Chapter 9: The Chaotic World and the Ultimate Essence
Gold, a type of gold that is known to be of small reserves on the earth, is used as a precious metal and even as a basis for currency issuance. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Gold on this planet, except for a small part of it used for scientific research and industrial production, its greatest role has always appeared in front of the world as a hard currency. More importantly, the whole world, with the exception of the United States, issued credit money on the gold standard -- the United States, at the end of the last century, tied its currency to oil with its own fist.
In front of hundreds of millions of people, Bangxing Technology live-streamed a gold artificial manufacturing site - real manufacturing out of thin air, without using any raw materials.
So, can the identity of gold as a hard currency still be maintained?
Who can prove that one day in the future, the gold you store is naturally generated by nature or artificially made by Bangxing Technology?
Although Bangxing Technology has not said whether it will produce gold on a large scale in the future, who can deny whether this will happen?
Historically, some countries have used diamonds as a reserve of value for their currency, but then artificial diamonds appeared, and now, which country dares to use diamonds as a hard currency?
So, just after the end of the product launch of Bangxing Technology, the price of gold fell in response to the gold exchange in London - and it was the kind of fall that had no hope of rising at all when it first fell. In less than two hours, the price of gold was like a release of water, and the price was almost cut in half. The performance of the subsequent opening of the US gold futures market was even more exaggerated: only gold was short in the entire market, and there was not even one long at all.
In desperation, the United Kingdom was forced to temporarily suspend the operation of the gold trading market, and the United States also announced the suspension of gold futures trading for one day. They should be very glad that the product launch of Bangxing Technology was held on Friday, and although the trading market was said to be suspended for one day, it would actually be suspended for three days - Saturday and Sunday are not open.
After encountering such a situation, the major gold reserve countries were forced to urgently convene a high-level meeting. After all, it is an open secret that all countries on the earth are still basically on the gold standard, and each country has stored different amounts of gold in order to preserve the value of its currency. The more gold a country stores, the more trust it has in its currency – again, the United States. But even with the bundled sale of oil and energy in its own hands, the United States still has the largest gold reserves on the entire planet, and in this case, the United States will not be able to make it easier.
To this end, the five hooligans of the United Nations urgently convened a telephone and video conference. The final decision was that the Huaxia government would come forward to negotiate and negotiate with Bangxing Technology, so that the big financial order of the gold standard would not collapse violently, at least not in an instant before the new international hard currency was directly determined by various countries -- after all, Huaxia itself was also on the gold standard.
Gold, as a hard currency, is now suffering from a crisis of confidence is no longer a private matter of a certain person or a certain country, but a matter of all countries on the entire earth, so Huaxia, as one of the five hooligans, cannot shirk this matter, and promised to negotiate with Bangxing Technology in the shortest possible time, and the results of the negotiation will be announced to the world at that time. Once the system of the gold standard collapses, it will be a nightmare for the whole world, and no one wants to see this happen.
..................................................
As early as after the press conference, Lou Jiaming and Han Jiangping, who were familiar with finance, had already talked to Qiu Yan about the possible consequences of Secretary Cao's small experiment. In the following hours, despite the fact that it was already night, Lou Jiaming, Han Jiangping and Qiu Yan still insisted on observing the reactions of the world's major gold trading markets and futures markets. The next thing completely verified the prediction made by Lou Jiaming, who is a financial scholar. The gold price that was cut in half, the gold futures market that no one took over, and the two major markets that were temporarily shut down by emergency have confirmed Lou Jiaming's correct judgment again and again.
So when Qiu Yan's phone rang and a secretary who claimed to be Premier Zhu informed Qiu Yan that the premier would come to Jiangzhou in person tomorrow morning to discuss the mass production of gold with Bangxing Technology, Qiu Yan didn't even feel the slightest surprise in her heart -- Lou Jiaming's prediction was over at this point. However, Qiu Yan feels that he has nothing to say about this issue, after all, there is only one person who has actually mastered this technology, Jiang You, and Qiu Yan himself is still in the foundation stage. Looking at the time, it was close to ten o'clock, so Qiu Yan decided to go home first. Anyway, I don't have that ability, so why do I have to that idleness?
