Chapter 905 Overlapping Skeletons

Bifang wrapped the torch around his forearm and tied a long and thin piece of animal skin on his forehead. At the same time, he made a second torch, found the gap between the rocks, and inserted it into it to provide light.

Everything was ready, and Bifang climbed down the rock wall next to the round platform little by little.

Harley stood on the edge of the round platform, poked his head out to look, raised his forelimbs and grabbed down a few times, and finally retracted his claws and paced on the platform.

Since entering the mine, the unique environment has not given it room to play, so the leopard's presence has always been low.

Looking farther and farther away, Harley called a few times, and seeing no response, he could only lie on the ground helplessly, waiting for Bifang to come up in the light circle.

"Hu."

As the air flow surged, it flowed into the lungs through the mouth and nose, and flowed to the limbs and bones.

There was no stable enough fixed point nearby, and there was no way to tie a safety rope. He could only climb with his hands. In addition, there was not enough light, so you can imagine how difficult it was.

The audience was all terrified and their palms were sweating.

The depressing environment and the difficult movements made Bifang sweat profusely.

At this time, the animal skin on the forehead showed its effect. It can effectively absorb sweat and prevent it from slipping into the eyes. There is no need to wipe it off specially, and you can concentrate on climbing.

"Non-professionals must not imitate me without sufficient safety measures, otherwise" Bifang lay on the rock wall, took a deep breath, and continued, "Remember, one misstep will lead to eternal regret.".

Seeing such a scene, the water friends couldn't help but doubt whether those few diamonds of poor quality were worth it for Lao Fang to take such a risk.

Bifang stopped on a protruding rock, leaned against the rock wall, and took a short rest. After hearing this, he smiled and said: "My purpose is not for money, or money is only a small part of the reason."

Are diamonds valuable?

There is no doubt that they are definitely valuable. Anyone who says they are not valuable can send them over and take as much as they can.

So is the marketing scam that everyone is talking about fake?

There is no doubt that it is all real. Common diamonds will depreciate on the spot when normal people buy them, and second-hand goods cannot even be sold at half the price.

It sounds like a contradiction, but in fact both exist and are not contradictory.

The fundamental reason is that diamonds are valuable, but not that valuable, or in other words, not worth the price marked in shopping malls or big brand jewelry stores.

The existence of marketing scams does not mean that diamonds are worthless.

"Diamond rough is a kind of mineral product. According to the "Theory and Methods of Mineral Resource Exploration", the definition of a deposit is a geological body with economic value, and the definition of an ore is a mineral or rock with economic value."

"The definition of a mineral product is 'excavated, sorted or purified products from a geological body with economic value'. These are all recognized definitions, not made up by me."

"Because diamonds originate from deposits and need to be sorted from ores, they are mineral products, so they have economic value, which is beyond doubt by definition."

"Secondly, according to the National Mineral Reserves Committee Office Room, "Mineral Industry Requirements Reference Manual" and DZ/T0205-2002, the industrial grade of diamond deposits is 0.0008 grams. "

"I know you don't understand what I mean, so I'll explain it here. Simply put, if you can dig out more than 1 gram of diamonds from every 1,250 tons of ore, you can recover the mining cost. "

"If it is changed to gold ore, 1 ton of ore can recover the cost by refining 1 gram of gold. It can be seen that the average value of diamond per unit mass is greater than gold. "

"Don't expose someone's shortcomings when you curse him.

"To be honest, did Lao Fang work as a miner before? 】

【Gold miner, right】

【Strange knowledge has been added】

【The main focus is on a profession】

"So from the cost point of view, high-quality diamonds cannot be worthless. The cost of mining alone is already very high."

"But there is one thing to note, that is, diamonds are not investment products, but consumer products!"

"This point needs to be clearly distinguished from gold, or in other words, most gems are consumer products, not investment products."

"This is also the key reason why the two seemingly contradictory points above appear at the same time."

Buying things that make you look good, make you comfortable, and make you happy is called consumption.

On the contrary, wanting products that maintain or increase value is called investment.

For most people, whether buying skin care products, cars, clothes, or jewelry, the purpose is definitely not to maintain value.

Buying a diamond ring worth thousands or tens of thousands is the same as buying a piece of clothing or a car, just buying it to wear.

The purpose is to look good and have face.

But it is also like clothes and cars. It depreciates when it lands, and it cannot be converted into cash at any time like gold.

Especially when you sell the diamond ring you bought from a jewelry brand, you will find that the diamond ring you bought for 20,000 yuan may not be sold for half of the original price. Unlike gold, if the gold price rises, you can still sell it for 20,000 yuan or even more if you bought it for 20,000 yuan.

Unless you buy a rare pink diamond worth tens of millions of yuan, that behavior can be called investment.

In the foreseeable future, as long as there is no sudden emergence of a diamond mine that can be mined with existing technology, with huge reserves and excellent quality, it will be worth preserving.

And this basically has nothing to do with ordinary people.

Besides all these conditions, the technology of artificial diamonds is becoming more and more mature. Bifang heard that diamonds can be grown now, and they are exactly the same as natural ones. Although he doesn't know whether they are true or not, it must have made the depreciation of diamonds faster.

But no matter what, diamonds are "valued and can be depreciated".

After explaining it to the audience, Bifang continued to climb down.

Everyone finally understood that the so-called "eternal inheritance" and "worthless" are biased.

Based on the foundation that diamonds are valuable, it is not difficult to understand Bifang's behavior at this time.

Of course, he is not really short of this little money, unless there is a pink diamond the size of a pigeon egg below.

Few people know that Bifang has some hamster fetishes, especially this kind of thing that is very rare in the wilderness.

Just like the scars on the hunter's body, it is a symbol of courage.

Those rare trophies are also proof that Bifang has been to this wilderness, and they are medals.

The process of obtaining them personally is the act of hanging the medal on the chest.

The soles of the shoes fell on the ground without making much noise. The dust as thick as a carpet had a perfect effect, and some of the dust almost reached the calf.

Bifang raised his foot, and a clear sole print appeared in the firelight.

There was almost no wind in the cave, but the fallen rock ash had accumulated over the years, making the dust below several millimeters thick.

Holding a torch and shining it around, Bifang walked a few steps along the curved passage between the round platform and the rock wall, and saw an amazing scene after turning the corner.

Two skeletons were wearing tattered denim work clothes, stacked together in a weird overlapping form.

The skull of the skeleton at the bottom was broken, leaving only half intact, and the empty eye sockets seemed to be staring at the explorers who stepped into this place.

The live broadcast room was like a nuclear explosion, and the crowd was excited.

But the two skeletons were definitely not the place to detonate everyone.

Bifang moved his sight to the side not far from the skeleton. There was a palm-sized leather bag. The elastic at the opening had long been broken. The bag, which could not be tied, fell to the side and some of its contents fell out.

Under the firelight, everyone could see clearly.

Shining broken diamonds.
