"Ah! God, you are so biased. Why am I not favored by you if I work so hard? ☆→☆→," Langdem's howling cry immediately attracted the attention of many people around him.
"Did you find something? Let's take a look." Several people quickly gathered around.
"Peridot, I'm sure this is a gem-quality peridot, light green peridot." Langdem laughed and said.
"Is it really peridot? How can peridot be found here?"
"What's so strange about this? There was a volcanic lava channel here about 95 million years ago. The volcanic lava at that time, under the action of heat and pressure, formed rich diamonds and peridots, garnets, amethysts, agates and other semi-finished products.
Gemstone resources are now exposed to the surface after corrosion and weathering, and they will naturally be picked up by others."
"I mean, why wasn't it picked up by me?"
"You're out of luck."
"It's so beautiful, brother, you're rich."
Langdem laughed for a while and then said: "Unfortunately, this is not mine, but this brother's."
At this time, Han Peacock had washed away all the soil he had brought, leaving only some small particles of stones.
When he looked at the sun, he saw that it was all stones, not even a peridot.
"How's it going? Did you find anything?" Langdem looked at Han Peacock expectantly and asked.
Han Kongque shook his head and said, "It seems like there is nothing."
"Impossible! How can you get so many pebbles out of just a little bit of soil? How can it be possible that there are no gems? Let's see." As he said that, Langdem exchanged the peridot in his hand for Han Peacock, and he took the sieve.
, look at it carefully.
"You think gems are just like stones?" Someone around laughed and said.
"That's right, it would be great to find a peridot."
"Hey, little brother, I wonder if this peridot is for sale?"
"I'll pay you a thousand dollars."
Han Kongque shook his head and said: "This is the first gem I found here, and I plan to keep it as a souvenir."
"A thousand dollars is quite a lot. Your peridot is ten carats at most, and the market price will not exceed five hundred dollars."
Han Kongque shook his head again and said nothing. He didn't pay attention to the one thousand dollars.
"Just don't sell it. No matter what it is, the bigger it is, the more expensive it is. Naturally, you can't sell it to them so cheaply." At this time, Langdem had given up and continued to look for diamonds.
"Look, this is the result I just got from searching for Peridot." After saying that, Langdem handed a mobile phone to Han Peacock.
Han Kongque smiled, took it and took a look. Unexpectedly, the price of peridot was really not high.
The characteristic of peridot is that there are many small carats, such as about 1 carat, but large carats are extremely rare, such as more than 4 carats, and there are even fewer with particularly good clarity and color, so large carats are very expensive at least.
It costs more than fifty US dollars per carat, but the price for small carats is very affordable, usually less than ten US dollars per carat.
However, this involves things such as purity and cutting. As long as the purity is high and the cut is good, the price will be different.
"So, as long as you don't need money urgently, you still can't sell this gem in a hurry. Many people here want to take advantage, so many people who discovered diamonds and sold them to them have been fooled."
Longham pointed at a few people leaving.
"Aren't those bidders just tourists?" Han Peacock asked.
"Of course they are not ordinary tourists. They are professional treasure hunters who usually look for diamonds here. If others find diamonds or gems, they will bid to buy them. These guys have very vicious eyes. As long as they bid, they must have something.
It’s an advantage,” Longham explained.
Han Kongque nodded. There are many people like this in the domestic stone gambling market. No matter what kind of job there is, as long as there is profit, there will be people doing it. This is not surprising.
"How about it, Langdem, can you help me? If you agreed just now, this peridot will contain one percent of yours." Han Peacock looked at Langdem with a smile.
"You are lucky, and luck will not follow you every day." Langdem said with a smile.
Han Kongque spread his hands and said, "Maybe luck follows me every day? Do you want to?"
"Okay! Anyway, I have no luck. I will do whatever you tell me. I will take care of the food every day, pay with the car, and I will listen to you for everything else." Langdem said with a sly smile.
Han Kongque laughed and said, "You still think I'm going to steal your car money? Okay, it's settled. This is a tool drawing. You go and build me such a tool first. When you come back,
We started looking for diamonds."
Han Peacock smiled and sent Langdem a picture through his mobile phone. It looked like a long-handled shovel, but the shovel in front was cylindrical and a bit long.
If you are Chinese, almost everyone will recognize it. This is the legendary naked sun shovel, which is used for tomb robberies. It is actually used to facilitate the extraction of soil from the ground.
