Interstellar Eternal Life Companion

"This kind of thing is called marble, also called limestone, white with black patterns, and in some places it is also called marble, a metamorphic rock whose scientific name is carbonate rock." Gao Jun reached out his hand to touch the stone slab: "Marble polished It is very beautiful. It is mainly used for processing into various shapes and plates, as the walls, floors, platforms, and columns of buildings, and is also often used as materials for monumental buildings such as monuments, towers, statues, etc. Marble can also be carved Into arts and crafts, stationery, lamps, utensils and other practical works of art. And according to the variety of stones, the naming principles are different, some are named after cough, color, such as Dandong green, Tieling red, etc.; some are named after pattern and color Named, such as Xuehuabai, Aiyeqing; some named after patterns, such as autumn scenery, waves;

Everyone was dizzy when they heard it.

"But pure white marble also has a name called white marble." Gao Jun looked at the familiar stone: "Pure white fine-grained marble is hard and is a high-quality building and carving material. Basically, it does not dissolve in Water. It can be found in the following forms: aragonite, calcite, chalk, limestone, marble, travertine. It can be found in rocks. The main component of animal back shells and snail shells. It is also an important building material."

Few people know that some unscrupulous businessmen also select white marble, that is, white marble, and after careful carving, they can pass off Afghan jade.

Because of the subtle difference between the two, few people can tell the difference with the naked eye, they can only rely on instruments, but if you want to analyze jade, you have to have a little jade shavings, and ordinary merchants will not allow you to scrape on other people's jade mince.

Therefore, jade is a business that tests the eyesight very much.

And it required a lot of accumulated experience, but it took Gao Jun a long time to distinguish the difference between these two stones.

The one in front of me is gray and white marble, which is naturally suitable for barbecue, and because of the oily color, it looks pretty good.

"Wow!" Corinna jumped up and down excitedly for a long time: "Xiaojun is so amazing! I always thought this stone board was a barbecue board."

"This is actually... It's really like what Xiaojun said." Marquis Maurice checked the information, and Xingwang really said that, but the Xingwang said it was not as detailed as Xiaojun said.

Ed immediately told them what happened when they bought jade for Xiaojun.

"No wonder Xingwang now says that the price of Xiuyan jade has fluctuated. This is the first time in thousands of years that the price of jade has been reduced!" Marquis Maurice was surprised: "I heard that the emperor personally ordered someone to do it, because it is related to jade. Quality problems, many jades have this situation, but the jade that looks discolored, the inner energy is not abnormal, but it can't be taken lightly... "

Carmon's father also expressed his opinion: "If the color fades, it would be better if it is a space box? It's just some people's collection..."

The stone barbecue is really delicious, especially the meat is the fattest snowflake beef, marinated just right, and I even heard that "sea intestine powder" was added to enhance the freshness. Now the sea intestine powder is more popular than chicken essence among interstellar people.

The topic of the adults revolved around Gao Jun. He didn’t need to grill the meat. As long as there was no more meat on the plate, there would be grilled meat for him. Besides the grilled meat, he also ate a lot of vegetables, but his The appetite is still small, but he has such a big belly, he will take a rest after eating and drinking, and then go out for a walk. The adults have their own topics to talk about, and Gao Jun also doesn't understand, why is the polyangular planet He was going to have a war of words with the Octopus people next door... After he was full, he took a leave of absence and wandered around the castle, taking a look and digesting food.

Since he changed his teeth and became an adult, Ed's father has been less strict with him. He can leave him for a while, but he can't leave him too far. He is accompanied by a robot butler.

However, Dia, the housekeeper of Countess Corinna's house, also followed him and introduced the whole castle to him: "The castle, there used to be a lot of people living here, but gradually, there are fewer people, and recently Only the Countess is here, it’s great that you can come, there have been no children in the castle for at least 1000 years..."

Dia is a loyal butler. He is the butler who has guarded the Polk family for several generations. He has a detached status and knows Polk Castle best. The battle armor of Dias Fischer, it was the first generation of biological mecha, it was very huge, I showed him the recorded holographic image, the mecha at that time was very clumsy, but people still felt sorry for having such a mecha And cheers….

The castle is very big, Gao Jun's legs became sore after walking around for less than a third of the time, butler Dia took him back to the guest room.

They lived in the castle, and in the palace on the other side, there were people scratching their heads.

"Your Majesty, that little female is very interesting!" The Emperor Xiangyu of this generation was watching his bodyguard Captain Bauer gesticulating at him: "There is no such thing on the star network, but he knows it, so he said it." When we came out, the clerk in the store still wanted to quibble, so he said that he saw it on the star network, and the clerk kept silent. We were afraid that someone would check it out, so we really posted the news on the star network, and then we heard some people Come back and say it's true!"

"Jade's color loss has happened before, but it's not so obvious. Then, what's the matter with Xiuyan jade?" Emperor Xiangyu signed a document with a straight face: "The color loss is so obvious. No one brought up the shortcomings?"

The discoloration of Xiuyan jade has directly affected the quality of the jade. I don't know if the energy will be affected... This is a very serious matter.

Bauer scratched his head: "Generally, they are collected and stored in a space box, and when they are used, they are taken out and used. No one will pay attention to this color-changing..."

Those who can use jade are all kinds of starships, even battleships.

