Chapter 82: Papers

The next day, after Kaichi had rested, Im pulled him to make a new fountain pen.

Dale and Flower were supposed to come over to see what they were doing, but they were sent away by Jia Yi with a roll.

With Imu as a source of mana, Kaichi doesn't need to maintain the furnace fire, just use his tentacles to melt the metal, and meditate to recover when his magic runs out, because his spirit is strong and can support several rounds.

Although Imu's strength is very strong - compared to Jiayi, but the tentacles are not as slippery as Jiayi.

Because he wanted to make a magic fountain pen, Imu redesigned the nib and designed the back to be larger and longer, completely enclosing the fountain pen and leaving room for the magic circle.

In terms of materials, he still uses gold alloy, but optimizes the formula to make the nib tougher and stronger. It also contains some water powder to increase the nib's compatibility with magic and keep the nib moist.

After Jiayi cooperated with him to make the nib of the pen, Yimu took out a carving knife and engraved a magic array on the nib, because the nib part is to open a crack for ink walking, so the magic array is in the shape of "冂".

It's just that when it comes time to determine the magic circle, Imu doesn't know what magic circle to use. To be honest, there are very few magic circles that can be used on the pen, mainly because the original quills used have few places where the magic circle can be engraved.

It is said that a master pen maker was able to weave the feathers on the feathers to create a magic circle and enchant the quills. Although this skill is very high, it is limited by the size and cannot be attached to any powerful magic.

Now Imu is facing this problem, he wants to attach a more powerful magic, but he won't at all, after all, there is a specialization in the art industry.

In the end, he had to engrave a smooth spell on the tip of the pen, which was the same as the quill, a bit wasted.

Originally, I wanted to attach a fire elemental affinity or something, so as to facilitate the production of magic scrolls. It's a pity that the area is too small, and Imu doesn't have a miniature version of this circle, and he can't optimize it immediately in a hurry.

Finally, Imu embedded a fine sapphire at the end of the back end of the ink guide in the middle of the nib, which was used to provide magic power to the magic circle, and also served as a decoration.

With Yimu's assistance, Jiayi had more ideas about the pen barrel part. Originally, in order to avoid ink from getting his hands dirty, Jiayi made the capillary structure of the ink storage at the front relatively short, and did not write many words by dipping it in ink.

The sleeve of the nib is made of hard ironwood, and the ends are made into a spiral structure that can be tightened with the threads on the barrel. These are all cut by Im using magic, and his wind blade is so brilliant that he can embroider flowers with the wind blade.

Kaichi was very curious about why his wind blade was used so smoothly, and it couldn't be so proficient in every mage's magic.

After making the fountain pen, Im kept one for Kaichi. There is no inscription circle, saying that it is left to Jiayi, so that he can carve a suitable one for himself in the future.

"Teacher, can you give me another pen?" said Kayi, holding the pen that Imu had given him, "I can give a pen to Dale as a birthday present." ”

Yimu counted the pens in his hand: "I have already decided to give it to others, and the next time I go to the provincial capital, I will send it." Gifts.,Of course, it's called hard work if you make it yourself.,Just take what you made yesterday and give it to her.,Anyway, there's no magic circle.,It's almost the same to use.。 ”

Im didn't make too many nibs this time, originally he also prepared Mithril to fill the circle, but later found that he didn't have a good circle to engrave, so he took it back, probably the biggest difference is to increase the content of the nib of pure gold, more wear-resistant.

Although he made 8 or 9 nibs this time, only one of them engraved a magic circle with smooth writing because of his experiments, and the rest of them were going to give them to his teachers and friends, so that they could carve what they liked.

Jiayi had no choice but to ask Yimu to remake the pen barrel, add the pen cover, and also engrave intricate patterns on it, and fill it with gold and silver. Make it look a little taller. Finally, in order to protect the nib and make it easy to carry, a simple pen cover was also made.

In this way, it looks very similar to a modern fountain pen.

He didn't want to give the pen to Dale that Imu gave him, he thought that he would learn it well in the future, and engrave a magic circle on the tip of the pen, and now, there was not much difference between what Imu gave him and what he made himself.

