Zhou Meiren said: "I still have this little confidence. Gold ore and chalcopyrite are different." "If you really have this confidence, then look at this piece of ore." As he said that, Han Kongque took out a piece of yellow ore. Passed it to Zhou Meiren. "Really testing me? This piece is definitely not gold ore, but I still have some confidence." Zhou Meiren gave Han Peacock a charming look. ?? Han Peacock smiled and said nothing. Zhou Meiren took the ore and looked at it carefully. "Huh? Is it really pyrite?" Zhou Meiren clearly saw that Han Peacock picked it out from a pile of gold ore, so why was it mixed with chalcopyrite? Han Kongque said with a smile: "It's nothing strange. There is an iron ore vein not far away." "It's really fool's gold. I've heard of it before, but this is the first time I've seen it." Zhou Meiren said with a smile. It is very easy to misidentify chalcopyrite, pyrite and natural gold ore, especially pyrite, which is also known as "fool's gold". The method to identify them is actually very simple. Chalcopyrite is distinguished from pyrite by its more yellow color and lower hardness. It is distinguished from natural metal by its green-black streaks, brittleness and soluble in 3. Use the ore to scratch on the unglazed white porcelain plate. The streaks made by the natural gold ore, that is, the powder left on the white porcelain plate, are golden yellow, and the streaks of pyrite are green and black. In addition, you can also weigh it with your hands. The natural gold ore feels particularly heavy because its density is much greater than that of pyrite and chalcopyrite. "These ore specimens are very good. As long as they are collected, they can be used for publicity." Zhou Meiren immediately thought of the use of these ores. Han Peacock nodded and said: "Last time, I found a lot of ore specimens in the waters of Hawaii. After I returned to the United States, I built a mineral museum there. I didn't expect to find so many natural gold ores here. It seems that domestic ores The museum is about to open. " "There is a lot of natural gold here. If you choose it carefully, it would be good to build a gold mine specimen museum, or directly build a gold jewelry flagship store to exclusively display these gold nuggets. You must know that the Chinese are very I like gold nuggets." Zhou Meiren was obviously thinking more long-term than Han Peacock. When Han Peacock heard this proposal, he immediately laughed. Compared with Zhou Meiren, Han Peacock didn't look like a businessman. ?? Han Peacock picked up a piece of ore casually. The golden ore had pits and pits, and it looked like a face covered with pockmarks. "This is spongy natural gold, a very common type of natural gold." Zhou Meiren said. Han Peacock nodded. This rough stone has a large amount of sponge-like natural gold, arranged together with a small part of quartz. If these quartz and limonite were not attached to one side, this would be pure natural gold. Among them are some larger, shiny natural gold. These slightly rough crystalline nuggets are distributed on the entire ore. They don¡¯t look very beautiful, but they are definitely golden. "It's not as beautiful as this one." Han Peacock said as he picked up another piece of ore. "This is a piece of natural gold composed of beautiful matrix-free gold crystals. During its formation, the gold crystals are bent and twisted, like a sculpture, which is naturally very beautiful." Zhou Meiren said. Seeing Han Peacock picking at the side, Zhou Meiren continued: "The sponge-like gold ore just now can be displayed as a typical specimen of natural gold, and the natural gold made of gold crystals just now are all It is not easy to find such natural gold in the wild. "Finding some natural gold with typical characteristics will definitely shock people's attention." Han Peacock said with a smile. This world is a world of appearance. Everyone likes beautiful things, so gold ore is no exception. "Look at this, isn't it beautiful?" Han Peacock picked up a piece of gold ore again and said. This is a piece of natural gold formed in a flake shape. The surface is covered with microcrystalline holes. It is very beautiful when magnified. Zhou Meiren shook her head and said: "This is not the most beautiful. The most beautiful gold ore should be natural gold with rounded edges worn by alluvial layers. Look at this piece, the edges are very smooth and have a metallic texture. "Isn't it very beautiful?" "There are two pieces of natural gold in Zhou Meiren's hands. They are natural gold with metallic luster. The edges have been slightly rounded due to alluvial action. One piece is like a goose egg, and the other is like a water drop. They are both very beautiful. . Next, Zhou Meiren selected a lot of natural gold, including natural gold that looks like a rockery, natural gold that is associated with quartz, and natural gold that is carved from calcite. There is also a piece of natural gold that is 40 centimeters long, elongated and fan-shaped, with feather-shaped natural gold crystals and residual quartz attached near the bottom. AndThe few pieces Peacock found were also good, including a very plump piece of natural gold arranged in the shape of leaves, and a piece of natural gold nugget shaped like a horn that had been impacted by water. These beautiful natural gold crystals form an intertwined chain-like aggregate. The original large crystals of natural gold have a beautiful sharp luster. When observing this feature under a magnifying glass, it looks particularly amazing. Pieces of nature Gold was discovered and collected by Han Kongque and Zhou Meiren. Among