Chapter 314: Keeping Up with the Times
Laugh at!
When the gold plate meets the water, after a short evaporation of a string of bubbles, the temperature quickly decreases.
Then, Li Yi took it out and put it on the table.
After wiping off the moisture from the top with a rag and drying the residual moisture with a spray gun, Li Yi picked it up and came to the tablet press next to the kiln.
This is a 50P high-precision two-high rolling mill, which can roll out finished gold sheets with a minimum thickness of 0.2mm.
However, Li Yi does not need such a thin gold sheet, only needs a gold sheet with a thickness of more than 1mm and less than 5mm.
Turn on the tablet press, set the parameters, put the gold plate in the center of the roller of the tablet press, after squeezing, the gold plate will be a layer thinner and much wider.
After squeezing it a few more times, the gold plate soon turned into a wide sheet of gold with a smooth surface and an even texture.
Looking at Li Yi's operation, Wu Lei in the rear couldn't help but sigh: "This gold looks so soft, it's like rolling dough, and it's thinned out at once." β
"That's for sure."
Li Yi smiled: "You don't think this tablet press is about the same size as a refrigerator, but it weighs 7.2 tons, which is equivalent to the weight of five family cars."
The Rockwell hardness of these two rollers can reach more than 65 degrees, and the hardness of gold is only 2.5. β
"So fierce?"
Wu Lei was a little surprised.
He didn't expect that such an inconspicuous-looking machine would weigh seven tons.
"Brother Yi, how do you know its data?"
Wu Lei was a little curious.
The data Li Yi said are all very professional data, and generally no one usually understands this kind of machine, right?
"What's so strange about that?"
Li Yi smiled and pointed to the nameplate on the back of the controller: "Isn't this all written on it?" β
Wu Lei bypassed the controller and looked at the nameplate behind him, and sure enough, the data that Li Yi just said was marked on it.
ββ¦β¦β
Wu Lei was speechless for an instant, feeling like an idiot.
After pressing a piece of gold, Li Yi did not stop, and continued to smelt the gold, smelting all the other gold bars into gold plates, and then pressing them into gold sheets of different thicknesses.
Among them, the gold sheet of about 5mm is used to stamping the bowl tire.
The 1mm thick gold sheet is used to draw gold wire.
Seeing Li Yi busy in front of the kiln, Cai Yi and Geng Wanhua were in mixed moods.
Before coming today, they were actually mentally prepared to witness the destruction of a national treasure.
But judging from Li Yi's current operation, his replication ideas are still very correct, and the method of argumentation and attempt by the replication expert group is the same.
Judging from the current situation, it is really possible for Li Yi to reproduce the Longevity Boundless Bowl.
However, this possibility has only changed from the original 0% to 1%, and there is still 108,000 miles away from the success of the reproduction.
When the replication expert group tried to reproduce, the probability of success was estimated to reach 90%, but the final result still failed.
Therefore, they are still pessimistic about Li Yi's attempt.
After pressing the gold sheet, Li Yi used a gauge pen to draw the pattern of the material on the gold sheet.
Then, he used a wire saw to saw out the gold sheet of the bowl tire.
Watching the gold chips and powder that he filed when he polished and trimmed the edges with a file, the audience in the live broadcast room was hot-eyed.
"These leftovers can be used to make a gold bracelet, right?"
"Oh my God! The slag from this repair must be worth eight thousand, right? β
"Professional return to the metal scrap, free door-to-door collection, at your own expense."
"What a luxury! Brother Yi is really not distressed! Take a file and file hard! β
At the scene, the lens of the camera was also trembling slightly, but the photographer was also shocked by Li Yi's inhumane Dubai file, and he was shocked to see it.
But Li Yi didn't mean to be soft at all, and he was still filing hard.
Looking at Li Yi's ruthless appearance in the rear, Zhao Jinmai felt distressed, and couldn't help asking, "Brother Yi, do you have to file like this?" Isn't it a little too ruthless? β
"No way, this is what you have to do to make tires."
Li Yi explained while trimming: "If the tire is made by hand according to the traditional craftsmanship, then the carcass must be hammered into the desired shape little by little.
In this way, you can adjust the shape of the device during the beating process, so you don't have to repair it too hard.
But I don't have that much time to hammer slowly, so I'm going to use a press to stamping and forming it in one go. β
"Stamping?"
When Wu Lei heard this, he couldn't help but complain: "I don't feel like I heard it by hand!" Handmade, how compelling? β
"That's fooling the uninitiated."
Li Yi said with a smile: "Compared with the traditional old technology, the processing speed of the stamping machine is faster, and the quality of the finished product is better than that of the hand-beaten, why not use it?"
The reason why the craftsmen of the Chinese people have been passed down for thousands of years and have given birth to so many amazing skills is because the craftsmen have the spirit of being modest and studious and striving for excellence.
Old craftsmanship does not mean that it is necessarily good, learn to take advantage of convenient new technology, keep pace with the times, in order to develop more exquisite skills. β
Hearing Li Yi's words, the expressions of Cai Yi and Geng Wanhua in the rear were a little strange.
When they were reproducing cloisonnΓ© artifacts, they were all pursuing 100% original craftsmanship.
Those embryos that reproduce cloisonnΓ© are all knocked out little by little with their hand hammers.
But they didn't feel anything wrong at the time, and even felt a sense of participation and accomplishment, and a sense of touching history with their own hands.
But now when they heard Li Yi's words, they suddenly felt that they were a little too sharp at that time?
When Huang Xiaoming heard Li Yi's words, he couldn't help but ask: "Modern machinery sometimes can't replace pure handwork, right?"
Some handmade goods are indeed more textured than machined.
For example, I bought Zhangqiu's iron pot, which was knocked out by hand with a hammer little by little, and was used for stir-frying, and I felt that it was better than the stamping pan of modern machinery, and it was indeed not easy to stick to the pan. β
"Isn't it the Zhangqiu iron pot that is claimed to be 36,000 hammers?"
Zhao Jinmai asked curiously: "I have watched the live broadcast, and someone smashed a small pit into the pot with a hammer.
When I watched the live broadcast, I still wanted to buy it, is it really non-stick? β
When Wu Lei heard this, he shook his head and said, "My mother bought it, and it should still be sticky." β
"Won't you?"
Huang Xiaoming was puzzled: "The pot I bought is very good, and it doesn't get dirty at all?" β
In the live broadcast room, hearing their conversation, the audience also chatted in the barrage.
"I've also watched the live broadcast, saying that if you hit it with a hammer, there will be that kind of pit, which will not completely contact the ingredients and avoid sticking to the pan."
"Don't be fooled! I bought it! Pure false propaganda! The sticky is still the same sticky! β
"Nonsense, huh? I bought it too, and I think it's pretty easy to use! β
"I bought a Zhangqiu iron pot in the live broadcast room and gave it to my mother before, but I was scolded and said that it was not as good as the old iron pot that has been used at home for more than ten years."
"If you don't use it, just say, do you have to be hard black? Zhangqiu iron pot has been selected into the intangible cultural heritage, how can it not be easy to use? β
"Oh, intangible cultural heritage can guarantee non-stick pans? Then why do I stick like that when I stir-fry? β
A debate about the stir-fry pot soon set off in the live broadcast room.
For a time, the two sides were divided into two camps, and no one could convince anyone.
So, everyone threw the question to Li Yi.
"Brother Yi, you are judged! Is this Zhangqiu iron pot sticky or not? β
