Chapter 140: The Mimeograph Machine Prints the Elven Script
"Li!" In the elf shop, all the major leaders of the elf clan were waiting for Li Xi, and when they saw Li Xi pushing the trolley in, they couldn't help but be surprised and happy.
Little Sister Eliza used the excuse of helping, and even got involved. The four elf girls stared at Li Xi with four pairs of bright big eyes without blinking, and smiled at him vigorously.
Coming into contact with the adoring eyes of the four elf sisters, as well as the expectant eyes of the other elves, Li Xi's mood instantly became happy.
With a wave of his hand, he commanded, "Come and help, unload the things." ”
The elves couldn't wait to rush up when they heard this, even the leader of the elf clan temporarily forgot the dignity of his identity, and helped Li Xi move things off the trolley. The degree of enthusiasm completely exceeded Li Xi's expectations, which made the little elf sister who originally came to help out couldn't intervene at all.
Placing the things on the table, Li Xi took out the purchased books and distributed them to the elves, "Come, come and see, these are the books of my world." ”
A group of elven leaders excitedly held the books in their hands and opened them to read page by page. Although the pictures of books they saw on the computer before brought them a lot of shock, compared with the real books, this feeling of seeing the real thing with their own eyes is obviously much more shocking.
The elves flipped through the pages one by one, and although they couldn't recognize any of the Chinese characters on the book, the feeling that the beautifully printed book, on a page of light and thin paper, could really hold hundreds, or even thousands, shocked them deeply.
The elven leaders were speechless with books in their hands, and they were completely speechless in shock.
Seeing this scene, Li Xi couldn't help but smile, "If you can make paper, you can print books like this." ”
"Paper!" Tyrande's hand, also holding a book, heard Li Xi mention the paper, couldn't help but raise his head and look at Li Xi.
"These books are printed on paper. Li Xi stretched out his hand and pointed to the book in Tyrande's hand, pointing to one of the pages.
Tyrande lifted one of the pages in shock, squeezed it in his hand, and looked at it over and over, obviously curious about how such a thin piece of paper was made.
"Don't be in a hurry to read the book yet, I have some blank paper here for you to see. Seeing this scene, Li Xi couldn't help but smile again.
As he spoke, he took out the blank paper and handed it out, one by one elf, for them to look at carefully. Although there was paper on the books that had been distributed before, the words had already been printed, and now that the white paper was handed out to the elves, it was obviously easier to understand the word "paper" than the book paper.
"This is white paper, no writing paper?" said Storm Sunchaser, holding a blank piece of paper in his hand, and after reading it once, he asked in amazement.
Li Xi nodded, and then said: "I not only brought paper, but also brought a mimeograph machine, using this mimeograph machine, you can do simple printing, right......"
Speaking of this, Li Xi suddenly paused, "Next, I will show you a simple printing technique, and the content of the printing is still up to you." ”
As he spoke, he took out a piece of wax paper, "You can write on this piece of paper, using your elven script, what you want to print." ”
"This piece of paper ......," Tyrande reached for the wax paper.
Li Xi explained: "This is called wax paper, which is printed with a mimeograph machine, and this wax paper needs to be used. By the way, that's how wax paper is used......"
As he spoke, he explained the method of engraving on the wax paper, and then said: "Dear Tyrande, before you engrave on the wax paper, you had better think about what you are going to print. Because this will be the first time that the writing of your elves will appear on white paper, and it will also be the first time that the writing of your elves will be printed using printing. ”
As soon as he said this, all the elves became excited. Being able to witness the writing of the elves was printed for the first time using printing, and they couldn't help but be excited.
Tyrande held the wax paper in his hand, and all the elves began to think about what they were going to print next.
"I want to ......," said the Storm Sunchaser, who suddenly spoke, "I suggest that the first printing is very significant, and we should record today's events." Our elven eternal friend, Lee, helped us bring printing from his world, bringing white paper, so that our elves could come into contact with printed words for the first time. ”
"You're right, Tempest. When Tyrande heard this, he immediately nodded in agreement.
Immediately after, all the elves in the room naturally agreed to the suggestion of the Storm and the Sunstrider. Today's incident is indeed important and deserves to be recorded.
"You'd better think about how this story should be told. Of course, Li Xi would not refuse such a thing, and made a tactful suggestion.
Among the elves, there is no shortage of poets and writers, and in a moment, someone has made corresponding articles and poems.
Li Xi couldn't help but feel embarrassed when he saw it, the more simple and simple life is, the easier it is to give birth to thinkers and writers, and the old saying is really not wrong.
The elves collectively discussed it and asked Li Xi for suggestions, so they selected a few of the best ones from these poems and articles, burned them on wax paper, and handed them to Li Xi with great importance.
Li Xi loaded the wax paper on the mimeograph machine, put the ink, and said with a smile: "Next, you will witness the magic of printing." ”
Put away the white paper and start the mimeograph machine. The printed paper quickly comes out of the mimeograph machine.
"Ahh
Seeing the printed paper flying out of the mimeograph machine, the elves were simply stunned. Although they had long guessed that the use of mimeograph printing would be fast, they never expected that the printing of mimeographing machines would be so fast.
"Haha!" Seeing the stunned appearance of a group of elves, Li Xi couldn't help laughing.
With laughter, he took out the printed paper and distributed it to each of the elves present.
"The printed elven text is perfect. ”
Seeing the elven text printed on white paper, the elves let out one exclamation after another.
Li Xi smiled: "It's a pity, now you haven't mastered papermaking." These blank pieces of paper I have brought from my world. By the time I leave the elf shop, the blank paper will be gone. ”
"What a shame!" Tyrande shook his head and sighed.
The other elves were also sighing, obviously every elf felt that it was a pity that this kind of elven text that had been printed with great difficulty would disappear with Li Xi's departure.
Li Xi said: "If you want to keep these words, then take some white cloth first, and print these words on the white cloth temporarily." ”
