Chapter 258: Red Diamond
It can be said that golden silk nanmu is one of the most expensive woods in the world.
In ancient times, this kind of wood can only be used by the royal family, so it is also called emperor wood, except for a small number of temples, others can not be used indiscriminately.
In Chinese architecture, Jinsi Nanmu has always been regarded as the most ideal, the most precious, and the most advanced building materials, because Jinsi Nanmu is corrosion-resistant, insect avoidant, warm in winter and cool in summer, not easy to deform, fine and magnificent texture, exquisite and abnormal, so it is widely used in palaces, temples and mausoleums.
In recent years, the furniture of golden silk nanmu has frequently sold for sky-high prices.
Even the logs of golden silk nanmu are ridiculously valuable.
It is no exaggeration to say that if you have one or two mature golden silk nanmu in your family, you will be rich.
"Ahh Is this the golden silk nanmu? ”
"It looks like this."
"How much is such a big golden silk nanmu worth?"
"Let's talk less about hundreds of thousands!"
"Hundreds of thousands? Wash and sleep! Such a large golden silk nanmu, if it is not hollow, it starts from a million. ”
"Underestimated, at least 10 million."
……
In the live broadcast room, the more the audience chatted, the more outrageous it became.
In front of Zhang Yaohua and the others was a big tree with a diameter of about one meter, which was also very standard and straight. If this is golden silk nanmu, there are many things that can be created.
Pity! Everyone can only look at the greed, who dares to move?
Nowadays, ordinary forest trees, if you cut them privately, you are at risk of going to jail, let alone this precious wood.
You must know that now the golden silk nanmu is still a national second-class protected plant.
Some people are beginning to worry that the exposure of such a precious tree will attract peeps? In case someone steals it, who will bear the responsibility?
There are also people who have a different view on this.
Once this valuable thing is exposed, it attracts attention, but it is safer. Because everyone knows that there is a golden silk nanmu here, and they are all staring at it! Who would dare to do it?
Not to mention ordinary people, even if they are people with a little energy, they have to be afraid of three points, think twice before starting, and ask yourself if you can get to the bottom of it.
Therefore, it is a good thing to be exposed.
In fact, after the exposure of the program, the relevant departments also noticed the tree, and the next step is to take protective measures, such as installing infrared cameras and other monitoring means nearby.
Director Wang reminded: "Let's go!" Today we're looking for a white-lipped deer. ”
As soon as these words came out, the audience in the live broadcast room laughed.
In fact, since yesterday, the white-lipped deer should have been on the lookout. But yesterday I went to look for the missing person, and today I first met the injured giant panda, and then met this precious golden silk nanmu.
The task of finding the white-lipped deer dragged on and on.
Thanks to Director Wang, he hasn't forgotten what they're going to do.
They walked for about an hour, and Gawa walked around the neighborhood twice, looking a little lost at his appearance.
"Brother Gava, what's wrong?" Teacher Huang couldn't help but ask.
Although he could still hold on, he was almost gritting his teeth. is already a little older, and his physical strength is not as good as before, and this time he has to drill into the mountains, which is more tiring than the usual mountain climbing.
"I've seen the white-lipped deer around here before, but I didn't see it this time."
Someone said, "I can't see normal!" People can't all stay here, right? ”
Gava shook her head: "You don't understand, many animals have their own range of activities. The white-lipped deer has a range of two or three kilometers.
We're standing here, and we can almost see it. ”
Where they are now, the altitude is relatively high, and you can almost see it within a radius of two or three kilometers. What's more, Gava still came with a telescope to look for it, but she didn't find it.
"There are so many trees, maybe they're hidden." Zhou Ziqi said.
Only Zhang Yaohua knew that the white-lipped deer was nearly ten kilometers away from here!
Zhang Yaohua explained: "Maybe I went out to find a partner." ”
It seemed to be a joke, but it made Gawa suddenly realize that she slapped her head: "Ah! Yes, it is possible. It also disappeared for a while around this time of the previous year. ”
Director Wang was dumbfounded.
So what to do?
So many people are watching online! All waiting to see the white-lipped deer. Now, tell me, that white-lipped deer went out to find his daughter-in-law? Didn't you come for nothing?
After Gawa finished speaking, she looked at Director Wang, her expression a little embarrassed.
Everyone then subconsciously looked at Zhang Yaohua, as if he was the core of the entire program group.
Since yesterday, the show seems to be led by Zhang Yaohua.
