Chapter 571: Synthetic Diamonds

"Are you crazy?" Before Shi Hongshen finished speaking, Zhang Feilin exclaimed in surprise, "You borrowed money just to buy diamonds for your girlfriend?"

Among the four buddies, according to family background, Shi Hongshen's family background is the best.

But Shi Hongshen's self-control is relatively poor. If it weren't for the strict management of the family, and being friends with Nan Ming, Zhang Feilin and others, and not fooling around with cronies, Shi Hongshen might have become a person like Jiang Feiteng. Then he was locked in directly.

After the college entrance examination, both Nan Ming and Zhang Feilin went to Qingyang University, but Shi Hongshen was admitted to a university in Beijing. In that fancy world, without the restraint and supervision of a few close friends around him, all kinds of temptations came When Yao came, Shi Hongshen immediately became confused.

In the first semester of freshman year, when Nan Ming and Zhang Feilin were busy helping people, participating in competitions, and starting a business, Shi Hongshen completely wasted his time chasing girls. A stack, and even face the risk of downgrading or even being persuaded to quit.

Nanming had tried to persuade him several times, but Shi Hongshen only agreed with his lips, and forgot all about it when he turned around.

Nan Ming also knows something about Shi Hongshen's girlfriend. Her name is Liang Juan. She has a very common name, but she is not an ordinary person.

To be honest, Nan Ming had investigated this person when he knew that Shi Hongshen was dating Liang Juan.

No need to use any relationship, just search on the Internet.

To some extent, Liang Juan is considered an Internet celebrity, very good at hyping herself up, just the news she got from the Internet made Nan Ming want to advise Shi Hongshen to stay away from this person.

But Shi Hongshen's answer was: "I'm already an adult."

Since you are an adult, you have to assume your own choices and responsibilities.

let him go.

Who is not young and frivolous.

It may not be too late when his prodigal son turns back. Shi Hongshen is not a bad person by nature, and he will not commit crimes.

Nan Ming thought so.

But now, Shi Hongshen actually wanted to buy a diamond ring for Liang Juan, but Nan Ming was really surprised: "Do uncles and aunts know?"

"This is my business..." Shi Hongshen scratched his head and buried his face in his arms, "I don't need others to care about it."

"You are looking for Nanming to borrow money now!" Wang Shihao said, "Of course this is about Nanming's business!"

Before Shi Hongshen and Wang Shihao went to college, they knew that Nan Ming was a partner of Lazy God Clubhouse. Wang Shihao only later found out that Nan Ming was the boss of Lazy God Technology. As for Shi Hongshen... Nan Ming thought he should I don't know, for the past few months, he has been completely addicted to Liang Juan's rouge trap, unable to extricate himself, and has no time to care about anyone else.

"Big... At worst, after I graduate, I will help Nan Ming work and pay back the money!" Shi Hong was deeply angry.

"Do you think you are qualified to work for Nan Ming?" Wang Shihao really hated him.

They, a small group of four, got together because of Nan Ming, and the relationship between Wang Shihao and Shi Hongshen was actually not that congenial.

"It's up to you!" Shi Hongshen was almost roaring, "Even if I don't have the qualifications, I'm still more qualified than you!"

Wang Shihao's eyes widened. This was a sign of losing his temper. Nan Ming quickly stopped him and said, "Don't get angry, Shi Hongshen doesn't even know what he's talking about right now."

"I know what I'm talking about! Do you want to lend me money or not!" Shi Hongshen said.

"Can you tell me why you bought a diamond ring for Liang Juan?" Nan Ming asked Shi Hongshen.

Regardless of Shi Hongshen's life and death, in fact, Nan Ming can roughly guess it.

A girl like Liang Juan has never been owned by a certain man. She circles among several men and squeezes their energy and money. As for the diamond ring, maybe she just wants to wear it and take a photo to show herself Show off in your circle of friends, show off on your own account, and feel your presence.

And Shi Hongshen wanted to buy her a diamond ring so much, maybe it was because another person bought her a famous brand of clothes, a limited edition perfume or something else.

Sometimes Nan Ming thinks that human beings are really complicated creatures, even if they don't have authority, they can deceive a person and make a person do extremely irrational things.

But why, it has to be diamonds?

"Because... because I really love her..." Shi Hongshen lowered his head deeply, almost lying on the table.

As the slogan says, Diamond is forever.

A diamond is forever, and a diamond will last forever.

