In anticipation, three days later, cable channel 1 broadcast the second episode of the documentary "into the wilderness" - the country of gold.
Compared with the previous program, this program is exciting for the primitive, barbaric and shocking social and ecological environment of the whole western continent''s eagle beak area.
Because the content of this episode is very suitable for the small topic of this episode, the country of gold.
About seven or eight years ago, the price of gold was about four yuan a gram. Now, the price of gold per gram has risen to seven yuan and eighty cents. The price of gold in the non-ferrous metal market is also rising steadily, with almost no obvious decline.
People can see that with the advancement of time and the development of society, the price of gold is likely to exceed ten yuan a gram, and there is nothing more valuable than gold.
Money stored in banks may depreciate, but it seems difficult for gold to depreciate.
The location hostess in the TV picture has changed a suit more suitable for action in the tropical jungle, and there are more soldiers around her than last time.
Last time it was just a long-distance observation, but this time it went directly into the tropical jungle.
Among the numerous aborigines in the Yingzui area, there are tribes similar to luluhado, which have formed a micro social ethnic tribe, as well as "family organizations" living in the jungle and wilderness according to blood relationship.
In addition, the war in the hawkbeak area has not stopped recently, and the film crew has also hired enough soldiers to protect their personal safety.
With the shaky picture, an ancient altar dissatisfied with the traces of history and moss appears somewhere in the jungle.
The hostess began to introduce herself to the audience in front of the TV screen.
"We found this deserted altar according to some local aborigines."
"In their culture, they believe in and fear a terrible demon king who falls into sleep for a certain period of time. Once he wakes up, he will destroy the world."
When she said this, the hostess couldn''t help smiling. As we all know, the world was created by God. Even if there were demons, it was suppressed by God.
Many people in front of the TV audience also smiled knowingly and scoffed at this statement, especially those believers of the God of righteousness.
"In the local culture, the indigenous people believe that if the demon king does not eat for a long time, he will wake up briefly because of hunger, bringing plague and terrible disasters to the world. Therefore, they will sacrifice on the second rainy day or the last day of each quarter."
"From what we have learned so far, they will use the blood of wild animals to water altars like this, and let the animal blood fill the grooves at the bottom of the altar..."
In the picture, the hostess squats down in front of the camera and knocks open some floating soil and moss with a branch to expose some altars under the soil. Some parts of them are dark brown, which is darker than the dark green moss around.
The hostess took the branch to a stone platform in the middle of the altar and continued, "they will sacrifice the beast''s head and heart to the demon God in exchange for the demon God''s long sleep."
"In the past, people did not understand the causes of natural disasters, so they attributed those disasters they could not understand to some existence they could not understand, and sought spiritual comfort in this way."
"In the religious ceremonies here, the indigenous people, like most primitive and primitive sects, are extremely devout to the gods they believe in, so they will use gold as a vessel to provide blood as a sacrifice..."
The female reporter threw away the branches and took over a multifunctional shovel from the entourage. She scraped off the floating soil on the altar, revealing the main structure like a stone.
"It seems that this is just a huge stone, but in fact it is... Help me take it..." the female reporter handed the microphone to others, and then waved her shovel and chiseled it on the altar.
Ding''s crisp sound was not the sound of the stone. The picture suddenly pushed forward a lot, making a gap on the altar appear. People in front of the TV unexpectedly found that there was a very exciting bright color hidden in that insignificant gap!
It''s a little more blue and white than gold, but it''s not like ordinary metal.
Brass?
Or gold?
Many people''s hearts suddenly began to beat violently at this moment, and some of them found something acutely.
The female reporter would chop, shovel and chisel several times to expose more golden holes on the altar, and then took back the microphone, "It is a very common phenomenon to use precious metals, especially silver and gold as sacrificial vessels. Although many civilizations have such practices so far, our scientists still can''t explain why people used gold and silver as vessels without agreement in the closed and lack of communication social environment in the past 。”
"But it doesn''t matter. The top layer of the altar behind me is about ten centimeters thick, all made of gold!"
She seemed to be aware of the eagerness and excitement of the audience during the broadcast of this episode. After a slight pause, she continued, "but they are not pure gold. It is difficult for them to turn gold ore into such a gold plate under the premise of lack of equipment and more advanced smelting technology in the past."
"According to the detection of our entourage, its purity is about 40% to 60%. In addition, it is mixed with some other associated metal elements, but I believe that if it is re refined, a lot of high-purity gold will be obtained."
"In the primitive ecological society near the olecranon, similar altars are almost everywhere in most places. Some altars have been abandoned because of the extinction or migration of tribes, and some are still in use."
"As far as we know, in the southernmost and largest tribe in the eagle beak area, their sacrificial altar is completely made of gold!"
"In the Yingzui area, there are many and rich open-pit gold mines. The low-risk open-pit mining enables the aborigines to obtain a large number of gold products. For them, gold is more like a hard currency everywhere..."
The main purpose of this program is to introduce the civilization and history of the eagle beak area. As soon as gold was mentioned, the content of TV began to change. Among them, an Aboriginal teenager who looked 16 or 78 years old appeared in the picture.
"This is the youngest son of chief luluhado. We all know that chief luluhado is very awed and eager for civilization. He is also the first chief to go out from the eagle mouth area."
"When he knew that we were going to record a program related to local culture and history, he took the initiative to ask his lingua franca little son to help us answer some questions."
Then they talked about many kinds of culture and traditions about the eagle beak area. Finally, the host was curious and asked more than the scope of the script.
"I noticed that almost every tribe of you has its own altar to sacrifice the sleeping demon God. What''s the name of this demon God, or is there a legend about him?"
Argohari, the youngest son of Lulu hado, explained in some astringent common words, "in our legend, this great demon God brought destruction and rebirth. He is the origin and end of all things."
"A wake-up and a deep sleep are the end of a period of time... In the past, our ancestors called him ''the Immortal Emperor of the Dragon''..."
The female reporter nodded her head and said with a smile, "Immortal Dragon Emperor? This is a very......" her expression made the audience laugh and hide a trace of sarcasm, "a very authoritative title!"
The audience in front of the TV also smiled knowingly, which is probably the silent ridicule of civilization for barbarism!
The ratings of this program are very high. Even in the display cabinets of some shopping malls and stores that sell televisions, they are replayed continuously.
The imperial residents who had enough to eat and drink were no longer satisfied. With simple spiritual enjoyment and pursuit, supplemented by repeated media reports, people became more and more concerned and interested in some international news.
On the second day of the broadcast, when the whole society was curious about the barbarism and culture of the eagle beak area, the Imperial Cabinet suddenly announced that the ifto meeting would be held normally as planned.
At the same time, there are also rumors that the international financial and Trade Organization will issue a new international currency, and all Member States will settle international trade in Xingyuan and the international currency named "union currency".
In order to stabilize the exchange rate of alliance currency, avoid additional issuance due to some uncontrollable man-made reasons and accelerate inflation, the imperial Ministry of foreign trade, the Ministry of national defense, the Ministry of foreign affairs and the cabinet believe that the newly issued alliance currency will be linked to gold.
Ifto will set up an internal discipline department to strictly inspect and review the issuance of union currency and gold reserves of Member States twice a year.
Although this news has not been confirmed by any official agency, it has caused a great sensation in the non-ferrous metal market.
Gold prices in the three major non-ferrous metal sectors soared by 6% after the opening, and there is a further upward trend.
People may not understand what is going on behind all this, but they clearly know that gold is becoming more and more expensive.
And on the other side of the Strait, there is a barbaric, primitive area full of gold and war!
For a time, many people had the impulse to go to the eagle mouth area and put it into action.
