Chapter 375 Wang Xu’s Engagement Ring Project

After playing for a few days, Wang Xu took Wang Fei home. He had no choice but to do it. He still had a lot of things to deal with in the imperial capital. Wang Fei also had to go back to prepare for various end-of-year parties. From the end of December to During the Spring Festival, Wang Fei's busiest performance season in the mainland is.

There are various evening parties organized by TV stations, as well as some purely commercial performances, the kind of platters. The performance is not complicated, just fly over, sing a few songs, and then everything will be fine. Wang Jinghua will arrange all other things.

Wang Fei's market in the mainland is basically run by Wang Jinghua. This is a two-faceted thing. Wang Fei is the boss. Now all the shares of the entire studio are under Wang Fei's name. Wang Xu has quit all of them since joining Shuimu.

Except for the shell company that holds all the patents, the remaining shares are owned by Wang Fei, at least on the surface.

Wang Xu didn't engage in any overseas registration. On the one hand, he was too lazy to bother, and the new boss Wang Fei was even lazy. She had no interest in doing business at all. According to her habit, as long as she didn't lose money, she would continue to do it. If you lose, close the business.

On the other hand, for Wang Xu, his money came so fast that he felt a little hot, so he might as well repay the society in the form of taxes and fees. The young couple really couldn't spend much money.

In her previous life, Wang Fei also had a hobby of shopping and buying clothes. In this life, she even saved money on this. Whether it is her own trendy brands or fashionable clothing brands, there are countless merchants willing to sell clothes in white. Give it to her.

Now that she is too famous, she cannot go out shopping, unless she is taking various stage shots with the camera team, which are all agreed in advance. It is almost impossible to imagine casual shopping like before.

Therefore, her current clothing brand "Fei Mainstream" actually operates more like a boutique. Some brand stores will regularly send new clothes to Wang Fei, and Wang Fei will match them herself and then sell them in her own store.

But these extra items couldn't even be piled up, so Tang Yun found a store manager and opened a store opposite the small courtyard that specialized in selling clothes that Wang Fei didn't like.

The name is "Not Fei Mainstream" and it is located next to the "Fei Mainstream" clothing store.

The decoration is relatively simple, not even a wooden model is placed, similar to the business style of a small clothing store that was popular in this era.

The clothes are just hanging, there are no duplicates, and there are not many numbers. You can pick them as you like, first come first served, and they will close when they are sold out.

The price is much lower than that of the authentic store, and it looks like a later Taobao store.

Many young girls who are short of money especially like to go there to shop for clothes. If they are not careful, they can buy very good clothes at very cheap prices.

This is Wang Fei's way of enjoying herself with the people. The clothes she didn't pick out are of no use, so it would be a pity to keep them.

People in this era really don't have the habit of waste, so they simply sell it very cheaply, making the nearby neighbors happy too.

Most of the residents in the surrounding area are just ordinary people with little money and no taste for fashion. Most of the clothes are from big brands. Even if they are half the price, they are not within the reach of most ordinary people.

On the contrary, many young artistic people who gather in this area especially like to buy and sell here.

No matter what you say, Wang Fei's clothes here can be considered a good thing to add some fashionable atmosphere to this area.

After returning home, the young couple told the parents of the two families about the matter. The parents were overjoyed. Unexpectedly, the two of them, who had been wandering around, suddenly understood after going out for a walk.

Then things started to get busy, and they could only get engaged first. Wang Xu was not yet old enough, but he could indeed drink the engagement wine.

In this era, rings were not used for engagement. It seemed that this habit had not really become popular in China, but Wang Xu had an idea.

Taking advantage of Wang Fei's performance in the south, he immediately applied for a project and submitted a series of documents including a project report. The name was "Development and Research of Wang Xu's Engagement Ring."

Then, with Professor Yan and Director Jiang having weird expressions on their faces, they rushed into the school factory. He planned to make some changes to some nodes of the growth method to make the growth method produce greater pressure and higher temperature. Of course, growth The space becomes correspondingly smaller.

This is what he saw from some news from later generations. Henan relied on this thing to toss the jewelry market around the world to the point of collapse.

