Chen Mo briefly explored the space, and it was similar to what he had sensed before.
It is two kilometers long from north to south and about one kilometer wide from east to west. There is a small lake in the far south, and water continues to seep out along the creek, and finally seeps into the ground.
The edge of the space is a hazy translucent barrier, and there seems to be a void outside the barrier. But a breeze blows through the barrier, and the lake surface sparkles...
As for the 'gold', Chen Mo only found it in the lower reaches of the stream. But in the upper reaches, there was no...
Chen Mo didn't know how gold was formed. He didn't know where the gold in space came from. He wasn't a particularly curious person. But now, what Chen Mo wanted to know most was... the sparkling gold in the creek.
Whether the thing is gold or not.
After working in the space for a long time, Chen Mo suddenly thought of a question, how to get out?
As soon as the idea of going out came to mind, the world in front of Chen Mo suddenly became dark. When he opened his eyes again, he was already in the room.
It was very late. Chen Mo picked up his phone and looked at it before getting ready to go to bed: "Why is it only half past nine?"
Chen Mo was startled for a moment and quickly turned on the computer. It was indeed nine-thirty. But he clearly got off work at nine-ten, and it took at least ten minutes to get from the mining area to the rental house. And he had been in the space for at least one and a half just now.
Hour……
Chen Mo calculated the time based on his own walking distance. It took about half an hour to walk from one end of the space to the other, two kilometers. Because there were no roads and the weeds by the stream were very deep, it would take even longer. Again.
Went into the forest, looked at the barrier again, and then went back to look for gold mines...it would only take one and a half hours, but it would only be more or less.
"Uh, where did the black iron plate go?" Chen Mo only paid attention to the time and forgot about the iron plate.
I remember that before entering the space, I had the iron plate in my hand. But after entering the space, there was no iron plate in my hand...
"Calm down, calm down!" Chen Mo quickly searched the room. If his consciousness hadn't been able to sense the space, Chen Mo would have thought he was in trouble.
"Enter." The world in his eyes was dark. When he opened his eyes again, Chen Mo entered the space again and stood where he just left.
Chen Mo went in and out, came out and entered in this way more than ten times, and then carefully searched for the iron sign in the room, but couldn't find it.
"It doesn't matter whether there is an iron plate or not. That space seems to be bound to myself." In order to verify this idea, Chen Mo even left the room and tried again. Just as Chen Mo thought, the space and himself were still bound to each other.
Together.
The time flow rate in space is different from that in the outside world, about 10 to 1. For 10 minutes in space, only 1 minute has passed outside...
In this way, Chen Mo lost his sleepiness and entered the space with an iron plate and a large plate to pan for gold. The density of gold is 19.32 grams per cubic centimeter, which is 19.32, while the density of water is only 1. With the same volume, the weight of pure gold is water.
19.32 times...Similarly, the weight of gold is much heavier than sand and stones...
For a while, he couldn't find gold panning equipment, so Chen Mo dug for it by hand.
The efficiency of hand shopping is very low, and it cannot handle the high gold content of the sediment in the creek. After seven hours of busy work, Chen Mo couldn't bear it anymore, so he took a nap in the space and continued...
After 90 hours in space, Chen Mo left the space with the gold he found. After searching the Internet for the melting point of gold, he used a stainless steel spoon to make a simple holder on the liquefied gas, and lit the liquefied gas to start burning.
The melting point of gold is over a thousand degrees, so it is still very difficult to melt gold without tools.
It was after seven o'clock and the gold had not yet melted. Chen Mo called and asked for leave and kept burning until after eight o'clock before the gold melted. A piece of gold in the shape of a spoon weighed 263.5 grams.
Chen Mo had never touched gold, but he had heard that gold was very heavy, but it was beyond Chen Mo's expectation that such a small amount weighed half a catty.
Weighing it in my hand, it was very light and of good quality. Then I took the gold and went out, heading to the gold and silver jewelry store in the town...
There is a gold and silver jewelry store in the town. Chen Mo also knows the owner. We played cards together before. The owner also said that he would accept Chen Mo as his apprentice, so I heard some things about gold from him.
"Boss Zhou."
The gold shop had just opened early in the morning and there was not a single customer. Chen Mo cheered himself up and walked in with a smile.
"Xiao Chen, you came to me to buy jewelry." Zhou Fulai also said with a smile.
This store has a history, and it still uses panel doors. Zhou Fulai also makes the gold and silver jewelry in the store himself, but in recent years, the business has not been very good... Chen Mo rarely sees customers buying inside.
thing.
"Old Zhou, do you accept gold here?" Chen Mo whispered.
Zhou Fulai raised his head: "Take it."
Chen Mo took out the golden lump in his pocket and said, "Help take a look."
Zhou Fulai weighed it in his hands, and the gold felt like it was sinking. But based on this alone, he couldn't tell whether it was gold. He scratched it with his fingernail, then bit it with his teeth: "The quality is good. Let me weigh it."
...263.47 grams." Then put it into the container to see the volume...
"It's gold. The quality is not very pure. I have to refine it again."
"OK."
In the end, the gold was only 256.71 grams.
"It's definitely cheaper to collect gold privately in the store than outside. It's 255 yuan per gram."
"The price pressure is too high." Chen Mo checked online before coming out. The current recycling price of old gold is about 280 yuan.
"255 yuan per gram, just for the sake of our acquaintance. I don't even ask you where the gold came from..." Zhou Fu came to look at Chen Mo, with an indescribable look in his eyes: "Private trading of gold is against the law. I
I’m sure you can’t tell where this gold came from.”
"Don't bother me. Although the country does not allow private trading of gold, there are many gaps and ambiguities in private gold trading. As long as the amount is not particularly large, no one will care about it."
"Won't it cause me trouble?"
"I promise not."
Zhou Fulai bit his finger and looked at the gold for a long time: "260 yuan, the highest price. I have to make some money too."
"Okay." Chen Mo gritted his teeth. There was a lot of gold in the space, and at this stage, he didn't know who to sell his gold to except Zhou Fulai.
At 260 yuan per gram, a spoonful of gold is worth 66,780 yuan. But Chen Mo has not made a total of 60,000 yuan in the coal mine from the beginning of last year until now.
The two shook hands.
Zhou Fulai put away the gold: "Cash or bank transfer?"
"Can I use WeChat and Alipay?" Chen Mo blinked and said.
"No problem." Zhou Fulai smiled and transferred the money to Chen Mo a few minutes later. WeChat transferred 30,000, and Alipay transferred 36,750.
This is not a huge amount of money and will not attract anyone's attention. But if you sell a large amount of gold and earn a huge amount of money in a short period of time, it will be troublesome.
"How much gold is left, 260 yuan, as much as you want."
"And..." Chen Mo took a deep breath: "About six to seven hundred grams."
"Did you bring it?"
"afternoon."
Chen Mo turned around and left, first went to the company to resign, and then went home to continue melting gold.
Chen Mo panned for gold by hand in the space. After 90 hours of panning, he earned about 1,000 grams of gold. All of it was melted and brought to a gold shop, where it was melted again... and finally weighed 735 grams, worth 191,100 yuan.
Zhou Fulai couldn't come up with so much cash at once, so Chen Mo waited in the town for two days to complete the transaction. As soon as he got the money, he got on his motorcycle and ran away in fear.
After working in the space for a few days, he earned 257,600 yuan. This was a huge sum of money for Chen Mo. If he earned a normal salary, he would have to live without food or drink for five or six years.
Not to mention there was one hundred thousand yuan in cash. The impact of cash made Chen Mo both happy and scared. The other money was stored in six bank cards in order not to attract attention...
