Lin Luo rested on the bed for a while, and when it was almost time, he went to the next door and knocked on Sun Hong's door.
"Xiao Luo?" Sun Hong was stunned for a moment when he saw Lin Luo, but soon realized something, and his face showed some joy, "Is it possible that someone from the Xing family has come to choose stones?"
Sun Hong and Lin Luo have a good relationship, knowing that Lin Luo basically doesn't go out at night, unless someone is coming to choose stones, he will be called to go with him. He likes to watch the excitement the most. There are no entertainment activities on such a remote planet full of yellow sand. Fortunately, he can watch other people betting on stones for entertainment.
"yes."
"Let's go!" After saying that, the two walked towards the management center together.
When Lin Luo and Sun Hong arrived at the management center, a lot of people had already gathered outside, and almost all the staff from the mining area came to join in the fun.
In the management center where the doors were locked at night in the past, it is brightly lit at this moment. He Fei, the person in charge of the mining area, is accompanied by a group of well-dressed people, picking wool in the warehouse of the management center. The wool that the miners dug out from the mine , all stored here.
The Xing family is one of the four major families in the empire. This resource star named Kurta is an industry under the Xing family. The Xing family regularly sends high-paid consultants with rich experience in stone gambling to choose stones here.
The reason why it is called choosing stones rather than betting on stones is because the main business of the Xing family is wool trading, not betting on stones. The advisory group will screen the newly excavated wool and divide it into five grades: good, medium and low.
High-quality wool usually has a very good leather shell performance, and it is very likely to bet high-quality jadeite such as glass and ice; good-grade wool performs slightly worse, but it is still possible to produce good jadeite above water; medium wool The possibility of being able to bet on good jade is already very low. Generally, at most, you can only bet jadeite such as water species and glutinous species; It is no different from ordinary stones, and the possibility of betting on emeralds is extremely low.
The high-quality wool is usually kept by the Xing family themselves, and the other four grades of wool will be sold to the outside world.
The price of good-grade wool is the highest, and it can often be sold at a high price of seven or eight figures; the price of medium-grade wool is about hundreds of thousands; the price of inferior wool is about several thousand to tens of thousands; Wool is usually sold by the catty, and the price is extremely low.
The members of the advisory group held many labels of different colors in their hands, representing different grades, red for superior, green for good, yellow for average, blue for inferior, black for inferior, and white for uncertain. After the Gambling Stone consultant has finished labeling, there will be special porters who will move the wool to different areas according to the classification of the labels.
And the wool with white labels will be left alone, and will be identified by all stone gambling consultants at the end. Such consultants are usually very gambled on the wool that they are not sure about, and they may bet on Gao Cui. Once the label is wrong, it may cause the Xing family to suffer heavy losses.
Although there are not many people in the advisory group, the speed of stone selection is relatively fast. Before Lin Luo and the others arrived, they had already screened out the new batch of wool. After the porters took away the wool that had been screened, they began to discuss around a small pile of gambling stones with white labels.
This time, among the consultant team who came to Kurta Star to select stones, there was a very eye-catching man. He had neat short hair and was tall. He was actually taller than the people around him. And the deep facial features are handsome and compelling, but there is a trace of hostility between his brows, which makes him very difficult to approach. While others were discussing around the pile of gambling stones, he stood aside and listened silently, but did not speak.
"Who is that person? Is there such a young stone gambling consultant?" Sun Hong also noticed the man who stood out from the crowd, so he lowered his voice and asked Lin Luo.
Lin Luo shook his head. It was also the first time he saw this man, but seeing He Fei's respectful attitude when he spoke to him, his identity must be unusual.
"Little Luo!" Lin Luo was suddenly patted on the shoulder.
Lin Luo looked back and saw Li Jun standing behind him with a smile on his face.
"Grandpa Li!"
Li Jun smiled and nodded, "Come with me, the advisory team should be finished in a while."
"Okay." Lin Luo greeted Sun Hong, and then followed Li Jun. He was going to be Li Jun's assistant. Although he has a genetic defect in vision, the lighting in the quarry is bright, and he is just helping out, so there will be no problem.
Not long after, the consultant group in the warehouse finished their discussion. Most of the wool with white labels were replaced with labels of other colors, while the rest were put on carts by the consultants and pushed out of the warehouse. .
The consultants have polarized views on these controversial wools. Some think that they can produce good jadeite, while others think that they will definitely collapse. Such wool will be untied on the spot to avoid possible losses.
The miners who were waiting outside immediately crowded around excitedly, and followed the advisory group towards the quarry.
In the quarrying field, Li Jun and Lin Luo are ready and waiting beside the stone machine.
When Li Jun saw the people from the advisory group coming, he nodded slightly to them. He has been working here for decades, and he has been dealing with people in the advisory group almost all the time, so the two parties can be said to be old acquaintances. Although it was said that there was a new face in the advisory group this time, since He Fei didn't specifically introduce him, he didn't ask.
