Chapter 148 The question of the ownership of the gold, the climber who has no memory (1.55)
The value of this nugget of gold is so high that it cannot be measured simply by money.
Precisely because of its historical uniqueness, it cannot be compared with ordinary gold.
Naturally, it cannot be calculated based on price per gram like ordinary gold.
"I think everyone should stop fighting. This kind of nugget gold is not something that ordinary people can afford. A few million is nothing. I feel that even if you offer 10 million, there will be no demand for it."
After taking a look at the comments, Su Ran felt that what the netizens said was true. The gold nugget was too special.
Because even if the nugget is formed from small pieces of gold over hundreds of thousands of years, it may contain metal fragments from astronomical meteorites that fell on the earth.
Not to mention that nugget gold is essentially a natural gold nugget, and its gold content is far higher than that of natural gold mines and gold sand.
The source of the gold nuggets on the ground may even be meteorites formed when asteroids with extremely high gold content entered the Earth's atmosphere.
The audience was quite surprised to hear Su Ran say this. He continued, "In fact, gold comes from outer space, because the earth itself cannot form gold. So far, all elements on earth come from space. Even gold is a meteorite sent to the earth by asteroids."
Because of this, Su Ran agreed with the previous expert's statement that he wanted to study this piece of gold nugget, although he would definitely not donate it for no reason.
But we must first figure out how much this piece of gold nugget is worth.
But before that, the local county government departments had already started to have a headache because they were unable to determine the ownership of the gold nugget.
At this time, several leadership teams were discussing together in the county party committee office.
"Everyone, tell me, what should we do with this nugget of gold in the end?" said Long Xiaomei, the county's top leader.
The leading cadre of the Land and Resources Bureau was the first to say: "If we look at it from the perspective of minerals or cultural relics, this nugget of gold definitely belongs to the country."
The leader of another department said: "But from another perspective, it can also be said that this nugget of gold belongs to this anchor."
Li Changsheng, the leader in charge of online publicity, said seriously, "I prefer the second one, especially since we have already acknowledged that the gold picked up by the anchor can belong to him."
"No matter what the reason is, if we change our mind like this, the outside world will inevitably talk about us, which will cause everyone to question our credibility."
"I think what Director Li said is right," said the head of the county forestry bureau. "This anchor named Su Ran has made a lot of contributions to our local area, especially his influence is very great."
If it were an ordinary villager, he might be able to send someone to negotiate again, and give a subsidy of hundreds of thousands of yuan to bring the gold nugget back.
It was Su Ran they met this time.
But everyone knows the truth about this matter. It's not Su Ran's fault, nor theirs. The blame lies on this piece of nugget gold.
If they really had discovered more than one million worth of gold, the county would not be so stingy.
But no one would have thought that Su Ran would be so lucky as to pick up such a priceless piece of gold nugget.
"What we are most worried about now is that if it remains in the hands of a private person, this nugget of gold will not be able to realize its true value."
As soon as Long Xiaomei finished speaking, there were new developments in Su Ran's live broadcast room.
"What? Su Ran, are you planning to hand this nugget of gold over to a professional organization for research?"
"Brother Su, aren't you worried that you won't be able to get this nugget back after you hand it over?"
"Yes, Brother Su, don't do anything stupid. Gold is something you picked up. You can only feel at ease if it stays with you forever."
The audience also said that this gold was picked up by Su Ran. Even if he really kept it with him and never took it out, it would definitely attract attention in the future.
"Don't worry, everyone. With so many people watching, no one would dare to rob it directly. And you guys are curious whether this nugget of gold was formed naturally from small pieces of gold over hundreds of thousands of years, or whether it was a meteorite brought from outside the universe."
All gold comes from outside space, but nugget gold can be divided into nugget gold that is naturally gathered on the earth and nugget gold brought from space by asteroids.
If it is the latter, its value will be immeasurable.
Su Ran's decision seemed to be in line with the wishes of the local leadership team.
So in the afternoon, Su Ran sent the nugget of gold to the city's Institute of Geology and Mineral Resources, asking them to analyze the nugget of gold and work with county-level departments to survey the gold reserves in the forest.
When he went back, Su Ran, who had been busy all day, had a rare chance to rest.
The next morning, after having breakfast as usual, Chen Sisi went to her grandfather's house and started preparing food for the little ones.
After Su Ran washed up, he began to prepare pig food.
Steam was rising from the pot and the aroma spread. A red-bellied pheasant on the mountain was the first to arrive.
But because it was too early, they hadn't even finished eating yet: "Go play over there first."
Su Ran smiled gently and let the golden pheasant go to the vegetable garden to catch insects to eat first.
After feeding Mantou, Chen Sisi came over and asked, "Su Ran, don't you have to go to work today?"
