Chapter 22: Oversized Diamonds
Seeing Su Hong's somewhat unhappy appearance, Xiaobai smiled, lay on the bed and said to Su Hong: "It's okay to buy diamonds, but we can make one ourselves." ”
"Huh? How to do it by hand? Isn't it possible to use beer bottles as emeralds? And aren't you allergic to diamonds? ”
Xiaobai looked at Su Hong and said with some confusion: "Allergic to diamonds?" Why am I allergic to diamonds? ”
Do you want to euphemistically state your guesses?
"For example, dying in your arms... Comrade in arms? It's like setting a death flag, going back to get married after the war, or something. ”
It's too direct to say that a boyfriend or ex-boyfriend is too direct, or to be a tactful comrade-in-arms, just like the statement of what I have a friend to do, people will always pop up from a corner of the world for no reason a friend they don't know, but this friend has a lot of troubles, and it happens that he still knows it.
"Comrade-in-arms? I have always fought alone, I will never put my life on others, at that time, any living thing within a radius of one kilometer will be wary of me, and I will not hesitate to attack any threatening life within 100 meters of me. ”
"Don't you have a city?"
"During that time, I usually don't go to crowded places."
"So, by the way, let me ask the question, do I look like your ex-boyfriend?"
Although this kind of thing shouldn't be asked, Su Hong just couldn't hold back and wanted to ask, he also wanted to smack himself, but he still wanted to know if Xiaobai regarded himself as a substitute.
Xiaobai touched his chin: "Ex-boyfriend? If you want to talk about your ex-boyfriend, you've seen her too. ”
"I've seen it? It can't be my roommate, right? ”
"How is it possible, I don't know them." Xiaobai shook his head, then pointed down at the bed with his finger down.
“?”
Did you know each other in bed? Is it so open?
"Just give me a hint and live downstairs."
Downstairs? Isn't your sister living downstairs? How did you become an ex-boyfriend? Wait, ah, this...
"Is it your sister?"
"Well, I promised her that if I didn't find a boyfriend or girlfriend, I would marry her."
The sea of stars swept through Su Hong's mind, and finally turned into a field of lilies, full of lilies.
"But aren't you sisters?"
"Any questions?"
"Uh... It's a bit of a problem for humans. ”
"But we're not human, and that's just a last resort, and to be honest, I hope that kid can find someone she likes." Xiao Bai turned over, and lay flat on the bed like Su Hong, looking up at the white ceiling.
"Doesn't she like you?"
"She does like me, but that's not going to work."
"Why?"
Su Hong thought of many reasons in an instant, the obstruction of the family, the distorted heart, the taboos of the ancients, the secrets he carried, the involvement of interests, countless reasons could be reasons for obstruction.
"Because I just thought of her as a sister, and I didn't think she really wanted to marry me at the time."
Good ordinary reason.
"I see."
"So, let's make diamonds, you make one for me, and I'll make one for you." Xiaobai pulled Su Hong up from the bed.
took a bottle of beer and drank it all, and then jumped directly to Mu Lingxuan's house on the 9th floor with an empty beer bottle, since the last living room was opened by Mu Lingxuan, this hole has become a passage up and down the stairs, although there is no basis, but Su Hong always feels that the house will become a dangerous building if it goes on like this.
Su Hong looked around and found that Mu Lingxuan was not at home at the moment, and Xiaobai did not treat his sister as an outsider at all, so he assigned the workshop to Su Hong by himself, as for Xiaobai himself, he did not need props to assist.
Su Hong sat on the chair in the workshop and sighed, it was dark before, but on the top of the shelf on the right hand side was a row of very realistic Xiaobai's heads made of different materials, which made Su Hong a little creepy.
Su Hong intends to cut the diamond according to the method of the net, and the Asche cut method is applied to the emerald gemstone is rectangular, plus other chamfers to form a nearly octagonal shape, and the bottom is cut into symmetrical and parallel facets, intersecting at the center point of the bottom.
Picked up the hammer and smashed the beer bottle with a bang, in order to prevent the debris from splashing and hurting himself, Su Hong stood far away.
Select some glass blocks of the right shape and size, carry out preliminary processing, process them to the right size, and then polish the surface, grind it, and remove the glass grain.
The next step is to process into a diamond, starting with the crown of the diamond.
After some operation, every cut is perfect and looks very beautiful, but if you take it a little farther, it will make people feel a little awkward when you look at it as a whole.
Su Hong processed this "emerald" diamond again according to his feelings, but this processing made him feel even more awkward.
Su Hong looked at the diamond in his hand and felt that it was better to rearrange it.
However, Su Hong didn't throw it away, it's not bad to do it first and find the problem, and you can do it better next time.
