Kaichi stood in front of the storeroom door of the academy, this was his first time here.

He had been to the academy's treasury to pick up magic equipment, but it wasn't this one. The warehouse looked rather deserted, and when Terry pushed the door open, he saw a puff of dust falling from the lintel, but instead of drifting into the door, it seemed to have encountered a transparent baffle, and drifted outward, and there was a clear dividing line after falling to the ground.

Terry turned his head to look at Jia Yi and said, "Come along, the magic copier is inside, remember to return it intact." ”

He didn't have a good face for Jia Yi, and he was willing to take Jia Yi to the warehouse because of Gwen, who begged Gwen for a short time before begging Gwen to come forward to borrow the college's photocopier.

If Jia Yi came forward by himself, he might be able to borrow it, but it would definitely not be so easy.

Entering the warehouse, this warehouse is a little bigger than what Jia Yi had seen before, although when he opened the door, he could find that no one had been here for a long time, but there was no dust or dullness in it.

It doesn't look like a treasure trove, but more like a warehouse dedicated to storing large machinery, although there are not many things, but the volume is huge, and after taking two steps inside, Kaichi even saw something that looked like a cannon.

Of course, it's not all violent stuff inside, Jiayi also saw a set of exquisite tables and chairs, and a half-floating carriage, it seems that Jiayi is not the only one who likes to enjoy it.

Terry led Kaichi to a huge metal box with a large green glow, and said to Kaichi, "This is the magic copier, okay, take it yourself." ”

He didn't have the idea of stepping forward to help, this iron box looked like it was two meters square, more than half a person tall, and it was not easy to see at a glance, and it was not easy to move at all.

Kaichi turned his head to look at Terry, then stretched out his left hand, put it on top of the cowriter, and with a "whoosh" put the entire machine into the bracelet, fortunately there was a storage bracelet, otherwise it would not be easy to take this machine away.

Terry's eyes shrank, and he also felt a burst of surprise, he didn't expect that Jiayi actually had a storage bracelet.

"I didn't think Orlando thought so much of you. Terry whispered, thinking that the storage bracelet had been given to him by Orlando.

......

Got the duplicate,Jia Yi didn't put it in the laboratory where he lived this time.,But put it in the original laboratory where the elf rice seeds were cultivated.,This laboratory has not been taken back.,Jia Yi also cultivated some other crops in it.,It's just that after cultivating the elf rice.,No large-scale cultivation was carried out.。

The laboratory at his own home was too messy, and he took up a lot of space to study machine tools in it, and he also put two verification machine tools in it, and it would be too crowded to put another copy machine in it.

Jiayi moved the table in the laboratory to the side, vacated a large piece of open space, and then reached out and put it on the clearing, and the duplicator fell to the ground with a "bang", even if Jiayi used the levitation technique, he couldn't make the duplicator fall to the ground quietly.

Jia Yi hurriedly came forward to check several times to confirm that there was nothing wrong before he was relieved.

If it was broken just after borrowing it, Jia Yi didn't know how to explain it.

He lifted the lid of the metal box, and there was a handle inside, and he grabbed the handle and lifted it up, and with a "bang", a shelf almost one person high stretched out.

In the middle of the shelf are four metal plates together, each of which can be pulled apart, and there is a small box next to it, Jia Yi poked his hand inside, and there was a layer of black color on his fingers, which was an ink cartridge.

Each metal plate is inscribed with a rune circle, the top two are a pair, and the bottom two are a pair.

Kaichi pulled up the board below, there was a groove in it, which should be the place to put the paper, but this was just speculation, he was actually scratching his head a little now, and there was no instruction manual for this thing.

He rummaged through it again and confirmed that there was indeed no manual.

Fortunately, he used to be familiar with electronic products, but he can still fiddle with some things, when he was a programming ape, he always felt that the things he designed were simple enough, but there were still customers who would not use them, and now he also has a customer feeling.

After tinkering for a long time, he finally started this thing, the upper part is used to put the original that needs to be copied, and the lower part is to put blank parchment, after starting, the content above will be directly copied to the bottom, this thing is a bit like a photocopier, which can copy the content on the top to the bottom completely.

Although this thing does not need to be typeset, but the efficiency is not particularly high, every time a piece of paper is printed, someone needs to manually change the paper, the paper used for printing is very large, you can print a large sheet at a time, and then cut it out for binding.

Kaichi was fiddling with the machine, and March and Jancy came over with them.

Jancy was holding a roll of newsprint in his hand, and when he entered the door, he saw that Kaichi was fiddling with a copy machine - the reason why it is called a copy machine is because this machine is printed through copying, and it will only copy the handwriting on the original, not like a photocopier, and copy the patterns that originally belonged to the paper.

Yanxi put the paper aside, hurriedly ran over, curiously touched the copywriter, and asked, "Is this the copywriter you borrowed from Professor Terry, doesn't Professor Terry like you very much, why is he still willing to borrow you?"

"This duplicator doesn't belong to Terry, it belongs to the Academy, why didn't he borrow it, and I didn't borrow it, Professor Gwen borrowed it, I just moved it back. ”

If it weren't for the last sentence, I would have thought that he had tried to borrow it on the basis of reason.

Yang Xi carefully looked at this duplicator, every part to observe carefully, he has been engaged in the production of machine tools recently, and has become interested in this magic machine, and now when he sees a different one, he wants to understand some principles, as well as the difficulty of production.

If it weren't for the fact that this machine didn't belong to him, he would have an urge to take it apart and take a look, of course, if it belonged to them, Jia would have started dismantling it early in the morning.

The rest of the people also gathered around, Jade and Madochester were also there, although they had been living close together, but they had rarely worked on projects together lately, because the paper mill and machine tool workshop involved too much energy, and their small shops now had a lot less goods, most of which were purchased from outside, not made by themselves.

Jia Yi introduced this machine to them on the side, he had been studying for a long time just now, and he was already familiar with some of the principles of the machine.

The most important thing of this machine is to use the copy technique to extract the content on the upper layer of the board, and then directly copy it to the parchment paper in the next layer of the board, after writing a large sheet, you need to open the following board to change a piece of paper in the operation, the manual participation rate is very high, but there is an advantage that you can copy both sides at one time.

"It's very expensive, and it's all done using copying, so it's no wonder that a magazine is so expensive. After Ma Duo on the side understood, he couldn't help but be a little speechless.

Copying a page may not be very expensive, but if it is a book, then the price is high, a page is more expensive than 10 copper plates, a book is more expensive than 1 silver coin even if it is only 100 pages, plus what parchment costs, machine depreciation costs, logistics storage costs, labor costs, and this is not even counting the author's copyright fees, this series adds up to the fact that even an ordinary book is expensive, and if it is a professional book, it is even more expensive.

"When I didn't become a full-fledged mage, I always complained that books were too expensive, especially magazines, and I didn't dare to subscribe to too many copies, and many times I only dared to buy second-hand watches, thinking that these magazines always said that it was a lie. ”

Many people have heard that books such as magazines rely on subsidies from the Supreme Council and major organizations to survive, but everyone thinks that at least they will not lose too much, after all, not everyone knows about the printing industry, and now that they know the cost of printing, they all feel that this is no longer an ordinary loss.

It's no wonder that the academy didn't publish a single publication in the end, and the more it sold, the more it lost.

Books such as the four major journals all have legendary level reviewers, and these reviewers are obligatory, otherwise the cost will go up a lot, which is why no big organization can basically run a big publication, and it is too difficult to find a reviewer of sufficient level.

"It's not cheap to make a copy machine, if only it could make printing less expensive. ”

Yanxi has become accustomed to thinking about the cost.
