Frank's innocent words made Tony stunned, and then he couldn't help laughing.

Others don’t know how much the amount of this fund is, but he knows it clearly. If we want the United States to regain its vitality, at least, it must be able to double the US dollar reserves in its peak period. This number is not small, and it requires almost ten trillion US dollars. Many people may not understand what the concept of ten trillion US dollars is.

Let me put it this way, take the past 2016 as an example. At that time, when the United States was the world hegemon, the world adopted a gold standard dominated by the US dollar. At that time, China, as the country with the most foreign exchange reserves, had about 3 trillion US dollars in reserves, followed by Japan, with 1200 billion US dollars in reserves. This number was ranked at about 30th, Denmark, and 64 billion foreign exchange reserves, so that it could barely save up the 10 trillion figure. Tony wanted to get so much money, it was almost equivalent to double the foreign exchange wealth of the whole world.

Of course, this is also an exaggeration. After all, the US dollar today cannot be compared with the US dollar at that time. But even if it cuts half of this value, the rest is still a burden that Tony can't bear.

You know, the company with the highest market value in the United States is probably the Osborne Group, which has swallowed General Electric and Mobil. Even so, Osborne's market value is estimated to be less than one trillion US dollars. One trillion. Even if it is included in Stark Group and Nanoneuron Company, plus all the large companies in the United States now stand on his side, at most they can only make up three trillion less than four trillion. The remaining more than one trillion is still a bottomless pit that cannot be filled. Even if Tony is killed, it is absolutely impossible to take out so much money.

And, before, the previous estimate is just an estimate. From a practical point of view, this is simply an impossible thing. Even in the alliance, Osborne could not work hard to support him to such a level, let alone other existences that collude with him only for the sake of interests.

Therefore, the deep pit in front of him is far more than one trillion yuan, but twenty thousand, thirty thousand, even forty thousand or fifty thousand. It is an astronomical figure that he may not be able to produce in his entire life.

With Frank's intelligence, Tony didn't believe that he would not know what the number was, and he dared to say such words at this time. The only thing Tony dared to think was that this son spoke a romantic and innocent word belonging to the child in order to comfort himself.

This is a good thing, he thought so. So he immediately said to Frank with a smile.

"Okay, my guy. Tell me what you think, let me see what you are going to do to help me overcome this difficult situation?"

"First of all, I need one thing, Dad. What is the funds you need? Is it something that can be actually linked to currency, or is it just a synonym for the value of currency?"

Frank asked seriously, and Tony thought about his question for a moment and opened his mouth.

"If I can really get something, I would rather have a substantial existence. Resources are the best choice because they are stable. If it is just the currency itself, seriously, I am worried that my enemies will destroy all my actions by hitting the currency as I accumulate."

"So that is to say, Dad, what you want is a substantial product that can be directly linked to currency. Are there any other special requirements?"

"Of course, man. If it's the metal minerals needed for oil and various types of manufacturing, it's better not to have too much. How do you say that, what we lack is not resources, but space to allow capital to flow and market operation. If possible, I would rather have enough money to consume resources in our market, rather than pile up a lot of resources in the warehouse. Do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand, Dad. What you mean is that we don't be that resource exporting country, but that resource consumption country. We will revitalize the market by consuming resources, and drive the rapid development of the entire US economy through market activation and upgrading. So what we need is not resources, but luxury goods such as gold, silver and gems that can be directly converted into currency. Is this the meaning correct?"

"That's right, that's right. That's what it means. If you can dig out a few gold mountains for me, it's the best. Of course, if it's a diamond mine, a gem mine, or something, I can accept it too!"

Tony said this with a joke, and he didn't think Frank could do such a thing from the bottom of his heart. But soon, when he heard Frank's answer, the smile on his face unknowingly restrained. Because Frank said so at this time.

"This is not a problem, Dad. I already have the idea of ​​solving it."

"For your problem, Dad, what you need now is a huge amount of resources that can be directly converted into currency. This resource does not represent a super film, because even if you mobilize the power of the entire country to print money, as long as your currency value is not recognized internationally, you will not be able to achieve your goal. The gold standard status of the United States has been lost, and the US dollar can no longer be the main currency of international transactions as it used to be. Therefore, the trick of printing money cannot work."

"If it is not a banknote, then it can only be other hard currency. Among them, as Dad said, gold, silver and the like are the most stable hard currency. Especially gold, because of the frequent disasters in the world recently, the status of gold is not only not falling, but is slowly rising. Therefore, if we use gold as a means to change our current situation, it is definitely the best way."

"I know what Dad, you are worried about. The current gold reserves in the United States are not enough to solve the current problem. Compared with the gap we need, these gold is just a drop in the bucket. But Dad, what I want to tell you is that this is not a problem at all. Because I know a technology that can help us solve this problem. That is Ultron's nano-level micro-transformation technology, which can help us make gold."

Nanotechnology, this technology was first introduced to Tony, and finally fell into Ultron, becoming his secret skill. Even with Tony's talent and intelligence, it has to be admitted that Ultron has indeed carried forward this technology, and even developed to the extreme.

However, even though he had such an understanding in his heart, he still could not have imagined that since Ultron could already achieve this level of production of gold, the elemental substance of this chemical element gold existed. This almost means that he already had the ability to use nanotechnology to create something out of thin air.

Is this possible? If someone else said such a sentence, Tony would definitely sneer in his heart, and then directly slapped him in front of him to let him wake up. But if his son said this, he would not have even a little suspicion.

This is because the son he gave birth to himself knew that although this little guy was extremely intelligent and talented, he had not yet reached the point of lying to his parents casually. Secondly, it is because he knew very well that his son might have an indescribable connection with Ultron, and his understanding of Ultron must be far beyond his own. So, when he said this, it would probably be a certain fact.

Although he had already known this, if he really believed that this was the truth, Tony could not help but be amazed in his heart. In order to get a positive answer, he even asked Frank eagerly.

"Man, are you sure what you said to me is true? Are you sure you didn't talk nonsense to me? Please, this matter is very important, it's really not something you can say casually."

Frank could understand Tony's current mood, so he did not have any opinions on the change in Tony's attitude. As a son, he took this for granted, and the same was true for his answer.

"I'm sure, dad. Although Ultron has never done such a thing, based on the technology in his hands and my personal calculations, this is completely possible. Using the closest elements to transform the atomic structure, we only need to experiment a few times and we can get gold through the sand."

The affirmative reply made Tony's heart tremble. While trembling like this, he couldn't help but calculate it in his heart. The recent international gold price is about one ounce and one thousand three hundred dollars. Judging from the depreciation rate of the US dollar and the increase in gold, it is likely that this number will rise to one thousand four hundred, or even one thousand five hundred. If calculated in this way, without drastic changes in the international gold price, he needs to create more than three billion ounces of gold to meet his plan to revive the country.

More than 3 billion ounces, this is almost more than 90,000 tons of gold. Although this number is a bit inconspicuous when converted into tons, compared with other data, this is simply an astronomical number. First of all, you need to know how much gold was there when the United States was at its peak. This number is more than 8,000 tons, firmly occupying the world's first place.

Secondly, you need to know how much gold has been mined on this earth. The current statistics are 160,000 tons, which means that if the Stark administration dares to make gold with such a big deal, the United States will have more than one-third of the world's gold reserves.