Su Ran shook his head: "No, just take a day off. Lao Zhou and Wang Yang are watching over the forest rangers."
"Oh, that's okay."
After a while, the golden pheasants all came and scrambled for the big pot of delicious food.
Su Ran also turned on his phone to see if there was any news from the Institute of Geology, but it had only been less than twelve hours, so it shouldn't be that fast.
"Ding!~" The phone rang at this time, and Lao Zhou's name popped up on it.
"Hey, what's wrong, Lao Zhou?"
Zhou Kang on the other end of the phone asked hurriedly: "Stationmaster Su, are you home?"
"Yes."
"That's good. I was watching the surveillance at the forestry station and found a few familiar-looking people sneaking into the forest again. I've asked Wang Yang to rush over, but he may not be familiar with the road conditions."
Su Ran asked Lao Zhou to send over the photos of those people.
After clicking on the photo, Su Ran enlarged it and saw that although there was one girl missing from the three people above, he was very familiar with the remaining ones.
"Aren't these the few rock climbing enthusiasts who were in the forest before? I didn't expect that they would not learn their lesson and run into the forest again this time." Su Ran murmured.
On the phone, Lao Zhou asked, "Stationmaster Su, do you know where they will go?"
Su Ran nodded slightly and said, "Yes, I know. Let Wang Yang go back. I will go find these people."
After hanging up the phone, Su Ran started to pack up and called out to the room, "Dahei, follow me."
Mantou also ran out happily, wagging his tail and trying to get into Su Ran's arms.
"Why, you want to go too? Can you and Sister Sisi stay at home and look after the house?"
-
One of these climbing enthusiasts had been bitten by a snake before, so he was also paranoid.
Unexpectedly, he still didn't learn his lesson and actually ran into the forest again. This was indeed something Su Ran couldn't have expected.
"Most extreme challengers have an inexplicable pursuit of conquest and transcendence. Although I don't quite understand it, I can understand it."
On the way into the mountains to search, Su Ran also talked about it with netizens.
"Brother Su, can you find them?"
"Of course," Su Ran looked back at Dahei, "I don't even need Dahei to lead the way. They must be near Pangolin's home now."
The audience was extremely happy to hear that they could see pangolins again.
While chatting and laughing with the audience, Su Er received more private messages from the backstage.
There were all big bosses inside who wanted to buy nugget gold from him.
A netizen named "Damascus" expressed his willingness to bid 50 million to buy the gold nugget.
Su Ran clicked on his homepage. He had never published any works and his profile picture was the default one. His IP was displayed as unknown.
“This should be someone from abroad.”
If the nugget of gold in your hand turns out to be natural nugget of gold brought to Earth by a meteorite after inspection, then its value will be impossible to estimate in terms of money.
It can be the treasure of any museum.
Not to mention whether the 97 Chinese cultural relics worth nearly 1 billion yuan that were lost overseas in the tomb robbery case that was uncovered at that time were recovered. Su Ran would definitely not let the gold nugget fall into foreign hands this time.
After turning off his phone, Su Ran was getting closer and closer to his destination. When he reached the edge of the cliff, he saw three backpacks on the ground.
Looking up, I saw three figures on the cliff.
Su Ran checked the satellite map and said, "The satellite map shows that the cliff in front of us is 430 meters high. It is a giant granite monolith, steep and dangerous."
What does 400 meters mean? It is equivalent to more than 100 floors. If you fall down, you will be smashed to pieces, and even gods can't save you.
The smooth granite and the nearly 90-degree cliffs look extremely dangerous just by looking at them through the camera.
"Damn, these guys really aren't afraid of death. They are so brave."
"If it were me, my legs would probably go weak if I went up there. I have to admire the three of them."
Li Chaofei and his companions had just climbed to 93 meters. Considering that he had once competed with a Han Chinese to climb a 400-meter cliff, this height was just the most insignificant achievement in his career.
But now, Li Chaofei felt that he had reached his limit.
"Brother Fei, should we go back? The road above is more difficult to walk on than the one we explored before. The granite is too smooth and there is almost no place where we can use our limbs."
The companion below shouted.
Most cliffs have protruding or concave areas, which climbers can use to land or even rest.
But the protruding part of this granite wall is very small and even very smooth.
Every time I took a step, I would put magnesium powder on my hands. Due to frequent use, the magnesium powder around my waist was almost used up.
Li Chaofei was really unwilling to give up, but he also knew that climbing further up would be extremely dangerous.
"You guys go down first. I want to reach a hundred meters before returning."
Just as Li Chaofei grabbed a handful of magnesium chalk and continued to climb the last few meters, a drone suddenly flew next to him.