Pushing open the door, her familiar figure was sitting on the sofa looking at her. Then there was applause, "Good performance, girl, your performance on stage today is really quite good." Welcome home to the owner of Bangxing Technology. ”
The autumn goose pouted. "Brother-in-law, why do you have to let me come forward? Wouldn't it be better if you did these things yourself? You see, I still only know what it is, but I don't know why, and I can only understand a little bit of what you take out. ”
Jiang You said with a smile, "Girl, how much time do you think I'll have to worry about this mess on earth?" Just like you said today, our goal is the sea of stars, the endless universe. You see, you can't help me in this area of development now, so isn't it natural for you to help me in this regard? ”
Qiu Yan, who had changed her slippers, came to the edge of the sofa and leaned on Jiang You's shoulder like a kitten. "But brother-in-law, I'm really stressed. Do you know who is dealing with me today? First of all, the secretary of Jiangzhou City at the press conference, and when I returned to the company, I received a call from the secretary of the prime minister. For me, these people used to be big names that could only be seen on TV, and now that you're making me deal with them, I'm really afraid that I can't do it well. ”
Jiang You patted her little hand and comforted her softly, "What's there to worry about?" Girl, you have to remember that in the future, only others will ask for your share, and no one can force you to do what you don't want to do. Big shots, what is big shots? For us, there is simply no one on the planet who can afford to be a big man. And think about it, is there any place where we need to ask for them? No. We want resources and resources, and we want technology and technology, even if it is the threat of force, it means nothing to us. For us, a mushroom bomb is no different from a safety firecracker. Under such a premise, what do you have to worry about? ”
Qiu Yan nodded, it is true that what Jiang Lobby said is the truth. Although she really doesn't have much self-protection ability now, Jiang You is very concerned about her safety. Not only did she have an energy shield generator made by Jiang You himself, but she also had a complete set of soul preservation upload equipment, which was worn on her left index finger. "By the way, brother-in-law, guess what happened when the prime minister's secretary called?" A little mischievous thought rose up in her.
"What else can they think, they just want us not to go to mass production of gold." Jiang You spread his hands and replied very shamefully.
The autumn goose pouted. "Brother-in-law, you're really boring, can't you pretend you can't guess once?" She couldn't help but hammer Jiang You's shoulder.
Jiang You enjoyed this rare massage, well, the strength was quite good. "Is this still a guess? Anyone can think of it. Now that the financial environment of the entire earth is on the gold standard, all of a sudden there is a force that can mass-produce gold out of thin air, isn't it equivalent to choking their necks in an instant, who wants the development of their own power to be choked by someone? ”
"And how shall I answer them tomorrow?" Autumn geese changed from thrashing to massage.
"Just let them come over. I think it's better to tell them about some things. "It's rare, Jiang You is serious once." Bring this with you tomorrow, a small locator that can last three minutes per start. If they are allowed to drive over, it will be time for the family to jump again. ”
"Isn't that about the time we're going to expose another super-tech?" Qiu Yan was surprised.
"It doesn't matter if it's a little thing, it doesn't matter if it's exposed or not. Sometimes, it's more intimidating to have someone else see some of your cards at the table. Jiang You said. Besides, what kind of super technology is this? The farthest transmission distance is no more than ten light seconds, and the maximum transmission mass is not more than 1,000 tons. If you have a 3D coordinate locator, it's barely good, but now you need to carry it to the location you need to teleport by yourself, what can you do? ”
Qiu Yan was a little hesitant. "Brother-in-law, are you hiding something from me?" She asked anyway.
