One step closer to reality every day

Chapter 418 Colored Diamond
The stone mixed with mud and water was washed in the water again, revealing its original appearance.

"blue?"

Feng Yi looked at the clear blue, translucent stone in his hand.

It is like a colored glass brick that has been smashed and pressed against the hand.Very textured.

The surface is not smooth and uneven.The overall shape is slightly flat, obviously not that kind of complete crystal structure, it should be a part of a large crystal.

As far as Feng Yi perceives, there is only one nearby area that has the same origin as it.

As for why there is only such a part of a certain large crystal left...

Well, maybe, it was consumed.

The rough diamond in his hand must have been buried here for a long time.

After the transformation of this mining area, the elutriation area has been obviously rebuilt, and it has expanded a lot closer to the river. This is one of the expansion areas.Due to the increase in the flow of tourists, the mine will also be cleaned here regularly.

Even if there is no Feng Yi, this blue translucent stone will be discovered someday in the future.

Feng Yi made it available in advance.

Its ownership will also be finalized in advance.

Feng Yi looked at the blue stone in his hand: he thought: Ah, this is what the ancestors used to pave the ground in the dream...

"Diamond!!!"

Not far away, there was a scream like a pheasant crowing.

It was a diamond prospector who was nearby, and he still wore a tour group hat on his head.

Many people nearby fell silent because of his roar, and everyone looked over

Even the nearby people who were sluggish from the sun and looking for a cool place to lie down and squint, sat up in shock, and instantly froze, with bright eyes.

Then, they found Feng Yi, who was almost half of his body standing in the water, holding a blue translucent object in one hand.

After a moment of silence.

"Hahaha--"

The people who looked at this side broke out into bursts of laughter.

"This is a modern industrial product, how did it break like this?"

There are many examples of mistaking fragments of glass or crystal objects for diamonds.

The person who yelled just now was also very embarrassed at this time.He was panning for diamonds when he saw the young man pick up something from the water.

At first he thought the young man was out of luck and stepped on a stone in the water.I was complaining in my heart that the staff of the mine were passive and sabotage. This place has not been cleaned for a long time, and it is very dirty.

But soon, when the young man picked up the stone and washed it, is this thing a diamond? !
When excited, he yelled.

Forgive him for his ignorance, he has no common sense and experience in life in this area.

"Hey, I was impulsive, sorry everyone." He said apologetically.

But other people didn't stop there, and some people booed:
"Scratch it, try its hardness, and see if it's a diamond!"

"You can directly ask the appraisers in the mining area to help with the appraisal. They are working now."

"Is it identified as a jewelry-level modern handicraft? Hahaha!"

The tourists in the Taoxi area suddenly became a mess.

Too fake!It's definitely not a diamond!
How can there be such a large colored diamond! ! !

There was laughter here, but Feng Yi had already come out of the water, politely smiled back at everyone's booing, be it in good faith or maliciously, and said in response: "Yes, I plan to go to the mine appraiser to have a look. "

In the eyes of most tourists, there must be very embarrassing eyes behind the pair of sunglasses on Feng Yi's face.

And as Feng Yi got up and left, some tourists in the cleaning area also followed.

Anyway, I haven't found a diamond yet, so I might as well follow the past and have a look.

Some people wanted to strike up a conversation, others wanted to watch the fun, and some took videos with their mobile phones, probably wanting to post them on the Internet for fun.

In the diamond mining area where there is a tourist project every year, the tourists did not find many serious things, but took out all kinds of strange objects, and the videos were posted on the Internet for fun and attracted a lot of attention.

Xiao Jia and Xiao Ding have already walked over quickly, standing on both sides of Feng Yi.

Mark and Cai Bin followed closely behind.

Cai Bin didn't take it seriously at first, but Mark, who had been nagging beside him, was rarely silent at this time.

So Cai Bin asked: "What do you think?"

Mark shook his head and said nothing.

Mark now only feels his forehead jumping suddenly, and has a premonition that something big is about to happen.

He raised his eyes to look at Feng Yi in front of him again.

This mysterious young employer carried a strange contradiction, whether it was real or not, Mark couldn't tell.Every time I feel that I have spotted it, but the next moment I find a layer of fog covering it, the original positioning is constantly overturned, and I can't see it clearly.