Zhang Yaohua pointed to a nearby hoof print and said: "This should be the hoof print of the white-lipped deer, follow this hoof print, there is a high probability that you can find the white-lipped deer." ”
Only then did you see that the hoof prints next to the grass, if you look carefully, you can find others, although they are very shallow, but you can still find them if you look carefully.
Everyone had to sigh at Zhang Yaohua's observation, and the degree of carefulness was terrifying.
"Yaohua, if you don't become a policeman, you're wasting your talent." Zhou Ziqi teased.
If you go to be a police officer, the crime solving rate will not soar? To do that kind of thing, what you need most is patience and vision to find evidence, which is what Zhang Yaohua is good at.
Zhang Yaohua smiled and thought to himself: If I go to be a policeman, the criminals will be miserable.
It's not that he's arrogant, with this golden finger, finding the murderer is as easy as drinking water and eating.
Gawa continued to look for the hoof prints of the white-lipped deer in front of her, and followed the hoof prints.
After a while, Zhang Yaohua suddenly called Gawa, who was living in front of him.
The mountain road ahead is not easy to walk, full of vines, thorns, shrubs, etc., and he needs to use the mountain knife in front to split some plants that stand in the way.
"Brother Gawa, slow down!"
Ga Wa looked back at Zhang Yaohua with a blank expression.
Everyone else has the same emoji.
And Director Wang chuckled in his heart, feeling that the rhythm of looking for the white-lipped deer was about to be interrupted again.
Sure enough, as he expected.
Zhang Yaohua walked over and removed Gava's mountain knife from a plant.
"You can't cut it! It's so rare that it's gone. Zhang Yaohua told him.
Everyone's eyes looked at the plant, trying to make out it.
I saw that the plant looked like a palm, four or five meters high, with a yellow-orange flower in the middle, in the form of a cylinder.
Everyone looks a little familiar.
"Is it rare? How do I feel like I've seen it in the park? ”
"Really, I feel like I've seen it, what's going on? What is this thing called? I forgot. ”
……
A lot of people have expressed their opinions.
Even Teacher Huang looked at Zhang Yaohua in disbelief: "Yaohua, what is this plant called?" I look familiar with it, I think I've seen it in a botanical garden, it's not very rare, right? ”
Zhang Yaohua shook his head slightly: "Strictly speaking, this plant is almost extinct, and it is the same nature as the South China tiger." ”
Yes?
The crowd was amazed again.
So serious?
After hearing this, Gava also broke out in a cold sweat.
If I had cut it down with a knife just now, I don't know if I would have gone to jail or not.
Zhang Yaohua continued: "This is called the Wood cycad, which is one of the rarest plants in the world, and has been listed as an extinct species in the wild. Prior to this, the only wild Wood cycad found in the world was located on a slope on the edge of the Noye Forest in South Africa.
It is also clear to everyone that there is only one plant left in the wild, and it is almost certain that it will be extinct.
We still have South China tigers, but only those in the zoo are left, and if you want to reproduce, you can only breed close to your parents. Everyone should know the consequences of inbreeding.
I didn't expect that in our country, there would be a wild Wood cycad.
Director Wang, in my opinion, you should contact the relevant institutions! This means a lot. ”
Get! Director Wang knew that things were not so simple.
No, the rhythm is being taken off again.
However, since a plant of this level has been discovered, it is necessary to notify the relevant authorities anyway. As Zhang Yaohua said, this is of great significance to Wood cycads, and it is also of great significance to China's biodiversity research.
So, he had no choice but to contact the relevant departments.
The other party was an expert in rare creatures, and when he heard the news, he almost thought it was a pastime for him.
After all, in the consciousness of many biologists, the native Wood cycads should be Africa, and other continents do not have them. Now, he has been told that wild Wood cycads have been found in Sichuan.
Isn't that a joke?
However, when he saw the picture, his eyes were going to pop out.
Even under the guidance of Director Wang, he also opened the platform of the live broadcast of the show to watch, and after his observation, it was almost certain that it was indeed a wild Wood cycad.
He immediately asked Director Wang for the specific location and said that he would send someone over immediately.
The audience in the live broadcast room looked at each other.
I thought it was an ordinary show, but I didn't expect it to be so fun, and I can always find something strange.
If it goes on like this, after filming this season of the show, I don't know how many emergencies and strange things I encountered.
The previous search for Chinese sturgeon detonated the ground cage incident, which made many people aware of finless porpoises and white sturgeons; Yesterday, I started to look for white-lipped deer, first I helped find the missing geological research members, found a mysterious tomb, and then today I met giant pandas, golden silk nanmu, etc.
