Loving gold is like an innate human instinct.
I have never heard of anyone who dislikes gold.
Even people from some primitive tribes.
I also have an inexplicable love for this shiny metal.
The same is true now.
Then Ye Zhen continued, "In addition to the rich gold ore.
The former Soviet Union also discovered a large number of diamond mines close to 10,000 meters.
If the number of diamonds inside If all are developed, it will be enough to make diamonds look like stones.
In fact, diamonds are essentially just carbon.
If enough high temperature and pressure are applied, carbon elements can be directly turned into so-called diamonds.
Diamonds can be said to be the best capital-marketed thing in history.
Directly transform worthless things into a very expensive luxury product.
In fact, there is no need to dig deep into the ground for these diamonds.
Let’s talk about the diamond mines we mine on the surface.
In fact, the quantity is enough.
But De Beers, the diamond mining company, has a direct monopoly on diamond mining.
Deliberately not mined, using a kind of hunger marketing to sell diamonds.
So now many people are aware of it.
Diamonds are worthless at all.
If you don't believe it.
The diamond you bought for tens of thousands of dollars in the mall.
Go to another shopping mall and ask others how much they are willing to pay for it?
Even if you have all the invoice identification certificates.
See if you can sell it at one-tenth the price?
To put it simply, diamonds can now be synthesized artificially.
This is the so-called artificially grown diamond.
Better than natural diamonds in purity and size.
And what about gold?
In addition to immortality, what else has mankind always dreamed of?
That must be the Midas touch.
Have endless gold.
Now it is indeed possible to synthesize gold in our laboratory.
But the cost of synthesizing gold is many times higher than the value of the synthesized gold.
There is absolutely no need for this.
This way everyone should understand what to buy in the future. ”
The excavations of the former Soviet Union make it clear.
Needless to say, diamonds are a bad thing in the universe and on Blue Star.
There is no such thing at all. It is necessary to spend money to buy a carbon in your own hand.
But if that's all.
The former Soviet Union spent so much time and money, is this the only gain?
“Apart from this, what else did the scientists of the former Soviet Union discover?
They also found traces of living things more than 7,000 meters underground.
Inside are some microscopic fossils of single-celled organisms.
These fossils of single-celled organisms can provide important information for studying the ancient ecological environment of Blue Star.
We can know the initial biological evolution of Blue Star.
What kind of environment is it?
The process of biological evolution and the birth of life.
Provide very high information value for these studies.
It can let us know what happened to the Blue Star billions of years ago.
The problem is that these microscopic fossils were sealed away by the former Soviet Union.
The results of the research have not been published. "
Microscopic biological fossils more than seven thousand meters long?
Some biologists became excited just hearing this.
"This is bigger than ancient ice layers It needs to be something of research value. ”
"Yes, we study the previous climate and environment on Blue Star."
"We study it by studying ice samples dug out of the ice layer."
"Because ice is like this The environment stores information about the environment at that time. "
So the fossils of those microscopic organisms are indeed very valuable for research.
Because it is impossible to find these things on our surface. This is what Professor Yan Xin thought of.
“Did those gods come to our Blue Star just for the gold on our Blue Star?”
“So gold is a very special and important element?”
Professor Yan Xin doesn’t understand why gold is so important.
This is true even in myths and legends.
The eight-foot-long golden body cultivated by Buddha.
The golden elixir and golden nature cultivated by the practitioners in the Taoist sect.
There are also the legendary Da Luo Jinxian and the like.
Is there any connection here?
Professor Yan Xin can’t figure it out.
Then Ye Zhen continued.
“What I just said is that they found fossils of creatures in the ground.
These are creatures that once existed.
But in fact, they still A living life form was really discovered in the underground. ”
A living life form?
some biologists exclaimed.
“Absolutely impossible! In such a high-temperature and high-pressure environment.”
“How can any living thing survive?”
“Even some extreme creatures cannot survive. . ”
They couldn’t believe that the former Soviet Union could find living creatures in the Kola ultra-deep drilling.
This is completely impossible.
Some of the audience started to get excited.
“Could it be that we have really discovered the underground people!”
“I think we have discovered the dinosaur people! They are the legendary dragons!”
“No, no, no. , I think they are the remnants of the super ancient civilization, just like the people of Gonggong.”
Everyone knows the big one is finally coming.
In Bureau 749, Song Xuan asked and answered questions.
“So the former Soviet Union chose to give up drilling because they dug up living organisms.”
“Did they choose to give up drilling?”
“This shouldn’t be the case. Life forms were discovered in such an extreme environment.”
"Shouldn't we increase investment and continue research?"
"Could it be true that we have encountered a civilization in the underground world?" Song Xuan was talking to himself.
Lao Chen said from the side, "Do you know how big the Kola drilling rig is?"
"The widest part on it is only 92cm, less than 1m."
"The narrowest part is only 21.5cm."
"What kind of creatures do you think can come out of it?"
Song Xuan immediately replied, "A short underground man?"
Ning Xiu then replied, "Maybe some kind of terrifying unknown Creatures."
"There are no such creatures in the real world."
"Didn't Advisor Ye say before? Octopuses can pass through places that are more than ten times smaller than their own bodies. ”
"Because all of them are soft, as long as their mouths can pass through."
"Then the whole body can pass through."
"If you get closer, it will be a cat."< br>
“Everyone jokes that cats are liquid and can pass through all kinds of small places.”
“Is it possible that the same is true for underground creatures?”
< br>
What Ning Xiu said did make sense.
Terrorist creatures living deep underground?
This has to make some people think of some kind of Cthulhu creature.
But Ye Zhen changed the topic and suddenly stopped talking.
Instead, some seemingly irrelevant content was brought up.
"As long as everyone has studied biology, they all know about biological fossils."
"Our current understanding of many extinct creatures."
"It is all based on these biological fossils. ."
"But do you know where biological fossils come from?" (End of this chapter)
