MTL - A Mouthful of Sky-high Fried Rice, Lao Tang Apprenticed on the Spot-Chapter 315 keep pace with the times

  Chapter 315 Keeping pace with the times

  Chick!

  When the gold plate meets water, a string of bubbles evaporate for a short time, and the temperature drops rapidly.

  Following, Li Yi clipped it out and put it on the table.

  Using a rag to wipe off the moisture on the top, and using a spray gun to dry up the remaining moisture, Li Yicai picked it up and walked to the tablet press machine next to the kiln.

   This is a 50P high-precision two-roll rolling mill, which can roll out gold sheet products with a minimum thickness of 0.2mm.

  However, Li Yi can't use such a thin gold piece, he only needs a gold piece with a thickness of more than 1mm and less than 5mm.

  Turn on the tablet press, set the parameters, and place the gold plate in the center of the roller of the tablet press. After extrusion, the gold plate becomes thinner and wider.

   Continued to squeeze a few times, and the gold plate quickly turned into a large gold sheet with a smooth surface and a uniform texture.

  Looking at Li Yi's operation, Wu Lei behind couldn't help sighing: "This gold looks so soft, it's like rolling noodles, and it's thinner in one go."

   "That's for sure."

  Li Yi said with a smile: "This tablet press machine is about the size of 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. Squeezed by them, of course, it is almost the same as dough. "

   "So fierce?"

   Wu Lei was a little surprised.

  He did not expect that such a seemingly inconspicuous machine would weigh seven tons.

   "Brother Yi, how do you know its data?"

   Wu Lei was a little curious.

  The data mentioned by Li Yi are very professional data, usually no one knows about this kind of machine, right?

   "What's so weird about that?"

  Li Yi smiled and pointed to the nameplate behind the controller: "Isn't it all written on it?"

  Wu Lei bypassed the controller and glanced at the nameplate at the back. Sure enough, the data Li Yi just said was marked on it.

   "..."

  Wu Lei was speechless for a moment, feeling like an idiot.

  After pressing a piece of gold, Li Yi didn't stop, and continued to smelt gold, melting other gold bars into gold plates, and then pressing them into gold plates of different thicknesses.

  Among them, about 5mm of gold flakes are used to punch bowl tires.

  The 1mm thick gold sheet is used to draw gold wire.

  Watching Li Yi busy in front of the kiln, Cai Yi and Geng Wanhua had mixed feelings.

  Before they came today, they were actually mentally prepared to witness the destruction of a national treasure.

   But judging from Li Yi's current operations, his idea of ​​re-enactment is still very correct, and it is the same as the method of argumentation and trial by the re-enactment expert group.

   Judging from the current situation, it is really possible for Li Yi to reproduce the Wanshou Wujiang Bowl.

  However, this possibility has only changed from 0% to 1%, and it is still far away from the success of the re-enactment.

  When the re-engraving expert group tried to re-engrave, the estimated success probability could even reach 90%, but the final result was still a failure.

  So, they were still pessimistic about Li Yi's attempt.

   After pressing the gold piece, Li Yi drew the patterns on the gold piece with a pen.

  Following that, he used a jigsaw to saw out the bowl tire gold piece.

   Watching the gold shavings and powder that he filed off when he polished and trimmed the edge with a file, the audience in the live broadcast room watched eagerly.

   "These leftovers can be made into a pair of gold bracelets, right?"

   "My God! The scum that has been repaired is worth tens of thousands, right?"

   "Professional recycling of scrap metal, free door-to-door collection, at your own expense."

   "It's too extravagant! Brother Yi really doesn't feel bad! Take the file and file hard!"

   At the scene, the lens of the camera was also trembling slightly, but the cameraman was also shocked by Li Yi's inhumane Dubai filing method, and his heart skipped a beat.

  But Li Yi didn't mean to soften his hands at all, he was still rasping fiercely.

