The legend of Tiga

Chapter 1898 Gold of Tiga Land

gold!

The material is soft and golden in color. It has good electrical conductivity and oxidation resistance. Its ductility is second to none among many metals, so it is highly forgeable. Coupled with its high thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance, it has become the best electroplating material.

In addition, it has extremely high chemical stability and is not easy to react chemically with other substances. In addition, the total amount available to humans is scarce, so it has become a precious equivalent. Moreover, due to its good chemical properties, it has become an essential industrial material after humans entered the technological society.

Electronics industry, chemical industry, aerospace industry, medical industry, instrument manufacturing industry, gold plating, photovoltaics, photography, etc. It is no exaggeration to say that if the price of gold can be the same as that of iron, all walks of life will choose gold as the first choice.

Unfortunately, although there are abundant gold reserves on the earth, most of them are hidden deep in the earth's crust. The shallow gold that humans can dig out is less than one percent of the total gold on the earth, and it has almost been dug up.

One of the reasons why TPC actively explores the universe is to find gold and other rare minerals from outer planets and asteroid belts.

It's just that the birth of gold requires ultra-high temperature, ultra-high pressure and ultra-high energy conditions brought about by supernova explosions or neutron star collisions. Therefore, not to mention on Earth, even on a cosmic scale, the total amount of gold is extremely small and extremely unevenly distributed. Take the solar system for example. Apart from the inner cores of each planet, only the sun may have a large amount of gold, and the total amount accounts for more than 90% of the solar system.

It's a pity that although there is a lot of gold on the sun, the high temperature of thousands of degrees on the surface is enough to isolate all greed. No matter how advanced your technology is, it will be of no avail, even if you go there at night.

Therefore, although TPC has entered the space age and started mining in the asteroid belt and discovered some gold veins, the value of gold on Earth has not decreased. On the contrary, the demand has doubled due to the development of human technology, resulting in a higher value.

Therefore, after hearing that a batch of gold with extremely high purity and a total weight of nearly 40,000 tons had been discovered, the world was in an uproar. One phone call after another came in, vying to ask about the authenticity of the matter and the location of the gold.

After confirming the news is correct, they will either beat around the bush or speak directly to inform the importance of the gold and ask how to deal with it.

Some even couldn't wait to take a transport plane to come here, wanting to see it with their own eyes. After all, tens of thousands of tons of gold "falling from the sky" was really too incredible.

Human beings work hard to find gold every day, but the harvest is not great. Chiba Makoto, on the other hand, encountered a river of gold while traveling. This luck is such a coincidence that people can't help but feel suspicious.

It's like a poor office worker who is suddenly told that his billionaire uncle has passed away and he is the only heir. His first reaction is that the uncle is a liar.

If this was not seen with the own eyes of Ultraman Tiga, the God on Earth, few people would have believed it at first.

But when the videos and photos were clearly presented in front of them, they all became excited. Looking at the mountains of gold, their eyes were wide open and they were unable to come back to their senses for a long time.

This is not just a pile of gold, it also represents the right to speak.

Apart from the economic cost, it also has technological value.

  Especially Nanyun Hiroyuki, upon hearing the news, his eyes turned red with envy, his face twisted with extreme anger, his teeth itching with hatred, and there was only one thought in his mind:

Why is he?

why it's not me?

If he was the one who discovered it, Nanyun Hiroyuki felt that his chances of becoming the next director were not a sure thing, but they were certain.

What a pity, it had to be this guy.

  It is really.

As Nanyun Hiroyuki was thinking, the phone on the table rang. He picked it up and his eyes widened. He couldn't hide his shock and surprise. He said repeatedly: "Really? Confirmed? Good, very good, very good. Seal off the scene immediately, collect and seal it immediately, and make sure it is under the supervision of the police department."

After hanging up the phone, Nanyun Hiroyuki pumped his fist vigorously and said excitedly: "That's great, I didn't expect there would be more."

  But just as he was excited, the joy on Nanyun Hiroyuki's face gradually disappeared, and turned into confusion, and he said to himself: "Could it be that a monster really did it? Otherwise, where did all this gold come from?

