Do you really want to give up this mysterious mining area?

Liu Yuhao put his hands on his waist and looked into the distance, the mining area did not have the roar of machines as he imagined, and there was no busy scene of workers shuttling between his imagination.

In fact, Liu Yuhao is also very clear that for the proportion of rough and gem-quality diamonds, the best diamonds should come from rough diamonds mined in alluvial deposits.

Those diamonds have undergone natural weathering and are magically transported back and forth by nature, and through this journey, the delicate parts of the diamond are naturally separated. In a specific sedimentary environment, diamonds are regularly distributed in rock formations according to different particle sizes and shapes.

Only those diamonds that are cut and formed can achieve the most stunning brilliance, which is called gem-quality diamonds, while the rest can only be used for industrial purposes, and it is difficult to make money.

As it stands, it seems that the mining area in front of you simply does not meet the basic conditions for producing gem-quality diamonds.

According to Tengtie, less than four carats of diamonds can be extracted from an average of 10 tons of gravel here, at a cost of up to $400, while in South Africa, the cost per carat of rough diamonds can be controlled at around eight to ten dollars for the same price.

Liu Yuhao couldn't understand, are South African diamonds really so profitable? If that's the case, why are there so many jewellers in Australia?

Perhaps, it is too early to draw conclusions.

Liu Yuhao closed his eyes and took a deep breath, trying to make his mind clearer, he knew that every decision he made now would be related to the fate and future of many people, and he couldn't easily jump to conclusions about anything until he was completely sure.

"Brother Liu, let's go to the new mining area and take a look."

Teng Tie started the car and rolled down the window and shouted.

Liu Yuhao nodded and quickly jumped into the car, and said, "Teng Tie, don't mention the matter of South Africa before I leave, especially when Uncle Deng is present, do you know?" ”

Teng Tie was stunned and nodded vigorously in agreement.

Although the new mine is only thirty or forty kilometers away, it is important to know that driving in such a place where there are almost no roads can take at least more than an hour, which is slower than walking.

In the violently shaking car, countless thoughts flashed through Liu Yuhao's mind, almost every one of which was related to the diamond mine in his knowledge accumulation, but it was fruitless to think about it.

Helpless, Liu Yuhao had to force himself to calm down, no longer thinking about anything, but opening the car window to look at the scenery.

More than half an hour later, the car passed by a huge mine, Teng Tie pointed to a large artificial cave with a smile, and said: "Brother Liu, look, that mine is where Old Man Kong dug out the first pot of gold. ”

Liu Yuhao looked in the direction of Teng Tie's finger, and a huge hole appeared in front of him.

The appearance of the pothole is irregular, and it can be seen at a glance that it has been abandoned for many years, but the huge hole like a basketball court reminds everyone all the time, so that everyone can understand how much effort Mr. Kong put into the mining area back then.

Teng Tie smiled and said, "Brother Liu, the diamonds produced in this pit back then are famous for their large particles and good quality. ”

Liu Yuhao smiled and said: "Uncle Deng said before that half of the diamonds mined from this mine can reach gem quality. ”

It's also interesting to think about, whenever Uncle Deng talks about that period of history, his eyebrows flutter, and his expression is extremely exaggerated.

Suddenly, a strange thought popped into Liu Yuhao's mind.

In ancient legends, the ancient Greeks believed that diamonds were fragments of stars that fell to the earth, and some even believed that diamonds were the tears of the gods, and people once believed that diamonds came from the water of heaven or the dew of the sky, and in Sanskrit, the word diamond means thunder and lightning, so as to express the belief that diamonds are born of lightning.

But it is only today that the development of modern science tells people that diamonds do not fall from the sky, but rather break from the earth.

The ancients also believed that diamonds would produce small diamonds, and even the famous scientist Boyle believed in this statement. In the 17th century, Portuguese explorers finally confirmed that diamonds could indeed grow close to the surface in 2-3 years.

This pit has been abandoned for years, will it still grow new diamonds?

In a flash of thought, Liu Yuhao almost subconsciously urged the ability to look towards the mine, as if he had a premonition, everything he did was so logical.

Suddenly, Liu Yuhao was stunned, and after staring at it for a few seconds, Liu Yuhao shouted loudly: "Stop, stop immediately!" ”

Teng Tie was startled, squeaked on the brakes, and asked in amazement, "What's wrong with you, Brother Liu?" Is there something uncomfortable? ”

Hearing Teng Tie's exclamation, Liu Yuhao came back to his senses from his deep shock.

Feeling his sudden gaffe, Liu Yuhao's old face turned red, and he smiled with an embarrassed expression: "It's okay, I suddenly remembered to take a look inside the mine just now, maybe I was talking loudly, I'm sorry!" ”

Although Teng Tie didn't say anything, his eyes when he looked at Liu Yuhao were very strange.

