Chapter 627: An Interlude in Math Lesson
The Magical Silk Road of the Lost Land is a lot of stuff, but math classes are still worth it, and it's the most important source of income these days.
However, one day, someone who was teaching a math class suddenly felt a strong sense of oppression and crisis. It's like someone is preparing strategic magic around them, intending to have a blast. And this feeling is not only felt by himself, but also by all the magicians in the classroom. Someone even stood up alertly and tried to find the source.
Because the feeling was too strong, everyone quickly determined the direction, and Lin also turned his head to look over. In his special vision, he deduced the distance to the source, which was the location of the printing workshop.
Something happened to the printing press? Someone making trouble?
That was Lin's first thought. Immediately, he performed a flash spell and teleported to the room where the printing press was placed.
Although the machine was not working, there was a chaotic intertwining of powers in mid-air. It was as if multiple sources of magic were out of control at the same time, and their forces interfered with each other, but instead temporarily suppressed the explosion of this power.
But that's definitely not a good thing! It's like a pressure cooker that covers its lid, and when it bursts open, it will only be more powerful.
At this time, other magicians in math class ran into the printing room, and they also saw this dangerous picture.
These veteran magicians are worthy of being experienced, and they have judged that the loss of control has not yet reached the final stage, and there is still a chance to redeem it. So they quickly took out their usual short wands, or other spell-casting mediums, and began to control the out-of-control entanglement of power. Another group of people found the cause of the loss of control.
After the situation happened, Lin who entered first was of course not overwhelmed and stared. It took him a moment to figure out the source of the runaway magic, the Manroland plate on the printing press.
For someone who loves the concept of self-destructing, even if you don't make a red button with a skull mark, you will add an emergency stop switch to the machine. So he immediately snapped the red and blue switches under the console, disconnecting the power supply channel of Manroland Metal, and ejecting the entire print plate from the machine. On the other hand, the running printing press was also forcibly stopped.
The reason for the loss of control was lifted, and the intertwined power was gradually smoothed out under the control of a group of great magicians. After making sure that the destructive power contained in it was slowly dispelled, Lin only then looked at other places.
In the printing room, the doors and windows are in good condition, which can be ruled out from being caused by external intrusion. And the people who were originally in the printing room were also familiar faces. In addition to the few apprentices who assisted in printing the periodicals, the only two magicians were also the direct disciples of the head of the academy, Kabanbai, and there were no strangers that Lin didn't know. So it should be possible to rule out sabotage by outsiders.
However, the two magicians were entrusted by their teachers with the task of researching and printing magic scrolls. Is their mishandling the cause of the loss of control?
When the out-of-control power entanglement in mid-air vanishes without a trace, the printing machine stops completely. The crisis seemed to have been resolved, and everyone had the leisure to watch the situation in the workshop, including the old men huddled outside the door to peep.
The printing press is no stranger to anyone who comes to math class, and a group of people who have discovered the amazing consistency of the journal have long since they found the machine to touch it. At the same time, I know all kinds of data, and even see the actual operation of the printing press. Today, that excitement has long since passed, after all, the printing press is useless to most people, and it is not until today that it has attracted everyone's attention.
A group of people gossiped and talked a lot. Some asked about the printing press, some asked about what had just happened, and some asked what happened. Someone answers everyone one sentence or another, but the whole focus is on why it gets out of control.
"Who is looking for death like this, and actually carved sixteen anti-magic arrays on the magic metal!" An old magician scolded in a loud voice.
At this moment, the crowd gathered around the old magician, and he was referring to the Manroland printing plate that someone had bounced off the machine, and on it was neatly lined with the patterns of sixteen letterpress magic arrays. It's just that now the magic array has been destroyed, and the original Manrolan metal version is no longer flat. Aside from the difference in thickness and slight distortion, the key points of the magic circle are more like being burned.
The long-overdue dean also saw the embarrassing scene in the printing room. In the group led by him, some people thought that they needed to make more preparations for the printing of magic scrolls, but others thought that it would be better to adjust them gradually in the experiment.
It wasn't until recently that he made up his mind to conduct experiments. But I didn't expect that the two students who had originally supported the experiment actually started the first magic scroll trial printing before they arrived, and then made such a scene.
Looking at the broken letterpress reverse magic array on the Manrolan metal plate, the magicians who were working on the subject, or knew that there was such a research topic, all felt heavy in their hearts. Originally, they thought that the difficulty was only to find the right ink and scroll carrier. But if you can't even get a printed version, then the follow-up work can continue.
