Interstellar Industrial Age

The desolate lunar surface, the rim of a giant crater.

The lunar rover driven by Liu Hanwen came all the way, searching for minerals and collecting samples.

"DiDi~DiDi~"

The probe on the lunar rover suddenly made a different sound, and Liu Hanwen hurriedly looked over.

"It's really gold~"

Liu Hanwen looked at the content displayed on the computer, and couldn't help crying out in surprise.

"It turned out to be in the middle of this crater in front of me~"

Liu Hanwen looked at the huge crater in front of him. The crater was several hundred meters in diameter, like a huge pot on the ground.

In the middle of this giant crater, there is a huge meteorite. The detector detected that this meteorite actually contains a lot of gold.

"Find a spot and see if you can go down~"

Liu Hanwen drove the rover and began to walk around the edge of the crater, looking for some relatively flat areas, ready to go down to take a look.

Generally speaking, this extraterrestrial meteorite has great research value, especially this kind of meteorite on the moon.

Because the moon has no atmosphere, meteorites will not rub or burn when they land on the moon, and some of the information can be preserved well. This information is of great help to the study of the origin and evolution of the solar system.

What's more, this time, the detector also detected gold in this meteorite, which is not to be missed.

“The location is good~”

Soon, Liu Hanwen found a good location and carefully drove the rover to the crater.

The lunar rover is a high-tech product with very powerful functions. Climbing and descending slopes are not a problem at all. Very smoothly, the lunar rover driven by Liu Hanwen came to the middle of the crater.

Looking at the huge meteorite in front of me, it was elongated as a whole, like a pillar inserted into the soil of the moon. It was more than ten meters high and three or four meters in diameter, indicating that it was gray-brown.

"DiDi~DiDi~"

After coming to the side of this meteorite, the detector detected it more clearly,

There is indeed gold in this huge meteorite, and the content is amazing.

"Cut it and see~"

Liu Hanwen began to control the lunar rover to work.

The cutting tool on the lunar rover is very sharp. When cutting the meteorite, it is like cutting tofu. Soon, its outer shell is cut open, and a golden light enters Liu Hanwen's field of vision under the refraction of sunlight.

"I rely on~"

"Isn't this meteorite all gold?"

Liu Hanwen couldn't help crying out.

Then immediately control the lunar rover to slowly grind off the meteorite, indicating that soon, the meteorite case in an area was ground away, revealing a golden yellow piece.

"Look at me here, major discoveries, major discoveries~"

Liu Hanwen couldn't help but shouted loudly, and began to call Li Haiyang, Fang Bo, Kong Zhifei and others.

At the same time at the Earth Control Command Center, Liu Hanwen's discovery also alarmed everyone here.

"Dog head gold?"

Qin Yi also saw the picture sent back, and the whole person couldn't help but be slightly taken aback.

Such naturally formed large pieces of gold are called dog head gold, horseshoe gold, etc., and in ancient times, it was even related to luck, and people who got dog head gold were believed to have great luck.

So much so that people from all over the world are very keen to collect dog head gold, because it is not only gold, but also represents luck, wealth and many other things. It is almost a lot to own a piece of dog head gold. The dream of the super rich.

Because on the earth, the amount of dog head gold is too small, especially those with larger quality, which are very rare.

"This dog head gold is too big, isn't it?"

Qin Yi looked at the images in the video and couldn't help but say.

You must know that the largest dog head gold found on earth is the 'Canaan' dog head gold found in Brazil in 1983, and its mass is only 60 kilograms, which is more than 120 kilograms.

But at this time on the moon, as Liu Hanwen controlled the lunar rover to continuously grind and cut the outer shell of this huge meteorite, a super large piece of dog head gold gradually appeared in the field of vision.

Just the exposed part, it is more than 5 meters high, more than 4 meters long, and more than 2 meters wide, and the whole is also a long strip.

This is only a part of it, and part of it is buried in the soil, and Liu Hanwen alone will not be able to dig it out for a while.

Its volume is too large, the density of gold is very high, and it is very heavy. Even if the lunar rover is a high-tech product, there is no way to take it for a while.

"How much is this piece of gold worth?"

Here in the Earth Command and Control Center, when everyone saw this huge piece of bullion, this question mark could not help popping up in everyone's head.

Its volume is really too large, and the density of gold is very large, such a huge piece of dog head gold, even if it is calculated according to the price of gold.