these natural golds, there are all kinds. Natural gold with a massive crystal structure in parallel directions, very shiny natural gold with a small amount of milky white quartz locally, water-worn or snail-shaped original natural gold ore. And more of them are gold ore with shiny small spots of natural gold on the gray bedrock. Of course, there are also some strange shapes of natural gold, such as flat gold crystals with metallic luster, which form tree-like natural gold crystals with purple quartz at the central spine. If the size is not taken into consideration, this is the legendary golden tree. Others include funnel-shaped and coral-shaped natural gold. Natural gold can be in the form of dendrites, granules, flakes, lumps, etc. Here, the natural gold discovered by Han Kongque and Zhou Meiren is not very big. Of course, if the several-ton boulder we saw earlier counts, then that piece of gold ore is a giant. "However, that piece of natural gold ore is only dotted with granular natural gold of various sizes like stars. Therefore, although it is large, it cannot be regarded as qualified natural gold. The heaviest piece of natural gold found by Han Peacock contains a large amount of gold does not exceed one hundred kilograms. In other places, more than 200 kilograms of natural gold have been discovered. The gold ores discovered now should all belong to mountain gold. Of course, there is no shortage of vein gold and alluvial gold here. ??Natural gold produced in primary mineral deposits is commonly known as mountain gold, natural gold produced in mineral deposits mixed with other minerals or rocks is called vein gold, and gold produced in placer mines is called alluvial gold. Compared with nugget gold, Han Peacock actually does not value alluvial gold. Alluvial gold is ordinary gold. Its most useful function is to make gold bars for storage or make gold jewelry for sale. For the current Han Peacock, exchanging gold for some useless pieces of paper is putting the cart before the horse. Instead of exchanging some useless money, or simply turning it into numbers and storing it in the bank, then Han Peacock might as well exchange gold for some Supplies, or simply keeping some gold reserves can be useful. Now Han Peacock is reversing the course of history. He is turning the original credit currency into physical currency again, which is the gold standard currency. The coins currently used in the entire Peacock Island waters are gold coins discovered from gold reserves. Although gold coins are also a kind of banknotes, these banknotes can be directly exchanged for gold from the banks on Peacock Island. In this way, this is real currency, not waste paper issued arbitrarily by other countries. Of course, calling it waste paper seems a bit excessive, but as long as you know that the currency issued by some countries can only be used in your own country, after going abroad, it becomes real waste paper, and you will know that what Han Peacock said is not unreasonable. . If it weren¡¯t for this, China wouldn¡¯t have spent so much money to turn the RMB into an international currency that could be directly used as a settlement currency for international transactions. What does it mean? This means that in the future, the paper printed by the Chinese can be used directly to purchase foreign materials, such as ores, luxury goods, food, etc. It turns out that this is how Americans play, and now, our country is finished like this. Therefore, credit currency is equivalent to waste paper if others do not agree with it. ??And Han Peacock does not have the strength to be recognized by others, nor does he have the reputation, so he can only use gold standard currency to promote his Peacock Gold Coin policy. Don¡¯t think that Han Peacock is doing a thankless job. He seems to be making simple things more complicated. In fact, they are all without benefit and cannot be done early. Because everyone knows that the more banknotes are issued, the more profitable it is, because you can issue more banknotes. Of course, this is based on a certain gold reserve. Otherwise, if you issue more currency, if you face a run on the crowd, then you will directly credit bankrupted. The reason why Han Peacock dares to use the gold standard to issue currency is because he has a lot of gold in his hands, and a large part of it is the harvest of Han Peacock¡¯s treasure hunt, and part of it is supported by the technological strength of Peacock Island. You must know that the Korean Peacock controls a large area of ????the sea, and what is the most abundant in the sea? It is a mineral, so there is gold in the sea water, but it is very troublesome to refine it. There is also natural gold in seawater, about 10 microns per ton?? around. Natural gold is mainly produced in gold-bearing stone veins originating from high- and medium-temperature hydrothermal fluids, or in medium- and low-temperature hydrothermal deposits related to volcanic rock systems and volcanic hydrothermal processes. Because its shape and appearance are very unusual, it has also aroused the interest of scientists. Researchers from the Devil's Island Institute of Biology, a subsidiary of Han Kongque, conducted experimental research on the microbial mineralization mechanism of "Noghead Gold". After they isolated bacteria and mold from the water and soil samples of the gold mine, they found that these microorganisms were good at adsorbing and accumulating soluble gold in the body to form a colloid in the early and middle stages of growth. The colloidal gold complex ions are reduced and precipitated into natural gold. To be continued.
