Stars in The Sky

Big Chu world.

A nearly 200 meter long, silvery swordfish shaped aircraft hovers over the clouds. Far below the porthole is a blue ocean, with islands occasionally visible.

“…… Is that what flying feels like? "

Lu Qingyao, a quiet and elegant queen with beautiful skin and snow, is sitting by the side of the porthole. Her bright and dark eyes are full of excitement and incredible look. For all living beings in this world, the experience of flying in the sky is as far away as the immortals in ancient legends. She can't think of it, but she really feels it today.

"It's really amazing..."

Yun Qijun studied the layout of the cabin. Even as a real immortal, she could not understand the principle and structure of the aircraft. She had experienced flying in the sky, but it was not an easy job to fly at such a fast speed and for such a long time.

They can fly tens of thousands of miles in one hour. They can easily cross the whole continent, fly across the vast ocean, and reach another far away continent. In their view, it is just like a fake immortal means.

Zhang Qiuyun presented the jade cup filled with spirit wine to Qin Feng, and said in a coquettish voice, "husband, would you like to take us out to play

"Well, no problem." Qin Feng took the jade cup and sipped it.

"My husband, this magic weapon of the immortal family will not fall down on the way?"

Zhao Xinyue slightly childish question, let Qin Feng shake his head and laugh: "no, don't worry."

This is a large-scale luxury space private plane brought back from the doomsday world. It can cruise at five times the speed of sound for a long time. It can go back and forth freely in low earth orbit when necessary, and its safety is far better than that of the main world.

When he returned to the world of Chu three months ago, Qin Feng brought one to facilitate his own journey.

The doomsday world has come to an end for a while, so he came back to arrange resource development. He trained thousands of technicians by using mirror country, and then sent them to super large mines around the world by aircraft.

All mining robots, as well as the related refining and purification equipment, are brought from the doomsday world, with advanced technology, high efficiency, and high automation. Only a few people are needed to manage them to ensure their normal operation.

Qin Feng initially selected ten mines to start construction, including silver mine in North America, rhenium mine in South America, titanium ore in Central Asia, uranium mine in Central Asia, gold mine in South Africa, etc. as long as these equipments work normally, tens of billions of resources can be mined for itself every year.

After a short time, the aircraft began to lower its altitude and land vertically on a newly opened flat land.

"Here we are. Let's go down and have a look."

Qin Feng said to stand up, four women have taken out the veil put on, and then follow him out of the cabin, down the gangway.

Outside, Wei Mingyuan had already led a group of his entourage waiting for him. Not far away, two rows of powerful black armour guards were standing. The weapons in his hands were all new-style guns.

The flat ground is covered with thick stone slabs and reinforced concrete. A hundred meters away, you can see several newly built houses, rows of barracks, neat roads and well-organized layout. It's like a brand new town.

The huge basin hundreds of meters away is the largest gold mine in the world. This place belongs to South Africa in the main world. It is called Rand gold mine. It was discovered in 1866, and it has been mined for 35000 tons of gold.

According to the analysis of scientists, the stratum where the gold deposit is located has a history of 3.5 billion years. After a long geological change and many volcanic eruptions, the gold deposit with rich reserves has been formed. More surprisingly, there are at least 18000 tons of gold waiting to be mined.

The RAND basin is 400 kilometers long from north to south. The gold bearing conglomerate is distributed in the surrounding areas of the basin. The total length of the gold belt is 480 km, the ore bearing area is 20700 km2, and the largest main ore belt is 190 km long. More than 130 mines have been built in this area, and 38 mines are still in production. Among them, 9 mines have an annual output of 3 million tons of gold ore, and 21 of them have an annual ore output of 1-3 million tons. Other mines are smaller in scale, with an average annual production of 20-30 tons of gold.

At present, the remaining gold reserves of Rand gold mine still account for 52% of the total gold reserves in the world. 1970 is the year with the most gold production, with the gold production reaching 1000 tons, which is equal to the total reserves of two ordinary large gold mines. The high grade of gold in the mine is also rare in the world. It is still 7-20 g / T, with an average of 10 g / T.

Of course, in this parallel time and space, the RAND gold mine has just been found and put into mining by Qin Feng, so all the gold here belongs to his private property. And with the advanced technology and equipment of doomsday world, the efficiency of mining and purification is far higher than that of the main world.

"Lord, please come in." Wei Mingyuan said respectfully.

"It seems that you are very attentive."

Qin Feng glanced at random and said with a smile.

"This is the duty of the ministers." Wei Mingyuan said solemnly.

Although the houses were made of local materials, they were still magnificent. The furniture and furnishings inside were transported from the capital of the state of Chu by air craft. There were no shortage of servants, servants, personal guards and cooks.In the study, Wei Mingyuan waved back the outsider, and then motioned four Pro guards to carry a heavy nanmu box in front of Qin Feng.

On the red brocade substrate, there are pieces of gold bricks, each of which weighs five kilograms. There are thirty gold bricks in total, which is the current daily output of the mine.

"The ministers and others have made preliminary exploration, and the gold ore reserves here are very rich. If the Lord can send more equipment and manpower, it will not be a problem to increase the output by 10 times." Wei Mingyuan said, in the eyes can not hide the color of reverence.

When he first came to the wilderness, he was still a little unconvinced, but after hearing the news from his subordinates, he was really shocked.

He had never heard of such a large-scale gold mine in China before. He had never imagined that there would be so much gold buried in the ground under the earth. How did the national master discover this place?

Qin Feng nodded his head and said: "this is no problem, it will be brought over next time."

The demand for gold, whether in the main world or in the doomsday world, is quite large. In addition to its extensive industrial use, another important function of gold is to use it as a hard currency reserve to stabilize the currency value and financial order. There are different amounts of gold reserves in the national coffers of the main world, including a few large consortia.

The so-called gold reserve refers to the gold held by the monetary authority of a country as a financial asset to balance the balance of payments and maintain or affect the exchange rate level. There is no need to say much about its importance to a country.

Especially in the war time, when prices soared and banknotes were like waste paper, a sufficient amount of gold reserve was particularly important for maintaining financial stability and social price system.

According to the statistics of gold reserves of central banks in the world in previous years, there is no doubt that the United States is in the top position. The gold in the Treasury is as high as 8100 tons, followed by Germany, which is more than 3300 tons. However, China's open reserves are only in the fifth place, with a total of less than 1700 tons.

Compared with China's foreign exchange reserves of several trillion US dollars, this gold only accounts for less than 2% of the total foreign exchange reserves. As the world's largest economy whose GDP has just surpassed that of the United States, this is seriously out of line with the Convention.

Especially if the country is facing a large-scale foreign war, the significance of gold reserves will be further highlighted. Countries with insufficient reserves may suffer losses in many aspects.

According to international practice, China's gold reserves should reach at least 5000 tons, which is better to be equal to that of the United States. Only in this way can China meet its own economic size and contribute to the sustainable and stable economic development in the future.

Therefore, as early as 2013, China has surpassed India as the world's largest gold buyer, and has been purchasing gold on the international market all year round by means of various public or non-public channels.

Of course, according to the latest statistics of this year, China's gold reserves are still not ideal. Even if the hidden part is not disclosed, it can not meet the expected requirements.

Therefore, Qin Feng thought that if he could get more gold and sell it to the Central Bank of China through some safe and secret channel, it would be helpful to the country.

Moreover, since I am determined to create an unprecedented super consortium in the main world, if conditions permit, all kinds of rare resources can also be appropriately stored for the sake of unexpected needs.
