Chapter 1165: The Land of Gold

In anticipation, three days later, Cable TV Channel 1 broadcast the second episode of the documentary "Into the Wilderness" - "El Dora.

Compared with the primitive and barbaric and shocking social and ecological environment of the entire Eaglebeak region of the Western Continent in the previous episode, this episode of the program is exciting.

Because the content of this episode is very suitable for the subtitle of this episode, the country of gold.

About seven or eight years ago, the price of gold was about four yuan a gram, but now, the price of gold per gram has risen to seven yuan and eighty cents, and the price of gold in the non-ferrous metal market is also steadily rising, and there has been almost no significant decline.

People can see that with the advancement of time and the development of society, the price of gold is very likely to exceed ten yuan a gram, and there is nothing more valuable than gold.

Currency stored in banks has the potential to depreciate, but gold seems to be difficult to depreciate.

The hostess on location on the TV screen has changed into a suit more suited to operating in the tropical jungle, and she is surrounded by more soldiers than she did last time.

The last time it was just a long-distance observation, but this time, it was directly into the tropical jungle.

Among the many indigenous people in the Eagle's Beak area are tribes such as the Luluhado, which have formed a micro-social ethnic tribe, and there are also "family organizations" that live in the jungle and wilderness according to blood relations.

In addition, the war in the Hawkbeak area has not stopped for some time now, and the film crew has hired enough soldiers to protect their personal safety.

With the shaky image, an ancient altar with traces of history and moss appeared somewhere in the jungle.

The hostess began to introduce herself to the audience in front of the TV screen.

"We found this abandoned altar based on some accounts from local indigenous people. ”

"In their culture, they believe in and revere a terrible demon king who has fallen asleep for a certain period of time and will destroy the world once he wakes up. ”

When she said this, the hostess couldn't help but show a smile, as we all know, the world was created by God, and even if there is a demon god, it is suppressed by God.

There were also many people in the audience in front of the television who laughed and scoffed at this statement, especially those who believed in the religion of the Lord of Heaven.

"In the local culture, the indigenous people believed that if the demon king did not eat for a long time, he would wake up from hunger for a short time, bringing plague and terrible disasters to the world, so they would perform sacrifices on the second rainy day of each season, or the last day. ”

"From what we've learned so far, they'll use the blood of beasts to water altars like this, filling the entire groove at the bottom of the altar with the blood of the beast......"

In the picture, the hostess squatted down in front of the camera and used a branch to knock away some of the floating soil and moss, revealing part of the altar under the dirt, some of which were dark brown in color, darker than the dark green moss around them.

The hostess walked to a stone platform in the middle of the altar with a branch and continued, "They will sacrifice the head and heart of the beast to the demon god in exchange for a long sleep. ”

"In the past, people didn't understand the causes of natural disasters, so they attributed disasters that they couldn't understand to something they couldn't understand, and they sought solace in that way. ”

"In the religious rites here, the indigenous people were as reverent as most primitive denominations to their gods, so they would use gold as a vessel to provide blood food as a sacrificial ......"

The female reporter dropped the branch and took a multifunctional shovel from the hands of the entourage, and she scraped the floating soil from the altar, revealing the main structure like a stone.

"It looks like it's just a huge rock, but it's actually ...... Help me get the ......", the female reporter handed the microphone to the others, and then waved the shovel in her hand and chiseled it the altar.

Ding's crisp sound was not the sound of a stone, the picture suddenly advanced a lot, so that a gap on the altar was clear, and the people in front of the TV unexpectedly found that in that inconspicuous gap, there was a trace of extremely heart-warming bright color!

It's a little more pale than gold, but it's not quite like ordinary metal.

Is it brass?

Or gold?

Many people's hearts suddenly began to beat violently at this moment, and some of them were keenly aware of something.

The female reporter would chop and chisel a few more times, so that the altar revealed more golden openings, and then took back the microphone, "The use of precious metals, especially silver and gold, as ritual utensils in rituals is a very common phenomenon, although many civilizations have such a practice so far, but our scientists still can't explain why people would use gold and silver as utensils in the closed social environment of lack of communication in the past. ”

"But it doesn't matter, the top layer of the altar behind me, about ten centimeters thick, is made of gold!"

