Chapter 44 Wealth Is Blown Out, only You Are My only One

As soon as the molten glass came out, everyone started to get busy.

First of all, the processing is different. The raw materials are divided into three processing methods.

One is to directly pull away the raw materials that have been processed into large pieces for annealing treatment to form rough embryos, which will be cut according to needs, and then re-melted into liquid for fine processing. The other is to directly inject the melt into the mold and process it into finished products of various shapes through automatic machinery. There is also a kind of handicrafts that are directly blown into various shapes by manual operation.

"The wealth we have created is all blown out with our mouths." Master Li De said to Fan Wubing with a smile.

Before Fan Wubing could recall it, he saw Li Deyi manipulating the tool, taking a ball of glass melt from the melt, and then using a nickel-chromium alloy blowpipe to turn it in the mold and blow it up. The glass melt gradually takes shape.

Master Li couldn’t spare any time, so an apprentice next to him took on the task of explaining, “Transforming molten glass into solid products with a fixed shape, we generally call it forming for short. This process must transform the glass into a solid product with a fixed shape. The melt must be controlled within a certain temperature range, which is actually a cooling process, and the glass first changes from a viscous liquid state to a plastic state, and then turns into a brittle solid state."

While speaking, Master Li blew out the embryo of a vase, and a master next to him picked up a small point from a ball of molten glass with scissors, tweezers, and pliers, and quickly trimmed it , The progress of the two people cooperated very well. When the various parts were combined together, the crystal glass vase was basically formed.

"Take it down and do annealing." Master Li instructed an apprentice after finishing his work.

Fan Wubing was a little moved when he saw it. Master Li saw it, and handed him the alloy pipe, and gave him a ball of raw materials, and instructed him to try it too.

Fan Wubing learned how to blow it. However, it is not always easy to control the strength. After trying several times, the shape obtained is not satisfactory. It seems that others have already started to press the products with molds, and it is very neat to press one by one.

"It's pretty good to be able to blow glass like this for the first time." Li De took a look at Fan Wubing's works. He smiled and praised, "Actually, when we were apprentices, we were far behind you. We always had to let the master beat it a few times before we mastered the trick. It's really rare that you can blow like this in a few minutes!"

Fan Wubing looked at a deformed vase he had blown out, scratched his head and asked, "Should I take it out to cool it? I can take it home later! My parents probably saw it. , will be more interested!"

"You'd better not do that. The annealing process is indispensable!" Master Li shook his head and said.

"Why? Isn't it easier to cool down in a cool place?" Fan Wubing was curious.

Master Li explained, "Generally speaking, glass undergoes very drastic temperature changes and shape changes during the forming process, and the thermal stress left by this change in the glass will reduce the strength and thermal stability of glass products. If you take the product to cool directly, it is very likely that the glass product will break during the cooling process, or during the subsequent storage, transportation and use. This is what we commonly call cold explosion. In order to solve this problem, the glass product is Annealing must be carried out after forming. In fact, it means keeping warm within a certain temperature range, or slowly cooling down for a period of time, so that the thermal stress in the glass can be eliminated or reduced to an acceptable level. If your vase is not annealed If it’s not, it’s a question of whether it can be taken home, let alone preserved.”

"So that's how it is!" Fan Wubing looked educated, and handed the vase to an apprentice next to him, "Excuse me, please take it for me to cool down!"

Everyone's faces suddenly smiled. In fact, the glass factory can resume work, and the workers and their families benefit the most. Therefore, I am grateful to Fan Heng and Fan Wubing, father and son.

Fan Wubing watched the workers process various finished products with various machines and equipment and various molds, and then transported these heat-dissipating finished products out for annealing. Suddenly, his mind froze for a moment. , Thinking of Ouyang Xiaowei again.

Doesn't she also like to look at such shiny things? "Xiao Fan, what are you thinking about?" Master Li Deyi patted him on the shoulder and asked.

"Uh—" Fan Wubing paused, and said to Li Deyi seriously. "Master Li, can you make something for me? I guess it needs to be blown."

Li De said with all his heart that this is not simple? So he asked, "What does it look like? Just tell me!"

Oh, it's really hard to say! Fan Wubing simply said to Li Deyi, "Why don't I draw a sketch for you!"

As he spoke, he took out a pen and paper. Started to draw.

Li Deyi glanced from the side. I saw Fan Wubing draw an elongated gourd shape on the paper, but the two sides were equal in size. The connecting part in the middle is actually very slender, like a wasp's waist.

