Cosma Empire

With much anticipation, three days later, Cable TV Channel 1 broadcast the second episode of the "Into the Wild" documentary "The Kingdom of Gold".

Compared with the original, barbaric and shocking social and ecological environment in the entire Western Continent's Eagle Mouth region in the previous episode, this episode is more exciting.

Because the content of this episode is very suitable for the subtitle of this episode, the Kingdom of Gold.

About seven or eight years ago, the price of gold was about four yuan per gram, but now, the price of gold per gram has risen to seven or eighty cents, and the price of gold in the non-ferrous metal market is also steadily increasing, almost without obvious of fall.

People can see that with the advancement of time and the development of society, the price of gold is very likely to exceed 10 yuan per gram, and there is nothing more valuable than gold.

Currency stored in banks may depreciate, but gold seems to be difficult to depreciate.

The hostess on location in the TV screen has changed into a suit more suitable for action in the tropical jungle, and there are more soldiers around her than last time.

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

Among the numerous aborigines in the Eagle's Mouth area, there are tribes like the Luluhaduo that have formed a micro-society, and there are also "family organizations" that live in the jungle and wilderness according to blood relationship.

In addition, the war in the Eagle's Mouth area has not stopped recently, and the film crew has also hired enough soldiers to protect their personal safety.

Following the shaky picture, an ancient altar full of historical traces and moss appeared somewhere in the jungle.

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

"We found this deserted altar based on some accounts of the local aborigines."

"In their culture, they believed in and revered a terrible demon king who fell into sleep for a certain period of time, and once he woke up, he would destroy the world."

When she said this, the hostess couldn't help showing a smile. As we all know, the world was created by God, even if there were demon gods, they were suppressed by God.

Many people in the audience in front of the TV smiled knowingly and scoffed at this statement, especially those believers who are religious.

"In the local culture, the aborigines believe that if the devil does not eat for a long time, he will wake up for a short time because of hunger, which will bring plagues and terrible disasters to the world. Therefore, the second rainy day or the last day of each season will perform sacrifices."

"From what we have learned so far, they will use the blood of beasts to irrigate an altar like this, and let the blood of the beast fill the entire groove at the bottom of the altar..."

In the picture, the hostess squatted down in front of the camera, and knocked some floating soil and moss away with a branch, exposing part of the altar under the soil, some of which were dark brown in color, compared with the surrounding dark green moss, etc. The color is darker.

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

"In the past people did not understand the reasons for the birth of natural disasters,

So they attribute the disasters they cannot understand to some kind of existence they cannot understand, and in this way seek spiritual comfort. "

"In the religious ceremonies here, the aborigines, like most primitive sects, are extremely devout to the gods they believe in, so they will use gold as a vessel to provide blood food as a sacrifice..."

The female reporter threw away the branch and took a multifunctional shovel from the entourage. She scraped off the floating soil on the altar, revealing the main structure like a stone.

"It looks like it's just a huge rock, but in fact it's...hold it for me..." The female reporter handed the microphone to the others, then brandished the shovel in her hand and slammed it on the altar .

The crisp sound was not the sound made by the stone, and the picture suddenly advanced a lot, so that a gap on the altar was clearly visible. People in front of the TV unexpectedly discovered that in that inconspicuous gap, hidden A very heart-warming bright color!

It is a little more bluish white than the shining color of gold, but it doesn't look 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 even more keenly aware of something.

The female reporter hacked and shoveled and chiselled a few more times, exposing more golden gaps in the altar, and then took back the microphone, "It is very common to use precious metals, especially silver and gold, as sacrificial utensils. Although many civilizations have such a practice so far, our scientists still cannot explain why people used gold uniformly without agreement in the closed social environment that lacked communication in the past and silver as vessels."

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

She seemed to be able to sense the enthusiasm and excitement of the audience when this episode was played. After a slight pause, she continued, "But they are not pure gold. Under the premise of lacking equipment and more advanced smelting technology in the past, They were able to turn gold ore into gold plates like this is very rare."

"According to the tests of our entourage, its purity is about 40% to 60%, and there are some other associated metal elements mixed in, but I believe that if it is refined again, it must be A lot of high-purity gold can be obtained.”

"In the primitive ecological society near the Eagle's Mouth, similar altars are found in almost all places. Some altars have been abandoned due to the extinction or migration 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 Mouth region, the altars they use for sacrifices are made entirely of gold!"

"In the Eagle's Mouth area, there are very many and rich open-pit gold deposits. The low-risk open-pit mining allows the indigenous people to obtain a large amount of gold products. For them, gold is more like a hard currency that can be seen everywhere..."

The main purpose of this program is to introduce the civilization and history of the Eagle's Mouth area. Just mentioning gold or something casually, the content of the TV soon began to change, and an indigenous boy who looked about sixteen, seventeen, or eighteen years old appeared on the screen.

"This is Chief Luluhaduo's youngest son. We all know that Chief Luluhaduo has great awe and longing for civilization, and he is also the first chief to go out from the Eagle's Mouth area."

"When he knew that we were going to record a program related to local culture and history, he offered to ask his youngest son, who can speak lingua franca, to help us answer some questions."

Afterwards, the two chatted about ten kinds of culture and traditions about the Eagle's Mouth area. In the end, the host curiously asked a question beyond the scope of the script.

"I noticed that almost every tribe of yours has its own altar to worship the sleeping demon god, so what is the name of this demon god, or are there any legends about him?"

Luluhaduo's youngest son, Ah Ge Harry, explained in a somewhat jerky lingua franca, "According to our legends, this great demon god brought destruction as well as new life. He is the origin of all things. , and the end of all things.”

"One awakening and one deep sleep are the end of a period of time..., in the past, our ancestors called him the 'Eternal Immortal Emperor of Dragons'..."

The female reporter nodded and said with a smile, "Undead Dragon Emperor? This is a very..." Her expression made the audience laugh, hiding a hint of sarcasm, "Very prestigious 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 of the program are very high, and even in the display cabinets of some shopping malls that sell TV sets, they are constantly rebroadcasting.

The well-fed and well-fed residents of the empire are no longer satisfied with simple spiritual enjoyment and pursuit. Supplemented by media reports, people are paying more and more attention to and interested in some international news.

On the second day after the broadcast, when the entire society was curious about the barbarism and culture of the Eagle's Mouth region, the Imperial Cabinet suddenly announced that the IFTO meeting would be held as scheduled.

At the same time, some gossip has also been spread. It is said that the International Finance and Trade Organization will issue a brand new international currency, and all member countries will conduct international trade settlements with the star dollar and the international currency named "Union Currency".

In order to stabilize the exchange rate of the alliance currency and not increase the issuance due to some uncontrollable man-made reasons, and accelerate inflation, the Ministry of Foreign Trade, Ministry of Defense, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cabinet of the Empire believe that the newly issued alliance currency will be linked to gold.

IFTO will set up an internal disciplinary department to conduct strict inspections and audits of the union currency issuance work and gold reserves of member countries twice a year.

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

The price of gold in the non-ferrous metals sector of the three major banks soared by 6% after the opening bell, and there is a further upward trend.

People may not understand what happened behind all this, but they know very well that gold is getting more and more expensive.

And, on the other side of the strait, there is a barbaric, primitive, gold-filled area where wars are taking place!

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