In the situation before him, Mark's first reaction was the same as everyone else's, he didn't think it was a rough diamond, but then another absurd and unbelievable idea popped up.

The most unlikely voice in my heart screamed frantically.

Mark's breathing became heavy.

What if?
What if it was really a diamond?

Looking around, when his eyes swept over the security guards in the mining area, Mark's blood that had just boiled up cooled down again.

If the one in the owner's hand is a real diamond, something big will happen!

Diamonds are dug here, small ones are okay, but big ones cannot be taken out!
At this moment, Mark really wanted to reach out and grab his employer's footsteps.

Can't!You can't go through these processes at this time!

You should run away with this thing!
Just make them think you're holding broken glass!

Can't you find someone to appraise it after leaving here is safe? !
In front, the number of spectators increased again.

The tourists who were digging ore in the mining area saw the movement over there and asked someone to ask.

I heard that someone found a particularly large object that was suspected to be a remnant of modern craftsmanship, and it was important to use it to identify whether it was a diamond.

There are many slots and no mouths.But it does not prevent them from watching the fun.

"Where is where?"

"Pfft! Hahaha!" Someone laughed unceremoniously.

Tourists standing on the side holding hats and fanning the wind gathered together to discuss.Digging diamonds can't find anything, it's too boring, and it's rare to have any fun.

"I just ran over to take a picture, and it's the blue stone that this person is holding in his hand."

"Did you say the thing he dug up was a diamond?"

"If it's really a diamond, can't you get rich overnight?"

"Is there anyone who sees this thing?"

"How long is the appraisal? Where is the appraisal?"

Tourists who don't know anything talk about it in a relaxed tone.

Because in many people's minds, "pigeon eggs" are used to describe the size of diamonds.

Damn, ostrich eggs, right? !
Saying ostrich eggs is an exaggeration, but they are really big!

So big no one wants to believe it!

The message passing among the members of the tour group is extremely fast.

The tourists who were relatively close to the person in charge of the mine, holding the mentality that watching the excitement is not a big deal, shouted for the person in charge of the mine to come out.

After the transformation of the mine, because tourists will dig diamonds from time to time, there will always be appraisers on duty during the opening hours of the mine.

As long as it is identified as a diamond, the diamonds dug by tourists will be recovered based on a comprehensive valuation based on the weight and clarity of the diamonds.

Of course, there are also tourists who choose not to sell it and keep it as a souvenir, especially those small particles that are too small to sell for a price, and even the ticket is not worth it. It is better to keep it as a souvenir.

The appraiser was called out.

Feng Yi went over with the "stone".

Rough diamonds are uncut and don't have that sharp gleam when the sun shines on them.

Feng Yi looked at it, and what he thought of in his mind was not the appearance after he cut it, but the stones paving the ground in the cave where his ancestors lived in the dream.

Look at the size of the stone, and then look at your palm.

Ordinary small stones that pave the way can be easily pinched by adults with two fingers, but for young children, they need one hand to hold them firmly.

This is the size difference.

The "little stone" used by the ancestors to pave the road, if a piece of it falls off, it can cover half of Feng Yi's palm.

"I can't keep up with my development!"

It's hard to imagine that under such circumstances, Feng Yi's mind turned out to be such a thing.

"Whoa, that's a super big guy!"

The security guard of the mining area spoke with a hint of ridicule in his tone, obviously he didn't think it was really a rough diamond.

Do rough diamonds look like this?so big?

Anyway, he has been working in the mining area all these years and has never seen him.

Another mine worker came over and said politely, "Do I need to clean it up for you?"

It means to help Feng Yi wash the stones.

Feng Yi didn't give in, just said to come by himself.

The man said considerately again: "This way please, there are cleaning tools here."

Feng Yi was not worried that this thing would be snatched away, he rinsed it himself, just slightly washed the surface of the rough diamond, and would not rub the substances on the surface of the rough diamond vigorously.

He still wants to keep the study of his ancestors.

Those things that look like stains on the surface may not necessarily be the target of his research, but what if?
Let's keep it for now, and then clean them up after confirming that they are useless.

It is impossible for Feng Yi to use those powers that are different from ordinary people to study diamonds under the watchful eyes of everyone. Therefore, the study, the special rough diamond "patina" left by the ancestors, can only be discussed after going back.