In this diamond park, it is very convenient to use such a tool to detect directly underground.
So after Han Peacock discovered that the ground here was all soil, he thought of this tool. With it, Han Peacock didn't have to bother digging a big hole.
When the time comes, as long as he senses something similar to a crystal in the ground, he will be able to shovel up the perceived crystal very quickly as long as he keeps shoveling it down.
The most important thing is that the handle on such a shovel can be extended, and if necessary, it can even be driven into the ground dozens of meters deep.
Of course, it would be very troublesome to really dig down to dozens of meters. Han Peacock has never thought of doing this. Of course, if he can find fist-sized crystals, not to mention tens of meters, Han Peacock will also dig them up hundreds of meters.
come out, but I think this is unlikely.
When Langdem went to make tools, Han Peacock was not idle either. He wandered around the diamond park. Whenever he discovered something, he would stop and record the coordinates.
Just like that, when Langdem came back two hours later, Han Peacock had already recorded dozens of coordinates.
These coordinates not only mark the location, but also the depth.
"Han, what are you going to use this thing for? Shoveling soil?" Langdom has been wondering since he made this strange shovel.
"Since it's strange, why did you make two of them? Do you know that you are professional only if you have this thing?" Han Peacock said with a smile.
Langdom was also smart. Although he didn't know what the use was, he still made two. In this way, both of them had one each, so they were busy.
"Look, this thing works like this." Han Peacock pulled Langdem to a place. The soil here was very soft, and it seemed that it had been dug frequently.
"Nothing will be found here. The soil has been excavated many times." Longham was a little reluctant.
"Explore four meters deep. If you don't find anything, give up." Han Kongque said.
"Descent?" Longham asked.
Han Peacock used the shovel in his hand to push it down, and then he lifted the shovel and brought up a piece of soil. The soil was put into the round shovel and lifted up.
"Did you see it? Just lift up the soil from the ground. We want the soil below. Maybe there are diamonds in the soil." Han Kongque said with a smile.
Langdem was stunned and said: "Then we might as well use a forklift to dig, that would be faster."
"Then you go hire a forklift. Don't forget to hire more people. Otherwise, you won't be able to sift out the diamonds from the soil dug out by the forklift. All the soil here must be sifted aside. I believe it will be
You can find a lot of diamonds." Han Kongque pointed at the huge diamond park and said.
Langdem stared, not knowing what to say, but compared to screening them all, he didn't feel that using this small shovel to dig out a small hole would increase the chance of finding diamonds.
However, now that Han Kongque is the boss, he can only do what Han Kongque orders.
So Rondham muttered, and began to insert the shovel and lift the soil.
He carefully collected the dirt he brought up. Although he didn't believe there were diamonds in the dirt, it was still the fruit of his labor and he couldn't give it up.
"Go straight down, don't get it wrong. You have to go down four meters here. If I guess correctly, you will find something below four meters." Han Peacock watched as Langdem began to use the shovel skillfully.
, just gave the order and went to look for diamonds elsewhere.
The difference between crystals and stones is not small. When Han Kongque found the first peridot, Han Kongque knew that it would not be difficult for him to find diamonds here.
Other Han Peacock's spiritual senses cannot distinguish, but he can still clearly distinguish hard stones and soil. In addition, the structure of crystals is obviously different from stones, so it is not difficult to distinguish crystals from stones.
.
The places marked by Han Peacock are at least crystals with the characteristics of gemstones. Such crystals are definitely not ordinary stones.
And because there are too many gravels the size of rice, wheat, and bean grains underground, even if Han Kongque's spiritual sense is powerful, he cannot easily find gems among countless gravels. Therefore, Han Kongque's target is,
They are all crystals larger than beans.
It was the first time he used a naked shovel to search for gems. Han Kongque was a little nervous, so he found a target that was the shallowest from the lower level to test his idea.
Here, a crystal that Han Peacock detected was not small. It was less than one meter from the ground and was easy to dig. So Han Peacock just inserted it hard and reached the target.
Lifting it up carefully, Han Peacock poured the soil in the shovel into the small sieve next to it.
Throwing away the shovel, Han Peacock crushed the soil inside and soon saw a white stone.
Yes, it is a white stone with a stone pattern on one side, but the other side is like ice cubes and glass. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
