The volume of these large boxes is smaller than the wooden boxes containing gold ingots in the treasure of the Duke of Qian, but the volume of these boxes is 0.36 cubic meters. Even if these gold bars do not completely fill up these boxes, Yang Jing estimates that the weight of gold in one box is about five tons.
Because these gold bars are all standard 400-ounce gold bars processed by the Swiss Metalor Group, they are all marked with the Metalor Group's logo, as well as the weight of the gold bar, the 99.5% gold content mark and the number.
These gold bars are gold that can be directly put on the market for circulation and can be used as reserve gold in any country. As the world's largest gold processor, the Swiss Metalor Group can process more than 1,000 tons of gold a year. Metalor gold bars and gold bars have almost become synonymous with internationally circulated gold.
Yang Jing roughly counted them and found that there were four layers of gold bricks in this big box. Each layer contained 100 gold bricks. There were 400 gold bricks in one box. That added up to five tons, right?
Eight boxes, that's a total of 40 tons of gold with a gold content of 99.5%!
How much is 40 tons of gold worth? That's more than a billion dollars!
The value of this gold alone, plus the contents of the boxes just opened, is over four billion dollars!
Yang Jing could not help but sigh again at the extravagance of Gaddafi and his son. In the eyes of ordinary people, these treasures would be a huge treasure, but for Gaddafi and his son, the value of these treasures is estimated to be at most 5% of their wealth...
Yang Jing shook his head, trying hard to forget the golden light that remained in his mind.
Yang Jing also collected the gold. The gold had become ownerless, so why not collect it?
What? You said that all this gold was the hard-earned money of the Libyan people that Gaddafi had plundered. You cannot take it away. You have to leave it to the Libyan people.
Please, I am not a Libyan citizen. I am not such a saint. Even if these things are all the money that Gaddafi plundered, you can go and talk to Gaddafi. It's none of my business. Are these things plundered by me?
I, Old Yang, only know that I spent a lot of effort to discover these things, and they are ownerless. Why should I leave them to you?
Yang Jing really had no psychological burden to accept these things. When he found Mu Tianbo's treasure, Yang Jing had already decided to take out those precious antiques, calligraphy and paintings, as well as the "Yongle Encyclopedia" for the people of the country to appreciate. Except for a few gold and silver ingots to be placed in the museum, the rest would be converted into cash and then donated anonymously to poor students in the mountainous areas.
Those treasures felt a little hot to Yang Jing's hands, after all, they were his ancestors' things.
But what are these things? Why can't I, Old Yang, take them? I took them, and you can't find them on me. If you want to find them, you should go to your old Ka, because that guy is the culprit!
Yang Jing's neck felt a little sore from lowering his head for so long. He shook his head to relieve the pressure on his neck. Just as he was about to put the eight boxes of gold bricks into the storage space, he inadvertently saw the shadowy figure in the distant passage.
Yang Jing was startled. Is it haunted?
But then he realized that someone must have sneaked into this hidden underground base.
Although Yang Jing had no idea how these people got in, he knew very well that this base must be no simple one. If he opened this base buried deep under the mountain in such a hurry, there was a great possibility that he would be discovered.
Although this base is hidden deep in the Sahara Desert, it is a secret military base after all. And anything related to "military" must be extraordinary. The fact that they were able to sneak in is enough to prove that this underground military base is definitely not ordinary.
Otherwise, Mutasim would not have arranged for his adjutant to hide treasures worth more than four billion US dollars in this base!
It is no exaggeration to say that when Yang Jing saw those shadowy figures, all the hairs on his body stood up.
He had never experienced such a scene since he was a child. Even when he first traveled to 1994 and acquired so many manuscripts and documents, and then met the police uncle at his door, he had never felt so excited!
That’s right! This sudden burst of adrenaline really makes people unable to control themselves!
Without any hesitation, Yang Jing reached out his hand based on his intuition, and his left hand gently ran across the open boxes containing gold bricks. The next moment, all the gold worth more than 1.4 billion US dollars disappeared.
After making sure that all the gold had been stored in the storage space, Yang Jing smiled slightly at the passage, waved his hand as if to say goodbye, and then before the first strong flashlight in the passage shone here, he brazenly activated the restricted time-space shuttle skill...
