Holding a small box of gold, such a rich windfall made Gu Zhuo feel very good. He returned to the Fortress of Doom, put the box down, and poured a glass of milk into Sam's bowl:
"Drink, I'll reward you tonight. Without you, I wouldn't be able to get this box of goodies."
Sam wagged his tail, barked a few times, and then began to lick the milk in the bowl with his tongue.
Gu Zhuo walked to the place where the armor was placed and took off the war machine. He noticed that Chaoying made no movement and was not in the living cabin. He probably fell asleep directly in the cab.
Sure enough, when he walked into the cab, he saw Chao Ying leaning on the passenger seat and fell into a deep sleep. He didn't even feel Gu Zhuo coming back.
Afraid that Chaoying would catch a cold, Gu Zhuo brought her a blanket and covered her gently.
He didn't want to disturb Chaoying, so he covered her with a blanket. After watching her for a while, he tiptoed back to the living cabin.
The accident he encountered in Yangzhong during the day made Gu Zhuo realize one thing. His doomsday fortress only contained medicine and some emergency medical kits, but it was useless. He still lacked a real medical equipment.
Chaoying's unexpected situation today made him really worried, fearing that something unexpected would happen to her.
Even if Chaoying recovers later, she still won't know what caused her to look like that today. Now it's not like before, when she felt a little uncomfortable, she could be sent to the hospital for a full-body checkup.
But it was precisely because it was unlike before that Gu Zhuo decided to carve out a special medical area on the Doomsday Fortress.
He may not be able to use it, but he can't live without it.
Thinking of this, he would have to go to Chaoying again tomorrow and ask her to draw the drawings of medical equipment.
When he thought that Chaoying had helped him so much, including drawing him the upgrade drawings of the Doomsday Fortress and the design draft of the war machine, she also needed to handle the current medical facilities. Gu Zhuo couldn't help but sigh. Fortunately, he saved the day that day.
Get off Chaoying, otherwise a lot of trouble will happen out of thin air.
Seeing that Sam had finished drinking the milk in the bowl, Gu Zhuo knelt down and touched his head.
I don’t know when it started, but Sam went from being wary and distrustful at the beginning to now treating Chaoying as one of his own.
"Sam, go to bed and don't make too much noise, do you understand?"
Gu Zhuo whispered to Sam, he didn't want Sam to disturb Chaoying.
Hearing this, Sam let out a low "whimper" twice, then returned to his kennel, sweeping his tail on the ground.
It was getting late, and it was time for Gu Zhuo himself to rest.
He glanced in the direction of the cab again before reluctantly returning to his bedroom.
After taking a bath and changing his clothes, Gu Zhuo lay on the bed and soon fell asleep.
...
"Oh shit!"
Gu Zhuo yelled and then sat up suddenly from the bed.
It was another nightmare. In the dream, the six infected people treated him like a toy, rubbing him randomly in their hands and throwing him around like garbage.
"These guys who are riding horses will not let me go even in my dreams!"
Gu Zhuo cursed hard and then looked at the time. It was now 7:30 in the morning, and he had only slept for three or four hours.
However, he was no longer sleepy by that dream. He got up, brushed his teeth, washed his face, and walked out of the bedroom.
Unexpectedly, Chaoying woke up early and took a shower. Now her hair was wet and hanging on both shoulders. The air conditioner was on in the Doomsday Fortress. It was not cold. She only wore a short-sleeved shirt.
.
She was sitting on a chair, looking at the small box that Gu Zhuo brought back last night and placed on the table, seeming very curious.
"Morning."
Gu Zhuo walked to her side and sat down.
"morning."
Chao Ying raised his head and responded to him.
After taking a shower, before she had time to dry her hair, she was as beautiful as a hibiscus emerging from the water.
It took Gu Zhuo a lot of effort to move his eyes away from her face, and then he heard Chao Ying say:
"Did you bring this box back yesterday? I was asleep yesterday and didn't know what was in it. You didn't wake up in the morning, so I couldn't open it without permission."
"Yes, I brought it back yesterday."
As Gu Zhuo spoke, he quickly moved the box between the two of them, then opened it and said:
"It was an accidental discovery. There is actually a hall hidden in this ruins. It is probably a big bandit den. They wanted to sell off the stolen goods and sealed the entire hall. If it hadn't been for Sam, I wouldn't have discovered it at all yesterday."
