Early in the morning in the college, students in the enlightenment class were doing morning exercises. The shouts of the children, big and small, were very loud, as if they were trying to spit out the air in their chests. Everyone was exercising like a mud monkey, dripping with sweat, and their whole body was covered in sweat.
There is a stream of hot steam.
Afterwards, they will enter the newly built large bathroom, wash themselves well, and then face the whole day of classes. This is a big benefit to everyone because of the bathroom equipment planned by someone. Otherwise, these children
I'm afraid I have to endure the stench of sweat and be squeezed into a small classroom with the teachers on a hot day, which is quite unpleasant.
This is also because the magicians in Lost Land all follow a wild style of painting. The magicians have to fight for muscle size, but they may not lose to the warriors. Therefore, in the enlightenment stage, most academies are like the Orange School founded by Lin.
Like Eton College, it attaches great importance to children's physical training.
If you have time, someone would like to get back into the habit of morning exercise. After all, your body is your own. If something happens to you, whether it's illness or a knife, no one else can do it for you.
But there was no time for that today. As soon as Lin entered the academy, he was immediately greeted by the apprentices of the great magician Kabamba and led to the mathematics building. Although he was old, he was usually a energetic principal, but today he was
There was something different. With a hint of apology and maybe some anger, he looked at the person who appeared with a little disappointment and said:
"Sir, I'm sorry, I can only find ten qualified scribes. If it's really urgent, my students and I can help. But I haven't done this kind of thing for a long time, maybe the speed is not
Young man, I really want to find more people, but those magic apprentices who are good at copying seem to have disappeared. These people are still the disciples of us old guys, which is really embarrassing."
"Ten, that's too much, that's too much." Lin comforted the old man. He also heard a hint from the words of the great magician Kabanbai that someone was making a stumbling block in this regard.
But everyone except Lin had angry looks on their faces. They were quite disapproving of a certain magician who did not know his own abilities, and old grudges were rekindled.
As long as they are scribes, it is impossible not to have grudges against the creators of the forum. Before the forum, their main source of income was copying books on magic knowledge for magicians and magician associations.
After the forum was established, many magicians chose 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 was blocked
Not only were there people obstructing the recruitment of scribes at short notice, but people with scribe experience were also holding back their resentment and refused to come.
The reason why these few are here is because the great magician Kabanbai or several other magicians from the academy are their teachers, or their teachers’ teachers. The teacher has spoken and they have to come. Otherwise they will be beaten to death.
There is nowhere to redress the injustice.
However, based on past experience, it is very common for books like this that are to be sold to the public to be prepared one or two years in advance, and then put on the store shelves after a certain number of copies have been accumulated. There are even people copying,
The situation is like selling one copy as soon as it is finished. Now there are only seven days left! What can be done? It takes more than this time to make a book cover.
Ignoring the disgust on everyone's faces, Lin still followed the example of a leader and shouted to everyone first. He said: "Thank you all for coming to help me produce a mathematical journal. There are still seven days left, and there are not many things to do.
But I don’t use the ordinary copying method, so the time is not as urgent as you think. The next work will of course make use of your talents, but it also requires some effort. Everyone present, basically
There is no problem with apprentice-level magic. Such as giant power and light object magic. Can I ask you to introduce yourselves first and let me get to know you. We still have some time before waiting for my things to arrive. Waiting for things
Once we arrive, we’ll get busy.”
Is there printing in Midland? Yes, of course, it is just printing in Midi or a very simple engraving printing method. However, the main reason why printing in Midi is not popular is because it cannot be used for words related to magic.
.
When transcribing magic incantations or magic circles, even if they are just simple notes rather than magic scrolls, the carrier and ink must not be careless. If you use ordinary ink to write words that can carry power, the words will disappear after a period of time.
No traces can be left. Sometimes ordinary paper cannot bear it and becomes brittle and breaks when touched.
When used for printing, the ink has a special formula, which is different from ordinary ink. This kind of ink that can be used for printing is also a type that cannot carry power. So far, magicians have not found one that is suitable for both uses.
Ink is used, so the scope of use of Midi's printing technology is limited to the circles of nobles and countries, that is, non-magical fields.
However, the powerful rulers of Midi still maintain a rather backward idea of stupid people, always believing that the people must be stupid to rule easily. After all, due to the dangerous natural environment, the people of Midi still maintain a certain amount of force even at the lowest level. If
No matter how much people's wisdom is broadened, these rulers will no longer be alive. Therefore, the printing technology in the Lost Land does not have a good development space like it does on the Earth.
