Chapter 628: The Shock of a Super-Large Diamond, Moissanite! Testing, it's a luxury!
"The strong S-wave region is a flat, elliptical, thin layer that looks pitch black, which is different from the strong annihilation field."
"The light around the strong annihilation field is dim, and the strong S-wave region only annihilates the light itself, and does not affect the nearby area......"
"This could be caused by the force of the field being squeezed by a conventional environment."
"The material is carried from one side to the other, and the whole passes through the strong S-wave region, creating a high-heat reaction that surrounds the center with smoke."
"But it's still obvious that what comes in is black silicon carbide, and what comes out is transparent crystals."
"Look at ...... again"
In the temporary data room of the experimental base, a group of people stared at the live video to view, and the shooting angle was facing the center of the strong S-wave field force.
A lot of smoke blocked the view, but the situation could still be seen from both ends.
A large pile of silicon carbide, like a coal mine, was transported by the machine from one side into a thin layer of black field force, and then came out from the other end, turning into a large piece of transparent crystal.
It's a bit like dyeing, but it's much more shocking than dyeing, because what goes in is soot, and what comes out is a large lump of crystals, like a whole piece of stone.
The stone is colorless and transparent, emitting a silver glitter when illuminated by light.
"It looks like magic, but I can't imagine such a reaction."
"When will this large piece of transparent crystal be transported?"
"It should be soon, Academician Wang has already explained."
Many people who watched the video were very much looking forward to it, and they had already heard the report from the people at the scene, looking at the transparent crystal up close, it looked like there were a lot of large diamonds in it.
I was looking forward to that kind of scene.
The personnel at the experimental base waited for about three hours, and he finally waited for the helicopter to deliver a large piece of transparent hedrons.
This is already fast.
The release point of the strong S wave force area is more than 530 kilometers away from the experimental base, and it takes more than two hours for the helicopter to move forward at full speed.
A lot of people went to see the hedrons, and they all came there in lead clothes.
Although the moisser has been tested for radiation, it is determined that there is no high radiation that directly harms the human body, but everyone is still wearing a radiation-proof lead suit, after all, safety is the most important thing, they are just a close onlooker, no one touches it, and they are also worried about what will be wrong.
That large piece of transparent spar, with a volume of almost one cubic meter, can no longer be twisted at a close glance, and you can see that there are many regular polygonal small blocks of spar when you look inside.
When exposed to the sun, the small hedron sparkles and looks like beautiful diamonds.
The largest of them can even be the size of half a man's hand.
A group of people burst into discussion, "It's like a diamond, even though I know it's not." ”
"It's so beautiful, it can be used as jewelry, right?"
"It should be better than diamonds, with higher hardness, more stable physical and chemical properties, and more beautiful."
"Can this be considered natural? It's like that, and it doesn't need to be reprocessed or polished. ”
"It must be worth a lot of money!"
"If you take just one out there, it could become the most expensive gemstone in the world......"
"If it's sold in large quantities, the price won't be good, but I'm sure the international diamond market will be drastically affected."
Scarcity is expensive.
If you just take out a few moissanite, it will definitely be hyped up for a priceless price, even if you know that it is moissanite.
Until now, no silicon carbide in this form has been found on Earth.
This moissanite is harder than diamond, has more stable chemical and physical properties, and most importantly, is like a polished diamond when manufactured, and is brighter when illuminated.
In addition, the moissanite formed inside is much larger than ordinary diamonds.
Ordinary diamonds are calculated according to 'carats', and there is only a small piece of one carat, and the moissanite formed inside, the smaller ones are more than a few carats, and the larger ones are even a few centimeters.
Wang Hao also came to the front, and he also got the last black ash refined moissanite sample, but the sample is too small, and the beautiful spar on the computer picture is magnified many times before it is formed.
Now that I directly see the spar similar to a big diamond, it still gives people a very shocking feeling, Wang Hao's mood is the same as everyone else, he smiled, "It looks like a real fortune, such a large diamond ......"
"It's no problem to take it out as jewelry!"
Ding Zhiqiang also came back with the helicopter, he quickly came to Wang Hao's side, and said with an inviting credit, "Teacher Wang, this is my credit." ”
"They just experimented with elemental metals, alloys and other materials, and it was I who said to try moissanite, because the last time moissanite was detected, I thought of it."