Yes, he planned to get some artificial diamonds. This thing is not unusual. The principle has been around for a long time. After all, diamonds are just the crystal structure of carbon. If there are other elements doped in it, then it is a colored diamond. If not, it is a pure diamond. Drill.

"A diamond is forever," is the Chinese translation of "A diamond is forever". The English word is the commercial slogan of De Beers in 1951. Later, with its operation, diamonds were turned into mid-to-high-end luxury goods.

This Chinese translation of this sentence was solicited from the whole society through Ogilvy \u0026 Mather Hong Kong this year, and a teacher's translation won. I have to say that this translation even sounds more charming than the original text.

Later in China, De Beers even used this advertisement to turn a piece of rubbish into hard currency linked to marriage, which made countless men who wanted to get married hate it.

Until artificial diamonds were put on the market in large quantities, ordinary people were suddenly confused, and the prices in the second-hand market fell to those of real stones.

The myth of diamonds began to slowly fade away from China and gradually returned to its original properties.

Wang Xu plans to make an artificial diamond. The raw material is the hair of Wang Fei and Wang Xu. Yes, it is made of hair. This business will be available in later generations. The main ingredients of hair are carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. When burned into ash, the remaining The main thing is carbon.

Of course, there will be some other impurities, and most of the non-metallic impurities will be removed. Those impurities will affect the quality of the diamond, such as cracks, turbidity, etc.

And some metal impurities must be retained, and these impurities can form different colors of diamonds, allowing each customized diamond to show a different color.

The processing technology of artificial diamonds in this era was immature. Until later generations, it was still difficult to process large diamonds of several carats.

But Wang Xu doesn't have this problem. This is just a derivative application of the growth method. With complete basic research, it is not difficult to expand the pressure and temperature.

From changing the equipment to finally processing the diamond into shape, it only took about ten days. The day has come. Of course, it still needs to be polished into a sparkling ring surface.

This process sounds magical, but in fact it is just making full use of various scattering and reflections. If you want to split the light into colorful colors, you have to scatter it. If you just want to shine, then try to use total reflection. Simple optical principles .

Years of manual experience and careful design may still be credible in an era without optical principles. In modern times where science is highly developed, it is a joke.

The lens processing of any optical instrument is much more complicated than diamonds. The only difficulty in polishing diamonds is their high purity and hardness, which makes processing them a bit troublesome.

As for using diamond as a lens, it is actually not good because it is too brittle and difficult to process. It is not the most ideal optical material. However, because diamond has good light transmittance, a small amount is used in some more sophisticated lasers. Diamonds are processed.

Therefore, most artificial diamonds are basically used to make drill bits, which rely on the hardness of diamonds to dig into the earth, cut various high-hardness materials, etc. Even scalpels can be made of diamonds.

Wang Xu also wanted to disgust De Beers by doing this. In his previous life, his girlfriend asked him for several carats of diamonds. In this life, I will just be a big one. Then let Wang Fei unintentionally promote it to see if he can still toss in China whether a diamond ring is necessary for marriage.

At this time, De Beers has not yet sold a large amount of diamonds in China. Once Wang Xu's patent is released, you can be sure that the streets will be filled with cheap artificial diamonds. No matter how high-end you brag about, they will not be worth much.

Compared with meaningless products, Wang Xu is developing the concept of "hair diamonds". This has been the concept of China for thousands of years. For couples who are married, what could be better than a sparkling diamond for married couples? A beautiful meaning?

Regarding this wave of cultural promotion, Wang Xu asked De Beers if you dared to follow it.

"Damn it, you really made a diamond. I said that the growth method might be able to grow diamond crystals." Professor Yan couldn't help but swear, looking at the diamond crystals that Wang Xu had just finished crystallizing but had not yet polished.

This is a large piece with a diameter of about two centimeters. It is crystal clear and has a light blue-green color. This is the color brought by the loading of metal ions.

The growth method is actually a general term. This method includes not only the chemical vapor deposition method, but also some ion transport and processing methods. Therefore, its growth rate, crystallization rate, and controllability are far from Ordinary vapor deposition methods are comparable.

This is why Mizuki has developed almost countless new ideas based on this project, and this trend has begun to expand outward.

