The ironware I made shines

Chapter 336 German Tool Man

Ge Xiaohua completed the exercise program arranged by Xu Bin in the blacksmith shop, but he couldn't bear it after trying it for two days.

"Special forces are not a job for human beings. This kind of training is not for ordinary people. It is difficult for a person with a good background like me to persist. How did you become a soldier king?" During the training program, I can't help but feel that it is not easy to be a soldier king.

But in order not to suffer from the kendo performed by professional samurai in Japan, Ge Xiaohua still had to persevere, gritted his teeth and carried out devil training, and completed the training program solidly without discount or laziness without supervision.

For about a week, Ge Xiaohua felt that his body was indeed different from before, and he couldn't tell exactly where it was, but he was used to completing these harsh projects.

At night, Ge Xiaohua had the energy to rest for a while, and lay on the sofa watching TV after taking a shower.

"That's the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau!" Ge Xiaohua's cell phone rang, and when he looked at the caller ID, it was a call from Germany.

"A fraudulent call, right? It should be a number changing software." Ge Xiaohua muttered, just finished exercising, and happened to have nothing to do, so he answered and listened to what the scammer was saying.

"Ni Ao..." The other end of the phone introduced himself in very bad Chinese, which made Ge Xiaohua feel a headache, and finally said in standard English: "Hello, can you speak English?"

"God, it's great that you can speak English. My name is Andre, and I'm a student of Mr. Thor. I plan to invite you to Hamburg, Germany as a guest to exchange forging experience."

"Thor?" Ge Xiaohua didn't think about it for a while. What he thought of was Thor, the god of thunder. After all, he just created Thor's figure some time ago.

After thinking about it, there is a person named Thor, and it is from Germany. Ge Xiaohua thought that when he was on the scene of the "Thousands of Hardening" program, there was a master-level blacksmith from Germany called Thor?It seems that he is quite familiar with Masaosu Yamamoto, and he probably knew Ge Xiaohua's personal information through the program group.

"Why did Andre invite me to Hamburg, Germany?" Ge Xiaohua was still hesitant, although he understood that Master Thor's study should not be a liar, but why did he go to Germany.

"Watson, there will be a sword casting competition in Hamburg, Germany, which will be sponsored by Mercedes-Benz. The reward for the winner is a Mercedes-Benz G-Class off-road vehicle."

"G500?"

Ge Xiaohua recalled that when he bought the Highlander, he saw a Mercedes-Benz SUV. The imported price of the big G was more than 150 million. The reward for a titled folk sword-making competition was a big G. It can be seen that the German side has a lot of handcrafted cars. The emphasis on production is such that even Mercedes-Benz has begun to sponsor it.

"I don't care about the big G. I have a big man, but I have always been curious about German craftsmanship. Why are Germans recognized all over the world in terms of industrial machinery? You can try it through this folk sword casting competition."

Ge Xiaohua thought for a while secretly, and asked Andre for contact information, such as the address, mobile phone number, email, Facebook, etc. of Hamburg, Germany. He could also have some understanding with Andre on the Internet, such as video, voice, etc. After confirming Andre's final identity, Ge Xiaohua packed his luggage and planned to go to Germany. The exercise was almost done, so he could go out and relax. In half a month, Ge Xiaohua conducted devil training in the blacksmith shop, and he felt that it was almost done. So I cleaned up the blacksmith shop, and it was time to ask, everything was ready, and Ge Xiaohua took the plane to Hamburg, Germany.

Although he doesn't know German, English is still very useful as an international language abroad, so no matter where Ge Xiaohua goes, he doesn't need to bring a translator, which saves a lot of trouble, and he only needs to buy a plane ticket for any country he wants to go to. things.

Hamburg, Germany, is one of the three major state-level cities in Germany and the second largest city in Germany. Although it is not as famous as Berlin, it is also a cultural center. It has the reputation of the world's bridge capital and a world-class port city.

Ge Xiaohua arrived in Hamburg, Germany, and Andre came to pick him up in person. Andre is a strong man in his 30s, a little fat, about 1 meters tall, with a beard on his face, looking a bit old-fashioned, simply dressed Jeans and a brown T-shirt.

"Hello, Andre."

"Watson, I have admired your name for a long time."

The two exchanged a few words of courtesy, and Andre looked very simple and honest. He got into Andre's car, which was a Volkswagen SUV.

After arriving at the hotel, Andre introduced the situation in Hamburg to Ge Xiaohua, and explained the time and some details of the Mercedes-Benz Sword Forging Competition.

"It's still early, there's still one week left before the competition?"

"Yes, I will take you around, Watson, during this time."

"Then trouble you."

Ge Xiaohua and Andre spent two days shopping around Hamburg and experiencing the cultural scenery of Hamburg. The relationship between Ge Xiaohua and Andre also changed from strangers to friends, and they began to let go. The relationship between blacksmiths The communication is still carried out by ironware, so Andre suggested that Ge Xiaohua go to his studio to play.

"Wow!" When Ge Xiaohua came to Andre's studio, he was shocked instantly. It is not so much a studio as it is a mechanical exhibition room. There are all kinds of machines, and there are as many as several air hammers alone. Not to mention advanced air hammers, grinders, belt machines, etc., all the tools in Andre’s studio are hung on the wall, hammers, wrenches, pliers, all tools have their own places, every All tools are made in Germany. When it comes to tools, the tools made in Germany are indeed durable and have high precision, but the price is much higher than those made in China. Therefore, few people in China buy a full set of German tools. tool.

In addition to these tools that can buy a house, Andre's studio lathes and the like are available, each of which costs hundreds of thousands of dollars, and the studio he owns occupies a very large area, although It was converted from a warehouse in the suburbs, but the annual rent is also high.

Ge Xiaohuaguang spent more than an hour admiring these tools, machinery, lathes, CNC lathes, hydraulic devices, etc. Andre introduced them one by one with a proud face.

Ge Xiaohua has never seen many tools before. There are dozens of styles of wrenches alone, not to mention hammers. Every hammer has a history. The dazzling array is enviable. Is the owner of the hardware store.

In fact, these tools and machines are all used by Andre himself, which can be regarded as a kind of collection.

"No wonder there are videos of German mechanical engineers on the Internet. Netizens don't envy the Germans for their ingenuity, but envy them for their tools. There are some reasons."

Germans have a complete range of tools beyond the imagination of ordinary people. In fact, many occupations in China can cope with their own affairs with just a few handy tools. There is no need for so many professional tools. It seems redundant, but For the Germans, tools are life, and every tool will not be redundant!

Ge Xiaohua listened carefully to Andre's explanation of some rare tool usage methods, functions, etc., without interrupting, but with a serious study method. Listening is also a kind of respect, although he thinks many tools are unnecessary Yes, but they won't say it out. German blacksmiths and Chinese blacksmiths have another style. They have their obsessions, which are innate.
