Chapter 830: The Luxurious Golden Palace

……

Although Liu Dong had seen it countless times in the past few days since he came to the castle, when he really saw it with his own eyes and stood in front of it in person, the indescribable shock still couldn't be expressed by Liu Dong in words.

There are many words about the Golden House in China, such as the famous 'own golden house in the book', and the allusion of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's 'Golden House Zangjiao', etc.

But most of this is used as a metaphor, and no emperor has ever built a palace out of gold.

But today Liu Dong saw it.

Now in front of him is a golden house!

No!

A golden palace to be exact!

Because it has gone beyond the concept of a 'house', it is completely a golden palace with an area of 600 square meters and a height of 10 meters.

This palace has a living room, a bedroom, a dining room, a study, a bathroom, in short, all the necessary space for human life is included in it.

And these spaces are not empty, and in each space there are furniture made entirely of gold.

In addition to the gold furniture, the walls are decorated with diamonds, silver leaf, agate, rubies, emeralds and many other colorful gemstones in a variety of elaborate patterns, and in the corners are beautiful sculptures made entirely of large emeralds that are exactly the size of an adult.

As well as pure gold swords, armor, heavy swords, gold plates, gin cups, gold tableware, etc., you can see almost everything you can think of that can be made out of gold!

During the stroll. Liu Dong's mind was completely shocked. Although this golden palace is not much of a classical work of art. Even if it is not more than 30 years old, this does not cause the slightest damage to its value.

Whether it is gold, or at least 100,000 pieces of jewelry and furnishings, they are all symbols of wealth, and they are not in the slightest tacky when placed or set in palaces, because they all serve a beautiful and great work of art.

Of course, the value of this work of art is immeasurable.

Liu Dong only estimated the value of this golden palace from the actual value of these jewels and gold.

Of course, if you want to calculate, there must be a standard, and Liu Dong's standard is the 'Eighth Wonder of the World' that was once famous, but still does not know its whereabouts - Amber Room!

The famous "Amber Room" was built in 1709. Frederick I, King of Prussia at that time, in order to emulate the luxurious life of King Louis XIV of France, ordered the most famous architect in Prussia to build the "Amber Room", which covers an area of about 55 square meters, with a total of 12 parapet panels and 12 column bases, all of which are made of amber, which was 12 times more expensive than gold at that time, with a total weight of at least 6 tons, and the "Amber Room" is also decorated with diamonds, precious stones and silver leaf, which can be assembled into various shapes at will, and is glorious and magnificent after completion, and is known as the "Eighth Wonder of the World".

Year 1716. King Wilhelm I of Prussia, in order to form an alliance with Russia, presented this rare treasure to Peter the Great of Russia. However 1941 year. Nazi German troops invaded St. Petersburg, dismantled the "Amber Room" in the royal palace, loaded 27 boxes and transported them back to Königsberg, Germany. After the end of World War II, the "Amber Room" has been missing since then, and has mysteriously disappeared from the eyes of the world.

Although he had never seen the magnificence of the Amber Room, Liu Dong believed that this golden palace was not inferior to the other party in terms of value.

And the Amber Room is only 55 square meters!

Six tons of natural amber were used in the 55-square-meter amber room, and the gold was about 20 times denser than amber!

To make a simple analogy, if a palace is built with gold, 55 square meters will cost about 120 tons of gold! 600 square meters would require 1,309 tons of gold.

Of course, the real situation cannot be counted like this, after all, because of the difference in space, the thickness of the building wall is different, and the raw materials consumed will definitely be different.

But Liu Dong believes that the gold used in this 600-square-meter golden palace must be no less than 1,200 tons of gold!

According to the current market price, gold is $400 an ounce, and after the 9/11 incident gradually passed, the international gold price has fallen from its peak.

But even so, the value of 1,200 tons of gold in this golden palace alone is as high as 17 billion US dollars, and if you count the countless treasures inside!

More than $20 billion, that's for sure!

It is only in today's era of mechanized gold mining that this artistic marvel of being built entirely out of gold can occur.

Of course, it is also because of Muñoz's unique taste for gold that this rare and unique artistic treasure has been created!

Of course, the golden palace now worth $20 billion, maybe Muñoz spent only one-half, one-third, or even less to build.

After all, he has a gold mine in his hands, and he also has an emerald mine, so he is completely self-sufficient.

