Su You always thought about using aluminum to make toothpaste tubes. Later, the pressing device was solved, and there was no problem with using porcelain bottles for toothpaste. In fact, even if you don't care about the cost of aluminum, it is not easy to make toothpaste tubes. The modern world is made of automated machines and equipment, and there is simply no technology to realize it here.

The toothpaste tube is made of round pieces of aluminum the size of a coin. The melting point of aluminum is more than 600 degrees, and both extrusion and die-casting molds need high temperatures to melt aluminum in order to press it into the desired shape. Melting aluminum is not a problem, nor is it a problem to make round aluminum sheets. However, it is necessary to use a machine tool to punch the round aluminum sheet into a hollow long cylinder, and then thin the end of the seal, so that the toothpaste can be extruded by piercing the opening when used. Then there is a device that threads the head so that the toothpaste cap can be screwed on. Then rolling on the cylinder to print the text pattern, and finally filling the toothpaste, folding the tube tail, flattening the sealing ......, these are all difficult problems to achieve.

These processes seem to be easy on automated machines, and they only consume some electrical energy. But in this world where there are no automatic devices and purely manual work, it is difficult. Manual or can be realized, then making a toothpaste tube is like refining a weapon, and the price must not be as high as the sky? Unrealistic, Su You didn't think about the toothpaste tube anymore.

Su You, Sun Tianci, Bai Shan, and Ji Changfeng walked aside and told them the characteristics of aluminum, such as aluminum, which is lighter than iron, has good strength, good corrosion resistance, has better plasticity, and is suitable for processing. Aluminum products can be widely used in daily life utensils, such as utensils, and the iron pots and kettles commonly used by people can be changed to aluminum pots and kettles that are not easy to rust and are more durable.

Then there are jewelry, now it can be affirmed that the cost of aluminum is much lower than silver, you can use aluminum instead of silver, made of ornaments, ornaments, handicrafts, such as bracelets, pendants, hairpins, hairpins, etc., aluminum hairpins are cheaper than silver hairpins, and the appearance is not bad, there must be a market. At present, there are buttons that can be made, and Su You plans to manufacture all kinds of buttons in large quantities for use and decoration on clothes.

In fact, aluminum is most used in doors and windows, hardware products, electrical appliances and packaging materials. Aluminum can also be recycled and is an important metal in modern society. But in this world, there is no place for it for the time being.

Su You has to think carefully about the first batch of products made of aluminum, if you talk about this kind of pots and pans and decorations with these big men, it is estimated that they will be interested. You have to have these kinds of products, but you can't just make these products. Su You's eyes turned on Bai Shan, Ji Changfeng, Mao Sui, Zuo Rongsheng, Li Wei, and all kinds of aluminum products also turned in his head, which products to choose?

It is a choice to replace iron items in life, and Li Wei is responsible for this. Jewelry, buttons and zippers will also be produced, which will be left to Bai Shan, and he will ask Sun Xiuyun for credit. Aluminum powder can be added to paint and paint to prevent rust, which can satisfy Zuo Rongsheng's interest. Aluminum armor and aluminum blades are suitable for Ji Changfeng. As for Mao Sui, Su You directly ignored him. By the way, you can let him study aluminum cans. Su You's eyes lit up, if aluminum cans were made, they could be used as cans for reserve food.

With a plan in mind, he gave examples of these commodities and pretended to be casual. Several people had blind trust in Su You, they did not suspect it, and began to discuss how to implement it. According to the usual practice, the drawings of the products and the required equipment must be drawn first, and Su You will divide this task to five people, and the drawings will come out, and then a meeting will be held to determine, and the equipment ...... will be implemented.

Several people expanded their thinking, and then discussed the details of the shape and style of the item, and decided on the first batch of goods to be produced. Mao Sui proposed to make war horse armor, the light aluminum armor can protect the horse from the damage of arrows, and does not affect the speed of the horse, so Su You asked him to beat Ji Changfeng's men.

Now it is only necessary to keep refining aluminum powder, and various products can be produced one after another, and everyone leaves happily to make drawings.

Sun Tianci, who was listening on the side, heard the advantages of many aluminum materials, as well as the prospect of wide application, his eyes couldn't help but shine, he saw unlimited business opportunities, which are huge wealth. I can't wait for the smelter to work twelve hours a day, continuously refining aluminum powder.

