Rushing to the sea: I can see the prompts

Chapter 259 Red Diamond

It can be said that golden nanmu is one of the most expensive woods in the world.

In ancient times, this kind of wood could only be used by the royal family, so it was also called imperial wood. Except for a few temples, other people could not use it indiscriminately.

In Chinese architecture, golden nanmu has always been regarded as the most ideal, precious and high-end building material. This is because golden nanmu is resistant to corrosion, repels insects, is warm in winter and cool in summer, is not easily deformed, has fine and magnificent texture, and is extremely exquisite. , so it is widely used in palaces, gardens, altars, temples and mausoleums.

In recent years, golden nanmu furniture has frequently fetched sky-high prices.

Even the logs of golden nanmu are extremely valuable.

It is no exaggeration to say that if your home has one or two mature golden nanmu trees, you will be rich.

"Ah! Is this the golden nanmu?"

"So it looks like this."

"How much is such a big golden nanmu worth?"

"Let's talk about hundreds of thousands less!"

"Hundreds of thousands? Just go to sleep! Such a big golden nanmu, if it is not hollow, it will start at a million."

"It's underestimated, at least tens of millions."

……

In the live broadcast room, the audience chatted more and more outrageously.

In front of Zhang Yaohua and others is a large tree about one meter in diameter. It is also very beautiful and straight. If this is golden nanmu, there are many things that can be made.

pity! Everyone can only watch with envy, who dares to move?

Nowadays, you risk going to jail if you cut down ordinary forest trees without permission, let alone such precious wood.

You know, golden nanmu is now a national second-level protected plant.

Some people began to worry that if such a precious tree was exposed, would it attract prying eyes? If it is illegally cut down, who will bear the responsibility?

Some people hold different views on this.

Once such a valuable thing is exposed and attracts attention, it will be safer. Because everyone knows that there is a golden nanmu tree here, and they are all staring at it! Who dares to take action?

Not to mention ordinary people, even people with a little energy must be wary of three points. They must think twice before making a move and ask themselves whether they can get the bottom of things.

Therefore, it is a good thing to be exposed.

This is indeed the case. After the exposure of the program, the relevant departments also noticed this tree. The next step is to take protective measures, such as installing infrared cameras and other monitoring methods nearby.

Director Wang reminded: "Let's go! What we are looking for today is the white-lipped deer."

As soon as these words came out, the audience in the live broadcast room laughed.

In fact, I should have been looking for white-lipped deer since yesterday. But yesterday I was looking for missing people, and today I first encountered an injured giant panda, and then I encountered this precious golden nanmu.

The search for the white-lipped deer dragged on.

Fortunately, Director Wang has not forgotten what they are going to do.

They walked for almost an hour. Gawa walked around twice, looking at him as if he was a little confused.

"Brother Gawa, what's wrong?" Teacher Huang couldn't help but ask.

Although he could still hold on, he was almost gritting his teeth. I have gotten a bit older and my physical strength is not as good as before. This time the show has to go into the mountains, which is more tiring than usual mountain climbing.

"I used to see the white-lipped deer near here, but I didn't see it this time."

Someone said: "You can't see anything normal! People can't all stay here, right?"

Gawa shook her head: "You don't understand, many animals have their own range of activities. The white-lipped deer's activity range is this two to three kilometers.

From here we can almost see it. "

Where they are now, the altitude is relatively high, and they can almost see everything in a radius of two to three kilometers. What's more, Gawa came looking for it with a telescope, but she couldn't find it.

"There are so many trees, maybe they are hidden." Zhou Ziqi said.

Only Zhang Yaohua knew that the white-lipped deer was still nearly ten kilometers away from here!

Zhang Yaohua explained: "Maybe I'm going out to find a partner."

It seemed like a joke, but Gawa suddenly realized it and patted her head: "Ah! Yes, it's possible. It also disappeared for a while around this time last year."

Director Wang was dumbfounded.

What should I do?

There are so many people watching online! All waiting to see the white-lipped deer. Now, you tell me, that white-lipped deer went far away to find a wife? Isn't it in vain?

After Gawa finished speaking, she looked at Director Wang with an awkward expression.

Everyone then subconsciously looked at Zhang Yaohua, as if he was the core of the entire program team.

Since yesterday, the show seems to be led by Zhang Yaohua.

Zhang Yaohua pointed to a nearby hoofprint and said: "This should be the hoofprint of the white-lipped deer. If you follow this hoofprint, you have a high probability of finding the white-lipped deer."

