When a diamond arrives in the hands of a jewelry merchant, it is a gimmick treasure that is branded as "diamonds are eternal", which can drain a man's pocket.

But in fact, diamonds are not used for many purposes other than "jewelry".

When it comes to industrial technology, natural diamonds are rarely useful.

Because almost all the places where it is needed to appear are replaced by synthetic diamonds.

Using high-energy lasers to vaporize diamonds and deposit them in the vapor phase on displays, Behemoth Industries is the first to find a new job for the industrial use of diamond ore.

Different from the previous technology of coating on the Dream Display, the transparency of the coating after the vaporization of the original diamond is enough to make the Dream Display obtain enough excellent imaging results.

The imaging body of holographic glasses is only the size of a matchbox, and if you want to let users get the same perspective as in the real world through the matchbox-sized imaging body, you must improve the plating technology.

From extremely small, magnified to tens of millions of times larger, and ensure that the user does not observe the presence of any blurry pixels.

This can only be ensured if the mirror body is made so transparent that its existence cannot be observed with the naked eye.

"We need diamonds that are higher purity so that we can save more time for purification after vaporization. Master Delicate shrugged his thin shoulders, and handed Ye Qing the rough diamond data currently in stock in the factory, "The current supply of ultra-high purity rough diamonds in Nicaya, is far from enough. ”

"Boss, we have to find more sources. ”

"Are you asking me to open a jeweler's side business?" After reading the diamond raw ore materials stored in the factory, Ye Qing suddenly felt a little dizzy.

There are a lot of rough diamonds in stock, but among these rough diamonds, the S1 rough diamonds that belong to the third standard grade are only less than 300 grams.

As long as all gem minerals are attached with commercial attributes, purity is often the most fundamental element that determines its commercial value.

Rare is precious, and pure gemstones are inherently scarce in nature.

It's the same as jade, jadeite, and gemstones.

Rough diamonds of the same size are often valued by their purity. The purer the diamond, the more it can win people's hearts, and the rarer it is.

The International Diamond Agency divides diamond grading standards into 11 purity grades.

Diamonds below SI2 have little commercial value, and their use is only as a diamond abrasive.

An SI2 diamond means that there are fine other mineral impurities inside the diamond, which is only suitable for polishing into a diamond for jewelry decoration.

The grade of the rough diamond that squeezes out a man's waist bag is often in the four grades of VS2, VS1, S2, and S1.

Diamonds of these grades have other internal mineral imperfections that can only be seen with high magnification. These rough diamonds are cut and polished to create a diamond ring that shines brightly in the light.

It is precisely these colorful lusters that have fascinated the hearts of many beautiful women.

Further up, there is the IF class, which is suitable for making precious jewelry.

The standard limit for diamond purity is FL.

The highest grade, also known as a flawless diamond. This means that even under ultra-high magnification, the diamond is internally flawless, free of any mineral impurities.

In the past, the diamond raw materials imported from Nicaraya by the giant beast industry were all high-quality diamond raw materials of S2 grade or above.

These fine diamond materials, even under a 10x magnifying glass, can hardly detect internal mineral imperfections.

This diamond material is used to coat the dream display, and it can be used directly.

Now to coat holographic glasses, even S1 grade is not qualified. The minimum standard is also the second place in the purity rating list, IF grade. And before plating, it is also purified to remove all other mineral impurities, even at the nanometer level.

The cruelty and extremeness of industry are often reflected in these seemingly insignificant details.

The holographic glasses are plated, even if it is just a nano-sized mineral defect, and the surface of the lens is plated.

When the user wears holographic glasses and experiences the virtual world with a 180-degree stereoscopic perspective, the flaw will be magnified tens of thousands of times and become a visual stain of a few tenths of a millimeter.

Perhaps a few tenths of a millimeter stain will not affect the user's visual experience.

But who can do it, on a piece of mirror, fortunately, there is only one flaw?

This probability is lower than winning the jackpot of 100 million yuan.

If the purification standard is relaxed slightly, it will undoubtedly save a large section of the purification process, and the grade of the rough diamond can also be reduced to S1.

However, if this is done, the surface of an otherwise pure and flawless mirror body will be covered with patches of nano-sized mineral impurity particles.

When users wear these glasses to experience the virtual world, there will be slight chromatic aberrations, and blurred visual spots that are not obvious one by one, but linger.

In terms of processing efficiency, only the second-ranked IF grade rough diamond is qualified as a raw material for the coating of holographic glasses.

However, the current situation is that the raw materials of fine diamonds above S2 are already scarce.

Now, even if General Mopu of Nicanya controls the entire western territory, the three diamond mines in the territory produce less than 30 grams of IF rough diamonds per day.

Not to mention the FL extreme purity rough diamonds that are as rare as the Morning Star.

The higher the purity, the less time it takes to vaporize the diamond in a vacuum and further purify it, and the less the raw material is wasted.

Due to the scarcity of IF-grade rough diamonds, the factory can only let the delicate master carefully mark the internal defects of the SI-grade diamond under a high-power microscope, and finally cut these defects and separate them from the original ore to obtain a finely fragmented FL-grade rough diamond.

It's a delicate and time-consuming manual task, and diamonds are the hardest substances in the world, so it's easier said than done.

"Boss, I don't think even opening a side hustle in a jewelry store will not meet our needs. ”

Master Jing was serious, "We need a large amount of IF grade ore, preferably FL limit purity. I asked General Mopp's men, who were in charge of supplying us, and they said that not to mention Nigaya, even the diamond jewelers in the whole of Europe would not be able to produce more than 500 grams of IF diamond ore. ”

"I can't help it if you do this. ”

"Synthetic diamonds, the purity is simply not usable. ”

Ye Qing was a little embarrassed, "As for searching for IF-grade raw ore, it is obviously not a matter that can be solved with money. No, let's expand the purchase of S1 grade diamonds first. ”

"We have to waste a few hours of work to cut these rough diamonds to remove impurities and turn them into purer melee diamonds. ”

"We can get those jewelers to hand over the bottom of the box. The delicate master raised his eyebrows, his eyes full of anticipation, "I've heard that these jewelers have a lot of S1 rough diamonds hidden in bank vaults, and even a few of them are FL extreme purity. ”

"They are stockpiling these rough diamonds in order to raise the price of the international diamond market, and if they bring these stocks to the factory, they can alleviate the current shortage of raw materials. ”

"Do you think they will sell?" Ye Qing knew that the master of ingenuity had far underestimated the greed of the capital merchants.

If they knew that the monster industry was in urgent need of a large amount of ultra-high-purity diamond ore, it would be strange that they would not take advantage of the fire and rob and increase the price of raw materials by several levels.

The delicate master smiled and replied with a different train of thought, "It's just right, they rushed to rob with fire, and we reversed it, robbing the diamond and not giving money." ”
