Chapter 652: The Printing Press

In addition to the hillbilly magician, who can survive the troubles of the Empire, another thing that has been discussed by everyone is the evaluation given by the Demon Prince. Is it appropriate for such a person to still hang a thin golden spike line?

Of all the chapters of the Wizards' Guild, the Fest district, where the Holy City of Estali is located, is considered to be the most difficult to obtain 'Grand Magician' recognition.

Don't look at the fact that there are far more archmages operating in Estari than anywhere else, because there are even more mages here. To be recognized in the Fest District, who is not a magician with proud achievements, and at the same time with old experience and qualifications.

So to give this magician who can survive from the hands of the Demon Prince, the second golden spike thread that symbolizes status? If the rumors of surviving against that one are true, there is no doubt about their strength. But when the second golden spike thread was granted for such a reason, the magicians couldn't help but laugh self-deprecatingly.

In addition to relying on merit and strength, it is recognized by everyone as having the qualifications of a great magician, and it is not without other methods. After all, magicians still pay a lot of attention to knowledge, so submitting enough magical knowledge is also a chance to be recognized.

Just like in the history of magicians, there are many people who have been recognized as great magicians because of their knowledge of strategic magic. But usually such a magician has a considerable accumulation of merit and fame in his own right, but he is just missing a kick in the door. Only then did he show his housekeeping skills and won the nod of approval from everyone.

But all in all, it's a way to do it. Therefore, a clerk from the Fest Branch approached Lin, hoping that he could offer a magic that represented his strength enough to convince everyone and successfully obtain the second Golden Spike Line. The reason why this clerk is so active is because the clerk who previously rejected the handing in of mathematical knowledge now does not know which corner he will be assigned to.

For such a request, Lin is of course happy to cooperate. I also know that I don't necessarily need to give out all my skills, but I always have to have a prototype so that people can get started. Historically, those magicians who have handed over strategic magical knowledge have not hidden a hole card when they were alive, but only handed over their skins. If you dare to hand it over completely, you must have more powerful magic in your hands.

Lin didn't hand over all the magic formations carved on his dream tower, because that amount was too much and too complicated. It is complicated to go back and check or change it by yourself, which is quite troublesome. If I hadn't had a good memory now, I wouldn't have figured out what a piece of grammar was doing.

After sorting it out, the magical knowledge handed over was based on the astral movement diagram that was studied during the era of the Great Sage's Tower. Lin did not hand over all the records of the thousands of stars observed, but the 1,579 stars used in astrology, and composed a mysterious version of the astrological chart.

This can be said to be the starting point of all my skills. With this diagram, I kept verifying and modifying my mathematical equations, and then I met the World Tree, which is what I am today. It can also be said that if you don't understand this picture, you don't have to think about the knowledge behind you.

It's just that the result is as I guessed, and no one can understand it. The gray-haired, bearded magicians in math class are still scratching their hair for trigonometric functions, and how many of them can play calculus-based astrophysics?

There are even high-level officials of the Wizards' Guild who want to transfer themselves over and explain. After Lin found the head of Kabanbai Academy, he directly ignored such a request. Just respond with the sentence that I once said publicly, you don't have enough wisdom so you can't understand it, is it my fault?

A few years earlier, Lin would still be interested in the fictitious title of 'Great Magician'. But after reaching a certain age and a certain height, a false name is just a false name, and if it is not replaced by an actual thing, there is actually nothing to pursue.

As the Lich always does, she would never rush to register as a Grand Mage after arriving at a new Mage's Guild section. She also doesn't care what people call her, even though that's only most of the time. dared to call an 'old woman' in front of her, and immediately overborn on the spot. In short, Fen thinks that as long as she has the ability to beat others to the point of calling her mother, it doesn't matter how others call her.

The two golden spike threads of the 'Great Magician' can be easily exchanged for the respect of those who meet for the first time, just like the diplomas of those major universities on the earth. But in the end, to make people admire and admire from the bottom of their hearts, it still depends on what they do. There are many veteran great magicians in Estari, and their titles are more of a matter of course, not something they deliberately pursue.

If you have the right mentality, many things don't matter. In other words, even if you really actively win the title of 'Great Magician', there is actually no real benefit.

My recent focus is still on clothes made of magic silk, which is life-saving equipment. Even if you have the title of 'Great Mage', you won't have title bonuses like the game with +10 Defense and +20 Intelligence.

However, compared with the development of the jacquard machine, the recent printing press has produced quite gratifying results.

