Chapter 3: The Golden Army

The gods are also unreliable, dignified Chinese gods, run to study the constellations, except for women, men only study the constellations when they are pickling girls. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Chen Dou of Shanwei Village is very familiar, his family lives there, "Close to Weng Yushan?" One is to the east of Laihai City, and the other is to the west of Laihai Market, so it's not close. ”

In the eyes of the gods, this distance is about the same as that of the next-door neighbor.

Chen Dou didn't have classes today, "Why don't you go home and have a look?" ”

In the area of Weng Yushan, the mountain fog is still not dispersed, and there is a saying to describe the mountain fog as curling smoke, and the current mountain fog is the scene of the fire at all.

Generally speaking, the mountain fog comes and goes quickly, like a torrential rain, and everyone is surprised that it has not cleared for a whole day now.

Chen Dou touched the mobile phone in his pocket thoughtfully.

……

A month ago, a guest came from near Yamao Village, not an ordinary person, wearing camouflage uniforms, strict discipline, running drills every morning, maintaining a strict style and discipline even outside of working hours, walking in groups of two and three in columns.

At first, everyone didn't know where they came from, they were very worried, and some people called the police, but then the truth was revealed, they were one of China's most mysterious troops, the Golden Army.

The full name of the Gold Force is the Golden Unit of the Chinese People's Armed Police Force, which is an economic construction force under the dual leadership of the Armed Police Headquarters and the Ministry of Land and Resources, and undertakes the important task of exploring gold deposits for the state.

The seventh detachment of the Golden Force, which came to the village of Yamao a month ago, was stationed in the mountains, and their task was to find gold in the mountains.

At this moment, in the largest canvas tent in the camp, the atmosphere was solemn, and everyone frowned and did not say a word.

The easing of the world economic crisis only exists on paper, and in fact it has gone from one trough to another, the hands of the United States in printing money are shaking, and the dollar is not credible.

The U.S. dollar is the world's currency, the most widely circulated and the most credible, and there is no more trustworthy currency in the world, and even if there is, they cannot accommodate the huge volume of the renminbi.

More importantly, the renminbi is pursuing a path of internationalization and does not want to rely on any other country's currency as a medium.

As a result, China's thirst for gold is growing.

Gold is the world's hard currency since ancient times, and its liquidity and credibility are better than the US dollar.

The United States has more than 8,000 tons of gold reserves, accounting for nearly 80 percent of its foreign exchange, while China has less than 2,000 tons, accounting for less than 2 percent of its foreign exchange.

It is not feasible to increase gold reserves by buying them, and the Americans are not stupid, they not only pay attention to their own gold reserves, but also strictly control the flow of gold. Gold in many European countries is stored in the Federal Reserve, and it is difficult to even look at the nominal storage, let alone ship it back to the country.

To increase the gold reserves, it was only through their own exploration to find new mineral deposits, and a heavy burden was placed on the twelve detachments of the gold troops.

The detachment leader, Sheng Jun, with the rank of lieutenant colonel, is in his forties, and his face is full of weather.

"Everybody talks, what should I do, do I continue to investigate or do I change places?"

Since last year, the gold unit has replaced new equipment and hired a large number of technical personnel with heavy money; in the first half of this year, except for the eleven detachments of the seven detachments, each of them has made some gains, but only seven of them, let alone gold mines, have not even found a grain of golden sand.

Political Commissar Meng Jiazhi, with the rank of lieutenant colonel, is about the same age as Sheng Jun, wearing glasses and looking a little Sven, but his skin is not Sven, and it is as rough as sand.

"We've surveyed four sites this year, and the results are all the same, and there's no point in needlessly changing locations until we figure out why."

Xia Bo, a professor of geology who was just hired last year, compared to Sheng Jun and Meng Jiazhi, he is a real Sven, clean and unstained with dust.

"What does Commissar Meng mean, accusing me of choosing the wrong place? Gold is hidden in the ground, and it is not easy to find them, and it requires a large amount of geological exploration data to summarize and compare......"

