Eagle Sauce: The 055 destroyer was launched into the sea just after the founding of the country?

The reason why Fang Yu planned to make money from this angle was because, in essence, diamonds were just a scam.

Compared with precious metals such as gold, silver and platinum that cannot be synthesized, diamonds are, after all, just a variation of carbon.

Simply put, diamond is a single crystal composed of carbon formed under high pressure and high temperature conditions deep in the earth.

As long as the technology is mastered, diamonds can be artificially made from carbon.

Moreover, even for natural diamonds, the world's reserves are astonishingly high, reaching 25 billion carats.

However, due to the monopoly and deceptive propaganda of certain Western companies, most people in the world believe that diamonds are extremely rare and expensive.

Therefore, a slightly larger diamond can often be sold at a sky-high price of hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars.

It was not until Longguo mastered the manufacturing technology of gem-grade artificial diamonds that the marketing myth of diamonds began to gradually shatter.

In Fang Yu's current era, artificial diamond technology has not yet been developed.

All diamonds are considered natural diamonds by default.

Therefore, Fang Yu planned to take advantage of this time difference and make a fortune!

While drawing the design of the machine, Fang Yu recalled that when he was still in another Dragon Country, his girlfriend dragged him to the jewelry counter and spent a huge amount of money to choose those dazzling but actually worthless diamond rings.

A sense of satisfaction of revenge arises spontaneously.

Over the years, foreigners have used marketing methods to cheat many Chinese people out of their money. This time, they are going to cheat them.

This can be considered as retribution...

……

Soon, Fang Yu sorted out the design drawings of the machine.

After all, the principle of this machine is not complicated, and its operating principle is surprisingly simple.

In a high-temperature and high-pressure environment of 2300°C and 15 to 18 atmospheres of pressure, a very small natural diamond is placed in the center as a seed.

High-temperature liquid metal is poured around the seed diamond, and graphite is added to the upper layer of the metal solution.

Under these conditions, the carbon atoms in the graphite will line up from the metal atoms to the diamond to form new diamonds.

Such a machine can produce diamonds of about 5 carats within an hour.

The largest diamond can weigh about 1 carat.

Fang Yu had just checked the price of diamonds in the 50s.

The price of a one-carat diamond is around $800-1000.

Although it may not seem like much, in fact, in the 50s, when the US dollar was not yet linked to oil, it was directly exchanged for gold at an equivalent value.

You can buy 1 gram or even 1.5 grams of gold for one dollar!

My machine can run 24 hours a day, so the daily diamond output is 120 carats.

In other words, I can earn at least $96000 every day!

You know, the price of an F86 Sabre jet fighter, which was the most advanced at the time, was only $40.

I can earn enough to buy an f86 in just four days!

This speed of making money is almost catching up with the money printing machine...

Moreover, this is the money that can be earned from one machine. If I build ten of them...

Thinking of this, Fang Yu shook his head instantly.

Diamonds are not a hard currency, and all sales channels are controlled by certain large Western companies.

They may not even realize that I can make some money by making some diamonds myself.

If you are too greedy and spread this artificial diamond on a large scale, it will definitely arouse the other party's vigilance.

Moreover, as the saying goes, scarcity makes things valuable.

Once there is too much of something, it naturally becomes worthless.

I can't do something like killing the chicken to get the eggs...

……

Two days later, Fang Yu finally returned to the familiar Northeast Military Factory.

After a lively welcoming ceremony.

Fang Yu explained to Wang Changhai and others that the higher-ups had approved his plan to expand and renovate the Northeast Military Factory.

For the future of Longguo’s military, the Northeast Military Factory must be expanded into a new modern military factory!

Hearing Fang Yu's words, Wang Changhai and his group were naturally surprised and happy.

I didn’t expect that Fang Yu’s trip to the imperial capital would bring back such a huge fortune to the Northeast Military Factory.

However, when they heard that the funds had not yet been disbursed, they sighed again.

As the first employees of the Northeast Military Factory, Wang Changhai and his colleagues naturally hope that it will develop better and more comprehensively.

But at the same time, they also know the difficulties that Longguo is facing now.

Longguo really has no money now!

There was originally some interest-free loans from the Bear Country that could be used, but as the Bear Country withdrew its aid, they were taken away as well.

The current financial situation of the Dragon Kingdom is barely enough to support the logistics of 200,000 soldiers on the front line.

Not to mention, allocating funds to build a modern military factory.

However, when they heard that Fang Yu wanted to make money for construction himself, their faces suddenly became a little strange.

Although I don’t know how much it will cost to build a new base, it’s an astronomical figure no matter how I think about it.

How could Fang Yu possibly put it together by himself?

"Before, I didn't have any good ideas, but now, I can finally come up with one."

Hearing Wang Changhai and the others' doubts, Fang Yu said with a smile.

Then he told this group of people about his plan to make money by manufacturing artificial diamonds and selling them to Hong Kong Island.

At the same time, the drawings of the "artificial diamond manufacturing machine" were also handed to a group of technicians.

"Fang Yu, can that 'diamond' you mentioned really be sold for that much money?"

After listening to Fang Yu's words, Wang Changhai asked doubtfully.

"Can this be eaten or drunk?"

"Old Wang, you know nothing! Can gold be eaten or drunk? Isn't it because so many capitalists and wealthy wives love it?"

"Fang Yu, what you want to earn is these people's money, right?"

At this time, Deputy Factory Director Zhao Zecheng, who had been silent, summed up.

"Yes, they make money from these capitalists and wealthy ladies!"

"Not only that, I also want to make money from those Western guys!"

Fang Yu said with a smile.

"They burned, killed, looted, and committed all sorts of evil in our Dragon Country back then, stealing so much from us."

"Things have changed, now it's time for them to bleed a little!"

"Hey! You young people are really smart. If it were me, I would never be able to come up with such a way to make money."

Wang Changhai chuckled, stood up and patted his chest and said.

"Alright! As long as we can earn enough money to build a new base for us and it's not illegal, I, Wang Changhai, will be the first to do it with you!"

With Wang Changhai taking the lead, other technicians in the military factory also expressed their opinions.

"Brother Fang, add me in! I'll fight you!"

"For the new base, let's fight!"

"Hehe, I'm not really interested in making money, but the thought of being able to cheat those foreigners makes me excited!"

"I'll join in too!"

"..."

"Senior, I, I want to join too!"

After a group of people expressed their opinions, Su Niannian also squeezed next to Fang Yu and said.

"Sure! With a physics major like you here, the project will definitely be much faster!"

Seeing Su Niannian volunteering, Fang Yu nodded.

But then, Fang Yu's gaze fell on Su Niannian.

Su Niannian, who is usually very graceful, was now nervously rubbing the corner of her clothes, looking a little shy.

Fang Yu was stunned.

This girl, why is there something wrong today? Is she trying to...

Suddenly, Fang Yu asked in panic.

"Nian Nian, do you... have any other questions?"

"Um...senior, if our plan really succeeds, can I ask for a reward?"

"what do you want?"

Fang Yu asked guiltily.

"Can you make me a diamond with your machine?"

Su Niannian blinked her bright eyes and looked at Fang Yu pitifully.

"I promise, just a small piece, just a small piece..."

"..."

Seeing Su Niannian's expression, Fang Yu suddenly felt helpless.

It seems that no matter what era, women have no resistance to shiny things like diamonds...
