To put it bluntly, the machine that he brought this time was a large model vacuum cleaner. The accuracy of collecting the gold sand was only 92%. William did not plan to bother with the remaining 8% or so of gold mixed with pure gold sand.
Anyway, this so-called Golden Canyon was just for show. If he really wanted gold, forget about Mars, Sunday had opened several bases on Planet X17 and there were already more than 400 tons of gold in the warehouse.
This was without deliberately looking for a gold mine. When they were building the base, a part of the rock that was dug out contained 9.1 grams of gold per ton, which was refined by Sunday.
Therefore, to William, instead of spending the time and effort himself, it was better to send 100 more engineering robots to the gold mine at Olympus Volcano on Mars.
Although the accuracy of the machine in his hand was not perfect, the efficiency was very high. In less than three minutes, the 1,000 kilogram gold box that came with the machine was filled.
After instructing the two small robots to bring out the 40 centimeter-long cubic gold box, William smiled at the live broadcast ball.
"A ton of pure gold is a cube with a side length of 37.2 centimeters. This metal box that contains the gold sand should be much heavier than a ton when it's filled.
Since the gold sand is not pure gold after all, after being transported back to London, it should not be a problem to extract a ton of pure gold from this box of gold sand. "
After doing a demonstration, William was not interested in doing it himself. He pointed the camera of the live broadcast ball at the two small robots that were sealing the gold box.
He ran to Nissa and Serena, who had finished taking photos and were digging the gold sand with shovels, a few dozen meters away.
He hugged Serena from behind and said with a wretched smile, "Stop digging, my dear. Should we consider doing some fitness exercises on Mars? Maybe it'll feel different. "
Serena and Nissa did not know what William wanted to do when they heard that.
They rolled their eyes at William. William chuckled when he saw Serena's expression.
He pulled one in each hand and walked into the spaceship.
Two hours later, William walked out of the spaceship feeling refreshed. The first thing he saw was the gold boxes placed on the sand by the two small robots.
With just a few glances, he silently calculated that there were at least 40 gold boxes on the ground.
Damn it, William quickly figured out where the problem was after calculating in his mind.
Twenty boxes of Golden Sand in an hour meant more than 20 tons, and 480 tons in a day. Only 600 tons were buried in this part of the canyon.
With two robots and machines, the golden sand in this part of the canyon would be dug out in less than two days.
As for the gold mine at Mount Olympus, only 350 tons were mined in a month, which was more than what most countries could mine in a year.
"Darling, what are you doing here?"
Serena, who had changed her clothes and space armor, asked when she saw William standing by the cabin door in a daze. She then looked at the neatly arranged gold boxes not far away.
"Is there a problem with that?"
"No." William shook his head. Only he and Sunday knew about the Golden Canyon, so he changed the topic.
"Don't worry, it's not a big deal. We'll be going back to the base in the cave for the night. I suggest you and Nissa dig up some Golden Sand and take it home as a souvenir."
"That's a good idea." Serena's attention was indeed diverted. She glared at William and said, "If it weren't for you, we would have finished everything long ago."
Looking at Serena who had pushed him away and walked down from the spaceship, William was not angry at all. He merely chuckled as he recalled the one-versus-two fitness competition.
To be honest, the location was still very important to get a different experience. Whether it was William himself, Serena, or Nissa, everyone was very invested in the fitness on Mars. Nissa was so tired that she was lying in the lounge and didn't want to come out.
After filling a bag with Golden Sand, Serena wondered if she should bring some back for the rest of the family. She looked up and saw William standing by the cabin door with a smile on his face.
She was unhappy. "You bastard, why aren't you helping me?"
William told Sunday to be careful not to take him and Serena in. He jumped down from the spaceship and walked to Serena's side. "One bag is enough. Don't tell me you want to build a life-sized Golden Statue of yourself?"
"I have to bring some back for Abby and the rest." She glared at William. "Lest they think Nissa and I are rude."
"Hehe." William never asked about this kind of thing. He reached out his hand and waved at the Golden Sand on the ground.
The Golden Sand and Red Iron Sand on the ground separated automatically. Then, a large cloud of Golden Sand flowed upwards like water and gathered in the air above William's palm.
A flame appeared around the Golden Sand without warning. In a few seconds, it melted the Golden Sand into liquid gold.
Serena's heart palpitated. This flame was at least a thousand degrees. She was happy that William's strength had increased.
Just as she was thinking, she saw William wave his left hand. A piece of metal that was more dazzling than gold, and the light was so dense that it looked like flowing liquid, appeared in the air and slowly merged with the liquid gold.
Serena only thought for half a second and understood that this was the metal that William had used to make the Devonshire Gold Coins.
However, this time, the proportion of new metal added was much larger. Therefore, the liquid new metal that was melted and mixed together looked much more dazzling than the Devonshire Gold Coins.
Then, this lump of metal slowly stretched and changed shape under the effect of mental strength. Little by little, it revealed the figure of a woman.
Serena looked at the smiling William with some surprise. She looked nervously at the Golden Statue that was about to take shape.
After waiting for a few seconds, Serena, who had an answer in her heart when she saw the Windbreaker of the Statue slowly reveal itself, couldn't help but grab William's left hand. She felt that her heart, which had started beating after sucking Alexander Corvinus' blood, was beating even faster now.
Feeling the grip on his left hand getting stronger, William smiled and turned to look at the blushing Serena. With a thought, the Statue's face turned into a lifelike Serena.
"Looks like I don't have to ask. You must like it a lot, my dear."
"Of course, of course I like it." If it wasn't for the shocking temperature of the Statue, Serena would have grabbed it in her hands.
"It's good that you like it. However, the Statue is still one step away from being completed."
After saying that, William gave a thought and words began to appear on the base of the Statue.
The words were carved out by mental strength. Serena couldn't wait and read it out loud. "To my lover, Serena, William Devonshire."
"Blood God above."
At this moment, Serena couldn't help but hug William's waist with both hands. If it wasn't for the fact that both of them were wearing space armor, they wouldn't just be hugging each other.
Serena, who had her head leaning on William's chest, looked at her Statue with a little infatuation. Then, she said without looking up, "Let's go back to the settlement now, my dear."