Shao Kun, who returned together, also said, "It is indeed the credit of Professor Ding, he said that he would try it with moissine, and we still did the last experiment, I didn't expect it to be like this." ”
"It's incredible to turn coal into diamonds!"
Wang Hao also nodded appreciatively, "Xiaoding, you do have a lot of ideas, and we didn't expect it." ”
"You have a lot of credit, so let's do it, when the test is completed and it is determined that there is no harm to the human body, you can find a few pieces you like and take them back......"
"However, please note that you can't take out the base until the relevant results are released!"
Wang Hao said that the release of the results refers to letting the world know about this kind of thing, and the problem of secrecy will be lifted, and the spar can naturally be taken away.
The others were immediately very envious.
It's something very similar to a diamond, even more valuable than a diamond, and it's so big that it's worth a lot of money.
Wang Hao actually promised to take a few pieces, that is, he could choose at will.
Those envious eyes were about to overflow, and Wang Hao simply said, "In this way, when the confidentiality is lifted, everyone can get a piece, and it will be regarded as a bonus." ”
"Hula~~"
"Great, I love this bonus!"
"Give this to my wife, she must like it very much, I gave her the largest diamond in the world."
"Take this to send a girl, can you marry the goddess home?"
"Are you talking about Deng Jing? We all know you like her......"
"you."
Everyone was very excited.
Although the manufacturing process of moissanite is very simple and it is not a diamond at all, the manufacturing involves high-end technology, and the strong S-wave technology is only available in the experimental base, which is not something that can be obtained at will.
Moissanite definitely has a higher potential as a 'jewel' than diamond, and its value is definitely not low.
Some of the female researchers, such as Helen and Chen Mengmeng, feel very excited, no woman can refuse such a big 'diamond'.
The eyes they looked at Ding Zhiqiang were different.
Chen Mengmeng quickly walked over and said to Ding Zhiqiang gently, "Zhiqiang, can you give me one?" Let's take care of the senior sister. ”
"And me, I'll have one too."
"Cut~~~"
Ding Zhiqiang pouted disdainfully, "Impossible, this is all mine, you also said to introduce me to a girlfriend, and when the time comes, I will send a ......"
"Hey, hey, hey~~"
Chen Mengmeng said sneeringly, "Otherwise, the two of us will go on a blind date?" When the time comes, you can give me one. ”
Ding Zhiqiang looked Chen Mengmeng up and down, and immediately shook his head and said, "I don't know you yet?" Want to trick my big diamond into getting it...... Don't even think about it! ”
“——!”
Chen Mengmeng immediately gritted her teeth, she and Helen glanced at each other, and felt that it was more reliable to pin their hopes on Teacher Wang.
As long as Mr. Wang speaks, what big diamond can't be obtained?
……
Wang Hao doesn't care about this at all, because the manufacturing process is really simple, put a lot of cheap silicon carbide (emery), you can get a large amount of carbon silica crystal, the manufacturing cost can be said to be very low, and the process of doing research can make a lot.
Of course, it's not the same at all.
This would definitely be a very popular piece of artificial jewelry, it has a very beautiful shape, and it is harder than diamond, which is an enhanced version of the diamond.
Diamonds are not all natural.
The flower grower is the producer of 'artificial diamonds', but most of the artificial diamonds produced are also used in industry, and some will be polished into diamonds, most of which are also small diamonds, and it is not easy to make large carat diamonds, and the cost is also very high.
Nowadays, smaller moiss, all of which are a few carats in size, will definitely become a very popular piece of jewelry.
If a large number of them are put on the market, it is enough to squeeze out all the diamond market.
These are things for the future.
Now Wang Hao is more concerned with research, and he hopes to know the structure of moissanite and how it is formed.
It's the underlying principle that counts.
In order to understand the underlying principle, it is necessary to do further testing of moissanite.
He immediately asked people to send a part of the moissilicate to the material testing center, so that Wang Hui's laboratory could do more in-depth testing experiments.
……
Wang Hui Laboratory.
All the researchers were stunned by the materials that had just arrived.
