Chapter 44: Wealth is blown out, only you are my only one

As soon as the glass melt came out, everyone started to work hard.

First of all, the treatment is different. The raw materials are divided into three treatment methods.

One is to directly pull away the raw materials that are processed into large pieces and annealed to form a coarse embryo. Then it will be cut as needed, and then re-melted into liquid for fine processing. The other is to directly inject the melt into the mold and automatically process it into finished products of various shapes. The other is to completely use manual operations and blow directly into handicrafts of various shapes.

"The wealth we create is blown out with our mouths." Master Li De said to Fan Wubing with a smile.

Before Fan Wubing could recall it, he saw Li Deyi manipulating the tool and taking a ball of glass melt from the melt, and then he used a nickel-chromium alloy blow tube to blow it up in the mold, and the soft glass melt gradually formed.

Master Li couldn't get out of the room, and an apprentice next to him took on the task of explaining, "Converting the melted glass liquid into a solid product with a fixed shape, which is generally referred to as forming. This process must be controlled to control the glass melt within a certain temperature range before it can be carried out. In fact, it is a cooling process. The glass first changes from mucus to plastic, and then becomes a brittle solid."

While speaking, Master Li blew out the embryo of a vase. A master next to him picked up scissors, tweezers, and pliers, and began to pick up a small tip from a ball of glass melt and trimmed it quickly. The progress of the two people was very good. When they combined the parts together, the crystal glass vase was basically formed.

"Take it down and do annealing." After finishing his work, Master Li ordered an apprentice.

Fan Wubing was a little moved when he saw this. Master Li saw it and handed him the alloy tube, gave him a ball of raw materials, and then pointed him to try it too.

Fan Wubing learned to blow, but it was always difficult to control his strength. After trying it a few times, the appearance he got was not satisfactory. It was because he had already started pressing the product with molds, and it was very neat.

"It's very good to have such an effect when you blow glass for the first time." Li De looked at Fan Wubing's works and praised with a smile, "Actually, our apprentices were far worse than you at that time. We always asked the master to beat them a few times before we mastered the trick. It's really rare that you can blow like this in a few minutes!"

Fan Wubing looked at a somewhat deformed vase that he had blown out, scratched his head and asked, "Do you should take it out and cool it down? I will take it home later! I guess my parents will be more interested after seeing it!"

"You'd better not do that. The annealing process is indispensable!" Master Li shook his head and said.

"Why? Isn't it easier to cool down in cool places?" Fan Wubing was very curious.

Master Li explained, "Generally speaking, glass undergoes very intense temperature changes and shape changes during forming. The thermal stress left by this change in the glass will reduce the strength and thermal stability of the glass products. If you take the product directly to cool it, it is very likely that the glass products will break on their own during the cooling process, or during the later storage, transportation and use, which is what we commonly call the cold explosion. In order to solve this problem, glass products must be annealed after forming. In fact, it is to keep warm within a certain temperature range, or slowly cool for a period of time, so that the thermal stress in the glass can be eliminated or reduced to an acceptable level. If your vase is not annealed, it is a problem whether it can be taken home, let alone stored."

"So that's it!" Fan Wubing, as if he had been taught, handed the vase to an apprentice next to him, "Please help me take it to reduce the fire!"

Everyone's faces suddenly smiled. In fact, the glass factory can reopen, and the most benefit is the more than a thousand workers and their families. Therefore, they are grateful to Fan Heng and Fan Wubing, father and son.

Fan Wubing watched the workers use various machinery and equipment and various molds to process all kinds of finished products, and then transported the finished products that emit heat to anneale. Suddenly, his mind stopped for a moment. For some reason, he thought of Ouyang Xiaowei again.

Doesn’t she also like to see such shiny things the most?

"Xiao Fan, what are you thinking?" Master Li De asked, patting his shoulder.

"Uh--" Fan Wubing paused and said to Li Deyi very seriously, "Master Li, can you help me make something? It probably needs to be blown."

Li Deyixin thought this was not simple, so he asked, "What does it look like? Just tell me!"

Alas, it’s really hard to say! Fan Wubing simply said to Li Deyi, “I’ll just draw a sketch for you!”

As he said that, he took out the paper and pen and started drawing.

