Help all mankind

Chapter 23

Then Su Chang's expression became a little stern.

"Where did you buy it, return it quickly!"

Liang Shicheng was suddenly at a loss, holding the ring in one hand, and shaking his other hand desperately from side to side.

"Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid! This one is fake."

Su Chang's mood calmed a little, but he still looked at Liang Shicheng with puzzled eyes.

Upon seeing this, Liang Shicheng continued to add:

"Although it looks alike, this is actually a piece of glass."

Su Chang breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest, and said:

"I was so frightened. Fortunately, it was fake. What did you do with the glass like a diamond."

Liang Shicheng also adjusted his nervousness, then thought of a suitable reason, and continued to explain.

"The one I have is a new product of our company, a piece of tempered glass that can be polished, and it is indeed a bit like a diamond.

It is important to know that once the tempered glass is processed, it cannot be over-polished or it will break.

This is also the result of my research in the laboratory for a long time, and it took a long time to get it, and it is not easy to be shattered like ordinary glass.

De Beers does not mean that diamonds are forever, and that one is always passed on.The glass I made is fine too."

Su Chang listened and gradually recovered from the state of female nerves to the temperament of a goddess.

"Well, congratulations on finding a job you like. I remember that you liked making various crafts when you were a kid.

You really scared me just now. If such a big one is a real diamond, then I am afraid that the diamond company will pit a lot of money.

Diamonds are used by merchants to deceive people, kidnap men, and simply create financial burdens."

Next, Liang Shicheng took a closer look at the ring. He found that the super glass he made was really similar to diamonds. Under the lights of the restaurant, as the ring rotated in his hand, it radiated dazzling light from time to time.

Diamonds have a crystalline structure. People see different light from different angles, just like crowds in a neat row on the playground. At this time, if there is a light shining through, as the angle changes, The number of people you encounter will also change. Sometimes you may not encounter them alone, just passing through the neat line. At this time, the intensity of the light is at its highest, making it particularly dazzling.

So the diamond will show different light as it rotates. This is also a way to distinguish it.

The glass is the result of random arrangement of non-crystals. No one direction is special. No matter which direction the light enters, the situation will be the same.

But at this point, super glass has already shown some diamond characteristics.

Then Liang Shicheng focused his attention again. The surfaces where the super glass was cut and polished were very smooth, perfect, and very flat, and the entire super glass had been exquisitely cut through, and after closer inspection, there was no trace of cracks. .

This makes Liang Shicheng very satisfied, which shows that the super glass can be machined to form a flat surface, and the inside can still be intact.

In this way, his idea of ​​processing super glass into various mechanical parts is feasible.

Having confirmed this with his own eyes, the ring inlaid with processed super glass has no value to Liang Shicheng.

So he stretched out his hand holding the ring and handed it to Su Chang.

Su Chang is a girl who knows how to keep a house. She is not interested in any luxury products, except for some hobbies of electronic products and high-performance cameras.

Of course she is not interested in diamonds, and will not buy them. Even if she gets a diamond, the only use she can think of is to pull the glass.

But when Su Chang took the ring, he still showed interest in this delicate handicraft. He also learned Liang Shicheng's way of turning it over under the light, and then tried to use it as a magnifying glass. In the process of the pixels on the phone, a quiet Su Chang smirked from time to time and gradually showed the state of Akua.

After playing for a while, Su Chang held the ring with both hands, ready to hand it back to Liang Shicheng.

"I will give this to you. I don't know when we meet next time, or maybe there will be no next time. This is something I developed, even if it is a souvenir."

Su Chang pursed his mouth, showing indecision.

Upon seeing this, Liang Shicheng continued to persuade:

"It's just a piece of ordinary glass, it's not worth much."

Su Chang pointed his finger at the platinum body of the ring again and shook his head.

Liang Shicheng thought for a while and replied:

"That's aluminum."

In the end, Su Chang accepted the so-called souvenir by Liang Shicheng, and the two then parted ways at the door of Pizza Hut.

After today, Su Chang needs to take a passenger plane, leave her hometown, and return to the company where she worked abroad.

After Liang Shicheng got home, he turned on the phone and started an email conversation with the staff of De Beers, who came from the company's technical department.

Liang Shicheng went straight to the point and asked about the processing details of super glass.

what's the situation?Not only does it look like a diamond, but it also installs a base.

After waiting for tens of minutes, I saw the reply.

[Didn’t you say that the material is fragile on one side? I pay attention to this point very much. I am worried about any accidents during transportation.

So I put the processed material on the ring with the fragile side facing inward and protected by the ring.

Liang Shicheng added immediately.

[But I am very satisfied with the effect of processing. What I am more concerned about now is the cost of processing. Can it be processed on a large scale like this?

This time, the other party responded in less than 2 minutes.

[Money matters, you don’t have to worry about it, the above has helped you subvert 1.5 million pounds]

Liang Shicheng was surprised and asked immediately.

what?So expensive?Don't you just use something to grind the glass? Is it possible that a lot of machines are worn out?

Within a few minutes, the reply email came.

[This is not true, we have very professional equipment, and the equipment is not worn out.But I found the material you gave is too hard!!

Even harder than diamond, we really can't find anything that can grind it.

In the end, I had to polish it with diamonds. Although it consumed some inferior diamonds, it took about 800 carats to get it into its current shape.

After listening to the final reply, Liang Shicheng felt quite cold. It seems that although super glass can be processed theoretically, large-scale and low-cost processing methods are out of the question in a short time.

However, in his expectation, the bond energy of the silicon-oxygen covalent bonds that make up the glass is astonishing, reaching 422.5kJmol.

It is higher than the 346kJmol of the carbon-carbon covalent bond that makes up diamonds. In theory, the hardness of glass, a silicon-oxygen compound, should also be higher than that of glass. However, for reasons that cannot be explained by science at present, glass always appears to be liquid. In nature, even a piece of window glass that has been placed for hundreds of years will be thicker underneath than above, and the glass will flow slowly over a period of several hundred years. Therefore, ordinary glass is not as hard as diamonds despite its high hardness.

The super glass processed by process 2 not only concentrates all the weak points of the glass, but also makes the glass lose its liquid side, resulting in its hardness higher than that of diamond.

Just when Liang Shicheng was very depressed and unable to do anything about the benefits, he suddenly received a call from Su Chang, which was from abroad, and Su Chang was already abroad.

"Hey, what do you want me to do?"

"It's not that I am looking for you, but my dad is looking for you. I sent his contact information to you on MSN."
