Chapter 438: The Pearl of the Night (Part II)
Meng Zitao just because the whole piece of luminite is too precious, so he subconsciously didn't want to cut it off for identification, and now after listening to Meng Hongchang's proposal, he also felt that he should really do this, otherwise something went wrong, then he wanted to cry without tears. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Next, Meng Zitao took a sample with a tool, and after the same observation as before, he found that it could also emit milky white light.
Seeing this, Zhang Jingqiang said: "It seems that it is unlikely that this thing is emitting because of radioactive substances, otherwise, such a large piece would have died a long time ago." ”
Everyone said yes, and then put the luminite in a safe place, took the samples taken, and set off for Yangcheng University.
At the gate of Yangcheng University, everyone met with Li Wangshan.
Li Wangshan was very curious about the luminite stone, and when he saw that Meng Zitao only brought some samples over, he was a little disappointed. But he didn't say much, and led everyone to his eldest brother's office.
Li Wangshan's eldest brother, Li Xiongshan, was a tall and gentle old man, and he greeted everyone warmly, and then asked Meng Zitao to take a sample and observe it.
After a while, Li Xiongshan said: "Mr. Meng, although it has not been tested yet, with my experience, I think you still don't have much hope. At least I've never seen a record of such a large piece of the so-called Night Pearl as you mentioned. ”
"Professor Li, thank you for the reminder, I still mainly want to know what this thing is. ”
If it weren't for the ability to give the result, Meng Zitao wouldn't believe that there would be such a big night pearl, so everyone's opinion was also very normal.
"Alright, I'll take you to the lab. ”
Li Xiongshan took everyone to a laboratory specializing in testing minerals and met the person in charge here.
When the person in charge learned of everyone's intentions, he took the samples brought by Meng Zitao and took a look, and was a little unimpressed. However, based on Li Xiongshan's face, he didn't say much and took the sample to do the test. As a result, no radioactive material was found, which was expected.
Next, the stone was tested for phosphorus, but nothing was found. There is no radioactive material, and it does not contain phosphorus, so how can it emit light? What kind of stone is this?
At this time, the person in charge confidently said that this was probably fluorite, which itself had no luminescent properties, and could only fluoresce under ultraviolet light. Not really a pearl of the night.
Fluorite is a luminescent mineral, the so-called luminescent mineral refers to the ability to emit visible light under the excitation of external energy, thus showing a different color from what people can see with the naked eye under normal conditions. The essence of mineral luminescence is that the mineral lattice absorbs higher applied energy. It is then emitted at a lower energy to cause the mineral to glow. So far, it has been known that there are about 30 kinds of minerals that produce luminescence when excited by external energy
Among them, fluorite is a transparent crystal mineral with a large output, very easy to obtain, and very cheap, and it is the easiest to be "excited" by artificial means to make it have a "luminous" phenomenon. Therefore, in China's jewelry and strange stone markets recently, you can see the so-called spherical pearl night pearl for sale everywhere.
The person in charge judged from experience that the sample brought by Meng Zitao was a common fluorite, but the next test surprised the person in charge.
Because that sample can emit milky white light in a dark environment, the key is that it can emit light without any excitation means, and it is bright enough to read books and newspapers.
What made the person in charge feel even more surprising was that the luminescence time of the sample was very long, which was not at all achievable by common fluorite.
Generally speaking, the modern research on the mechanism of "mineral luminescence" is not the same as the ancient "night pearl".
Because the ancient "night pearl" was a natural thing, the ancients did not artificially "stimulate" it to produce it, and the light was visible to the naked eye;
In addition, the luminous mechanism of the ancient "Night Pearl" has many internal factors. For example, the substance of the "Night Pearl" has a stronger "photosensitivity" or "heat sensitivity" than ordinary substances. It can absorb energy in low light and low temperatures. There is no need for artificial "triggers" such as heating, heating, etc.
Now, the sample brought by Meng Zitao can emit light without using any "excitation" means, and after a long time, the brightness has not diminished, which is clearly the same as the "Night Pearl" recorded in ancient books!
After some tests, the person in charge and the experts have nothing to say, although they can't believe it, but they still think that with the test results they got, this is indeed a priceless pearl of the night, if the volume is indeed as Meng Zitao said, it must be the largest one in the world at present.
As for the value, the heads and experts are completely unthinkable.
The test took a long time, and when Meng Zitao learned the results, it was already the morning of the next day.
"What, it's really the Pearl of the Night?!"
Hearing the news, Meng Hongchang had just drunk a mouthful of porridge in his mouth, and he was so frightened that he squirted out. Zhang Jingqiang next to him was also choked on the buns, and hurriedly drank a few sips of soy milk and swallowed the buns in his throat hard.
