Chapter 174 The Total Amount of Gold in the World! Shocking for Thousands of Years!

Amid the netizens’ sighs.

Lao Wang also slowly finished his meal.

I finished my photoshoot in a happy mood.

How could the ancient people not understand when they saw Lao Wang’s reaction?
Tang Dynasty.

Li Longji saw Lao Wang's reaction on the screen and the feedback from the comments, and guessed:

"It is said that the Arab Empire is a top power that can be compared with our Tang Dynasty."

"But the old king from the later generations of the Arab Empire was so afraid of fireworks!"

"Could it be that his homeland has become a ruin in the flames of war in later generations?"

"And who did that?"

Late Han Dynasty.

Liu Bei said with deep emotion:
"The weapons of war in later times are inherently extremely powerful."

"I don't know what this old king on the sky has experienced."

"And what happened in his home country?"

A new canopy soon appeared.

This is a related video, and the content of the video is Lao Wang being interviewed by the media.

[Reporter: Hello, Lao Wang, you are now quite popular on the domestic Internet, and the videos you shoot are also very popular among netizens. ”]

【So, you are over there in your own country. 】

[Are there any friends in Iraq or Syria who contacted you after watching the video you shot and want to come to China? ]

After hearing this question.

He just smiled bitterly and shook his head helplessly.

[No, all the friends I knew are gone because of the war.]

[I really hope they are still here, then I will...]

【Hey……】

Old Wang on the sky curtain took a deep breath.

[If they are still here, I can find a way to arrange for them to come. ]

[Sometimes, at the dinner table, some Chinese friends would introduce me to someone like: Lao Wang, this is a friend I grew up with.]

[I really envy them...they have friends they grew up with.]

The short curtain call ended with a very deep appeal.

The ancients, especially those who lived in turbulent times, also had deep empathy.

The sky gradually darkened.

On the second day, the sky curtain began to play as usual.

The new sky curtain, the title is shining with gold!

The text of the title caught everyone's attention.

【Do you know how much gold there is on earth? 】

[Do you know how to produce gold? ]

At the same time, a large number of golden coins appeared on the sky, which was very dazzling.

Seeing this title, it would be hard for ancient people not to pay attention!

Whether it is the wealthy ancient merchants.

Or he is an emperor who possesses all the wealth in the world.

Or they may be beggars on the streets who can't even afford to eat.

Who doesn’t like gold?
Shi Chong, a wealthy man in the Jin Dynasty, said:
“I may be rich, but I’m not rich enough!”

“I am rich only when I am so rich that even the oil daddies of the future generations dare not compare themselves with me!”

tomorrow.

Emperor Jiajing's eyes lit up instantly!

Shouting at the shot of gold appearing on the sky.

"Ah, gold!"

"My money!"

Under the common gaze of countless ancient people in all dynasties.

The sky begins to tell the story.

[In recent times, the international gold price has been rising rapidly! ]

[The cost of buying gold jewelry has also been rising, and many netizens are saying they can’t afford it! ]

[But the more unaffordable gold is, the more it is sought after by the new generation of young people. ]

【Many traditional precious jewellery products have shown signs of weakness.】

[Even diamonds, which are said to be forever, no longer attract the attention of many young people. ]

[Why is gold still strong and continues to maintain an upward trend?]

[Is it because gold is rare? ]

【It has to be said that gold is indeed rare. 】

[But if you ask about the total amount of gold on earth, the amount of gold is beyond your imagination! ]

[Do you know how much gold there is in the earth? ]

[According to scientists' research and calculations, the total reserves of gold on Earth are about 400 billion tons! ]

[If 400 billion tons of gold were distributed equally to every Chinese. ]

[On average, each person can get nearly 30 million tons of gold! ]

shocked!
All dynasties took a deep breath at the same time!

When that huge number that was impossible to understand appeared on the screen.

Even the ancients who made the boldest estimates before found it hard to believe this number.

Qin Dynasty.

"How many did you say?"

"Four hundred billion tons?"

"How many tens of millions of tons does each person get on average?"

