Entering the Military Supply Department, the War Suddenly Changed to the War.

"Considering there's been a fall of this kind of object across the county."

"The situation is not optimistic!"

Liu Gong's expression instantly froze.

The whole county is covered with ten centimeters of dust. What is the concept?

If it is converted into snow, such a university has not been seen in a hundred years.

"Liu Gong, is it possible that a volcano erupted!"

Everyone is guessing.

At this time of crisis, scientific knowledge is no longer useful, and they even start to speculate.

"Impossible, we don't have any proven volcanoes in this area."

"Besides, volcanic ash is not in this form."

"Also, what happened to the light in the east before this thing landed in the sky?"

The gossip of the employees made Liu Gong extremely upset.

He shouted: "Don't make any noise! Contact the Geology and Mines Department and ask them to study the composition of this powder as soon as possible."

The order has just been issued a few minutes ago.

The Mining Department called.

Liu Gong is still a little curious, this time everyone's efficiency is a little too fast.

But when he answered the phone, the director of the Geological Bureau said anxiously, "We have already found out that most of the stuff in the air is pure silica!"

"Besides that, there's a lot of calcium oxide in the powder, as well as talking about organics."

"These things exist in molecular form, not compounds!"

The phone call left everyone in a state of confusion.

Everyone at the Meteorological Bureau takes high school chemistry classes.

The meaning of this call is to say that these wastes in the air are pure chemical elements, not mixed objects.

how can that be!

All things in the world, although composed of elements.

But after prolonged mixing, these elements cannot exist in pure form.

To know.

Usually, if you want to see pure silica and calcium oxide, these elements can only be obtained with purification equipment in the laboratory.

People from the Meteorological Bureau routinely study weather products dominated by hydrogen and oxygen molecules.

And this mineral-rich object is their blind spot of knowledge.

They couldn't figure out why the sky would suddenly drop such a thing.

Only Liu Gong still had a trace of reason.

"You mean, these things are dirt?"

In the end, it was the chief engineer who immediately grasped the point of these words.

The other end of the phone replied, "Yes!"

"These powders in the air now are the most common elements in loess."

"But we have absolutely no idea where these pure minerals come from."

"Looking like this, it's like someone has purified the loess, and then spilled the fuel in the air."

The properties of the object have been determined after preliminary tests by the Geology and Mines Department.

But they couldn't figure out how these objects appeared in the sky.

Since it is loess.

That should exist on the earth.

and.

Who was it, and what method was used to purify the loess to such a pure molecular state?

After a long silence, Liu Gong's voice has become hoarse.

This is no longer something that can be described by meteorological disasters.

This is simply an anomaly.

"Can you be sure how much of this stuff is there?"

Answer: "There are rewards from all over the county. The average amount of soil on the ground is about seven or eight centimeters. In this way, there are at least two trillion tons!"

………………

at the same time.

Shengjing Commodity Exchange, thousands of miles away.

This is the largest commodity futures exchange in the Far East, and all transactions here are the basic materials related to the national economy and people's livelihood.

For example, various grains for food, various chemical materials for industrial use...

As long as it is a substance that exists in this world, it can appear on the big screen of the commodity exchange.

Since these commodities are futures, they have similar principles to stocks.

Affected by the relationship between supply and demand, the price of commodities is changing every minute.

If the output of a commodity suddenly increases dramatically, the price of that commodity will also suddenly drop.

Specific performance to the commodity exchange.

It is the percentage after the name of the product it represents.

Green means down, red means up.

Towards the evening, the price of silica on the Shengjing Commodity Exchange suddenly fell sharply.

for a while.

It actually fell by a huge 43% drop, almost halving.

When the market opened in the morning, the quotation of industrial secondary silica was 120 yuan/ton.

But now.

The price has dropped to sixty yuan.

This is the biggest drop the Shengjing Commodity Exchange has seen since its establishment.

Commodity futures are different from stocks. They have the most basic value. Even if they fall, they will not fall by an exaggerated amount.

Cut in half, this is a precedent that has never happened in the world.

Because of this incident, the director of the commercial exchange also rushed to the trading floor to learn about the situation.

"Why!"

"Silicon dioxide is an important material for making glass. Such a drop method will cause problems!"

The macroeconomics Ph.D. saw the crux of the problem at a glance.

Silica has dropped in price by nearly half, which means that all commodities related to silica will be turbulent.

Glass is the most common industrial material in our lives.

The upstream raw material prices are cut in half, and the downstream will also be messed up.

The expert analyst of silica of the Commodity Exchange is also in vain.

As a professional consultant for this commodity, he is extremely knowledgeable about silica-related matters, including the production process and yield.

He frowned and said, "Director, silica is not just gold ore and iron ore."

"This substance is to be purified in a laboratory."

"The price has dropped so much, there must be an expansion of production, but whose factory has such a great ability to cut the price in half?"

The price of gold, silver, copper and iron fluctuates and is affected by supply and demand.

Often, a new mine is discovered, and the price drops a bit.

Silica has a similar pattern.

But it is nothing more than the expansion of the factory, the output is increased a little, and the price has dropped by a few thousandths.

This is already a big drop.

According to the research institute's estimate, it will drop by [-]% unless all silica purification plants in the world grow by [-]%.

Just when the Commercial Exchange was puzzled.

A message came.

[There is a huge amount of secondary pure silica on the market, the amount is around [-] billion tons. 】
