Chapter 126: The Strongest Printing Equipment

[Ran^ζ–‡^Library][]. []. Unlike sake brewing and oil extraction, Takeshi knew nothing about the printing technology and equipment of the 21st century before he crossed over, and he had never even seen it. 【For more exciting, please visit】

And this movable type printing technique Wu Zhi only knows a rough idea, and does not know how to operate it.

Now that Wu Zhi wanted to print newspapers in large quantities, he had to slowly explore it himself, study and discuss with Kim Dajian, and try to design a device that could print 300,000 newspapers in a short time.

As for Wu Zhi's newspaper concept, Jin Dajian sighed and admired it for a while, but when he heard that Wu Zhi wanted to study the printing equipment that could print up to 300,000 newspapers in a few hours, Jin Dajian was surprised and made it clear that this was a fantasy!

Because 300,000 copies of the newspaper, even if it is six open, the amount of printing has exceeded the amount of printing in a month, you know, after the engraving is completed, if only a single copy is printed, the efficiency is very high, so 300,000 copies a month is already the limit.

So Kim Dajian firmly believes that Wu Sik thinks too much and is too layman.

Wu Zhi didn't explain much about Jin Dajian's denial, anyway, he is the boss, no matter what he does, Jin Dajian must obediently obey, in fact, Wu Zhi doesn't need Jin Dajian to do anything, just ask him some technical questions when designing drawings.

For whether so many newspapers can be printed in a short period of time, Wu Zhi is confident, although the later generations are machine printing, but simplified to the end, but the power source is different, although there is no electricity in this era, but Wu Zhi has money, there is no electricity to drive the equipment, Wu Zhi can hire people to shake and turn!

Solve the power problem, the rest is a step-by-step design, although Wu Zhi does not know what the printing equipment of later generations is like, but the concept in his mind is still nearly a thousand years ahead of this era, that is, the assembly line division of labor.

Printing like a running water, even if one printing process can't reach 300,000, what about ten sets, twenty sets?

Finally, after more than a month of unremitting exploration by Wu Zhi, he finally designed a set of rough equipment drawings for the printing process.

"Master Jin, I have already designed the new printing equipment and process in our printing house, can you see how many sets of newspapers will be needed to print 300,000 newspapers in a few hours if the construction is completed?" After Wu Zhi's drawings were completed, he immediately asked Jin Dajian for the first time.

"Daguan, you are a layman, you don't understand what the concept of 300,000 is, hey! Impossible! Jin Dajian took the drawings, and before he could read them, he began to persuade Wu Zhi again.

"Hehe, can you help me take a look!"

"Alas~"

Jin Dajian shook his head again, unfolded the drawings in his hand, and looked at them reluctantly.

Wu Zhi looked at Jin Dajian carefully, he wanted to see how wonderful Jin Dajian's expression would be after he understood the drawings.

Even if Wu Zhi is a layman, he still has some basic knowledge of physics, and the drawings he designed himself may be unreasonable, but he still has a good idea of how efficient it is.

Jin Dajian looked at it reluctantly at first, and after looking at it for a while, he looked at the drawings carefully, and after a cup of tea, Jin Dajian's brows furrowed tightly, and the hand holding the drawings had begun to tremble slightly, until finally, Jin Dajian sat on the chair as if he was prostration, and looked at Wu Zhi's eyes as if he was looking at a monster.

"How? Master Jin, you say, if such a set of equipment is built according to the drawings, how many sets will it take to print 300,000 newspapers in a few hours? Wu Zhi slowly picked up the drawings in Jin Dajian's hand and said leisurely.

"To ...... Ten sets are fine! Jin Dajian affirmed, and then he looked at Wu Zhi with complicated eyes, and there was actually a bit of fanaticism in the complexity: "Big official, how did you come up with this kind of printing process like a busy traffic, it's amazing!" Too...... I'm convinced! Completely convinced! ”

"Pity me, I persuaded the officials to give up before...... It's really a mouse's eye! Alas! Jin Dajian smiled bitterly.

"It's okay, except for me, no one in the whole Song Dynasty can think of this idea, why should you blame yourself? Ha ha! Wu Zhi waved at him.

Wu Zhi's printing equipment is actually not complicated, as Jin Dajian said, this is a set of "busy" type printing equipment.

The traditional printing of this era is the use of templates, even if it is printed with movable type, it is also necessary to arrange the movable type on the template before it can be printed, the template is fixed, and the printing workers brush a layer of prepared black ink paint on the template, and then use paper to spread on it to rub.

There is really nothing to improve in this kind of printing process, and to print 300,000 copies, it will take more than a month at the earliest.

But Wu Zhi is Wu Zhi after all, and he pioneered the design of the printed template into a cylindrical shape!

In this way, as long as the movable type is inlaid on the cylindrical template, as long as it is constantly scrolled on the white paper, the printed matter can be continuously "spit out".

Of course, the general principle is like this, of course, Wu Zhi's design is much more perfect, first of all, to design a printing equipment frame, divided into four layers, two layers above, two layers below. The first layer of the upper two layers is a cylindrical template, and the cylindrical template is a device specially for coating the template, so that as long as the white paper passes under the cylindrical template, the cylindrical template rotates at the same time, and it can be printed and inked at the same time!

