Gahunda ya Hokie Gold Legacy yemerera abanyeshuri barangije muri Virginia Tech gutanga impeta zo mu ishuri zashongeshejwe kugirango zikore zahabu yo gukoresha mu mpeta zo mu cyiciro kizaza - umuco uhuza ibyahise, ibya none n'ibizaza.
Travis “Rusty” Untersuber yuzuye amarangamutima ubwo avuga kuri se, impeta ya se yo mu 1942, impamyabumenyi ya miniature ndetse n'umwanya wo kongera umurage w'umuryango muri Virginia Tech. Amezi atandatu ashize, we na bashiki be ntibazi icyo gukora impeta yababyeyi babo bapfuye. Noneho, kubwamahirwe, Untersuber yibutse gahunda ya Hokie Gold Legacy gahunda, yemerera abarangije cyangwa umuryango wabanyeshuri gutanga impeta zo mucyiciro, bakayishonga kugirango bakore zahabu ya Hokie kandi bayishyire mu mpeta z'icyiciro kizaza. Habaye ikiganiro cyumuryango bemera kwitabira gahunda. Winterzuber ati: "Nzi ko gahunda ibaho kandi nzi ko dufite impeta." “Amezi atandatu gusa ashize bari kumwe.” Mu mpera z'Ugushyingo, Entesuber yatwaye amasaha 15 avuye mu mujyi yavukiyemo wa Davenport, muri Iowa, yerekeza i Richmond gusura umuryango mu biruhuko byo gushimira. Yaje gusura Blacksburg yitabira umuhango wo gushonga impeta muri VTFIRE Kroehling Advanced Materials Foundry ku kigo cya Virginia Tech. Ibirori byo gutanga ibihembo, byabaye ku ya 29 Ugushyingo, bikorwa buri mwaka kuva mu mwaka wa 2012 ndetse bikaba byaranabaye umwaka ushize, nubwo abaperezida b’icyiciro cya 2022 bonyine bitabiriye kubera gukumira coronavirus kubuza umubare w’abantu bemerewe kwinjira mu bigo. Uyu muco udasanzwe wo guhuza ibyahise n'ibizaza byatangiye mu 1964, ubwo abasirikare babiri bo muri Sosiyete M yo muri Virginia Tech Cadets - Jesse Fowler na Jim Flynn - batangaga igitekerezo. Laura Wedin, umuyobozi wungirije w’abanyeshuri n’abasore barangije amashuri, ahuza gahunda yo gukusanya impeta kubanyeshuri bifuza ko impeta zabo zishonga n'amabuye. Ikurikirana kandi impapuro zimpano hamwe na nyiri impeta bios kandi ikohereza imeri yemeza iyo impeta yatanzwe yakiriwe. Byongeye kandi, Ubukwe bwahuje umuhango wo gushonga zahabu, urimo Almanac yimpanda yerekana umwaka impeta ya zahabu yashongeshejwe. Impeta zatanzwe zimanikwa kurupapuro rusange rwabanyeshuri cyangwa abarangije, hanyuma umwe mubagize komite ishinzwe impeta yimura buri mpeta muri grafite ikomeye kandi akavuga izina ryabanyeshuri cyangwa abize cyangwa abo bashakanye bambaye impeta kandi umwaka wo kwiga. Mbere yo gushyira impeta mubintu bya silindrike.
Ant Zuber yazanye impeta eshatu zigashonga - impeta ya se, impeta ntoya ya nyina nimpeta yubukwe bwumugore we Doris. Untersuber n'umugore we bashakanye mu 1972, muri uwo mwaka arangije. Nyuma y'urupfu rwa se, impeta y'ishuri ya se yahawe na mushiki we Kaethe na nyina, maze Kaethe Untersuber yemera gutanga impeta mu gihe habaye impanuka. Nyuma y'urupfu rwa nyina, impeta ntoya ya nyina yasizwe n'umugore we Doris Untersuber, wemera gutanga impeta mu rubanza. Se wa Untersuber yaje muri Virginia Tech kuri bourse y'umupira w'amaguru mu 1938, yari umusirikare muri Virginia Tech kandi akora mu gisirikare nyuma yo kubona impamyabumenyi ijyanye n'ubuhinzi. Se na nyina bashakanye mu 1942, impeta ntoya yabaye impeta yo gusezerana. Untersuber kandi yatanze impeta y'ishuri kumyaka 50 arangije muri Virginia Tech umwaka utaha. Ariko, impeta ye ntabwo yari imwe mu mpeta umunani zashongeshejwe. Ahubwo, Virginia Tech irateganya kubika impeta ye muri “time capsule” yubatswe hafi ya Burroughs Hall mu rwego rwo kwizihiza isabukuru yimyaka 150 iyi kaminuza imaze ishinzwe.