Ying Zheng looked at the sky and saw the incalculable amount of gold reserves!
Then he thought about the gold in the Qin treasury.

Compared with the numbers given on the sky screen.

That's just a drop in the bucket.

"I know that it is impossible for my Great Qin to have so much gold."

"So which country has all this gold?"

"In such a vast area of ​​the world, which country has so much gold!"

"Tianmu, please tell me!"

"As long as you tell me his location, even if he is far away in the world, even in America, I will conquer him!"

And in the Han Dynasty.

Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, had recently been worried about how to prepare military funds for a large-scale attack on the Huns.

Although his capable officials, represented by Sang Hongyang, had worked very hard.

I'm already trying to find ways to expand my sources of income.

But war is a money-eating beast!

Even the entire Han Dynasty had been mobilized to serve in the northern expedition against the Huns.

There is still a huge gap in military spending!

As a result, Wei Qing and his men were restricted when formulating battle plans.

Always calculate how long this battle can last. If no results are achieved after a certain period of time, the troops must be withdrawn.

This is a situation where because of lack of money, one can only fight lightly and it is not satisfying.

Not only Wei Qing felt annoyed.

Liu Che himself was also feeling uncomfortable!
But there was no other way. They wanted to fight happily for several years and destroy the Huns in one fell swoop.

The Han people really don't have that kind of money.

But now the sky says.

There are 400 trillion tons of gold in the entire world!
If distributed equally to the Chinese people in future generations, everyone will get 30 million tons of gold!
This amount of gold is to be divided among the men who own it. Then how much can each person get?

Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, couldn’t even figure it out!
But Liu Che knew that it was definitely a huge number!

He also knew that as long as he possessed even one-tenth or even one-hundredth of the gold in the sky!

It is also enough to permanently solve the Han Dynasty’s military expenditure problem!

I'm afraid that by then, the Han Dynasty will not be short of gold, but will have to worry about the depreciation of gold.

Song.

Song Gaozong Zhao Gou saw so much gold on the sky.

Naturally, I was very jealous.

I hope I can get some of it too.

But Zhao Gou was a pragmatic man.

He stared at the gold dozens of times repeatedly.

Zhao Gou sighed as he looked at the gold on the sky.

"Although there is a lot of gold, I know that it does not belong to our Song Dynasty!"

"My Song Dynasty doesn't have that kind of luck. With so much gold, it won't be my Song Dynasty's turn."

"Oh, what a pity!"

"If you give me 400 million tons, not even 40,000 tons of gold, then my Song Dynasty will take off!"

"The country has so much gold."

"If we send annual tribute to the Jurchens in the north, no one will object and say that it is a waste of national resources, right?"

"If the Song Dynasty had 40,000 tons of gold."

"What if I send the Jin people a hundred tons of gold as annual tribute every year?"

"Song Dynasty, there is money!"

"Alas, it's a pity that it's not realistic after all."

“I can only envy.”

“It is estimated that the people of later generations have achieved golden freedom.”

Basically, ancient people were very envious and jealous of the almost unlimited gold.

But I also know that it is basically impossible for me to get my turn.

But even so, everyone continued to look at the sky intently.

I want to see the follow-up to see if there are any clues about obtaining the gold.

Even if it's just a small part that's missing.

Tianmu continued to tell the story.

[The exact weight of the earth's gold cannot be measured directly. ]

【Instead, it is calculated. 】

[The total mass of the Earth, multiplied by the percentage of gold in the Earth's mass, gives us the number of 400 trillion tons of gold.]

[But despite the total amount of gold on Earth, it seems huge. ]

[But more than 99 percent of them are located deep in the Earth's core.]

[Much of the rest also lies in the mantle.]

[With the current level of human mining, it is impossible to mine now and in the foreseeable future. ]

【Don’t even think about it. 】

[The total amount of gold in the earth's crust that humans can mine is more than 60 trillion tons. ]

[But these are gold elements deep in the Earth's crust, as well as in seawater. ]

[Although it can be mined in theory. ]

[But in reality, due to limitations in technology costs and other factors, it is not something that humans can mine today.]

[This removes more than 90 percent.]

