Chapter 634 Cloud Printing, Semi-Automatic Printers
Since the arrival of the Moon Orchid family, elves have been coming to Savile Town, but at this time, there is no need for Xia Duo and Nia to come forward in person.
Xia Duo heard through the Oripus patriarch of the Silver Leaf Family in the Moon Xilan family that there was an elven high mage on the side of Connefila City, and took away all the elf elite mages who were similar to human high-level mages.
In other words, the rest is only at the level of a mid-level mage, so Xia Duo chose to entrust the Silver Leaf family to be responsible for receiving elf refugees, of course, the reception is only the last step, the main thing is to persuade them to retreat.
It is not to persuade them to return to Comanso, which is unrealistic. Persuade them to stay at that supply point east of the Savile Territory in peace, which is hello, hello, hello, everyone.
Although the arrival of the elves was a bunch of refugees, this busy and chaotic atmosphere also diluted Xia Duo's worries about Drow and the Dragon Disaster.
Maybe it's because there are so many elves as backs, or maybe it's because the threat hasn't come day by day, and after a long time, the feeling has faded, anyway, Xia Duo has indeed been much easier in the past two days.
There is no longer the same as before, almost 24 hours ready to respond to all kinds of wind and grass, the days that should be lived, still have to live, and they must live normally.
……
Tower of Time, in a workshop.
Xia Duo carefully assembled a neatly shaped magic device on the test bench, and although his movements were very cautious, his mind was very relaxed, and the magic scroll printing machine was far less difficult to make than a flying sword.
Even the flying sword has been made, and this magic scroll printing machine is no longer a problem at all.
The main body of this guy is a rectangular table, almost half a palm high, and on one side of the table is a narrow rectangular ink cartridge, which is divided into three compartments, suitable for three different inks.
In addition, this ink cartridge can also be removed and replaced with other spare ink cartridges, in terms of design concept, Xia Duo refers to the ink cartridges of printers on the earth.
Of course, the shape is different, it is also certain, he is just close to how convenient and how to come, mainly practical, and there is not too much design in the appearance.
As for the inside of the table, it is the Mithril component and the energy core, in order to facilitate overhaul and maintenance, Xia Duo did not encapsulate them, anyway, they are also used by themselves, and they can be repaired at any time if they are broken.
In addition to the Mithril components and energy cores, the other materials of the printing press, because they do not involve the core function of the printing press, so there is nothing to pay attention to, and Xia Duo uses the most common iron.
If it is not more convenient to shape the metal, its practical wood can save costs.
Closing the last snap on, Xia Duo put a little force on his hand to make sure that the whole thing was stable, and a laboratory version of the magic scroll printing machine was completed.
As for the link to the magic net, it has already been linked after installing the Mithril component and the energy core.
……
Next, Xia Duo is ready to actually use it.
He first took a stack of parchment paper from his pocket and placed it in six grooves on the printing table, almost filling the grooves.
For now, automatic paper changes either involve mechanics or require additional spell designs. The former Xia Duo is not good at it, and the latter requires a lot of time to study.
It is not possible to achieve it in a short period of time, and the current printing press has been able to greatly reduce the time consumption of the magic scroll production process, and the addition of an automatic paper change will also have a very limited increase in efficiency.
After loading the "printer paper", Xia Duo began to add ink to the "ink cartridge" again, and this time he was going to print the 3-ring fireball scroll, which required [Sand Crystal Graphite Water].
In addition to the "sand crystal" in the name, this ink also contains a large proportion of ruby powder, and it sells 1 small bottle of 200 gold coins, and one bottle can almost draw two copies of the Fireball Scroll.
For the Tower of Time, this kind of consumables are of course purchased to save money by purchasing materials and preparing them themselves, and when settling with the members of the Tower of Time, it is also less than 200 bottles.
But in any case, this ink is still very expensive, and Xia Duo poured 10 bottles in one compartment of the long ink cartridge at a time, almost until it was full.
It can be seen that he is still full of confidence in the availability of this printing press.
Then Xia Duo took out something similar to a 3.5-inch floppy disk on the earth and inserted it into a card slot on the side of the printing press, without which the person who started the printing press would have to control the printed content.
This thing has not been seen in the [Projection Plane: Arcane Empire] either, where the printers are at least formal mages, and the printing press and communication array are linked together to produce an effect similar to "cloud printing".
This is incomparable to Xia Duo, he does not have a large number of mage workers to serve him, and he does not have a communication array covering the whole country as an external data source, all he can think of is the physical "plug-in".
The core of the printing press is [Transcription], this 1-ring spell can print out anything provided by the caster, but the spell itself also has a certain openness, and there is no threshold for converting "caster's custom input" to "physical plug-in input".
The floppy disk-like thing that Xia Duo took out was actually a Mithril component on the inside of the iron case, and when he plugged it into the printing press, it was similar to performing a spellbook bridging experiment.
It's just that the bridging experiment is an equivalent substitution, and here, only a part of the structure has been added to the core Mithril component of the printing press.
Increasing the effect of this part of the structure is reflected in the effect of the spell, which is to print the arcane geometry of the [Fireball Technique] directly on the paper.
At present, Xia Duo has prepared several spell external printing plug-ins, and if you want to change the content of the printing, you just need to change it, and then adjust the corresponding ink cartridge, and it's good.
It's not the most convenient method in theory, but in a short period of time, Xia Duo can only do this.
……
Everything was ready, and Xia Duo started the printing press, without any noise that could be seen from a printer on Earth, just a flash of magic inspiration, and the parchment on the six printing stations of the printing table already appeared on the parchment that he had expected to be intricate, intricate.
"It's semi-automatic!" Xia Duo complained slightly.
This printing machine needs to be started to print, of course, it can also be designed to print continuously, but this requires the function of automatic paper change to do matching, and there is no need for such a tall automatic printing machine for the time being.
Just this one, just in the blink of an eye of Xia Duo, there are 6 [Quasi-Magic Scrolls].
Except for the last [Link Magic Net] machine, which could not be replaced, the other pre-steps that would have required a lot of time for the caster were completed by the printing machine in an instant.
This is just a semi-automatic printing machine, and if it is fully automatic, or even a machine that can connect magic webs to magic scrolls instead of spellcasters, that prospect is unimaginable.
