Chapter 2213: Gold crisis

The plan of the Onmyojis succeeded.
Under the combined force of the fall of the big sun and the six-pointed star array, the serpent was trapped in the crimson flame mask.
It seems that it's time to celebrate again.
However, the senior officials of the country of Sakura who had seen the whole process were excited, but no one got excited.
Even Ampei Yasuo, the dog of Onmyoji, felt a little uncomfortable.
It's not that there is something wrong with the Masters of Onmyoji, seeing the hundreds of millions of creatures like ants in the whole country of cherry blossoms.
It was because he was the same as those ants, only to know the plans of the Onmyojis at the last moment.
And felt a sorrow.
"Is a dog always a dog?"
Ampei Yasuo felt sad, but with a smile on his face, he clapped his hands first.
"Minister, why don't you hurry up to mobilize everyone to cheer for Onmyoji to suppress the big snake?"
"Cheers? Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, so much celebration!"
The cabinet minister was stunned, and immediately understood, and continued to reconcile.
The ministers all around also nodded in agreement and immediately issued orders.
As long as they are not completely ignorant puppets, they will understand that at this moment, no matter how dissatisfied they are, and are unwilling to be regarded as ants with no right to speak, they cannot show it at this time.
Forbearance, they need to continue to endure, accumulate knowledge, accumulate strength...
The senior officials of the Sakura Country made the right choice they thought.
And the other regional forces united by mankind are more or less in the eyes, and have a little more sense of crisis towards the mysterious forces.
No one wants to be a bargaining chip for those extraordinary people at the gambling table without their knowledge, or even their hometown under their feet.
After careful consideration, they realized that Lingwang was their way out.
The mysterious secret realm in the spirit web is a avenue for them to no longer become ants.
As a result, various forces and families have paid more and more attention to the spirit net.
Even the most stubborn conservatives can only restrain the people around them to keep them as fire, and acquiesce in the way most people do.
The result of this is that the average price of Lingwang's spiritual power points has once again soared by dozens of percentages.
Many people with good talents have made a small profit.
at the same time.
The divine body of the big snake was successfully smelted by the Onmyoji.
The power of the serpent was divided into several parts.
One of them, the inscription on the head of a big snake, was taken out by Qingming Onmyoji and threw it to Hikaru Ito.
Ito Mitsuo was stunned, and it was too late to refuse, saying that I was the person under the crown of the goddess.
The big snake inscription has entered Ito Hikari's body and merged with him easily.
Ito Hikari felt that an unfamiliar consciousness suddenly appeared in his mind.
It belongs to the consciousness of the incarnation of the serpent.
Fortunately, Ito Hikari can feel that the control of his body is still his own.
Moreover, the consciousness of that one is very weak, and you guys fell asleep after a few words.
"Study the power of the serpent in your body carefully."
"then……"
"Three years later, come to the Yin and Yang Lao in Black Mountain, and join the other geniuses who have received the power of the serpent to see who can be the true inheritor of the power of the serpent."
"The inheritor of the power of the serpent?"
Ito Mitsuo was taken aback, and said what was in his heart:
"Master Seimei, I...I am a soldier of the Moon Goddess."
Qingming Onmyoji from Xiao Yu looked at Ito Hikaru gently.
Of course he knows the details of the other party, the other party is not a person of Yin and Yang Tao.
But it doesn't matter, no matter which transcendent power the other party is, in the final analysis, it is still his own.
Qingming Onmyoji said calmly:
"This has nothing to do with your identity, but this power is predestined with you."
"And, I believe that under the crown of the goddess of the moon, I will be happy to see you become stronger."
"Moreover, you inheritors are also helping us."
"Help... Seimei-sama?"
Ito Hikaru's eyes widened, a little confused, where did he help?
"The power of the big snake slightly exceeded the expectations of some older generations."
"Although we have refined each other, it is difficult to deify it."
"Fortunately, there are you. You can just share part of the remnant soul and residual power of the serpent."
"So that we can successfully refine the remaining part into a shikigami!"
Hearing Seimei Onmyoji's explanations, Ito Hikari let out a cry and suddenly realized.
Accepting the gift, there is not so much embarrassment and anxiety.
