When a diamond is in the hands of a jewelry businessman, it is a gimmick treasure that is stamped with "diamonds are permanent," which can squeeze a man's pocket dry.
But in fact, except for the "jewelry" attribute of diamonds, there are not many other uses.
In industrial technology, natural diamonds are rarely used.
Because almost all the places where they are needed are replaced by synthetic diamonds.
The industrial technology of using high-energy lasers to vaporize diamonds and vapor deposition them on the display was the first of its kind in Monster Industries. It was also a new job for the industrial use of raw diamond mines.
Unlike the previous coating technology on the dream display, the transparency of the coating after the vaporization of the raw diamond was enough to allow the dream display to obtain excellent enough imaging effects.
However, the imaging lens of the holographic glasses was only the size of a matchbox. If the user wanted to obtain the same perspective as in the real world through the matchbox-sized imaging lens, the technology of the coating must be improved and improved.
From very small, it can be magnified to tens of millions of times and ensure that the user cannot observe the existence of any fuzzy pixel points.
Only by making the lens transparent and flawless to the point where its existence cannot be observed by the naked eye can this be guaranteed.
"We need higher purity diamonds so that we can save more time for purification after vaporization." The Master Craftsman shrugged his thin shoulders and handed the raw diamond information in the current factory inventory to Ye Qing. "At present, the number of ultra-high purity raw diamonds supplied by Nigeria is far from enough."
"Boss, we have to find more supplies."
"Are you asking me to open a sideline of a jewelry businessman?" After reading the raw diamond ore information in the factory inventory, Ye Qing suddenly felt a little dizzy.
There were many raw diamonds in the inventory, but among these raw diamonds, there were only less than 300 grams of WS1 raw diamonds of the third standard grade.
All gemstone minerals, as long as they are attached with commercial attributes, are often the most fundamental element that determines their commercial value.
Things are precious when they are rare, and pure gemstones are scarce in nature.
Like beautiful jade, emerald, and gemstones.
Raw diamonds of the same size are often distinguished by their purity. The purer the diamond, the more it can win people's hearts and the rarer it is.
The International Diamond Organization divides the diamond rating standard into eleven purity levels.
Diamonds below the SI2 grade basically have no commercial circulation value, and its purpose is only as a diamond abrasive.
An SI2-grade diamond meant that there were fine mineral impurities inside the diamond. It was only suitable for grinding into small diamonds for jewelry decoration.
The level of raw diamonds that squeezed a man's wallet dry was usually VS2, VS1, WS2, and WS1.
The other mineral flaws in diamonds of this grade could only be discovered with a high-powered magnifying glass. After these raw diamonds were cut and polished into diamond rings, they would show a dazzling and colorful luster under the light.
It was also this colorful luster that had charmed the hearts of countless beauty-loving girls.
Above that, there was also the IF grade, which was suitable for making expensive jewelry.
The standard limit for diamond purity was FL grade.
The highest grade was also known as a flawless diamond. This meant that even under a super high magnification magnifying glass, the interior of the diamond was flawless, without any mineral impurities.
In the past, the diamond raw materials imported by Monster Industries from Nigeria were all fine diamond raw materials above the WS2 level.
Even under the careful examination of a ten-fold magnifying glass, it was difficult to find the mineral flaws within these fine diamond raw materials.
This kind of diamond material could be used as a coating for the Dream Display.
Now, even the WS1 grade was not qualified to be coated with holographic glasses. The lowest standard was the IF grade, which was second on the purity level list. And before the coating, it had to be purified to remove all other mineral impurities even at the nanometer level.
The cruelty and extremes of the industry were often reflected in these seemingly insignificant details.
To coat the holographic glasses, even if it was only a nano-level mineral flaw, it would be coated on the surface of the glasses.
When the user put on the holographic glasses and experienced the virtual world with a 180-degree stereoscopic perspective, the flaw would be magnified tens of thousands of times and become a visual stain of a few tenths of a millimeter.
Perhaps a stain of a few tenths of a millimeter would not affect the user's visual experience.
But who could do it? Fortunately, there was only one flaw on a mirror body?
This probability was lower than winning the 100 million dollar grand prize.
If the purification standard was relaxed slightly, it would undoubtedly save a lot of purification processes and lower the grade of the raw diamond to WS1.
But if this was done, the surface of an originally pure and flawless mirror body would be covered with pieces of nano-level mineral impurity particles.
When users put on this kind of glasses to experience the virtual world, there would be slight color aberration and pieces of blurry visual spots that were not obvious but could not be removed.
In terms of processing efficiency, only the second-ranked IF grade purity raw diamond was qualified to be a coating material for holographic glasses.
But the current situation was that the fine diamond raw materials above WS2 were already scarce.
Now, even if General Maups of Nigeria controlled the entire territory of the Western Region, the three diamond mines in the territory produced less than 30 grams of IF grade raw diamond every day.
Not to mention the FL ultimate purity raw diamond that was as rare as morning stars.
The higher the purity, the less time it would take to further purify the raw diamond ore after it was vaporized in a vacuum environment, and the less the raw material would be wasted.
Because of the scarcity of IF grade raw diamond, now the factory could only let the Master Craftsman carefully mark the location of the internal defects of WSI grade raw diamond ore under a high-power microscope. Finally, these defects were cut and separated from the raw ore to obtain the finely fragmented FL grade raw diamond.
This is a meticulous and time-consuming manual work. Diamond is the hardest material in the world. How can it be easy to cut it accurately?
"Boss, I don't think even opening a jewelry business can meet our needs."
The Master Craftsman was serious. "We need a lot of IF grade raw ore, preferably FL ultimate purity raw ore. I asked General Maups, who is responsible for supplying us, and they said that not to mention Nigeria, even the diamond jewelers in Europe did not have the ability to come up with more than 500 grams of IF grade raw diamond ore. "
"I can't help it if you do this."
"The purity of synthetic diamonds can't be used at all."
Ye Qing was a little embarrassed. "As for searching for IF grade raw ore, it's obviously not a matter that can be solved with money. No, let's expand the purchase of WS1 grade raw diamond ore first. "
"We can only waste some man-hours to cut these raw diamonds to remove the impurities and turn them into higher purity broken diamonds."
"We can let those jewelers hand over the bottom of the box inventory." The Master Craftsman raised his eyebrows, and his eyes were full of expectations. "I heard that these jewelers have hidden a lot of WS1 grade raw diamonds in the bank vault, and even a few FL ultimate purity raw diamonds."
"They stock these raw diamonds to raise the price of the international diamond market. If they get these stocks to the factory, they can alleviate the current shortage of raw materials."
"Do you think they will sell?" Ye Qing knew that the Master Craftsman had far underestimated the greed of capital merchants.
If they knew that Monster Industries was in urgent need of a large number of ultra-high purity raw diamond ores, they would not take advantage of the situation and raise the price of raw materials by several layers.
