Group 1 - The core discovery by the research team from the Guangzhou Institute of Geochemistry reveals that gold is not formed through extreme geological processes but rather grows from common ore, specifically pyrite, under milder conditions [2] - Scientists estimate that the total gold reserves on Earth are approximately 4.8 billion tons, which means if distributed evenly, each person could theoretically receive about 600 kilograms of gold [1] - The previous belief that gold is brought to the surface through volcanic eruptions and tectonic movements is challenged by the new understanding that most gold is trapped deep within the Earth's core [1] Group 2 - The new method of "alchemy" discovered involves the oxidation and dissolution of ancient gold deposits by natural fluids, which transport soluble gold complexes [2] - A unique "nano workshop" forms at the interface of pyrite, which has a strong adsorption capability, allowing it to capture and concentrate gold atoms into nano-sized particles [2] - This breakthrough opens up possibilities for developing more precise and environmentally friendly technologies to extract gold from traditional waste ores and to guide global searches for new gold deposits [2]
