1498. Trees that money can't measure
"Do you know what oxygen-deficient ice is? Actually, this is not an academic term. It is just a default name in the collection industry, referring to an ice-like crystal. Of course, this thing is actually not ice crystals. It just looks very similar to ice crystals, but it cannot see oxygen. Once it comes into contact with air, it will immediately dissipate..."
Little Black began to talk about the hypoxia ice, and then introduced the source of the name and then introduced the composition of the substance. He muttered for four or five minutes but had not finished the introduction.
Qin Shiou was stunned when he heard this. He didn't want to take the postgraduate entrance examination. What crystals should be studied and what oxidation reactions should be done?
I was impatient to hear that he interrupted Little Black and said, "Stop! Damn, I really lost to you. I asked you about the category of wood. What do you tell me about their reactions when they encounter oxygen?"
Little Black said in a disdainful tone: "Knowledge, man, knowledge is wealth! Do you need to learn more? You don't know such famous woods, but I knew them when I was five years old. At that time, my father taught me when I was doing a week in San Cacaro Cathedral..."
"Then your childhood was so sad. You have to learn chemistry and physics for a week. Okay, don't change the topic or tease me. Tell me, what is this?" Qin Shiou reacted. This guy has been trying to keep his appetite.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Xiao Black's laughter came from the microphone and said, "This is Saint Sandalwood, my buddy, where did you get this thing? Did another shipwreck appear?"
Given the number of shipwrecks that Qin Shiou has seen from the sea in recent years, Xiao Black is no longer surprised by this.
Qin Shiou naturally would not follow his words. He explained: "No, that's it. When I just bought a fishing ground and cleaned up an abandoned warehouse, I found this kind of wood in it. The wood was carefully preserved. I think they should be valuable, so I asked you, is this kind of wood valuable? How much does it cost?"
Little Black said in a helpless tone: "Then why do you call me? Isn't it okay to give me a photo? Come on. Let's start a video and let me see if these woods are holy sandalwood. If they are really, then the value will be great!"
Qin Shiou then realized that he had dug a hole for himself, and he definitely couldn't take photos and could not video. The wood was in the undersea shipwreck.
So he had a sudden inspiration and said, "Sorry, man, the signal is not good, and the video cannot be opened. This is a deserted fishing ground. It's already great that I can call you!"
After finding a reason for hasty, he then changed the topic: "What kind of holy sandalwood is very valuable? What is the price now?"
Xiao Black did not ask, and he replied: "Yes, it's very valuable. The specific price is hard to say. One gram can range from two or three dollars to twenty or thirty dollars..."
"Fake, sell it according to Ke?" Qin Shiou was surprised. He had seen it just now. The holy sandalwood in this boat was trunks of more than ten to twenty meters, and the thin ones were as thick as adult thighs. The diameter was nearly half a meter, and there were more than twenty pieces in total.
In addition, he used the consciousness of the sea god to create waves to roll them up and they tried to weigh them, and the density was relatively high, at least higher than sea water, because the waves rolled up these woods and put them down and immediately sank to the bottom of the ship.
To calculate this, for example, the thickest wood has a diameter of nearly half a meter and an area of about one quarter of a square meter, multiplied by a height of twenty meters. That is five cubic meters. In addition, its density is greater than water, it is at least five tons and five million grams!
There are more than twenty trees, and although the others are not as tall as this one or not as thick as this one, they can be combined into twenty cubic meters, right? How much is this? 20 million US dollars!
Moreover, this is the most conservative algorithm, which is calculated based on a gram of 1 USD, and the wood density is the same as water, but in fact it is more than that!
Qin Shiou was quick to make mental arithmetic, while Xiao Black was explaining: "Of course, this is holy sandalwood. There are very few such wood now. The remaining pieces of wood are usually small pieces of wood used to make small things like statues, wooden combs, and hairpins. How can it be not expensive?"
After hearing this, Qin Shiou was overjoyed. He asked tentatively: "If, what if, what if, what if, can I have a complete trunk of a holy sandalwood tree here?"
"How complete?" Xiao Black asked subconsciously.
Qin Shiou chose the largest one: "It is about half a meter in diameter and twenty meters in height."
The phone microphone became silent. Qin Shiou thought that Xiao Black was so shocked that he couldn't speak, so he laughed proudly.
As a result, he waited for a while but there was no sound. Hey, he shouted a few times but there was no sound. Then he took it down and saw that his grandson hung up the phone!
Just as I was about to search for information about Saint Sandalwood on the Internet, a strange phone number came over. As soon as he answered, Little Black's voice sounded again: "Shete, it's so unlucky. I threw my phone out in surprise just now. Now it's over!"
"Continue to the topic just now, what did you say? That wood is twenty meters high and eight meters in diameter? Fake! Did he go to God's back garden? Otherwise, how could he find such a large holy sandalwood?!"
Qin Shiou asked, "How much is this worth?"
"This kind of holy sandalwood is no longer a matter of money. I said, man, do you know what the biggest purpose of this tree is?"
Qin Shiou said: "Is your brain as big as a rooster? I don't know what it is, how do you know the purpose?"
Little Black didn't bother with him and said, "I just reminded you that this kind of wood was introduced to me by my father when I was a child."
Qin Shiou thought for a while and asked tentatively: "Oh, I understand, are you making chairs, tables and other things?"
The believers in the church were sitting on chairs and tables in front of them. Since Little Black met while he was working with his father on a weekday, this must have been the one he came into contact with at that time.
Little Black's hysterical voice sounded: "Fake Squid! You damn idiot! It's a cross! It's a big cross that makes the church's roof! How could you think of tables and chairs? It's a big cross!"
"Ok, OK, I know, man, then tell me why it cannot be measured by money? Is money insulting your faith?" Qin Shiou asked with a wry smile.
"Bad insults! We all know that even God loves money! Well, let's go back to the topic, the crosses on them are made of holy sandalwood, so if you make this holy sandalwood into a cross and raise funds to the Holy See, you might as well replace an archbishop!" said Blake Little. (To be continued.)
