As soon as the glass melt came out, everyone began to get busy.

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

One is to directly pull away the raw material that has been processed into large chunks for annealing to form a rough embryo, which is then cut as needed and then remelted into a liquid for fine processing. The other is to inject the melt directly into the mold and process it into various shapes through automatic machining. The other is completely artificially crafted and directly blown into various shapes of handicrafts.

"The wealth we have created is blown out of our mouths." Master Li Deyi said to Fan Wuxian with a smile.

Before Fan Wuxian could reminisce, he saw Li Deyi holding on to his tools, taking a lump of molten glass from the molten liquid, and then using a nickel-chromium blowpipe to blow it in the mold, and the soft molten glass gradually took shape.

Master Li couldn't spare time, so an apprentice next to him took on the task of explaining, "Transform the molten glass into a solid product with a fixed shape, which we generally refer to as molding. This process must control the glass melt within a certain temperature range, which is actually a cooling process, and the glass first changes from a viscous state to a plastic state, and then to a brittle solid state. ”

While speaking, Master Li blew out the embryo of a vase, and a master next to him picked up scissors, tweezers, and pliers, and began to pick up a small tip from a ball of glass melt, and quickly trimmed it.

"Take it down and do it for annealing." After Master Li was done, he instructed an apprentice.

Fan Wuxian looked a little moved, and Master Li saw it, so he handed him the alloy pipe, gave him a lump of raw materials, and then instructed him to try it too.

Fan Wuxian learned to blow up, but it was always difficult to control the force, and after trying a few times, the shape obtained was not satisfactory, but it was seen that people had begun to use molds to suppress products, and one was very neat.

"It's nice to be able to blow glass for the first time." Li De took a look at Fan Wuxie's work, and praised it with a smile, "Actually, when we were apprentices, we were far worse than you, and we always let the master beat a few times to master the trick." It's amazing that you can blow like this in a matter of minutes! ”

Fan Wuxi looked at a somewhat deformed vase that he blew out, scratched his head and asked, "Should I take it out and cool it?" I'll be able to take it home later! I guess my parents will be more interested when they see it! ”

"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 Wuxian was curious.

Master Li explains, "Generally speaking, glass is subjected to very intense temperature changes and shape changes during overforming, and the thermal stress left by this change in the glass will reduce the strength and thermal stability of the glass products. If you take the product to cool directly, it is very likely that the glass product will break by itself during the cooling process, or during the subsequent storage, transportation and use, which is what we commonly call cold explosion. To solve this problem, glass products must be annealed after forming. In fact, it is to keep warm within a certain temperature range, or slowly cool down for a period of time, so that the thermal stress in the glass can be eliminated or reduced to an acceptable level. If you don't anneal, it's a question of whether you can take this vase home, let alone keep it. ”

"I see!" Fan Wuxian looked like he had been taught, and handed the vase to an apprentice next to him, "Excuse me, help me take it and unfire it!" ”

Everyone's faces suddenly smiled, in fact, the glass factory was able to restart, and the most beneficial thing was naturally the more than 1,000 workers and their families, so they were grateful to Fan Heng and Fan Wuxi, father and son.

Fan Wuxi watched the workers use all kinds of machinery and equipment and all kinds of molds to process the finished products, and then transported these finished products that emitted heat out for annealing, and suddenly there was a moment of stagnation in his mind, and for some reason, he thought of Ouyang Xiaowei again.

Doesn't she also like to see this shiny thing the most?

"Xiao Fan, what do you want?" Master Li Deyi patted him on the shoulder and asked.

"Uh-" Fan Wuxian paused for a moment and said to Li Deyi very seriously, "Master Li, can you help me make something?" I guess it's going to be blown kind. ”

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

Alas, it's really hard to say! Fan Wuxian Suo said to Li Deyi, "Why don't I draw you a sketch!" ”

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

As soon as Li De glanced at the side, he saw that Fan Wuxi had drawn an elongated gourd shape on the paper, but the two sides were equal size, and the part connected in the middle was very slender, like a bee's waist.

