Iindaba

NgoSeptemba ophelileyo, umthengisi wegolide kwisiXeko saseNew York uchithe i-72,000 yeedola kwelona phupha lakhe libi kakhulu: izitena zegolide zomgunyathi.Ii-counterfeits ezine ze-10-ounce zinezo zonke iimpawu zegolide zokwenene, kubandakanywa neenombolo ze-serial.Oku kuyoyikeka kakhulu xa ucinga ukuba bangaphi abantu abanegolide-okanye ucinga ukuba banegolide.
Bendingumntu othanda igolide yobuxoki ukusukela oko umbhali uDamien Lewis wabhala igama lam kwincwadi yakhe yentlola ngo-2007 ethi The Golden Cobra.Amava am okutyholwa ngokudala igolide yobuxoki yintsomi esulungekileyo, kodwa ndisathathwa njengomthombo kulo mbandela.Ndigqibe ekubeni lixesha lokufowunela iBluff yam kwaye ndenze iibha zegolide zobuxoki.
Endaweni yokujula ii-oz ze-10, ndiphose imodeli yekeyiki ene-2 ​​kg (4.4 lb), emalunga nobukhulu beqebengwana leqebengwana.Ikeyiki eleleyo enobunzima obungaphaya kweeponti ezine?Ewe, igolide ixinene kakhulu, ide ijike ngakumbi kunelothe.Umgunyathi olungileyo kufuneka ube nobunzima obuchanekileyo kunye nento enye kuphela, eshinyeneyo njengegolide, hayi iradioactive kwaye ayibizi.Le yi-tungsten, exabisa ngaphantsi kwe-50 yeedola ngeponti.
Ukwenza umgunyathi okholisayo, abarhwebi banokugalela undoqo we-tungsten kwigolide etyhidiweyo.Ubunzima bemivalo yegolide buphantse bugqibelele, kwaye xa kugrunjwa imingxuma engekho nzulu, kufumaneka igolide yokwenene kuphela.Ibha yegolide yeekhilogram ezimbini eveliswayo ithengiswa malunga ne-15,000 yeedola kwaye "ixabiso" malunga ne-110,000 yeedola.Kuba kuye kwafuneka ndisebenze kuhlahlo lwabiwo-mali oluphantsi lwePopSci kwaye andinguye ulwaphulo-mthetho, ndazinza ngokunkqonkqoza ngezinto ezixabisa i-200 yeedola.
Ndafakela undoqo wetungsten kwialloyi yelothe kunye ne-antimony, emalunga nobulukhuni obufana negolide.Ngale ndlela ivakala kwaye ivakala kakuhle xa iphathwa kwaye icofwa.Emva koko ndombathisa ingxubevange ngegqabi legolide lokwenyani, ndinike iintsimbi umbala wam wokutyikitya kwaye zikhazimle.
Umgunyathi wam awuyi kuqhatha nabani na ixesha elide (uzipho lwakho lunokukrwela ifoyile yegolide), kodwa lukhangeleka kwaye luvakala lukhulu, xa luthelekiswa nebha yegolide eqinileyo eyi-3.5 oz.Okanye ubuncinci ndicinga ukuba yinyani.
Amanqaku anokuthi aqulathe amakhonkco adibeneyo, okusivumela ukuba sifumane isabelo sayo nayiphi na into ethengiweyo.Ubhaliso okanye ukusetyenziswa kwesi siza kuthetha ukwamkelwa kweMigqaliselo yethu yeNkonzo.© 2024 Rhoqo.Onke Amalungelo Agciniwe.
