Chapter 904 Shining Diamond

Inside the mine.

Bifang held a torch and carefully explored.

The experience just now was still vivid in his mind, so the exploration speed became slower.

The tunnel was as eerie as ever, and the attack just now added an unknown crisis to everyone.

But after half a day, no one saw a diamond that could shine, and almost no one had much hope at this time.

Facing the dim environment for a long time, the firelight was unstable and flickered, and the eyes were also quite tired.

Come to think of it, the mine has been abandoned for who knows how many years. Looking at the equipment and kerosene lamps left in the corner, it seems that it has been abandoned for decades. I don’t know if anyone has come in during this period.

Even if there is no one, would the people who evacuated at the time be kind enough to leave good goods?

[It’s too dark, my eyes are going blind, or we can stop exploring the cave here]

[It’s almost three hours, and there’s nothing]

[If there is really a diamond, how can it be our turn. ]

“That’s right.” Bifang himself wanted to give up, but he went out before exploring the head, which seemed to be incoherent, and he was embarrassed to mention it.

The cave was already stuffy and hot, and the torches were still burning and emitting black smoke. After coming in for half a day, it was completely thankless, hot and tiring.

"If we still can't see the end after another quarter of an hour, we'll go back."

Bifang raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his face and found that his hand was black. He didn't know when he got a hand full of black ash, which was sticky with sweat and dirty.

He raised his arm and wiped the ash on his face with his elbow. Bifang continued to move forward, but this time the corridor suddenly turned a right angle of 90 degrees.

When Bifang turned the corner, what appeared in front of everyone was no longer the complicated maze-like cave entrance, which made people at a loss as to where to go, but a straight columnar space.

At the end of the corridor, a semicircular platform was formed. Bifang stood on the platform and suddenly appeared in this straight columnar space.

He raised his head and held the torch high. The light of the fire shone four or five meters away, but he couldn't see the top rock at all. Going down, it was even more bottomless.

Kicking a nearby stone, Bifang put his ear to the ground, held his breath and listened carefully.

A few seconds later, a subtle echo reverberated and spread in the rock, which was accurately captured by Bifang.

"It took about three seconds, and the depth was about fifty meters. The error will not be large."

Bifang stood up, obviously confident in his judgment.

"The platform under our feet has been dug out for a long time, and its solidity is worrying. So try not to get close to the edge. This is the same whether it is now or in the wild. If you don't have enough experience to judge, don't get close to the edge of the cliff."

Holding a torch and walking around the protruding semicircular platform, Bifang also found the iron ladders distributed on both sides.

Over time, the ladders were covered with reddish-brown rust, peeling off layer by layer, like a burrito, and could not be used at all.

"Let's stop here. I don't really want to go down. There is a high probability that the passage below is dug into a honeycomb, like a maze. I think everyone has experienced it."

[Wait, Fang Shen, take a look at the rock wall in front of you. Is there a diamond on it? 】

In the barrage stream, a not very eye-catching barrage attracted the attention of a small number of people.

[Diamonds, where are the diamonds? ]

[Is it true or not? It's not fishing, right?]

[Just about half a minute ago, backing up, right in front of me, where the firelight shines, I feel like there is a raised translucent stone. I'm not sure if I saw it wrong, just to say]

The "small" number of people in Bifang's live broadcast room is also an astonishing number. Under so many doubts, the person who first posted the barrage suddenly lost confidence and wondered if he saw it wrong.

The cave is really too dark, the range of the firelight is limited, and the time is so long, the audience who persisted more or less felt a little dizzy.

However, as many viewers went back to the time period mentioned in the barrage, after careful observation, they found that it seemed to be true?

[I seem to have seen it, but it felt too dark, so I didn't care so much. I thought it was a light and shadow effect]

[I took a screenshot, it seems to be a little translucent. ]

[Hiss, no, is it really there? 】

[Damn, I'm rich, there's a chance]

After getting support, everyone became confident all of a sudden, and many people asked Bifang to go back and take another look.

At this time, Bifang, who was about to turn around and go back in the direction he came from, saw the barrage and stopped immediately.

There was no way, the live broadcast room was so lively that he couldn't help but pay attention.

"Is there really a diamond?"

Bifang put his head into his hair and wiped it back and forth several times. Finally, he returned to the platform with a torch, stretched his arm as far as possible, and illuminated the opposite rock wall.

It doesn't matter if you don't shine it, but you're really shocked when you shine it.

There's stuff!

There's really stuff!

A thumb-sized gray translucent ore was inserted obliquely on the rock wall, like a weed that grew tenaciously from a crack in the stone.

It's inconspicuous.

If it weren't for the reminder from the fans, Bifang wouldn't have noticed it.

It's worthy of being a netizen with an average of Leeuwenhoek!

And along with this diamond that was discovered by chance, Bifang also found a lot of small diamonds popping up around it for tens of centimeters or dozens of centimeters.

This discovery immediately caught everyone's attention.

[Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, it really exists]

[Shh, you can even see this]

[Wow, this is the size of a thumb, will it be bigger if we dig it out?]

[How big is the world's largest diamond? ]

[Don't bother, this diamond is full of impurities. In fact, there are many large diamonds, but what is rare is large and pure diamonds. This kind of diamond that looks like half a stone is actually not rare and worthless.]

[But at least it proves that there are really diamonds here. Maybe there are high-quality diamonds that have been missed? ]

The barrage of comments emerged explosively, flooding the live broadcast room.

[Hahaha, I just said I saw it]

[Contemporary Leeuwenhoek! ]

[Big brother 666]

Bifang's heart was rarely agitated.

As the audience in the live broadcast room said, perhaps there are as many diamond magazines as stones, but at least it is a good signal.

In Yellowstone National Park in the United States, someone found diamonds on the roadside while playing.

In Ratlapuna, Sri Lanka, someone found sapphire rough on the river beach.

The gems found in the wild are not in the state of sparkling. Sometimes it is likely to be an inconspicuous stone with a slightly different color. Only after cutting and polishing can the dazzling core be exposed.

Without professional identification knowledge, it is likely to be ignored directly.

Eyesight and luck are both indispensable, but luck is the main thing.

Bifang himself is unlucky, but there are always lucky viewers in the live broadcast room. If a water friend hadn't reminded him just now, he might have missed it.

In just 100 years, the number of white salt moths has decreased due to industrial pollution, while the number of originally rare black pepper moths has increased, and after 1950, the pollution control coal ash has reduced and the population has returned again.

This example is available in high school biology textbooks all over the world, as the proudest evidence of evolution.

However, in 1998, there was an essential counterattack, that is, in the natural environment, most of these moths do not choose to rest on the tree trunks, but prefer to rest on the back of branches or in the corners where branches and trunks meet, so black moths, white moths, black bark and white bark are actually irrelevant.

To this day, there is still controversy about this case. Although many textbooks still use this example as a classic case of natural selection, some new versions of higher education textbooks have begun to introduce the voices of anti-evolutionists in this example.