But what is the purpose of producing so much gold?

Just to absorb negative energy?

  So is this gold the reward after absorption?

Or."

Nanyun Hiroyuki couldn't figure it out. He racked his brains but couldn't figure out the logic behind it.

  Not only him, many people couldn't figure it out. Even the elites of mankind, those standing at the top of the power pyramid, still couldn't understand and couldn't figure it out. They had no idea what the purpose of the unknown flame that created so much gold was.

To this end, TPC also held a special meeting to discuss how to respond and deal with it.

Deal with this monster and handle this gold.

To put it bluntly, it's about dividing the spoils.

Ever since Chiba Makoto discovered the golden river, several more golden rivers have been discovered nearby. The riverbed of each river is filled with gold, which reflects the sunlight brightly and makes people dizzy. Just looking at it makes people dizzy, let alone getting close to it.

There is gold in the river in varying amounts, but the total amount exceeds 100,000 tons.

The total value of such a large amount of gold exceeds that of any company on earth, and even the market value of several companies combined.

So much gold is now lying in the warehouse, which makes people very restless.

So at the beginning of the meeting, someone stood up and talked about this issue.

"At present, more than 200 laboratories around the world have completed the test, and the results show that the composition of this gold is exactly the same as the gold in our reserves, and there is little difference in nature."

"It is a huge waste of resources to keep so much gold in the warehouse."

“But their appearance is very unusual.”

“But the nature is normal.”

"There is no guarantee that there will be no problems later."

"But there is no evidence at this point that they are a problem."

"That only shows that our technology is not advanced enough."

"A technologically advanced civilization is throwing so much gold around on Earth in order to kill humans?"

“That’s not possible.”

"."

Both sides insisted on their own opinions and kept arguing. The quarrel was so intense that the serious meeting place was turned into a vegetable market, and it was almost as if someone was smashing the table with his leather shoes.

Director Fukami sat on the stage, listening to the people below quarreling and watching them quarreling. His expression did not change from beginning to end. He was quite calm, as if he did not hear anything. Not only him, but also the three chiefs of staff were the same. They did not say a word from beginning to end, just lowered their heads to look at the reports in front of them, as if they wanted to see the paper in a flowery way. Chiba Makoto, who rarely participated in such high-level meetings, looked around curiously. This situation was not at all what he imagined, but was similar to a street shrew. It really subverted the stereotype.

It was not until the argument between the two sides evolved from reasoning and presenting facts to personal attacks that Director Fukami coughed, moved his body forward from leaning back, rested his arms on the table, and glanced at everyone.

The noisy clamor gradually died down until it was completely silent. Director Fukami spoke up, "When it comes to the unknown, it's never too cautious."

The nature of the matter is determined in just one sentence.

That is to be cautious.

This made Nanyun Hiroyuki frown. The staff officer Quan Teng who was sitting next to him said immediately: "We should be cautious about the unknown, but Director, this is gold that we are very familiar with, and there are no problems with the test reports."

"But this doesn't mean there aren't any problems. It's possible that we can't find them." The middle staff officer immediately retorted: "There are too many examples in the past. Monsters that were thought to be dead suddenly resurrected, and lightning people existed in the empty ionosphere."

After giving several examples, the counselor said seriously: "We know very little about nature and the universe. There are still countless unknowns, so we must not underestimate or make simple judgments."

The words of the middleman made many people nod in agreement. Compared with the wonders of nature and the vastness of the universe, human cognition is really too small. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a drop in the bucket. Using the cognition of a blind man touching an elephant to judge will only lead to wrong answers.

Nanyun Hiroyuki spoke up at this time, saying, "There are actually only two questions. Where does this gold come from? Is it harmful to humans and the earth? Only by figuring out these two questions can we decide how to deal with this gold. After all, it is 100,000 tons."

When Nanyun Hiroyuki said this, his eyes were fixed on Chiba Makoto who was sitting diagonally opposite him, causing many people to look at the young Chiba Makoto who seemed out of place in the entire conference room.

