Magic Tower Starry Sky

Chapter 611: Printing upgrade?

"The Starry Sky of the Magic Tower (

The reason why Lin attaches so much importance to this matter is that even if he wrote Chinese himself in the past, even if he made a typo, other readers can infer the correct meaning from the context. The typo will not affect reading at all.

Midi's pinyin characters have a similar situation. In addition to typos, pinyin characters can also use various roots to create new characters to describe a new thing. But this new character is not written casually, other readers can understand it, it has certain rules of character creation.

I am not a lost linguist, Lin can't guarantee that there will be no such low-level mistakes in my manuscript. If it’s a general correspondence, or show it to your apprentices and other close people, it’s fine, and it’s fine if you write a typo, anyway, it’s fine if you can understand it. Even if you don't understand, it's nothing to ask.

But now it is a rigorous publication, such things as typos will only damage the authority of this journal, and avoid it if you can.

The best way, of course, is to invite professionals. I believe that for the sake of money, these ten apprentices will not deal with business casually.

After tidying up the mathematics building, a room originally used for rest by Lin, the only mathematics lecturer, was converted into a workplace for ten proofreaders, and Lin returned to the original classroom where the printing press was placed. Today it has been renamed as a printing workshop.

The artisans supported by Uzov Gantia and the Technology Guild have left. As for the fees that Lin had to pay, Uzov handled it on his behalf. After all, the technology guild had its own large dividends and hadn't taken all of them away. Someone's original intention was to put this money in the guild as one of the capitals used by Uzov, and to use it at this time. This saves time in handling coins.

As for financial institutions like banks, someone still doesn't want to touch them, or even mention them. It was an irreversible financial monster once it was released. In this world with gods, someone doesn't want to touch someone's bad luck and get into trouble.

In the printing workshop, only the head of the academy and a few magicians were left curiously around the machine, fumbling here and there. There were also people who were touching the large stack of fully opened white papers, as if they were thinking about something.

Of course, there was also the sword that someone didn't take away, and he was happily chatting with everyone. But obviously, everyone is a little far away from the box cut. It's not that everyone is not curious about this sword, or that they deliberately stay away from it in order to show someone that they are avoiding suspicion. Everyone is simply scared.

The "excellent" reputation of the Xiaqie family is not so unfamiliar to the magicians of the holy city, especially magicians of their status. For a weapon that can pry into the owner's heart, no one is not vigilant, but at least other boxers will not speak. However, this sword can speak, which is a piece of news that is enough to break the heart for any holder.

Even if this box cut didn't blurt out someone's secret, everyone had a tacit understanding not to pry. For those who dare to hold the sword, no one wants to have an excuse to be stabbed by the sword. So these conversations are more of unnutritious social rhetoric.

As soon as Lin entered the door, he didn't care about the atmosphere here, and said directly: "Dean, thank you for agreeing to use a lecturer's lounge as a studio for proofreading."

Although Lin was the only lecturer in the mathematics building, all the property in the college belonged to the head of the school, and no matter what he wanted to do, he couldn't bypass the old man.

The reason why I didn't look for other classrooms or lounges was because the furniture was already in the room that was supposed to be used by someone, and I could work with a little movement. But the other rooms are still empty, so they can only sit on the floor very hard.

"Little Gai, come here, come here, teach me how to use this." The great magician Kabanbai called someone affectionately, not hiding his curiosity about the printing machine at all, pointing that the interface has been locked by a password live control panel.

After unlocking the console lock, Lin explained to the old man the principle of the linkage and operation of each part of the printing machine. The reason why he dared to disperse the machine parts to the people of the technical guild to make them instead of spending a lot of time doing it himself was because he wrote the program to control the printing.

Even if others imitate it, without this program control, at least half of the martial arts of the printing press will be useless. Among other things, the printing plate alone has to go back to the old way of engraving. Midi doesn't even have a movable type version.

Even if others imitate the machine, the time required to prepare the engraving and printing the plate will be more than doubled. Of course, even so, compared to Midi's original printing technology, it is still an unimaginable big leap.

The control program on the machine, in addition to automatically paging and typesetting the input text files, can also do some simple editing and modification. So whoever wants to print books or leaflets, just place the magic stone that stores the text file in the special control slot for reading.

As for newspapers...there are forums, who reads newspapers?

