The next morning.

Qin Huai relied on the contact information given by the little old man to find the small workshop built by Mr. Yan in the suburbs of Guanghan.

The small workshop is a small suburban courtyard covering an area of 200 square meters, and within the high courtyard wall, a leafy soaphorn tree shades half of the sky.

Walking in the courtyard, even the cool breeze is green.

There are no cicadas at this time, and if it is summer, the courtyard must be very noisy.

"Please come in. ”

Mr. Yan opened the gate of the courtyard, and the courtyard made a windy shed with building materials on all sides, and there were disorganized copper materials stacked under the shed.

The ventilation area of the shed is equipped with modern melting and casting equipment.

The device can freely adjust the temperature to an accuracy of 0.1 degrees, which is a real addition to the craftsman. Not only does it reduce the uncontrollable factors in the forging process, but it can even reduce the content of an element in the molten slurry to zero percent by adjusting the temperature.

It is said that there were experienced craftsmen in ancient times who could visually measure temperature changes with great accuracy.

However, this ability requires talent after all, and if there is a machine to assist, it can save worry and effort, so why not?

After all, Confucius said a long time ago: If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools.

……

"Aren't these devices cheap?"

Qin Huai looked at the equipment in front of him and asked with admiration.

Mr. Yan participated in the excavation of the Sanxingdui site in 1986 when he was 28 years old, and now he is 60 years old.

At the age of sixty, he can continue to stick to a craft, and he has to fight with the melon skins that make small earthen cannons on the shore of Xuanwu Lake.

It's really the twilight of a martyr, full of strength, and the old man is in waiting, and his ambition is thousands of miles.

"Money is not an issue. As long as I like it, I will buy it if I am thrifty.

What's more, as the old saying goes: Craftsmen don't die of hunger in a famine year. The more advanced the skill, the more famous it will be, and the more you will not worry about eating and drinking.

I was able to make good quality bronzes in the 90s, and collectors from the Bay Area and Hong Kong came to buy them. ”

The old gentleman patted his chest.

Qin Huai nodded, the old gentleman was not boasting, but really capable.

"Take a look in the living room. ”

The old gentleman led Qin Huai to the living room.

In addition to a set of hardwood tables and chairs, the living room is full of cabinets.

On the cabinet pavilion, there are Ding, Gui, Jue, Yao, Wei, Copper Ox, Copper Pig, Bronze Horse, Bronze Crane, Small Bronze Sacred Tree, and Small Sanxingdui Mask......

The surface of the golden bronze, the cloud pattern, the thunder pattern, the beast face pattern, the dragon pattern, the gluttonous pattern, and the kui dragon pattern are used very skillfully, the lines are round and delicate, but it looks simple and domineering, and Qin Huai can see that it is bright and bright, and even can't help but give birth to a lingering and pleasing mood.

"It's suffocatingly pretty. ”

Shang Ya exclaimed in a low voice, her mouth opened slightly, and every piece of bronze placed on the cabinet was so brilliant, like a Jinluan Hall made of bronze, with its own flashing golden light.

"Good craftsmanship!"

Qin Huai couldn't help but sigh.

Seeing that Qin Huai and Shang Ya were both surprised, Old Man Yan held his head high, and the wrinkles in the corners of his eyes were full of pride.

"Huh...... Fish wash?"

Qin Huai's gaze paused, and he caught a glimpse of an interesting bronze object on the cabinet pavilion.

It is a round basin that resembles a modern washbasin.

There are two ears on the left and right sides of the basin. The bottom of the basin is carved with two long dragons.

The shape of the long dragon is vivid, and the scale texture is delicate and delicate, which can be described as lifelike.

However, the most peculiar thing about it is not these patterns, but the extremely advanced knowledge of advanced physics contained in its body!

"Old gentleman, can you let the juniors play with this fish wash?"

"Hmm...... Okay, let's play with you, the water tank is outside. ”

The old gentleman waved his hand generously.

"Play?"

Shang Yabai was puzzled, a bronze basin that could not be seen at all was placed in the middle of bronzes such as Ding, Wei, Gui, Jue, Yao, and Bronze Ox, which was simply mediocre.

But Qin Huai was so excited......

Is it necessary?

"Don't underestimate it. Watch me show you the subtleties of it. ”

Qin Huai walked out of the living room with Yushu with a mysterious face, bent down to scoop out two scoops of water from the water tank, poured them into the bronze basin, and then rolled up his cuffs, put his slender fingers together, and put his palms against Yuwash's ears.

The preparations are done.

Qin Huai looked up at Shang Ya with a confident expression: "I can make this basin of water boil in ten seconds!"

Shang Ya glanced at her, and her pretty face was full of her sister's disbelief at all.

The corners of Qin Huai's lips raised slightly, and his palms gently rubbed Yuxi's ears,

"Buzz. ”

The bronze basin suddenly buzzed, and then, the waves on the water surface were surging, and it was really boiling!

Shang Ya's eyes widened slowly, and she looked at Qin Huai in astonishment.

What's the situation?

Friction can generate electricity, but friction won't be effective so quickly.

