"Variants are the inevitable path that human beings will take in their evolution." Magneto said in a deep voice, "The reason why the general public hates mutants is precisely because they don't understand the specific principles of the ability.

Ignorance leads to fear, fear leads to hatred, and if the odds of mutants appearing can be increased by several orders of magnitude, then this fear of the unknown will be diluted, and even let go of the mustard and accept the glorious evolution. ”

Speaking of this, the rebellious old man lowered his head slightly, and said to Leon humbly and gently, "This is also the reason why I beg you to help on behalf of all mutants. ”

"Hmm....." Leon tapped the glass in his hand with his fingertips, pondered for a moment, and said, "I am just an ordinary person, and I have neither reason nor position to participate in this 'evolutionary' struggle. To convince me, you'll need more chips. ”

Magneto's brows furrowed, and he breathed a sigh of relief, since the other party was not a purebred human chauvinist, and he didn't refuse sharply at the first time, then there was still room for mediation and negotiation.

"As you know, my ability is to manipulate magnetic fields." Magneto flipped his palm, and all the metal utensils in the room floated in midair, and a wisp of fine golden sand seeped in through the crack in the closed door of the next room, twisting and twisting like a snake, and climbed onto the coffee table in front of Leon.

Gold, with the symbol Au, atomic mass 196, melting point 1064 °C, boiling point 2808 °C, symbol of wealth.

"There's an infinite amount of gold at the bottom of the ocean, and with a little bit of my ability on the surface, I can find a rich mine through the slightest change in the magnetic field. Through the manipulation of the magnetic field, it is easy to scavenge for tons or even tens of tons of gold every day. ”

Magneto snapped his fingers, and the door to the next room suddenly opened, filled with countless long strips of gold bricks, arranged in the shape of a pyramid, almost touching the ceiling of the roof.

The sparkle of brilliance was almost blinding, and Leon took a deep breath, got up from the couch, walked over to the pair of gold, picked up a piece and kneaded it in his hand.

The mutants of the Brotherhood in the living room looked at each other and smiled, no one could resist the temptation of gold, not even if they themselves possessed extraordinary powers and had a vision different from ordinary people, they were a little distracted at the moment of seeing such a huge wealth, let alone the mortal president of a mere technology company.

Magneto stood up and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Leon, as long as you agree, these gold bricks are yours, and as the plan progresses, we will continue to provide you with wealth. ”

"...."Leon lowered his head, kneaded the gold bars round and flattened like playing with mud, turned around and said indifferently: "I have to say, I am very disappointed in you. ”

"Huh??" Magneto raised his eyebrows and asked in a somewhat stiff tone, "What do you mean?" ”

Li Ang said coldly: "The exploration, mining, production and processing, trading and circulation, and saving and appreciation of gold are extremely cumbersome and complicated.

Barrick, the world's largest gold producer, has painstakingly scoured the United States, Canada, Peru, Argentina, Australia, and the Dominican Republic for gold in 6 million ounces, or about 168 tons, in a year.

And you, Mr. Magneto, can completely crush this paltry amount of mining with your abilities. ”

Magneto frowned and said, "I'm not keen on wealth, as long as I can keep the Brotherhood running..."

"Wrong!" Li Ang threw the crumpled gold nugget on the ground and said indifferently: "In the ranking of world gold reserves, the United States, which ranks first, has 8,133 tons, accounting for 73.3% of foreign exchange savings, and Germany, which ranks second, has 3,391 tons, accounting for 69% of foreign exchange savings. The so-called World Monetary Fund, on the other hand, has only 2,814 tons of gold. ”

The data that Leon put forward, not to mention those mutants who mostly dropped out of high school, even Magneto, who was self-taught and had a master's degree in engineering, did not understand, and could only stare dryly and patiently listen to the other party's narration.

"What is gold? It is wealth, the cornerstone of maintaining the world monetary fund system, and the lifeblood of modern society, politics and economic structure. ”

The gold standard began to take root in the mid-nineteenth century, and it was not until August 1971 that the United States government stopped exchanging dollars for gold, which collapsed the fragmented gold exchange standard.

This is not to say that the status of gold has declined, on the contrary, the reason for the collapse of the gold standard is that the capitalists on Wall Street have a better weapon, the paper money standard. ”

"The Federal Reserve, under the control of the capitalists, with its huge gold savings, and the arrogant military strength of the United States, pegged the dollar banknotes to the world economy, and the amount of currency in the dollar can control global inflation, while those countries whose military strength is inferior to the United States and cannot tear up the system can only passively accept it and let the economic lifeline be controlled by the United States."

"As long as the United States turns on the money printing press, the people of the world who have been kidnapped have to work for it. In other words, to make the world work for the Federal Reserve, the dollar printing machine. ”

Magneto couldn't help but interject and said, "Wait, what are you talking about, what does this have to do with us mutants?" ”

"Well, that's why you people are rigid in their thinking." "The total amount of gold mined in the world's history is only 140,000 tons, and when melted into liquid, it can fill three 50-meter-sized swimming pools.

The current world's monetary system is still based on gold savings, and if Magneto were to go all out and put several gold statues of the Statue of Liberty in the capitals of several countries, the next day the world would have an unprecedented economic crisis.

Countless dollars of money saved by families have become waste paper, savings over the years have been lost, countless bankrupt enterprises have gone bankrupt, unemployed people have blocked the streets and alleys of cities, and capitalists who have to go to the rooftops to end their lives even have to queue up.

In order to continue to maintain their transcendent status, the angry and corrupt capitalists are bound to set off local wars, and the whole world is dragged into the abyss of war. ”

The mutants present had never personally experienced such a tragic economic crisis, but when they heard Li Ang's narrative without a trace of emotion, a layer of white sweat inexplicably rose on their backs.

"You have the dragon slaying technique but you don't know how to use it, but you were forced to flee in a hurry by those federal violent agencies with big cats and small cats, and you can't live in fear, you are really ashamed of this gift from God." Leon shook his head and sighed: "How simple it is to improve the social status of mutants, as long as Mr. Magneto sends a video of himself moving the entire gold mine from the bottom of the sea to the White House, and keeps those capitalist doglegs to die down and honestly abandon the policy of persecution of mutants." ”

Magneto was dumbfounded, looking at his mediocre palm, not knowing what to say.

"There are endless ways to improve the social status of mutants, as long as you dare to think and dare to do it, you can teach those capitalists to be human beings in minutes," Leon walked in front of Magneto, patted him on the shoulder peacefully, and said: "It's too lo to move an iron bridge or a stadium to smash people, now, let's do a big deal." ”