What better expression of teenage love than a sparkling diamond?

Zhang Feilin shook his head, Shi Hongshen didn't understand what love is at all.

She gently hugged Nanming's arm, leaned close to Nanming, looked at Nanming's side face frowning and thinking, recalling every moment before, every day when she was Nanming's best friend glasses girl, and finally became Every day after Nanming's girlfriend.

There doesn't seem to be a clear boundary between the two. Being with Nan Ming doesn't have the passion and romance that she yearns for. I can't wait to get tired of being together all day long. I'm just used to staying with one person and not being with him. Being together is uncomfortable.

The fingers of the two people overlapped subconsciously, Wang Shihao looked at the unconscious movements of the two, and smiled with the corners of his mouth pulled.

Really, I really can't stand people who show affection anytime and anywhere, and abuse me, a single dog.

"Nan Ming won't lend you money to buy a diamond ring, because it's not worth it." Zhang Feilin said, "If you insist on a diamond ring, I can give you one."

"Huh?" Shi Hongshen suddenly widened his eyes.

Zhang Feilin turned around and took her backpack, and found a grooming bag, which contained some skin care products, and then she opened a box, and Nan Ming saw all kinds of glittering jewelry inside.

"This is..." Nan Ming has never seen Zhang Feilin's box before. In his daily life, Zhang Feilin always looks up to the sky with no makeup on, simple and natural.

But in this box, it is full of jewels, with various rings, earrings, bracelets and necklaces.

"These are all designed by me." Zhang Feilin said, she picked up several pairs of diamond rings and spread them out in the palm of her hand for Shi Hongshen to choose.

Just as Han Dong and Su Hongyi always use the institute's 3D printers to do some private work, Zhang Feilin obviously does the same when he is free.

"This is fake..." Shi Hongshen was tongue-tied.

"How come, these are diamonds of more than two carats." Zhang Feilin said, seeing that Shi Hongshen still didn't believe it, Zhang Feilin pulled his wrist, looked at the watch on his wrist, and said: "Your watch is made of sapphire. ?”

Shi Hong nodded deeply, and then Zhang Feilin directly scratched a diamond ring over it, and with a creak, a deep groove was left on the surface of the sapphire.

The Mohs hardness of sapphire is 9, which is almost the hardest substance in nature except diamonds. What is the thing that can cut sapphire? This goes without saying.

"My watch!" Shi Hongshen was about to cry.

Nan Ming pursed his lips and smiled, and vaguely saw Zhang Feilin's demeanor of the glasses girl who was a tomboy back then.

Wang Shihao even gave a thumbs up!

Glasses girl, well done!

Zhang Feilin handed those diamond rings to Shi Hongshen and asked him to choose. Shi Hongshen was completely attracted by the shining diamonds.

"Where did the diamonds come from?" Nan Ming lowered his voice and asked Zhang Feilin. There is no doubt that these rings should be made by Zhang Feilin with a 3D printer. There are all kinds of precious metals in Lazy God's laboratory, but why doesn't he know the laboratory? Can your 3D printer print diamonds? Although the 3D printer he strengthened is very powerful, it may not be able to print diamonds for the time being.

"It was made in the laboratory. Brother Gan said there are many, so I used it." Zhang Feilin said.

"So that's how it is." Nan Ming was stunned.

"Is this a fake diamond?" Wang Shihao asked.

"Of course it's real, it's a man-made diamond." Nan Ming said.

Man-made diamonds are not the same as counterfeit diamonds.

In this world, there are many crystals that can be used to pretend to be diamonds, such as zircon, which are transparent, colorless, and hard crystals, so it is easy to fool laymen. But an insider can tell the true and false at a glance, because the refractive index is different.

But man-made diamonds are real diamonds.

As we all know, diamond is a crystal of carbon, which is actually the same simple substance as graphite, but the internal structure is different.

Man-made diamonds are not a new technology. Humans created diamonds in 1955. After that, fullerenes, graphenes, carbon nanotubes, etc. are all different structures of simple carbon. Carbon is something that cannot be bypassed in modern materials science. An important hurdle, and its research has never stopped.

It's just that man-made diamonds are usually ugly and small, not as shiny as gem-quality diamonds. Most of them are used in industry, and their output is very high, hundreds of times that of natural diamonds, and they are sold at the price of glass.

But Lanshen Technology has invested a lot of energy in the research of artificial diamonds, because artificial diamonds have a wide range of uses.