Seeing this, Meng Zitao called the waiter over to clean up, and then smiled at the two: "Isn't it the pearl of the night? ”
Zhang Jingqiang pointed at Meng Zitao and pretended to be angry: "Isn't it just the Night Pearl? You are a full man who doesn't know how hungry a hungry man is, do you know how much your Night Pearl can be worth?"
Meng Zitao thought for a while and said, "It is estimated that it can be worth hundreds of millions." ”
"Dare to be affectionate, hundreds of millions of dollars are a little money in your eyes!" Zhang Jingqiang said angrily.
Meng Zitao shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Then what do you think I should do, jumping and jumping?"
Zhang Jingqiang shook his head: "Yes, I think your real age should be fifty or sixty years old, otherwise how could you be so calm." ”
Meng Hongchang interjected: "Don't talk about it, let's go to the school and get back the sample I brought yesterday, then it's not small, and it can be worth a lot of money." ”
"Yes, yes, yes. Zhang Jingqiang also nodded again and again: "However, I think it's better to take the night pearl to the bank first to save it, although the hotel is also safe, but this kind of thing can't be sloppy." ”
Meng Zitao felt that it made sense, so he hurriedly ate breakfast, and the group first went to the bank to deposit their things, and then came to Li Xiongshan's office at Yangcheng University.
At this time, in the office, in addition to Li Xiongshan and Li Wangshan's brothers, there was also a man of the same age as Li Wangshan.
This person is a little thin, but he looks very energetic, and he also has a scholarly temperament.
After introduction, the man was Li Xiongshan's friend Ge Qingyun, who came here today to ask Li Xiongshan for a favor, but he didn't expect to learn the test results unexpectedly, so he stayed.
The two sides exchanged a few words, and Li Xiongshan handed over the test report to Meng Zitao, and it did not clearly say that it must be the Night Pearl, but only issued a detailed test result, which can be inferred from the results, and it should be the Night Pearl without accident.
Li Xiongshan first returned the sample he brought yesterday to Meng Zitao, and then explained the terminology on the report.
In the end, Li Xiongshan sighed with emotion: "I didn't expect it to be really the Night Pearl, and it is very similar to the Night Pearl recorded in ancient books, which is completely unexpected to me, everything is really possible!"
Li Xiongshan's emotion was also the thought of everyone, Zhang Jingqiang said with some jealousy: "Why are the treasures in your pocket!"
It's no wonder that from last year to now, in less than a year, Meng Zitao has picked up countless leaks, although most others don't know, but a few revealed can make people can't help but envy and jealousy, and it is normal for some small eyes to be red.
Meng Zitao smiled, completely pushing the head of luck.
This also made everyone lose their temper, because Ye Mingzhu was indeed sent to the door by herself, if Du Binhai knew about it, it was estimated that he would vomit blood in heartache.
At this time, Ge Qingyun said to Meng Zitao: "Mr. Meng, I don't know what to do with this little night pearl in your hand?"
Before Meng Zitao could answer, Li Xiongshan asked a little strangely, "When did you become interested in this kind of thing?"
Ge Qingyun said: "As the old saying goes, it's easy to get a lover, but it's hard to find a night pearl." Although it is not suitable to compare love with things, it can also show the preciousness of the night pearl, which is also the object of my dreams, but I couldn't meet it at all before, so I didn't think about it, but now I have met it, so I want to ask Mr. Meng to make it convenient. ”
The sample that Meng Zitao took was about the size of a ring, and it happened to be a protruding place at that time, so he took it down.
When Meng Zitao heard Ge Qingyun's request, he was a little hesitant, because he originally planned to make things into ornaments and give them to He Wanyi.
Ge Qingyun also saw Meng Zitao's hesitation, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Meng, don't be busy refusing first, I'm willing to exchange Song Keben's "Tongjian Chronicle" with you, I don't know if it's okay?"
"Song Keben's "Tongjian Chronicle"?" Meng Zitao was a little surprised this time.
Since the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the ancient books of the Song Dynasty have been highly valued by scholars and bibliophiles. As early as the Ming Dynasty, the Song Dynasty carved the book and said that "every inch of paper is gold". No matter what kind of Song engraving it is, it has been handed down to the present, and it is also quite valuable.
As for Ge Qingyun's "Tongjian Chronicle", it is the first chronicle of the Han nation. This set of Song engravings has also appeared in the auction market, and the price is nearly 1 million, which is still in 2004.
Of course, at that time, the auction was not a full volume, and Ge Qingyun's was definitely not a full volume, so you have to look at it to find out how much it is worth.
But since Ge Qingyun can propose to exchange it, the value must be very high. (To be continued.) )
