradiated by it, so our research couldn't find the direction."

"But now, we have found the direction and the experiment is going smoothly."

"It's just... you know, we're short of funds right now."

"if you can……"

He was too embarrassed to speak directly. Asking for funds and donating were two different things.

Lynch didn't care that much, "I'll give you 200 million in cash, and at the same time, no matter you have any research progress, you must tell me as soon as possible."

The guy on the other end of the phone looked particularly excited, "No problem, Mr. Lynch, we will report to you the results of our work in three days!"

"I promise, this is the most correct and greatest investment you have ever made!"

After hanging up the phone, Lynch pondered for a while. If what the chief expert of the Ministry of Theology said was correct, even if it was only slightly related, it might change the future pattern!

Is science great?

Science is great!

Starting from the facts, science gives humans the possibility to challenge nature. Although it is destined to fail, at least it has such a possibility.

But in fact, the development of science is a helpless compromise after mankind cannot make any progress in theology!

Compared to the relatively great science, if theology can be successful, it will be the greatest academic field, bar none!

In the past, there might have been... no way to prove that God really existed.

but now……

If science can allow people to survive in the harsh environment of the Ice Age, then theology can make it possible for humans to continue to become the new masters of the new world under the Ice Age!

To Lynch at this time, this little money was no different than waste paper, but this waste paper could give him an opportunity, an opportunity to always stay ahead of the world!

Lynch walked out of the cloakroom, full of confidence in the outside world, and full of confidence in the future of mankind!

Walking on one leg may be a bit bumpy, but walking on two legs is much more stable!

In late July, early August, Connor gave a televised speech to the world, in which he stated that the planet was heading for ice.

There is not much time left for humans, and the northern region of the Federation will enter a completely frozen state in two years.

At the same time, we are also reminding all federal residents, and all people living in temperate to cold zones, to pay attention to entering shelters in a timely manner.

In addition to this bad news, Connor also listed some good news.

For example, the research and development of highly cold-resistant crops, such as the breeding of long-haired cattle, and large-scale surface greenhouse systems in some areas were also mentioned.

Although the end is getting closer, there are more and more ways for people to fight against it.

Human civilization will not come to an end because of climate change, but will move to a new starting point and have new goals because of the harshness of nature!

Connor's speech played a very important role in the entire society. In his speech, he proposed "face the future and respect the destiny" and was quoted by leaders of many countries.

The resistance of some people in society who are resistant to shelters has also been greatly alleviated.

Some northern shelters began to operate in an orderly manner, and a large number of people began to prepare to enter the shelter life.

In mid-August, the Flight Research Institute made new breakthroughs in electronic components, and at the same time, the first man-made satellite was successfully launched into synchronous orbit.

The Global Communication Plan has begun to be officially implemented, and the rocket factory has begun full operation to make adequate preparations for the next launch.

Social changes also occurred, and countries began to migrate to the tropics.

Many people, including the Federation, began to spontaneously migrate to the tropics, and the north was completely abandoned.

Areas such as Marillo have become one of the most densely populated areas in the world.

Of course, it is worth mentioning that Slem is still intoxicated!

Countless high-rollers from all over the world experience the ultimate drunkenness of life and death here. They spend their money and enjoy the last carnival before the end!

From this moment on, the whole world is officially moving in a direction that no one would have thought of ten years ago...

Super powers won’t appear before the end of the article, and there’s something going on tonight, so I’ll update a little later.
