Chapter 370: The Hourglass Loses the Sand
Yao Ran put one end of the blowpipe on the other end of his mouth, and asked the old man to hold a crucible and tighten the contact range with the blowpipe. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 The molten glass melt dissipates heat in the air very quickly, so it is necessary to constantly heat the glass in front of it when blowing.
When it comes to blown glass, it is a technique that requires experience in order to make the glass into the process of molding. Don't let the front end, which has already softened the melt, fall.
The glass-blowing person has to keep turning the blowpipe in his hand while blowing, and the picture in front of him is particularly fresh and interesting for those who have never been exposed to glass-making work.
Because you will see that one of the blowpipes in Yao Ran's hand is slowly rotating, and the glass at the other end is gradually beating, seeing the old man staring at the pocket, he has never seen such a method to make glass.
Although he had only been in contact with this thing for a short time, and it was his son who taught him how to fire glass and what to pay attention to, he continued to experiment with these transparent and crystalline things.
found that the things that his son did before were not very good, and his confidence continued to increase, which is why he dared to admit that he was an impostor in front of Yao Ran.
Because his vocal experience told him that the patriarch in front of him still attached great importance to this glass workshop, but he could not use it immediately, so he felt that it was more suitable for him to do this job.
And he also allows himself to bring apprentices, which is not something that ordinary technicians can enjoy. This further confirmed his suspicions.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with what he thinks, of course Yao Ran knows the importance of the glass industry in the future, and these craftsmen and masters are in order to meet the technical capabilities one day in the future, so that they can quickly complete the transformation of mass production on the basis of experience. Therefore, it is impossible to have people who are engaged in the glass industry.
Traditional glass products, including all kinds of laboratory utensils that Yao Ran is going to use in the future, are inseparable from glass-blowing masters, because there is no way to make tools that can withstand fire and can be used to make glass tubes.
And it will take about a year to train a skilled glassblowing master before he slowly steps into the track, so Yao Ran can only take precautions. In addition, Yao Ran just thought of a place that could make the glass workshop self-financed, which was to make a time hourglass.
To be a glazier, you must be able to blow glass, and you must also have a certain design ability, or some basic drawing ability, and the ability to calculate the size and proportion. In addition, they also have to endure a lot of unbearable summer heat in the process of glass firing, and there is the frustration of failure to blow if they are not successful, but it also shows the preciousness and value of glass exorcism.
At this moment, the glass in Yao Ran's hand had been blown into the shape of a fist-sized balloon. Blowing glass also has a certain danger, that is, you can't inhale into the blowpipe, the high-temperature heated gas itself will expand, if you accidentally inhale into the lungs, the high-temperature gas in the blowpipe will also bring different degrees of burns.
Yao Ran cautiously blew the glass in front of him into a transparent state. At this time, Yao Ran picked up the blowpipe, turned around and took out a crucible pliers, and twisted it in an instant between the two glasses.
An originally oval-shaped glass ball instantly turned into two small round balls, Yao Ran Yao Ran held the glass product in his hand that glowed with a light green light and put him back on the fire to bake it for a while and connected it to the iron blowpipe, as well as the connection point in the middle that Yao Ran had just twisted.
After finishing the matter, I saw that Yao Ran moved very quickly, using a pair of iron scissors, clicked to cut the place where the blowpipe and the glass products were linked, and then took out a long iron needle that was slightly thinner than chopsticks, and pierced it little by little from the cut opening, until it pierced the contact point between the two balls and the other party.
Then Yao Ran took the crucible pliers again, baked the bottom of the glass without an opening, and then turned around and turned around on a flat plate left behind by making a glass piece before. Yao Ran held the glassware with crucible pliers. placed on top of the tablet, and the trembling hand made it easy for the people around him to find that Yao Ran was exerting himself now.
Then he turned it over again, and pressed the end of the glass product that had just been cut off on the flat plate, so that the basic state of the hourglass was good.
At this time, there is a wooden base outside, and there is a certain amount of sand, how much sand Yao Ran can put is a problem that many people have to consider, but Yao Ran doesn't need it, knowing which ones are peaceful and ominous.
The three of them looked at the hourglass in front of them with six eyes now, Yao Ran asked the child to dig some sand for himself and come back, causing a lot of it to be by the river, and then Yao Ran began to tell the old man about the precautions.
And the child went and retrieved, a large basket of sand. Yao Ran poured the sand on the ground, only to remember that he had no cotton cloth to use and nothing to flush. Then the filter will definitely not work, after thinking about it, Yao Ran repeated the precautions just now, and repeated it to the old man.
After the old man stretched his neck and listened carefully, Yao Ran pointed to the blowpipe on the side and said, "You blow one and try it, I'll help you make a front stop, and then go out to find something and come back." ”
Following Yao Ran's example, the old man took out a small crucible pliers, dug a spoonful of glass that melted into condensate in the large crucible pliers, shook it, and then hung the somewhat hardened glass soft body on the blowpipe, Yao Ran took the smallest crucible pliers and helped the old man fix a circle on the link between the glass and the crucible.
Then the old man began to puff up his cheeks and blow, Yao Ran saw that the old man looked good, and thought to himself whether he was smart or not is really not determined by age, this old man has a good ability to accept.
After everything was arranged, Yao Ran walked out of the glass shed while admonishing, because Yao Ran had to find someone to bring some water. I also need to find some cotton cloth to filter the fine sand, and a few pieces of wood to seal the hourglass and make a rack.
Walking in the blast furnace camp, Yao Ran turned on the retinal system, saw where to find an acquaintance to arrange things, and asked Yao Ran to fetch water by himself, Yao Ran, the patriarch, was really confused, but after turning on the retina system, Yao Ran was stunned.
Then Yao Ran looked bitter, he seemed to have made a mistake again, because he was just out for a stroll, and Hou Yun in the office was still packing up his things.