Only then did everyone see the hoof prints next to the grass. If you look carefully, you can find other ones. Although they are very shallow, you can still find them if you look carefully.

Everyone had to admire Zhang Yaohua's observation skills and his level of meticulousness which was simply terrifying.

"Yaohua, if you don't become a police officer, you're wasting your talent." Zhou Ziqi joked.

If you become a police officer, your crime detection rate will soar? To do that kind of thing, what is most needed is the patience and vision to find evidence, which is what Zhang Yaohua is good at.

Zhang Yaohua smiled and thought to himself: If I become a policeman, the criminals will suffer.

It's not that he is arrogant. With this golden finger, finding the murderer is as easy as drinking water and eating.

Gawa continued to look for the hoofprints of the white-lipped deer ahead and followed them.

After a while, Zhang Yaohua suddenly called Ga Wa who was living in front of him and was clearing the way.

The mountain road ahead was difficult to walk and was covered with vines, thorns, shrubs, etc. He needed to use a machete in front to split some plants blocking the road.

"Brother Gawa, wait!"

Gawa looked back at Zhang Yaohua with a blank look on her face.

Others had the same expression.

Director Wang's heart skipped a beat, feeling that his search for the white-lipped deer was about to be interrupted again.

Sure enough, as he expected.

Zhang Yaohua walked over and moved Gawa's machete away from a plant.

"You can't cut this! This thing is very rare. If you cut it, it will be gone." Zhang Yaohua told him.

Everyone looked at the plant, trying to identify it.

I saw that the plant looked like a palm, four or five meters high, with a yellow-orange flower in the middle, in the shape of a cylinder.

Everyone looks familiar.

"Is it rare? Why do I feel like I've seen it in the park?"

"It's true. I feel like I've seen it before. What's going on? What's the name of this thing? I forgot."

……

Many people expressed their opinions.

Even Teacher Huang looked at Zhang Yaohua dubiously: "Yaohua, what is the name of this plant? It looks familiar to me. I seem to have seen it in the botanical garden. It can't be said to be very rare, right?"

Zhang Yaohua shook his head slightly: "Strictly speaking, this plant is almost extinct, and it has the same nature as the South China tiger."

what?

Everyone was shocked again.

so serious?

After hearing this, Gawa also broke into a cold sweat. If I had cut him off with a knife just now, I don’t know if I would have gone to jail.

Zhang Yaohua continued: "This is called Wood Cycad. It is one of the rarest plants in the world and has been listed as extinct in the wild. Before this, the only wild Wood Cycad found in the world was located in a place on the edge of the Noye Forest in South Africa. On the slope.

Everyone also knows that if there is only one plant left in the wild, it is almost certain to become extinct.

We still have South China tigers, but only the ones in the zoo are left. If we want to reproduce, we can only breed close to each other. Everyone should know the consequences of inbreeding.

I never expected that a wild Wood Cycad could be found in our country.

Director Wang, in my opinion, you should contact the relevant agencies! This means a lot. "

have to! Director Wang knew that things were not that simple.

No, the rhythm is off again.

However, since a plant of this level is discovered, the relevant departments must be notified anyway. As Zhang Yaohua said, this is of great significance to Wood Cycads and is also of great significance to my country's biodiversity research.

So, he had to contact the relevant departments.

The other party was an expert on rare creatures. When he heard the news, he almost thought it was just to entertain him.

After all, in the consciousness of many biologists, native wood cycads should be found in Africa and not in other continents. Now, someone told him that wild Wood Cycads were found in Sichuan.

Isn't this a joke?

However, when he saw the photo, his eyes almost popped out of his head.

Even under the guidance of Director Wang, he opened the live broadcast platform to watch the show. After his observation, he was almost certain that it was indeed a wild Wood Cycad.

He immediately asked Director Wang for the specific location and said he would send someone there immediately.

The audience in the live broadcast room looked at each other.

I thought it was an ordinary program, but I didn't expect it to be so fun and I always find something strange.

If this continues, after filming this season of the show, I don’t know how many unexpected situations and strange things I will encounter.

The previous search for Chinese sturgeons led to the underground cage incident, which made many enthusiasts aware of finless porpoises and white sturgeons. Yesterday, we started searching for white-lipped deer. First, we helped find missing geological research members, discovered mysterious ancient tombs, and then encountered them again today. Giant panda, golden nanmu, etc.

Accidents always come so suddenly.