When he read novels in his last life, he always wondered what good equipment he had always had to change the way and hand it over to the protagonist, if it wasn't for the villain to send the equipment, or if the supporting character felt that the protagonist contributed the most after the adventure, he gave the best to the protagonist.

I didn't expect him to be such a person himself, and the nib made by Yimu was made of better materials.

After helping Jiayi make the pen, Yimu said, "Jiayi, you pen, let's give him a name." ”

Jiayi thought that Yimu was going to say something: "Let's call it a fountain pen, originally the nib can be made of steel, but the steel is more difficult to knock, so I chose gold." And the golden pen feels a nouveau riche breath, so it's called a fountain pen. ”

Jiayi is incompetent in choosing a name, since he had a suitable name in his previous life, it would be good to use it, and it can't be called a sand pen.

"The fountain pen highlights the characteristics of the pen. Prepare yourself and write a paper on the invention and steps of the fountain pen, and I will help you submit it to the Academy. Your fountain pen is better than a quill and easy to inscribe circles, so it will be welcomed by mages. ”

"Thank you, teacher, but how do you write this?"

"Well, you wait a minute. Imu returned to the room, took out a book, and handed it to Kaichi.

"Wizard Monthly?" Kaiichi asked as he read the title of the book, "Teacher, aren't we mages?" I remember you said that wizards are meant to obtain magic through offerings?"

"In the days of our confrontation with the Church, the Church accused all the spellcasters of being shamans and held judgments. That's when the Wizard's Monthly was founded, and it was still copied using copying magic..."

Im explained to Kaichi that it turned out that the "Wizard Monthly" at that time was not a monthly magazine, but a magazine that was published from time to time, and it was called "The Witcher". Because of the slander of the church, the founder thought that you didn't say that we were wizards, so I created a wizard magazine.

At that time, "The Witcher" was only a publication focusing on the exchange of spell-casting techniques, but later it slowly developed, and the mage's research on magic gradually deepened, no longer the main purpose of improving the power of magic, but became an exploration of the principles of magic and in-depth analysis of magic. The Witcher has also gradually become more and more focused on publishing the latest magical research results.

Later, the church retreated to Antarctica, and The Witcher became a well-known publication, and the name has been retained. "Wizard Monthly" is the publication of "Wizard" magazine, which is mainly aimed at magic inventions, as well as some magic circle improvements. If it's about the discovery of the nature of magic, it's still published in The Witcher, or some more specialized magazine.

Imu said: "The above articles are all written in the format of a paper, except for some conjectures, you can write according to this." Everyone, you just write yourself. ”

"Teacher, you've helped me a lot, don't you write about you?"

"The second author wrote about me. ”

It turns out that there are owners and authors of papers, and there can be more than one owner, and theoretically dozens of them can be written, or they can not be inventors, and all owners share the income and ownership of the paper equally, if there is a separate agreement. The author is the inventor, divided into the first author, the second author, the third author, the first author can only have one, the second author is up to two, and the third author is up to three.

The author does not represent ownership of the paper, as it may be a commissioned invention and the ownership goes to the principal. But there is one thing, if it is a discovery about the knowledge and theory of magic, but not the application of magic, then the ownership belongs to the discoverer, that is, the author, whether or not it is commissioned.

Because the most critical part of the fountain pen is made by Jiayi, and Yimu only does some auxiliary work, he only hangs a second author on it, and the ownership belongs to Jiayi.

This is different from the last charcoal, although the charcoal filtration method is provided by Jiayi, but all the sorting and induction, experiments and conclusions are completed by Yimu, so the ownership is Yimu's. Just like artemisinin for the treatment of dysentery, artemisinin has long been used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat dysentery (it must be squeezed and drunk, but later generations do not know that the decoction destroys the medicinal properties), but the discovery of artemisinin is attributed to Ms. Tu Youyou.

Although this is the case, Jia Yi doesn't even know where to submit the paper, and Imu is still very interesting to him like this. In his previous life, he didn't know how many rumors he had heard about teachers plundering students' research results.
