"Don't tell me this is the pearl of the night in 'Meiling Shoes'! Xiao Peng's eyes widened.

Armand was stunned: "Uh, what's the matter with the 'beautiful shoes' you are talking about?"

Xiao Peng explained: "In our China, there are many allusions about the 'night pearl', most of which are actually fluorite with high phosphorus content. But the most famous one must be the 'pearl of the night' of Cixi. ”

"Cixi, the bravest woman in the world?" Armand asked.

In Western countries, the Empress Dowager Cixi is known as 'the bravest woman in the world', and this is not without reason, because in the whole world, there is only one person who has ever declared war on the whole world, and that is Cixi. Oh, everyone knows the rest of the story, the Old Summer Palace was burned。。。。。。

Xiao Peng nodded: "After Cixi's death, there was a notorious warlord named Sun Dianying at that time, who directly sent someone to bombard Cixi's mausoleum and looted the burial goods inside, and the most famous of them was the night pearl that the Empress Dowager Cixi held in her mouth. According to Sun Dianying's description, the night pearl is divided into two pieces, and when closed, it is a round ball. When separated, it is transparent and dull, and when it is closed, it reveals a green cold light, and even in the dark night, you can see the hair within 100 steps. It is said that it is precisely because of the inclusion of this night pearl that the corpse of the Empress Dowager Cixi said to Sun Dianying, 'It's like falling asleep, there is no decay at all', and now the description of the night pearl in many Chinese film and television dramas is also because of this. ”

"Is it really that amazing?" Armand's eyes widened.

Xiao Peng shrugged: "Who knows, this is all Sun Dianying himself." However, Cixi should not have expected that it was precisely because of the treasure she held in her mouth that her coffin was pried open by Sun Dianying early. ”

"And what about the whereabouts of this pearl of the night?

Xiao Peng lit a cigarette and said unhurriedly: "Later, this Sun Dianying, in order to pat Principal Jiang's ass, gave this night pearl to Principal Jiang's wife. I don't know if Madame Jiang is illiterate or for the sake of beauty, so she decorated the night pearl that Cixi Lafayette loved on her shoes, which is the famous allusion 'Meiling Shoes', and later these shoes were brought to the Stars and Stripes Country by Madame Jiang, and their whereabouts are unknown ever since. ”

Armand listened to Xiao Peng's words, and smiled: "The night pearl you said is worth a lot, I haven't seen it and can't express my opinion, but according to the current situation, if you can really confirm that you are a hexagonal crystal diamond, brother, congratulations, you don't have to worry about eating and drinking in your life just by selling tickets." ”

"This hasn't been confirmed yet?" Xiao Peng asked puzzled.

"If you want to be fully certified, you should do a test with an X-ray diffractometer to see if it's really a hexagonal crystal system. Make a final confirmation. But according to the thermal conductivity test I brought and my research on diamonds, 80% of the time is confirmed that you are a hexagonal diamond. Like diamonds, they are made entirely of carbon, which is a unique feature of diamonds. Douglas was also excited at this time: "Wow, the world's third 'Lonsdale' has been discovered!"

"Lonsdale?" Xiao Peng heard the term again: "What is Lonsdale?"

Armand said: "Lonsdale is the name of a crystallographer in the Eagle Country, and it was after him that the world's first hexagonal crystal system was named, and now it is in the Peanut Stew Museum in the Stars and Stripes Country, and it is only a little more than a millimeter in diameter. Don't look at it small, it's his existence that lets people know that there are still such gems in the world. And the second hexagonal crystal system diamond is also in your Huaxia, in the hands of a person named Wang Zhankui, that one is much larger, it is a small round ball with a diameter of about 15 millimeters. And you're going to have five centimeters in diameter, oh my God! Are you going to kill people?"

Douglas added: "You could call it a 'hexagonal meteorite diamond'. This would explain why the stone is a diamond, but it is arranged in a hexagonal system like a gemstone like an emerald. ”

"Is this a meteorite?" Xiao Peng suddenly realized.

"Yes, there are so many meteorite hunters in the world now, they dream of finding one such meteorite. Douglas said.

Meteorites are also collectibles, so there are many people in the world who specialize in finding meteorites or amateurs. Some do it because of hobbies, but most people do it for wealth. There are also some people who set up a meteorite identification company to defraud some cheap meteorite identification at a high price. This circle is also extremely deep.

Of course, there are also many meteorite hunter practitioners who really love meteorites, in their words: 'Meteorites are the elders, they are the source.' When they existed, the Earth may not have been conceived, and more than four billion years of time and space were recorded in meteorites. They wander in the deep mountains and old forests and the wilderness next door all year round, just to find meteorites known as "visitors from the sky".