Qingming Onmyoji watched the mushroom cloud dissipate, and the six-pointed star array gradually dimmed and disappeared.
He also stepped in the void, disappearing mysteriously with the Void God Mirror.
Only the half-collapsed Mt. Fuji was left, the altar was completely collapsed and turned into a soil slope, as well as the deep pit that seemed to have been exploded by a large-yield nuclear bomb.
The human united team, with the assistance of the Sakura Nation Army, waited a long time before rushing to clean up and conduct scientific research.
The outer space of Aqua Star, in the heavenly palace.
Xiao Yu lightly tapped his finger and opened the Chaos Primordial Creation Picture.
In this scroll, a clear portrait of the big snake appeared.
And as the golden light appeared, the portrait of the serpent changed into a human form.
A heroic man with short white hair, a burly figure, and eight snake head tattoos painted on his chest and back.
"Yin-Yang Dao's strongest style god... Orochi!"
"From today, born!"
Xiao Yu looked at the portrait of the human figure, and said, and judged its cause and effect.
Immediately, Xiao Yu closed his eyes and meditated for a while, then with a movement of his consciousness, he scanned the entire Earth-Moon galaxy.
Above the moon.
The First Shipyard of the United Mankind successfully built a factory area covering an area of ​​more than 3 million square meters on the moon.
More than half a million skilled workers and experts are here to contribute their youth, and the number of spacecraft in the name of mankind is constantly increasing.
In a rest area of ​​the first shipyard.
Two technical experts from Citigroup are resting here.
In order to get better rest results, they were notoriously abusing drugs and took a sleeping ketone drug.
This is an extremely miraculous drug, which kills similar drugs in seconds.
It happened that it was invented and put on sale 50 years ago.
Just because some people who die, after discovering taking it, use various methods to persist in not falling asleep, they can enter a wonderful new world.
This kind of special sleeping medicine had to be banned and almost no longer appeared on the market.
However, these bans are only for the middle and lower classes, and the elites of Citigroup have channels to get them.
Not to mention that with the extraordinary manifestation of the sacred, the gradual rise of ancient eastern countries has made Citi's status more and more awkward.
It is the joint establishment of mankind.
Citigroup is still full of a strong sense of crisis, and began to look for various solutions.
Naturally, the traditional arts of Citigroup, such as drug abuse, will not be let go.
Many banned drugs have been picked up again for research.
This sleeping pill is one of the representative drugs picked up under such conditions.
In addition, there are many special things that have been picked up, and even attracted the attention of extraordinary people.
Biotechnology is also a technology that cannot be ignored.
After taking the medicine, the two Citi experts chatted freely while waiting for their sleepiness to arrive:
"I told you to buy gold last time, did you buy it?"
The expert who was a little bald took a sip of water and asked in a low voice.
Younger experts showed a honest smile upon hearing this:
"If you buy it, it means you are timid, you buy less, and you don't make much money."
"Now... do you want to sell it?"
"Sell?"
"Hehe, fortunately you have worked here with me for a little half a year."
"You really don't understand?"
"Look... What can't you understand?"
The bald expert shook his head, a bit hated that iron can't become steel:
"You didn't find that the spacecraft we built, because of the use of a large number of smart parts, the gold consumption has greatly increased?"
"I know, but...this is the amount of consumption."
"This consumption?"
"Hahaha, do you think it's just shipbuilding? Do you think our technology in the spacecraft has no civilian use?"
"I used to build cars."
"Let me tell you, the gold consumption of the new generation of smart cars is 1,600 times that of the old generation."
"At that time I guessed that the properties of gold would change drastically, from risk aversion and investment properties to important industrial raw materials like petroleum and rare earths!"
"But I also knew at the time that no one likes this kind of new age raw materials that have risen too much in price, and there is a lot of gold in the mantle, so I didn't buy it."
"But it's different now."
"We have now entered the interstellar era, the era of big industry is coming."
"And the industry in this new technological era is a real gold swallowing beast!"
"The output and consumption of gold are no longer proportional."
"Even if the human unity wants to stop it, it will at best let it rise a little bit slower."