"The density of gold is 19.26 grams per cubic centimeter, one cubic meter equals 1 million cubic centimeters, and one cubic meter of gold has 19.26 tons."

"This piece of gold, just the exposed part of it, is almost 40 cubic meters, which is 770 tons~"

Someone's eyes widened, and he calculated the weight of this piece of dog head gold very quickly and simply.

"According to the gold price of 300 yuan per gram, 1 ton of gold is worth about 5.8 billion yuan, and these 770 tons of gold are worth more than 4.4 trillion yuan~"

Then someone calculated the value of this piece of gold according to the current price, and even calculated the sky-high price of 4 trillion Chinese dollars, so that everyone around was stunned when they heard it.

What is the concept of more than 4,400 billion? 1.4 billion people in the country count, and everyone can be divided into more than 3,000. This is an extremely terrifying number. You must know that the annual GDP of dozens of provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions in China can exceed 40,000. There are not many provinces with billions of dollars.

"Li Haiyang, you all work together to dig it out and bring it back to Earth~"

The commander-in-chief of the manned lunar landing project was no longer calm, and couldn't help conveying orders to Li Haiyang who was on the moon.

Such a huge dog head gold, and scientists know just by looking at the luster it shows, its purity is very high, and the exposed part alone, its weight reaches 770 tons.

Once it is all dug up, its weight is likely to exceed 1,000 tons, a terrifying wealth worth several trillion Chinese dollars. This is definitely a windfall, even for a big country like China, it can be counted. It was a windfall.

You must know that the United States, which claims to have the largest gold reserves in the world, has more than 8,000 tons of gold reserves, while Huaxia's gold reserves are only about 1,800 tons.

Now, the weight of this piece of dog head gold is extremely likely to exceed a thousand tons, which is unbelievable, but it has to be believed.

"How can nature produce such a large amount of gold?"

Some scientists frowned, saying that the gold bullion is nothing, and someone can often find a piece or two of it, but who can believe the thousands of tons of bullhorn gold?

"That's great~"

"Such a huge gold bullion was discovered on the moon, worth several trillion Chinese dollars. As long as it is publicized, it is estimated that people all over the world will suffer from pink eye disease. These domestic capital and forces will naturally try their best to squeeze on the moon. Set off wave after wave of lunar gold rush~”

Qin Yi looked at the appearance of the people in the control command center, and his heart was filled with joy.

This is about to start the interstellar space age. If you can find something of special value, it will give people the feeling of gold everywhere and treasure everywhere, which is definitely the best.

Because people are profit-seeking creatures, always chasing interests, and gold has been able to make people crazy since ancient times, desperate for it, and not afraid of difficulties and obstacles.

In the era of great voyages, Westerners traveled far and wide to America for gold, silver, jewelry, etc.

In the development of the West in American history, cowboys braved the hail of bullets and crossed the vast Central Plains to the West, initially for the fascinating gold.

gold is wealth

For the sake of wealth, danger, difficulty, sweating, leaving home, etc. are nothing, even bloodshed and sacrifice are nothing.

There are treasures everywhere on the moon. This is absolutely true. There are extremely rich mineral deposits everywhere. The reserves are huge, and the mining is convenient and simple.

But the feeling of these minerals is not always as shocking as gold, only gold. When it appears in the mind, everyone will naturally think of wealth, and think of getting rich overnight and so on.

"It is estimated that there is no need for encouragement from above at all. Private capital and power will pour into the moon crazily. You can think about how lively the moon will be in the near future~"

Qin Yi's mind couldn't help but think of the scene of countless people panning for gold on the moon after the rise of the lunar gold rush. It must be very lively.

On the moon, Li Haiyang, Fang Bo, and Kong Zhifei also drove a lunar rover to Liu Hanwen's location. The efficiency of the four lunar rovers working together is naturally high.

It only took ten minutes, and the entire piece of huge gold bullion was dug up from the soil.

As everyone estimated, it weighed more than a thousand tons, and the meteorite crust on the surface was ground away, and the whole piece of dog head gold shone under the refraction of sunlight, emitting a mesmerizing golden light.

The mass of thousands of tons is so huge that the four powerful lunar engineering vehicles have no way to take it. If they have to, they can only divide it, otherwise there is really no way to bring it back to Earth.

PS: La La~~ I think gold is the strongest driving force for people to enter space, just like the Europeans in the Age of Voyages chased gold and silver.
