Reborn Troops

He not only has unique insights in design, but also has profound attainments in craftsmanship.

Zhou Wanwan has always regarded him as a role model. When she encountered the problem this time, she thought about asking the teacher for help, but she didn't expect the teacher to come in person.

"Wanwan, I heard that you encountered some difficulties?" Master Zhongshan asked gently.

Zhou Wanwan nodded and handed the sketch to the teacher: "Yes, teacher. Ms. Chen Lu's order requires the design of an octopus ring with an open head and a small incense bead inside."

"Although I have a preliminary design, I am still a little worried about the problems in the actual production."

Master Zhongshan took the sketch, looked at it carefully for a while, and then nodded: "Your design is very creative, and the rotating mechanism of the octopus head is also well designed. However, have you considered the choice of materials?"

Zhou Wanwan hesitated for a moment and replied, "I have considered using silver or platinum, but these two materials are relatively hard and may affect the flexibility of the mechanism."

Master Zhongshan smiled and said, "You have thought it through very carefully. In fact, you can try to use titanium alloy. Titanium alloy is not only light but also strong, which is very suitable for making this kind of mechanism that requires flexibility."

Zhou Wanwan's eyes lit up: "Titanium alloy? Why didn't I think of it! Teacher, you are so amazing!"

Master Zhongshan waved his hand and said, "Don't rush to praise me. This is just the first step. Next, you need to consider how to fix the small incense beads."

Zhou Wanwan frowned: "I originally planned to use a small bracket to fix the incense beads, but this might affect the beauty of the ring."

Master Zhongshan nodded and said, "Indeed, the bracket will affect the overall beauty. You can consider using micro magnets to fix the incense beads. This will not only not affect the appearance, but also increase the fun of the ring."

Zhou Wanwan clapped her hands excitedly: "Great! Teacher, you are really my savior!"

Master Zhongshan smiled and said, "Don't be too happy, there is one last question."

Zhou Wanwan was stunned for a moment: "Any other questions?"

Master Zhongshan pointed to the octopus head in the sketch and said, "Have you ever thought about how to open the octopus head? If it is just a simple rotation, it may look a bit monotonous."

Zhou Wanwan frowned: "Then teacher, do you have any suggestions?"

Master Zhongshan pondered for a while and said, "You can consider designing a double mechanism. The first layer is opened by rotating, and the second layer is ejected by pressing. This will not only increase the complexity of the ring, but also give the wearer more surprises."

Zhou Wanwan was stunned: "Double mechanism? This...isn't this too complicated?"

Master Zhongshan shook his head: "Complexity is relative. If you can design it cleverly, it will not only not appear complicated, but will increase the uniqueness of the ring."

Zhou Wanwan nodded thoughtfully: "Teacher, you are right. I will think about it again."

Master Zhongshan patted Zhou Wanwan on the shoulder and said, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Design is a process of continuous trial and improvement. You have done a good job, keep working hard."

Zhou Wanwan looked at the teacher gratefully: "Thank you, teacher. I will work hard."

Master Zhongshan smiled and turned to leave: "Okay, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. You can always contact me if you have any questions."

Zhou Wanwan saw the teacher off to the door, watched him leave, then returned to the workbench, picked up the sketch, and began to redesign.

As time passed, Zhou Wanwan's sketch became more and more perfect. After she finished the last stroke, she let out a long sigh and looked up at Qianqian: "Qianqian, what do you think?"

Qianqian took the sketch and looked at it carefully: "Very good, Wanwan. This design is both creative and practical. Ms. Chen Lu will definitely like it."

Zhou Wanwan smiled, but she was still a little uneasy: "But I'm still a little worried. Although this design looks good, will there be any problems in the actual production?"

Qianqian patted Zhou Wanwan's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Wanwan. You are the most experienced designer in our store. This little problem won't be difficult for you."

Zhou Wanwan nodded, feeling a little relieved. She picked up the sketch and began to prepare the materials.

Just then, there was a sound of hurried footsteps at the door. Zhou Wanwan looked up and saw Ms. Chen Lu running in breathlessly.

"I heard that you encountered some difficulties?" Ms. Chen Lu asked anxiously.

Zhou Wanwan was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, Ms. Chen Lu. But I already have a new design plan, you can take a look."

Ms. Chen Lu took the sketch, looked at it carefully, and showed a satisfied smile on her face: "Great, you really didn't let me down. I like this design very much, let's do it according to this."

Zhou Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief, but she was still a little nervous: "Ms. Chen Lu, don't worry, I will do my best to make this ring."

Ms. Chen Lu nodded: "I believe you, but I have a small request."

Zhou Wanwan's heart tightened: "What request?"

Ms. Chen Lu smiled and said, "I hope this ring can not only open, but also make a little sound. This way, every time I open it, it can bring me a little surprise."

Zhou Wanwan was stunned: "Make a sound? This... this is a bit difficult."

Ms. Chen Lu nodded: "I know it's a little difficult, but if you can do it, I will be very grateful."

Zhou Wanwan took a deep breath and nodded: “Okay, Ms. Chen Lu. I will do my best.”

Ms. Chen Lu left with satisfaction, but Zhou Wanwan fell into deep thought. How to add the element of sound to the ring? This is undoubtedly a huge challenge.

At this moment, Qianqian came over and patted Zhou Wanwan on the shoulder: "Wanwan, don't worry. Let's find a solution together."

Zhou Wanwan nodded, but she was still a little nervous. She knew that the next design journey would be even more difficult.