Picking up the metal plate of Manrolan that had been bounced open, the Great Magician couldn't hide his disappointment and said, "Is it true that the magic scroll can't even be printed?" ”
"If it's a printing press problem, I have a way to solve it." Someone who didn't leave said on the side.
When everyone heard this, they hurriedly asked. On Lin Jiang's metal plate, the magic formation that was originally going to be printed, that is, the magic formation of the spider web technique, was presented in mid-air with a whiteboard pen technique.
This is a popular magic scroll. For groups of adventurers who don't have the power of a mage, or for adventurers who want to retain the power of a mage, spider web is a very useful magic whether it is used as a trap for ambushes or for severing the aftermath. It is not suitable for large-scale battles, but it is very useful in small-scale battles, adventures, and explorations.
As soon as Lin waved his hand, he divided this magic array into more than ten levels. As soon as he let go, these more than ten levels were divided into more than ten floor plans, so that everyone could see them clearly. There was that quick mage, and in an instant he figured out what someone meant.
Looking at the magic formations that have been separated, there are a few drawings of simple line outlines. For the rest of the patterns, each one has only a small part of the rune on it. And the point is that these runes exist on their own, and they will not have any meaning or effect.
"We just need to separate them and print them multiple times, and finally print a complete magic formation. If you want to pay attention to it, it is that the printed version is made of materials that do not contain power, so as to avoid the unexpected effect of the reverse runes on the layout. ”
In order to achieve the effect of automatically changing the layout, the Manroland metal version has a continuous supply of magical powers. It's no surprise that these power supplies will support the full magic circle on the metal board. It's just that no one thought about it until it happened.
Ordinary materials carry magical words, and there is nothing wrong with the power being able to corrode the carrier, but this process does not happen instantaneously, it will take a while to brew, depending on the level of the rune itself.
This should not happen with a simple line outline.
Those who carved some runes, because a small part of the runes do not have a strong magical effect, should not be too corrosive. In other words, the engraved printing plate can be used for a period of time.
The magicians who are working on the research project of printing magic scrolls are not stupid, although they don't know anything about it. Hearing such an idea, people can come up with a lot of suitable improvement options.
Now that we know that the reverse magic array will cause the printing process to get out of control, how many layers to divide for the layered layout, and how to divide them, so as to be able to complete a magic scroll with the least number of processes, is just a branch problem in the study.
Lin said at this time: "Since you want to divide the layout, you can consider which ones can be used as the public version." ”
"What does that mean?" The Great Magician Kabanbai, who was most concerned about this matter, asked.
Without directly explaining, Lin just used the whiteboard pen technique to present another magic formation, and unfolded it with a similar layering method. In the end, you can see that there will be several of the new Magic Formation Exploded Diagrams that are the same as the Spiderweb Exploded Diagram. Lin said: "The magic array for making magic scrolls, the basic forms are those kinds, pentagrams, six-pointed stars, cross-patterned stars, a big circle is finished, and there are several small circles outside the big circle. These carved plates can not only be used on one type of magic scroll, but there may be many kinds of magic scrolls that can come in handy. Then in the preparation of printing magic scrolls, it can be reduced a lot, because some things are universal. ”
This is actually a concept similar to movable type printing, except that someone does not provide one or two words, nor does it put these words on a layout and print them in one go.
The new idea made everyone feel quite excited, as if the work was progressing a lot. At this time, Lin put forward another idea, saying: "If we print separately, maybe there can be a new research direction." It's a magic scroll, which ones can be printed and which ones can't. ”
"What does that mean?" Kabanbai asked.
"Maybe everyone thinks that they can make magic scrolls with printing in one go. But have you ever thought that if you don't think about doing it all in one step, you just want it to be easier than the original production method? In this case, we only need to find the parts that can be successfully preserved by printing, and finally the maker will supplement the rest to complete the magic scroll. The advantage of using machines is to standardize and unify, and the remaining parts that require spirituality are given by people. Doing so shortens the production time and reduces the chance of making mistakes and failing. As long as we can do this, we can actually be considered a step forward in the road of printing magic scrolls. ”
Now everyone didn't say anything, and the great magician Kabanbai directly hooked Lin's shoulder and asked, "Xiao Gai, you really don't plan to come and help me print the magic scroll?" ”
After laughing dryly, Lin said, "Headmaster, for the machine part, I can help with some ideas and ideas." But other materials are not what I'm good at. And I've got something on my toes. ”
I heard that a certain math master recently changed his sex, stopped studying mathematics, and raised a bunch of magic moths to play. Considering that the leader seems to be the other one, since knowing the truth about the resurrection of that one, Kabanbai really doesn't have the courage to rob someone with a demon king.