But no matter how much money this luxurious, majestic, magnificent, luxurious, and all the words of mankind praise wealth to describe the golden palace cost Muñoz, it will belong to Liu Dong from now on!

However, after turning the entire Golden Palace from the inside to the outside more than a dozen times, Liu Dong finally understood a problem!

No matter how luxurious or valuable this golden palace is, it can't bring him a penny of wealth!

Because, it is obviously impossible for Liu Dong to dismantle this exquisite artwork and sell it, this kind of completely violent means of destroying heaven and earth is not a wise man, then the fate of this golden palace in the future will be the most precious exhibit after the restoration of the Old Summer Palace, the treasure of the town hall!

Therefore, this 'amazing miracle' created by Muñoz with his life's energy and a lot of wealth is destined to bring little help to Liu Dong.

"But it's good that it's mine, isn't it?"

Thinking of this, Liu Dong finally had some comfort in his heart!

After settling down and slowly receiving the mustard seed space from this golden palace little by little, Liu Dong felt great satisfaction in his heart. Then he glanced at the ninth-floor dungeon, which was empty and brightly lit, and returned to the eighth layer above.

……

"Young Master?"

Jose. Aquilar knocked on the door!

Liu Dong lived in the original Muñoz room, but after Liu Dong took away the alloy code door, Liu Dong was unwilling to live in a coffin-like metal box like Muñoz, so he asked Jose to press an ordinary wooden door again.

With his current ability to be alert, anyone with malicious intentions can be spotted by him as soon as he enters the room. There is no need to set up excessive security measures.

Moreover, the level of security in this well-guarded castle is perverted enough!

"Come in!"

Liu Dong's voice made Jose. Aquilar said yes and pushed the door open and walked in.

"Young master, breakfast is ready, after you finish eating, you can take the plane directly ......!"

The words are not finished, Jose. Aquilar's eyes were already wide, and his face was full of shock.

"How? Like, right? Liu Dong said with a smile.

"Whew!"

After hearing a familiar voice and letting out a heavy breath, Jose. Aquilar couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It's too similar, if I hadn't seen Muñoz die at the hands of the young master before, I really thought he hadn't died!" ”

The vivid mask on Liu Dong's face really jumped him.

"Hehe, since you can't see it to you, the person who knows Muñoz best, then it's impossible for the others!" Liu Dong said with a smile.

"Young master, do you want to?" Jose. Aquilar's eyes lit up.

"There is a saying in China called 'boiled frogs in warm water', and if we suddenly move to clear the obstacles in the army, the means are too drastic, and it is likely to lead to unpredictable changes! On the contrary, if we use gradual means to clean up in various ways little by little, we can control the army in our hands as smoothly as possible! ”

"Young Master is wise!" To Liu Dong's surprise, this Chinese sentence Jose. Aquilar actually said the words in a round voice.

"This guy is really a smart guy, no wonder he is so trusted under Muñoz!"

After glancing at Jose, who looked respectful, Liu Dong said: "Let's go, after breakfast, let's go to Raya Valley, I can't wait to see my army!" ”

Listening to the voice of Liu Dong completely turning into Muñoz, Jose. The look of surprise in Aquilar's eyes flickered.

His new owner is becoming more and more mysterious!

Half an hour later, three heavily armed helicopters lifted off from the castle and headed towards the Raya Valley on the outskirts of the castle.

The Raya Valley is not far from the castle, and it is only separated by two mountains, which is the only mountain access to the castle from the outside.

In less than ten minutes, Liu Dong had already seen from the plane a huge valley surrounded by mountains, between the greenery, covering an area of more than 1,000 acres, on the east side of the valley was a barracks, most of which were no more than five stories high, and on the north side of the valley was an arsenal, where tanks and armored vehicles were placed, and about 12 helicopter gunships.

Not to mention tanks and armored vehicles, these 12 Mi-24 helicopter gunships alone are worth more than $100 million, and the monthly maintenance fee is even more expensive!

Before coming Jose. Aquilar once showed Liu Dong the equipment level of this division, and the equipment of helicopters, tanks, armored vehicles and automatic artillery is basically equivalent to one-third of the motorized divisions in China!

Over the course of a year, the cost of equipment maintenance, training, etc., will cost at least $500 million!

However, looking at the results of the annual training of 500 million US dollars below from the plane, Liu Dong couldn't help frowning! (To be continued......)
