One of the colonel's officers at the bottom of the steps suddenly shouted loudly to his feet, and then many officers and soldiers stood up.

Zhao Zhongyao, Yan Mingcheng and other leaders on the stage also stood up.

At this time, the colonel officer turned around, looked at Zhao Zhongyao and saluted a military salute, and reported loudly: "Comrade Director, all the officers and men of the Jianghai Armored Division have completed preparations for the mobilization meeting, please instruct." ”

Zhao Zhongyao was taken aback for a while! You know, he thought that this officer must have reported to Yan Mingcheng, how could it be a report to himself!

But no matter what, now that they have reported to him, he has no choice but to be a leader. "Let's start!" Zhao Zhongyao had no choice but to return a military salute to the officer.

"Sit down!" the officer turned and gave a loud order to the crowd.

Zhao Zhongyao and the leaders on the stage also sat down.

"Old Yan, what kind of reputation are you doing, how can you let that officer report to me!" After Zhao Zhongyao sat down, he asked Yan Mingcheng beside him in a low voice.

"Zhongyao! Is this a rare opportunity, and you still don't thank me for giving you a chance to be a leader!" Yan Mingcheng secretly laughed.

"Damn, then you have to tell me in advance! It caught me off guard!" Zhao Zhongyao still looked at Yan Mingcheng with some displeasure.

"I told you, how could you have such a surprise!" Yan Mingcheng said with a smile again.

"Surprise! I almost didn't know what to do. Zhao Zhongyao looked at Yan Mingcheng and muttered again.

"Alright, it's time for the meeting. Yan Mingcheng is no longer talking to Zhao Zhongyao.

He cleared his throat and looked at the officers and soldiers in the audience and said, "Comrades, a few days ago, I told you that we were going to participate in a large-scale joint exercise of the three services. As for why this exercise was being carried out, I have not yet made it clear.

I think everyone must be speculating! Some veterans even wonder if they are going to go to war!

Here, I would like to explain it to you. We're not going to war. It's to participate in a drill. But in addition to the exercise, there is another important task! What is this work? I don't think anyone can guess.

This job is to protect a gold vein discovered by our exploration team of Jiang University of Technology on a big mountain in Nanyun Province. This is a gold mine with a high content. Worth tens of billions.

But this gold vein is on the border of Nagumo Province, which is a very dangerous place. As you know, the border has not been very peaceful in recent times. Some hostile elements in country Y have been spying on our country's Nanyun Province for a long time, and they are thinking about how to occupy this province!

Everyone also knows that country Y is a very small country, and they always want to expand their territory. That's why I'm thinking about encroaching on some of our Chinese territory!

But we are not easy to bully. Some time ago. An armored division of ours stationed in Nanyun Province has beaten an armored division of country Y to the ground! For a period of time, they will no longer dare to invade us!

But in any case, the border is not very peaceful now. Therefore, the gold mine discovered by our Jiangxi University of Technology this time is very dangerous. If you let the enemy know, I'm afraid they will come and seize it!

Therefore, the higher-level leaders ordered our Jianghai Armored Division to go to the Nanyun front line, so as to defend this gold mine discovered by our exploration team of Jianggong University!

Now everyone should understand. The real purpose of our exercise is to protect this gold mine. It's not like a war or anything like that!

A small country of Y, our big country, does not take it seriously at all! They are not our opponents at all. Their entire country is not as big as our Nanyun Province!

They want to encroach on our territory. That is self-destruction! Our troops stationed in Nanyun Province are all elite divisions of the whole army! Our troops stationed in Nanyun Province alone can already occupy the entire country of Y! There is no need at all, these troops in our interior will do it!

So. All of us should not have any worries, thinking that this exercise may be going to war! We're here to protect the gold mines. The reason why our superiors don't tell us the truth. This is mainly because this gold mine is too close to the border, not to mention, it is also for the sake of secrecy!

Speaking of which, everyone must be surprised. Even if you go to protect the gold mines, why does it take so long? Because the gold mine is on the border, it is naturally very unsafe.

Therefore, after the exploration team of our Jiang University of Technology discovered it, they immediately reported to their superiors that they wanted to mine this gold mine immediately. Because this gold ore is very rich and the ground is very shallow, if it is not mined immediately, it is easy for the enemy to get ahead of the enemy. Only if we mine all these gold mines as soon as possible, then can we rest assured!

But as you know, mining a gold mine is no joke. It will take a lot of cooperation from all sides, and a lot of preparations! It will take at least three months from the discovery of gold to the start of mining!

That's why we will go to Nagumo Province for at least three months. Don't be cranky, everyone. Say, we're going to war or something.

It's impossible. Nanyun Province has troops, even if it starts a war with country Y, it won't be able to talk about us!

Okay, I won't dwell on anything else. I invited Director Zhao of Jiang University of Technology to the scene of our mobilization meeting, just to convince everyone that we are not going to fight this time.

It's about protecting the gold mines!

Now, let Director Zhao talk about the gold mine again! In this way, everyone will believe it even more!

Okay, welcome to Director Zhao's speech. ”

After Yan Mingcheng finished speaking, he let Zhao Zhongyao speak, and also took the lead in applauding!

Everyone applauded.

"Bang Bang! Bang Bang ——"

Zhao Zhongyao was also a little caught off guard now! He hadn't made any preparations before. Now let him speak, he really doesn't know what to say!

"Old Yan, what are you asking me to say! I am not prepared!" Zhao Zhongyao looked at Yan Mingcheng helplessly.

