However, Jiang Cheng stopped these reporters, asking them not to leave in a hurry.

Jiang Cheng had his own reasons for calling these reporters over this time.

The main event hasn’t even started yet; no way Jiang Cheng would let them leave just like that.

”This time we’ve brought back something from Mars; everyone can go ahead and take some photos.

Jiang Cheng still hadn’t revealed the platinum situation—he wanted to maintain the mystery, so when the platinum was exposed, it would have the maximum shock effect.

Upon hearing the mention of items brought back from Mars on the rocket, each reporter abandoned the thought of leaving.

Things brought back from Mars are quite unusual; they wouldn’t want to miss out on such good reporting material.

Very soon, under the hustle of the staff, the rocket’s exterior was completely dismantled, revealing the cargo hold within.

Everyone, please come over here; let’s open the rocket’s cargo hold and see what’s inside.

Here’s a teaser for the audience in front of the TV: don’t be too surprised in a moment; what we’ve brought back this time is sure to blow your minds.

After Jiang Cheng said these words to the camera, he led the way to the door of the rocket cargo hold.

His speech not only piqued the curiosity of the reporters on site but also successfully grabbed the television audiences’ attention.

The viewers watching the live broadcast were ready to change channels once the rocket landed.

But now, Jiang Cheng’s words instantly hooked their curiosity.

It’s unknown what Jiang Cheng brought back from Mars that could prompt such a statement.

They all started to focus their attention, waiting for Jiang Cheng to reveal the final outcome.

Jiang Cheng reached the cargo hold door of the rocket, stretched out his hands to grip the door handles, and forcefully turned the switch on the cargo hold door. The rocket’s cargo hold door slowly opened, revealing the cargo inside.

At the moment Jiang Cheng opened the door, a dazzling light emanated from inside the cargo hold.

This light was so brilliant that the reporters at the cargo hold entrance instinctively shielded their eyes.

Gradually, as they adjusted to the light, they were able to see clearly what was inside the cargo hold.

When everyone finally saw the contents of the cargo hold, they were all stunned by what they saw.

The cargo hold was neatly stacked with piles of platinum ingots, and the light earlier was emitted from these platinum ingots.

The mounds of platinum ingots continuously overwhelmed everyone’s vision, making it hard for them to believe what they were seeing.

These are priceless platinum, platinum with prices higher than gold.

The scene they are seeing is more surreal than any scene in a movie, with mountains of platinum ingots shocking everyone silly.

All the reporters on site were completely dumbstruck by the platinum, even forgetting they were broadcasting live.

The reporters stood foolishly in place, staring directly at the platinum ingots inside the cargo hold.

The TV audience wasn’t much better off; although watching through a TV lacks the impact of witnessing the scene firsthand.

Yet the viewers seeing the TV images were still shocked by what they were witnessing.

My God! Is it really all platinum in there? How much must that be worth?

Are my eyes deceiving me? Am I mistaken, is it really platinum shining inside the cargo hold?

Oh Lord! Could someone tell me if this is real? There’s no way all this is fake, right? How did Jiang Cheng acquire so much platinum!

Each viewer in front of the TV voiced their exclamations aloud.

They couldn’t be blamed for their reactions—the scene was truly overwhelming.

Faced with a cargo hold full of platinum, anyone would react the way they did.

Seeing the reporters dumbfounded, Jiang Cheng proactively took over the hosting duties.

Jiang Cheng spoke to the camera in front of all the viewers: ”Your eyes are not deceiving you; these things are not fake. What you see now is entirely real.

While speaking, Jiang Cheng walked into the cargo hold, touched the platinum ingots with his hand, and continued: ”These are all authentic platinum. I can clearly feel their texture.”

”Right now inside this rocket cargo hold, there are exactly five hundred tonnes of platinum ingots, all with purity exceeding 24K.

These five hundred tonnes of platinum are what we brought back from Mars, shown to everyone today during this live broadcast.

This platinum was mined from Mars and transported back to Earth after refining.

To create a better impact with this platinum, Jiang Cheng began introducing the origin of these platinum ingots.

You should know that the platinum reserves on Mars are extremely abundant, far exceeding Earth’s reserves by countless times.”

That’s why I conceived the idea of mining platinum on Mars, and now this idea has finally been realized.

These platinum ingots are just the first batch; more will be continually transported back to Earth.

Developing outer space is indeed the most sensible choice—because the world out there is far larger than you imagine, possessing much more than the small Earth.

Through this event, I wish to tell everyone that space is humanity’s future!

Lastly, Jiang Cheng emphasized his viewpoint to allow everyone to better accept space development.

Now that there’s such a great opportunity, Jiang Cheng certainly won’t let it slip.

Nothing has more persuasive power than these platinum ingots; they demonstrate the richness of space resources.

With these platinum ingots as evidence, everyone’s enthusiasm for space development is bound to heighten.

The five hundred tonnes of platinum inside the cargo hold has been broadcasted worldwide through television signals.

And Jiang Cheng’s words, accompanied by the TV images, penetrated deeply into everyone’s hearts.

Everyone now realizes a fact—that Earth is indeed too impoverished.

The immensely abundant platinum on Mars has actually become one of Earth’s most rare resources.

Now, everyone begins to yearn for outer space, filled with wealth like these platinum ingots.

Triggering people’s enthusiasm for developing space wasn’t the largest impact of this event.

The biggest impact was on platinum prices—such a large amount of platinum caused a collapse in the international platinum trading price.

Especially with Jiang Cheng saying more platinum will be continually transported, causing the platinum price to instantly drop to its lowest in history, even only half of its original price.

Platinum prices plummeted by half immediately, and this is only temporary. If subsequent platinum is transported to Earth.

This metal, originally used for making jewelry, may soon be excluded from the precious metals category.

If a metal has such large production, what qualifications does it have to be considered a precious metal?

Scarcity brings value, and precious metals should indeed be rare.

If platinum prices continue to fall significantly, Jiang Cheng would actually start to lose money.

Because transportation costs haven’t dropped, but the transported cargo has already depreciated.
