Chapter 40: Principles of Industrial Symbols
Zhou Xinming listened with a confused face, not that he couldn't understand what Liang Jianguo was saying, after that month's training, he was already an introduction to modern science.
The key is to use an inkjet printer to draw the symbols? This was indeed a bit too strange, but when he thought about it carefully, he suddenly realized that he was too deeply affected by the Kunlun Realm.
"Academician Liang, I fell into a misunderstanding before, the Kunlun world is still at the level of movable type printing, and there is no computer, so it is indeed impossible to print symbols, but we have technology in Oriental Union, your idea is really good." Zhou Xinming said with sincere appreciation.
"Actually, I first thought of transforming the inkjet printer into a rune drawing machine, it wasn't me, I was still working on the problem of spirit crystals at that time, and I didn't bother with the analysis of runes at all, it was thought of by a researcher in the high-energy physics research group, that is, Academician Sun."
But then they found that this idea involves too many problems in material science, first of all, rune ink is not traditional ink, this thing is a complex composed of desolate beast blood and several kinds of spirit crystals, because of the mixture of a variety of spirit crystals and desolate beast blood, this substance is actually not very stable, and the boiling point is too high. ”
At first, they considered the traditional hot bubble technology, but later they found that the heating resistance could not vaporize part of the rune ink in the nozzle pipe, and if the temperature was too high, it would cause some unknown chemical change in the rune ink, because the molecular structure change lost its magical properties, and even the printed rune could not be used. ”
Zhou Xinming thought for a while and said: "I know this, if the bubble printer does not form bubbles, it will not be able to eject the ink at the nozzle, and the temperature is too high and the color authenticity will be affected. ”
"That's right, so they set their sights on piezoelectric inkjet technology again, trying to control the ink injection through voltage deformation, this method is more effective than the previous one, but they found a strange problem, that is, although the final result is perfect, but it can't be used."
So their research team brought me, who was engaged in applied physics, to me, and it happened that our research on spirit crystals was in a bottleneck at that time, so I wanted to see if the combination of rune ink and spirit paper would give me any inspiration, so I cooperated with them on this project. ”
"Later, according to the sample comparison and other means, it was found that it was the problem of rune ink, when people cultivate the true spirit, they have to consume the true element when they draw the rune, according to my speculation, that is, let the spiritual energy trigger the rune ink to carry out some kind of catalytic reaction, only the rune ink that has carried out this reaction, can make the rune work."
"And the talismans printed before have not been assisted by spiritual power, and they have not learned the essence of the talismans, so naturally they can't be used."
"However, I still use piezoelectric inkjet technology, but I use spiritual power instead of electricity, because spiritual energy will be applied to the nozzle like electricity, the difference is that in addition to making piezoelectric ceramics stretch and contract, it will also bring that kind of catalytic reaction to the rune ink at the level that we can't see, so that the rune template can work."
"Then we designed a prototype that successfully completed the first batch of runes, with an efficiency of about 50 runes per hour, and by adjusting the size of the ink droplets with a nozzle, these machine-drawn runes were also of the best quality."
"It's a pity that we haven't discovered the formula of this catalytic reaction yet, and it's also a mystery how the spirit paper reacts with the spirit energy, but this is a long-term project in the future, and it's no problem to make this talisman drawing machine work at present."
Zhou Xinming knew that although Liang Jianguo said it so easily, in the recent time period of power consumption and power consumption in their laboratory, in fact, the relevant research and development work was definitely very difficult.
"So Academician Liang, can this kind of talisman drawing machine be mass-produced talismans?"
"In the short term, I don't dare to pack a ticket, first of all, the research and development cost of this rune machine alone is as high as billions, not to mention the cost of each run, I would rather let the latest supercomputer run for a day, I don't want to open this machine for even a second, so we spend so much money on the project, most of it is spent on this rune machine."
It's not that it consumes a lot of electricity, the key is that this thing doesn't use electricity at all, it has to use spirit crystals for energy, draw a rune, you have to kill dozens of milligrams of high-purity spirit crystals, plus the rune paper also needs some spirit crystals, so it will directly kill 0.1 grams of spirit crystals. ”
"The printing itself is very simple, the problem is that we don't have "money", or we don't have the cultivation resources of spirit crystals, and now I'm still trying to figure out how to reduce its spiritual energy consumption, by the way, this is a report on different types of talismans, Minister Zhou, you can take a look. ”
Listening to Zhou Xinming, he nodded, the cost of producing talismans by this talisman drawing machine is indeed too high, you must know that low-level talismans are one-time consumables in the Kunlun realm, and the price is pitiful, and every monk has a bunch of them.
And the spirit crystals consumed by this machine to draw these low-level runes are enough to refine the relatively basic pill of Zhuji Dan, if any rune master spends a lot of resources to draw such a low-level rune, his master will never dare to admit that this guy is his apprentice.
But Zhou Xinming is naturally not a short-sighted person, although this talisman drawing machine seems clumsy, but it essentially represents more advanced productivity.
You must know that at the time of the birth of the steam engine, its work efficiency was not as high as that of a horse.
And now? Large steam engines can burst out with the power of more than 100,000 horses, and even drive nuclear-powered aircraft carriers to gallop on the sea, while the corresponding animal power has long been eliminated when removing a small number of mountainous areas.
What's more, the efficiency of the drawing machine is already amazing, although compared to the printer that can print dozens of A4 sheets of paper in 1 minute, its speed is no different from that of a snail, but you must know that this is not a document to print, but a formal drawing.
In the Kunlun Realm, ordinary Qi Sea cultivators can draw about 10-15 talismans every day, even if they are reincarnated by a primordial infant like Zhou Xinming, there are only more than 20 Heaven Peaks during the Qi Sea Period.
And now the machine in front of him, which is not good-looking, can draw talismans in an hour, which is actually about twice the amount of talismans he draws in a day! And people can work 24 hours a day.
If this talisman drawing machine is transmitted to the Kunlun realm, it will be enough for the small sect to break the head and bleed, and even the big immortal sect will be curious.
And from a certain point of view, this is the first pure psionic technology product made by the 125 department in the past half a year since the revival of Reiki, and its significance is enough to be put into a history textbook.
Thinking of this, Zhou Xinming said solemnly: "I think that the five thunder talismans and the spirit gathering talisman are the two most cost-effective ones at present, and there is no need to say the importance of the spirit gathering talisman, after all, this is something that can improve the efficiency of cultivation, and it is a vital educational resource in the cultivation of cultivators." ”
In terms of military affairs, the fragmentation power of the five thunder charms is much greater than that of the current army's 82-2 grenade, and the density of plasma sputtering inside is much greater than that of any current grenade. ”
In addition, I suspect that there will be demon beasts recently, and the active grenade will deal with the demon beast, so it is better to vigorously produce this talisman as the equipment of the 115 commando soldiers, and you will also accumulate a lot of data over there, in order to prepare for the plan of mass production of talismans in the future. ”
"Okay Minister Zhou, there are only enough spirit crystals, and it is no problem for this machine to produce 1,000 talismans in the short term, and when the time comes, we will ensure that the warrior comrades will have dozens of talismans!" Liang Jianguo swore solemnly, as if there was a firelight beating in his pupils.