The show doesn’t follow the routine!

Not to mention the audience, even the director of the show was numb. Everyone can tell it by looking at Director Wang's expression.

"Holy shit! I checked, and if that is a wild Wood Cycad, it seems to be the second wild Wood Cycad in the world. It is indeed rare."

"You have to be the island owner!" There were many Zhang Yaohua fans in the live broadcast room, so they naturally called him the island owner.

"You may not know much about the island owner, but he is the man whom the villagers claim to be blessed by Mazu."

……

The program crew stayed for a while and set off again.

Director Wang only hopes that nothing will happen again this time and that the white-lipped deer can be found as soon as possible. Don't spend the night in the mountains today! With so many people, although safety is guaranteed, it is still inconvenient.

This time we walked a long way and everyone rested by a stream.

Gawa also looked for many animal tracks by the creek and identified one of them as a white-lipped deer.

He told everyone: "That's right! The white-lipped deer has been here before, and the hoof prints are still fresh, within a day or two."

So, it means that the white-lipped deer is not far away from them.

Hearing this, Director Wang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yaohua, what did you pick up?" Zhu Weiguang's sharp eyes saw that Zhang Yaohua seemed to have picked up something.

Zhang Yaohua spread his hand, and in his palm was a red thing, a bit like a gem.

Zhu Weiguang's people quickly attracted the attention of others, and they all looked at the thing in Zhang Yaohua's hand.

"Yeah! It looks like a ruby, let me see it." Zhou Ziqi reacted the fastest.

She had wanted to buy a ruby ​​pendant, so she went to find out more about it.

A woman! There is almost no resistance to these things. There are few women who are not interested in jewelry.

Zhang Yaohua handed it to her.

Everyone was speechless.

Are you here to film a show? How do you feel about your pursuit of treasure hunting?

They were also convinced.

If this were a ruby, how much would it be worth? In everyone’s mind, rubies seem to be very expensive, costing tens of thousands per carat. That piece is as big as a toe.

Someone knowledgeable can give you a standard.

A gem the size of your thumb, equivalent to 5 carats. Therefore, a gem as big as the toe must be at least 10 carats.

Ruby is also called red corundum. The mining environment is difficult and the origin is relatively small. Most rubies have cracks, flaws, wrinkles, etc., so pure rubies are very rare.

Things are rare and expensive, so the price of rubies is naturally out of reach.

After looking at it for a while, Zhou Ziqi shook her head: "It doesn't look like Ruby."

Zhang Yaohua took it and said with a smile: "This is indeed not a ruby, it is a red diamond."

"Red diamond? Diamond?"

Wouldn't that be more expensive?

Diamonds are inherently expensive, not to mention colored diamonds.

Although artificial diamonds are now available in our country, the myth of diamonds has been broken. But natural colored diamonds are still ridiculously expensive. Like red diamonds, much higher than rubies.

Red diamonds are rare natural red diamonds. They are rare and precious diamonds among gemstones. They are also the diamonds with the highest price per carat on the market.

In terms of value, it is not pure red diamonds that are the most expensive. The most valuable ones are red diamonds with purple tones, followed by pure red diamonds, and then red diamonds with orange tones. Red diamonds with brown tones are relatively the least valuable.

What Zhang Yaohua picked up this time was a red diamond with a purple tint.

"Isn't it possible?" Someone immediately expressed disbelief.

Or don’t want to believe it.

Because they saw the information about red diamonds. There are less than 100 carats of such diamonds dug up in the world. They are really rare.

At present, the largest red diamond found in the world is only 5 carats, and a 1-carat red diamond of ordinary color costs millions. No kidding, one carat is worth millions, and if it is made into jewelry, it will be even more expensive.

"I don't think it's possible either. I've never heard of red diamonds being produced in our country."

"You know what the heck, our country is vast and rich in resources, and you know how many good things are hidden under the ground? It's really funny!"

"The largest red diamond in the world is only a few carats. The one he picked up must be at least ten carats, right? Is it possible?"

"Why isn't it possible?"

……

In the live broadcast room, the audience started trolling each other again.

The people present looked at each other in confusion.

If this were a red diamond, it would easily cost tens of millions if it were auctioned! Even if it’s over 100 million yuan, it’s too fast to make money, right?

Even Teacher Huang swallowed: "It's not really a red diamond, is it?"

Zhang Yaohua didn’t explain much: “We’ll find out when we go back to a professional appraisal agency for appraisal!”