Although the information on the forum is unorganized, it is quite messy. But newspapers are doomed not to take the high price route, and can only rely on low prices and sales to open up the situation. For some people who are not afraid of trouble and even like to browse forums, newspapers have no appeal. So as early as the forum was born, there was no soil for running a newspaper.

But looking at this machine, the great magician Kabanbai asked first, "Is there a way to print magic scrolls or magic books?"

"Unfortunately, no." The other party asked straightforwardly, and Lin also answered neatly: "That old problem still hasn't been solved, there is still paper and ink."

"I don't see any restrictions on the ink supply tank on this printing machine. Or do you not have a good ink formula and source of materials?" Kabanbai asked persistently

After thinking about it, Lin decided to back up and said: "Dean, to tell you the truth, I have also done research on printing magic characters. I found that even if I just write the most common magic characters, it will still be read from the writer. Absorbing magical powers is the same as making magic scrolls. It’s just that the craftsmanship of making scrolls must be more refined, and there are also requirements for the creator’s mental state, and there is even the possibility of failure.”

"You mean, it's not just a matter of paper and ink. If you want to use printing, you also need to consider how to input power during the printing process?" The great magician Kabanbai suddenly thought of the key point.

Moreover, in the process of copying magical knowledge, authority may be needed. In fact, magicians also have such inferences. The reason is that it is such a simple homework that no ordinary person can succeed in doing it. You know, this is not making a magic scroll.

It's just that the work of copying has always been regarded as a part of the accumulation of knowledge for magic apprentices, and magicians will not want to find an ordinary person who has nothing to do with magic to do it. Over time, it has become a matter of course for everyone to copy by apprentices, and no one has deliberately searched for the reasons behind it.

"Yes, as you said. But how to do this, I have no idea at all. Even if the method of input power is solved, it must be produced by printing, whether it is a magic book, or It is a magic scroll, so it is necessary to figure out how much power is required for each rune and each stroke, so as to ensure the completion of the production and prevent it from exploding out of control."

Speaking of the out-of-control situation, it made the magicians present feel distressed. Magic is out of control, but it is not as simple as failure, and the consequences that follow are unpredictable and difficult to prevent. Exploding and backlashing itself are actually small things. What I am most afraid of is becoming a springboard for some kind of extraterritorial existence to invade the Lost Land. This is a death penalty.

Lin patted the printing machine and said: "This kind of meticulous work cannot be done by machines. What is needed is the accumulated experience of the creators, which becomes an instinctive craft. What machines can do is simple and repetitive. Sexual work. If you have experience in making puppets, you will know what kind of work you can give these stupid big guys."

Speaking of technologies that everyone is familiar with, the experience of the people present can be said to be richer than that of Lin. The situation he said made everyone feel sorry for him. But the great magician Kabanbai asked one more question: "What if we use mathematics to analyze it?"

"Mathematical analysis should be no problem." Lin shrugged and said, "But at the beginning, I just analyzed an apprentice-level magic~www.wuxiamtl.com~ which took the least time, and I studied it for nearly a month. As for those The magic is too complicated, and I dare not even touch it. Not to mention even if it is analyzed, I have not yet mastered how to use the machine to inject power, and how to cooperate between the two."

After being poured a bucket of cold water, the great magician Kaban said goodbye and said how disappointed he was. But after thinking about it, he immediately felt relieved. Although this printing machine cannot exert greater value, the Journal of Optical Mathematics can be published smoothly, and now it seems that it is not a big problem to issue 1,000 copies in one issue, and it is of inestimable value to the academy.

Now he and Kabanbai Academy, although not all of their fortunes are bet on mathematics. However, due to their academic status in the holy city of Estali, the two are vaguely connected by outsiders. It can be said that all prosperity, all losses. Although this is not my original intention, it doesn't seem to be a bad thing to go down this road.

For Lin, the printing press can only print books other than magic, and it can make magic scrolls, which are two completely different things. In the eyes of magicians, the former is not of much value, it is just a convenient tool. What is really valuable is the meaning of the printed text and its content.

But if the printing machine can make magic scrolls, this machine will rise to the level of a strategic material. What does it mean to manufacture magic scrolls in large quantities? Someone can know it is not good even if he thinks about it on his knees.

If you really create such a printing magic machine, let alone the question of whether you can keep it, you can imagine that there will be countless troubles in the future, and there will be no end. The most **** disgusting thing is that the magic scrolls produced are not sold or not sold, it is a big trouble.
