Ran Zhenjun repeated the sentence: "I only understand metallurgy. ”

"Why don't you just say you don't know?" Tang Yi handed him a cigarette, but Ran Zhenjun blocked it with a "no".

Tang Yi took a puff of his cigarette, "Can you precisely control the depth of the cut and cut through this layer of things, but not damage the box?" ”

Ran Zhenjun doesn't understand antiques, but he can basically understand that although it is a Ming Dynasty iron-nickel alloy box, it has no artistic value. This young man is like this, probably because of the contents of the box.

"This is definitely not a problem, even if the iron on the lid is damaged, it will not hurt the contents of the box." Ran Zhenjun lowered his head, he was pondering how much money to charge.

However, Tang Yi was not satisfied with this answer, because he said that he would not damage the box, because he was afraid that once the box was damaged, there would be a mechanism inside, which would destroy the contents of the box, and it might be risky to cut a little iron. At that time, the mechanism box of Tieli wood, with the lid of Chongzhen's copper incense burner, had a mechanism.

"I mean, the iron on the lid isn't damaged at all." Tang Yi explained that he didn't say anything about the "organ", mainly because he felt that Ran Zhenjun was a little pedantic and laborious.

"I think you look like an old man, even though you look like you're twenty years old." Although Ran Zhenjun is pedantic, his IQ is not low, "Are you afraid that this is a trap box?" ”

"You know the trap box, too?" Tang Yi flicked the cigarette ash.

"There are more ancient machine boxes, especially iron boxes and copper boxes, you tell me, what is in this box?" As soon as Ran Zhenjun finished speaking, the phone rang. He picked it up, and Tang Yi listened to it, like a custom copper tire business.

"Copper enamel?" Tang Yi didn't answer his question after he hung up the phone, but asked, "Aren't you an iron company?" Copper, too? ”

"It's much the same, copper is more malleable and simpler." Ran Zhenjun said, "There are many people who make copper tires for porcelain, and there are also many people who make copper tire enamel. ”

Tang Yi suddenly took out the box again, "I know what's in this gap..."

Ran Zhenjun's big eyes turned twice, and he also showed an expression of sudden realization, "You mean enamel?" ”

Enamel is enamel. The term cloisonné is more elegant, referring specifically to copper cloisonné enamelware. This thing itself is not metal, but it can be coated on the surface of metal, and after firing, it forms a layer of enamel, which is very strong. One more thing, enamel color and enamel are not the same thing, it is the effect of enamel after the color material is fired.

Tang Yi nodded, "This is the porcelain capital, and there are many porcelain glazes, don't you say that it is between 800 degrees and 1500 degrees?" The porcelain is fired at more than 1300 degrees, just in the middle of this temperature, and this thing is grayish-white, very much like a layer of glaze, ordinary glaze is not attached to the metal, enamel can. By the way, why can enamel? ”

"The composition of enamel is not only minerals such as quartz and feldspar, but also oxides of lead and tin, so it can. This box is really not simple, and it is also made of enamel for the caulking. Ran Zhenjun took a closer look and was sure that it was indeed enamel, "This box must have been the color of silver, silver and gray at the beginning, so the caulking was also changed to enamel of this color, but now that the box is dirty like this, the color is different." ”

Tang Yi even began to imagine at this time that the box itself was not sealed when it left the palace, but he didn't know why it arrived in the porcelain capital. At this time, in order to protect the contents of the contents, it is sealed; Because it is in the porcelain capital, someone thought of the method of enamel caulking. And sealing is likely to be only the first step, the second step is to hide in the old pit of the kaolin mine.

Thinking of this, even he had to admire his imagination, and couldn't help but slap his face.

Ran Zhenjun saw that Tang Yi was a little excited, and poured a basin of cold water at the right time, "It's useless to know, if you don't destroy the box as you say, you still can't open it." ”

"Not necessarily." Tang Yi looked at Ran Zhenjun and said, "Although the hardness of enamel is higher than that of iron, and it can also withstand high temperatures, it is not iron after all. Since the attributes are different, it is possible to find a way. ”

"I know..."Ran Zhenjun suddenly had an inspiration and slapped his face.

"Do you know or not? I am your customer, your God. ”

"What the hell is in this box?" Ran Zhenjun was very casual with God and abruptly changed the topic. He asked just now, Tang Yiwei said, and now it seems that it is even more time to ask.

"Maybe it's a piece of paper, maybe it's a seal, it may be ashes, or it may be nothing." Tang Yi replied.

"Why don't you just say you don't know?" Ran Zhenjun returned this sentence to Tang Yi again, and finally stopped selling Guanzi, "My method is to quench." ”

Quench? Quench.

Although the hardness of this enamel is high and the melting point is not low, the ductility is not as good as that of iron-nickel alloys. This doesn't have to be too hot, and it doesn't spoil the box itself.

For blacksmiths, the process is much like quenching. For the workshop of an iron company, there is nothing missing to complete the process.

"Good... Let's go..."Tang Yi didn't expect that the two of them chattered for a long time, but they actually solved this problem, and immediately wanted to walk out of the office and go straight to the workshop.

Ran Zhenjun didn't move, "We haven't negotiated the price yet..."

"You make an offer." Tang Yi stood still.

Ran Zhenjun hesitated, "Five hundred..."

"It's too expensive..."In fact, Tang Yi didn't think it was very expensive, but he was now mixed in the antique circle, and bargaining became a habit, so it would be good if he didn't say "twenty" directly.

"It's not expensive, this is a delicate operation, I'll handle it for you personally." Ran Zhenjun replied.

Tang Yi pretended to grit his teeth, "Okay, but if the box is broken, not only will you not be able to earn the five hundred, but you will have to compensate me for the loss..."

"Okay..."Ran Zhenjun got up and went out, and Tang Yi followed him into the workshop.

Ran Zhenjun really carried out a fine operation, he first heated the iron box as a whole, and then heated it locally in the gaps, the overall heating control was about 600 degrees, and the local heating was increased by about 100 degrees.

The "snort" sound was mixed with the cracking sound of "beep beep", and it seemed that the purpose had been achieved.

Ran Zhenjun put the box on the operating table with pliers again, "You can open it when it's cool in a while." ”

At this time, the black surface of the box body also peeled off and shattered, revealing a shiny silver-gray background.

"It's dirty, it's so beautiful..."Ran Zhenjun looked at the box and couldn't help admiring.

At this time, Tang Yi was a little irritable, "I really can't help it... This is the third time you've said it, it's not dirty, it's called pulp..."