The last time they analyzed and studied the black ash material, they found a very special moissanite, which felt beautiful after magnification, and also found that moissanite has very special physical and chemical properties.
Wang Hui applied for new materials, and they all thought that more black ash would be shipped over.
Outcome......
Big, superdiamonds?
Everyone gathered around, looking carefully at the transparent hedron placed on the ground.
The transparent spar is a single piece, about half a cubic meter in size, with the edges of the machine cut, and the surface can also be seen, with several large 'diamonds' cut open.
A lot of people are feeling heartache.
They looked inside the transparent spar and saw that there were many 'big diamonds' inside, and they didn't know what to say for a while.
They all had the same thought in their minds, "It's a waste of this kind of thing for experiments, isn't it?" ”
"Look at the big diamonds in there, do a chemistry experiment? Physical experiments? ”
"I can't do it."
"Experiments are simply extravagant."
"It's not a diamond, it's a silicon carbon crystal, but I feel like the world will be shocked if these things are released, right?"
"Silicon carbon crystals are harder than diamond, more stable in chemical and physical properties, and more beautiful...... It's the perfect piece of jewelry! ”
"It's not a diamond, but you can't tell the difference between it."
"Look at the number of oversized ones in there, with a diameter of more than 4 centimeters, right?"
Many people have the urge to take the 'big diamonds' inside for themselves, but unfortunately the military who sent the materials will supervise the use of the materials, and they will take away a few 'big diamonds' in the process of separating the transparent crystals.
Even so, there are a lot of smaller 'diamond' crystals.
Wang Hui maintained his mentality and gave others an education, "Don't always look at it, it's not a diamond, it's an experimental material." ”
"We're going to do testing."
"If you look at this large piece of material, you know that it's easy to make, it's really like a diamond, but some of the materials we're experimenting with are not cheaper than diamonds."
That's true.
When first-order elements are involved, especially when the strength of the annihilation force field is high, and it is difficult to refine first-order elements, the value will only be higher than that of diamonds.
Others have also stabilized their mentality and started to get into the work state in earnest.
The appearance of moissanite is very shocking, but for the researchers, what is even more shocking is the physical and chemical properties it exhibits.
In terms of physical properties, the first is the ultra-high hardness, there are so many materials, they quickly completed the hardness test, and determined that the Vickers hardness reached more than 147GPa.
This figure is about 1.5 times that of diamond.
At the same time, moissanite also has strong toughness, and it is not easy to polish.
They also found that moissanite has a high melting point.
'Melting point' refers to the melting of the spar in a vacuum.
In a normal environment, when a certain temperature is reached, moissanite will burn.
This temperature value is '3260 degrees Celsius', which is easier to burn in an environment of liquid oxygen, and the temperature requirement is 2730 degrees Celsius.
The laboratory has also tested the chemical properties of moissilisite.
Chemical properties, that is, to make moissilate undergo a chemical reaction, combustion is also a chemical reaction.
Others include 'oxidation'.
Moissanite and diamond have similar properties and both have very stable chemical properties.
The laboratory uses the same method as diamond oxidation, that is, when it is boiled in a melt of Na2CO3, NaNO3, KNO3, or with a mixture of K2Cr2O7 and H2SO4, the surface of the spar will be oxidized.
However, the oxidation of moissanite is not easy, requiring a temperature of 1900 degrees Celsius.
The mixture of K2Cr2O7 and H2SO4 has been gasified, and it was found that moissanite produced a weak oxidation phenomenon in the high-density gasification environment.
After oxidation, the surface of moissanite turns grayish-black.
After completing a series of physical and chemical property determinations, Wang Hui and Zhou Qing led the laboratory to complete the determination of the 'melting point' together.
The determination of the melting point of moissanite is very difficult, mainly because the determination of the melting point requires a vacuum environment and the temperature required is very high.
They had been heated to 3,800 degrees Celsius before, and they had not melted the moissanite.
They redesigned the experiment and raised the temperature to 4,600 degrees Celsius, only to find that moissanite had melted.
After melting, moissanite is also very similar to diamond, turning into a pile of black lumpy impurities, and there is no longer the original transparency and beauty.
