Starting My Treasure Hunting In England - Chapter 1014

“Our first detection work should be considered a success.” After three consecutive days of detection, Liang En happily announced to all the historical followers gathered in the living room of the room, “And we have also made huge gains.”

“Harvest, what can be gained from a world with only dust and stones?” Mary looked at Liang En with a confused look on her face. She didn’t think there was any meaning to such an extremely barren planet.

“Of course, if you say you successfully contacted the new world, then it is indeed an important gain. After all, you have contacted a new world.”

“It’s certainly a joy to be connected to a new world, and it can also be considered a big gain. This proves that the knowledge we obtained before is correct, and we can indeed open a passage to another world.”

“But besides this harvest, we actually have some more valuable harvests.” Liang En said with a smile, taking out a glass test tube. “You’ll know just by looking at it.”

“Let me see.” Mary reached out and took the test tube handed over by Liang En and shook it gently, then her eyes widened, “What is this golden thing? Is it gold?”

“It’s gold.” Liang En smiled and nodded, and then said seriously to the ladies present. “We found a suspected asteroid impact point and found these things in the surrounding sand and gravel.”

Gold is a metal that comes from the stars. Most gold was ejected from neutron star collisions long ago. There were originally protons and neutrons in the universe, and they spontaneously turned into elements such as hydrogen, helium, and lithium.

The birth of a star allows these three elements to fuse and continuously release energy, and at the same time, more and more elements are produced 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 of the level of gold are formed.

Therefore, a lot of gold exists on various asteroids, and some asteroids are even mainly composed of gold. When they turn into meteorites and fall on the planet, they will naturally form gold-rich areas.

What Liang En and the others found now was a gold-rich area that was obviously formed by the impact of meteorites. The test tube of sand and gravel he took out now was found from the core of that area.

Even though the place where the tube of sand and gravel was found was still two to three hundred meters away from the real core area, the gold inside was much visible to the naked eye. Witnessed by the four people, they easily separated a small piece of gold from it.

“The gold content is 32%, which is too scary.” Elizabeth looked shocked. He was also helping to operate a gold mine, so he naturally knew what the normal gold mine grade should be.

According to current international standards, a ton of gold ore with a gold content of more than 3g is valuable for mining, and any gold ore with more than 100g can be regarded as an absolute rich ore.

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

“Approximately how much gold is there?” After stabilizing her mood, Elizabeth asked another key question. “If it’s not a lot—”

“Probably around 4000~6000t. After all, the current investigation is very superficial, so many places are uncertain.” Liang En answered after thinking for a few seconds.

“That’s enough.” Elizabeth nodded with satisfaction after hearing the number. “Americans only have more than 8,000 tons of gold reserves, and here we have at least half of the Americans’ gold reserves, which is enough for us.”

Unlike currency, gold is significantly more valuable in various transactions. Especially considering Liang En’s global business, having some currencies that are common to all countries is obviously valuable.

Currencies with relatively large international influence, such as the U.S. dollar, pound, euro or 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 secure source of gold will be very helpful for their subsequent business expansion.

“The question now is, how much gold can we get from here in one day.” Elizabeth quickly asked a key question. “After all, we have a bit of a problem now and need gold.”

For the banking industry, reserves are very important, but now the banks they have have insufficient reserves due to a certain historical problem. And as long as she has enough gold, Elizabeth can solve this problem.

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

“Because there are no roads and the combined transport capacity of the combined structure used for excavation and transportation is limited, this number is already the limit. It cannot be increased in a short time.”

“But things will slowly change over time. Both the accuracy of the space door’s space locking and the quality of the transportation and excavation equipment will be improved, and the mining speed will also accelerate by then.”

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

But transporting excavation equipment is another level of difficulty. I had never thought of this before, so I could only temporarily modify an electric Laotoule to use it reluctantly.

However, considering the huge dust and poor road conditions in that place, this kind of emergency equipment can only last for a month or two at most, and then 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 generally very satisfied with the current mining volume.

“Perhaps because of our expansion, some small banks took the opportunity to set a trap for us this time. So I have to teach them a lesson this time 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 big banks for the time being, the competition between 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 launched attacks on them.

However, this was within Elizabeth’s expectation, but she had underestimated the number and scale of the banks that launched the attack, which resulted in no problem in protecting herself, but she was unable to take this opportunity to fight back as planned.

This may be a bit regretful for Elizabeth, but it will not cause too much negative impact. After all, for her, this little thing is only a small part of life.

But she didn’t expect that she would find so much gold this time. With the gold as a backing, she could naturally continue her previous plan to deceive the banks that attacked her.
