Chapter 162: The Monetary Revolution
A large amount of solid water resources were found on the moon, and he immediately ordered the surveyors that you must not leak it, and they kept it strictly secret, because with the existence of water, the construction of the moon base will be smoother in the future, and even the moon city can be established in the future.

The water found this time is in solid form at the bottom of a crater, and the reserves are huge, which is completely enough for the consumption of the lunar base in the future.
And the discovery of these water resources proves that there will definitely be more water on the moon, so the day after getting the news, Zhu Lei is like the moon with a large number of geologists and explorers, ready to carry out large-scale exploration of the moon, is to talk, the main goal is the water resources on the moon, of course, in addition to water resources, other minerals are also in the goal of this exploration.
And he also ordered these explorers to analyze and determine the reserves of water resources as soon as they find them, and then edit them into a map of the distribution of lunar resources, which can be used as a reference when they build another base in the future, and now Zhu Lei is not worried about foreign forces landing on the moon to occupy these places, after all, now the earth except for the Ming Empire other countries do not have the ability to land on the moon for the time being, according to Zhu Lei's estimation, if other countries in the world want to land on the moon, it will take at least ten years of effort. And ten years is enough time for Zhu Lei to do a lot of things.
And Zhu Lei is not ready to keep the discovery of water resources on the moon a long-term secret, as long as Zhu Lei completes the construction of the first lunar base, he will make this matter public, after all, it is impossible for such a big thing to never leak secrets.
After the construction of the moon base is completed, a large number of personnel will definitely be stationed, and it will definitely not be kept secret at that time, after all, all countries in the world are now paying attention to every move of the Gate Empire.
And there must be more than a little water on the moon, there will be more water resources, and the Ming Empire cannot take all these water resources as its own, and when the countries have capacity building the moon, the Ming Empire must have occupied some water-rich places. And by then, the Ming Empire will definitely have the ability to carry out large-scale migration, and the importance of these water resources on the moon will be revealed.
Just when Zhu Lei was excited to find a large amount of water resources on the moon, the largest gold essence battery manufacturing base in Zhu Lei's fiefdom was also completed, this gold essence battery production base was built by Zhu Lei and the country together, covering a very wide area, and the output is also very large, if the energy is enough, the daily output will reach 100,000 tons, of course, this is the output in the case of sufficient energy.
But the current Ming Empire does not have so much excess energy to charge these produced gold essence batteries, because the output of this output of gold essence batteries in a single day will require fifty trillion kilowatt-hours of electricity if it is fully charged, such a huge hungry electricity consumption of the Ming Empire is very difficult even if it is supported by the electricity of the whole country, you must know that this is only the electricity consumed by daily charging, if it is a whole year, the electricity consumed will be astronomical.
Although when Zhu Lei began to build this battery production base, the official Ming Empire also built a large number of various power plants in various parts of the country, mainly solar energy and nuclear power plants, and now a large number of solar poles have begun to be laid on both sides of various cities and major highways and railways in the country, but this is only a cup of money for the huge power consumption of the Ming Dynasty, and the construction of nuclear power stations often takes a lot of time to build, so now before the construction of a large number of nuclear power plants is completed, The gold essence battery production base in Zhu Lei's fiefdom cannot produce at full power at all, so with the electricity provided by the Ming Empire now, this production base can only provide about 100 tons of gold essence batteries per day.
But in any case, the completion of this base now marks a solid material foundation for the new monetary policy of the Ming Empire.
So a few days later, the Ming Empire held a press conference at the Imperial Theater to announce the new monetary system of the Ming Empire.
Although in the near future, the new system will run together with the old monetary system, but the old monetary system will gradually withdraw from the Daimyo one-step monetary system, and the new monetary system of the Ming Empire will no longer be linked to gold, but directly to that one.
After the Ming Empire announced that it would implement a new monetary system, the scene of the press conference exploded all of a sudden, after all, the currency is linked to gold, which is the current mainstream monetary system in the world, and this system was broken after the Ming Empire announced the implementation of the new monetary system.
And such a major news did not reveal a little bit of information within the Ming Empire before this, and even many high-ranking officials of the Ming Empire did not know. Although before that the Ming Empire.
A few months ago, he began to recycle his own currency and sell the currency of other countries, although such an action caused many people to doubt, after all, there was no country so many before this, but only the Ming Empire did it, and then thought of the Ming Empire's massive military expansion, everyone thought that the Ming Empire's crazy currency was for war.
But no one would have thought that the Ming Empire would do this, just to pave the way for the issuance of new currency, and now this answer has finally been revealed.
The reason why the Ming Empire is called is that it is the currency of the Ming Empire, and since then it is no longer linked to gold, but directly linked to energy, that is to say, the Ming Empire has since implemented an energy-based monetary policy.
It is conceivable that after the press conference of the Ming Empire, the prices of precious metals such as gold and silver will plummet directly, and the currencies of other countries will also fall with the fall of gold prices.
But what is certain is that all the gold reserves in the treasury of the Ming Empire now, if no one takes over, will definitely flow to the market in large quantities, then the consequences will definitely be unimaginable, it depends on the specific operation of each country.
Although the Ming Empire had acquired a large number of its own currencies before, the sale of other countries' currencies had already attracted the attention of countries around the world, especially those international financial giants and banking consortia.
And they also quietly, with the acquisition of the national currency by the Ming Empire, they also began to buy the currency of the Ming Empire, although they don't know what the specific purpose of the Ming Empire is, after all, what are they doing, they are just international financial giants, and a superpower like the Ming Empire is something they can never reach.