The rough diamonds cleaned again were handed over to the appraiser.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the appraiser's expression became more and more dignified, and then he became excited, his face flushed, and he even lost his composure.

"Yes, it's true..."

"It's real!"

The appraiser weighed the rough diamond again.

"2971! 2971 carats!"

1 carat = 0.2 grams

That's a lot of weight!

This data is not accurate, some sundries on the diamond have not been cleaned up, but overall comparison, the number is not much different, so I know the approximate location.

A little regret flashed in the appraiser's eyes.

If this rough diamond breaks from the original large crystal with a small piece, the world record holder for the largest rough diamond may have to be changed.

The world record holder "Cullinan" rough diamond is 3106 carats.

but!

The appraiser's voice was trembling with excitement.

"It's rich blue!!"

"It's not the largest natural rough diamond ever recorded, but it is definitely the largest natural colored diamond on record!"

The appraiser looked at this stone, as if he saw through it a set of gorgeous ornaments that appeared in the top-level safe after carving, as if he saw the quiet, elegant, beautiful and charming light shining from those ornaments.

At that time, how many top rich people would be crazy to collect a whole set? !

The more I think about it, the more my throat feels dry and I need to quench my thirst
The appraiser looked at a security guard in the mining area, who nodded, meaning that he had contacted the mine owner Tamar.

After receiving the news, Tamar rushed over quickly, without even looking at Feng Yi, touched her bearded chin, and seemed to be wiping the saliva that hadn't flowed out:

"The color is beautiful. How's the clarity?"

The appraiser just glanced at him.

Nothing was said.

But he also said everything.

The two have worked together many times.

Tamar raised her brows, her face still didn't change much, but she looked like a tiger about to ambush its prey.

Xiao Jia walked over and took the diamond from the appraiser.

The appraiser didn't let go, but Xiao Jia pulled hard.

The appraiser's eyes were still glued to the rough diamond. Seeing Xiaojia's rude actions, he couldn't help saying: "Be careful! Although it is hard, it needs to be treated with care. I swear you don't know how rare it is."

Xiao Jia returned a polite smile perfunctorily.

Xiaojia's heart: What are diamonds, I swear you have never seen anything rarer than diamonds...creatures!
Xiao Jia remained calm on the surface, and handed the diamond to Feng Yi.

At this time, Mark saw that others were paying attention to him, so he retreated quietly, trying to stay away from Feng Yi's position as far as possible, so that he could conflict later and escape from the battlefield quickly.

This guy is such a stupid employer with a lot of money... Alas, silent condolences.

Cai Bin's heart sank. He had been making calls since just now.He wants to call the police!
The people in the mine noticed Cai Bin's movements, but they didn't care.

Tamar said to Feng Yi at this time: "Give it to me."

Feng Yi said lightly: "This is mine."

The security guards in the surrounding mining area surrounded him.

Tamar smiled.

He looked at a young man in sunglasses in front of him.

From his point of view, the person in front of him might just be someone with a little money, who came out to play with two or three people around him to protect his safety.

Because Feng Yi was wearing sunglasses, Tamar couldn't see what Feng Yi's expression was at this time, and wondered if there was panic in his eyes.

On Feng Yi's sunglasses, only Tamar's own figure was printed.

Tamar clearly had a smile on his face, but there was not much smile in his eyes. It was more like a tiger locking its prey with its bloody mouth open and its sharp teeth showing.

He stared at Feng Yi, his voice still suppressed in a very gentle range.

"Give you a chance, tell me again, who owns this blue diamond?"

Feng Yi: "Mine."

At this time, there was a voice in the air, from far to near, it sounded like there was still a little momentum.

Everyone present looked at the sky.

One, two, three, four... nine, ten!

Ten helicopters!
Moreover, more than half of the ten planes are armed and have combat needs!

Here comes the question, my own territory, why such a serious situation suddenly appeared at this time?Tamar looked serious.

Is there some confidential mission they don't know about?
Is there some misunderstanding or hidden conflict?
However, seeing these helicopters flying towards this direction, Tamar wanted to say something but said nothing, her lips trembled, and then looked at Feng Yi again.

Looking at this unknown tourist with a new look.

Mark, who was retreating outside, paused, observed for a while, and then quickly came back.

Well, at a time like this, I should stand firmly by my dear employer's side!

Never give up!