Next, use a coarse grinding disc to polish the pavilion, so that the cutting is fast, and you can quickly find out the approximation, and then the fine grinding disc is carefully carved, and finally polished, so that the diamond looks crystal clear.
Once all the processes are done, rinse with clean water and dry with a paper towel, and an emerald diamond is complete.
It's just that after comparing the diamonds in the video, Su Hong always felt that it was a bit worse, and he didn't know what the problem was.
Su Hong sighed, he is not this material, he has been doing handwork since he was a child, and he has not done handwork for a long time, his hands are shaking, and even Su Hong doubts whether he has Parkinson's.
By the way, there are also shelves to prevent hand trembling, and the height can be fixed, so that the processing is easier.
Su Hong made another one, and this time it looks okay, but it's still a little wrong.
Obviously, it doesn't feel difficult, but it's just not right, Su Hong hates this feeling that he seems to be able to do well but can't do it, if it's something out of reach, just try it, but this feeling of being within reach and untouchable, just like the psychology of a gambler who wants to get back to his roots, makes Su Hong fall into it.
When he came back to his senses after Su Hong had made a satisfactory work, it was almost evening, and there were a pile of failed products next to him.
Looking out the window, although the rain had long since stopped, the sky was still gloomy, as if it would rain at any time.
Su Hong rubbed his somewhat stiff shoulders, turned his neck, stretched his hands and feet, and stretched his waist.
Su Hong looked at the pile of failures next to him and fell into deep thought.
I only brought a beer bottle, how can I make so many diamonds? According to the law of conservation of mass, this is not scientific at all. Could it be that there is a bug in the earth OL?
Su Hong thought about it again, and it was estimated that Xiaobai put it in, but he was too focused so he didn't notice it.
Su Hong pushed open the door and went out with the emerald diamond he was most satisfied with.
walked to the living room, but didn't see anyone, only saw a super-large diamond, pure and transparent, without impurities, flashing dazzling in the center of the living room, almost flashing Su Hong's titanium alloy dog eyes.
This oversized size is not an exaggeration, and even Su Hong feels that it is a bit euphemistic to describe it as oversized.
Other people's diamonds are calculated in carats, but in front of Su Hong, it has to be calculated in kilograms, almost two Su Hong can hug this diamond, and Su Hong's height is about one meter eight, you can imagine how huge this diamond is.
Su Hong looked at the emerald diamond in his hand, although he worked hard to get it, but there was no harm if there was no comparison, it was simply the difference between heaven and earth, there was a difference between cloud and mud.
But how is this done? You won't come back with a diamond essence, will you?
"Are you ready? Show me. Xiaobai came out of the master bedroom, and she rested for a while.
Su Hong subconsciously put the emerald diamond he made in his pocket, but he really couldn't take it: "It's not good, it's not good-looking, let's talk about it later." ”
Xiaobai walked in, took Su Hong's hand, and took the emerald diamond made by Su Hong by the way: "I still prefer you to make it yourself than to buy it with money on the Internet." ”
"Oh... Oh..."Su Hong turned his head, he didn't have the courage to look at Xiaobai, this time he turned his head and saw the diamonds in the living room again, and suddenly felt a lot inferior.
"Hehe~" Xiaobai didn't know where to take out the ring, and set Su Hong's emerald diamond with his bare hands, and then put it on his hand: "Is it good-looking?" ”
"Not as good-looking as you." Su Hong stared at the oversized diamond made by Xiaobai and said.
This diamond is also fantastic, I really can't think of how to make a diamond of this quality, even if Su Hong doesn't know much about diamonds, but the diamond in front of him is flawless, even if you look carefully, there is no way to find the problem, and the emerald diamond made by Su Hong, if you look closely, you can also find the small bubbles inside.
Su Hong, who was staring at the diamond, didn't notice that Xiaobai lowered his head a little embarrassed, but Xiaobai didn't realize that Su Hong was talking about diamonds, after all, if Su Hong wanted to flirt with his sister, just thinking that he was flirting with his sister would start to get stuck.
However, Xiaobai is Xiaobai after all, and his ability to adjust his emotions is also very strong, so he quickly raised his head and replaced it with a smiling expression.
"I'm much better at making diamonds than those in the jewelry store, aren't I?"
"Indeed."
"Then I'll give it to you, in exchange for the diamonds you gave me."
"Huh... Is that really good? "If you sell this diamond, you probably won't be able to spend all the money for the rest of your life.
"It's just a casual thing I did, and I'll show you what a real gem looks like later." Xiaobai said triumphantly, "Although it may be very valuable to you, but to my world, there is a very mature industrial magic technology to make this kind of diamond, which is an ordinary product, and is used in industry and daily life on a large scale, such as making dishes and chopsticks." ”
Su Hong felt that he understood why Xiaobai was unhappy, it turned out that this was a cultural difference.
