The reason why Lin attaches so much importance to this matter is because even if he wrote Chinese in the past, even if he wrote a wrong word, other people who read it could infer the correct meaning from the context before and after, and the wrong word would not affect reading at all.

There is a similar situation in the pinyin script of Midi. In addition to typos, pinyin characters can also use each root word to create new words to describe a new thing. But this new character is not written casually, other readers can understand, it has certain rules for making words.

He is not a linguist who is obsessed, and Lin Ke does not dare to guarantee that there will be such low-level errors in his manuscript. If it's a normal correspondence, or to show it to your apprentices and other people close to you, it's okay to make a typo, anyway, you can read it. Even if you can't understand it, it's nothing to ask.

But now that it's a serious publication, typos can only undermine the journal's authority, and if you can avoid it, you can avoid it.

The best way, of course, is to ask a professional to come. It is believed that for the sake of money, these ten apprentices will not have to deal with the business casually.

After tidying up the math building, a room that had been used as a rest room for Lin, the only math lecturer, and a workplace for ten proofreaders, Lin returned to the original classroom where the printing press was placed. Today, it has been renamed the Printing Workshop.

Uzov Gantia and the craftsmen supported by the Technical Guild have left. As for the fees to be paid by Lin, Uzov will handle it on his behalf, after all, the technical guild has its own large dividends that have not yet been withdrawn. Someone's intention was also to put the money in the guild, as one of the capitals that Uzov would use, and at a time like this. This saves time in carrying coins.

As for financial institutions such as banks, someone still doesn't want to touch them, and they don't even want to mention them. It was a financial monster that was irreversible after it was released. In this world of gods, someone doesn't want to touch someone's moldy head and get into trouble.

In the printing room, only the head of the academy and a few magicians were left, curiously gathered around the machine, feeling around. There are also people who are touching the large stacks of fully open white paper, as if they are pondering something.

And, of course, the sword that someone hadn't taken with him, and he was happily chatting with everyone. But obviously, everyone is a little far away from the box. It's not that everyone isn't curious about this sword, or that they deliberately don't approach this sword in order to show someone to avoid suspicion, everyone is purely scared.

The 'fine' reputation of the Chikiri clan is not so strange to the mages of the Holy City, especially those of their status. No one is unwary of a weapon that can peer into the bearer's heart, but at least the other box cuts can't speak. However, the sword can speak, and that is enough devastating news for any wielder.

Even if this box cut didn't blurt out someone's secret, everyone tacitly agreed not to spy on it. For those who dare to hold this sword, no one wants to give themselves an excuse to be inserted into the sword. So these conversations are more of unnutritious social rhetoric.

As soon as Lin entered the door, he didn't care what the atmosphere was here, and said directly: "Dean, thank you for agreeing to use a lecturer's lounge as a workshop for proofreading. ”

Although Lin is the only lecturer in the mathematics building, the property in the academy still belongs to the dean, and nothing can be done to bypass this old man.

The reason why I didn't look for other classrooms or break rooms was because in the room that was supposed to be used by someone, the furniture was ready-made, and if you moved it a little, you could work. The other rooms were still empty, so I had to sit on the floor very hard.

"Xiao Gai, come here, come here, teach me how to use this." The Grand Magician Kabanbay called someone affectionately, not hiding his curiosity about the printing press at all, pointing to the control panel whose interface had been locked by a code.

Unlocked the console, Lin explained to the old man a little about the principle of the linkage and operation of the various parts of the printing press. The reason why I dared to leave the parts of the machine to be made by the people of the Technical Guild, instead of going to great lengths to do it myself, was because the procedures for controlling the printing were written by themselves.

Even if others imitate it, without this program control, at least half of the martial arts of the printing press will be wasted. If nothing else, the printing plate alone has to go back to the old way of engraving. I don't even have a movable type version.

Even if someone else imitates a machine, the time required to prepare the engraving and change the plate during printing is more than doubled. Of course, even so, compared to the original printing technology of Midi, it is still an unimaginable big leap.

The control program on the machine, in addition to the automatic pagination and typesetting of the input text file, can also make some simple editing and modification. So anyone who wants to print a book or a flyer or something like that just needs to put the magic stone with the text file stored in it in a special control slot for easy reading. Goshoya

As for the newspapers...... The forums are all there, who reads the newspapers?