But in fact, there are so many more meteorites on Earth than we think. Prices also vary widely. Go to Amazon to search, two or three dollars a piece of meteorites can be seen everywhere, many people in China through this method, go to Amazon to buy cheap meteorites, get the domestic fool laymen for profiteering, you know, domestic meteorites have been hyped up to now are sold by grams, all kinds of Mongolian laymen。。。。。。

Of course, there are also extremely rare meteorites, because all meteorite hunters are mysterious. It can even be said that this group can be described as 'confusing', they are all working in silos, because it involves trade secrets, and everything they harvest is secret until they get ownership of the meteorite. Among them, there are many meteorites that have been hidden and not announced to the world. It's hard to say that there aren't some meteorites in it.

But among all the meteorites that have been made public, the most precious one is undoubtedly this 'hexagonal crystal meteorite diamond'! At present, only two pieces have been found on the entire earth, and if it is determined, this is the third one!

This is the reason why Armand rushed over so actively! The discoverer of the third 'hexagonal meteorite diamond', this is a good opportunity to leave his name!

"How much is this thing worth?" Xiao Peng asked the question he was most concerned about and the most cheesy.

Armand smiled: "There are only two countries in the world that have this stone, namely the Stars and Stripes and Huaxia, and the price of this meteorite in these two countries is only tens of millions of dollars. But believe me, if you really want to sell this thing, less than a billion dollars is an insult to this stone! I don't know anyone else, but I'm sure we, Gaul, will pay this money for this meteorite. ”

Xiao Peng whistled: "Wow, this is good news." ”

Armand asked, "Why, do you want to sell it?"

"Why sell?" Xiao Peng's eyes widened: "I'm not short of that money, why don't you keep it for yourself? If you have this thing, will you sell it?"

Armand thought for a moment and shook his head vigorously: "If I kill me, I won't sell it!"

Xiao Peng smiled: "Isn't that enough?"

Armand thought for a moment: "Xiao, when are we going to do the final test? I have a good relationship with the École Polytechnique, which has a very advanced X-diffractometer. This instrument can be used to find the delay lines in this gem, if there are six, and they are exactly the same as the delay lines of the 'Lonsdale' in the Stars and Stripes Country, then there is no doubt about it!"

When Xiao Peng heard this, he scratched his head: ", so troublesome?" He is a little confused now, what about appraisal? or not? If not, he has always been curious in his heart. But if it does, what if it's not? Isn't that too disappointing?

Armand saw Xiao Peng's hesitation: "Dude, what are you afraid of now? I will tell you a word of conscience, you are already a winner in life, a shareholder of two large companies, with the best yacht and the best mansion." If this gem is real, it's the icing on the cake, and if not, it's irrelevant, isn't it?

Xiao Peng coughed dryly: "When I saw this stone when I was in Kangaroo Country, I thought it was very interesting, so I picked it up." I haven't taken it to heart. ”

The reason why Xiao Peng said this was actually very stupid, because he knew that all the things dug up in the soil in the country belonged to the state, and he thought that the meteorite was the same.

In fact, he really thought about it too much, because this meteorite was not dug out of the soil, but fell from the sky, so the state did not have regulations on the ownership of this meteorite, generally speaking, whoever found it counted. Otherwise, where did so many meteorite hunters come from? But he didn't know that his casual words had deceived countless people.

But Armand's words really moved Xiao Peng, that's right, just do it, give it a go, give it a go, turn a bicycle into a motorcycle, this stone is real or fake, there is a result and the heart is steady, right?

Xiao Peng took out his mobile phone to check it, in the science and technology experimental area of the Huaxia Petroleum Exploration and Development Research Institute, there is the most advanced X-ray diffractometer in Huaxia, Xiao Peng shook his mobile phone: "Early tomorrow morning, we will go to do the identification, we don't need to go to Gaul, we can do it in Kyoto, China." ”

Armand nodded after hearing this, but then coughed dryly: "Xiao, I don't know about two small requests, I don't know if I can say it?"

Xiao Peng didn't want to reply: "Oh, then don't say it." ”

Armand listened, and said, "Actually, I want to。。。。。。 Uh, what did you say?"

Xiao Peng smiled and waved his hand: "Just kidding, you just say it." ”

Armand said: "Well, if this can really be determined that this is a hexagonal meteorite diamond, can the earliest appraiser add my name and Douglas's name to it?"

"Poof. Xiao Peng smiled: "Okay, no problem, you guy also likes to sell his reputation." ”

Armand scratched his head, looked embarrassed, and continued: "Then thank you, in fact, this is more important to Mr. Douglas, I just touched it by the way." ”

Xiao Peng shrugged: "It's okay." "No wonder Douglas is so honest tonight, emotion is the key reason. "What about the second request?"

Armand hurriedly said: "If the results are correct, this is a good opportunity to improve the brand image of Jacques Vanbus, let's take this gem for a touring exhibition, I will definitely do a good job of security for it, and then invest in sky-high insurance, so that it is foolproof!"

He thought that Xiao Peng could also agree to his request, but he didn't expect Xiao Peng to give him three words after thinking for a while: "I refuse!"
