Chapter 414: Connectivity

They weren't able to settle down a printing plan in the end.

Or to be precise, in fact, it is two schemes that can be implemented together, these two schemes are not either/or, just like ancient China had movable type printing technology very early, but engraving printing has not been eliminated, especially in China, there are many Chinese characters, complex strokes, the number of movable types that need to be produced is also large, and the requirements for printing are also high, especially the printing is not as exquisite as the engraving printing.

Although movable type printing was invented in China, it was more widely used in the West, although Gutenberg movable type printing appeared more than 400 years later than in China.

The number of Western letters is small, and the strokes are simple, so that there are fewer letter templates that need to be made, and it is more convenient to make.

This also greatly contributed to the spread of knowledge, and the Renaissance developed after the improvement of Gutenberg's movable type printing.

Although Kaichi also thinks that Jed's idea is very good and can make plates quickly, he still decides to study movable type printing first, because movable type printing can be purely mechanical, and the difficulty is much easier than inventing a new spell, although it will take no less time.

Jia Yi first went to Gwen's side to make a difference, although there are still some defects in newsprint printing that the ink does not dry fast enough, but it can already be used, as long as there are not too many layers of lamination, the mutual printing and dyeing between paper will not be too serious.

Gwen held the paper handed over by Jiayi in his hand, looked at it over and over again, and said: "Although I have a hunch for a long time, it is still surprising, the handwriting on it is much clearer than parchment, and from now on, ordinary parchment will no longer exist." ”

Gwen looked at Kaichi and asked, "Is the duplicator still working? Nothing went wrong, you didn't remove it, did you?"

"Of course not. Jia Yi categorically vetoed, although he had this impulse, but he held it down well.

Gwen put down the paper in his hand and said, "Since it works well, then I'll contact the principal, the college magazine he's been thinking about now has it." ”

Kaichi hurriedly stopped Gwen, although he understood that what she said was not immediately.

"Professor, what kind of journal does the college want to publish?

Gwen's expression seemed to freeze, she paused for a moment, and said, "It's just an ordinary publication, even if we want to make it bigger, there is no possibility for a while." ”

Although Jia Yi and Gwen mentioned the idea of a newspaper, in his heart, Gwen still hopes to run an academic magazine, perhaps because he thinks that B is higher.

"But I guess it's not easy even for an ordinary journal, why would someone send a paper to the college's magazine? They didn't even know there was such a magazine. If you don't have good articles, even if the price of the magazine is relatively low, others may not want to buy it, right? ”

Gwen felt a little irritated, and originally thought that the college had cheap paper, and the cost of publishing the magazine would be greatly reduced, and then it would be logical to officially publish the magazine.

At this time, there was no approval system, and whoever could sell the magazine could publish a magazine.

In fact, Gwen also knew that publishing a magazine was not so simple, and it turned out that the reason why the college's magazine could not be officially published was not only because the parchment was too expensive, but also because the content was also one thing, but she subconsciously ignored it.

The reason why the academy wants to publish a journal is that it is not easy to publish a journal now, which can reflect the strength of the academy, and if the publication is distributed in a wide enough area, it can be regarded as sending its own voice to the mage world. Of course, there is actually another main reason for wanting to overpower the rest of the colleges.

There are not many magic academies in the entire continent, but generally speaking, there are four major academies, the Elf Academy, the Moshacher Basic Education Academy, the Eastern Sea Trade Academy, and the Bernarungen Primary Mage Education Academy.

But the Elf Academy is backed by the Elves, the Moshacher Academy is backed by the Supreme Council, the Sea Trade Academy is rich in thieves, and even the Ice Plains Academy, because of the bitter cold, the students can endure hardships, are strong-willed, and are also very distinctive, while the Dragon Root Academy only occupies the name of the oldest college, compared with the rest of the colleges, there is no obvious advantage.

Not to mention the advantages, there are still some disadvantages in terms of background.

That's why the college is keen to run a magazine to announce the existence of the college.

Gwen looked at Jiayi, not knowing how to answer, but she also felt that her current thoughts were a little too simple.

But she thought about it, what did this matter have to do with herself? It was the dean who wanted to run the magazine, not herself.

She said to Jia Yi: "This matter, let's wait for the dean to come back and you and the dean to talk about it." ”

With that, she pushed Jia Yi out.

......

No one knows where Dean Keys Deng is, but no one has ever worried about his safety, a senior purple-robed mage, it can be said that most places in the world can be visited, although there are still legendary mages pressed on it, but the latter is actually very difficult to encounter, and no purple-robed mage will deliberately provoke a legendary mage.

However, the academy is able to contact the principal, and can leave a message, but when the principal will reply, it may be uncertain whether he is willing to come back, he has been stuck at the peak of the purple-robed mage for a long time, so he has been traveling all year round, hoping to gain some insights and break through to become a legendary mage.

It's a pity that it's been many years, and I've tried many methods, but nothing has worked, and I'm still stuck at the peak of the purple-robed mage.

However, this is also a normal state, the number of mages stuck at the peak of the purple-robed mage is not as large as the number of legendary mages, but this is entirely because of the long life span of the legendary mages and the accumulation of a long time.

Gwen came to the secret room in the depths of the academy, in fact, there were not many secrets, but ordinary students were absolutely not allowed to enter, even if it was a professor in the academy, not everyone could enter.

This kind of communication room of the academy was built when the whole continent was turbulent at that time, there were three in total, and no professor could have the authority of more than two secret rooms at the same time, mainly to prevent someone from rebelling and destroying the communication circle in the secret room, resulting in the loss of contact between the academy and the outside world.

This rule was actually handed down a long time ago, about 1000 years ago, the Demon Domain reappeared, and it has not yet been sealed, and human beings are still at a disadvantage, and many mages have taken refuge in the Demon Domain.

At that time, even the mages who were mortal enemies and the church began to cooperate, and it was from that time that the mages and the church, as well as the elven dwarves, all races and forces sat together again, and later the relationship eased a lot.

The academy existed before the reappearance of the Demon Domain, although the development was average at the time, but it could not be left untouched, the first dean, the legendary mage Laird, died in the Demon Rebellion, and it was not until more than 400 years after the Demon Rebellion that a student Ray inherited Laird's legacy and carried forward the academy to become a top academy.

And Ray was also the greatest dean of the college after Laird, and many times, people even thought that he was better than Laird, if it weren't for Laird's name as a founder.

At that time, for the sake of the reliability of the message, the rule of multiple communication rooms was formulated, and it has been passed down to the present, although the communication circle in the secret room has been updated for many generations, but it has not been particularly convenient.

The secret room is not very big, there is a stone platform inside, and on top of the stone platform is a huge magic array, which occupies the entire stone platform, and this stone platform is the communication circle.

In fact, there are small ones for this kind of communication array, but the distance is not too long, and the other end is fixed, unlike now, in addition to being able to contact Dean Deng, it can also contact the rest of the colleges, as well as the Supreme Council, etc., if someone goes out with a communication circle that can contact the academy, they can also simply contact the academy.

However, the receiving circle is in another area, not here, some people are on duty all year round, and they also use more, but this secret room is not commonly used now, but Gwen doesn't want too many people to know about the magazine, so as not to be excited now, and it won't be embarrassing when the time comes, so he chose the secret room here.

Gwen activates the communication circle, this kind of communication circle consumes a lot of money every time it is activated, so it is not commonly used, and most of the time it is only used once in an emergency. Otherwise, the communication of the entire mage world would not be so blocked.

The reason why most of the magicians will gather in Moshacher is mainly because of the inconvenience of transportation and communication, even if there is a telegram, the communication between mages will be greatly facilitated.
