Chapter 96 What a Good Thing
After Zhao Long returned home, he hurried to the faucet he had installed. After Zhao Long installed solar energy in his home, he replaced the pressurized well with a portable faucet that draws water directly from a motor.

Zhao Long cleaned carefully and observed carefully at the same time, Zhao Long was not only shocked by this observation, but also boldly turned to something in his heart.

"This can't be Hetian jade, right? Remember, Brother Liu told me about Hetian jade seed material last time. What exactly is this? It seems that you can find out by showing it to Brother Liu." Zhao Long said that he had already cleaned it.

At this time, Liu Yang just came out of the room, and Zhao Long was washing things, so he asked curiously: "Xiaolong, when did you get up and what did you wash?"

Seeing that it was Liu Yang, Zhao Long acted as if he had seen a savior, and hurriedly waved the cleaned up things in front of Liu Yang's eyes and said, "What is this? Brother Liu"

Liu Yang didn't look carefully at first, so he casually said, "What is it, bring it to me to have a look."

Liu Yang held the thing in his hand, adjusted the glasses frame and took a closer look, his expression gradually became serious, and then he looked carefully and praised again and again: "Hey! This should be Hetian jade, right? And It’s still seed material, it’s very precious, when did Xiaolong buy it? Why haven’t I seen you take it out?”

When Zhao Long heard that it was Hetian jade, he was very happy. At this time, the tree brown bear came from somewhere else, and Zhao Long pointed to the baby bear and said, "It, it found it, this is it. I dug it out from a cave that no one has ever set foot in, after its 'pointing', at that time, when I dug it out, the whole thing was a mud egg, I just washed it, and you just came out."

Hearing Zhao Long's words, Liu Yang was even more surprised. After looking at it, he felt more and more strange, so he asked: "Xiaolong, it is reasonable to say that Hetian jade should be relatively fine or good in all aspects. This fineness But it’s still pretty good, but, what is the black thing inside? It seems to be some kind of creature, I can’t see it clearly, I have to find a special device to do it. Looking at the form 100 % is a creature."

"Oh, Xiaolong, you've made a fortune. If this is really a creature, it must be a paleontological fossil. In addition, this may be the seed material of Hetian jade, so the value is not simple." Liu Yang Said excitedly.

Zhao Long didn't believe it very much either, and he didn't know very well about Hetian jade, let alone what it was called a seed material. As for fossils, what Zhao Long heard most were dinosaur fossils and amber fossils.

So Zhao Long handed Liu Yang a cigarette, then moved out two stools, lit a cigarette and sat down, Zhao Long questioned: "Brother Liu, what is Hetian jade? What is the seed material you mentioned? I mean Hetian jade It is very famous, and the price must be high, as for what the seed material is, I... I really don't know anything."

Liu Yang then said: "Then I will tell you what is Hetian jade and its seed material. Hetian jade was named Kunlun jade in ancient times. It was originally produced in Shache and Khotan countries in the Western Regions (now Hetian, China), and is a famous nephrite. The variety has a history of more than 1000 years. "Historical Records Dawan Biography": "The Han Dynasty made the source of the river poor, and the source of the river came out of Tian, ​​and its mountains are rich in jade." "Sapphire". Hetian jade is also known as Wubaiyu. Archaeological results prove that Hetian jade was introduced to China earlier, and Hetian jade was found in the Yangshao cultural site 7000 years ago."

Zhao Long was very surprised when he heard the origin of Hetian jade introduced by Liu Yang, and said: "Then this Hetian jade is really not ordinary. According to what you said, how can there be Hetian jade here in our hometown?"

Liu Yang thought for a while and said: "Maybe there is only one explanation, that is how to say it. Thousands of years ago, no one knew the movement and plates of the earth. Maybe after changes, there was a coincidence here, and Hetian jade was formed. , and more importantly, the earth’s crustal movement and you slowly raised the ground, which was discovered by this little guy. Who can explain the geography we took together, nature is always so strange.”

After thinking for a while, Zhao Long felt that his words made sense, so he continued to ask: "What kind of material are you talking about just now? Does it have anything to do with this?"

Liu Yang said: "Hetian jade is scientifically defined as nephrite, (hardness: 6.5; specific gravity: 2.96). The types include sheep fat jade, XJ white jade, Kunlun jade, Hetian (anciently known as Khotan, Khotan) and black jade produced in XJ. There are two origins in the region. Why is it called suet white jade? That is because suet white jade is translucent and has a fat-like luster after polishing. There are also Hetian jades of other colors, such as topaz, sapphire, jasper, and moyu, etc. The city of XJ Moyu was named because of its rich moyu.”

After a pause, Liu Yang continued: "Hetian jade was born in the rocks of the Kunlun Mountains stretching for 3500 kilometers at an altitude of 5000 to 1500 meters. After natural long-term weathering, it was stripped into fragments of different sizes and collapsed on the hillside. After being washed by rainwater, it flows into the river. When the river dries up in autumn, the jade pieces collected in the riverbed are called seed materials. Those that are mined manually in the rock strata are called mountain materials. The texture of mountain materials is dry and lacks water head. High-quality Hetian jade The seeds are all collected from the river, and after thousands of years of river water washing, it becomes fine and crystal clear, as coagulated as fat, and then it becomes the famous Hetian jade."

Zhao Long on the side was stunned, Liu Yang looked at Zhao Long and shook his head, expressing his surprise at Zhao Long's expression, then Liu Yang smoked a cigarette.

"The seed material was formed by volcanic eruptions hundreds of millions of years ago. This egg-shaped primary ore body remained on the seabed. After the crustal change and orogeny, the land of XJ changed from the sea to land, and the seed material also floated. Out of the water, the current situation is formed, so the seed material is not washed by the water from the mountain material, the mountain material is not the mother, and the seed material is not the son. They are also two unrelated primary minerals in the same mineral deposit. Body." Liu Yang said.

"Hey, it turns out that Baoyu still has so much knowledge. Today, I really learned a lot. Brother Liu is really knowledgeable." Zhao Long said while smoking a cigarette.

Then Liu Yang said: "Your Hetian jade seed material still has a layer of sediment that has not been removed. If you remove one layer, it will be a real good thing, you see."

As Liu Yang said, he miraculously removed another layer of this piece of Hetian jade and said: "This is the noble Hetian jade seed material. If a creature is really necrotic in it, then the value of this Hetian jade is at least 100 million. The above price, if it is only muddy, it will greatly reduce the value of this piece of jade."

Zhao Long took it over and looked at it carefully and said: "I guess, there is some kind of creature inside, I don't know where I can identify it, by the way, I don't know if the B-ultrasound in that hospital can see it, haha"

Afterwards, Zhao Long and Liu Yang kept studying and observing this piece of beautiful jade dug out by Zhao Long.