Having said this, the expert rubbed his brows, yawned a little sleepily and said:
"Speaking of it, haven't you found that physical gold is becoming scarcer in the market? Even if we want to invest, we just play with virtual data."
Said this, the expert began to frown.
Faintly, he always felt that the distribution of Aquastar's resources was a bit too coincidental.
It's like being prepared specifically for the technological tree that humans climb.
From coal, to oil, to natural gas, to combustible ice.
And then to gold after entering the intelligent age...Coincidentally, there is a huge gold vein lying on the mantle layer, waiting for the development of human technology to a certain level, then it will jump out and glow.
Then consider the primary nuclear fusion materials on the moon, and the countless advanced nuclear fusion materials on the gas giant planets farther away...
Tsk tsk tsk, think it is terrible, think it is terrible!
"If we are developing normally, the gold underground should be enough."
The expert leaned on the sofa and muttered to himself:
"But now it's different, it's different, we're a little bit bigger in development."
"Our gold production, even if supplemented by the asteroid belt, is too small to support the development of the current interstellar industry!"
"After all, gold... even in the entire star system, the entire galaxy, it is also a rare metal!"
…………
When the expert dulu gold is not enough.
The United Council of Mankind is also discussing similar issues.
They have reduced the amount of gold used by the private sector as much as possible and controlled all gold mining sites.
The stock of gold is still declining rapidly.
As a result, many civilian smart devices have had to stop production due to capacity problems.
In the first parliament, the parliamentarians who naively believed that a pure gold asteroid could be used to solve the problem, now they do not speak a word, and choose silence is gold.
Xiao Yu's spiritual consciousness scanned the meeting and read the contents of the documents of these congressmen.
After a slight start.
Xiao Yu woke up in the heavenly palace.
"Golden crisis?"
Xiao Yu didn't expect that the development of science and technology originally needed a lot of gold.
This is something I didn't think of at first.
In fact, he always knew that electronic equipment needed gold.
Isn’t one of the routines of replacing the washbasin with an old cell phone and an old computer for alchemy?
However, the amount of gold used in these electronic devices is so small that it has been ignored.
However, just like the early industrial society, an annual output of 10,000 to 20,000 tons of oil is enough for the entire society to function.
Later, one or two billion tons of oil per year were not too much the same.
With the upgrading of equipment.
Electronic equipment is becoming more sophisticated and increasing.
Even with...the amount of gold has also increased.
Moreover, the more high-tech equipment, the more difficult it is to replace the role of gold.
The gold consumption of the equipment of the old age is negligible.
But what if this amount is increased a thousand times, two thousand times?
And not only has the amount increased, but the demand for the equipment itself has also increased hundreds of times.
This...makes the consumption suddenly exaggerated.
"I combined technology with witchcraft, which greatly promoted productivity."
"Then, I encountered a raw material problem?"
"Gold..."
Xiao Yu pondered, and looked at the chaotic prehistoric creation map in his hand.
Well, to fake the truth, it's not that you can't play a little bit of money.
It is that after all, I am not the sublime of the sun.
The gold that came out of this stone may be restored within a few days.
Treat the symptoms but not the root cause.
So I can only do basic operations?
The way Xiao Yu could think of was to let the wizards of Xiaorenguo join new issues on the one hand.
See if we can use witchcraft or other substances in the production process to replace the role of gold or reduce its consumption.
This is throttling.
Then it is open source, and the priority of searching for asteroids with high gold content is slightly increased.
Take gold mining as an important task of the starry sky mother ship!
Then... it's the Lilliputian country itself.
Xiao Yu thought for a while and went back to the city of miracles.
In the city of miracles ~EbookFREE.me~Xiao Yu started a gold acquisition plan.
Regardless of the fact that Lilliput’s mainland is a miniaturized land.
As the major forces accumulate over time, they are still stocking huge amounts of gold.
With Xiao Yu raising the price of gold.
Soon there was no shortage of people selling gold.
Some people see business opportunities and rely on the information gap to go to other mainlands to become intermediaries.
In this regard, Xiao Yu is also happy to see it happen.
That's it, a week later.
Xiao Yu seized at least half of the existing gold stock in Xiaorenguo and placed it in his own warehouse.
The factories that serve themselves do not need to purchase gold on the market.
