Chapter 005 Huachangdi Quality Inspection Station
Early the next morning, Song Tao and two roommates got up early, washed their faces and brushed their teeth in the water room, and prepared to set off together.
There are four people in their dormitory: Song Tao, Chen Yunzhe, Hou Yao and Jiang Yilei.
Among them, Jiang Yilei was admitted to the postgraduate student of our school with a weighted score of tenth in his major, so he did not have to participate in this internship and was still sleeping in bed.
Hou Yao yawned while brushing his teeth: "Taozi, you said you are the second in the department. If you don't go to graduate school honestly, what are the consequences for going to the quality inspection station with us?"
Taozi was the nickname they gave to Song Tao when they were freshman year. Song Tao can't remember how this nickname came about, as if it was because the word Tao in his name can be homophonic to Tao.
Song Tao began to firmly reject the strange nickname, but the more Song Tao opposed it, the more happy the three of them called each other, and in the end he had to claim the title.
Chen Yunzhe was wearing hair spray on the side: "The weirdest thing is that Li Minghao, the number one in the department, doesn't even study for graduate school and plans to be an appraiser at the school quality inspection station. I don't know if you two have discussed it and want to make some big news?"
Hou Yao smiled and joked: "Taozi, you have never failed Li Minghao in school. If you can't even play with him when you arrive at the quality inspection station, aren't you just a thousand-year-old second-year-old?"
"You old monkey!" Song Tao was so upset by him that he kicked him in the butt: "I think you are like a thousand-year-old dick, get out!"
Hou Yao is usually best at sports. He easily avoided the kick when he twisted his waist, picked up his teeth and returned to the dormitory with a laugh.
Chen Yunzhe, who was still doing a hairstyle, became serious: "But Taozi, to be honest, even if we undergraduates like us learn well, they can only start now when they arrive at the quality inspection station."
"Unless you are like Li Minghao, who has good grades and your uncle is also a school professor who serves as the deputy director of the quality inspection station. You can only become famous if you have both ability and connections."
Song Tao was silent and did not answer Chen Yunzhe.
He is not unaware of this principle, but he has his own plans. What's more, he has now opened the Stone God system. Staying in school to learn theoretical knowledge is a waste of time. It is better to gain some practical experience at the quality inspection station.
After washing up, the three of them picked up their schoolbags and rushed to the gathering place. They saw that there were already two buses waiting for the students.
There are 300 people in the Department of Gemology, Huachang Dida, and about 100 people choose to intern at the quality inspection station.
After Song Tao and the other two got into the car, they saw a man with a high and thick lenses sitting in the center of the last row. He was the first major in the Gemology Department: Li Minghao.
At this time, more than a dozen classmates were chatting with him. Although Li Minghao answered in unison, the people around him were still talking enthusiastically.
This is also normal. Li Minghao has the best grades, and his uncle is the deputy stationmaster of the school’s quality inspection station, so many people want to have a good relationship with him.
Song Tao once scoffed at similar situations. At that time, his father taught him: "This is not called a philanthropy, it is called a reasonable way to establish interpersonal relationships."
However, he replied casually without thinking: "This is called licking dogs, and you have nothing to do until you lick it."
The result is conceivable: he was scolded by his father.
When Song Tao grows up, he thinks about it. What his father said is not without reason. Knowing how to manage interpersonal relationships is an excellent ability, but his personality is really unwilling to do it deliberately, and he is more accustomed to making friends with nature.
Song Tao, Hou Yao and Chen Yunzhe got into the car and found a row of seats to sit down. After the bus started, someone suddenly patted his shoulder.
Song Tao quickly turned around and saw a girl wearing big black-framed glasses. Before he could ask, the girl hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person!"
After a while, two girls whispered from the back seat. Although the sound was very small, you could still vaguely hear some content after listening carefully.
"It's him, the thousand-year-old second in our department is quite handsome. Although his grades are a little worse, he looks much better than Li Minghao..."
Song Tao smiled awkwardly in the front seat, feeling depressed: "Aren't the protagonists who get plug-in systems in the novel? Why am I ridiculed like a villain supporting role?"
In fact, the weighted scores of Li Minghao and Song Tao are very different, 95.5 and 94.1 respectively, both far exceeding the third place 87.2 points. However, there are too many outstanding people in the world, and people often can only remember who is the first place.
As for the second place, I have never deserved a name.
But from now on, this may not be the case. Thinking of this, Song Tao subconsciously touched the steel bracelet on his right wrist.
After about half an hour's drive, everyone arrived at the quality inspection station. Although the students in the department came here for the first time to intern, they had visited the quality inspection station before, so they did not feel too fresh about it.