  Looking at Li Yi's ruthless look from behind, Zhao Jinmai felt distressed, and couldn't help asking: "Brother Yi, do you have to file like this? Isn't it a bit too ruthless?"

   "No way, this is what tire manufacturing must do."

  Li Yi explained while trimming: "If you make tires by hand according to traditional techniques, you have to use a hammer to hammer the carcass into the desired shape little by little.

   In this way, the shape of the device can be adjusted during the beating process, so naturally there is no need to repair too hard.

   But I don't have that much time to tap slowly, I plan to use a stamping machine to stamp and form it in one go. "

   "Stamping?"

  Wu Lei heard the words and couldn't help complaining: "It sounds like it doesn't have to be hand-knocked! It's purely hand-made, how compelling is it?"

   "That's to fool the layman."

  Li Yi smiled and said: "Compared with the traditional old craft, the processing speed of the stamping machine is faster, and the quality of the finished product produced by stamping is also better than that produced by hand, why not use it?

  The reason why Chinese craftsmanship has been passed down for thousands of years and has bred so many superb skills is because the craftsmen have the spirit of humility, studious and excellence.

  Old craftsmanship does not mean that it must be good. Only by learning to use the advantages of convenient new technologies and keeping pace with the times can we develop more exquisite skills. "

  Hearing Li Yi's words, Cai Yi and Geng Wanhua's expressions were a little strange.

  When they re-engraved cloisonné objects, they all pursued 100% reproduction of the original craftsmanship.

  The embryos of the re-engraved cloisonne were all knocked out bit by bit with hand hammers.

  But they didn’t think there was any problem at the time, and even felt a sense of participation and accomplishment, as if they had touched history with their own hands.

  But now hearing Li Yi's words, they suddenly felt that they were a little too **** back then?

  Hearing what Li Yi said, Huang Xiaoming couldn't help asking: "Sometimes modern machinery can't replace pure handwork, right?

  Some handmade products are indeed more textured than machine-processed ones.

  For example, I bought Zhangqiu’s iron pan, which was hand-knocked out with a hammer bit by bit. It is used for cooking. It feels better than modern mechanical stamping pans, and it is indeed not easy to stick to the pan. "

   "Is it the Zhangqiu iron pot that claims to be hammered out of thirty-six thousand hammers?"

  Zhao Jinmai asked curiously: "I saw a live broadcast, and someone smashed a small hole in the pot with a hammer.

   When I watched the live broadcast, I still wanted to buy it. Is it really non-stick? "

  Wu Lei heard the words, but shook his head and said: "My mother bought it, and it's still the same sticky."

"Nope?"

  Huang Xiaoming asked suspiciously: "The pot I bought is pretty good, it doesn't stick at all when you use it?"

  In the live broadcast room, after hearing their conversation, the audience also chatted in the barrage.

   "I also watched the live broadcast, saying that if you hit it with a hammer, there will be that kind of pit, and it will not be in full contact with the ingredients, so as to avoid sticking to the pan."

   "Don't be fooled! I bought it! It's purely false propaganda! It should be sticky or sticky!"

   "Aren't you talking nonsense? I bought it too, and it seems to be quite useful!"

   "I bought a Zhangqiu iron pot for my mother in the live broadcast room before, but I was scolded, saying that it is not as good as the old iron pot that has been used at home for more than ten years."

   "If you don't know how to use it, just say it. Is it interesting to insist on hard black? Zhangqiu iron pot has been selected into the intangible cultural heritage, how can it not be easy to use?"

   "Oh, the intangible cultural heritage can guarantee that it will not stick to the pan? Then why do I stick like that when cooking?"

   In the live broadcast room, a debate about the wok was soon set off.

  For a while, the two sides were divided into two camps, and no one could convince the other.

  So, everyone threw the question to Li Yi.

   "Brother Yi, please comment! Is this Zhangqiu iron pan sticky or not?"
