Chapter 928 (1/2)
How much is enough gold?
A ton? Ten tons? A hundred tons? A thousand tons?
No one is accurate.
According to the formula given by Julong, the proportion of brass and gold in oreha steel accounts for the vast majority.
The specific production ratio of oreha steel is brass: Gold: Secret silver: AOJIN: dragon blood = 8:1.5:0.3:0.1:0.1.
This means that to produce 1000 tons of oriha steel, 800 tons of brass, 150 tons of gold, 30 tons of secret silver, 10 tons of AOJIN and 10 tons of dragon blood are used - of course, because the effective component gold cells are extracted, dragon blood can be replaced by gold cells. According to the average content of gold cells in the dragon family, the effect of 10 tons of dragon blood is about 4 to 5 tons of gold cells.
Brass is easy to say. Prandar's copper reserves are very large. At present, the mined brass is mainly used to produce tap water pipes, as well as some metal utensils and parts of magic machinery. The production capacity is absolutely sufficient.
It's easy to say that once the Dihang dragon breeding industry is launched, the supply of gold cells can be said to be continuous, and there's no need to worry.
The trouble lies in gold, Mithril and AOJIN.
Note that the consumption of this formula is calculated by ton!
If Mithril and AOJIN can be calculated in tons, can they be regarded as rare and expensive magic metals?
Dwarves, blacksmiths, alchemists and other professions use secret silver and AOJIN on the basis of grams!
Recalling sashaglott's words and thinking about the huge golden statues in the strange space, Donne twitched in the corners of his mouth.
Prandal's Secret silver and AOJIN have been made into olliha steel by them to create the golden giant statue - but of course Donne won't destroy the body of the golden giant statue again and reshape it to produce magic gun armor for the dragon. It's no doubt that he picked up sesame and lost watermelon.
Fortunately, Donne holds the golden thighs of the gods, Mithril and ogin. He has them. Although it is impossible to supply large-scale industrial production, it is no problem to deal with this batch of orders from Sasha glott. As for the remaining Mithril and ogin, he can only find them from other magical metal mines.
Of course, there is another place.
Star boundary.
The mineral resources on the planets in the star world are also quite rich. In addition to magic metals, there are also heavy metals such as gold in the star world, but the biggest problem is... There is no way to exploit them on a large scale.
Mining in the star world is equivalent to mining in the outer space asteroid belt. Now prandal's industrial level has not even broken through the atmosphere. How can it have the ability of outer space mining?
If you use the power of magic to overtake in a corner and take a shortcut, you can realize a small amount of mining, but you also need a stable star base to do it, and you have to convince those magicians who have at least a master level level to be willing to go to the star world to take risks and work as miners
Unless the power of magic completely fades its mystical color and becomes an ordinary power that can be completely popularized, this can happen.
At present, it seems that we should first deal with the orders of Sasha glott, and then find ways to find materials for subsequent production.
”Gold?”
Fiona frowned: ”is our existing gold mine capacity not enough?”
”I can't say enough. I just thought of one thing... Don't you think there are too many gold coins in circulation in various countries on the mainland?”
Donne's words stunned Fiona and surprised her: ”do you want to --”
”Yes, I want to recycle gold coins, smelt and separate them, and then restore the gold to the status of industrial raw materials.”
Donne nodded and said, ”in the past, there were too many and complex gold coins issued by various dynasties, and some of these gold coins were stored in the coffers of various rich people, and some were still circulating in the market, which was very unfavorable to the healthy development of the economy, so I think we should do something.”
Fiona hesitated a little. After a moment, she said, ”would it be too reckless to do so? Gold coins have been prandal's currency for thousands of years. If we want to carry out monetary reform, we will certainly encounter considerable resistance.”
”How to say, the economic policy of the gold standard is based on the rare value of gold, but look at the current market, do you think gold is rare?”
Donne let go and Fiona had nothing to say.
Because he's telling the truth.
Now there are hundreds of thousands of gold coins in any product. If it were not for the emergence of the Star Diamond bank, I'm afraid even the transaction would be a problem - because it's impossible for anyone to go out with so many gold coins all day and crush people.
As a currency, gold coins have many disadvantages. If the reform can be carried out, it will be beneficial, but if the reform cannot be carried out smoothly, I'm afraid it will brew a very huge hidden danger.
