treasure hunter

"Of course." A crisp voice appeared, and everyone turned their heads, only to see Chen Wei leading a group of people from their company behind them.

Seeing Chen Wei, Li Xueyang frowned instinctively.

Chen Wei continued: "More than 20 tons of emeralds have appeared, but this stone is only [-] tons. Even if there are a lot of emeralds in it, at most ten tons of emeralds can be cut out."

Pei Miao asked with a smile, "Is your company interested in this stone?"

Chen Wei said: "Our expert team has already seen this stone, Pei Miao, can you check this stone for me?"

Pei Miao said: "I just arrived, I haven't had time to see it yet, are you sure you want to use up this opportunity?"

Now Chen Wei hesitated, today is the last day of open bidding, and tomorrow will be the most important hidden bidding in Dagongpan. Surely there will be a lot of good stuff.

The most important thing is that the expert group of their company did not offer a high price for this giant stone. The three experts quoted 3200 million, 3600 million, and 4000 million respectively.

This quotation is the upper limit price, which is the valuation of the emerald cut out of this stone.

Such an offer made Chen Wei hesitate.

The bigger the stone, the greater the risk, because the bigger the stone, the thicker the shell, the larger the space inside, the greater the variables, and it is full of too many unknowns. It is relatively conservative, but even if it is conservative, the quotations given by these experts are too low. According to Chen Wei's experience, the transaction price of this stone must exceed [-] million.

After Chen Wei hesitated for a moment, she said slowly, "Let me think about it again."

Pei Miao said: "Don't think about it, you have thought about it, what should I do?"

Chen Wei looked at him suspiciously: "What do you mean?"

Pei Miao said: "I have to look at the stone too. It's the first time I've seen such a big rough jadeite. I want to take a look. If this stone performs well, I want to take a gamble. You've taken a fancy to it." This stone, now hesitating again, made me dare not look at this stone."

Chen Wei could understand what Pei Miao said, Pei Miao was able to see through, if Pei Miao saw this stone through perspective, and knew the true value of this stone, it would be different.

Why is it different? If this stone is a broken stone, that would be fine. If there are many and good jadeites in this stone, worth hundreds of millions or more, but Chen Wei is hesitant about this stone. Whether Pei Miao will take it or not, it makes Pei Miao a little bit embarrassed.

Chen Wei said: "Give me 1 minute."

Chen Wei turned around and called the three stone gambling experts aside, and communicated with them in a low voice for a while, exactly one minute later, Chen Wei came back to Pei Miao, and said, "Forget it, I'll use the rest of my chances for hidden bids." Let’s go, this time the secret mark is claimed to have 1 yuan mark stones, with such a huge base, there must be more and better stones, and good steel should be used on the blade.”

Pei Miao nodded, "Okay, then I'll look at this stone myself."

Chen Wei said: "Please."

Pei Miao asked with a smile, "Have you really thought about it? For such a big stone, if the bet goes up, it may be more than a billion."

Chen Wei also smiled slightly, and said: "I really think about it, let me leave this good opportunity to you, after all, it is the first time you have seen such a huge giant rough stone, besides... seeing your bet soaring, I will Also very happy."

Seeing Chen Wei showing such a childlike attitude, Li Xueyang behind couldn't stand still, strode to Pei Miao's side, and said, "What are you talking about?"

Chen Wei could tell that Li Xueyang was very unfriendly to her, but she didn't mind at all, and said with a calm smile, "Pei Miao and I are talking about this rock."

Pei Miao nodded, "That's right, we're talking about this giant rock."

Li Xueyang said: "I want to talk too! I bet two pieces of glass made of imperial green!"

Pei Miao was speechless, and couldn't find anything to refute, so she could only say, "Okay, let's talk, let's talk about your views on this stone."

"This..." Li Xueyang turned her head and looked at the big rock. She didn't know what to say for a while. She hesitated for a long time, and suddenly she pointed to the big rock and said, "What do you think this rock is?" Cut it open? Is there such a big stone breaker?"

When she asked, other people also said: "Yes, yes, I also want to ask how such a big stone was cut, and it was cut so smooth and smooth."

Pei Miao was stunned for a moment, this question... touched his blind spot in knowledge.

Although he had read many books about stone betting and the Jade King's stone betting notes, none of those books and notes recorded how this huge stone was cut.

It was the same in the first place, whether it was a book on stone betting or a book on stone betting, it was all about teaching others how to bet on stones, so how could it be possible to teach others how to use stone tools.

