Starry Sky of the Magic Tower

The reason why Lin attaches so much importance to this matter is that even if he writes Chinese himself in the past, even if he writes a wrong character, other people who read it can infer the correct meaning and wrong character from the context. Will not affect reading at all.

Midi’s Pinyin text has 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, and other readers can understand it. There are certain rules for making characters.

I am not a linguist who is lost. Lin Ke can’t guarantee that there will be such low-level errors in his manuscripts. If it’s a normal correspondence, or show it to your apprentices and other close people, that’s fine. If you write a typo, that’s fine. It’s okay to understand it anyway. Even if you don’t understand it, it’s nothing to ask.

But now it is a rigorous publication. A typo, this thing, will only undermine the authority of this journal. If it can be avoided, it can be avoided.

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

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

Uzov Gantia and the craftsmen who came to support from the Technical Guild have left. Regarding the fees that Lin had to pay, Uzov took care of it. After all, the Technology Association had its own large dividends that had not been taken away. Someone’s original intention was to put this money in the guild as one of the capital used by Uzov, and to use it at this time. This saves time for moving coins.

As for financial institutions like banks, someone still doesn’t want to touch it, or even mention it. It is a rare beast that is irreversible after being released. In this world with Spiritual God, someone doesn’t want to touch someone’s mold and cause trouble to the upper body.

In the printing workshop, only the Academy and a few magicians are left, who are curiously huddling around the machine. Others were touching the large, full-open white paper, as if thinking about something.

Of course, there is the sword that someone didn’t take away, chatting with everyone happily. But obviously, everyone is a little far away from the box cut. It’s not that everyone is not curious about this sword, or to show someone to avoid suspicion, so deliberately staying away from this sword, everyone is purely scared.

The’excellent’ reputation of the Xiaqie clan is not that unfamiliar to the magicians of Holy City, especially magicians of their status. No one is not vigilant about a weapon that can snoop into the heart of the holder, but at least other cynicisms can’t speak. However, this sword can speak, and it is a piece of news that is enough to make people break down for any holder.

Even if this cynicism did not blur out someone’s secret, everyone was tacitly refrained from spying. For those who dare to hold this sword, no one wants to let himself have an excuse for being thrust into it. So these conversations are more of unnutritious social rhetoric.

As soon as Lin entered the door, regardless of the atmosphere here, he said directly: “Academy, thank you for agreeing to use a lecturer lounge as a proofreading studio.”

Although Lin is the only lecturer in the Mathematics Building, all the assets in the Academy belong to this Academy. You can’t bypass this Senior in whatever you want to do.

The reason why I didn’t find other classrooms or lounges was because in the room originally intended for someone to use, the furniture has ready-made furniture, and you can move it a little bit and you can work. The other rooms are still empty, and they can only sit on the floor very hard.

“Little guy, come here, come here and teach me how to use this.” The big magician Kaban called someone affectionately, without concealing his curiosity about the printing press, pointing The control panel whose interface has been locked by a password.

After unlocking the console lock, Lin explained to this Senior the principle of the linkage and operation of the various parts of the printing press. The reason why I dared to distribute the machine parts to the people of the technical guild instead of doing it myself was because the program that controlled the printing was written by myself.

Even if someone else has copied it, without this program control, the martial arts of the printing press will have to be scrapped at least half. Among other things, the printing plate alone has to go back to the old road of engraving. Mystery, but there is no movable type.

Even if someone imitates a machine, just preparing the engraving and changing the plate during printing will take more than twice the time. Of course, even so, compared to Midi’s original printing technology, it is still an unimaginable leap.

The control program on the machine, in addition to automatically paginating and typesetting the input text file, can also make some simple edits and modifications. So anyone who wants to print books or flyers, as long as the magic stone stored with text files is placed in a special control slot for reading.

As for newspapers…there are all forums, who reads the newspapers?