Ati: "Dufite amahirwe yo gufasha abantu kwiyumvisha ejo hazaza no kugira ingaruka, no gutuma abantu batekereza kubibazo nka," Nigute nshobora gushyigikira ikibazo? " na 'Nakomeza nte umurage?' ”Untersuber ati. “Gahunda ya Hokie Gold ni yombi. Irakomeza imigenzo kandi itegereje kureba uko tuzakora impeta ikurikira. … Umurage utanga ni uw'agaciro kuri njye n'umugore wanjye. Ni uyu munsi. Niyo mpamvu dutanga Untersuber ebyiri, zakurikiye inzira ya se kandi yabonye impamyabumenyi ijyanye n’ubuhinzi mbere yo gukora mu nganda zikoreshwa mu buhinzi none akaba yarasezeye, yitabiriye umuhango ari kumwe n’abanyamuryango benshi bagize komite ishinzwe impeta na perezida y'Icyiciro cya 2023 Iyo impeta imaze kuzuzwa, ingenzi ijyanwa mu ruganda, aho inzira yose ikurikiranwa na Alan Drushitz, umwungirije wungirije ushinzwe ubumenyi bwa siyansi. Amaherezo amaherezo ashyirwa mu itanura rito ryashyutswe kuri dogere 1.800, kandi mu minota 20 zahabu ihinduka muburyo bwamazi. Perezida wa komite ishinzwe gushushanya impeta Victoria Hardy, umuto ukomoka i Williamsburg, muri Virijiniya, uzarangiza mu 2023 afite impamyabumenyi y’ubukanishi n’ubumenyi bwa mudasobwa, yambara ibikoresho byo gukingira kandi akoresha pliers kugira ngo akure ingenzi mu itanura. Yahise asuka zahabu yuzuye mumazi, abemerera gukomera mukabari gato ka zahabu. Hardy yagize ati: "Ntekereza ko ari byiza." Ati: “Buri cyiciro gihindura imiterere yimpeta, ndumva rero imigenzo ubwayo idasanzwe kandi ifite imiterere yayo buri mwaka. Ariko iyo urebye ko buri cyiciro cyimpeta zicyiciro kirimo Hokie Gold yatanzwe nabanyeshuri barangije na komite yababanjirije, buri cyiciro kiracyahujwe cyane. Hano hari ibice byinshi kumigenzo yose yimpeta kandi ndatekereza ko iki gice ari icyemezo cyubwenge cyo gutanga ubudahwema aho buri cyiciro kikiri gitandukanye cyane. Ndabikunda kandi ndabyishimiye. Twashoboye kuza ku ruganda maze tukabigiramo uruhare. ”
Impeta zashongeshejwe kuri dogere 1.800 Fahrenheit hanyuma zahabu isukuye isukwa muburyo bwurukiramende. Ifoto tuyikesha Kristina Franusich, Ikoranabuhanga rya Virginia.
Akabari ka zahabu mu mpeta umunani ipima 6.315. Ubukwe bwahise bwohereza akabari ka zahabu i Belfort, ikora impeta zo mu cyiciro cya Virginia Tech, aho abakozi batunganyaga zahabu bakayikoresha mu guta impeta zo mu cyiciro cya Virginia Tech mu mwaka wakurikiyeho. Babika kandi amafaranga make cyane kuri buri gushonga kugirango binjizwe mumashanyarazi mumyaka iri imbere. Uyu munsi, buri mpeta ya zahabu irimo 0.33% "Hoki zahabu". Nkigisubizo, buri munyeshuri ahujwe nikigereranyo nuwahoze arangije Virginia Tech. Amafoto na videwo byafashwe bishyirwa ku mbuga nkoranyambaga, byerekana inshuti, abo mwigana ndetse na rubanda ku muco gakondo wasaga nkabamenye. Icy'ingenzi cyane, nimugoroba watumye abanyeshuri bari bahari batekereza ku murage wabojo hazaza ndetse no kuzitabira ejo hazaza mu mpeta zabo. Hardy yagize ati: "Rwose ndashaka guhuriza hamwe komite no gukora ikintu gishimishije nko kongera kujya mu ruganda no gutanga impeta." Ati: “Ahari ni nko kwizihiza yubile y'imyaka 50. Sinzi niba bizaba impeta yanjye, ariko niba aribyo, nzishima kandi nizere ko dushobora gukora ikintu nkicyo. Ati: "Ubu ni inzira nziza yo kuvugurura impeta. Ndatekereza ko bizaba bike "Sinkibikeneye ukundi" kandi bisa nk "" Ndashaka kuba umwe mumigenzo minini, "niba ibyo byumvikana. Nzi ko aya azaba amahitamo yihariye kubantu bose babitekereza. “
Birumvikana ko Antsuber, umugore we na bashiki be bemezaga ko iki ari cyo cyemezo cyiza ku muryango wabo, cyane cyane nyuma yuko bane muri bo bagiranye amarangamutima yibuka ingaruka Virginia Tech yagize ku buzima bw'ababyeyi babo. Bararize nyuma yo kuvuga ingaruka nziza. Winterzuber yagize ati: "Byari amarangamutima, ariko nta gushidikanya." “Tumaze kumenya icyo dushobora gukora, twamenye ko ari ikintu tugomba gukora - kandi twashakaga kubikora.”
Virginia Tech irerekana ingaruka binyuze mu nkunga yatanzwe ku isi, iteza imbere iterambere rirambye ry’abaturage bacu muri Commonwealth ya Virginia ndetse no ku isi yose.