"But the other detachments have found new gold mines, whether big or small, they have all gained, but our seven detachments have not even seen the shadow of gold." "That's because ......"

"Okay, don't make any noise." Sheng Jun pinched his eyebrows, "Prospecting for gold depends on luck to a certain extent, Lao Meng, we are all old men of the gold army, you should be able to understand." Professor Xia, tell me, is there any gold near Shanwei Village? ”

Xia Bo looked depressed and hung his head, "No. ”

"You said a month ago that there was a high probability of gold mines here, but why didn't you have any? Let's explore a few more points, maybe it's a small gold mine, and we just missed it. Meng Jiazhi said anxiously.

"I have taken you to do a comprehensive survey and analysis, and there is no gold mine with mining value in the area of Shanwei Village." Xia Bo shook his head helplessly.

Mining value means that the output exceeds the input, and the value of gold is very high, even if the gold content of the gold mine is as low as one or two grams per tonne, it has considerable mining value, especially for the gold troops with political tasks, and what really hinders them is the depth.

At present, the domestic drilling technology can only support exploration within 1 kilometer, and mining is even more so, and gold deposits with a depth of more than 1,000 meters can only increase relevant information, which is meaningless for gold reserves.

……

Chen Dou transferred twice to the nearest station to Shanwei Village, intending to walk back, when he happened to meet his cousin **** passing by on a motorcycle. said that he was a cousin, but in fact he was not related by blood, they were all from Shanwei Village, and they were all surnamed Chen, and they were called casually according to their age.

took a hitchhike home, because there was no prior notice, his parents were not at home, and **** warmly greeted him to his house for dinner.

His parents are not at home, even his grandparents are busy in the farmland, and only his grandfather is there. 's grandfather is the oldest in Shanwei Village, and his peers follow suit.

Grandpa Tai sat on a recliner listening to the radio, and saw Chen Dou greeting with a smile, "The college student is back." ”

Chen Dou is the only college student in Yamao Village, and he has not only the expectations of his parents, but also the expectations of the entire village, and he is deeply ashamed to recall what he did at school.

Grandpa Tai was old and had a bad appetite, so he didn't eat with them, so he watched from the sidelines.

Chen Dou was very uncomfortable and felt that he should say something, "Grandpa, do you know where the oldest well in our village is?" ”

The mobile phone screen has not been turned off since the morning, he just looked at it, the power is still sufficient, and the screen is full of stamina.

Reason told him that there are no immortals in the world, and there is no Heavenly Court, and the "Heavenly Court" in WeChat is just a funny public account, which should not be believed.

If you ask if there is no loss, you should give yourself some knowledge, Chen Dou persuaded himself.

The chaise longue shook weakly and gradually stopped, and the radio was still playing a commentary loudly, and the grandfather seemed to be asleep with his eyes closed.

"Let's be quiet, don't make noise until grandpa sleeps." "The sound of the radio can't wake up, as long as we don't fire the cannon, who is safe."

"I remember."

Chen Dou and ****, who were talking in a low voice, were startled, it turned out that Grandpa was not asleep.

"As I get older, my memory is getting worse and worse," Grandpa Tai blinked, revealing a little sleepiness, "The oldest well in the village is in your house, not the well in the front yard, it was dug when you were born, in your backyard." ”

Chen Dou can't remember that there is a well in the backyard of his house, but there is a well in the backyard of the **** house, is it because his grandfather remembers it wrongly.

He wanted to ask again, but Grandpa was already snoring, so he had to give up.

"There seems to be a well in your backyard," **** is seven or eight years older than him, recalling his childhood, he has some impressions of the well that his grandfather said, "In the corner of the yard, I almost fell into it when I was a child." ”

Chen Dou returned home, but his parents had not returned, and the two went straight to the backyard.

Chen Dou was very familiar with his own situation, and he didn't need to look at him to know what was in the backyard, five trees, a stone table, and a simple shed to stack the sundries at home.

Looking in the direction of the stone table and scratching his head, "I remember, where is your old well?" "He's not sure either.