The refining continued, and Su You and Sun Tianci stayed in the smelter to watch. Su You naturally couldn't arrange tasks for Sun Tianci, and only said that he would report the progress to the eldest young master from time to time. With aluminum, the workload of the mold workshop will increase again, and Ji Changfeng will have to be equipped with more manpower, but the mold master needs time to train, which is what the eldest young master can do. The two of them went their separate ways.

Su You returned to the workshop and met Zhong Liang again at the door of the studio. Deputy Director Zhong seemed to have been waiting for Director Su, and when he saw Su You, he trotted forward and said, "Director Su, you're back." I've been waiting for you! It seemed that he was looking for something for himself, so Su You introduced him into the studio and asked him what was the matter.

Zhong Liang rubbed his hands and said, "I have some ideas for work, and I want to report to you." ”

Su You was curious, what idea made him wait here all the time? He nodded and looked at Zhong Liang.

Zhong Liang adjusted his sitting posture and said, "During this time, inspired and mentioned by you, I have some ideas on the innovation of instrument manufacturing, and I am about to ask Director Su to correct the axe." After speaking, he took out a few design drawings and respectfully presented them to Su You.

Su You took a look at it and felt familiar, Zhong Liang's drawing was imitating his way of drawing. When he saw the pattern on the picture, his heart moved. I looked at the other two drawings at random, and the three drawings were drawings of swords, knives, and guns, and what caught Su You's attention was that the three drawings were certainly imitations of his design, and there were not many novel ideas. However, the blades of all three weapons are carved with patterns to accentuate the delicate shapes. There is also a black object drawn in the corner of the drawing, corresponding to the figure on the blade surface. Belch? Is this a mold?

Su You's face was silent, his heart was indeed spinning rapidly, and the scene of meeting Zhong Liang before quickly appeared in his mind. The deepest impression is his performance in Xianyin Building, like a fish in water, and he feels like a frequent visitor to Qinglou. Being able to go in and out of the spendthrift Qinglou often shouldn't be something he can afford. Will he become someone else's pawn because he is short of money? If it was him, then what did he mean by taking these pictures, throwing stones and asking for directions?

Su You couldn't be sure, but he had said that the more the inner ghost couldn't get useful information about the project, the greater the pressure, and he would be exposed when he was in a hurry. Whether it was him or not, Su You certainly kept his heart at this time. There was a look of surprise on his face, and he said with a smile: "Deputy Director Zhong, these designs are very good, with unique shapes and exquisite blades." Not bad, not bad, worth promoting. ”

Zhong Liang also smiled, "I'm ashamed, I learned from Director Su." It's still too far behind the supervisor, so I want to ask the supervisor for advice. It's best to be able to learn from you. ”

Hearing that he wanted to come to his side to do things, Su You's suspicion increased again, and he lowered his head and groaned, pretending to think. Zhong Liang hurriedly said: "Director Su is busy, or I can learn from Master Ji, I have been busy with Master Ji recently, but Zhong Liang can't help, and he is very guilty, so he wants to do something under Master Ji." ”

Hearing this, Su You already had an idea in his heart. smiled and said: "I know, when I think about informing Deputy Director Zhong, I will also ask Master Ji's opinion." He waved the drawing in his hand, "You're doing a great job, keep up the good work!" ”

Zhong Liang hurriedly said: "It's all the leaders of Director Su, so Zhong Liang won't scratch and retire first." He has a good image, a tall figure, and a white and handsome face. He walked backwards out of the studio and closed the door.

Su You still sat still, frowning, his heart rising and falling. He remembered that the words "mold" and "loom" were mentioned in the message of the hidden red smoke. At this time, Zhong Liang took a drawing that looked like a mold, and proposed to learn from Ji Changfeng, but his intention was unclear. If Zhong Liang's instigator behind him was the Zhuo family, then the Zhuo family would definitely be able to see that there were non-artificial traces in the blades made of molds by ten thousand blades, and they could guess that they were made with a technique called "molds".

Because of the tightness of the blade defense, Zhong Liang could not get a glimpse of the manufacturing technology of the mold. After not getting the information for a long time, under the pressure of the boss behind him, he chose to take the initiative and throw out these three sets of drawings to prove his creative ability to Su You, so as to join Ji Changfeng's mold workshop, so that he could steal the mold technology openly.

Zhong Liang didn't know that the Sun clan was already investigating the ghosts, and of course he couldn't imagine that someone had been undercover in the Zhuo family for many years. Because of the warning of the hidden red smoke, Su You realized that there was an enemy undercover agent in Ten Thousand Blades. And the assassination on the long street made the entire Sun clan believe in the existence of inner ghosts.

