chapter 23 first business

The blazing welding light started and stopped. After about five minutes, Edgar Austin put down the welding tongs, grabbed the welded gear with his left hand wearing protective gloves, and put it into the precision electronic scale tray. Chance and Lola Gellar followed, and Julianna and the staff of the Archaeological Bureau also followed. All four pairs of eyes fell on the gears that Edgar Austin had welded. They were first curious, then surprised, and finally amazed. The gears Edgar Austin welded were smooth and smooth, with not a single weld scar visible on the surface. The most commendable thing is that he does not do full welding, but spot welding. There are three solder joints in a crack, two at the starting point of the crack and one at the halfway point of the crack. The length of each solder joint is controlled to about 0.8 mm, which is very precise. 2 This is a very smart way to deal with it. Three spot welds are used to weld the broken gear, but the overall weight will not increase too much. The most important thing is that the welded gears look very strong and are not the kind of weak welds that will break again if touched. "Quickly, weigh it quickly."Chance urged the staff member he brought. The staff member immediately turned on the power of the electronic scale, and the display showed that the total weight of the gear was 11.5 grams. The staff member looked at the gear number and said excitedly: "Professor Chance, the weight of this gear was 10 grams before, but now it has increased by 1.5 grams." The standard set by Chance is that the weight added after welding cannot exceed 2 grams. The weight added by Edgar Austin's welding of this gear is 1.5 grams, which not only meets the standard, but also achieves excellent results. The most amazing thing is that he welded three solder joints, each of which weighed 0.5 grams. His hands seemed to be precision instruments! 1 Therefore, it seems that a gear has been simply welded, but based on these data, we can see how powerful Edgar Austin's craftsmanship has become! Chance excitedly grabbed the gear in the electronic scale tray. It was still a little hot, but he seemed not to feel the hot heat. He broke off the gear that Edgar Austin had welded hard. The gear didn't move at all and was very strong. He lifted the gear high and then dropped it hard to the ground, but the gear was still intact, with no sign of cracking. Edgar Austin said with a smile: "Professor Chance, what you asked me to repair is a compass from hundreds of years ago. It is also a precision instrument. It cannot have a lot of power when it operates, so I chose spot welding. .If there is no weight requirement, I can weld it all, but the weight will definitely increase a lot. In this case, it will inevitably affect the accuracy of the compass. Am I right?" 1 "Haha!"Chance hugged Edgar Austin and lost his temper with excitement. "Mr. Edgar, your craftsmanship is so good that I have nothing to say. Your idea is also a good one. The less weight you add, the better the compass will be." The greater the accuracy, the greater our chances of uncovering the secrets of this compass." Edgar Austin said: "Professor Chance, do you want me to do it?" Chance smiled and said: "Of course, there is no need to continue testing. In fact, if you can repair the key, you have already met our conditions. Just to be more secure, Lola Gellar and I decided to test you." At this time Lola Gellar said: "Professor Chance, I just thought of a better way." Chance's eyes moved to Lola Gellar, "What can I do?" Lola Gellar said: "Doesn't Mr. Edgar have a workshop? He can definitely process the same parts. We can ask him to reprocess the damaged parts and repair the damaged original parts at the same time. In this case, we There are two options. We can use the original parts, or we can try to use newly machined parts.” Edgar Austin thought for a moment and then interrupted: "Professor Lola, you mean to process parts of the same material and the same weight, right?" Lola Gellar pursed her lips and smiled, "That's what I mean." Chance clapped his hands and looked very happy, "Okay, let's do it like this, Lola Gellar, I'll leave this matter to you. You take the parts that need to be repaired to Mr. Edgar's studio, and as you said, Repair the original parts and then process new parts. With these two solutions, we will definitely be able to unlock the secrets of this compass." "Just leave it to me."Lola Gellar agreed readily. "By the way, Mr. Edgar, how much remuneration do you want?"Chance suddenly remembered this. Edgar Austin said with a smile: "Professor Chance, just do whatever you want." Chance said: "How about that? Let's do this. After the compass is repaired, the Archaeological Bureau will pay you 50,000 yuan. Do you think it's okay?" "Okay."Edgar Austin agreed readily. Fifty thousand yuan seemed like a very generous amount of revenge, but in fact Edgar Austin didn't take any advantage. For the same thing, if Chance went to find a senior welding engineer, the remuneration would probably not be high enough for him. The most important thing is that even if a senior welding engineer takes action, he cannot achieve Edgar Austin's level of perfection. Therefore, the person who took advantage of this transaction was actually the Archaeological Bureau represented by Chance, not Edgar Austin. However, Edgar Austin is not greedy either. He