Chapter 178: A Trip to Burma
The further compression and improvement of the teleportation formation is not smooth, but it has been reducing the volume of the portal little by little, and it is not a problem to change the shape of the portal, whether it is round or rectangular, as long as the loop link loop of the formation does not change, it can be activated to form a teleportation array.
In just three days, it was only the night to take time to improve, and the volume of the portal had been compressed to 10 centimeters long and 3 centimeters wide, of course, in fact, the volume of the teleportation array was not much compressed, because the circumference was still there, but the volume was much smaller than the almost 12 centimeters diameter circle, and this volume was not a problem at all to improve the rifle magazine, but it was very cumbersome to use on a pistol.
Of course, if the volume of the teleportation array has reached the limit, it is possible to change the super-large capacity pistol magazine, but it is obvious that the portal still has a chance to be further compressed, so it has not yet been finalized. The smaller the size of the portal, the less Mithril will be consumed, and of course the volume should be squeezed as much as possible.
I believe that as long as you spend enough time to improve, you should be able to make a miniature portal that is small enough to fit in a magazine, and strive to make a super-miniature portal that can make several pairs with only one gram of Mithril. This device is not just a magic modification of the magazine, in fact, there will be many applications, which can give full play to the imagination.
It's just that three days have passed in a flash, and the busy days are finally over, the old Lin and Xiaoya who went back to their hometown finally came back, and Zhang Tiancheng couldn't wait to leave for Myanmar to wash the ruby of unknown origin to a legal origin.
The value of the gemstone should be very high, these days I have also carefully studied the price of rubies, the best large rubies, the price is even a few points higher than ordinary diamonds, a piece is the size of an egg, with an extremely bright red color, absolutely rare in the world.
If all goes well, maybe just one ruby can get one or two hundred million in cash, and if there is so much money, it can buy more equipment, and even set up a small research institute is not a problem.
In addition, with enough funds, in fact, it will not be too difficult to order some 5.8 caliber ammunition, and even get some 35 mm caliber grenades is not a problem, lest the powerful good things become useless without ammunition.
……
is still the snack bar with a hot business, Zhang Tiancheng is burying his head in eating, but Wu Qianqian seems to be in a bad mood and has no appetite.
"Sister, but you've been tired for the past two days?"
"No, you're really going to Burma?"
"Of course, if you have all the tickets and visas, can you not go...... Do you want to play too? ”
"I'm not available!"
"Then I must be worried that I will lose money on buying stones, and then I won't be able to pay the food money I promised you, right?" made a joke, but it didn't make the other party happy.
"I have a serious job, and I can't afford to eat?"
"You know what I mean, but then again, why did you go and hand out flyers to make extra money a few days ago?"
"I'm glad I can't!"
"Of course, it's okay, but why do you always scold me, and I didn't offend you."
"It's nothing, I'm full and it's time to go home, thank you for dinner." said that he stood up and left, and Zhang Tiancheng could only end the meal and get up to send people back.
You can roughly guess this girl's thoughts, she should be worried that she will lose her family because of gambling stones, and she has changed her ways to persuade several times in the past few days, but it has never had any effect, so she is in a bad mood.
In all fairness, this girl cares about herself so much, and she is still a little moved, but there are some things that she can't say directly to the other party, so she can only let that little misunderstanding exist, and she really doesn't have much heart to carefully manage love or something, because once the mission fails, there may be nothing.
Even if you are still alive, everything will return to the original state before being struck by the lightning ball, and everything you experience now will be like a dream, not even a dream, because the memory will be erased.
“…… I hope you'll be in the mood to invite me to dinner when you come back! When I got out of the car, I finally said a word of blessing.
"That's necessary, I still owe you two months' food, I'm a man of promises."
"I'll go up first, goodbye!" Wu Qianqian didn't say anything, just waved her hand and turned to leave after getting out of the car.
Zhang Tiancheng was not in a hurry to leave, although the current security is very good, but he still waited for the girl to really return to the room, appeared on the window and waved herself back to hurry back before driving away.
……
Running to buy the most authentic origin of the rough stone, it is indeed quite troublesome, because Zhang Tiancheng's city near the airport did not fly directly to Myanmar, so first flew to the capital, transfer to Yangon, Myanmar, and then have to transfer to Lashio, and then have to take a car for hundreds of kilometers, after a bumpy road, finally arrived at the destination of this trip, the world's most famous ruby origin in Myanmar Mogok.
I have to say that the infrastructure construction here is really poor, don't don't want it, the more than 100 kilometers of road, it is a few points worse than the winding mountain road leading to the countryside in my hometown, but these are not problems, the most depressed thing for Zhang Tiancheng is that he came all the way to find that there is no ruby raw ore to sell at all, even if there is a rough stone, it is also some very small rough stone, and I turned around in the market, and I didn't even find a larger piece of raw ore.
It took three days to waste three days, and finally saw a piece of rough ruby weighing 2 kilograms appear on the market, but the green skin package only showed a little ruby appearance, no matter how you look at it, it is not very valuable, although it caused many onlookers, and heard that the seller quoted 50 million kyats, which is equivalent to more than 200,000 yuan, which basically dispelled the enthusiasm of the onlookers.
Because no matter how you look at this raw ore, it looks like a deception to those laymen, and insiders will know at a glance that the point that is exposed is ruby, and there is no stock in other areas or the probability of some is less than 1 in 10,000.
Just in terms of the value of the ruby that leaked out, if it is processed well, the price is at most 20 million kyats, so the purchase price of 20 million will definitely be a loss, so there were originally a few merchants who were interested in buying, and after several failed price reductions, they also gave up their plans to buy.
Zhang Tiancheng is quite satisfied with this oversized ruby rough, although the price is as high as more than 200,000 yuan, but as long as he buys it, he can find a quite reasonable source for the best ruby.
Therefore, he didn't listen to the translation of the middle-aged uncle who was hired temporarily, but just lowered the price slightly, and finally completed the transaction at a price of 40 million kyats, of course, by the way, he also asked the other party for the relevant transaction certificate, and left with the rather huge ruby rough in front of everyone.
"Mr. Zhang, this time you may really lose money, and there is almost no possibility that a ruby can be cut out of the rough stone." As a devout Buddhist, I still have a little regret about not being able to persuade my employer.
"It's okay, I like it very much, this shows part of the ruby shape, a little red in the green bushes, it looks very comfortable, it's all fate."
"Maybe you're right, gemstones have no value in themselves, they only have value when people like them!"
"That's it, uncle, thank you these days, this is your reward!" As he spoke, he took out a stack of 10,000 yuan bills unique to Myanmar, about 300,000 yuan, which was actually more than 1,000 yuan, but this money was nearly double the price that was promised at the beginning.
“…… Give a lot! ”
"It's not much, take it, you've taught me a lot about ruby and sapphire these days." In fact, giving more is mainly for the other party not uniting with the locals to pit themselves, which is quite good.
"Thank you, may the Buddha bless you!"