The entire content of the growth method is relatively confidential in Shuimu. Even most of the participants can only understand a small part of the entire growth method. Only a few core members have an overall understanding of the growth method itself.

Even the papers produced by the growth method itself are treated as confidential papers and are not disclosed to the outside world at all. The papers are published in China's internal confidential paper journals.

This is why Wang Xu estimates that the growth method project can produce at least two academicians.

But it’s not just Mizuki’s professors who can see those papers. Other universities can also see them, especially the Chinese Academy of Sciences and some digital research institutes. There are still a large number of scholars who can see these papers.

This brand-new theory can be said to have opened the horizons of some people. Various conjectures and theories were put forward, and a large number of people devoted themselves to in-depth research. This is the power of Wang Xu.

He broke off a stick of graphene, and without even waiting for the growth method to actually grow graphene, he used tape to prove the existence of graphene.

Then, this guy walked away, leaving behind piles of scientific research projects and even unsolved mysteries about the principles.

But absolutely no one said that Wang Xu acted recklessly. In the eyes of qualified scientific researchers, what Wang Xu left behind was much more important than the piece he took away.

In their eyes, Wang Xu did break off a corn, but he clearly told everyone that there is a cornfield here, and you all should break it off.

Then, a group of people discovered during the process of breaking it apart that this was not a cornfield, but a vegetable market.

This is an important reason why the growth method has a higher and higher status in the entire Chinese scientific community. It is also the reason why Wang Xu has not produced much recently, but his attitude towards him is becoming more and more important.

"Well, it is indeed unexpectedly perfect. I only succeeded after trying it a few times. It only took ten days for this crystal to reach this level. Even I was shocked. The appearance is unexpectedly perfect. Oh my God. Everyone is cheering for my engagement." Wang Xu was very proud.

Indeed, it was a new topic after all, and it was completed in just ten days. The result was still so perfect, so of course he could have fun with it.

"Such a big man makes a ring?" Professor Yan turned around and looked at it carefully. He compared his fingers and felt that it was a bit too big. It didn't seem to be the same as the engagement ring in his impression. He had never seen such a ring before. Big one.

"This one is too big. I'll make a few more and make a set. This one will be made into a pendant for a necklace and a pair of rings. Now I'll report it to you. The project is over. I'll let Xiao Lin write the thesis. ." Wang Xu replied with a proud smile.

No matter what the project is, this is the engagement suit he made for his wife. This is just for showing off, the naked kind.

"You are really caring about your daughter-in-law. Foreigners would be jealous to death if they saw such a big diamond.

By the way, do you want to have an engagement ceremony? "Professor Yan still gave a few compliments. He studied abroad and has never eaten pork, but he has seen pigs running. In overseas movies and TV shows, he still understands the rules of giving a ring to a proposal.

Don't be surprised. At this moment, Hua Xia really didn't know that rings were used for marriage proposals, and it seemed that most people didn't know either later.

The ring given when proposing is usually a diamond ring. The main thing is a beautiful, exquisite one. The more dazzling the better, naturally it is better to use diamonds.

When exchanging rings at a wedding, they usually use a pair of precious metal rings with each other's names engraved inside, which are worn daily after marriage.

It's inconvenient to do anything with a diamond sticking out all day long.

Of course, if there are some occasions or something, that cool ring will come in handy again.

Of course, this was just daily life in this era. Later, as the promotion of various luxury goods became more and more lively, wedding rings also became dazzling. In the final analysis, they are all products of the commodity society.

In ancient China, various kinds of jewelry were also given as gifts, which is the origin of the saying "three golds" in later generations. But these were usually brought along with the dowry, mainly to give the woman something to hold on to when she was down and out.

But diamond rings are not good. If you are in trouble, just pawn it with a gold bracelet. You can get as much money as you want, and your family may be able to survive. Why don't you give it a try with a diamond ring?

But Wang Xu is different. It truly has the meaning of being united forever and staying together. It can be given to the other party as a good promise, so you don't expect to rely on it to exchange for money.

When two people are together, this thing is a witness of love and marriage. When they are separated, this thing is worthless. It happens to match the love and marriage of two people. This is the embodiment of true love.

The excavated diamonds have no such meaning. Why should they symbolize love and marriage and not be as valuable as gold to preserve their value?
