Click-click.

The fair-skinned and slender fingers landed on the metal buttons, and the crisp sound of mechanical keys resounded on the second floor.

Windsor stood in her office, surprised by the constant mechanical noises in her ears.

Next to her, Alan was operating a mechanical typewriter made by the blacksmith, and with each finger press, after a complex mechanical movement, the typewriter automatically left black marks on the white paper.

The typewriter is large, more than 50 centimeters long and wide, and has a bulky pure metal appearance, which contains many delicate small devices.

In order to miniaturize the typewriter, Abel made a lot of efforts without success, and only according to Allen's design drawings can he build a typewriter that is closely connected.

In addition to these two, there were other blacksmiths in the room, and some idle officials.

They took a long breath and watched how the typewriter was used.

"Master Allen, can you give me a try?"

She had been listening to the sound of typing for half an hour, and she had already been attracted by the magic of the typewriter.

By pressing specific letters with your own hands, you can type the universal script of Lionheart, and the codeword speed peaks up to four characters per second.

As long as you play ten fingers in a row, your hand speed is fast enough to soar to 24 crosses in one minute, and 14,400 words in one hour, which can be called god speed.

That's several times faster than just handwriting, and Windsor is looking forward to having such an item on her desk.

"Yes, but do you remember the structure of the text for each key?" Alan put down his slightly sore hands and exhaled softly.

This typewriter has been optimized by him, using the best available technology to create a typewriter with smooth key response, clear typing, and typed text in Lionheart's common script.

Their common script was cuneiform, with a diagonal hook and apostrophe, so it took a lot of time to make the corresponding typeface.

Allen's invention of the typewriter keystroke technique is based on the five-stroke typing method, and the root of each key is redefined by Allen.

The typewriter goes through the combined mechanical movement of multiple keys to accurately determine the key letter of each word, and each word needs to be pressed to determine a word.

Why is it so troublesome to set?,Because this thing is not a computer.,I can't see the word selection box of the input method.,It's impossible to press 1 press 2 press 3 with your eyes closed,So each text needs to be hit with a fixed letter combination,So as not to hit the wrong word。

In addition, when typing a typo, you can press the backspace key, and the typewriter will paint a small black color grid to cover up the wrong text, and then type.

It can be said that there is a certain threshold for this thing, and the user needs to memorize the root of each key, as well as the spelling rules.

"Uh-huh, remember."

Windsor had memorized the root list all morning, and she had already memorized it well, and even memorized it backwards.

Spelling with the root of the word was no problem, Windsor rehearsed on paper, writing more than 300 lines of text in a row, as well as the letters that needed to be hammered behind each word.

Alan left his seat, and the other onlookers also wanted to sit in their seats and try the typewriter, but they didn't have enough brains to let the deputy mayor try it first.

"This typewriter was invented, and it was obviously difficult to use, but I didn't expect Lord Allen to use it so skillfully, and I took it." The great blacksmith was convinced.

As a typewriter and a typewriter, Abel knew that the small typewriter contained thousands of key combinations, and if he wanted to memorize so many combinations, he would not have been able to memorize them for more than a month.

Only a big bull like Allen can get a typewriter and get started immediately.

Windsor held down the medium-length black skirt and placed her little butt on the office chair where Alan was sitting, and the cat's tail suddenly poked its head out in the shape of a question mark behind her.

Windsor was nervous, rubbed her hands together, replaced them with a white piece of paper, and put her hands on the typewriter.

"IJL Space, Winn, AIIT Space, Sha ......" Windsor moved slowly, muttering the order of the keys while staring at the white paper.

Each time a key is pressed, the typewriter's axis rings, and as the spacebar falls, the typewriter instantly types out a Lionheart script, and then the spring structure automatically pops the typing stick back.

"Wow, Lord Windsor has made it."

"It's amazing, can you use it as long as you memorize the root list?"

"No, you still need to understand the spelling rules." Alan rolled his eyes.

The cat-eared orcs scratched their heads and made a hey sound, "I'm trying, I'm trying." ”

Click, click, Windsor is slow to type, but it is better to be stable, Alan believes that Windsor has mastered the method of typing, and then as long as he practices more, he can use the typewriter to type.

"Abel, let the blacksmith shop build a few more."

"Ahem, Lord Allen, I've drained a lot of manpower just to make this typewriter, and now that this thing is only used by you, are you sure you want to continue to stop forging tasks for certain items?" Abel feigned coughing.

To be honest, this kind of precision utensils are very troublesome to make, Abel feels that it is enough to make it once, and there is a waste of manpower in making it again.

You must know that Tomorrow Town is now in an important period of development, and before the old king's army is overwhelmed, the more weapons the better.

Besides, the design drawings of the rifling machine have been sent to the blacksmith shop, and Abel is planning to build a new machine tool after making a typewriter, so how can he bother to make a thankless typewriter.

"Well, you're right, this thing isn't in demand right now, let's make up for the missing task first."

Alan also remembered that during this period, some of the manpower of the blacksmith shop was transferred, so that their work at hand was temporarily stopped and the progress was interrupted.

Now is not the time to develop other miscellaneous categories, only by raising the armed forces, tomorrow town can have a development guarantee, Alan waved his hand, let Abel go back to make the machine tool for pulling the rifle.

The word rifled is more high-end than the smoothbore.

If the musket is rifled, the bullet will be discharged in a spiral rotation pattern, with greater accuracy and a longer range.

The same is true for artillery, if there is rifling technology, the range is longer and more accurate, and then the war will gradually evolve into a war in which the enemy is invisible, but the enemy is already covered by artillery.

Windsor watched Abel go back, looking at the typewriter with reluctance, not knowing when she would be able to own such a strange typing object.

"Don't worry, in the future, when the territory's production capacity increases, you will also have your own typewriter." Seeing Windsor's deflated expression, Alan unconsciously touched Windsor's head, the two cat ears were very soft and fluffy.
