    Seeing Shao Dongyang take out the cut and shaped diamond, Moses was stunned for a moment. He had never seen a diamond cut before. After all, diamonds are too hard and require strong professional cutting skills. He said in surprise: "  Xiao Shao, the diamond in your hand is really beautiful!"

    "Yes, the diamond will truly emit its beautiful light after it is cut and shaped!" Shao Dongyang responded, then urged: "Senior, please quickly test whether the gemstone you provided me and this diamond are  Isn¡¯t it the same?¡±

    After a moment, a smile appeared on Meriston's cheek, and he said: "Xiao Shao, the main chemical component of the gem in your hand is element No. 6, with a purity of 9999 parts per 10,000, and the one I provided to you  The main chemical component of the gem is also element No. 6, and the purity is above 9997 parts per 10,000. The two are the same gem!"

    "The sixth element is carbon, so the gemstone provided to me by my senior is a diamond! Haha, last time, why didn't I think that the main element of diamonds is carbon?!"

    Shao Dongyang secretly thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Senior, I can now confirm that the gems you provided me are diamonds. Now, we can talk about our future diamond trade Haha, senior, there are definitely diamond resources on Shengtian Star.  It¡¯s very rich!¡±

    "The boundary between rich and not rich is not easy to draw!" Moseston smiled slyly, "However, I can definitely tell you that there are not many high-quality diamonds like the ones I provided you last time. Those are all mine.  A treasure from a private collection! Xiao Shao, on earth, how many times is the price of diamonds than gold?"

    "A hundred times!" Shao Dongyang replied, suddenly remembering that the other party had asked him this question before, and smiled: "Senior, last time, I told you that diamonds are a hundred times as powerful as gold. Do you think I will lie to you?"

    "You were just talking about ordinary diamonds, right?!" Moseston chuckled and said smugly: "I have lived for more than a hundred seasons, and I have more experience than you. High-quality gems are better than ordinary-quality gems.  Gems are many times more valuable, especially huge ones!¡±

    Moseston's life experience is much richer than Shao Dongyang's. Although interstellar liaisons pursue fair transactions, fair transactions require the consent of both parties. However, who knows the other party's situation? He does not have a polygraph machine in his hand.  It can be detected whether Shao Dongyang is lying.

    "Senior is right!" Shao Dongyang smiled awkwardly and explained: "Senior, the six large diamonds you provided me for the first time are considered top gems on earth, and top gems  As an ordinary person, I can¡¯t estimate the price!¡±

    ¡°I can understand this, gemstones are not a necessity in life, but for a rich woman, beautiful jewelry is everything to her!¡±

    "Senior, before, you traded with me and got gold from you, and all this gold came from Senior Feders. In order to get a large amount of gold, senior had to meet the requirements of Senior Feders. This kind of trade method is very important for seniors.  It's very disadvantageous" Shao Dongyang chuckled, and finally expressed his thoughts, "So, I strongly request that in the future, for our trade, senior use diamonds to trade goods on the earth with me!"

    "You little slippery boy, haven't you seen the high profits of diamonds!" Moses revealed Shao Dongyang's thoughts, smiled, suddenly remembered something, and said to Shao Dongyang seriously: "Xiao Shao, there is something  Things, you might be able to help me with"

    "Senior, please give me your instructions! If I can help you, I will definitely do it!"

    Moseston nodded happily and said: "On Shengtian Star, the people in most areas have low intake of element 53 due to lack of it, which has caused various diseases, such as children's intellectual retardation, and when they grow up, they become  There are also idiots, big neck disease, and even reduced physical strength and labor force in adults"

    After Moseston's introduction, Shao Dongyang already knew that the illness mentioned by the other party was caused by iodine deficiency. The 53rd element was iodine. He thought to himself: "It's really impossible not to have a periodic table of elements around me except for the need for a palm  In addition to the periodic table of elements, we also need a chemical dictionary, and we also need several sets of mineral testing instruments"

    "Xiao Shao, do you have any way to solve the problem of low intake of element 53?"

    "This problem is not difficult for me Whatever is missing, make up for it!"

    Shao Dongyang smiled happily. He was happy that he could help Moseston and that he could make huge profits. He continued: "In the history of human development on earth, many people on earth have suffered from iodine deficiency. Iodine is  The No. 53 element mentioned by seniors Iodine deficiency can cause various diseases. As long as you eat more iodine-added salt, you can prevent it However, the treatment is very difficult.So annoying!  "

    Shao Dongyang paused and said, "Senior, I have iodine-added salt at home. I'll go get it and show it to you!"

    Running to the kitchen, Shao Dongyang found an unopened pack of salt. After trading it to Moses Dun, he suddenly had the idea of ??a prank, "Senior, you can open it and taste it. It tastes very good!"

    "Okay!" Moseston responded and "conjured up" a pair of scissors, cut a small opening, poured a few grains of salt into his hand, stuck out his tongue, nodded, and said, "This tastes like the saltiness of boiling sea water.  Same!"

    Shao Dongyang recalled deeply the positions of sodium and chlorine in the periodic table of chemical elements, and said: "Salt is a compound composed of elements No. 11 and No. 17. Salt is not only an important condiment, but also maintains the normal development of the human body.  An indispensable substance"

    "I know that the salt you are talking about is what humans on Shengtian Planet call sea salt. I have detected trace amounts of iodine in the salt you provided!"

    "The salt I provide you has iodide added to it. Long-term consumption of iodized salt is a good way to prevent and treat iodine deficiency diseases"

    When Shao Dongyang introduced iodized salt, he suddenly thought that the price of salt in ancient China was very high, much higher than the price of food. Of course, he also thought of the special characteristics of salt Salt is an inevitable consumable for ordinary people, and it plays an important role in the human body.  It plays an irreplaceable role in life functions. It can't be done without eating, it can't be done by eating too little (edema caused by eating too little), and it can't be done by eating too much. It can be said that as long as the population size remains unchanged, the annual demand for salt will not change.  However, all this is not the reason for the high price of salt The feudal government in ancient China used violence to control the production and sale of salt in the hands of the government, and competed with the people for profits through high salt taxes, which also caused the people to have a hard time  Piaotian Astronomy Station
