Chapter 242 Magical Skills

Carrying a box out of the warehouse, there are tens of millions in his hand.

Lu Li smiled and looked at the head. Jade carving is so extravagant, and just a piece of material is extremely valuable.

If you get it wrong across the board, it will also break your heart.

Back to the jade carving studio with the box, Lu Li sat down in front of a jade carving equipment.

Cautiously took out the Tian Huangshi from the box, and cautiously installed it on the jade carving equipment, locked the soft fixture, cautiously fixed the jade stone.

You can't be careful! This thing... is too expensive!

After the installation was fixed, Lu Li turned on the vacuum fan on the jade carving equipment and got ready, and only then did he observe the jade stone again.

Rotate the fixture, constantly changing the angle. Turn on the light, check it again, and confirm that there is no problem with my styling design.

"Then... start work!"

Press the start button, and the jade carving equipment starts running immediately, and the rapidly spinning motor makes a slight "weng weng" sound.

Reach out and pick up the electric engraving needle, and use the method of wire engraving to gently engrave lines on the jade stone to describe the shape composition.

The engraved needle fell on the jade stone, and the dusty shavings turned up. The dust collector sucks up the dust instantly.

After the drawing is completed, at least one or two grams of jade dust has been removed by grinding, and hundreds of thousands are gone!

Of course, once Lu Li has finished carving and has made a successful piece, he can instantly double the value of the original material for the jade stone.

Turn off the engraving needle and change the grinding head, Lu Li starts the next step, peeling!

Except for the jade skin that is scheduled to be reserved, the jade skin of other parts should be peeled off to reveal the jade stone crystal clear and near-transparent texture.

The grinding head is wiped a little bit, a little bit of sanding, very light, very careful sanding, it must be ensured not to waste material, not to cut too much.

After grinding, it is rough carving.

On the basis of the composition and engraving, according to the natural characteristics of jade stone, a perfect shape is appropriately constructed.

I changed another engraving needle, polished the jade stone surface a little bit, and slowly built a three-dimensional shape.

When Lu Li used an engraving needle to carve a black spot on Tian Huangshi's original flaw, Lu Li suddenly stopped his wrist just after the needle was placed.

"Fuck!"

Even with Lu Li's "calm", he couldn't help but curse.

Through the peeling jade skin, the light shone on the translucent jade stone, Lu Li saw that behind this flawed black spot, suddenly... a deep crack appeared.

The jade stone has cracks! Or a crack hidden deep inside the jade stone!

A piece of jade, if there is a crack inside, this fatal flaw will inevitably lead to a plummet in the value of the jade.

This is the risk of the jade stone industry!

A piece of jade that looks perfect on the surface. It was only when it was processed that it was discovered that it was cracked inside.

This kind of internal crack is difficult to find during jade stone inspection and identification.

As a jade carving craftsman, I am most afraid of this situation. jade stone is very brittle, jade stone with cracks is more dangerous to carve. Accidentally, it is likely to cause the crack to propagate and the jade stone to shatter completely.

Lu Li stopped, raised his head and shouted outside, "Manager Wu, come here!"

"Teacher Lu, what are your orders?"

Manager Wu hurried in.

"See for yourself!"

Lu Li pointed to the jade stone clamped on the jade carving equipment and said to Manager Wu, "There are cracks! Internal cracks!"

"Huh?"

Manager Wu, cry out in surprise, hurriedly leaned over and looked down. Sure enough, I saw a fine line mark inside the jade stone, which is a crack.

"This...this..."

Manager Wu looked helpless, "Teacher Lu, what do you think...this...?"

A cracked jade carving has plummeted in value!

"There is a way, hollow out!"

Lu Li pointed to the crack on the jade stone and said to Manager Wu: "Through the hollowing process, this crack is integrated into the shape composition. It's a perfect solution to the crack problem. It's just that there are risks."

"What risks?"

After all, Manager Wu is not a professional and is not very familiar with specific operations.

"If there are cracks, it means that there is internal stress. It is still uncertain whether the stress has been completely eliminated. So...it is very likely that this piece of jade will shatter once it is cut."

Lu Li spread his hands, "Jade is yours, it's up to you to take the risk or not."

If the jade stone is broken, it will be a huge loss.

Although small pieces of jade stone are still valuable, but...the value of small pieces of jade stone is not at the same level as the value of large pieces of jade stone.

"I...I'll make a call."