Li Xueyang looked at Pei Miao with a look of thirst for knowledge, and everyone had almost the same expression, all looking at Pei Miao, Pei Miao was under a lot of pressure, so he could only helplessly spread his hands and said: "Don't look at me, I don't know either."

Behind Chen Wei, the stone gambling expert who thought his hair was a little gray said with disdain: "I don't know what Minister Chen thinks, but he actually asked such a young boy who doesn't know anything to check it out. He simply doesn't believe us."

A stone gambling expert next to him coughed lightly and said in a low voice, "Old Gao, don't say a few words."

However, it was still too late, Chen Wei looked back at the expert surnamed Gao, and said: "Mr. Gao, if you are dissatisfied with my behavior, you can complain to the head office."

Although Chen Wei's words are not serious, they are already warning this high expert. Her surname is Chen, and this jewelry company belongs to her family. Even if she doesn't hold any shares in the company, it is not him Stone gambling experts can make irresponsible remarks.

Expert Gao blushed at what she said, and hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, I made a slip of the tongue, I'm impatient, Minister Chen, don't worry about it."

"Don't do it next time." Chen Wei said coldly, turned to look at Li Xueyang, and said, "I know how this giant rough stone was cut, do you want to hear it?"

Li Xueyang rolled his eyes when he heard the words: "Do you like to talk or not."

Chen Wei didn't care about her eccentric attitude, and said, "This was cut with a wire saw."

"Wire saw?" Pei Miao asked after hearing the words, "What kind?"

Chen Wei said: "You can use your mobile phone to search the Internet, and you should be able to find it on a certain treasure."

After hearing the words, everyone picked up their mobile phones to open a certain treasure, and entered the keyword "wire saw."

Pei Miao found a wire saw on a certain treasure, and found that this thing is actually very simple. It is a diesel engine with a very long chain like a rope.

The principle is to turn the rope-like chain with a diesel engine. The rope passes through the giant stone and slides continuously, grinding the stone away bit by bit, and the more it grinds, the deeper it is until it is cut.

The rope-like chain is not an ordinary rope. If you zoom in, there are steel balls on the rope. The steel balls should be glued together with high-strength glue, which can withstand a lot of pulling force, and the steel balls are cutting An important prop for boulders, the cut surface of the stone cut out in this way is smooth and flat. Of course, compared with the chain saw, it is much inferior.

In theory, as long as the rope is long enough and the power of the diesel engine is strong enough, no matter how big a rock you are, you can use a wire saw to cut it, but it takes a lot of time to cut a huge rock. From the comment area, it can be seen that someone cut a piece It took nearly [-] hours to cut eight tons of stones, and some netizens left comments below, saying that his diesel engine was too small, and he needed to replace it with one with xxx horsepower. Ten hours would be enough.

Ah Fa looked at the wire saw on the phone, and said with a smile: "So there is such a magic weapon, Pei Miao, should we get one for emergencies?"

Pei Miao nodded: "Sure, I'll place an order right away, it's not expensive anyway."

As Pei Miao spoke, she poked her finger on the phone, and the order was successfully placed. This thing is actually quite expensive, but considering Pei Miao's current economic capacity, it is not very expensive.

"Buy it." Pei Miao said, "The most expensive package also comes with two 15-meter rope chains and three 20-meter rope chains."

Ah Fa nodded and said: "Well, it is indeed necessary to add a few more ropes. I saw in the comment area that some people said that the ropes of this thing are easy to break if they are used too much. Although they can be returned to the factory for repairs, it is a waste of time to send them back and forth. It's quite troublesome, and if you need it urgently, it will be embarrassing."

Pei Miao said: "I also saw that comment, but that user cut scrap iron, we cut stone, it should be much better."

Hou Lanhua asked curiously: "What kind of scrap iron is so big that you need to use this thing to cut it?"

Pei Miao said: "Look at the picture, it's round, it looks like the solidified waste iron in the ladle of the steel factory, that kind of thing is very big, the tallest one is as tall as two people."

Chen Wei said: "Pei Miao, hurry up and take a look at this rock. I also really want to know how this giant rock is. It has been a long time since there has been such a giant rock in Pingzhou Dagong Pan."

"Okay." Pei Miao squeezed through the crowd and approached the huge rock, only to see that the rock had already been cut in half, and now the cut sides of the two halves were facing east, and they were standing in the southwest direction. Less than cut surface.