The newspaper is divided into front and back, and the lower two layers are also a cylindrical template and an inking device, just like the above, just to print the reverse side of the newspaper.

As for the power aspect, it is easy to do, Wu Zhi spent a lot of effort to design the upper and lower layers of cylindrical templates with a figure-out track or gear, as long as someone keeps rotating the starting power shaft like a windmill, then the entire printing equipment will continue to automatically print newspapers!

This is called a semi-automatic printing machine - produced by Wu Zhi.

Of course, in order to prevent the leakage of core technology, Wu Zhi deliberately designed an iron box to cover all the positions of the cylindrical stencil printing, as long as the long white paper is sent into the iron box, then the spit out is the newspaper, as long as the ingredients are cut after the later process, it is complete!

The speed of printing of this equipment depends on the speed of the worker's shaft, but it is slow, and the efficiency is more than ten times higher than the previous one.

Wu Zhi didn't know what the printing equipment was like in later generations, but there was no doubt that his equipment was definitely the best in this era!

Wu Zhi's knowledge is limited, and many advanced technologies or knowledge for later generations cannot be well brought to this era, but Wu Zhi doesn't need to hand over the perfect technology or anything else in this era as soon as he comes up, just like stir-fry technology, Wu Zhi is a half-informed leader, but now, not only has there been a top-level chef like Pan Jinlian, but also a few good home-cooked dishes that can be fried in ordinary restaurants or people's homes.

Wu Zhi is also secretly proud, although he is a scumbag, but those half-baked knowledge is enough to enlighten the smart people of this era to develop gradually.

……

"Great official, this set of equipment is exquisitely constructed, once it is made, it will definitely increase the number of printing tenfold and hundredfold!" After Jin Dajian finished admiring, he was a little worried: "It's just that the requirements of this kind of instrument structure for various fragments must not be the slightest difference, otherwise once there is the slightest deviation, then the printed things will be all waste!" ”

Wu Zhi nodded and said, "Master Jin is really an expert, and he is right, this kind of equipment must be very precise when it is built!" ”

"But the big official, as far as I know, there are not many blacksmiths with this kind of craftsmanship in our Great Song Dynasty, and there are those small parts such as bearings, which may not be able to be created by blacksmiths!" Jin Dajian frowned.

"Haha, there are not many blacksmiths in our Great Song Dynasty who have this kind of top-notch craftsmanship, but I happen to know a blacksmith who can make them all, and ......" Wu Zhi continued with a mysterious smile: "And he is in our Qingzhou!" ”

- Golden Leopard Tang Long!

……

After revising the drawings with Kim Dae-jian, Wu Sik found Tang Long.

Tang Long saw that Wu Zhi still paid a big salute, and Wu Zhi was not polite to him, and as soon as they met, he directly told him about this blacksmith shop, and I Wu Zhi contracted!

Of course, the contract for a period of time is to build printing equipment, Tang Long didn't say much, he agreed without thinking about it, after seeing Wu Zhi's drawings, Rao is Tang Long also secretly frowned, although this martial arts official always takes some strange things for him to build, but these things all require high technology and craftsmanship to build, which is very challenging for him.

People who are obsessed with a certain craft like to challenge the most!

Close the shop and strike the iron!

……

On this day, Wu Zhi was helping Jin Lian to take a walk in the sun in the garden, Xue'er and Sanniang were also chatting and joking together, it was already spring, their clothes were soft and scarce, speaking of which, Wu Zhi was the first time to see this kind of women's spring clothes of the Song Dynasty, which was called a beauty!

The most orthodox women's Hanfu was developed into the peak of the Song Dynasty! In later generations, the Ming Dynasty had that kind of almost perverted etiquette and religious constraints, and women's clothing became increasingly closed and rigid; And the clothes of the Tang Dynasty in front of him are too open, and they are embarrassed to go out without revealing ****, of course, Wu Zhi likes Tang Dynasty women's clothing, but I have to admit that only Song Dynasty women's clothing is the best-looking.

The cloth of the women's clothes in the Song Dynasty has been much richer than that of the Tang Dynasty, and the silk tulle has entered the homes of ordinary people, and the Song Dynasty is thin and beautiful, and the women's clothing is designed to dance lightly. The sleeves are intertwined with silk mixed with white yarn, as soft and changeable as a cloud, this kind of Luo skirt and cloud dress on the body outlines the woman's figure, and reflects the woman's tender water-like characteristics, which is really very eye-catching!

……

"Big brother, Uncle Zhang is coming to you, in the front hall."

Wu Zhi was intoxicated by this spring Hanfu, and Xiao Taoyue jumped in at the entrance of the garden to report a message.

Wu Zhi is full of black lines, Uncle Zhang in Taoyue's mouth is Zhang Tong, this Taoyue can't tell the generation, she is called by feeling, she is called Brother Wu Zhi, Aunt Jin Lian and Sanniang, Sister Xue'er, Grandpa Jiang Jing, and Mr. Xiao Rang...... The whole thing was messed up by her.

"Got it...... You're here to help your Aunt Jinlian......"

She couldn't remember what Wu Zhi taught her, so she simply came.

After handing over the golden lotus to Xue'er and them, Wu Zhi came to the front hall, where Zhang Tongzheng was sitting with a happy face, and a gift box was placed next to him.

Wu Zhi secretly wondered, he has been made big by rumors recently, could it be that something good is about to happen?