In fact, the two major research institutes of Lanshen Technology are inseparable from artificial diamonds.

There are two main ways to manufacture diamonds artificially. One is called high temperature and high pressure method, which is carried out by imitating the conditions of diamond formation in nature. The diamonds produced in this way are irregular particles. Another method is called vapor phase deposition. In fact, graphene and carbon nanotubes are also manufactured in this way. Carbon is separated from methane and deposited on the surface of the object continuously to form a thin film of diamond.

"You know that the laser holographic projection system of Lazy God Celebration, the laser used in it is a diamond laser." Nan Ming said, the laser used by Lazy God Technology is pure carbon-12 simple substance diamond, which is manufactured by high temperature and high pressure method Yes, it can excite a super-powerful laser, which is hundreds of times stronger than ordinary lasers, so the laser technology of Lanshen Technology is unique in the world.

The Institute of Biology and Medicine uses diamonds produced by vapor deposition, placing the biological DNA material on the thin-film diamond, and then promoting it to combine with the carbon atoms on the diamond surface in a certain way, which can give "DNA information." "Taking a photo and storing it permanently is by far one of the most commonly used ways of permanently storing DNA information.

Because Lanshen Technology has a great demand for diamonds, they manufactured several equipment for making diamonds and put them in Lanshen's laboratory.

Listening to Nan Ming's explanation, Wang Shihao picked up a diamond ring, looked at it with wide eyes, and asked in confusion: "Such a diamond that is bigger than a grain of rice can still be man-made, so why is it still so expensive?"

"On the one hand, it is because of Debitz, and on the other hand, the cost of gem-quality diamonds is very high, and the technology is very complicated..." Nan Ming suddenly paused.

Debitz... rhinestones?

Debitz paid sky-high prices for diamonds, which are extremely rich in reserves and can be manufactured artificially, because he monopolized the supply of diamonds.

Later, Russia discovered a super-giant diamond mine and intervened in the diamond market. Debitz had to intervene in the downstream of the diamond industry and began to sell diamonds under his own brand.

This means that Debitz is not invulnerable.

Nanming didn't know who the person who claimed to be "Killing" and wanted to kill the Great Demon King of Nanming was, but there was no doubt that she had something to do with Debitz, maybe it was one of Debitz's hidden shareholder.

Just as "Sha Ming" keeps instigating people to deal with Lazy Technology, Nan Ming can use the same method to deal with Debitz, right?

Dealing with Debitz is tantamount to dealing with "Sha Ming".

For others, gem-quality diamonds are expensive and technically complicated, but for Lanshen Technology, this has never been the case. To be honest, these diamonds are a little more expensive than glass in Lanshen Technology.

Nan Ming was just too lazy to deceive people with such worthless things.

But now, Shi Hongshen's paranoia and Wang Shihao's words reminded Nan Ming, and Nan Ming couldn't help feeling: "Sure enough, I'm not bad enough to think of such a way."

Once an idea pops up, it can no longer be restrained. There are countless plans popping up in Nan Ming's mind. He seems to have seen Debitz's assets shrinking, and Sha Ming jumping in a hurry, but there is nothing he can do.

And as long as Sha Ming is in a hurry, she will definitely show her feet. At that time, Nan Ming will never let her slip away so easily.

"Shihao, that's a good question of yours."

"Huh?" Wang Shihao was taken aback. He didn't know that it was because of his words that provoked the biggest turmoil in the luxury goods industry since this century, which directly led to an epic battle.

Over there, Shi Hongshen was even more ignorant of everything. He finally chose a diamond ring and asked Zhang Feilin blankly, "Can I really choose?"

"Of course." Zhang Feilin nodded, seeing Shi Hong happily put away the diamond ring, but Zhang Feilin sighed.

Young man, why are you in such a deep place that no one can rescue you?

She said to Shi Hongshen: "Hongshen, I've heard you talking about Juanjuan all day long, but we've never met each other before, why don't we make an appointment together sometime and meet up?"

Nan Ming could see the gleam in Zhang Feilin's eyes, and he knew that Zhang Feilin was planning to make a move.

Zhang Feilin wanted to see for herself why this mysterious Liang Juan fascinated Shi Hongshen so much.

Shi Hongshen said with a cheerful smile, "Okay, I'll bring her over in two days, let's meet and get to know each other."

A war between women and women is about to start. (To be continued.)