The craftsmanship of the Magic Scroll is comparable to the automobile industry in the world of technology in a world on the magic side. Even if it doesn't use the most advanced technology, it is definitely a mainstay product in terms of practicality and economy. Naturally, there will be a lot of accumulation of various skills.

The Manroland printing press, all that improved was the process of making magic scrolls. The materials and types of ink required for the scroll have long been accumulated in the long history of the Lost Land. The task of the head of the Kabanbay Academy is to find the most suitable material for printing, as well as the type of magic scroll.

In this respect, the resources at the disposal of the head of the Kabambai Academy are far from being comparable to that of a minor magician from another place, or a lich who has only been resurrected after a thousand years. Even if the same work is done by Lin himself, it may not be able to get results so quickly, and there may even be no results. A certain partial student is more than 108,000 miles crooked.

Of course, in the process of research, Lin was not completely without contributions. In addition to recommending sectional printing, the most common thing to do was to retrofit the Manroland press in accordance with the needs of the college president.

Just because you don't want to put too much effort into the research of printing magic scrolls doesn't mean you don't want to get a piece of the pie. Rather than letting others study and understand the mechanical structure, and then renovate the printing machine, the head of Kabanbay chose a simpler way, which was to let someone who understood it help them change it.

And the changes that will be made here are like a drizzle compared to the jacquard machine at home. The biggest structural change was the change of the machine to a method that could automatically change multiple printed letterpresses, as well as paper infeed and outlet, and conveyor when proposing segmented printing. In addition, the gap adjustment of the paper feed cylinder makes it suitable for various thick and thin paper or non-paper printing carriers.

But because the vast majority of Manroland presses are made of ordinary metals, any changes are not as easy as the Jacquard machine at home. Therefore, it was necessary to entrust the technical guild set up by Uzov Gantya and complete it by the craftsmen inside.

It takes a lot of time to come and go and change a small part. But as mentioned before, the transformation of the machine is a subtlety in the magic scroll printing process. Whether it is completed or not, there is no such hurry, everyone has more and more important experiments to do.

And the great progress in the magic scroll printing process is certainly not to find a way to print it completely. Instead, it refers to the segmented printing mentioned by someone, and extends this concept to find out the parts of a magic scroll that are not necessarily done by hand, and which parts must be written by hand by the magician or apprentice.

The difference between this is that the ability to cast magic on a complete magic scroll can theoretically be maintained forever as long as it is not used. It's like a magic stone that is not used when it is not used, and the power contained in it will be exchanged with the outside world, leaving a part of it and a part of it being spilled out until the upper limit of the magic stone's storage.

The so-called storage limit is actually a balance between the amount of magic stones and the amount of power exchanged with the outside world. And this upper limit depends on the quality of the magic stone. The higher the quality of the stone, the more power it can store.

This is also the reason why ordinary paper and ordinary ink are difficult to use to make magic scrolls. Because they simply can't retain power, and that energy will in turn become the culprit of the destruction of the vector.

The half-finished product of the magic scroll is like a machine that has not yet formed a circuit and cannot stop running autonomously. This kind of machine will only continue to waste and lose until the energy is close or the machine is damaged. And this process, some fast, some slow.

The reason for the speed is unknown. However, the Magic Scroll Printing Research Group, led by Head Kabambai, hopes to find the parts that dissipate slowly after printing and use them for printing.

Although the reason is still not clear, some conclusions can still be drawn under the sweep of the most primitive research methods of Midi, that is, the exhaustive method and the trial-and-error method. Of course, it is again someone's suggestion to summarize this action. Easy to understand, but great to use.

First of all, line-type runes can last longer than spell-type characters when they exist on their own.

Second, spell texts cannot be overprinted; That is to say, the first printing only prints one letter, the second print two letters, and the third print three letters, in an attempt to prolong the time for the power to overflow. Doing so will cause the magic to spiral out of control, followed by a gorgeous explosion. Therefore, if you want to print the text, you have to print it well, and you can't fool around.

Third, when multiple parts with different holding times are printed on the same carrier, the maintenance time is determined by the shortest one, and is not in any way averaged or weighted average. It's like the capacity of a bucket of water, which depends on the shortest board.

Fourth, some words are not to be printed, and even the reverse engraving on the printing letterpress will have problems! It doesn't matter if the letterpress is made of magic materials or normal materials. And this is the biggest reason why magic scrolls can't be completely detached from manual production.