Manager Wu didn't dare to be the boss, so he quickly took out his mobile phone and dialed the number of the boss, "Mr. Jiang, Teacher During the engraving process, Lu found that there are cracks in the No. 3 Tian Huangshi. Yes! Internal cracks. What Teacher Lu means...you want to talk to Teacher Lu? Okay."

Manager Wu hurriedly handed over the phone to Lu Li.

"Hello Mr. Jiang."

Lu Li took over the phone and said hello to Mr. Jiang.

"Hello Little Junior Brother!"

Mr. Jiang laughed and said: "Little Junior Brother, when are you free, let's get together! Cooperate with our company twice Now, I haven't had time to meet you yet!"

"Uh... Mr. Jiang is very polite!"

Lu Li was stunned for a moment, isn't it about jade stone now? ? What are you doing homely?

"Mr. Jiang, this piece of Tian Huangshi..."

Lu Li was about to explain the situation when he was interrupted by Mr. Jiang before he finished speaking.

"It's up to you!"

Mr. Jiang laughed, "The teacher appreciates your skills. I believe in the teacher's vision and your skills. What do you want to do? , just do it."

"What if it breaks?"

Lu Li didn't dare to make a ticket. The internal stress problem of jade stone is unsolvable.

"Haha! If it's broken, it will be sold separately!"

Jiang said with a smile: "Even if it is broken, with your skill, you can still make small carvings. !"

"That's okay!"

Lu Lip with a smile, "I'll give it a try!"

Since you believe me so much, I also You have to come up with some real ability.

After hanging up, Lu Li returned the phone to Manager Wu, "Mr. Jiang said, let me handle it, I'll do my best!"

"Okay, Please Teacher Lu."

Manager Wu answered the phone and nodded to Lu Li

, "Teacher Lu, I won't disturb you, I'll go out first."

Wait until Manager Wu After leaving, Lu Li looked at the Tian Huangshi, at the hidden crack, and put out a long breath.

Mr. Jiang's words are not only trusting me, but also commanding my army!

I'm not perfect for this problem, so sorry for Old Han's compliment!

Internal stress, right? Isn't it just a mechanics problem?

For a scholar, this is a question!

Lu Li turned and walked to the desk next to him, took out a pen and paper, drew a picture, calculated the direction of the stress, and calculated the magnitude of the stress.

The hardness and density of Tian Huangshi are all professional data, and it is not too complicated to calculate.

As I kept writing shua shua, Lu Li quickly calculated the direction and magnitude of stress. Of course, this is only an estimate.

There is no way to eliminate the internal stress of jade stone without destroying the structure. It can only be handed over to nature and time.

However...the jade carving is destroying the internal structure and releasing the internal stress.

After calculating it, Lu Li already knew it.

Sitting on the jade carving equipment again, Lu Li picked up a long engraving needle, took a deep breath, aimed at the location of the crack, and slowly pressed it down.

The rapidly rotating engraved needle plunged into the jade stone, making a sour friction sound.

Carefully pressing the engraved needle, the rapidly rotating needle tip touched the crack, and Lu Li's heart was lifted.

Not broken!

The engraved needle penetrates the crack, and the jade stone is not broken!

Whew...

Lu Li put out a long breath with a smile on his face. Sure enough, my calculation was completely correct, even if the internal stress is still there, it has been released.

The next step is to test your craftsmanship!

Openwork jade carving is the most challenging carving skill in jade carving craftsmanship.

Lu Li changed the thinnest and longest carving knife, and went deep into the hole, using the flaws and black spots on Tianhuang Stone as the origin, using the holes and cracks to carve out dark rivers, waterfalls and deep pools shape.

Compared with the original landscape-shaped ornaments, the newly added hollow carvings will definitely consume more materials, but...not only make up for the cracks, but also show more skill and originality.

This kind of hollow carving similar to micro-carving must be extremely careful, the hand must be very stable, the heart must be very quiet, a little mistake will be lost.

Fortunately, Lu Li is on the hook!

Ingenuity makes Lu Li's hands very flexible and stable. Calm makes Lu Li's mentality very calm, very calm, not in a hurry, not in a hurry.

It took Lu Li half a day to complete this delicate hollow carving.

The next engraving became very smooth.

The modern jade carving equipment is faster than the traditional craftsmanship, and the jade stone grinding speed is extremely fast. Hard jade stone, under the fast rotating knife, is not much different from cutting wood.

After a day, Lu Li has completed the main body carving process, just need to polish and leave the author's inscription.