"But there are also people who will leave jade stones for their own use as heirlooms..." This phenomenon has always existed, so Emperor Xiangyu just turned a blind eye. After all, jade has its unique charm, but the quality of jade, There must be enough attention, if it is being played by someone or something, but more jade is used as a power stone, once there is a problem with the power stone, it is tantamount to not paying attention to the lives of those who use the power stone .

Between the stars, once the power to sail is gone, what do you ask the people there to do?

Everything on the starship relies on power stones. Without power stones, not only businesses and people will be hindered, but even the army will be paralyzed.

For so many years, he didn't believe that no one knew that the jade had the most discoloration.

But no one said it all the time. If it wasn't for a mistake, the guards he sent to protect the man heard what the man said, I'm afraid he wouldn't know.

"There are many Xiuyan jade mine stars in the entire interstellar world, and this... there is no way to specify who is behind the scenes..." Rand, the chief executive officer of interstellar jade inspection, said sternly: "Besides, it takes time for this discoloration to happen. To prove it, and the output of Xiuyan jade is also very considerable... It is the most important among the jade orders purchased by the military department."

"Because it is the most jade on the military procurement list, Xiuyan jade will not be used in the future." Emperor Xiangyu swiped his imperial pen: "Change it to other jade, unless Xiuyan jade is the best kind, it will be listed as B." The ones of the lower level are directly changed to civilian use, and they have to be used by transport ships, not for manned starships..."

"This...?" Rand was in a dilemma: "But this time, the orders purchased by the military department have been sent out, and half of the transactions have been sold. If they stop, there will be a lot of liquidated damages."

Even the interstellar empire, even Emperor Xiangyu, must abide by the business contract.

Liquidated damages, the compensation is not only the general point, but also its own commercial credit.

"Then you have to pay for it. All the Xiuyan jade purchased are transferred to the transport ship. They can't be military transport ships, they can only be civilian ones." Emperor Xiangyu didn't let go: "Let's do it."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Rand saluted and hurried to do it.

After a while, another person came, this person was full of heroism, he was a soldier.

"His Majesty."

"How's the investigation going?"

"It has been found out that the biggest supplier of Xiuyan jade is His Highness Xiangtian."

"Xiangtian?" Emperor Xiangyu was taken aback: "Why is it him?"

"He has [-] mine stars, half of which are Xiuyan jade mine stars, and he provides them to the military at a special reserve price to support the military's huge expenditure. This is the case every time, so Xiuyan, which the military buys the most Jade is the jade from his Xiuyan Jade Firm, but outsiders know little about it."

"He didn't tell me?" Emperor Xiangyu looked at the investigation report: "The next time I meet him, ask him."

Both of Xiangtian's parents have passed away, and Emperor Xiangyu watched him grow up. As the only relative with the closest blood, Emperor Xiangyu is actually very optimistic about him, but he didn't expect that when he didn't know, Xiangyu Tian has already given great support to the military department, and supporting the military department is tantamount to supporting him.

Although he doesn't need this kind of silent support, but after knowing it, of course he will be happy.

It’s as if your friend went on a trip and brought you back a peace talisman, saying that he missed you and asked in front of a famous statue to bless you, and it cost 200 yuan.

Of course you should be happy.

If you are not happy and say that this thing is a feudal superstition, and it is only worth five yuan for the cost of production...then are you short-sighted?

Of course, Emperor Xiangyu was not the short-sighted two hundred and five, so he didn't blame his little cousin, but told people not to disturb him, the things were returned, and the liquidated damages were still paid, and then let some transportation companies under the name of the royal family , the kind of robot-controlled transport ship that does not carry people, use this kind of jade, lest my cousin's jade cannot be sold.

After this person left, a few more people came, Emperor Xiangyu had been dealing with everything, and Chief Clapott appeared in front of him like a ghost: "Say, you sent the guards to do it!" What? Those boys all pretended to be dumb to me, and Tietou didn't tell me much, did he go to see the future queen?"

"Yeah, he's here...well, he's closer to me." Emperor Xiangyu stood up, stretched his waist, and looked at the chief executive whose eyes lit up with excitement immediately: "When we get to know each other, we'll get to know each other again." Introduce you."

"Okay, okay! Okay... well?" Chief Clerk Pott nodded in a hurry, but suddenly realized: "What do you mean when you get to know each other?"

"Well... I mean, I know him, and he should know me too, but we... are not very familiar with each other." When Emperor Xiangyu thought that the little guy was nearby, he was in a good mood: "Haven't started pursuing him yet?" .”

"You told me you were going to marry the queen before you even started pursuing it?" Chief Clerk Pott put his hips on his hips, with a very aggressive look: "I've been talking about it for almost 50 years! You little liar!"

"It's not a small lie. You'll know later. I saw a big abalone over there today? Hurry up and take a few back and cook it for Tietou. He loves that one the most." Emperor Xiangyu told him The chief executive of Clappot turned around and pushed towards the kitchen: "I want to eat too."

"How many are enough? At least a few dozen... No!" Chief Clerk Pott was not so easy to dismiss: "You're playing me to change the subject again? It's not working, let me tell you... . "

The author's gossip: Jianghu always thought that Afghan jade is white marble, but after checking the information, I found out that this is not the case. It is misled by some unscrupulous businessmen. They carve the fine products in white marble into objects, such as bracelets, Buddha statues, etc. , known as "Afghan Jade", is actually just white marble. The real Afghan Jade is actually a very beautiful kind of jade.