As soon as Li De glanced from the side, he saw Fan Wubing drew an elongated gourd shape on the paper, but the two sides were equally large, and the middle connection was very slender, like a bee waist.

"It doesn't need to be very big, just put it in your hands and play with it." Fan Wubing handed it to Li Deyi with a sketch, and then emphasized it.

"This kind of thing tests technology, and the smaller it is, the harder it is to work!" Li De immediately saw the mystery, took a ball of glass liquid, and then started blowing it.

Fan Wubing watched from the side and felt that Master Li was blowing out the things he imagined like magic, and then took them away for annealing and post-processing.

Feeling that it was a little hot in the workshop, Fan Wubing walked out. The ribbon-cutting ceremony there was basically over. The leaders were leading the staff in the factory to visit the new factory. Fan Wubing suddenly saw that Ouyang Xiaowei was also accompanying the leaders to visit with Wu Zhi Xiaoji and the others.

Fan Wubing quietly looked at Ouyang Xiaowei in the distance, looked at her beautiful face, her long hair with a slight shiny light in the sun, and her calm smile like a spring breeze, and she was a little dazed.

As if he sensed Fan Wubing's gaze, Ouyang Xiaowei turned her head over. After seeing that it was Fan Wubing, she immediately closed her smile and frowned slightly to avoid it.

Fan Wubing smiled bitterly and shook her head. Alas, it seems that her anger has not yet subsided!

After a while, the apprentice of the master Li Deyi ran over again, holding a brocade box in his hand, and handed it to Fan Wubing, and then said, "This is what my master just made. Please take it carefully. The vase you made yourself must be treated with again. I will send it to your house in a few days!"

"It's so troublesome. I'll treat you to dinner another day." Fan Wubing expressed his gratitude very politely.

"It's just a little thing, there's no need to be so troublesome." Li Deyi's apprentice smiled and said goodbye and went back.

Fan Wubing opened the box and saw that it was exactly what he wanted. Originally, he just hoped that Master Li could blow out a semi-finished product for him. Who knew that the master was a master after all, and he actually made it a good post for him, saving even the little time he expected.

Fan Wubing sighed and turned his gaze back to Ouyang Xiaowei. After watching for two minutes, he walked towards her with extremely firm steps and reached her.

Ouyang Xiaowei was mixed in the crowd and suddenly saw Fan Wubing blocking her way. She was suddenly confused. She didn't expect that Fan Wubing would pick this time to block her, so she raised her head silently and looked at Fan Wubing with a questioning look.

"Why do you want to block my way?" Seeing that Fan Wubing did not move out of the way, Ouyang Xiaowei kicked the small stone on the ground with the tip of her shoe, and couldn't help but ask in anger.

"That's because we are destined to go the same path, so naturally I can't let you walk alone." Fan Wubing was also anxious and said as if his blockade was reasonable.

"Bored!" Ouyang Xiaowei rolled her eyelids and was about to bypass her.

Fan Wubing still steadily blocked her way.

"Why are you blocking my way again? You are very annoyed!" Ouyang Xiaowei wished she could rush over and kick Fan Wubing to relieve her anger, but in public, she still had to maintain her image as a positive lady.

"That's because your only way out is to be with me." Fan Wubing's face became thicker and thicker. When he said such sour words, he didn't even get red.

"Please let go, okay?" Ouyang Xiaowei saw that everyone was walking in front, and there were only two of them left here, so she gently kicked Fan Wubing with her feet, and then said in a helpless tone, "We are two kinds of people of different types. I only want the life of ordinary people, and you are destined to be lonely. The encounter between us is just a wrong intersection and there will be no result."

It was the first time Fan Wubing heard Ouyang Xiaowei say such words, and he was in a heavy mood. He took out the brocade box from behind and handed it to Ouyang Xiaowei.

After Ouyang Xiaowei opened it, she saw a little thing shining with bright crystal brilliance in the sun. She didn't understand why Fan Wubing suddenly gave her this thing?

Fan Wubing picked up the newly completed small crystal hourglass and suddenly turned it over. The thin floating sand tilted down through the small hole passage in the middle. Then he looked at Ouyang Xiaowei's eyes calmly and said word by word, "The so-called wealth is just like this crystal hourglass, all blown out! But to me, it is like the time represented by this hourglass, which is unique and eternal!"
