Gold has been of high value since ancient times. How many people even bet their lives in order to obtain gold. However, due to this special value of gold, the past dynasties also have strict control over gold, strictly prohibiting private illegal mining, dumping and other activities.
Gold Rush used to empty alleys in the United States
Remember that crazy era in the 19th century, there was a gold rush in the United States, when everyone rushed to the west to pan for gold in order to get rich overnight, and workers left the construction site. Students stopped returning to the classroom, civil servants left the office, and even the crew and soldiers joined the gold rush.
The reason why these people are so enthusiastic about going for gold is that they hope to become rich in an instant, and hope that they can achieve the goal of getting rich overnight through luck and shortcuts.
Indeed, in terms of cost performance, gold is the safest in terms of value preservation or appreciation. People have been eager for gold for generations.
Strange phenomenon, the water pump in the village keeps idling
Recently I saw a piece of news. In a village in Qinhuangdao, Hebei, a villager used a water pump and 3 kilograms of activated carbon, and it was actually worth more than 340,000 yuan. The gold was eventually sent to prison for theft.
This is how it happened. First, a family of villagers here worked in other places on weekdays, and occasionally came home but suddenly found that the electricity bill at home was suddenly much higher than usual, which made her I don’t understand. I don’t use much electricity at home. Why did the electricity bill suddenly double?
In order to find out why, this villager specially hired an electrician to inquire about the electricity consumption at home. The electricity bill can't be paid just so unclearly.
Finally, I finally found a clue in a well. It turned out that the doubled electricity bill went to the pump under the well. The water pump in the villager’s home is placed more than ten meters underground. Once the water level in the well is low and the water pump comes out of the water, the water pump will automatically start working.Will continuously pump water into the well.
However, in the same month when the electricity bill was rising, the villagers of this household found that the wells that had been full before had dried up, and the pumps were always running idling, but they couldn’t get it. How much water.
Five households of villagers actually have twenty or thirty times the electricity in their homes.
Coincidentally, after inquiring, the villagers of this household found that similar phenomena also appeared in the wells of many people in the village. Why is there a sudden shortage of water in a small mountain village surrounded by mountains and water?
Everyone sits down and discusses it. There must be a problem with the groundwater in the village. Such a problem will only occur when the water level drops sharply. Realizing the seriousness of the matter, the village chief hurried to the electric power department to make an inquiry and found that the electricity bills of five households in the village were surprisingly high.
The average electricity fee of these five companies is 20 or 30 times higher than the average electricity fee of the village. This phenomenon reminds everyone of a gold mine not far from the village many years ago.
According to the local old man, it was a big gold mine, and it was once glorious. It had a history of producing 3000 taels a year in the 1980s. However, due to some reasons, the local gold mine was shut down. , The gold mine was blocked and a seal was also affixed.
This time the water level in the whole village has dropped, causing a spring at the mouth of the village that has been flowing all year round to dry up, and people are beginning to worry about whether it will cause environmental problems in the whole village.
At the same time, the villagers have been pointing the finger of the evil results at the few residents with super high electricity bills. What methods did they use to steal the gold?
How was the gold of more than 340,000 yuan drawn?
There have been rumors before that the groundwater in this village contains gold. Why do you say that? Because gold mines originally existed near this village, and at the same time the quality of gold is relatively large and insoluble in water, some of the gold nuggets have reached the level of water during the process of being washed by groundwater.
If you want to get these gold up from the bottom of the ground,The simplest and rude method is to pump up all the groundwater, and then some of the gold remaining at the bottom of the groundwater will be pumped up together.
In addition, the villager also bought more than 3 kilograms of activated carbon, poured the activated carbon into several large water tanks, and the pumped water was continuously filtered and adsorbed, and finally a large amount of gold was obtained. Fragments. However, this action has obvious damage to the environment. A large amount of groundwater is lost and wasted, and it will also disrupt the ecological balance.
As early as a few years ago, the village had banned villagers from illegally extracting golden sand, sealed some idle wells, and confiscated some pumps for pumping water. However, this measure only curbed the shortcomings. In a few years, illegal mine pirates have happened again.
As a precious resource of the country, gold mines have long been clearly stipulated that private mining is not allowed. In the end, the court sentenced the villagers who had illegally stolen mines by pumping water in the name of the crime of theft.
After expert appraisal, the villagers stole gold worth more than 340,000 yuan.