During dinner, Manager Wu brought a sumptuous meal.

No wine! Jade craftsmen are also not allowed to drink alcohol. It's easy to shake your hands when you drink, a shake... Millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions are gone.

After dinner, Lu Li got into the jade carving studio and resumed work.

The carving knife was replaced with a polishing head to polish the jade stone surface.

The jade stone that has just been carved looks gray and has no jewels. Only after the polishing and polishing are completed, can it shine and shine.

The polishing head is stained with polishing powder to finely grind the jade stone surface.

This process is to smoothen the marks of the carving knife.

Wait until it's rounded, vacuum clean, and do a second polish.

Change to a soft cowhide polishing head to polish every part of the jade carving. This process can't be rushed, it has to be done slowly, polished little by little, and can't damage the carving texture.

Wait until the entire polishing process is completed, a brilliant lights and vibrant colors, dazzling jade carving work is completed.

The last step is to sign the inscription at the bottom of the jade carving.

Lu Li's inscription was signed in the style of a seal, leaving two magnificent and ancient seal characters "Lu Li" at the bottom of the jade carving.

At this step, the jade carving itself has been completed, but...it needs to be equipped with a base.

This kind of jade carving ornament generally uses a base carved from ebony.

The base material is naturally prepared in the company. Lu Li chose a suitable size of ebony, and woodcarved.

The shape and carving of the base must match the shape on the jade carving.

Using Lu Li's craftsmanship to complete this pedestal woodcarving, it is naturally easy.

After polishing, polishing, and waxing the wood carving base, Lu Li placed the jade carving in the indentation reserved on the base, and sewed it tightly and tightly.

"It's done!"

Looking at the Tian Huangshi jade carving ornament in front of him, Lu Li nodded with a smile.

 …

second day.

This jade sculpture by Lu Li is officially launched.

"Teacher Lu, your work...has been completed?"

Seeing this exquisite jade carving in front of him, Manager Wu was amazed, "Teacher Lu, you too It's amazing! The crack is completely invisible, completely gone. It's amazing! It's amazing!"

Manager Wu hurriedly took out his mobile phone and dialed Mr. Jiang's number. "Mr. Jiang, Teacher Lu's work has been completed. Yes! The cracks are completely invisible. It's amazing!"

After hanging up the phone, Manager Wu said to Lu Li: "Teacher Lu, Jiang He'll be here soon, he wants to enjoy your creation."

"Welcome!"

Lu Li laughed. After the jade carving is completed, the Boss has to take a look at it in person, which is normal.

A moment later, a middle-aged man in his 40s who looked extraordinary, walked into the jade carving workshop with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Jiang!"

Manager Wu hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.

"Haha! Little Junior Brother, I heard that you have finished your creation?"

Mr. Jiang nodded to Manager Wu, and walked towards Lu Li with a smile on his face.

"Hello Mr. Jiang!"

Lu Li greeted with a smile.

"Senior Brother! I want to call Senior Brother!"

Jiang said with a smile: "I'm also a student of Old Han, after all, I'm your Senior Brother. Shout President Jiang is out!"

"Senior Brother is good!"

Lu Li was very kind, and quickly changed his voice to call Senior Brother.

It's just... Lu Li also knows that this kind of "Senior Brother Junior Brother" is nothing serious, and it's not the same concept as senior and junior brothers like biological brothers in ancient times.

"Good! Good!"

Mr. Jiang nodded with a smile, and looked towards the finished jade carving, "This jade carving... good craftsmanship, good craftsmanship, Junior Brother Sure enough, the skill is superb! The internal crack has been changed into a waterfall and a dark river? Very good!"

"That crack, using hollowing out craftsmanship, carved waterfalls, dark rivers and cold pools."

Lu Li laughed, reached out and picked up a bottle of mineral water on the table, unscrewed the cap, and filled the bottle with a little water, "Senior Brother, look, this is a real waterfall!"

Having said that, Lu Li poured the half-cover of water into the cold pool on the jade carving.

And then...a stream of water gushed out, and the waterfall appeared. A trickle, a steady stream. Coupled with this mountain-shaped jade carving ornament, it turned out to be magnificent and complemented each other.

"Good! Good! The mountains and rivers complement each other, and the movement and stillness are suitable. Moreover, this lid water, infinite cycle, this is... the siphon principle? It's amazing!"

Mr. Jiang's face is full of faces Admiration, "Little Junior Brother's craftsmanship... is amazing!"