Accidents always come so suddenly.
The show doesn't follow the routine!
Not to mention their audience, even the director of the show is numb. Everyone can see Director Wang's expression.
"! I checked it, and if it was a wild Wood cycad, it seemed to be the second wild Wood cycad in the world, which was indeed rare enough. ”
"You have to be the owner of the island!" There are also many fans of Zhang Yaohua in the live broadcast room, so they naturally called the island owner.
"You may not know much about the island owner, but he is a man who is known as the blessing of Mazu by the villagers."
……
The program team stayed for a while and set off again.
Director Wang only hopes that this time there will be no more moths and find the white-lipped deer as soon as possible. Don't spend the night in the mountains today! There are so many people, although the safety is guaranteed, but it is not convenient after all.
This time it was a long walk, and everyone rested by a small stream.
Gava also searched for the tracks of many animals by the creek and identified them as white-lipped deer.
He told everyone, "That's right! The white-lipped deer has been here, and the hoof prints are still fresh, within a day or two. ”
Well, it means that the white-lipped deer is not far from them.
Hearing this, Director Wang breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yaohua, what did you pick up?" Zhu Weiguang's eyes were sharp, and he saw that Zhang Yaohua seemed to have picked up something.
Zhang Yaohua stretched out his hand, and the palm of his hand was a red thing, a bit like a gemstone.
Zhu Weiguang's people quickly attracted the attention of others, and they all looked at the things in Zhang Yaohua's palm.
"Yikes! It seems to be ruby, let me see. Zhou Ziqi reacted the fastest.
She had wanted to buy a ruby pendant before, so she went out of her way to find out.
Women! There is little resistance to these things. There are few women who are not interested in jewelry.
Zhang Yaohua handed it to her.
The crowd was speechless.
Are you here to make a show? How do you feel like you're on a treasure hunt?
They were also convinced.
If this is a ruby, how much is it worth? In everyone's impression, rubies seem to be very expensive, one carat is tens of thousands. That one was the size of a toe thumb.
There are knowledgeable people who give a standard.
A gemstone the size of a thumb, equivalent to 5 carats. Therefore, a gemstone the size of the thumb of the foot is at least 10 carats or more.
Ruby, also known as red corundum, has a difficult mining environment, relatively few origins, and most rubies have cracks, flaws, fissures, etc., so pure rubies are very rare.
Rare things are expensive, and the price of rubies is naturally unattainable.
After looking at it for a while, Zhou Ziqi shook his head: "It doesn't feel like a ruby." ”
Zhang Yaohua took it and said with a smile: "This is indeed not a ruby, it is a red diamond." ”
"Red diamonds? Diamonds? ”
Wouldn't that be more expensive?
Diamonds are inherently expensive, let alone colored diamonds.
Although now our country can make diamonds, breaking the myth of diamonds. But the price of natural colored diamonds is still outrageous. Like a red diamond, much higher than a ruby.
Red diamonds are rare natural red diamonds, which are the rare, precious diamonds among gemstones and the highest price per carat diamond on the market.
In terms of value, it is not the pure red diamonds that are the most expensive, the most valuable are the red diamonds with purple tones, followed by the pure red diamonds, and then the red diamonds with orange tones, and the red diamonds with a brown hue are the least valuable.
And what Zhang Yaohua picked up this time was a red diamond with a purple hue.
"Impossible, right?" Someone immediately expressed disbelief.
Or maybe you don't want to believe it.
Because they saw the information about red diamonds, which were dug up in the world for less than 100 carats, which was too rare.
At present, the largest red diamond found in the world is only 5 carats, and a 1 carat red diamond of ordinary color costs millions. No kidding, a carat is a few million, and if it is made into jewelry, it is even more expensive.
"I don't think it's possible, I haven't heard of red diamonds in our country."
"You know a fart, our country is a big country, how many good things are hidden under the ground, you know all of them? It's hilarious! ”
"The world's largest red diamond is only a few carats, and he picked up at least ten carats, right? Is it possible? ”
"Why can't it be?"
……
In the live broadcast room, the audience sprayed each other again.
The people present looked at each other.
If this is a red diamond, if it is auctioned, tens of millions of dollars will be easy! Even if it's over 100 million yuan, it's too fast to make money, right?
Even Teacher Huang swallowed his saliva: "It can't really be a red diamond, right?" ”
Zhang Yaohua didn't explain much: "Go back and find a professional appraisal agency for identification!" ”
