Chapter 82: After using up the four major inventions, I feel a little weak
Seeing that everyone shook their heads, without even guessing what they meant, Casio felt that he was really flattering to the blind man. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
So, he stopped pretending to be mysterious, and placed the wooden box in the middle of the table to reveal the mystery!
As the wooden box opened, Dains and the others craned their necks to see what was inside.
However, I saw that inside this rather large wooden box, there was a distribution of nine-square grids, and small wooden blocks slightly smaller than the index finger were evenly distributed in each nine-square grid, which happened to be stuck in it.
And on each small wooden block, there are carved words one by one, highlighting the top of the small wooden block.
Everyone looked at this strange thing and looked at each other, and they were a little confused.
"Your Royal Highness, what is this? Could it be Rong Diao?"
Rong carving is a kind of ancient carving of a certain article on some wood or stone slab, and then as a kind of object to praise merit.
Items like this are usually given some kind of honor, and they are also a status symbol given by the king or the temple.
But they don't understand, what does Casio mean by taking out a glorious carving?
And if you look closely, the words on those small wooden blocks don't seem to look like Rong carvings. Because most of the Rong carvings will have the family emblem of the honored family, those small wooden pieces do not look like they are patterned.
Casio shook his finger and smiled mysteriously, and didn't explain much, but directly operated in front of everyone.
Everyone saw Casio take out a wool brush, smear it with ink in the ink he had prepared in advance, and spread it evenly on top of the small wooden blocks.
Then, Casio took a piece of paper, lightly covered it, and used another clean wool brush to carefully brush it back and forth several times on the surface of the paper.
Finally, when Casio opened the paper, it was already printed with lines and columns of neat text.
The matter didn't end there, Casio used a knife to split the text into nine parts according to the original nine-square grid distribution, and when the ink was dry, he stacked the nine smaller pieces of paper together.
After doing this, Casio did the same and made two more copies of this in a row.
"Look at it!" Casio handed the three manuscripts to Maester Dain.
Bachelor Dain and the others took the manuscript paper and looked at it, the content on the manuscript paper was nothing unusual, just a piece of poetry.
Everyone passed the three manuscripts to each other to watch, and in the end, everyone who had obviously realized what was going on suddenly had strange expressions on their faces.
Obviously shocked, but really relieved, it's really weird!
"Your Highness, what is this?" asked Maester Dain, who had clearly understood the purpose of this thing.
Obviously, what he wanted to know was the name and principle of this thing.
Casio no longer sells off, and immediately explained: "That's right, every text on this thing can be disassembled separately and reassembled according to your own wishes." ”
Casio said as he showed it to them.
"By disassembling and combining different texts, the content of all the books can be arranged. Then, just by doing what I just did, I was able to copy the content of a book in a short period of time. ”
When Casio finished explaining, everyone was silent. Even Azka looked at the wooden box on the table with a dull expression.
Azka could still keep smiling because of his personal involvement in papermaking, but in the turn of his head, Casio came up with another great invention that was no less great than papermaking, and Azka felt that his mind was a little messed up now.
At this time, not only Azca, but everyone except Casio felt like a retarded at this moment.
After an eerie silence, Tony, who had not spoken much, finally asked first: "Your Royal Highness, what is its name?"
"Movable type!" Casio didn't blush at all when he said the name now, and it was natural to get used to it.
"You're such a great man!" Tony said dryly.
In fact, none of them could have found any words to praise the movable type printing that Casio had "invented".
They are all people who have read books more or less, and naturally know that in the current world of ancient Reia, the inheritance and entry of books are all copied word by word by a special transcriber.
This method is not only extremely inefficient, but even because people are tired, there will be a lot of typos, as well as a variety of different pen styles and other problems.
But the movable type printing that Casio had just shown them had once again shattered their preconceived notions, allowing them to see a whole new world that was slowly opening up before their eyes.
It only took a few minutes for Casio to print the three poems just now, and this kind of efficiency is simply appalling!
"You see, papermaking, combined with movable type printing, can greatly increase the production of books. And once there are more books, more people will naturally buy them, and at that time, it will promote the sale of paper. ”
Casio raised his eyebrows mischievously, which shows how happy he is right now to make such a naughty expression.
The reason why Casio introduced movable type printing immediately after the papermaking process also has its own considerations.
As he said, there is no shortage of people in the world of Gurea who buy books, what is lacking is the number of books.
When he combined papermaking with movable type printing, the lack of books would be slowly solved, and in the process, the sales of paper in the entire Gurea would be doubled.
That's still the lowest estimate!
Another consideration is that the production method of movable type printing is not difficult, and even as long as you read it once, as long as you are not mentally retarded, you can make a copy.
The really hard part of this thing is to generate this kind of thinking and come up with this solution!
Therefore, Casio finally decided to bundle these two great inventions from his homeland, so that they can play the effect that one plus one is far from equal to two.
With Casio's move, the entire process of ancient civilization will advance by at least a thousand years.
This is by no means an exaggeration, knowing that it takes much longer to generate an idea that advances across generations than it takes to realize it!
What's more, Casio directly even gave the result!
Papermaking and movable type printing will be the first step for Casio to truly use itself to drive the entire process of ancient civilization in ancient times!
This will be a revolutionary progress and breakthrough that will be remembered in the annals of the entire Gurea annals!
But at this time, Casio, who was about to promote the spread and progress of the civilization of the entire Gurea society, couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Suddenly a little weak-hearted, I used up two of the four major inventions that the motherland had accumulated for thousands of years!"