[The gold currently mined by humans is basically gold from the shallow surface. ]

[From the beginning of human history to the present, in this long period of time, the total amount of gold mined is only 170,000 tons. ]

[Of this, about 25,000 tons have been worn out in use.]

[The remaining 14.5 tons of gold are used for currency reserves, personal collections, jewelry or other industrial purposes. ]

【So gold is still rare to humans. 】

[Even for the Earth, even though the Earth’s total gold reserves are 400 billion tons! ]

[But in fact, in comparison, the content of gold in the earth is very rare. ]

[The gold reserves on Earth only account for 15/1 of the Earth's total mass. ]

[This ratio is much lower than many other elements, such as iron, aluminum, magnesium, etc. ]

[Gold is extremely rare on Earth, but for humans, the total amount seems huge.]

……

When the ancient people saw this, they were all somewhat disappointed.

At first, seeing so much gold was really scary.

But it seems that gold is still very scarce!

Jiajing was also somewhat disappointed:
"What a pity for my gold."

"I wonder if I can make gold if I work hard on refining the elixir?"

Tianmu also continued to tell the story, which surprised many people.

【Although gold is very rare on earth. 】

[But it is equally rare in the universe! ]

[Of course, if you look at the total amount, the amount of gold in the universe is terrifying! ]

[After all, the universe is infinite, and the total amount of gold is theoretically infinite. ]

[There are even many planets that are mainly made of gold and covered with gold! ]

[Many people have hypothesized that the main source of gold on Earth is also asteroids or meteorites hitting the Earth, bringing a large amount of gold from the universe to Earth.]

【But although the total amount of gold in the universe is huge. 】

[But relatively speaking, gold is also a rare hard currency in the universe. ]

[Because how gold was created in the universe remains an unsolved mystery. ]

[The most reliable hypothesis at present is that gold originated from a terrifying and shocking supernova explosion! ]

[Because gold, as a chemical element, is a heavy metal element. ]

[Stars have high temperatures and high pressures, and can continuously produce various elements.]

[But when stars start to produce iron, since iron is the most stable element, it becomes very difficult for stars to continue to synthesize other elements.]

[But if this big star eventually explodes as a supernova, it can form elements heavier than iron.]

[For example, gold and uranium. ]

[The gold element produced by the supernova explosion forms cosmic dust in the universe and flies to all parts of the universe.]

【Eventually, under the influence of the geomagnetic field, it falls into countless planets including the Earth.】

[Not even all supernova explosions can form gold! ]

[In addition to supernova explosions, there is another theory that is even more bizarre. ]

[It is said that two neutron stars attracted each other until they collided and merged together, emitting a terrifying gamma-ray burst.]

[This kind of neutron star merger is more powerful and can also synthesize more gold. ]

[Experts believe that neutron star fusion is the real way to produce most of the gold in the universe. ]

[But even in the context of the universe, neutron star fusion is still a very rare event, perhaps only once every hundreds of millions of years.]

[It can be said that the synthesis of gold is long, difficult and rare. ]

[This is why, even in the universe, gold is still a rare commodity. ]

The sky video ends.

Everyone watched this popular science about gold very seriously.

《Bullet screen: The forge of the universe! The stars are the great alchemy furnace! 》

《I don’t understand, but I’m shocked! 》

"Turning iron into gold? Does this mean alchemy is real?"

"Stars that can smelt iron are all big guys! Only stars with a mass more than 8 times that of the sun have the ability to synthesize iron. For small Calamitous stars like the sun, the synthesis ends at carbon and oxygen."

"Alchemy is real, but not unless you harness the power of a supernova explosion."

"A Japanese scientist synthesized gold, but the cost of each gram of gold was as high as more than 10,000 yuan..."

"Some missing elements in the periodic table may have been extracted by aliens."

"Why did the ancients choose gold as currency?"

"Not only in our ancient times, but also in foreign countries, every civilization has chosen gold."

"Yes, in ancient times, gold did not have industrial uses like it does today."

"It's stable, rare, and sparkling. If I were your ancestor, I would choose gold!"
