Earth Coin

Chapter 789: Earth Coin

Nifita continued, pointing at a row of crates. "We also have the Intelligent Antibodies and Gene Repair Fluid that the Shacha Civilization prepared earlier. One production line for the former, two for the latter, with a total value of one hundred Fusion Coins."

"And these crates contain one million tons of gold, worth ten Fusion Coins. Gold originates from supernova explosions. It is an extremely stable heavy metal, and even in the Atomic Age, large quantities of gold resources are needed."

"The crates beside them contain elements that are rare or nonexistent on Earth as well. For example, I brought ten thousand tons of Keng Element, thirty thousand tons of astatine, one million tons of rhodium, 1.2 million tons of iridium, nine hundred thousand tons of osmium, 1.4 million tons of rhenium..."

"All these rare elements combined amount to ten million tons, with a total value of one hundred Fusion Coins."

The human representatives looked grave. The India representative's eyes practically gleamed. Good lord, one million tons of gold—humanity did not even possess that much gold in total!

To date, humanity had only mined three hundred thousand tons. Yet Nifita had casually delivered one million tons, more than three times humanity's total reserves.

Gold was an important industrial material. Especially after entering the Nano Era, more and more formulas for synthetic compounds had been discovered, creating a massive demand for all kinds of rare elements.

Lusa was speechless. He could not help saying, "So what if it came from a supernova? That means nothing. Earth alone has sixty trillion tons of gold, and it's everywhere in the universe..."

"We know, but our current industrial production requires enormous quantities of gold," the Hua Country representative said.

Lusa quickly added, "Element trading is very cheap in interstellar commerce.
