My Life Simulator

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

Lu Li smiled and shook his head. Jade carvings are so extravagant, and just a piece of material is extremely valuable.

If you get it all wrong, it will break your heart.

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

Carefully take out this Tian Huangshi from the box, carefully install it on the jade carving equipment, lock the soft fixture, and carefully fix the jade.

Don'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 prepared, and only then did he observe the jade 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!"

Pressing the start button, the jade carving equipment immediately started to operate, and the rapidly spinning motor made a slight "humming" sound.

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

The engraved needle fell on the jade, and the dust and jade chips 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 finished carving and made a successful work, he could immediately double the original material value of the jade.

After turning off the engraving needle and changing the grinding head, Lu Li started 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 crystal clear texture of the jade.

The grinding head is wiped a little bit, a little bit of sanding, very light, very careful sanding, it must be ensured that no material is wasted, and not too much is cut.

After grinding, it is rough carving.

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

Another engraving needle was changed, and the surface of the jade was polished little by little to slowly build 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 semi-transparent jade, and Lu Li saw that behind the flawed black spot, suddenly... a deep crack appeared.

The jade is cracked! Or the cracks hidden deep inside the jade!

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 where the risk of the jade industry lies!

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.

Such internal cracks are difficult to find during jade inspection and identification.

As a jade carving craftsman, I am most afraid of this situation. Jade is very brittle, and cracked jade is more dangerous to carve. If you are not careful, it is very likely that the crack will spread and the jade will be completely broken.

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

"Mr. Lu, what are your orders?"

Manager Wu hurried in.

"look by youself!"

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

"what?"

Manager Wu exclaimed, and hurriedly leaned up and looked down. Sure enough, a tiny line mark was seen inside the jade, which was a crack.

"This this……"

Manager Wu looked helpless, "Mr. Lu, look...what about this...?"

A cracked jade carving has plummeted in value!

"There is a way, hollow out!"

Lu Li pointed at the crack on the jade, and said to Manager Wu, "Through the hollowing process, we can integrate this crack into the shape and composition to solve the crack problem perfectly. It's just...there are risks."

"What risk?"

Manager Wu is not a professional after all, and is not very expert in 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 with one knife."

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

If the jade is broken, the loss will be heavy.

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

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

Manager Wu didn't dare to be the master. He quickly took out his mobile phone and dialed the boss's phone, "Mr. Jiang, during the carving process, Mr. Lu found that there are cracks in the No. 3 Tian Huangshi. Yes! Internal cracks. What Mr. Lu meant. ...Do you want to talk to Teacher Lu? Okay."

Manager Wu quickly handed the phone to Lu Li.

"Hello, Mr. Jiang."

Lu Li took the call and greeted President Jiang.

"Hello, little brother!"

President Jiang smiled and said, "Little Junior Brother, when are you free? Let's get together! We have cooperated with our company twice, and I haven't had time to meet you yet!"

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

Lu Li was stunned for a moment, isn't he talking about jade? What are you doing homely?

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

Just as Lu Li was about to explain the situation, he was interrupted by President Jiang before he finished speaking.

"You can do it as you see fit!"

Mr. Jiang smiled, "The teacher appreciates your skills very much. I believe in the teacher's vision and your skills. Do what you want to do."

"What if it breaks?"

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

"Haha! If it is broken, it will be sold on a retail basis!"

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

"That's fine!"

Lu Li smiled and nodded, "I'll give it a try!"

Since you believe me so much, I have to show some real skills.

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

"Okay, trouble Teacher Lu."

Manager Wu answered the phone and nodded to Lu Li, "Mr. Lu, I won't disturb you, I'll go out first."

After Manager Wu left, Lu Li looked at this piece of Tian Huangshi, at the hidden crack, and let out a long breath.

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

I'm not perfect to resolve this issue, then I'm sorry for Mr. Han's praise for me!

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

For a scholar, this is a question!

Lu Li turned around 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 have professional data, and the calculation is not too complicated.

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

Without destroying the structure and eliminating the internal stress of jade, the whole world has no choice but to leave it to nature and time.

However... jade carving is destroying the internal structure and releasing 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, making a tooth-searing rubbing sound.

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

Not broken!

The engraved needle pierced the crack, and the jade was not broken!

call……

Lu Li let out a long sigh, and a smile appeared on his face. Sure enough, my calculation was completely correct. Even if there is still internal stress, it has already been released.

Next comes the test of craftsmanship!

Hollow jade carving is the most challenging carving technique in jade carving craftsmanship.

Lu Li replaced the thinnest and longest carving knife, and went deep into the hole, using the flaws and black spots on Tian Huangshi as the origin, using the holes and cracks to carve the shapes of dark rivers, waterfalls and deep pools.

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, which is similar to micro-carving, must be extremely careful, the hand must be very steady, the heart must be very quiet, and the slightest mistake will be lost.

Fortunately, Lu left and hung up!

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 fine hollow carving.

The engraving that followed was very smooth.

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

At the end of the day, Lu Li has completed the main body carving process, and only needs to be polished and left with the author's inscription.

During dinner, Manager Wu brought a sumptuous meal.

No booze! 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 grinding head, and the jade surface was polished and polished.

The jade 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 surface.

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

After the sanding is round, vacuum and clean it for a second polishing.

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.

When the entire polishing process is completed, a radiant and splendid jade carving work is completed.

In the last step, at the bottom of the jade carving, the inscription is signed.

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

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

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

The base material is naturally prepared in the company. Lu Li chose a piece of ebony of the right size and made wood carvings.

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

With Lu Li's craftsmanship, it was naturally easy to complete this wood carving of the base.

After polishing, polishing, and waxing the wood carving base, Lu Li placed the jade carving in the dent 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 smiled and nodded.

...

the next day.

This jade sculpture by Lu Li was officially launched.

"Mr. Lu, your work... has it been completed?"

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

Manager Wu hurriedly took out his mobile phone and called President Jiang, "Mr. Jiang, Mr. Lu's work is finished. Yes! The cracks are completely invisible, it's amazing!"

Hanging up the phone, Manager Wu said to Lu Li, "Mr. Lu, President Jiang will be here soon. He wants to appreciate your creations."

"welcome!"

Lu Li smiled. After the jade carving work is completed, the boss has to take a look at it in person, which is also normal.

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

"President Jiang!"

Manager Wu quickly stepped forward to say hello.

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

President 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 you brother!"

Mr. Jiang said with a smile: "I am also a student of Mr. Han. After all, I am your senior brother. If you call Mr. Jiang, you will be seen outside!"

"Hello, brother!"

Lu Li was as good as he was, and quickly changed his tone and called out to Senior Brother.

It's just... Lu Li also knows that this kind of "senior brother and brother" is just a concept. It's not the same concept as the ancient brothers and sisters.

"well!"

President Jiang nodded with a smile, and then looked at the finished jade carving, "This jade carving...good craftsmanship, good craftsmanship, the junior and junior fellows are really superb! The internal cracks have been changed into waterfalls and dark rivers? Very good!"

"That crack was carved into waterfalls, dark rivers and cold pools with hollowing out."

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

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

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 is beautiful and interesting.

"Good! Good! The mountains and rivers complement each other, and the movement and stillness are suitable. Moreover, the water in the cover is reciprocating. This is... the principle of siphon? It's amazing!"

President Jiang's face was full of admiration, "Little Junior Brother's craftsmanship... is amazing!"
