The fifth chapter!
Jiang Ye was very curious, but rather than stay here and be curious, he might as well go in and take a look.
According to the ancient records, the Silver-Winged General, who was also the Silver-Armored General, had mined that strange and beautiful stone.
That was why they used those stones as currency to exchange for food and daily necessities.
Jiang Ye had thought about gold, but if it was gold, no one would describe it as a rock.
Gold had always been a common currency since ancient times, so it was very likely that it was something very valuable that could make people who were incomparably rich willing to pay for it with some people's lives.
What could it be?
Jiang Ye headed into the cave, but a deep passage that led down appeared.
The passageway poured down and Jiang Ye walked along it.
However, when he walked into the passageway, Jiang Ye felt as if he had stepped on something.
He moved his foot away and saw a small bag under his foot. There were some broken stones in the bag, or at least that was what Jiang Ye felt.
He picked up the small bag and opened it. When he took out the small stone from the bag, his eyes suddenly widened.
"This is…!"
"Diamonds! Master, there's a high possibility that there's a diamond vein here!”
At that moment, Jiang Ye slapped his forehead and shouted,""I should have thought of it long ago. What kind of stone could make the rich scramble for it? Only diamonds, only diamonds!"
Jiang Ye's heart immediately perked up. The value of diamonds was not unfamiliar to modern people.
Although diamonds were also divided into color, size, clarity, and cut.
However, a normal diamond was worth tens of thousands of yuan per carat!
In fact, those with high clarity and perfect diamonds cut by a master could reach hundreds of thousands of carats!
And the name of the world's four great diamonds was even more resounding.
The Prince Regent, the Star of South Africa, the Mountain of Brightness, and Blue Hope.
Diamonds were famous all over the world and were priceless!
However, Jiang Ye calmed down. Although he had discovered a diamond vein, it didn't mean that he would be able to find the four diamonds.
However, there were a few pills in the small bag in Jiang Ye's hand. In terms of size alone, the raw stones of these diamonds were probably worth a lot.
Moreover, there was an entire diamond mine here. Although it felt like a lot, diamonds were one in a million.
"System, can you tell how big this diamond mine is?”
"This is a small to medium-sized diamond mine, but because of its geographical location. The purity of the diamond is frighteningly high, Master…From a secular point of view, if this diamond vein is mined and sold, you would already be a super rich man!”
Although the system did not say how much wealth this mineral vein represented, the title of super rich was enough to prove it.
But there was something called a hot potato. Jiang Ye quickly calmed down and said,""The rarer something is, the more valuable it is. My goal is not to be a diamond dealer. This place had already been announced. There would definitely be many people coming over in the future. This place should be made to disappear.”
If a small diamond vein had a high purity of diamonds, it meant that the diamonds mined here could be cut by a suitable master.
A carat could sell for at least 50,000 yuan, or even 100,000 yuan!
After deducting all the expenses, the value of this entire diamond vein could be calculated in billions.
Jiang Ye felt a headache coming on. He definitely wouldn't be able to mine it alone, and he didn't have that much time to mine diamonds on the mountain.
Hoen's men were definitely on their way, and there were even many people who would choose to go up the mountain to look for him at this time.
"Master, in view of your consideration, why don't you choose a certain size of rough diamond and then bring that rough diamond down the mountain to be cut by a professional cutting master? I believe that this way, you will be able to reap the most benefits.”
Jiang Ye was enlightened. This was the principle of the rarer the item, the more valuable it was.
The reason why diamonds were so precious, apart from being rare and beautiful, was because their production was never high.
As an individual, Jiang Ye's best choice was to take a diamond with him.
"Alright, let's do that."
"Master, the system has already prepared it for you. There are countless people waiting for you at the foot of the mountain. Some people with ulterior motives have even begun to come to the mountain to look for you, so this entire diamond mine can't be guarded.”
As the system spoke, Jiang Ye looked at the end of the excavation and saw another rock falling down.
He knew that this was what the system had prepared for him, so he put the raw diamond away and said,"No one will be able to reach my current location before dawn. In that case, I'll wait until nightfall to completely destroy this diamond mine.”
"Master, it seems that you have a solution.”
Jiang Ye's lips curled into a cold smile as he said,""Of course there is. It is very difficult to protect something, but it is extremely easy to destroy something. To quote the words of the ancient rulers, if I can't get it, no one else can!”