Although the information on the forum is unsorted and quite messy. However, newspapers are destined to not take the high-price route, and can only rely on low prices and sales to open up the situation. For some people who are not afraid of trouble and even like to visit forums, newspapers have no appeal. Therefore, as early as the birth of the forum, there was no soil for newspapers.

But looking at this machine, the first question that the great magician Kabambai asked was to ask, "Is there a way to print magic scrolls or magic books?" ”

"Unfortunately, no." The other party asked crisply, and Lin also answered neatly: "That old problem still hasn't been solved, and there is still ink on paper." ”

"I don't see any restrictions on the ink supply tank on this press. Or do you not have a good grasp of the ink recipe and material source? Kabambi asked, unrelentingly

After thinking about it, Lin still decided to say on the back: "Captain, I won't tell you anything, I have also done research on printing magic characters. I've discovered that even writing even the most ordinary magical words draws magical power from the writer, just like making a magic scroll. It's just that the process of making the scroll must be more refined, and there are also requirements for the mental state of the maker, and there is even the possibility of failure. ”

"You mean, it's not just about paper and ink, but if you want to use printing, you also need to think about how to input power into the printing process?" The Grand Magician Kabanbay immediately thought of the key point.

And about the fact that there may be a need for power in the process of copying magical knowledge, in fact, magicians also have a faint inference of this. The reason is that it is such a simple writing assignment that no ordinary person can succeed in doing it. You know, this isn't about making magic scrolls.

It's just that the work of copying has long been regarded as a part of the knowledge that magic apprentices have built, and magicians don't want to find an ordinary person who has nothing to do with magic. Over time, it became a matter of course for everyone to copy by an apprentice, and no one bothered to find the reason behind it.

"Yes, as you say. But I don't have a clue how to do that. Even if the method of input power is solved, if you want to use the printing method to make it, whether it is a magic book or a magic scroll, it is necessary to figure out how much power is needed for each rune and each stroke to ensure that the production is completed without exploding uncontrollably. ”

Speaking of the out-of-control situation, it made the magicians present feel distressed. When magic gets out of control, it's not as simple as failure, and the consequences that follow are unpredictable and difficult to prevent. Exploding and devouring oneself are actually small things. The most feared thing is to become a springboard for some kind of extraterritorial invasion of the mysterious land, which is to blame for all deaths.

Lin patted the printing machine and said: "This kind of meticulous work cannot be done by machines, what is needed is the accumulated experience of the maker, and it becomes an instinctive craft." Machines can do simple, repetitive tasks. If you're experienced in making puppets, you know what kind of work you can do to give these stupid guys. ”

When it comes to the technology that everyone is familiar with, the experience of the people present can be said to be richer than Lin. The situation he said, everyone has a lot of relatives. But the great magician Kabambai asked one more question: "What if it is analyzed mathematically?" ”

"It should be fine to analyze it mathematically." Lin shrugged and said, "But at the beginning, I spent the least time analyzing an apprentice-level magic, and I studied it for nearly a month. As for those spells that are too complicated, they don't even dare to touch them. Not to mention that even if it is parsed, it has not yet been mastered how to inject power into machines, and how to cooperate between the two. ”

was poured with a bucket of cold water, and the great magician Kabanbai didn't say how disappointed he was. But after thinking about it, he was relieved. Although this printing machine could not play a greater role, the mathematics journal alone could be published smoothly, and now it seems that a thousand copies in a single issue is not a big problem, and it is incalculable for the academy.

Now he and Kabambai College, although not all of his net worth is gambling on mathematics. But the academic status in the holy city of Estali is vaguely linked by outsiders. It can be said that one is prosperous, and one is lost. Although this is not my intention, it does not seem to be a bad thing to go down this path.

For Lin, the printing press can only print books other than magic, and it is completely different from the magic scroll that can be made. In the eyes of magicians, the former is not of much value, just a convenient tool. What is really valuable is the meaning of the printed words and their contents.

But if the printing press could make magic scrolls, it would rise to the level of a strategic material. What is the meaning of making magic scrolls in large quantities, someone can know it with their knees.

If you really get such a printing magic machine, not to mention the question of whether you can keep it, you can imagine that there will be countless troubles in the future, and there is no end. The most disgusting thing is that the magic scrolls that are made are not sold, nor are they sold, they are a big problem.
