Chapter 605: Printing

Early in the morning, the students of the initiation class were doing morning exercises. The shouts of the children were particularly loud, as if they were about to spit out the breath in their chests. Everyone trained themselves like mud monkeys, drenched in sweat and steaming with a hot steam.

After that, they go into the large new bathroom, clean themselves up, and then prepare for a full day of classes. This is a bathroom equipment planned by someone, and it is a big benefit to everyone. Otherwise, these children would have to endure the smell of sweat on a hot day, and huddle in a small classroom with the teachers, which is all kinds of sourness.

This is also because the painting style of the magicians in the maze takes the wild route, and the mages have to fight for muscle sizes, but they will not necessarily lose to the warriors. Therefore, in the stage of enlightenment, most colleges also pay great attention to children's physical exercise, just like the Orange Fruit Eton College founded by Lin at the beginning.

If they had time, someone would like to get back to the habit of exercising in the morning. After all, the body is your own, and if there is a good one, whether it is an illness or a knife, no one else can do it for you.

However, there was no time to do this today, as soon as Lin entered the academy, he was immediately greeted by the apprentice of the great magician Kabanbai and led people to the mathematics building. Although he is old, he is usually a strong dean of the academy, but today he is a little different. With a hint of apology, and perhaps some anger, he looked at someone who appeared with a little disappointment, and said:

"Your Excellency, I'm sorry, but I can only find ten qualified scribes. If it's really urgent, my students and I can help. But copying books has not been done for a long time, and maybe not as fast as young people. I'd love to find more, but the apprentices who were good at copying seemed to be gone. These people are still the disciples of a few of our old fellows, which is really embarrassing. ”

"Ten, more, more." Lin comforted the old man. He also heard from the words of the great magician Kabambai that there was a hint that someone was stumbling in this regard.

But everyone except Lin had an annoyed look on their faces. They have a lot of disdain for a magician who is not self-sufficient, and old grudges are rekindled.

As long as you are a scribe, it is impossible not to have a grudge against the creator of the forum. Prior to the forum, their main source of income was copying books on magic for the Magicians and the Wizards' Guild.

With the forum, many magicians choose to use the forum files to store magical knowledge. Suddenly, the work of scribes was reduced by more than ninety percent, and many people were forced to choose other dangerous or high-risk jobs. So this time, the great magician Kabanbai temporarily recruited scribes, not only did some people obstruct him behind his back, but those who had experience in copying were also reluctant to come because of a resentment.

These will come, and that's because the great magician Kabanbay or several other magicians from the academy are their own teachers, or teachers' teachers. The division commander has spoken, and he can't help but come. If you don't get killed, you won't have anywhere to get justice.

However, based on past experience, it is not uncommon for books like this to be sold to the general public to be prepared a year or two in advance, and only after accumulating a certain number of copies before they start to be put on the shelves of stores. There is even a situation where you can copy and sell one copy when you finish it. Now there are only seven days left! What can be done? It's not just a time to get a book cover.

Ignoring the disgust on everyone's faces, Lin still learned the style of a leader and shouted at everyone first. "Thank you for coming and helping me with my work in producing a mathematics journal. There are still seven days left, and there is not much room left. But I didn't use the usual way of copying, so I didn't have as much time as you think. The next work, of course, will also use your talents, but it will also require some effort. For all of you, basic apprentice-level magic is fine. It's like a giant force technique, a light object technique. Let me introduce you and let me know you. We still have some time before waiting for my stuff to come. When the stuff arrives, it's time to get busy. ”

Is there any printing in the midi? Yes, of course, but the printing technique is still a very simple engraving printing method. However, the main reason why the printing press did not prevail was that it could not be used in words related to magic.

When transcribing a magic spell or magic circle, even if it is just a note rather than a magic scroll, you should not be sloppy with the carrier and ink. Writing with ordinary ink that can carry power will disappear after a period of time, leaving no traces. Sometimes ordinary paper can't bear it, it is directly brittle, and it will break when touched.

