The short video shows the ancient times, and the emperors cried with envy!

Chapter 653: An elemental wall, half of New York City, Li Shimin: Unreasonably expensive!
"You're right. These profiteers, when they see something rare, want to get involved."

He Zhizhang standing next to him had obviously also been cheated by the unscrupulous businessmen in Chang'an City.

At this moment he was very indignant and said to Emperor Li Longji while looking at the sky.

"Your Majesty, it is a blessing from heaven that our Tang Dynasty was able to obtain the truth about the elements hundreds of years in advance. We must not allow merchants to buy and sell them at will, otherwise, the country will no longer exist!"

China has always been committed to understanding the world, and the periodic table is a huge step forward in China's understanding of the world.

For He Zhizhang, who came from a Confucian family, such things seemed to be shrouded in an inexplicable sense of mission.

"Just listen to you."

Li Longji waved his hand, then looked at the sky gently. He also wanted an elemental wall!
Looking at these most basic things that make up the world every day, it feels like I can create a whole new world.

It’s very exciting just to think about it, and perhaps this is also the motivation for those rich people to want to buy an elemental wall for themselves.

[After a hundred years of changes, there were only more than 70 elements in the periodic table, which naturally could not catch the eyes of the rich. 】

[Because what Mendeleev researched must be mineral atoms that can be found everywhere. He himself was not rich, so all he got were the most basic minerals.]

[If you collect one gram of each element, it will cost less than 100 yuan. 】

[You're showing off by showing off these things. Do you still have the style? 】

[So, the wealthy began to find another way and began to pursue a more advanced periodic table of more than 160 elements. ]

[The many elements above are the reason why their huge wealth can be put to good use. ]

[Because, starting with element 78, the prices of these elements have skyrocketed, and some have already exceeded the cognitive range of ordinary people. ]

"How expensive can it be?"

The wealthy businessman Hu Xueyan smiled contemptuously. His money was enough to circle Zuo Zongtang's entire defense zone and still have some left over.

Moreover, the total price of the previous seventy-plus elements was less than one ingot of silver. How much more could the price be raised?

On the other hand, many wealthy businessmen in Shanxi also began to consider whether they should build such a wall in their homes, which would be both fashionable and allow their descendants to be immersed in the atmosphere of science.

[The existing element wall belongs to the former richest man in the world, Gates. There are from one to one hundred of all the elements in his home, except for those that cannot be created at all. ]

[This price reached 100 million US dollars. ]

[Numbers 78 to 86, although these materials are expensive, they are still not difficult for ordinary people to obtain.]

[Within 100,000 yuan, elements one to eighty-six can be arranged neatly and placed at the door of your home. ]

[But when it comes to element 87, polonium, the price is beyond the reach of others. This element needs to be synthesized artificially, and the raw materials are extremely demanding. There are not many reserves on the entire earth. ]

[Adding the labor and sampling fees, it would cost at least 100 million RMB to buy one gram of it. ]

"One hundred million yuan, that's five hundred thousand ounces of gold?"

Even many wealthy businessmen gasped when they heard the price, and the officials of the Song Dynasty were even more incredulous.

Five hundred thousand taels of gold, converted into taxes for the Song Dynasty, would be more than 200 million strings of cash. Even when the Song Dynasty was at its most prosperous, its annual net income was only 50 million strings of cash.

Hundreds of millions of people in the Song Dynasty had to work hard for four or five years to buy one gram of this stuff.

Of course, this conversion ratio is definitely not true, but it does not affect the shock of the people of the Song Dynasty. However, it is too early for them to be shocked.

[Next, let’s look at the 108th element, francium. Does this familiar serial number make you feel excited? ]

[Yes, its price will also make you excited. If you simply go by the monetary price, theoretically it only takes one-tenth of a gram of this element to be prepared.

That is, 0.1 gram would cost nearly billion RMB. A wall of such an element would be worth half the size of New York City.

[That's it, and it doesn't affect other production, and no one will complain about your random digging of the earth's core. ]

[Because this element exists very little in nature, so little that even if you dig through the entire earth, you won't find more.

This is only possible if you have unified the entire planet and made it your private property. 】

"Hiss~ Unify the world."

Great Qin, Ying Zheng touched his chin, he had no interest in that nonsense that required digging through the elements of the entire world, but he was very interested in unifying the world, very much!
Maybe my Great Qin will have one more reason to go to war!
That is, I, the Great Qin Emperor, want your land to mine elements. What, you don’t want to give it to me?
Then go to hell!

However, Zhang Sanfeng, a Taoist priest, was very interested in this element.

"It takes all the people in the world to get such a tiny bit. This is the position of an immortal god!"

It's no wonder he thought so. Anyone who thinks that so many things in the world can eventually be combined into 0.1 grams of an element can't help but imagine what effect this thing has.

[However, the elements obtained at a high price may cause the people of the world to fall into silence, just like the 0.1 gram of francium just now. If it is used improperly, it may cause the extinction of mankind on the spot! ]

Well, it’s not a divine object, but a world-destroying weapon.

Zhang Sanfeng breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately no one in the world could afford to build it.

[In addition to these, there are of course things that cannot be measured by human wealth, such as the second-to-last element, which only existed for twelve microseconds from its birth to its decay.]

[This time is equivalent to the time it takes for your thinking neurons to reach the cerebral cortex, which is what the Buddhist scriptures call a thought.]

[It exists within the timeline of this thought, and it completely decays and cannot be synthesized at all.]

[So, if you want to prepare a complete elemental wall, you need to gather all the wealth in human history, and eventually drain the earth and destroy the world to have such an honor. ]

After hearing the words coming from the sky, many wealthy businessmen who had been clamoring just now fell silent.

Even Li Shimin, the Heavenly Khan of the Tang Dynasty, couldn't help but complain:
"This is unreasonably expensive!"

"This is the price of the world. If ordinary people can master the elements of creating the world, then everyone can create things. How can God demonstrate His majesty?"

Changsun Wuji said to Li Shimin from the side.

"Hahaha, what you said about the auxiliary engine makes sense. So what if it's expensive? We're not going to build it!"

Cheng Yaojin patted his chest. He didn't feel shocked at all. He just felt a little indifferent. These things were too far away from them.

"Indeed, the elements of the world should be left for future generations to explore!"

Perhaps, in the future someone will really be able to take over an entire planet just to satisfy his or her own hobbies?
