In the college early in the morning, the students in the enlightenment class were doing morning exercises. The yelling of children, big and small, was very loud, as if they were about to spit out the breath in their chests. Everyone practiced themselves like mud monkeys, dripping with sweat, and a hot steam was steaming all over their bodies.

Afterwards, they will enter the new large bathroom, give themselves a good scrub, and then face a full day of classes. This can be regarded as the bathroom equipment designed by someone, which is a big benefit to everyone. Otherwise, these children may have to sweat and smell, and be crowded with teachers in a small classroom on a hot day, which would be all kinds of sour.

This is also because the painting styles of magicians in Midi all follow the wild route. If the wizards want to fight for muscle size, they may not lose to the fighters. Therefore, in the stage of enlightenment, most of the colleges, like Chengguo Eaton College founded by Lin at the beginning, paid great attention to children's physical exercise.

If there is time, someone would like to get back to the habit of morning exercise. After all, the body is one's own, and if there is something good or bad, no matter whether it is illness or being stabbed, no one else can do it for you.

But today I don't have time to do these things. As soon as Lin entered the academy, an apprentice from the great magician Kabanbai immediately greeted him and led him to the mathematics building. Although he is old, he is normally a hale and hearty headmaster, but today is a little different. With a hint of apology, and maybe some anger, he looked at someone who appeared with a little disappointment, and said:

"Your Excellency, I'm sorry, but I can only find ten qualified scribes. If it's really urgent, my students and I can also help. But I haven't done copying for a long time, maybe the speed is not enough. Hurry up young people. I really want to find some more people, but those magic apprentices who are good at copying seem to have disappeared. These people are still the disciples and grandchildren of our old guys, which is really embarrassing."

"Ten, more, more." Lin comforted the old man. He also heard hints from the words of the great magician Kabanbai that someone was stumbling in this regard.

But everyone except Lin looked annoyed. There's a lot of disapproval and rekindling of old grudges about an overwhelmed magician.

As long as you are a scribe, it is impossible not to have a grudge against the creator of the forum. Before the forum, their main source of income was to transcribe books on magic knowledge for the Association of Magicians and Magicians.

After having a forum, many magicians choose to use forum files to store magic knowledge. Immediately, the work of scribes was reduced by more than 90%, and many people were forced to choose other dangerous or high-risk jobs. So this time the great magician Kabanbai temporarily recruited scribes, not only was someone obstructing behind his back, but also those who had experience in copying were resentful and unwilling to come.

These few will come, that's because the great magician Kabanbai or several other magicians from the academy are his teachers, or the teachers' teachers. The teacher has spoken, so I have to come. If he hadn't been beaten to death, he would have nowhere to seek justice.

However, based on past experience, it is very common for books like this to be sold to the public to be prepared one or two years in advance, and only after a certain number of volumes have been accumulated will they be put on the shelves of the store. There is even a situation of copying and selling a copy as soon as it is completed. Now only seven days left! what can be done It takes more than this time to get a book cover.

Ignoring the disgust on everyone's faces, Lin still imitated the leader's style and shouted at everyone first. Said: "Thank you for coming to assist me in the work of making mathematics journals. There are seven days left, and there is not much leeway. But I don't use the normal copying method, so the time is not as urgent as you think. Of course, the next job will use your talents, but it will also require some strength. Everyone present, basic apprentice-level magic is no problem. Like great strength and lightness. Can I ask you first? Let me introduce yourselves, everyone. We still have some time until my stuff arrives. When it arrives, it's going to be busy."

Does Midi have printing? Yes, of course there is, but Midi's printing method is still a very simple woodblock printing method. However, the main reason why Midi's printing method is not popular is that it cannot be used for writing related to magic.

When transcribing magic incantations or magic circles, even if it is just pure notes, not magic scrolls, you must not be sloppy with the carrier and ink. Write words that can carry authority with ordinary ink, and after a period of time, the words will disappear without leaving any traces. Sometimes ordinary paper can't bear it, and it becomes brittle and shatters when touched.

And if it is used for printing, the ink is a special formula, which is different from ordinary ink. This kind of ink that can be used for printing also belongs to the category that cannot carry power. So far, magicians have still not found an ink suitable for both purposes, so the scope of printing in Midi is limited to the circle of nobles and countries, that is, the non-magic field.