She seemed to be able to sense the eagerness and excitement of the audience as the episode aired, and after a slight pause, continued, "But they are not pure gold, and it is rare that they were able to turn gold ore into such a gold plate in the absence of equipment and more advanced smelting technology in the past." ”

"According to the tests of our entourage, it is about 40% to 60% pure, mixed with some other associated metal elements, but I believe that if it is refined, it will be able to obtain a lot of high-purity gold. ”

"In the primitive ecological society near the eagle's beak, similar altars are scattered almost everywhere, some of which have been abandoned due to the extinction or relocation of the tribe, and some are still in use. ”

"According to what we know so far, in the southernmost and largest tribe in the Eagle's Beak region, the altar they use for sacrifice is made entirely of gold!"

"In the Eagle's Beak region, there are very large and rich open pit gold deposits, and the low-risk open pit mining has given the indigenous people access to a large amount of gold products, for whom gold is more of a hard currency ...... everywhere."

The main purpose of this episode is to introduce the civilization and history of the Eagle's Beak region, and the casual mention of gold or something, soon the content of the television begins to change, and an indigenous boy who looks to be sixteen, seventeen or eighteen years old appears in the picture.

"This is the youngest son of Chief Luluhado, and we all know that Chief Luluhado is very awe-inspiring and eager for civilization, and he is also the first chief to go out of the Hawkbeak region. ”

When he knew we were going to record a show that was related to the local culture and history, he offered his young son, who could speak lingua franca, to help us answer some questions. ”

Then the two chatted about a lot of culture and traditions in the Eaglebeak area, and finally the host asked more curiously beyond the scope of the script.

"I've noticed that almost every tribe of you has its own altar to worship the sleeping demon god, so is there any name for this demon god, or is there a legend about him?"

Golhado's youngest son, Agohari, explained in a somewhat jerky lingua franca, "In the legends that have been handed down from generation to generation, this great demon god has brought destruction and new life, and he is the origin and end of all things. ”

"A waking up and a deep slumber is the end of a period...... In the past, our ancestors called him the 'Emperor of the Eternal Immortal Dragons'......"

The female reporter nodded and said with a smile, "Immortal Dragon Emperor? This is a very ......", her expression made the audience laugh a little, hiding a hint of sarcasm, "Very majestic title!"

The audience in front of the TV will also smile heartily, this is probably the silent ridicule of civilization for barbarism!

The ratings of this episode are so high that they are being replayed over and over again in the showcases of some shopping malls and shops that sell televisions.

The well-fed inhabitants of the empire are no longer satisfied with simple spiritual enjoyment and pursuit, supplemented by media reports, and people are also paying more and more attention and interest in some international news.

On the second day of the broadcast, when the whole society was curious about the barbarism and culture of the Eagle's Beak area, the Imperial Cabinet suddenly announced that the IFTO meeting would be held as scheduled as planned.

At the same time, there is also some gossip that the international financial and trade organization will issue a new international currency, and all member countries will use the star dollar and the international currency named "Union Currency" for international trade settlement.

In order to stabilize the exchange rate of the Union Currency from additional issuance due to some uncontrollable artificial reasons and accelerate inflation, the Ministry of Foreign Trade, the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Cabinet of Ministers of the Reich believe that the newly issued Union Currency will be pegged to gold.

IFTO will set up an internal discipline department to conduct strict inspections and audits of the issuance of alliance coins and gold reserves of member countries twice a year.

Although this news has not been confirmed by any official body, it has caused a huge sensation in the non-ferrous metals market.

Gold prices in the non-ferrous metals sector of the three major banks soared by six percent after the opening and there is a further upward trend.

People may not understand what's going on behind all this, but they do know very well that gold is getting more and more expensive.

And, on the other side of the strait, have a savage, primitive, gold-filled area where war is taking place!

For a time, many, many people had the urge to go to the eagle's beak area and put this urge into action.
