Chapter 294: A delicate wooden box with age
There is no need to transport the tourbillon to the main department, and the measurement experiment is carried out with professional instruments. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info The craftsmen intuitively concluded that this was the problem that had plagued them for two days.
Metal gravity is something that cannot be seen or touched for a long time.
Even with the advancement of technology, the Stafen Group still does not have the best equipment to detect it.
But the tourbillon was invented as early as 1795, exactly 221 years ago.
But between the invention of the tourbillon, one hundred and fifty years later.
How many clocks with tourbillon mechanisms have been made in the world?
Less than six hundred!
In one hundred and fifty years, fewer than 600 tourbillon watches have been made in the world.
With such a rare number of surviving birds, you can imagine how complex the production of tourbillons is, and how rare are people who can master the technology of making tourbillons?
The watchmakers of that era were different from the assembly line craftsmen who worked together today. They are masters through and through, with the ability to design and manufacture a watch on their own.
The master watchmakers challenged the manufacture of the tourbillon as a Mount of Our Lady. It is a top peak that requires a lifetime of pursuit and dedication, and the ability to comprehend demons.
Because in addition to the trouble of accuracy, the masters also have a clear concept and grasp of gravity, which affects the operation of precision parts.
There is no doubt that the man in front of him is not good-looking, but looks like an old peasant. It is a long-lost master who can manufacture tourbillons independently without the help of any modern high-precision machines.
If you can see the problem at a glance, you will naturally find a solution.
Vice President Knightley's face turned red, and he looked embarrassed that he wanted to ask for help, but he was embarrassed by his face, which almost made Xiao Jun on the side laugh.
"Oh~ Mr. President, what's wrong, are you not feeling well?"
"Hmm...... "Well......" Knightley became mute, muttering a mute that no one could understand.
If there was a crack in the ground, Knightley would have hidden his entire body in it, and by the way, he would fill the crack with earth.
Before, the blame was on Huaxia's side, but now in the blink of an eye, an unsightly engineer from Huaxia came, and he only glanced at it.
Just a glance, and then beat them many proud, and boasted of most of the day's craftsmen.
The more I blew before, the more embarrassed I am now.
Eagerness, adoration, shame, excitement, these emotions quickly appeared in the eyes of this group of whitebeard craftsmen looking at the delicate master.
This is the gap, where people point out the problem at a glance and tell them about it. But they broke their heads, and they couldn't think of a solution.
"Do you want to know the solution?" said with a smile to the delicate master, "Please, please, I'll help you solve it." ”
"Hah...... Haha~" Now it was Xiao Jun's turn to blush, with a tangled expression of forced laughter.
Knightley has been arrogant since he was a child, but that doesn't mean he has a bad head, so he took a different approach.
He began to pat the Delicate Master's ass, and promised that the Venerable Master Clever would give him a big gift to thank the Master Clever as long as he could help improve the hairspring on the huge tourbillon.
"No, no, no, whether we help or not, we have to thank Master Qiao. Realizing that he had said the wrong thing, Knightley quickly changed his tune.
Since Ye Qing explained in advance and let the master of dexterity solve the problem, he would naturally solve it. Seeing that the time was almost up, the master of dexterity told them the tools they needed to prepare.
It's incredibly simple!
Table, tongs, a blowtorch, two long tweezers.
The solution was to design a new winding mechanism, but the tools in front of them were simple and unimaginable to the craftsmen.
Even for a hundred years, when the masters were winding the tourbillon, they didn't have such a simple tool, right?
In the building of the Starffen Group, there is a set of winding tools with a history of 100 years.
In the era when there was no CNC automatic winding equipment, even with the help of tools, it was a very difficult process.
With blowtorches and tweezers?
More than 200 years ago, the great god who invented the tourbillon may have been able to do it.
All disbelief, and all worship, vanished as the master of delicacy sat down at the table.
The first hand of the delicate master made them change into a solemn look like watching miracles.
The balance spring in a tourbillon is a circle of blue steel alloy filament coiled at a specific angle. The master delicately removes the large hairspring of this cake box, starts at the very front, and heats it on a blowtorch to soften it.
The high-temperature softening temperature of this alloy material is 600 degrees, and only at this temperature will it ensure that it will not be affected by stress and rebound when changing shape.
It sounds simple, but it's processed on an intelligent thermostatic ceramic table.
Now the Master of Delicate uses only one blowtorch without any temperature indication to heat the hairspring and make it soft.
The delicate master uses long tweezers to grip one end of the hairspring and slowly sweep it through the blowtorch spraying a thin blue flame at a horizontal angle. A magical scene happened, the blue steel hairspring was completely stretched straight by the tweezers.
The gossamer was straightened by two meters, and it was as straight as a ruler. No one knows how he judged the temperature and how he grasped the dynamics.
The straightening work was only carried out by two meters, because it was too long and there was no room for the table.
The hairspring is reheated, and the master delicatesses the bending shape again with tweezers.
Whether it was Knightley or the craftsmen next to him, they were all turned into stakes, and not only breathing, but even their eyes were suffocated.
A round, but entirely labyrinthine grid. With the continuous processing of the delicate master's expression, the blue steel hairspring of this new winding method is also completely displayed in front of them.
Inside the circle is a hollow-shaped square, a square with two full layers. No one could have imagined how a master of dexterity could do this with a pair of long tweezers.
A new hairspring, a new sense of pleasing to the eye. From any angle, there is regularity and symmetry.
"Is his hand a machine?" someone shouted in disbelief.
Vice President Knightley was even more excited!
If......
If this hairspring solution is really possible, it will not only mean that their huge mechanical watch has been restored, but it will also mean that they will also gain a completely new yarn winding technology.
There is no doubt that all the parts, together with the new hairspring, have been restored to the dial of the mechanical watch.
This mechanical watch, which can break the Guinness record, is running again "click~click~".
Knightley, the vice president, called his father, the elder Knightley's office.
It was still nine o'clock in the morning on the Swiss side, and Knightley was silent for more than ten seconds before he said tremblingly: "Father, I have discovered a new tourbillon winding structure. ”
………………
Ten minutes later, Knightley stooped over to the Master of Dexterity, his eyes full of respect.
"Master, may I ask you what your current position is and how much is your salary, on behalf of the Starffin Group, I would like to give you the most ......"
"Are you joking, right?" Master Delicate looked at the countryman's eyes completely: "That Designer Xiao, you popularize it for him, we giant beast heavy industry." ”
Xiao Jun was very happy to take over this job, because he could hit Knightley in all directions again.
After some popularity, Knightley wept and found that he had really become a countryman, and that he was also a poor man with no house or land.
Unable to recruit him, Knightley naturally wants to fulfill his promise and thank the Master of Ingenuity with a great gift.
A craftsman carefully pulls out a delicate wooden box made of fine cedar wood from the constant temperature and humidity vault of the clubhouse on the top floor.
The wooden box has been around for some time, and for some reason, when Knightley saw this wooden box, he actually showed a reluctant expression.
The wooden box was opened, the delicate master did not move, and Xiao Jun on the side almost straightened his eyes.
Then Xiao Jun squeezed his eyes wildly at the delicate master!(To be continued.) )