The full name of the school's quality supervision station is: Huachang University of Geosciences Jewelry and Jade Quality Inspection Center, which is occasionally called an appraisal center. It covers a large and large building, with more than 20 buildings of all sizes and is known as one of the three major jewelry and jade appraisal centers in the country.
It is extremely difficult to become a formal jewelry appraiser here. It is great that more than 100 people who come to the internship can stay ten of them.
A group of people led the team leader to a large lecture hall, and saw that several directors of the quality inspection station had already sat down, and the interns quickly sat down in a proper manner.
For a long time to come, it was naturally the scenes of these old directors.
Song Tao felt drowsy after listening for more than an hour until the host announced: "Next, please ask Dr. Shi Zhengping to emphasize the precautions for everyone."
Everyone became more energetic.
Because generally speaking, big people say polite words, while small people say the key specific matters.
Sure enough, Dr. Shi Zhengping came up and got straight to the topic: "I am Shi Zhengping, the head of the Microscopy Department of the Microscopy Department, and I am also one of the main leaders of your interns."
"The department I am in is mainly responsible for the identification of gem inclusions. To put it bluntly, the inclusions are the impurities inside the gem. Although they may be as small as the naked eye, we can use them to judge the type, authenticity, origin and other information of the gem."
"So before explaining the precautions for the internship to you, I prepared ten questions about inclusions. Those who answered the most tests this time can add points to the internship score."
Song Tao immediately became energetic: This is a coincidence!
He just received a professor-level inclusion recognition gift package last night. As a result, the first test of the internship was to identify inclusions. So wouldn’t this test be easy for him?
Although this is a test on his implementation, his real purpose is to let these interns see the strong and powerful nature of the world, kill them, and then take the opportunity to make a serious statement.
To avoid these interns being too ambitious, always not doing basic work honestly, and clamoring to join high-tech departments.
The difficulty of identifying the ten gem inclusions selected by Shi Zhengping went from simple to deep, and it was difficult for even doctoral students to recognize the last two or three. In his estimate, it was impossible for undergraduates to last until after question 4.
He turned on the big screen and a photo was projected on it. The background of the photo was red, with hundreds of intertwined white silk objects on it, which all looked a little blurry.
"The first question: This is a photo of an inclusion obtained by a ruby in the dark domain, 20 times enlargement. Who can recognize what inclusion this is? What specific information about this ruby can you get through it?"
Chen Yunzhe's eyes lit up. He happened to have reviewed this last night, so he quickly answered the first time: "This is a needle-shaped rutile inclusion!"
However, before Chen Yunzhe could be happy for his quick answer, Li Minghao, who was sitting in the front row of the conference hall, spoke: "No, to be precise, this is rutile with signs of melting."
"So many needle-shaped rutiles prove that this ruby is likely to be produced in Myanmar, and the gem itself has been heat treated, which has led to signs of melting of the rutile with a lower melting point in the crystal."
Shi Zhengping nodded with satisfaction: "What the second intern said is more accurate, and it is correct."
It is not surprising that someone can answer correctly. The first three questions are appetizers. If no one knows this kind of question in Huachang Dida University, it would be too embarrassing.
Hou Yao sighed in a low voice: "It's amazing, kill me!"
In less than five minutes, Li Minghao answered all the first three questions by himself, and Hou Yao also went from killing one to kill three. These inclusions are not difficult for undergraduates, which shows that Li Minghao's mastery of professional knowledge is indeed far beyond ordinary people.
During this process, Song Tao remained silent, of course not because he didn't know how to do so. For him who had already received the inclusion recognition package, these problems were simply pediatrics.
However, for some reason, he had no desire to answer. The feeling was like asking a college senior mathematics teacher to do addition and subtraction within ten, which was completely insulting the IQ.
It is now the fourth problem. A photo of the inclusion inside the peridot is displayed on the large screen. The problem is to judge the origin of the peridot through the inclusion photo.
Li Minghao hesitated for a moment and said slowly: "The characteristics are like peridot produced by Sondemo, Norway."
Shi Zhengping frowned this time and denied his answer for the first time: "No, does anyone have a different opinion?"
There was a silence in the conference hall.
When Song Tao saw that no one answered for a long time, he spoke: "The characteristic inclusions of the peridot in the Sondermo mining area in Norway are indeed similar to this photo, but I think the extremely fine needle-like inclusions arranged at the vertical axis of Norway are still very different from the cross-striated inclusions in front of him."
Shi Zhengping smiled: "Then where do you think it may be produced?"
Song Tao answered seriously: "I think the origin of this peridot is outer space."