It's only been ten seconds, and a full basin of water is boiling!

Seeing Shang Ya, he was surprised.

Qin Huai didn't explain, but accelerated the friction speed of his palm.

As a result, the entire bronze basin was like a water monster churning, and the crystal water droplets like gems splashed in the air.

It's like the surface of the water stirred in an earthquake.

"Wow......"

Shang Ya observed very carefully around her expression, but she didn't understand the principle.

Mr. Yan put his hands behind his back and watched with interest.

He knew a little more about Qin Huai.

Notice.

Even scholars who specialize in bronze may not be able to recognize Yushu at the first time!

Qin Huai, a young man, has a little ink in his stomach.

It's no wonder that the insightful theory of 'giant worship' can be told.

"Is the water really boiling?

Seeing that Shang Ya's curiosity was aroused, Qin Huai stopped moving.

"In fact, it is the principle of resonance in physics, when you rub your hands against the ears of a fish, you can make the copper basin produce self-excited oscillations, which propagate on the surface of the water and superimpose on each other. When the vibrational energy is superimposed to a certain extent, a column of water can be ejected. ”

Hearing this, Shang Ya, whose pretty face was full of curiosity, squeezed Qin Huai away, imitated Qin Huai's movements, and rubbed Yu's ears, just for a moment, the water surface was tumbling and boiling.

If it is burned, it is more like a vicious beast calling for wind and rain in a basin.

"It's amazing, it's not that the water is boiling, it's that the water is shaken. ”

Shang Ya found the clue.

"Yes, the physics involved in fish washing is vibrations and fluctuations.

This kind of physical principle was discovered by the ancient craftsmen of the Chinese family as early as the Han Dynasty.

At that time, craftsmen designed the dragon's mouth at the place where the water jet gushes, creating the effect of a dragon fountain. ”

Qin Huai stood up.

Without a detailed understanding of vibrations and fluctuations, it would not have been possible for the craftsmen to perfectly design the dragon's mouth at the water jet.

"Of course, that's not the most magical part of fish washing.

The most amazing fish wash in the Suzhou City Museum.

In that museum, there is a 'Yin Yang Fish Washbasin'.

The basin has two ears, and the bottom of the basin is painted with four fish, and four clear parabolas of the river diagram of the I Ching are engraved between the fish. As long as you add half of the water to the basin, and then gently rub your ears with your hands, the basin will be rolling in waves in an instant, surging, and then gushing out four fountains about two feet high, and the sound of reciting the six hexagrams in the I Ching.

Physicists in the United States and Dongying have repeatedly tested with various modern scientific instruments, trying to find out the structural principles of heat conduction, sensing, pushing, spraying and pronunciation in the Yin-Yang fish basin, but have found nothing.

In October 1986, the United States imitated a 'Yin Yang Fish Wash Basin', although the appearance is similar, but it cannot spray water, and the pronunciation effect is not good.

Until now, no scientist has been able to unravel the mystery of the yin-yang fish basin. It became an unsolved mystery of the world. ”

Qin Huai slowly said that a yin and yang fish washing basin can make it difficult for countless modern scientists, and they have to pass, the ancients really know how to play.

One of the most mysterious is that the ancient Chinese people actually organically combined yin and yang, I Ching and the vibrations and fluctuations of physics.

This is the scariest thing.

'Awesome. ‘

Shang Ya's eyes are full of little stars, as if pink bubbles are bubbling around her, which is worthy of a humanoid self-propelled library, and popular science knowledge is at your fingertips!

Shang Ya smiled at her aunt.

"The young man is really nice and knowledgeable. ”

Mr. Yan praised it, and Scrooge generally washed and put away the fish.

……

……

"Little young man, do you want me to make you a couple's copper longevity lock? or a miniature version of the Sanxingdui bronze head, you take home a layer of golden mask, it is a luxury souvenir." ”

Mr. Yan suggested that he had not forgotten the promise he had made.

Qin Huai glanced at Shang Ya, meaning that everything was based on Shang Ya's opinion.

"To reduce the Sanxingdui bronze avatar. Thank you, Grandpa. ”

Shang Ya frowned and thought for dozens of seconds. So replied.

Since you come to Sanxingdui, of course, you have to bring souvenirs with Sanxingdui style! Compared with the Sanxingdui bronze head, the longevity lock is obviously more popular.

"That's where I started building for both. If you are bored, you can take a look at my work first and wait a while. ”

Qin Huai and Shang Ya smiled and nodded, such a peculiar souvenir, you can wait for an afternoon.

So, the two shuttled between the cabinets side by side, slowly admiring the works and treasures of the little old man.

"The old gentleman's craftsmanship is really amazing, can little brother Qin Huai make bronzes?"

Shang Ya looked up at Qin Huai, Qin Huai has shown a great interest in bronzes these days, wouldn't he also shape bronzes?

Shang Ya's question made Qin Huai stunned for a moment, his consciousness quietly sank into his mind, and he quietly received the reward for completing the last task - [Bronze Sculpture Technique].

After collection.

Qin Huai, who was cool in his mind, replied gently: "I understand a little, I understand a little." ”