has already received a business worth fifty thousand yuan before Thunder Horse Studio opened, and he is already very happy. His career had just started, and he never expected to become a big fat man in one bite. Chance said: "Without further ado, Lola Gellar, please clean up now and then go to Mr. Edgar's studio." "Well, okay."Lola Gellar took action immediately. She put the broken parts and compass into a password box. At this time, Julianna's cell phone rang suddenly, and she quickly walked to the door and answered the phone. Edgar Austin looked at Julianna standing at the door and thought to himself: "She looks very busy. What is she busy with? Is recommending me to the Archeology Bureau just a casual thing?" "I've packed up, Mr. Edgar, let's go."Lola Gellar said. Edgar Austin nodded, "Okay, let me carry the box." Lola Gellar said, "No, it's up to me to carry it. I feel at ease only when it's in my hands." Edgar Austin smiled and said, "What? Are you still afraid that I will run away with the box?" While they were laughing, Julianna walked in again, and she walked straight to Edgar Austin, "I'm in a hurry, so I won't go to your studio. I'll come back to you after you finish the matter in front of you." "Well, if you have something to do, just go and do it."Edgar Austin said. Julianna didn't say much, turned around and left the showroom. Watching her back disappear from sight, Edgar Austin also had a question in his mind, "Come to me again after I finish this matter. Why are you looking for me? She seems to be eyeing me when she comes back from Macau. What exactly is she doing?" What do you want to do? Oh, what a headache." "Mr. Edgar, everyone has left, why are you still dazed? Let's go."Lola Gellar urged. 1 Edgar Austin smiled awkwardly and followed Lola Gellar out of the showroom. Lola Gellar drove to Thunder Horse Studio. When she got out of the car, she saw the street shop that was still being renovated. A look of surprise appeared on her face. "Mr. Edgar, is this your studio?" The small shop she saw in front of her was completely different from the large studio she imagined. Edgar Austin said: "Yes, this is my studio. Doesn't it say on the shop sign, Thunder Horse Studio?" "I thought..."Lola Gellar wanted to say something, but closed her mouth again. Kaiden Barlow walked out. He glanced at Lola Gellar who was standing next to Edgar Austin , then at Xia Edgar Austin, and then said after a while: "Edgar, who is this lady?" Edgar Austin said: "This is Dr. Lola Gellar from the Archaeological Bureau." Then he pointed to Kaiden Barlow and introduced Lola Gellar: "This is my partner Kaiden." "Hello, Master Ma."Lola Gellar took the initiative and stretched out a hand to shake Kaiden Barlow hand. Kaiden Barlow also stretched out his hand, but then he found that his own hand was full of oil and paint, while Dr. Professor Lola's hand was white and tender, so he retracted his hand and smiled honestly. Laughing, "Haha, my hands are dirty, so I won't do it." Lola Gellar retracted her outstretched hand. Girls all like to be clean. If Kaiden Barlow really shakes her hand with that hand covered in oil and paint, she will definitely feel bad. She glanced at Edgar Austin beside her with the corner of her eye. She didn't say anything, but her eyes seemed to have made a comparison - they were also masters, one was dirty and fat, and the other was sunny and handsome. My body is also clean, so why is it so different? Edgar Austin said: "Kaiden An, go and tell the decoration master that you can stop here today. I need to use the machine tool, so he can come back tomorrow." "Okay, I'll talk to the decorator right now. It's not much work anyway."Kaiden Barlow turned around and went in to discuss with the decorator. Lola Gellar said: "Mr. Edgar, you have such good skills, you should have a better development platform. This studio is too small and will bury your skills." "Huh?"Edgar Austin said with a smile: "A better development platform? I don't know many people. Professor Lola, why don't you introduce one to me?" "We are relatively familiar, right? Don't call me Professor Lola anymore. I'm three years older than you. Can you call me Miss Lola?"Lola Gellar also had a smile on his face, very gentle and pleasant. "Okay, Miss Lola."Edgar Austin called out immediately. "Giggle."Lola Gellar smiled happily, but said: "Although you call me sister, I can't help with this matter, and I don't know many people. I'm just making a suggestion. I think you should have A better development.” No one doesn’t want better development, and no one doesn’t want to live a better life. It's not that Edgar Austin has never thought about a higher and better development platform, but in this situation, it's useless for him to think about it. This is a very realistic and complex world. People who are capable may not necessarily live a good life, but people who are incompetent can often hold important positions and live a happy life. But he is also very content. Compared with the days before his eye accident, he is many times better now. He also has his own life plan. Everything must be done step by step and not in a hurry. Kaiden Barlow quickly discussed it with the decorator. The decorator didn't even bother to pack away the tools and materials. He said hello to Edgar Austin and left on his freight tricycle. Edgar Austin took Lola Gellar into Thunder Horse Studio, ready to start work.