This is also a misunderstanding among most magicians. They are used to copying books. They always think that magic books can only be copied, but they never thought that mathematics is not magic...
Once they figured out this key, most people's tangled brows relaxed a little. Although the printing technology known to magicians has very rough handwriting and is not easy to preserve, at least it can overcome the current hurdle.
method, everyone has nothing to complain about.
Maybe, things are not as bad as imagined.
With a relatively relaxed mood, the magic apprentices present began to introduce themselves. It was nothing more than that they studied under so-and-so, how many levels they had, what magic content they had copied, etc.
After everyone finally finished the introduction, and Lin talked a lot of useless nonsense, Kabanbai had time to ask: "So what you are waiting for now is the engraving for printing? I don't know how many sets of this part have been completed.
Already?"
There is a limit to the number of times engravings can be used for printing, but people who are not concerned about this technology probably won't know about this issue. Therefore, the great magician Kabanbai can ask this, and his knowledge and knowledge can be considered very profound.
Yes.
But someone still shook his head and said, "Engraving? I didn't make anything like that."
The great magician who had just crawled out of the mire of hell felt as if he had been kicked deeper into the depths and was completely destroyed. It would take more time to make engravings that could print a set of books than to copy them.
Well. There is nothing now. Is it possible that it can be changed directly without any magic? Could it be that this man has created some new magic, such as book making, reading and writing, etc.
The old man with a bad heart was just about to grab someone around him, struggle with it, and moan, when news came from his student who had become an official magician. "Teacher, there is a car and horse team at the door. They said
They are delivering the goods that Lord Tripwood needs. Do you want to let them in?"
Because of the previous incident where the inspector team broke in with the intention of arresting someone, the president of Kabanbai Academy ordered to strengthen the security level of the academy. Intruders will be beaten first and then questioned. If they are not sure of being captured alive, they will be killed on the spot. This is completely based on confidential locations.
level to guard.
Therefore, when an outsider who is not from the academy wishes to enter, he or she must obtain permission from any of the three academy managers, including him, the dean, before they can enter.
When Lin next to him heard this, he knew that the printing equipment had been sent, and he quickly said: "That should be the printing equipment and printing paper sent by the Technical Guild. I have been waiting for them for a long time. Please invite them in quickly and directly
Come to the Mathematics Building to unload the goods."
In fact, as early as six nights ago, when he learned that there was a magician's banquet about mathematics, Lin roughly speculated on various possible events and changes, and imagined ways to break the situation. The issuance of the mathematics journal was decided at that time.
One of the solutions. Regardless of whether it is used to solve a certain problem, running a journal is beneficial but not harmful to a certain time traveler.
I have thought about using the convenience of the forum to publish the content of journals. However, the convenience of the forum has actually become an obstacle to the plan to establish an academic authority. Because everyone can speak, and the review of the content is also difficult.
It’s not easy to do. In comparison, a paper physical book can easily achieve things that a forum-based electronic book cannot.
Now that we have decided to use physical books, it is absolutely not feasible to use copying methods as in the past under the premise of mass sales. Not to mention how many copyists will be hired to achieve the original idea if we plan to publish one issue a month.
scale. At this time, there is no doubt that we should start to click on the technology tree of printing.
As a traveler, when talking about printing, what comes to someone’s mind is not movable type printing, but the Manroland automatic cylinder printing machine...
When I was a child, in an era when the distinction between factories and homes was not clear, there was a small printing factory near my hometown. There was a German-made Manroland small automatic cylinder printing machine in it.
Even the antiques left over from the World War II era were rare high-tech products for small and medium-sized enterprises at that time. So at that time, I liked to run there when I had nothing to do and watch the drum printing machine operating amidst the noise of the motor.
Of course, one of the reasons is that there is a child about the same age as me in the printing factory, and I want to play with him.
Because of that experience, when I think of printing presses, that Manroland comes to mind. And it doesn’t just have a rough shape and outline, but it’s so detailed that you can clearly see where a screw should be locked.
Degree.
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 must-have for everyone, but for someone, it is a long-awaited plug-in. What is the reason?
How long will it last? Is this a sign that things will eventually turn upside down? None of this is known. Anyway, I tried my best to make the most of it before the onset of my dementia.
