Chapter 224: Yuanneng Stone Slag
In the middle of the night, the mobile phone shook again, and Su Can sent a message.
"Cousin, I've practiced the Ultimate Yang Technique!"
Su Can's voice was slightly excited.
"Okay! Have you seen Huang Feihong?"
Meng Chen nodded.
Although Su Can took a little longer, he finally followed his instructions and successfully practiced the first layer of the Yang Jue.
"Well, I practiced at noon today, and I came to Bao Zhilin in the afternoon...... At this time, I will be a guest in Bao Zhilin...... Cousin, according to what you said, I chatted with Huang Feihong all afternoon this afternoon, and talked for half a night in the evening, and he has agreed to follow me to the magic capital. ”
Su Can quickly replied.
"Very well, when are you leaving?"
Meng Chen asked.
By the way, cousin, Huang Feihong proposed to personally go to Jinmen and the capital to personally visit Huo Jiaquan and Yuanshun Dart Bureau. ”
Su Can then replied.
"It's still not necessary, when people who practice martial arts meet, they can't help but want to learn, this kind of thing is a bit risky, if you don't pay attention to the real fire on your hands and feet, it will ruin the plan after that...... To find Huo Yuanjia and the fifth king of the Great Sword, if you send someone to it, be sure to invite them over to help...... How many people do you have in your hands now?"
Meng Chen explained.
"There are more than 3,800 people! These people worship me very much, especially after I have practiced the Zhiyang Technique, once the Yuan Force is activated, the ordinary swords and firearms of this era will not be able to hurt me at all! Hahaha...... In the eyes of my subordinates now, I am a 'god!' invulnerable god!"
Halfway through Su Can's words, he couldn't help laughing, and his voice was excited.
"You're doing a good job!"
Meng Chen nodded.
"Cousin, you rarely praise me...... By the way, cousin, there is one more thing I want to discuss with you...... When I go to the magic capital this time, should I take those smokers who used to smoke opium? I have been thinking about this matter for the past two days, and I am a little uncertain about paying attention. ”
Su Can was silent for a moment, and then continued to send a message.
These people are addicted to cigarettes and can do anything, and when the time comes, they are afraid that they will make a mistake. ”
Meng Chen quickly replied.
"Well, I also discussed this matter with Huang Feihong, and that's what he meant...... But in this way, the manpower I can bring to the magic capital will be reduced by more than 30% all of a sudden!"
Su Can said.
“...... There are so many smokers under your command? The poison of opium in the late Qing Dynasty has reached such a large level?"
Meng Chen was surprised.
"Yes, cousin, three or four out of ten of my men have smoked opium......! In fact, there is not such a high proportion in the outside world, about one in a dozen people, and some opium-growing areas are very terrifying, and it is said that the smoking rate can reach two or three percent!"
Su Can replied.
“......”
Meng Chen was speechless for a moment.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the population was about 400 million, and if the proportion mentioned by Su Can was followed, it would be enough for 30 or 40 million people to be poisoned by opium!
That's a terrible number!
Because of Su Can, Meng Chen also checked a lot of information at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and knew that opium was very harmful at that time, but there was no accurate number of people harmed.
Little did he know that the number had reached such a high level.
The beggars under Su Can came from all over China, and the information they brought was still very credible.
"Cousin, isn't it a surprise? Actually, when I knew about this situation, I was also surprised! But after learning the real situation, I felt normal...... In fact, as early as after the British and French troops invaded the capital, burned the Old Summer Palace, and the Qing court ceded Hong Kong Island, opium cultivation was tacitly approved by the Qing court, and later directly approved, in order to increase the revenue of the national treasury...... It's growing on a huge scale right now, and it's all over the place!"
After a pause, Su Can sent another message.
"Well, I know, then leave all those smokers behind! Take the others to the magic capital, Huang Feihong is also well versed in medicine, and the identification of these people must be ...... well."
Meng Chen nodded.
The Qing court acquiesced in the cultivation of opium, and he also knew something that the Qing court was cowardly and incompetent, and had no way out, so it could only rely on sacrificing the overall interests of the Chinese nation to maintain its own rule.
"Okay cousin, I've made a note of everything...... Now, you should send me what you call 'the treasure', right?"
Su Can agreed, and then asked with great anticipation.
Meng Chen didn't say much, went directly into the study, and took out a bag that had been prepared a long time ago.
The bag is not big, and if it is sent to Su Can, it still only needs 1 point of demon aura.
Su Can's side was already impatient, and immediately accepted the bag.
......
Just a moment later, Su Can's voice came again.
Table ...... Cousin, this, this is a diamond? This ...... How many of them are there?"
Su Can breathed heavily, obviously unable to believe his eyes at all.
Right!
It's diamonds!
A new age of man-made diamonds, to be exact.
To be more precise, these things should be called "Yuanneng stone slag." ”
Roughly processed Yuanneng stone gravel.
As early as the old times, man-made diamonds have been greatly developed, such as "moissanite", this kind of man-made diamonds are better than natural diamonds in terms of fire, luster and refractive index, and the hardness is only slightly inferior to that of natural diamonds, but the price is only one-tenth of that of natural diamonds, or even lower.
After entering the new era of aura revival, there are many substances that are harder than natural diamonds, and since the discovery of the first Yuan Energy Stone, the technical bottleneck of man-made diamonds has been completely broken.
After the energy inside the Yuan Energy Stone is exhausted, it will collapse from the "veins" that condensed the Yuan Energy Stone at the beginning, and this broken Yuan Energy Stone slag can become a "diamond" after simple processing!
Almost indistinguishable from natural diamonds, modern technology requires the aid of sophisticated instruments to distinguish them.
For the end of the 19th century, this kind of elemental stone slag was diamond!
No one can recognize the difference.
As for their prices.
1,000,000 Huaxia coins, you can buy 20 kilograms.
That's 100,000 carats!
Just now, Meng Chen sent it to Su Can, only 5 kilograms.
That's 25,000 carats.
Worth 250,000 Chinese dollars.
Moreover, this is still a relatively well-processed Yuanneng stone slag, if according to Meng Chen's original idea, a cheaper type should be sent to Su Can.
Or directly send the remaining Yuan Energy Stone Slag from your own cultivation.
However, the hardness of the simple Yuanneng stone slag is slightly lower, and after leaving the Yuanli environment, it will begin to slowly transform its properties after three or five years, according to the prediction of modern technology, in about four or five hundred years, a piece of sesame-sized Yuanneng stone slag will be completely converted into other substances.