"Damn! Director Zhao, you're a professor at Jiang Institute of Technology! You teach students every day! Why, when you get to this auditorium, you can't speak! You just give everyone a geography lesson. Let everyone know a little bit about gold mines. ”

Yan Mingcheng saw that Zhao Zhongyao didn't know what to say for a while, so he reminded him. If he wanted to know, he should just think he was teaching the soldiers.

"Well, in that case, I'll teach you a lesson about gold!"

Zhao Zhongyao said. I started lecturing to everyone.

"Gold is a very precious metal. Both in industry and otherwise, they are of high value. It can be said that since the existence of human society, gold has played an important role in people's lives.

It's just that due to the excessive greed of human beings for gold, the amount of gold on the earth is gradually decreasing. Before the nineteenth century, over a period of 5,000 years, mankind produced only 200 tons of gold.

This is mainly because, before the nineteenth century, human beings did not use any science and technology to explore and mine, so naturally there was very little gold mined.

However, as mankind enters the industrial age, science and technology are changing with each passing day. The ability of humans to mine gold has also increased dramatically.

Now human beings are mining more than 2,000 tons of gold every year. It can be said that the gold produced by mankind in the first year is now ten times more than the gold produced by humans in the previous 5,000 years.

Gold is of great significance to human civilization and progress. The reason why humans love gold is that it has a beautiful luster, and that it is malleable.

The ancients said, 'Real gold is not afraid of fire'. In fact, there is no scientific reason. The ancients said this because the smelting temperature of the ancients was not high enough. It is difficult to exceed the high temperature of a thousand degrees. And the melting point of gold is 1,064 degrees!

One of the most important properties of gold over other metals is its malleability.

It can be said that it is second to none among all metals. Gold can create very thin flakes that are easy to roll up. 1 ounce of gold can be hammered as thin as 1 foot thick and 100 square feet in size. In ancient times, it was hammered into thin slices to decorate temples and palaces. All these can illustrate the extreme flexibility and malleability of gold.

The color of gold is golden yellow with a metallic luster. Difficult to decompose. Hardness 2-3, pure gold 19.3, melting point 1064.4 °C, good ductility, can be pressed into thin foil. It has very high heat transfer and electrical conductivity, and the resistance of pure gold is 2.4p. Pure gold has good chemical resistance and is the best electroplating material.

Gold is a very soft metal, but it is inferior to lead and tin. Marks can be made with fingernails on pure gold. This softness makes gold very easy to work with, but this is not ideal for ornament makers. Because it is easy to scratch the decoration, make it tarnished and even affect the appearance. Therefore, when making jewelry from gold, copper and silver are generally added to increase its hardness.

Gold is easy to forge and malleable, and can be milled into transparent and transparent green gold leaf with a thickness of 0.001 mm. 0.5 grams of gold can be drawn into 160 meters of gold wire.

It is precisely because of these properties that gold has become an important metal element in modern industry. The reason why Western countries quickly entered the industrial age is inseparable from their mining and utilization of gold.

This time, we at the Jiang University of Technology discovered such a high content of gold, reaching a content of more than 10 to 50 grams per ton.

When everyone heard this, they thought, "A ton is only 50 grams, and there is no mining value?" Generally, the grade of gold mined in industry is 0.5 grams per ton, which has industrial mining value!

The gold ore found by our Jiang University of Technology is already an ultra-rich mine, and this is the largest gold mine found in China! The preliminary estimate is that this gold ore contains 200 tons of pure gold!

Think about what this concept is. In the past, our country produced only 200 tons of gold in 5,000 years! There is another very important characteristic that is unique to this gold mine.

The veins of this gold mine are very shallowly buried, only about 50 meters. In other words, this is a gold mine that can be mined in the open pit!

Perhaps, there will be some gold on the outside of that mountain! It can be said that that mountain is a real 'golden mountain'!

The gold mine we have discovered in Nanyun Province now contains only 200 tons! What a great discovery this is! It is very important for China's gold output this year.

As long as China mines this gold mine this year, it can become the country that produces the most gold in the world this year!

Okay, that's all I have to say, and I think everyone should know the importance of our exercise this time! I'm here to make money!

This is a gold mine worth tens of billions! If the enemy is allowed to take it away, will it not be a huge loss for our country!

Therefore, we must protect it this time, this is the great contribution we have made to the country!"

Zhao Zhongyao talked a lot about gold. Everyone is really fascinated by it!

You must know that in the previous meetings, the leaders were talking about the work style, discipline and military training of the troops. These clichés made the soldiers feel sleepy when they heard them! But this time, Zhao Zhongyao's 'story of gold' made everyone listen to it with relish! One by one, they pricked up their ears and quietly listened to Zhao Zhongyao explaining some knowledge about gold.

After Zhao Zhongyao finished speaking, he asked Yan Mingcheng to speak again.

At this time, Yan Mingcheng looked at everyone again and said: "Comrades, you should understand now! This time we are going to protect the gold mine, this is a rare opportunity!"

Director Zhao has already said a lot just now, so we should understand it! This time we are not going to a drill! We are going to pan for gold! I wonder if you are interested!"

As soon as Yan Mingcheng said this, some people below laughed quietly. And, I started talking about it for a while!

"Ah, we're going to pick up gold! If I can pick up a piece of dog's head gold, then I'll be rich!" I also heard Director Zhao say that that the mountain is full of gold, and it is a real 'golden mountain'! He immediately began to dream of making a fortune!

"Damn! You still have to pick up the dog's head gold! That depends on your kid, whether you have this dog's head blessing or not!" The veteran squad leader who was sitting next to him laughed and scolded him again after listening to the words of the new soldier under him.

"Squad leader, don't laugh at me, I happen to be a dog! Maybe, I will have a dog's head blessing, and I can pick up a piece of dog's head gold!" (To be continued......)