However, the power rulers who are lost in the land still maintain a rather backward ignorance of the people, always thinking that the people have to be a little stupid to rule easily. After all, due to the dangerous natural environment, the people of Lost Land maintain a certain force even at the lowest level. If the people's wisdom is broadened, these rulers will not survive. Therefore, printing in Lost Land is not like it is on Earth, and has a good room for development.

And this is also a misunderstanding in the cognition of most magicians. They are used to copying books and always think that magic books can only be copied, but they never thought that mathematics is not magic...

As soon as they thought about this key point, most of the people's tangled brows relaxed a little. Although the printing technique that magicians know, the finished handwriting is very rough and difficult to preserve, but at least it is a way to get through the current hurdle, and everyone has nothing to complain about. hot book

Maybe, things are not as bad as imagined.

With a more relaxed mood, the magic apprentices present began to introduce themselves. It's nothing more than learning from someone, how many rings, what magic content has been copied, and so on.

After everyone finally finished their introductions, and Lin talked nonsense again, Kabanbai had time to ask: "Then what you are waiting for now is the engraving for printing? I don't know how many sets of this part have been completed. gone?"

The engraving block for printing has a limit on the number of times it can be used, but anyone who is not concerned about this technology probably will not know about this problem. So the great magician Kabanbai can ask this point, his knowledge and knowledge can be regarded as very profound.

But someone still shook his head and said, "Engraving? I didn't make that kind of thing."

The great magician who just crawled out of the hell's swamp felt as if he had been kicked deeper into the depths, and he was directly annihilated. To make an engraving block that can print a set of books will take more time than copying. There is nothing now, so is it possible to transform it directly without magic? Could it be that this man has created some new magic, such as making calligraphy, reading and writing, and so on.

The old man with a weak heart was just about to grab anyone around him, struggle and groan, when news came that he had become a formal magician student. "Teacher, there is a caravan at the gate. They said they brought the goods that Lord Tripwood needs. Do you want to let them in?"

Because of the previous incident where the inspector team trespassed and intended to arrest people, the head of Kabanbai Academy ordered to strengthen the security level of the academy. Trespassers are beaten first and then questioned, and they are killed on the spot if they are not sure of capturing them alive. They are completely guarded according to the level of confidential locations.

Therefore, when outsiders who are not from the academy want to enter, they must go through a communication, and only with the permission of any one of the three academy administrators, including him, the dean, can enter.

As soon as Lin next to him heard it, he knew that the equipment for printing books had arrived, and quickly said: "It should be the printing equipment sent by the Technical Association, and the printing paper. I have been waiting for them for a long time, please invite them in and directly Come to the mathematics building and drop off the goods."

In fact, as early as six nights ago, when Lin learned that there was a magician banquet about mathematics, Lin had roughly speculated about various possible events and changes, and imagined a way to break the situation. The publication of mathematical journals was one of the plans made at that time. Regardless of whether it is used to solve a certain problem, running a journal is beneficial but not harmful to a certain transversal people.

I have thought about whether to use the convenience of the forum to publish the content of the journal. However, the convenience of the forum has become an obstacle to the plan to establish an academic authority. Because everyone can speak, and it is not easy to review the content. In comparison, a paper physical book can easily achieve what forum-based e-books cannot.

Now that we have decided to use physical books, it is absolutely not feasible to use copying as in the past under the premise of mass sales. Not to mention how many scribes would have to be hired to achieve the scale originally envisaged if it was going to be published once a month. At this time, there is no doubt that the technology tree of printing technology must be started.

As a time traveler, when it comes to printing, what comes to mind is not movable type printing, but Manroland automatic cylinder printing machine...

That was when I was a child~www.wuxiamtl.com~ In the era when the distinction between factories and homes was not obvious, there was a small printing factory near my hometown. There is a German-made Manroland small automatic cylinder printing machine inside.

Even the old antiques left over from the World War II era were rare high-tech products for small and medium-sized enterprises at that time. So I liked to run there when I had nothing to do, watching the cylinder printing machine running amidst the noise of the motor. Of course, the printing factory has a child who is about the same age as him, and one of the reasons is to play with him.

Because of that experience, when I think of a printing press, that Manroland comes to mind. And it's not just the general shape and outline, but the details are so detailed that even where a screw should be locked is clear.

It is said that my memory has reached this level, and even if I have no nerves, I know that there is something wrong with my brain. I just don’t know that this is a cheat that is necessary for everyone to travel, but it is a long-awaited cheat for someone. What is the reason? How long can it last? Is it a sign that things will turn against each other? None of this is known. Anyway, before the onset of my own dementia, I tried to use it as much as possible.