Although the information on the forum is unorganized, it is quite messy. However, newspapers are destined to impossible to take the high price route, and they can only open the situation with low prices and sales. For some people who are not afraid of trouble and even like to visit forums, newspapers are not attractive. So as long as the forum was born, there was no soil for running newspapers.

But looking at this machine, the first question of the great magician Kabanbai was: “Is there a way to print magic scrolls or magic books?”

” Unfortunately, no.” The other party asked simply, Lin also answered neatly: “The old problem still has not been solved, the paper still has ink.”

“I look at the ink supply slot on this printing machine, and There are no restrictions. Or do you not have a good ink formula and material sources?” Kabanbai asked unwillingly

After thinking about it, Lin decided to support the Die and said: “The Academy is long, and it doesn’t To tell you the truth, I have done research on the printing of magic words. I found that even writing the most common magic words will draw magic power from the writer, which is the same as making magic scrolls. It’s just the craftsmanship of making scrolls. It must be more refined, and there are requirements for the mental state of the producer, 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 can also Need to consider how to input capabilities in the printing process?” The magician Kabanbai immediately thought of the key points.

Moreover, in the process of copying magical knowledge, power may be needed. In fact, magicians also implicitly make this inference. The reason is that it is so simple to write homework that no ordinary person can do it successfully. You know, this is not making magic scrolls.

It’s just until now. The work of copying is regarded as a part of the accumulation of knowledge by magic apprentices, and magicians don’t want to find an ordinary person who has nothing to do with magic. Over time, copying by apprentices has become everyone’s perception of as it should be by rights, and no one deliberately looks for the reason 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 Whether it is a magic book or a magic scroll, it is necessary to figure out how much power is required for each rune and each stroke in order to ensure the completion of the production without losing control.”

Talking about out of control The situation makes the magician present feel distressed. The magic is out of control, but it is not as simple as failure, and the consequences that follow are unpredictable and difficult to prevent. The explosion and the backlash itself are actually small things. The most fearful thing is to become a springboard for a certain foreign domain to invade the mysterious land. This is the blame for all deaths.

Lin patted the printing press, said: “This kind of meticulous work cannot be done by the machine. It needs the experience of the producer to accumulate over a long period of time and become an instinctive craft. . What the machine can do is simple and repetitive work. If you have experience in making magic puppets, you know what kind of work can be given to these stupid people.”

Speaking of technologies that everyone is familiar with, the experience of those present can be said to be more abundant than that of Lin. The situation he was talking about, everyone felt sad. But the great magician Kabanbai asked one more sentence: “What if you use mathematical analysis?”

“Mathematical analysis should be okay.” Lin shrugged and said, “But at the beginning, I just analyzed one The apprentice-level magic, which took the least time, has been studied for nearly a month. As for those that are too complicated, I don’t even dare to touch them. Not to mention that even if it is resolved, I still haven’t mastered how to use the machine. The method of injecting power and how to cooperate between the two.”

Being poured with a bucket of cold water, don’t say how disappointed the great magician Kabanbai is. But after thinking about it, he was relieved. Although this printing machine cannot exert greater value, the journal of mathematics can be published smoothly, and it seems that it is not a big problem to issue a thousand copies in one issue, and it has an incalculable value for the Academy.

Now he and Kabanbai Academy, although not all of their net worth is bet on mathematics. But in the academic status of Holy City Estali, the two are vaguely linked by outsiders. It can be said that if one prospers, all prospers, if one suffers, all suffers. Although this is not my original intention, it does not seem to be a bad thing to really 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. The former is not of much value in magician’s eyes, 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 strategic materials. What is the meaning of making magic scrolls in large quantities? Someone can think with their knees to know that it is not good.

To really make such a printing magic machine, let alone the question of whether I can keep it, I can imagine that there will be countless troubles, and there is no end. The most fucking disgusting thing is that the magic scrolls produced are not sold, nor are they not sold, it is a big trouble.