"It doesn't need to be very big, as long as you can hold it in your hand and play with it." Fan Wubing handed the sketch to Li Deyi, and then emphasized.

"This kind of thing is a test of technology, the smaller it is, the more difficult it is!" Li Deyi immediately saw the mystery, took a ball of glass liquid, and then started blowing.

Fan Wubing watched from the side, and felt that Master Li had blown out the things he had imagined like magic, and then took them away for annealing and post-processing.

Feeling a bit hot in the workshop, Fan Wubing went out. The ribbon-cutting ceremony over there was basically over. The leaders were visiting the new factory building under the guidance of the factory staff. Fan Wubing suddenly saw that Ouyang Xiao Wei also followed Wuzhi Xiaoji and the others to accompany the leaders to visit.

Fan Wubing quietly looked at Ouyang Xiaowei in the distance, looking at her pretty face, her long hair slightly shining in the sun, and her calm smile like a spring breeze, she was a little dazed.

As if sensing Fan Wubing's gaze, Ouyang Xiaowei turned her head around, and when she saw that it was Fan Wubing, she immediately withdrew her smile and frowned slightly to avoid it.

Fan Wubing shook his head with a wry smile. Alas, it seems that her anger has not dissipated!

After a while, the apprentice of master Li Deyi ran over again, holding a brocade box in his hand, handed it to Fan Wubing, and said, "This is what my master just made. Be careful Take it, you have to deal with the surface of the vase you made yourself, I will deliver it to your home in a few days!"

"It's too troublesome. I'll treat you to dinner another day." Fan Wubing expressed his gratitude very politely.

"It's just a small matter, don't worry about it." Li Deyi's apprentice said goodbye and went back with a smile.

Fan Wubing opened the box and saw that it was exactly what he wanted. Originally, he just hoped that Master Li could blow out a semi-finished product for him. Who knew that the master was a master after all, so it was done properly for him, saving even a little bit of time that he had expected.

Fan Wubing sighed, and turned his gaze back to Ouyang Xiaowei. After watching for two minutes, he walked towards her with unusually firm steps. All the way to her.

Ouyang Xiaowei mixed in the crowd, and suddenly saw Fan Wubing blocking her way, she was a little confused, she never thought that Fan Wubing would block her at this time, so she raised her head silently, He looked at Fan Wubing with questioning eyes.

"Why are you blocking my way?" Seeing that Fan Wubing didn't move out of the way at all, Ouyang Xiaowei kicked a pebble on the ground with the tip of her shoe, and couldn't help asking angrily.

"That's because we are destined to go the same way. Naturally, I can't let you go alone." Fan Wu was quick-witted even when he was ill, and he said it as if his own way made sense.

"Boring!" Ouyang Xiaowei rolled her eyelids. It is necessary to bypass.

Fan Wubing still firmly blocked her way.

"Why are you blocking my way again? You're annoying!" Ouyang Xiaowei wished she could rush over and kick Fan Wubing's feet to relieve her anger, but she still had to maintain her positive ladylike image in front of the public.

"That's because your only way out is to stay with me." Fan Wubing's face became thicker and thicker, and when he said such sour words, he didn't even blush at all.

"Please get out of the way, okay?" Ouyang Xiaowei saw that everyone had gone to the front, and there were only two of them left here, so she kicked Fan Wubing lightly with her foot, and then used another With a helpless tone, he said, "We are two different types of people. I only want the ordinary life of ordinary people, and you are destined not to be lonely. The meeting of the two of us is just a wrong intersection, and there will be no harm. result."

It was the first time for Fan Wubing to hear Ouyang Xiaowei say such words. The mood is also a little heavy. He took out the brocade box from behind and handed it to Ouyang Xiaowei.

After Ouyang Xiaowei opened it. I just saw the little thing shining with crystal brilliance in the sun, I don't understand why Fan Wubing would suddenly give him this thing?

Fan Wubing picked up the small crystal hourglass that had just been completed, turned it over suddenly, and the fine floating sand slanted down through the small hole in the middle, and then calmly looked into Ouyang Xiaowei's eyes, saying every word He said, "The so-called wealth is just like this crystal hourglass, which is blown out! But to me, you are like the time represented by this hourglass, which is unique and eternal!"

Ouyang Xiaowei involuntarily took the small crystal hourglass, stared blankly at Fan Wubing with a serious face, and seemed to have lost something in her heart.
