The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

This is a rare giant emerald ore, because emerald-bearing calcite veins and pyrite calcite veins are distributed in veins or nets. The length of the veins can be fifty or sixty meters, but the thickness is generally It looks like one millimeter to 20 centimeters, and it's rare to exceed 10 centimeters.

It is precisely because of the thin ore bed that there are very few large emerald ore bodies, and most of the crystals above are below 1 carat. After being processed into a finished product, the volume is smaller, and the crystals of two or three centimeters in length can be considered large.

Vita pulled around for a while near the ore he found, and found a lot of small green crystals scattered in a slightly deeper place, showing a crystal clear green light under the illumination of the diving armor searchlight.

At this time, Zhang Nan once again reminded the diving captain to go out of the water first, safety first, and at the same time let the sailor Lopez Cuenca prepare for the launch of several other sets of diving armor: Since there are interesting discoveries, then put the big guy Let's get it up.

Vita Bruno can't violate the boss's second order. The previous slow execution is due diligence, and the second time will make the big boss unhappy.

Within a few minutes, Weta's full-scale armored diving suit appeared on the sea. The ordinary divers who had been waiting on the transportation boat had already launched into the water and hung the armor on the crane ropes.

At the same time, two fully human-shaped armored diving suits on the main deck are already preparing, and the sailors are also dragging out even stranger diving devices, strange guys who will make the hair stand upright at first glance!

The “Searcher” carried six expensive full-scale armored diving suits this time. This is an over-standard configuration. Normally, one or two sets will be enough. The other sets will be allocated to the “Great Shark” later. Any salvage vessel in the company that requires these expensive equipment.

Salvage companies do not only hunt for treasures, but also occasionally undertake underwater rescue and repair work. Although this level of armored diving suits does not have much business, once they have them, they will definitely make a profit.

Besides, Zhang Nan's energy group's subsea oil exploration project has been launched, and such equipment is also needed, so he purchased 6 sets in one go.

The full-human armor diving suit is convenient and flexible to use, but it will be slightly inconvenient when it encounters large objects on the sea floor. Therefore, the "Searcher" is also equipped with a half-human armor diving suit, which looks like a bumblebee!

This shape is simply the reality version of Resident Evil, saying that it is a half-human shape, because this big guy weighing half a ton in the air also has two multi-joint wrists, and the upper limbs can be operated by divers from inside the diving armor.

But the difference with the full-man armored diving suit is: the lower end of the half-human is a cylindrical non-foot structure. In fact, this is a kind of diving system between the atmospheric diving suit and the single-man submersible.

This is the latest Wasp 2A diving suit manufactured by the British Offshore Submersible Engineering Company. It has automatic navigation capability. It can dive and rotate 360° in the water through a foot-controlled propeller, underwater video, underwater photogrammetry, and platform inspection. It can handle repairs, pipeline inspections, and salvage work, and its ability to deal with large objects is better than a full-man armor diving suit.

The upper shell of the diving suit is made of cast aluminum, and the bottom dome is made of processed aluminum. It is two meters tall, has a maximum working depth of 610 meters, a speed of 1.5 knots, and a life support time of up to 72 hours.

However, the 72-hour maximum life support time is just in case, because people work within such a monster for 8 to 10 hours at most, otherwise the body will not be able to bear it-like the diving suit worn by Vita, 5 -6 hours is only the maximum working time. In case he does not come up on the bottom of the sea, the life support system of the diving suit can guarantee that he will not die within 56 hours.

There are multiple armored diving suits and unmanned submersibles on the "Searcher". The maximum life support time of these diving suits has become a little meaningful. Otherwise, there will be problems several hundred meters under the water, and people on the sea want to rescue. There is no way, unless there is a set of diving equipment that can reach this depth within tens of hours.

Weta got out of the water and boarded the boat. After inspection, the armored diving suit was not damaged in any way, luck and quality were good.

After waiting for another half an hour, the "Searcher" basket was lifted onto the deck for the first time. Inside it was the emerald ore that tripped Vita to Malaysia. There was also a large amount of "Kappa" on the side. "Silver coins-the three divers plan to work for a few hours, and the salvage work will begin.

This large ore can weigh sixty to seventy kilograms. After being lifted out and placed on the deck, there are five strong and complete emerald crystals exposed above the surface of the ore. The other surface is also inlaid with densely packed small crystals.

The strongest crystal is much larger than the other five, and can be as thick as Zhang Nan's upper arm. After nearly 300 years of sinking underwater, the crystal still glows charmingly in the sun.

Pretty!

These 6 crystals are almost all bluish and bright emerald green. Zhang Nan took out a 10x magnifying glass and looked at it for a while, and found that there were very few small carbon monoxide bubbles and cubic gas-liquid-solid inclusions inside~www .wuxiaspot.com~Is it bad to have inclusions?

Of course not good, but like rubies, emerald crystals generally contain a lot of inclusions and cracks. Under a 10x magnifying glass, these impurity defects are all small, not counting the size, just talking about the quality, this is the top product!

Putting the ore into a large mobile sink filled with seawater, Zhang Nan dialed the phone of his jewelry group CEO Lebs-Brown, and said: "Brown, ask you something. The largest emerald crystals are How old is it?"

Brown, who is in the United States, knew that his boss had gone to the Caribbean to hunt for treasure. Hearing this, he felt whether he had discovered something. As soon as he turned his mind, he said: "I remember it should be 7025 carats, 69 found in Colombia."

"Oh, then it can stand aside, just got a piece of ore, and one of the crystals above is bigger than it."

"How big and how is the quality?"

Brown asked a little bit anxiously, to know that top emeralds are not inferior to top diamonds-the four most recognized gemstones in the world are diamonds, rubies, sapphires, and emeralds. As for other "jewels", they can only It is classified as a "half-treasure", although there are also expensive ones, such as top red spinels, and Paraiba tourmalines whose mines are dominated by Zhang Nan's mining company.

But even if the prices of other “gems” are high, their international prestige is still inferior to the traditional four gems.

Regarding Brown’s question, Zhang Nan said: "The weight is hard to say. Anyway, it is at least as thick as my upper arm. I can barely see the inclusions and cracks with the naked eye. It takes 10 to be magnified to see the point.

Color...

Bright green in emerald green. "

As soon as Zhang Nan finished speaking, he heard Brown on the other side of the phone saying: "Boss, this is in trouble!"