If it is to be used for printing, the ink is a special formula, which is different from ordinary ink. This kind of ink that can be used for printing is also a type that cannot carry power. To this day, magicians have not found ink suitable for both purposes, so the use of printing in the field is limited to the circles of the nobility and the state, that is, the non-magical realm.

However, the power rulers of the lost land still maintain a rather backward idea of foolishness, always thinking that the people must be stupid in order to rule conveniently. After all, due to the sinister natural environment, even the lowest level of the people maintain a certain amount of force, and if the people's wisdom is broadened, these rulers will not live. Therefore, printing is not as good as it is on the earth, and it has a good space for development.

And this is also a misunderstanding in the cognition of most magicians, they are used to copying books, and always think that magic books can only be copied, but they didn't expect that mathematics is not magic......

As soon as they thought about this key clearly, most people's tangled brows loosened a little. Although the printing technique known to the magicians was very poor and difficult to preserve, at least it was a way to get through the current level, and there was nothing to complain about.

Perhaps, things are not as bad as they seem.

With a relatively relaxed mood, the magic apprentices present began to introduce themselves. It's nothing more than the degree of learning from so-and-so, the degree of the rings, what magic content has been copied, and so on.

After everyone finally finished the introduction, Lin said another nonsense that was not nutritious, and Kabanbai had no time to ask: "So what Your Excellency has to wait for now is the engraving for printing?" Don't know how many sets have been completed for this part? ”

There is a limit to the number of times you can use engraving plates for printing, but if you are not interested in this technology, you probably won't know about it. Therefore, the great magician Kabanbai was able to ask this, and his knowledge and knowledge were very profound.

But someone shook his head the same and said, "Engraving? I didn't do anything like that. ”

The great magician who had just crawled out of the quagmire of hell was now feeling as if he had been kicked deeper and destroyed directly. It would take more time to make an engraving that would allow you to print a set of books than it would be to copy it. Now that there is nothing, is it possible to conjure it directly without magic? Could it be that this man has created some new magic, calligraphy, reading and writing, and so on.

The old man with a not very good heart was about to grab someone around him casually, and moan about it, when news came from his student who had become an official magician. "Teacher, there is a team of carriages and horses at the door, and they say they have brought the goods that Lord Tripwood needs. Do you let them in? ”

Because of the previous incident in which the Ombudsman team trespassed and attempted to arrest people, the head of the Kabanbai Academy ordered to strengthen the academy's security level. The trespassers were beaten first and then asked, and if they were not sure that they were captured alive, they would be killed on the spot, and they were completely guarded according to the level of the confidential location.

Therefore, when an outsider who is not from the academy wants to enter, he must pass through the communication, and the permission of any of the three academy administrators, including him, the head of the academy, can enter.

As soon as Lin next to him heard it, he knew that it was the equipment for printing books, and hurriedly said: "That should be the printing equipment sent by the Technology Guild, and the printing paper." I've been waiting for them for a long time, so I invite them in and go directly to the math building to get the goods. ”

In fact, as early as the night six days ago, when he learned that there was a magician's banquet about mathematics, Lin had roughly guessed various possible events and changes, and imagined a way to break the game. The publication of a mathematics journal was one of the plans set at that time. And whether it is used to solve a certain trouble or not, running a journal is beneficial and harmless to a certain traverser.

I have wondered if I can use the convenience of the forum to publish the content of the journal. However, the convenience of the forum has become an obstacle to the intention of establishing an academic authority. Because everyone can speak, and it is not easy to censor the content. In contrast, a physical book on paper can easily do what a forum-based e-book can't.

Now that we have decided to use physical books, it is absolutely not feasible to use the method of copying as in the past under the premise of selling them in large quantities. Not to mention the number of scribes that would have to be hired to achieve the size originally envisioned if it was to be published once a month. At this point, it was no surprise that the tech tree of typography would begin.

As a traverser, when it comes to printing, what comes to someone's eyes is not movable type printing, but Manroland automatic cylinder press......

When I was a child, there was a small printing shop near my hometown, when the distinction between the factory and the home was not obvious. There is a German-made Manroland small automatic cylinder printing machine.

Even old antiques from the Second World War era were rare high-tech products for small and medium-sized enterprises at that time. So it was okay at the time
