Chapter 474 Gemstone Lesson in the Volcano

Gradually, the dim interior of the volcano became brighter, and a faint dark red light penetrated from the smoke. This was not only the firelight emitted by the flaming ball exploding egg, but also the red-hot lava inside the volcano.

.

The lava was rolling gurglingly. When it reached the bottom of the volcano, the hot magma was squirming in front of you, like a pot of boiling soup. The top of the magma was filled with dense flaming balls and exploding eggs. You can't even count how many of them there were.

Only.

Angelou, Bing Zhixie and others were standing on a flat area of ​​more than ten meters extending from the cave wall. This open space was less than two meters away from the lava below.

Everyone was breathing heavily, and the severe lack of air made them feel uncomfortable every minute they stayed here. The environment here was really hot, and the sweat thrown away would still remain as soon as it left the protective range of the cryolite on the small glass tube.

It evaporated to dryness before it even hit the ground.

Wearing insulated gloves on her hands, Chloe took off the metal kettle on her body, took two big sips, and handed it to others. This kettle is specially made, and the water poured out of it is ice water, which is usually ice water.

The kettle would have burned through in such a high temperature environment.

Looking at the dim space and the dazzling magma, Angelou said to Alice and the others: "This is the situation inside the volcano, burning hot, and there are flaming balls that are constantly emerging from the magma."

"Are the Flame Ball Explosive Eggs born from magma?" Alice asked in surprise.

Angelou said: "I thought you knew it. The Flame Ball Explosion Egg is one of the elemental monsters. According to scholars, the Flame Ball Explosion Egg is created from volcanic lava after years of accumulation of fire and earth elements.

The elemental life form that is born.”

"The most valuable thing about elemental monsters is their elemental life cores. These cores have many uses, especially for magicians. Using the corresponding life cores can complete the transformation of their bodies into elements faster.

"Hughington is extremely sensitive to precious treasures and materials.

Alice said: "With so many flaming balls and explosive eggs here, don't they contain a lot of life cores?"

"It's not that easy." Hullington said: "The core of life of an element is still a form of expression of the element. The element is something that has quality, intangibility and cannot be captured. Generally, the life of a newly born elemental monster is still countless and scattered.

Only those elemental monsters that have existed for a long time can accumulate the core of life."

Alice asked: "How long will it take for the life core of the elements to accumulate?"

"It's been a long time, I don't know," Hughington said.

Angelou's colleague took out a special thermometer and looked at it: "Angelou, the temperature in the air is 434 degrees."

"Oh, I got it, just write it down." Angelou turned to Hullington and the others and said, "We have to work. This place is relatively safe and open. You can move freely, as long as you try your best.

Just don’t attract the attention of Flame Ball Exploding Egg.”

"OK."

The four of Angru began to work, and Bing Zhixie and the others also began to 'visit' the conditions inside the volcano.

Alice held the glass tube and looked around. Those who passed by the eternally burning flaming ball and exploded the egg and felt the coolness emanating from the cryolite on the glass tube all avoided it.

Hullington, on the other hand, helped Chloe do this and that, and he didn't start doing his own thing until Chloe answered definitely that he didn't need his help.

It was also the first time for Bing Zhixie to come to such a place, and he was also very curious about the underground world inside this volcano.

Angelou's work was carried out in an orderly manner, collecting lava, measuring temperature, etc., and he was very skillful in everything.

It was quiet in the volcano. Apart from the sound of the churning magma, there was only the sound of the flames burning on the flaming ball explosive eggs. These flaming ball explosive eggs plunged into the magma and disappeared, and then emerged from the magma. Those who had just emerged from the magma

The flaming ball flying out of the explosive egg was constantly dripping with yellow lava liquid, as if it had just been bathed.

"Hey, look what I found." Hullington shouted.

Alice was observing those flaming balls exploding eggs. When she heard Hullington shouting, she walked over and asked, "What?"

Seeing that only Alice came over, Hullington was disappointed, but still very happy. He held up a burnt black stone and said, "This is it."