"It doesn't need to be big, you can just put it in your hand and play with it." Fan Wuxi took the sketch and handed it to Li Deyi, and then emphasized it.

"This kind of thing is more technically tested, and the smaller it is, the harder it is to get!" Li Deyi immediately saw the mystery, directly took a ball of liquid glass, and then began to blow it.

Fan Wuxian watched from the side, feeling that Master Li had blown out the things he imagined like magic, and then personally took them away to do annealing and post-processing.

Feeling a little hot in the workshop, Fan Wuxian walked out, the ribbon-cutting ceremony over there was basically over, the leaders were visiting the new plant under the leadership of the staff in the factory, Fan Wuxian suddenly saw that Ouyang Xiaowei was also accompanying the leaders to visit with Wu Zhi Xiaoji.

Fan Wuxi quietly looked at Ouyang Xiaowei in the distance, looking at her beautiful face, her long hair shining slightly in the sun, and her gentle smile like a spring breeze, a little dazed.

As if sensing Fan Wuxian's gaze, Ouyang Xiaowei turned her head over, and after seeing that it was Fan Wuxian, she immediately smiled and frowned slightly.

Fan Wuxi smiled bitterly and shook her head, alas, it seems that her anger has not disappeared!

After a while, the apprentice of the old master Li Deyi came over again, holding a brocade box in his hand, and handed it to Fan Wuxian before saying, "This is what my master just made, you take it carefully, the vase you made yourself has to deal with the surface again, I will personally send it to your house in a few days!" ”

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

"It's just a small thing, and it doesn't have to be so troublesome." Li Deyi's apprentice smiled and said goodbye and went back.

Fan Wuxian opened the box and saw that it was exactly the thing 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, and he actually made it for him properly, and even saved the little DIY time he expected.

Fan Wuxi sighed, shifted his gaze back to Ouyang Xiaowei's body, and after looking at it for two minutes, he walked towards her with extremely firm steps, all the way to her face.

Ouyang Xiaowei was mixed in the crowd, and suddenly saw Fan Wuxi blocking her way, and suddenly she was a little inexplicable, she didn't expect Fan Wuxi to pick this time to block herself, so she raised her head silently and looked at Fan Wuxi with a questioning look.

"Why are you standing in my way?" Seeing that Fan Wuxian didn't let go at all, Ouyang Xiaowei kicked the small pebble on the ground with the tip of her shoe, and couldn't help but ask with some annoyance.

"That's because we're destined to follow the same path, and I can't let you go alone." Fan Wu is sick and also has quick wisdom, as if his block makes sense.

"Boring!" Ouyang Xiaowei rolled her eyelids and was about to get around.

Fan Wuxian still stood in her way.

"Why are you standing in my way? You're annoying! Ouyang Xiaowei couldn't wait to rush over and kick Fan Wuxi's feet to relieve her anger, but in front of the public, her positive lady image still had to be maintained.

"That's because the only way out for you is to stay with me." Fan Wuxi's face is getting thicker and thicker, and when he talks about this kind of sour words, he doesn't even blush.

"Please, get out of the way, okay?" Ouyang Xiaowei saw that everyone had walked to the front, and there were only the two of them left, so she gently kicked Fan Wuxian with her foot, and then said in a helpless tone, "We are two different types of people, I only want the life of ordinary people, and you are destined to be lonely, the meeting between the two of us is just a wrong intersection, and there will be no result." ”

It was the first time Fan Wuxian heard Ouyang Xiaowei say such words, and his mood was also a little heavy, he took out the brocade box from behind him and handed it to Ouyang Xiaowei.

After Ouyang Xiaowei opened it, she saw a small thing shining with a bright crystal brilliance in the sun, and she didn't understand why Fan Wuxi would suddenly give herself this thing?

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

Ouyang Xiaowei involuntarily took the small crystal hourglass, and looked at Fan Wuxian with a serious face in a daze, as if she had lost something in her heart.