It was because he thought he was safe and thought that no one would suspect him that Zhong Liang dared to take the risk of approaching the mold shop. His initiative exposed himself.

Of course, this is just Su You's suspicion. The truth may not be what he guessed, but now that he has discovered this target, he has his own way to make him exposed. He can come up with a trick to "throw stones and ask for directions", why don't he go back with a trick to "lure the snake out of the hole"?

.........

Because he didn't want to attract the attention of others, after the fight, Su You didn't immediately return the Tianma Meteor Sword to Ma Qianli. Recovering from his injuries, he resumed his work at the smelter, and it was not until three days later that he handed the sword into Ma Qianli's hands. Ma Qianli was extremely fond of this sword, and seeing his eyes glowing and he couldn't put it down, Su You was in a happy mood. Ma Qianli is a friend worth befriending, and if his friend is satisfied, he is naturally happy.

Ma Qianli went out to celebrate at night, not only to celebrate that he had obtained the Magnificent Sword, but also to celebrate Su You's victory in the ring, so that he couldn't refuse. Seeing that he was going to the Qinglou to drink flower wine again, Su You had the intention to refuse, but in the end, he couldn't resist Ma Qianli's enthusiasm and persistence, so he could only accept it.

Coincidentally, a waiter reported that someone outside asked to see again, it was Cui Yongzhi, Cheng Ruyi, Zhou Zhengzong from the Feihong Sword Sect, and their little sister Li Qingyu came to visit.

Remember to make an appointment with them, Su You will not be surprised. A few people sat down and chatted casually, only to know that Li Qingyu was the daughter of Li Xiansheng, the contemporary head of Feihong, and it turned out to be the daughter of the head of the house. Zhou Zhengzong is not small, his father and Li Xiansheng have been friends for many years, so he handed over his son to Feihong Sect to cultivate. It seems that they have plans to unite this pair of children, of course, this is what Su You guessed, he has seen the two get along, so he thought about it.

As soon as they came, they frankly told their identities, and they also saw Su You's strength and took the opportunity to make friends. The two sides have had the experience of joining forces to defend against the enemy, and the relationship is very harmonious, after all, they have shared hardships and difficulties, and there is a foundation of trust between them.

Sure enough, they once again praised Su You's combat performance in the ring, but they still felt incredible about Su You's cultivation of the Golden Water Double Action God. Cheng Ruyi originally thought that Su You was a high-level Mingshen who was about the same as him, and the shock in his heart was also the greatest. Li Qingyu has been staring at Su You since he came in, and he can't worship it.

Zhou Zhengzong glanced at Li Qingyu, but Li Qingyu didn't see it. Zhou Zhengzong's heart was angry, so he had to look at Su You, and he stopped talking, and then vaguely talked about the incident when the three of them met Xi Yunlong after they separated from Su You.

Meeting the expectant gaze of the four people, Su You understood what they meant, and he would not admit it before the change. Now that he has been recognized by Xi Zuping, plus he also wants to befriend these people, for the sake of Baishan's imperial dream, he must befriend the Feihong Sword Sect.

He blinked and said, "Xi Yunlong dared to attack Senior Brother Cheng, Senior Brother Zhou, and Senior Sister Li, he was to blame!" ”

The four of them were shocked, and they naturally understood the meaning of Su You's words. It turned out that he really killed Xi Yunlong! Li Qingyu's eyes were already shining with stars, and Cheng Ruyi and Zhou Zhengzong stood up to express their gratitude to Su You. Zhou Zhengzong said: "Thank you Brother Su for your help and avenging Senior Brother Zhong!" ”

Su You said in a deep voice: "When I heard the sound and arrived, I happened to see Senior Brother Zhong join the battle group, for fear of causing unnecessary misunderstandings, I didn't join as soon as possible, causing Senior Brother Zhong to die." ”

At that time, several people naturally knew that if Su You really suddenly joined in, maybe they would still guard against him. They were busy showing understanding.

Senior Brother Cui said, "Brother Su has a life-saving grace for my Feihong Sword Sect, and we will definitely keep this secret." ”

Su You didn't say that Xi Zuping already knew about it, so he wanted these people to accept his affection.

Cheng Ruyi said: "It turns out that Brother Su hid his strength when he fought with the Yin Corpse, I don't know how you escaped from the Yin Corpse's hands later?" ”