"Isn't it just a rotten stone?" Alice said.

Hullington smiled and said: "This is a gem."

"Gem!" Alice's eyes lit up as soon as she heard about it: "This is a gem? It's obviously a black and broken stone. Is it the obsidian you used when you were refining in Alante? Uncle Caesar and I

As I explained before, obsidian is produced around volcanoes and is a crystallization produced after the volcanic lava cools."

Hurlington shook his head and said, "No." He picked up a small piece of stone from the burnt soil and said, "This is the original stone of obsidian. Obsidian is easy to find in places like this. This piece is made of zirconium."

The rough stone.”

"Zircon? 1 Is it a hyacinth stone?" Alice is a person who likes gems and beads very much. She also had a hobby of collecting gems when she was in the palace, and she is also very good at gems. She looked at Hughington's hand

Black Stone: "You can't tell it at all. I remember I also had a navy blue zircon clothing necklace, which looks nothing like it."

"Look carefully here." Hullington held up the spar lamp and said, "Look if there are dark red crystals in the cracks in the stone."

Alice came up and took a closer look: "It really does exist."

Hullington explained: "Zircon comes in many colors, and ocean blue is just one of them, and it is also the most valuable one. This piece is dark red. Its hardness is only a little lower than diamonds among gemstones (diamonds).

Its hardness is 10, zircon is 8), and most importantly, its alchemical range is wider than obsidian, and its melting point is 1,000 degrees higher than obsidian, which is more than 1,700 degrees."

Alice said: "But I remember that zircon, like obsidian, is a low-grade gemstone and not very valuable. You can easily buy a lot of it in the gem market for 1,000 gold coins."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This sentence brought Hullington's enthusiasm directly from the peak to the bottom.

Zircon is indeed one of the favorite gemstones for craftsmen, decorations and alchemists. For them, zircon has good hardness and is easy to maintain. It has many kinds of colors and has very good reflection and dispersion effects, so it is very suitable for making ornaments. It is used for alchemy.

It has high value and can be used in many places. The most important thing is that it is as cheap as obsidian. You can buy a gem-grade zircon for about ten gold coins, let alone those ordinary zircons that are not gem-grade.

Already.

Hurlington was a little angry and said: "What does it matter if it's not valuable? Do you think I don't know it's not valuable? What do you know? As an alchemist, the greatest pleasure is not to buy materials, but to collect the materials yourself and then personally

Only by refining the finished product with your hands can you have a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction."

Alice thought about it and said, "That's right. Then I'll come and look for gems with you. I heard that diamonds can be found in volcanoes, and they are high-end gems."

"The thermal conductivity of diamonds to the fire element is the highest among all natural magic gems, and it is very suitable for making equipment for fire magicians. Nowadays, in shops, medium and high-end fire magic wands will be embedded with them.

Diamonds." Hughington must be a professional alchemist, and he immediately stated the value of diamonds in their professional field.

Alice smiled and said: "Then let's dig quickly. Maybe we can dig out an ice diamond, which will be great. Let me tell you, my mother has a very beautiful ice diamond brooch there."

"What did you say?" Hullington suddenly frowned and looked at her.

"I...I didn't say anything?" Seeing his fierce look, Alice was a little scared and said, "I said ice diamond..."

"Your mother actually used an ice drill and a brooch!!" Hullington clasped his hands tightly, almost furious: "Do you know what the status of ice drills is in our alchemy world? They are only born in the hottest lava.

An ice diamond with extremely cold properties, your mother actually used it as a brooch!! Oh my god, I’m going to kill her!!”

(Note: 1. Zircon: Also known as zircon, hyacinthite, zircon is a silicate mineral that is widely found in acidic igneous rocks, and is also produced in metamorphic rocks and other sediments. Chemical properties of zircon

It is very stable, so gem-quality zircon can also be seen in river gravel. There are many kinds of zircon, and different zircon will have different colors, such as red, yellow, orange, brown, green or colorless and transparent, etc.

Etc. The cut gem-quality zircon looks very much like a diamond.)
