Chapter 313: Melting Gold in the Kiln

Hearing Zhao Jinmai's reminder, Li Yi persuaded with a smile: "Forget it, it's hard to buy a good heart, since your grandfather likes it, then wear it!" Why let him know that he has been deceived and make his heart unhappy?

If wearing it makes him feel good, maybe it can also act as a placebo, but it may not have a positive effect on his health?

Anyway, the glass doesn't hurt the body, and there is no bad effect on wearing it. ”

"Hmm... That's right, too! ”

Zhao Jinmai thought about it and felt that it made sense, so he waved his hand at the camera and asked, "Forget Mom, don't tell grandpa, let him wear it and play!" ”

Seeing this, Li Yi quipped: "Is Auntie watching the live broadcast?" You're talking right here? ”

"It's supposed to be watching."

Zhao Jinmai said with a smile: "My mother is now on time to watch our live broadcast, and she is more diligent than going to work." ”

As he spoke, the forklift had already placed all of Li Yi's tools next to the kiln on the right side of the door.

Seeing this, Li Yi beckoned to Wu Lei and led him to the kiln.

The main products of this glass factory are glass handicrafts, so there is no assembly line glass production equipment of a large glass factory.

And because of the pressure of environmental protection, most of the kilns here are small electric fusion crucible kilns.

This electric melting furnace can control the temperature in the kiln in the range of 800-1500 Β°C, and can be used to fire cloisonnΓ©.

Director Yu enthusiastically brought in a master and introduced to Li Yi: "This Master Han is the longest-serving and most experienced master here, if you don't understand anything when you use the kiln, just ask him directly." ”

Seeing this, Li Yi took the initiative to stretch out his hand to the old master and greeted him politely: "Master Han, I'm sorry for you." ”

"It's okay, if you want me to help, you can say it."

Master Han shook hands with him, said politely, and then asked with some curiosity: "Are you a star?" ”

"It's not."

Li Yi smiled: "I am a craftsman." ”

"Oh."

Master Han didn't seem to understand, but he still smiled and praised: "The craftsman is good!" There is a craft that you can't go anywhere hungry.

Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer young people who are willing to learn a trade, and they all feel that it is hard and want to sit in the office.

There is no way, it is too hard to do our work of blowing glass, it is hot and tiring, and young people can't bear this hardship. ”

When Li Yi heard this, he said with a smile: "That's not necessarily, there are many young people who are very interested in traditional old crafts, and if they have the opportunity, they are very willing to learn an old craft." ”

"Really?"

Master Han was happy: "That's good, I'm really afraid that our generation will die, and this craft will be broken!" ”

"I can't break it."

Li Yi said with a smile: "A generation will eventually grow old, but there will always be people who are young." ”

"It makes sense, the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves!"

Master Han smiled and nodded.

Looking at Li Yi and Master Han laughing, Guan Xue frowned slightly at the blind corner of the camera, a little puzzled.

When Li Yi was eating with Guan Yue, he was quite arrogant.

But in front of such an ordinary glassblowing master, he is very polite, what is this?

Li Yi and Master Han talked and laughed a few words, and after asking for instructions on how to control the temperature of the kiln, he took the suitcase from Wu Lei's hand and put it on the operating table on the side.

The suitcase was opened, and ten golden gold bars appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

When Master Han saw the gold bar, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"This is gold?"

He asked hesitantly.

"Yes."

Li Yi smiled and nodded.

"Good boy!"

He couldn't help but exclaim when he heard this: "With so much gold, you can buy a suite in the capital!" ”

"If it's okay, you can make a set of bowls."

Li Yi said, and put the wooden box of the Longevity Boundless Bowl on the desk, and took out the set of Longevity Boundless Bowls from it.

Looking at the longevity bowl that Li Yi took out, Guan Yue in the wheelchair couldn't help but sit up straight.

Cai Yi and Geng Wanhua on the side also became nervous, looking at Li Yi's Wanshou Wujiang bowl on the table with a solemn expression, with complicated expressions.

The cameraman came closer, taking a close-up.

Seeing ten golden bars and a complete set of longevity bowls on the side, the barrage in the live broadcast room was full of barrages.

"Am I right? Is that a gold bar? Ten roots! ”

"! The gold bar says 1000g, so one kilogram is it? This one is four or five hundred thousand! ”

"Please be respectful of the gold in the kilogram unit, please call it a gold brick, thank you."

"Four or five hundred thousand for one, shouldn't there be four or five million for these ten? Brother Yi is so rich? ”

"Does the anchor really want to reproduce the Longevity Boundless Bowl? I thought the anchors had forgotten about it! ”

"Brother Yi, this is too much? Hundreds of millions of bowls are also taken out to fool around? ”

"Are there any old viewers who have watched "Challenge the Limit"? Brother Yi said that he wanted to reproduce the Longevity Boundless Bowl, which is really what he said! ”

"I remember that at that time, didn't Brother Yi say that he wanted to lower the price of this set of bowls? With millions of big gold bricks to reproduce, how can this be regarded as a price down? ”

Li Yi could see the audience's barrage, and after reading the questioning barrage, he said with a smile: "This is the first time I have tried to reproduce this set of bowls, in order to ensure the success rate, it is best to use the same material as much as possible."

This set of bowls is originally made of gold fetal gold wire, so I also use pure gold to make the carcass and try to fit the original shape.

Don't worry, when I use this gold to practice my hands, I can guarantee the success rate, and I will use brass to reproduce it again. ”

Hearing his words, what else did the audience in the live broadcast room say, but in the blind corner of the camera, Guan Xue was glaring at him, very annoyed.

Li Yi is simply too arrogant!

Although those ten gold bricks are nothing to the Guan family, they are also gold, right?

Ordinary people may not be able to earn so much money in their lifetime, but he actually uses that gold to practice!

But Guan Yue, who was in a wheelchair, was not angry at all, but looked at the Wanshou Boundless Bowl in front of Li Yi with interest.

The more confident Li Yi became, the more relieved he became.

He was just curious now, was Li Yi really willing to destroy this set of bowls?

In front of the camera, after Li Yi answered the audience's questions, he picked up a gold bar and put it in the stone grinding crucible.

Then he took the crucible with tongs and put it into the furnace.

Master Han helped him adjust the temperature of the kiln and set the temperature in the furnace at 1100Β°C.

The melting point of gold is 1064.43Β°C, and when the temperature exceeds the melting point, it will turn into a liquid state.

Soon, the temperature inside the kiln rises.

The mouth of the furnace is a 20-centimeter-high arched gap, and the silicon carbide on the side wall of the kiln chamber acts as a resistive heating element, which is burned red to release red-hot heat radiation.

A moment later, the gold bars in the crucible had melted into a puddle of gold liquid and spread on the bottom of the crucible.

After taking the tongs, Li Yi took out the crucible.

The temperature quickly dropped, and the molten gold beneath the crucible quickly regained its solid state, turning into a one-centimeter-thick gold plate.

Li Yi took it out with a clip and put it into the bucket on the side.