Chiba Makoto was eating melon with gusto when suddenly everyone's attention was focused on him, turning him from a spectator into the protagonist of the event.

  Ok?

Why are you all looking at me?

  It's as if I know it!

Chiba Cheng rolled his eyes in his heart. Do these people think they can do anything?

He himself was still confused. This was not just one or two kilograms, but a full 100,000 tons of gold.

With so much money, there is nothing that can't be done on earth, but it is scattered all over the mountain. It is really unexpected.

Originally, Chiba Makoto thought that the unknown flame was meant to draw out the negative energy of mankind and then be absorbed by it, so it scattered gold all over the river, but now he is not so sure.

Because there was so much gold spilled, and in just a few times, the total weight exceeded 100,000 tons. It was too extravagant.

It's like a person who makes a nest for fishing and then gets on a truck and dumps corn kernels into the river.

You know, if the fish is full, it won’t take the bait again.

The same goes for gold. Once there is too much of it, its value will be greatly reduced.

At this rate, I'm afraid that in a month or two, the amount of gold will reach one million tons, which will definitely drive down the price of gold.

After all, gold appeared in crowded places in recent times, involving tens of thousands of people, and the news could not be blocked.

Especially the first batch of people whose negative energy was taken away have almost recovered. Once it is released back, it will definitely spread like wildfire.

At this moment, a pop-up window popped up on the desktop display in front of Miyata Seiji. After taking a look at the news, he first showed surprise on his face, and then ecstasy. He immediately said: "Director, great news, a huge amount of gold has been discovered in the mountains upstream of those rivers."

"Massive?"

This word immediately made the participants think a lot. When one obtains 100,000 tons of gold, the word "massive" is used to describe it. How much gold must this be?

Chief of Staff Miyata said happily: "According to hyperspectral satellite remote sensing, the distribution range of gold veins is several thousand square kilometers, and the reserves of gold ore are difficult to estimate. Even if it is CIL ore, at least one million tons of gold can be extracted. Even tens of millions of tons or even more is not impossible."

Millions of tons, tens of millions of tons!!!

These two figures made the participants dizzy.

I was just saying that if gold continued to appear like this, it would soon reach a million tons. Unexpectedly, it soon reached or even exceeded that level.

  this.

"Where is all this gold? How was it found? Why hasn't it been discovered before?"

While others were still digesting the news, Chiba Makoto asked three questions in a row.

The voice echoed in the silent conference room and reached the ears of Chief of Staff Seiji Miyata, who turned his head and was visibly startled when he saw Chiba Makoto. Then the smile on his face froze.

He opened his mouth and then said, "Uh, it's in... that Tiga place."

The Land of Tiga!!!

This place gave many people a startle, and their hot heads instantly woke up. Some turned their heads to look over, some glanced at Chiba Makoto out of the corner of their eyes, and some even made eye contact with each other.

Because this place is too special, the Victory Team once discovered a golden glowing pyramid here with two giant stone statues inside. Only Director Megumi Naruma and Director Fukami knew that when Golzan and Melba destroyed the glowing pyramid, Chiba Makoto was also nearby.

No, not nearby.

Iruma Kei looked down at the news shared by Chief of Staff Miyata. The center point of the gold vein detected by remote sensing was exactly the mountain where the Victory Team discovered Chiba Makoto.

  Coincidence?

Or.

Several guesses flashed through Iruma Hui's mind, and his expression became serious.

Somehow, she sensed a strong sense of conspiracy.

After Golzan and Melba destroyed the two stone statues and left, TPC quickly blocked the area and collected the fragments of the giant stone statues. They began a detailed survey, and this work lasted for several years. They searched the land of Tiga inside and out, and used all kinds of methods, but no discoveries were made.

Hui Iruma used her authority to retrieve the survey data from that time. No matter whether it was core drilling, ultrasound, gravity gradiometer, or satellite remote sensing, no minerals were found. But now, suddenly, a huge amount of gold was discovered, and it was a shallow vein.