Pei Miao looked at the shell of the stone first, it was a wooden stone, the surface of the shell was very rough, there was no python band, no green, and no pine flowers, but there were many cracks and many knocks.

Seeing these knocks all over the body of the stone, one can imagine that the stone in the mine has been studied by the old Burmese for a long time.

Lao Mian knocked more than 20 knocks on this stone at least, but none of the knocks could break through the leather shell. It can be seen that the shell of this stone is quite thick, so don't expect to light it.

The performance on the leather shell can be said to be non-existent. Pei Miao turned around the stone and turned to the cut surface. Pei Miao was a little surprised when he saw the cut surface. , and then there is a one-centimeter-thick layer of white mist. With such a thick leather shell, it is no wonder that no matter how hard you knock it, it can’t express itself, so you have to use diamonds.

Under the mist layer is the jade meat, the water of the jade meat is average, most of them are waxy seeds, and there is a part that has not been melted, which is waxy seeds.

The color of the jade meat is also a bit mixed, with milky white background, spring color, green, blue water color, and black impurities are intricate, just like eight-treasure porridge that has been boiled overnight.

In addition, there are two large cracks crossing on the cut surface, and the length of these two large cracks is more than one meter. In addition, there are nearly twenty small cracks, the length of which is more than three Within ten centimeters, the shortest crack is only eight centimeters.

Both aspects behave the same.

No wonder the three stone gambling experts brought by Chen Wei did not estimate the value of this giant stone to exceed 4000 million. Judging from the performance of this section, 4000 million has already been given.

But things are not that simple. Although the cut surface of such a large stone is not good, the proportion of jade meat in it is really high. Except for the ten-centimeter-thick leather shell on the edge and the one-centimeter-thick fog layer, the inside is full of jade. There is only a little bit of black impurities in the jade meat.

If the proportion of jade meat can be as high as this cut surface, then this stone can still be a gamble, in case high-grade water and high-color appear in other places, as long as it appears, the amount is not a few kilograms, it is very likely It is dozens of kilograms, or even hundreds of kilograms.

As long as you are not lucky enough to cut out a few hundred kilograms of high-waxy jadeite with a little color, that is 2000 million. Although the quality of jadeite from other places is not high, it cannot hold up to a large quantity, so as long as you are lucky , This stone can cut out 3000 to [-] million emeralds.

From this point of view, the quotations given by the three experts brought by Chen Wei are quite satisfactory.

Pei Miao tried to press the light on the cut surface, but still couldn't see any performance.

He turned to Ah Fa and said, "Let's make data, this kind of big rock is rare, and data is also quite precious."

Holding the note in his left hand and the pen in his right, Ah Fa smiled and said, "I'm already writing it down."

Pei Miao was not in a hurry to use the All-God Domain to check. He was a little excited when he saw this huge stone for the first time. In addition, this stone did not show much. Find some clues on this stone.

He turned to the back of the stone and looked again at the crust of the stone.

This time, he looked very carefully, and carefully recalled in his mind the experience of Ma Chongwen looking at the big stone last time, and then recalled some contents in the stone betting notes that Ma Chongwen gave him, so he began to start with the shape and surface smoothness of the stone .

Looking at it this way, it is really rewarding. The shape of this stone is relatively regular. Although there are edges and corners, at least it is not a strange "deformation".

What is there to say about the shape of the stone? This is related to a force balance problem when the stone is under high pressure underground.

For example, if you put an egg in the palm of your hand, it is quite difficult to crush it with your grip. Why, is the egg strong? No, it is because the force is too balanced.

The same is true for stones. Stones with regular shapes are easily balanced under pressure from all directions in the ground, so that internal cracks are not easy to occur inside the stone.

The cracks on the outside of the stone are formed during the process of being transported and rolled by the force of nature. Master stone gamblers must study the reasons for the formation of stone cracks.

From the regular shape of this stone, Pei Miao can roughly guess that the internal cracks of this stone are probably similar to those of the cut surface. Although there are two big cracks and nearly twenty small cracks on the cut surface, for such a big As far as a stone is concerned, this crack is nothing at all, and it will not affect the retrieving of materials at all. If such a large stone is not cracked, it is called abnormal.

The next step is to look at the smoothness of the stone shell.

Small stones are used to study the sand grains of the shell. For such a large stone and such a thick shell, the thickness of the sand grains is not important, it just depends on its flatness.

So what is the relationship between the flatness? The answer is two words - planting water.

In order to observe the smoothness of the stone's shell, Pei Miao took a few steps back and looked from afar.
