Humming a little tune, Lei Xiaoluo left the Qin family mansion with a look of ecstasy.
The old housekeeper shook his head helplessly. He really wanted to go up and ask the lady what happened. But thinking about the creepy feeling every time, let it go. The master doesn't care. Why should I bother the dog with the mouse?
Lei Xiaoluo rushed to An's Building. An Qi was not here. Secretary Lin Jing said she was going down to inspect a factory and would not be back until an hour later.
Then just wait. This guy is sitting on the sofa in the president's office with his legs crossed, tasting the coffee sent by the president's secretary.
Don’t be idle either. It’s time to visit the mother-in-law at Liu Ting’s house and Wu’s house. It’s time to prepare some gifts.
It would be too tacky to say buying gifts in a shopping mall. Let’s think of ways to deal with jade. Anyway, the purpose of going to Yunnan in the first place was to prepare gifts for my mother-in-law and my girlfriends.
He put down his coffee and with a thought, he flew into the Ten Thousand Talisman Ring.
In the corner of the Ten Thousand Talisman Ring, there are small hexagonal stone pillars, "waste stones" full of cut marks, and several rough stones returned from gambling in Yunnan.
There was also a small cutting machine nearby. This was specially prepared by him. He was really worried about leaving the rough stone to others to cut.
After all, these areas all have a high chance of yielding emeralds. Naturally, the fewer people who know about it, the better.
First, take two pictures of yourself. Then carefully mark the cutting steps on the rough stone with a marker. The cutting machine is powered by a battery. It can run the sharp cutting blade at the fastest speed for more than three hours.
The saw blade cuts into the rough stone, making a harsh sound.
Not to mention, cutting stones is really a physical job. He didn't do it for a long time, but his head was sweating profusely and his hands were sore.
However, with his disdainful efforts, the "waste stone" full of incisions was cut down to the size of a watermelon. Through the thin layer of stone skin on the outside, the green hidden inside can be clearly seen.
Next step. Polish.
Use an electric sander for this product. First use coarse sandpaper, then use fine sandpaper to remove the thin outer stone skin.
The emerald inside is as big as a grapefruit. It is completely green and crystal clear. It is indeed the legendary imperial emerald.
Lei Xiaoluole's nose was bursting with snot. It is said that the best emerald is worth more than 80,000 yuan per carat. After careful processing, the price doubles.
How much is one carat?
Just 0.2 grams. In other words, one gram of raw emerald is worth 400,000. One kilogram is worth 400 million.
Such a big piece. It weighs at least two or three kilograms. My fourth uncle and grandma, my mother-in-law, doesn't it mean that the value of this jade may be more than one billion.
This guy took a few breaths of air-conditioning. After all, we are people who have seen the world. We just got Wu Sangui's treasures a few days ago. I believe the value of those treasures should be no less than one billion.
But such a small piece of jade is worth half of the treasure in the stone chamber. This is crazy.
There is no way. Who made people so excited about jade in recent years?
"Okay. Brother admits that he has taken off his dick." Lei Xiaoluo nodded to the jade. The next thing to do is to cut a few small pieces. Cut them according to the diamond cutting process. After shaping, fix them on the ring. Or put it on a pendant. You're done.
In fact, it is more appropriate to use traditional methods to carve jade bracelets or pendants. It’s just that our brother Lei doesn’t have such ability. We don’t want to go and learn jade carving just for a few gifts. That’s not two or two things a day. God can learn.
So, let’s settle for the next best thing.
For top-quality jadeite such as emerald, using cutting method to make jewelry has long been a very common practice in the gem industry. After all, jadeite that can reach the imperial level is hard to come by. Merchants are very profitable and can be cut into multiple pieces. Selling it will naturally make more money than carving it into a small pendant.
Use a cutting blade. Forget it. That's a waste.
He suddenly thought of a better way. Among the eighteen evil spells, there was a sword spirit spell that could transform into a flying sword. The flying sword was powerful enough to cut gold and jade.
So what are you waiting for? Draw the talisman first.
He had never drawn the Sword Spirit Curse before because it was too difficult.
But no matter what, Lei Ge can even handle the intermediate Mingmu Talisman now. What does the elementary Sword Spirit Spell mean? Come on.
He failed three times in a row. He was not discouraged. He would learn from experience and lessons every time he failed, and then start again.
The fourth one succeeded. The fifth one failed. The sixth and seventh one succeeded.
With three sword spells, this guy picked up the grapefruit-sized jade again. He had already studied the cutting technology on the Internet. What are the round names of bright cut, Mabel cut, psychic blue flame, eight hearts and eight arrows? Wait. We have carefully understood everything.
But after all, this is my first time. Let’s start with the most basic 58-sided cutting method.
As we all know, the more cutting surfaces there are, the more reflective surfaces the gemstone will have, and the more brilliant it will look.
He held up a Sword Spirit Spell with his palm. The yellow paper burned on its own. The rising white smoke turned into a translucent sharp sword, hanging in the air.
After all, this was his first attempt. Lei Xiaoluo controlled the semi-physical flying sword to slash at a rough stone nearby.
Uh-huh...
With a flash of sword light, a corner of the original stone was immediately cut off. The cut was extremely smooth.
"Wow! It's so useful. With the Sword Spirit Spell, the cutting machine is no longer needed." Lei Xiaoluole danced happily.
Now that the sharpness of the flying sword has been proven, he has no scruples and directs it to cut towards the jade.
Yi Jian. A piece is cut off from the round top of the emerald. The thickest part is about two centimeters. The thinnest part is also seven or eight millimeters. The thick part can be used to make necklace pendants. The thin part can be used to make earring decorations. No Waste of raw materials.
Then, the piece of jade was cut into more than a dozen pieces of different sizes. Lei Xiaoluo picked out one piece and cut it according to his heart.
One sword. Two swords. Three swords...
The first dozen cuts were very smooth, but the further cuts were a bit more difficult. Cutting out 58 faces on a piece of jade less than two centimeters square is easy to say, but very difficult to do.
He had no choice but to take another photo of the Mingmu Talisman towards his forehead. The improved sight would be of great benefit for the subsequent cutting.
Just like that, he made another twenty cuts.
58 noodles. Still missing the last nine.
Cutting out the last nine noodles actually took the same time as the previous forty-nine. During this process, Lei Xiaoluo held his breath from time to time and only blinked once for a long time.
After cutting out the last face, he exhaled a long breath. The sword spirit spell had just reached its limit. The flying sword disappeared in a flash of light.
Damn it. Fortunately, I didn't waste time. Otherwise, I would have wasted another Sword Spirit Spell.
Looking at the jade reflecting the light in his palm, he had a satisfied expression on his face.