In fact, Liu Yuhao's words were full of loopholes, if Teng Tie hadn't believed in Liu Yuhao, he would have heard Liu Yuhao's insincerity with his analytical ability.

Teng Yi also parked the car and hurried from behind, and asked nervously: "Big brother, it's okay, why did I hear Brother Liu's roar just now?" ”

Liu Yuhao smiled, waved his hand and explained: "It's okay, I just want to go to the pothole over there to take a look, maybe it's too loud." ”

Fuji Yi looked puzzled.

Liu Yuhao smiled and repeated: "It's really okay!" ”

After saying that, Liu Yuhao didn't care about talking to the two brothers anymore, so he walked towards the pit in three steps and two steps.

"You go get the gun, I'll follow Brother Liu first."

Teng Yi didn't have time to think, so he hurriedly ordered his eldest brother to follow quickly.

Although the mining area is guarded by a large number of mercenaries, there will be wild beasts in such a wild place, even if you encounter a large kangaroo.

If you are innocently punched by a kangaroo again, obediently, it will be a big drop.

If you want to reason, you can't find anyone to go anywhere!

Liu Yuhao walked very fast, but every time he took a step closer to the pothole, his heart beat violently several times. This particularly wonderful feeling has not been seen in a long time.

Yes, he did see a diamond in the pit just now.

The diamond did not show the luxurious beauty in the spotlight, and it was not as touching as the tears of the angels in the beauty legend, but its unique purity and transparency attracted Liu Yuhao's eyes like the deep eyes of a lover.

It was an indescribable feeling, and Liu Yuhao found that the diamond he saw was quietly staying in a corner of the hole, desperately exuding its charm and brilliance, as if telling the world about the injustice he was buried here.

"Brother Liu, you slow down."

Fuji Yi shouted in the back, but unfortunately it didn't work, Liu Yuhao ignored his anxious shout, the quiet light that was soft as a virgin tugged at Liu Yuhao's heart, making him unable to stop moving forward at all.

Finally climbed into the cave, Liu Yuhao did not rush to explore the location of the diamond, but began to carefully analyze the structure and distribution of the ore layer in this pit.

It turned out that Liu Yuhao suddenly realized that this mine cave was the site of an ancient volcanic river a long time ago.

casually reached out and grabbed a handful on the rock wall, Liu Yuhao looked down and saw that there were still many diamond chips left in the ore layer, no wonder there was a diamond mine less than two meters below the surface.

Teng Tie also caught up in time, and the two brothers glanced at each other, looking at each other, not knowing what Liu Yuhao was going to do, but both of them wisely chose to stand beside Liu Yuhao and did not ask questions.

Although the professional sensitivity made Teng Tie and Fuji Yi feel that something was wrong, they couldn't figure out what was going on.

In the end, Teng Yi was still overcome by the deep curiosity in his heart, and couldn't help asking, "Brother Liu, did you find something?" ”

Liu Yuhao shook his head hurriedly at first, and then thought that something was wrong, so he smiled and told the ancient myths and legends that he thought of in the car and the things about the regrowth of diamonds in 2 to 3 years.

Fuji Yi's face was full of surprise, he had to rub his stiff face, and laughed loudly: "Brother Liu, you don't really think that diamonds will grow again in this hole, right?" ”

"What's impossible?"

Liu Yuhao rolled his eyes, if he couldn't make it too obvious, he would have to pull out the diamond he saw from the rock wall now for Teng Yi to see with his own eyes.

Teng Tie obviously thought more than Teng Yi, his eyes widened and he thought for a while, and said, "Otherwise, I'll find an expert to come over tomorrow to take a look, maybe what Brother Liu said makes sense." ”

"Forget it, it's been in vain."

Fuji Yi disagreed with this statement, tilted his head and laughed at his eldest brother.

Liu Yuhao waved his hand and said, "Tengtie, do you have any ready-made excavation tools, anyway, it's too late to go back and forth to the new mining area today, I want to stay here for a while." ”

Teng Tie shook his head at first, but he suddenly slapped his head and said with a smile: "It's a coincidence, the electric hammer I used before returning to China is still in the trunk." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Teng Tie shook his head and said with a wry smile: "What, Brother Liu, let's come back tomorrow when we have tools, it's okay to drill holes in the wall with the electric hammer, and it's hard to open these rock walls." ”

Liu Yuhao waved his hand and said seriously: "You go and bring the electric hammer, anyway, let's try it, you don't have to dig into it." ”

"Yes, Fuji Yi looks around, I'll come when I go."

Teng Tie thought that this was indeed the reason, so he didn't say anything anymore, nodded and immediately turned around and went down the mountain to get the electric hammer.
