Chapter 391: Unscientific Super Giant Diamond
Xie Jianliang was holding a kimberlite rock the size of a ten-pound watermelon in his hand, looking at it, he should have thirty or forty pounds, but the engineer didn't feel heavy at all!
Under the arctic sun, the ore leaned towards Zhang Nan's side and flashed a little light: the surface of the ore was densely interspersed and embedded with at least 30 large and small diamonds!
This is a diamond ore, this is a stone from a mythical story! If he were to change places, Zhang Nan would think that someone was deliberately playing a prank!
Just like the "Great Leap Forward", several fields of rice that are close to maturity are dug up and planted in the same field, creating the illusion of super high yield: anyone in the industry will think that this ore is "processed" at first glance!
The rough diamonds on the surface of the ore vary in size, most ranging in size from 9 mm pistol bullets to one millimeter, and are mostly white, like grains of rock candy embedded in them. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Diamond ore is not like this, this is not a crystal mine!
It's an exaggeration, but if it's just like this, it won't make Xie Jianliang, who is in his 40s, lose his temper: Zhang Nan, the boss, is not an ordinary person, and this kind of goods can't be said to be rich.
I just said "mostly", and that's because there is a huge diamond embedded in the ore!
A real giant diamond is about the size of a tennis ball!
"Where did you find that?"
"The small pit, Jobble just fired a shot, and I wanted to test the diamond content at each point, which Karimi dug with a pickaxe. ā
Zhang Nandu was shocked: such a big diamond, the weight of the rough should be more than 1,000 carats!
Of the 1,000 carats of rough stones, it seems that apart from the "Cullinan", there has never been a rough diamond of more than 1,000 carats!
Here's the problem: until 2016, the largest gem-quality rough diamond ever mined from Canada was 200 carats.
While asking Xie Jianliang, Zhang Nan really wanted to ask this diamond: "Dude, where did you come from? Although Lao Tzu was reborn once, he was not reborn into a fantasy world!"
It's too evil.
Everyone gathered around, and the surprises continued, and even Nicole, who was still sleeping, came out of the tent to see the surprise.
"It's a diamond?!"
Nicole looked incredulous.
"Is it a crystal?"
Zhang Nan asked rhetorically.
"Pinch me. ā
"Oh. ā
Pinch your face directly.
"Ahh
I didn't have time to scold my own man for not being light or heavy, "Guys, let me see!"
Everyone immediately dodged away, and the proprietress wanted to see it, so she had to hurry up and offer diamonds!
Looking around, and then using the magnifying glass handed by Tang Jichao to take a closer look, Zhang Nan was a little worried about whether this woman would go up and bite the diamond.
"Ahh
I was almost amused by my own thoughts.
Here, Xie Jianliang was still sighing for good luck, "...... For many years, I didn't think I would ever see a super diamond dug up! If it wasn't blown up by a blast, Karimi would have been able to go to the Olympics with a pickaxe! Just a little bit, two or three millimeters, would have smashed this giant diamond!
If I had hit it just now, I would have smashed this stone on my head......."
Tang Jichao on the side pulled the overexcited old guy and said with a smile: "You're going to smash Karimi on the head, right?"
"Are you kidding?!Hit him on the head?I'm still smashing my own insurance..."
Everyone was in a very good mood, but Guan Xingquan's bodyguards didn't fully participate in the celebration, although their expressions were very happy, they actually observed the pilots for a while.
The money is moving, but the reaction of the pilots is very satisfying to Guan Xingquan: it is completely like a group of happy company employees, and it seems that these four have a good mentality.
After listening to Xie Jianliang's story of "smashing down with a pickaxe", everyone focused on the ore again, and Nicole also touched the trace on the edge of the giant diamond: almost half of the huge diamond was exposed to the ore, and in the place where the giant diamond was loved, a very clear trace of the pickaxe chisel could be seen!
It's really just a little bit off!
Alyosha asked a seemingly silly question at this time: "Xie Gong, will the diamond break if it is smashed?"
People didn't laugh at the big guys, because it never seemed like anyone was going to do the experiment.
Smashing diamonds?
If you have money, you don't have to play like this!
Zhang Nan couldn't help but interject: "You go and get an industrial drill, the iron plate is mated, and you will know if you hit it with a hammer."
If you want to smash it, you can smash it, and I haven't seen a diamond smash before. āć
Diamonds are the hardest substance in the world, but they are not the toughest, and they will still crumble into slag with a hammer!
However, everyone will not have the time to do a game of hammer smashing diamonds, and they will gather around to admire this shocking giant diamond.
The diamond is white and translucent throughout, with visible etching lines on the surface, indicating that the diamond has been in this state since the day it was born, and has not been broken.
It is complete.
āā¦ā¦ The original Cullinan diamond was actually broken from a large crystal, which is probably due to natural causes, as it was still largely artificially mined.
But at that time, explosives were already used, and now all mechanized equipment is used.
Secondary mines generally do not use blasting and crushing processes, let's ignore them first. But this primary mine is in trouble, and relatively small diamonds are mechanized throughout the mining process, but this kind of superstar diamond will break if one is not careful.
Some of the giant diamonds mined in the past few decades have cracks and traces of breakage, which may have been destroyed during the mining process.
It is a miracle that this giant diamond has been preserved in its entirety...... And it seems that there are not as many giant diamonds found in recent decades as in ancient times, probably because of the blasting and machines. ā
Xiang Zhangsheng's words on the side completely answered Alyosha's doubts: the discovery of this diamond also shows that there is a superstar diamond here, and it is a good phenomenon that cannot be better!
Everyone was still excited and happy, but Guan Xingquan looked at it almost, and walked up and reminded Zhang Nan: "Anan, do you want to go to the collection point and have a look." ā
"Well, okay, right. ā
Zhang Nan clapped his palms, "Take the guys, let's dig and dig again, and see if there is a mother there." ā
Chinese-style jokes, it doesn't matter if Americans don't understand them, just keep up.
"Alyosha, put the stones away first. ā
"Oh. ā
The big guy went straight to the tent to empty a small hiking bag, stuffed the ore into it and carried it on his back, and held a big pickaxe in his hand to indicate that he was ready.
Well, it is worthy of being your own personal bodyguard, the baby does not leave the body, and it is not too heavy!
It was more than a kilometer from here to that collection point, and Alyosha didn't plan to put the ore here, so he was relieved to carry it with him.
Well, neither of the demolitionists had explosives with them, they were both carrying duckbills, and they really thought there would be a mother.
"Happy today, one counts as one, and each person has a bonus of 20,000 yuan. ā
A pilot whispered to Zach on the side, "U.S. dollars or Canadian dollars?"
Zach glanced at the new fellow with a foolish look: "Franklin. ā
