Chapter 135: Movable Type Printing

In one room, dozens of craftsmen are busy.

Holding a wooden board with a good texture in one hand and a carving knife in the other, they are working hard to carve, these people are not dwarves, but the carving process in their hands is not weak at all.

There are also people who are ingenious in human beings.

In front of them, a blank piece of paper with words written and strange symbols drawn was exactly what Li Longxuan had written last night.

Li Longxuan wrote and painted more than a dozen in one night, but the number of researchers is constantly increasing, and now there are more than 100 people, and a dozen or so are only a book, and each of the 100 or so people can turn them over once, and they can only be turned over in a day.

Therefore, Li Longxuan wants everyone to print what they have written, and if you want to print something, you must have a printing plate, and these dozen craftsmen are engraving the plate.

If you want to do a good job, you don't have to take a knife to chop and cut it, you have to slowly engrave it little by little, and it is engraved against the font, which requires a certain amount of experience to be able to engrave it.

Li Longxuan slept beautifully, and when the sun was about to set, Li Longxuan finally got up, and after eating, he came to the room where these craftsmen were.

At this time, the template carved by everyone is nearing the end, as long as it is changed in the cultivation, it can be printed.

Li Shaolong walked in, and everyone quickly stood up, nodded and smiled slightly, which could be regarded as a tribute to His Royal Highness.

"Can it be printed?" asked Li Shaolong with a slight smile.

"Your Highness, rest assured, it will be printed tonight, and tomorrow a hundred books will definitely be sent to the hands of all scientists. A craftsman said with a smile. Of course, they don't know what a scientist is, but when they see Li Longxuan, they often say that everyone is a scientist, so they follow along.

"Great, then I'll be diligent with you. Li Longxuan smiled slightly, then looked at everyone, saw the templates in everyone's hands, and hurriedly took one of the templates.

"Is this the template for printing? It's good, but I have a better way. Li Longxuan said with a slight smile.

When he saw these wood-carved templates, Li Longxuan immediately thought of Bi Sheng! No, he thought of movable type printing! Of course, if there was no Bi Sheng, there would be no movable type printing.

That's right, movable type!

A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, if he had movable type printing, then he could quote as many books as he wanted to print in the future, and he could get as many books as he wanted.

Especially the Bible I wrote, I can print as many as I want, and I can develop a large number of believers, and I am extremely excited to think about Li Longxuan.

Hey, it's really stupid for me to think about movable type printing now!

Hearing Li Longxuan's words, all the craftsmen gathered around this side curiously.

"Your Highness, what kind of method are you talking about, can it be better than the template we carved?" a craftsman couldn't help asking, the folk customs of Cold Bone City are still quite open, and Li Longxuan doesn't like to put on a show, so everyone is still quite bold in front of him.

"Your Highness, do you have another new idea?" asked another craftsman.

"Your Highness, just say it, I'm really anxious. ”

"Your Highness's talent is not something we can imagine, I believe that Your Highness has a better way to print, and please tell us about it. ”

“......”

"Hehe, I don't have anything else, but I still have the method of printing!" Li Longxuan smiled proudly and said lightly: "You say, if we use iron to make words and symbols one by one, when we use them, we put the words and symbols in a wooden frame, and then put some things like pine resin to fix them, it is a good template." And after using it, we can recover those metal words when we heat it, and we can use it again when we print it next time......" Li Longxuan hurriedly told a few people about the manufacture and usage of movable type printing, and everyone couldn't help but smile when they heard it.

"Your Royal Highness, this method is good, this method is good!" a craftsman slapped his thigh and said happily: "This method is good, this method is good! I can't think of this method, ouch!"

"This method can not only save the time of engraving, but also can be used many times, good, good!"

"Your Highness is talented, Your Highness is talented, and only His Highness can think of such a wonderful way. ”

“......”

Everyone said one after another, and came to pat Li Longxuan's buttocks, listening to everyone's words, Li Longxuan couldn't help but feel a little fluttery, no wonder those in power like their subordinates to pat their own ass, I have to say, this fart shoots, it feels so cool.

However, I stole Bi Sheng's old ancestor's movable type printing technique, and my ancestor shouldn't ask me for copyright fees, right? Thinking about it, I am also helping my ancestor to carry forward his movable type printing technique, and even more so to carry forward the great Chinese spirit, Li Longxuan secretly comforted himself.

Anyway, I pirated so many people's things, and I didn't see them come to me for revenge, I guess it's okay, there are more pirated copies, and Li Longxuan is bolder. Anyway, what the world says and does, everyone thinks is their own, so that's their own.

"Let's print what we need first, and I'll find someone who has time to get movable type printing." Li Longxuan said with a slight smile.

Of course, this matter is not a matter of sycophancy, these Li Longxuan hurriedly went to some blacksmiths, asked them to make some words, and then found some candles, and made the world's first printing version of movable type printing.

While the craftsmen were brushing books on electricity, Li Longxuan was also experimenting with his movable type printing, which was a great pleasure. Bi Sheng invented movable type printing, which has been famous for thousands of years, and he pirated his movable type printing technology, will he also be able to be famous through the ages?

Thinking about it, Li Longxuan couldn't help but feel a burst of excitement, hehe......

Bi Sheng?-Ancient Chinese Scientist?

Bi Sheng (year of birth and death unknown), Northern Song Dynasty cloth. A native of Yingshan County, Hubei. At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, he carved for the bookstore. During the reign of Song Qingli (1041-1048), he invented the printing technology of cement movable type based on practical experience. Before this technology could be promoted, Bi Sheng died. His handprint is collected by Shen Kuo's family, and his deeds can be found in "Mengxi Bi Tan" volume 18. Movable type printing has the advantages of multi-purpose, reuse, printing more and faster, saving time and effort, saving materials, etc., which has a qualitative leap compared with engraving printing, and has a huge and far-reaching impact on the progress of printing technology and even world civilization in later generations. In 1989, Bi Sheng's tombstone was found in Yingshan County, Hubei.