A slightly hunchbacked and short old man in the advisory group nodded towards Li Jun, then picked up a piece of wool weighing seven or eight catties, drew two lines on it, and handed it to him.
"Old Li, be careful with this piece of material, rub it slowly along the line, and first wipe a hole to see." The old man urged in a deep voice.
On the leather shell of this piece of wool, there is a python belt wrapped around the leather shell, like a tightened belt, and there are some loose flowers around the python belt. The combination of python and pine flowers means that this piece of wool is likely to turn green, so consultants are optimistic about this piece of wool.
It's just that at the bottom of this piece of wool, there is a very inconspicuous crack. The consultants couldn't judge whether this crack would affect the jade inside, so they hesitated and picked it out, ready to untie it to see one look.
"Understood." Li Jun took the piece of wool and put it on the understanding stone machine.
Although today's technology has developed rapidly, the stone-dissolving machine used for dissolving stone still needs to be operated manually, and its shape is very retro. At most, it is more convenient to operate. After all, emeralds containing energy are invaluable. Once the structure of emeralds is destroyed, a large amount of energy will be dissipated, and the resulting losses will be immeasurable.
Li Jun switched the stone-dissolving machine to the stone-wiping mode, put on a pair of dust-proof glasses, and then slowly rubbed in along the line drawn by the old man with a grinding wheel.
The sizzling sound of rubbing stones was very harsh, but no one around expressed dissatisfaction with it. Instead, they all looked excited.
Li Jun wiped until the second line drawn by the old man, and then stopped the machine.
"Splash water."
Lin Luo immediately picked up the water ladle, scooped up water and splashed it on the wiped area, and a yellow mist came.
"Fog! It's fog! Yellow fog!" A consultant became excited.
General and experienced experts can use the color of the fog to judge the quality of the emerald beneath it. White mist and yellow mist both indicate that there may be good jadeite inside.
"Let me see!" The old man rushed forward, took the piece of wool in his hand, observed it carefully, and gradually showed a smile on his face.
"Lao Li, keep wiping!"
Li Jun nodded, and continued to use the abrasive wheel to wipe away the yellow mist, and a bright green color appeared immediately.
"It's sun green! It's a very positive green!"
The more intense the color of the jadeite, the higher the possibility of containing elemental energy in it, and the value of such jadeite is higher than that of light-colored jadeite in the case of the same variety of water.
The sun-green color exposed by this piece of wool is bright and pure. Even the worst bean species can be sold at a very good price as long as they can extract elemental energy.
Although Lin Luo couldn't see the color, he could judge from the reactions of the people around him that it should have had a very good start.
At this time, two other consultants also came over, and they whispered to each other for a while before drawing a new line on the wool.
"Let's cut along this line." This line can just cut off the entire part of the crack, and they feel that no matter what, they still need to figure out whether the crack will affect the jade in it.
"Okay." Li Jun switched the calculus machine to the cutting mode, and the grinding wheel was replaced by a sharp chrome knife. Chromium is the hardest metal known so far, and it can easily cut the hard leather shell of wool. open.
Li Jun pressed the chrome knife and slowly cut towards the crack. His hand was very steady, and the knife was very accurate.
With a sound of 'crash', the wool was cut in half, but the exposed cut surface was full of broken jade.
The old man sighed deeply, and sure enough, the crack still hurt the jade flesh inside.
"What should we do now?"
"Old Li, just watch and cut..." the old man waved his hand.
There is an old saying that "a rise is not called a rise, but a real rise is when a cut rise is made", which is exactly what the current situation is. This knife greatly reduced the value of this piece of wool. You must know that the broken jadeite is worthless.
Li Jun nodded, and then cut another knife at the position parallel to the incision. This knife cut off a large number of broken jade, but Li Jun saw the broken jade on the cut surface of the remaining half of the wool. It seems to be decreasing. He decisively replaced the cutting knife with a grinding wheel, and pressed it against the broken jade.
The old man didn't say a word the whole time, just stood beside him and watched. After Li Jun lifted the grinding wheel, he saw a piece of sun green that was intact.
The impact of the cracks on the emerald stopped here.
(The "species" of jadeite refers to the thickness and transparency of the structure of jadeite. The "species" is an important symbol to evaluate the quality of jadeite. Kinds of jadeite can not only make light-colored jadeite look moist and crystal clear, but also make the jadeite with uniform color and fullness. The emerald water is clear and full of aura.)

As the saying goes, laymen look at the color, and experts look at the species. The kind of jadeite is the beauty of its texture itself. Good jadeite should be fine and flawless in texture and high in transparency.
This paper assumes that the better the emerald water and the higher the transparency, the more energy it contains. The brighter and more positive the color, the more elemental energy it contains. Elemental energy is very useful for people with supernatural powers, so brightly colored jade with good water quality is the most valuable.
I won’t go into too much detail here, as long as everyone has an idea, as the plot develops, I will slowly write out these settings and tell you.
[The setting of energy jadeite in this article is purely fictitious, so if there is any discrepancy with the characteristics of jadeite in reality, please refer to the setting in this article.]
