Chapter 1139 1138. Gold (25)

The texture of gold is soft, and the purer it is, the softer it is, so there are often plots on TV where someone uses teeth to identify the identity of yellow metal.

Generally, the yellow metals that appear in nature are nothing more than gold and brass. Brass is very hard. Not only will it not leave tooth marks when bitten with teeth, but it will also break teeth in severe cases.

Many treasure hunters stared wide-eyed and saw a clear tooth mark on the metal plate, which was bitten by Hans just now. The two rows of teeth marks are very neat, and after being bitten, they reveal a more dazzling yellow color!

This scene made everyone's eyes warm, and there was a commotion in the crowd, and they crowded forward one after another.

Godzilla raised the hydraulic shears and said coldly, "Are your bones harder than iron plates?"

The treasure hunters were startled, and one who rushed to the front looked up at Godzilla with a gloomy face, and quickly laughed and said: "No, no, man, you misunderstood, I want to help detect whether this is gold. Look, here I have magnet."

"Yes, my buddy just got a big magnet. You know, he can help you determine the identity of this thing." His partner also quickly explained that Godzilla plus hydraulic shears, the power is not ordinary.

Magnets are also a rough way to test gold. Gold does not contain magnetic metals. If something is attracted to a magnet, it is not gold.

However, some pure brass does not contain magnetic metal, so this is only a rough inspection method, and it is just the treasure picker looking for reasons for himself.

The treasure picker took the magnet up and turned it around, then turned around and said, "This is really gold, it has no magnetism!"

Someone shouted: "Magnet test is useless, use unglazed ceramics to test, Boss Li, Boss Fu, unglazed ceramics can test the authenticity of gold."

Unglazed ceramics will leave golden traces when scratching gold products, and other metals will produce black traces. This is indeed a more reliable method.

Li Du waved his hand to express his casualness. There were ceramic products in the warehouse, so someone ran over excitedly to find a plate.

Standing on the car, Hans inspected the metal plate carefully. When the treasure picker approached, he pushed the treasure picker away, and said happily: "No need to inspect, no need, this is definitely gold!"

Conrad said unconvinced: "Just because you checked it with your mouth? Did you use a gold-appreciating potion in your mouth?"

The treasure hunter next to him laughed, and Conrad also felt that his rebuttal was very powerful, so he also laughed happily.

Hans said, "Idiot, my mouth is just like your parents', with only teeth, tongue and saliva in it, but I still have a pair of eyes, and I can check with them!"

He asked Li Du to stand on the pedal of the car to watch, pointing to the front of the metal plate and excitedly said: "Did you see it, did you see anything there?"

Li Du took a look and said, "How many letters are there, FRB-Dallas, followed by 11? What does this mean?"

"FRB-Dallas (11), this is the abbreviation of Federal-Reserve-Bank-of-Dallas, 11 refers to District 11, the 11th Federal Reserve District of the Federal Reserve Gold Bank!" Hans shouted.

After hearing what Hans said, the treasure hunters became restless again, and several people ran over avoiding Godzilla's obstruction. They jumped to look at the roof of the car, and then said: "Really, FRB-Dallas (11), this It's Fed gold!"

The Federal Reserve Bank of the United States is the most powerful bank in the world. It is the place with the most dollars and gold in the world. It is located at 33 Liberty Avenue in New York.

The bank actually consisted of twelve banks and their twenty-five regional branches scattered across the United States, with Dallas having the location of Bank No. 11, known as the 11th Federal Reserve District.

According to the regulations of the Federal Reserve Bank, the national gold reserves are distributed in the vaults of twelve banks, and then allocated by the head office in New York.

Local gold first enters the regional reserve area where it belongs. They are stored in the form of gold ingots, and the gold ingots will be engraved with the identification code of the regional reserve area to which they belong.

For example, FRB-Dallas (11) refers to the fact that gold belongs to the Federal Regional Reserve District No. 11 and is stored by the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas.

Hans said optimistically: "This is definitely real gold. It is pressed into a gold plate with gold ingots from the 11th Federal District Reserve. I guessed it right, it is absolutely so."

Conrad sneered: "Who would be so stupid to press the gold ingots from the Federal Regional Reserve into gold plates? And it also appeared in the border area? This is really funny..."

When he said this, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and he closed his mouth suddenly, his eyes straightened.

A treasure hunter next to him spoke out for him what he was thinking: "God, this is the batch of gold that was robbed of the Bank of Dallas on the plane, right? DB-Cooper Gold?!"

As soon as his words came out, many people immediately responded:

"Is the logo FRB-Dallas (11)? The gold that was stolen from the plane in Dallas was the logo, right?"

"My God, we have witnessed a legend, it is true, it is this gold!"

"Weigh it quickly, 120 kilograms of gold, DB-Cooper stole 120 kilograms of gold at that time!"

Li Du looked at Hans in bewilderment, and asked, "What are they excited about? What DB-Cooper Gold?"

Hans tore his collar excitedly, and asked, "DB-Cooper Gold, you didn't know about the gold robbery in the 1970s?"

Li Du pushed him away and said, "I was not born in China in the 1970s, so I don't know what happened to you in the United States at that time."

Hans shouted: "Then you should have read the relevant introduction. This case is still listed on the Internet by the FBI, and it will be discussed on TV programs from time to time!"

"Anyway, I don't know, are you going to tell me or not?" Li Du said impatiently.

Hans raised his hand and said: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, my good brother, don't be angry, I say I'll tell you right away, but if you don't know, I have to explain this case for a long time, you have to be patient ..."

"explain!"

"OKOK!" Hans licked his lips and said, "It happened in 1971, brother, when the Bank of Dallas transferred a batch of gold to Los Angeles."

"You have to know, that was the worst time of the Cold War. The country allocated a lot of resources to military industry and defense, so other places had to save their lives, such as banks."

"Now banks use special planes to transfer gold, but that was not the case at that time. At that time, civilian flights were used to transfer gold by the way."

"So, here's the thing, a guy named DB-Cooper gets on the plane, and then when the plane is in the air, he takes out the suitcase and assembles a bomb on the plane..."

"Boss Fu, what you said is wrong, let me introduce it to Boss Li." A treasure hunter scrambled to say, "His name is not DB-Cooper, that's what the media said. His name is Dan-Cooper. I can guarantee his name is Dan Cooper, because my grandfather was one of the hostages on the plane!"