"Ha, girl, you're quite sensitive. But you did guess right, I have some ideas, but I don't know if it's possible to implement them. Jiang You touched her head and replied. I'd like to be able to participate in an expedition to the Abyss Phenomenon in person, but I haven't submitted an application to the Empire yet, and even if I do, I don't know if I'll get permission. The Abyss Phenomenon is a sword of Dalimus hanging over the heads of all ordered worlds, and no one knows when and in what state it will appear. ”
"As long as the civilization of the ordered world is not extinguished, the threat of the abyssal phenomenon will always exist. Now, however, we are ignorant of the abyssal phenomenon. As for the abyss phenomenon, I have only seen its description in the historical records of the empire, but I have not personally experienced it, so how can I understand the confrontation? Now that I am fortunate enough to come into contact with the existence of the Empire, there is a very high probability that our world will develop into a cosmic-level civilization. And any advanced civilization eventually has a common enemy, and that is the abyss phenomenon. Anyway, they are already destined to be enemies, so isn't it natural to understand the enemy as much as possible? ”
With Qiu Yan's small head, of course, it is impossible to imagine what the common enemy of all advanced civilizations is. "Brother-in-law, you've been talking about the abyss phenomenon, so what exactly is the abyss phenomenon?"
Jiang You rubbed her hair and asked her, "Do you think, with a super civilization like the Empire, why has it been working hard to maintain the order of the world, why do they treat mortals so well?" After all, from our point of view, if they were human, we would be no different from a paramecium. If we were to stand in their place, would we treat mortal civilization like this? Girl, have you thought about this reason? ”
Qiu Yan was instantly stunned, and she couldn't do anything but shake her head.
"Girl, do you remember the model of the Void and the principle of the Void Cataclysm that I explained to you last time?"
Nodding, with horror on his face, he still didn't speak.
"Have you ever wondered what kind of process the Void Cataclysm is? How did it come about? Actually, then again, it's all very simple. Every singularity explosion will give birth to a universe, but along with the birth of this universe, there is also the same energy, which is enough to destroy this universe. The essence of the void is always zero, and we see the birth of a universe as a 1, so in terms of the essence of the void, since there is a 1, there will naturally be a -1 existence. ”
"1 is the normal universe, and -1 is the abyss. There are as many normal universes as there are abyssal energies that can destroy the universe. So now the question arises, will the Empire be able to master all the universes? It is clear that that is not possible. But wouldn't the abyssal energies corresponding to those universes that the empire did not grasp come to destroy the universe of the regions controlled by the empire? Again, the answer is no. What is the Abyss? It is not anything definite, but a process, a collection of phenomena that occur in the process of returning something on the void ladder from a non-zero state to zero, and the phenomena of 'destruction' and 'destruction' that arise in this process are secondary phenomena, a part of the abyss and not an essence. The phenomenon of the abyss, which represents "the mad destruction and destruction of consciousness that destroys everything, including itself". The Void Cataclysm is nothing more than a collection of large-scale outbreaks of the Abyss Phenomenon. ”
"Now the problem arises, the Empire cannot control all the universes, but it is threatened by the abyssal phenomena that come from the universe that is not controlled by the Empire. In this case, how would you consider it if you were to stand in the position of the Empire? ”
Qiu Yan finally reacted. "So, the Empire treats us mortals very kindly, not only sheltering us mortals, but also teaching us how to develop into a high-ranking civilization? After we become a high-ranking civilization, even if we can't fight the abyss alone, we can become a help for the empire to fight the abyss, right? ”
Jiang You snapped his fingers. The answer is correct, but there is no reward. So now you know what I mean, right? When the abyss phenomenon will appear, we can't predict it at all, maybe it won't appear until our universe is naturally extinguished, maybe it will appear in front of us in the next second, who knows? But isn't it because we can't predict when it will appear, that we don't prepare? So, if I can have a certain amount of combat effectiveness, I naturally have to apply to the Empire to join the expedition against the abyss phenomenon, even if it is to go to the battlefield to take a look, it is also something I must do. ”
"Okay brother-in-law, although I am not capable now, and I can't help you in battle, and I am not qualified to join the battle with you, but I will definitely do my best to help my brother-in-law master your family." Qiu Yan waved her clenched little fist vigorously.