By the time Gu Zhuo finished speaking, the box had been opened, and the box of gold bars appeared in front of Chao Ying:
"Only this box is full of gold. I've looked at all the others, and they're all useless, just a bunch of junk."
The moment a small box of gold appeared in front of Chaoying, Chaoying took a breath and his eyes lit up.
But it wasn't because she was blinded by the wealth, but as a person with a deep understanding of materials and engineering, she knew how much the gold could help them.
"I really can't believe it. The chance of this happening is so small. It's like I'm dreaming!"
Chaoying murmured.
"Yes, but this kind of good thing actually happened to us. Maybe it was because we were so unlucky a few days ago, and now things are turning."
Gu Zhuo scratched his head and answered.
Chaoying took out a gold bar from the small box. Due to the high density of gold, gold bars that are too large are generally heavy. However, the gold bars in the small box are deliberately cut into small strips, seemingly for the sake of ease of carrying.
.
She took the gold bar in her hand and looked at it carefully, and then said:
"Generally speaking, the gold content of gold bars from the Qing Dynasty is not very high, and there were a lot of bribes at that time, so the gold content is very low. Gold ingots with high gold content are basically impossible to appear in places like this, and they should all be among collectors or wealthy people.
Keep it at home."
Hearing this, Gu Zhuo didn't understand much about this, so he heard a not-so-valuable sentence and quickly asked Chaoying:
"Are you saying all this gold is not good?"
Hearing Gu Zhuo ask her such an urgent question, Chao Ying smiled, glanced at him, and replied:
"There is no distinction between good and bad. Even if it is a bribe, there is real gold in it, not brass. It is just a distinction between how much gold it contains. I really want to refine it and bring it out completely.
"In the past, the wires in mobile TVs in 2000 were all made of gold wire. Even with such a small gold content, someone can refine it into gold. Do you think there will be less of these gold bars?"
Hearing what Chaoying said, Gu Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief. It's good that his happiness yesterday was not in vain.
"Then how can we extract the gold inside? Has it been melted?"
"It doesn't have to be melted, but it's not inconvenient and requires a lot of chemical reagents."
Hearing that a lot of chemical reagents were needed, Gu Zhuo's Doomsday Fortress didn't seem to have any of these things prepared. He could only sigh and said:
"Okay, it seems we don't have any means to extract the gold from it now."
Hearing that Gu Zhuo seemed disappointed, Chaoying asked suspiciously:
"Do you really want to refine gold? For us, this doesn't seem to be a necessity now, so there is no need to worry."
Hearing this, Gu Zhuo told Chao Ying what he was thinking about last night:
"Actually, I want to install an additional medical area in the car, so that if something happens in the future, I don't have to be so panicked and at a loss."
"Install a medical area?"
Chaoying repeated it, and she suddenly realized that Gu Zhuo must have done this because of the way she looked yesterday.
"Yes, but adding a medical area will definitely require you to draw the design drawings, and you will have to provide medical equipment and the like. And if you want to add a medical area inside, you will definitely have to rearrange the internal space.
Maybe even expand the original space in the car.
"So I thought, let's upgrade the Doomsday Fortress for the third time!"
Hearing this, he nodded towards Ying.
She looked at the box of gold and knew why Gu Zhuo was eager to extract pure gold. Gold can play an immeasurable role in some aspects of the medical field. Even because of its high chemical stability, good biological properties and
Due to their compatibility and suitable mechanical properties, they have become important materials for artificial organs.
If gold nanoparticles can be added to medical equipment, the functions that this medical equipment can provide will be very extensive.
Thinking of this, Chaoying took a breath and said:
"Okay, I will draw the design drawings, whether they are for medical equipment or the drawings required for upgrades. But the first thing we have to do is to extract the gold. As for how to extract it, we have to start from scratch. First
Build a machine for refining gold."
[Author's digression]: Theoretically, it is possible to extract gold from mobile phones and TVs. And some people really make a fortune from this.
When I was a child, I had a neighbor who recycled old mobile phones and computers that others didn’t want every day, and then refined gold at home. He made a lot of money from that. But this kind of thing is very harmful to the body, and he eats technology money and body money. My grandfather and
I knew that person, and I learned a little from him. If my family hadn't stopped me, my grandfather would have learned to make gold with him at home.
My grandfather told me some gold-alchemy skills, but unfortunately I was young at that time and have forgotten all about it now. I only remember that refining gold manually at home is very harmful to the body, and it is usually done by older people.
