The reason why Lin attaches so much importance to this matter is because even if he writes Chinese in the past, even if he writes a wrong word, other readers can infer the correct meaning from the context of the text, and the wrong word will not affect it at all.
The pinyin text of Midi has a similar situation. In addition to typos, the pinyin text can also use each root to create a new word to describe a new thing. But this new word is not written casually, other readers will
It is understandable that it has certain rules for word formation.
He is not a lost linguist, and Lin cannot guarantee whether there will be such low-level errors in his manuscript. If it is a normal correspondence, or for his apprentices or other close people to read,
That's fine. If you make a typo, forget it. Anyway, you can understand it. Even if you don't understand, it doesn't matter if you ask a question.
But now that this is a rigorous publication, typos will only undermine the authority of this journal and should be avoided if possible.
The best way is, of course, to hire professionals. I believe that for the sake of money, these ten apprentices will not just deal with the business casually.
After cleaning up the mathematics building, a room that was originally used for 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. Now it has been renamed the printer's office.
Time.
Uzov Gantia and the craftsmen who came to support the technical guild have left. Regarding the fees that Lin has to pay, Uzov will handle it on his behalf. After all, the technical guild has its own large dividends that have not yet been taken away.
The original intention was to put this money in the guild as one of the capitals used by Uzov, and to use it at times like this. This would save time in moving coins.
As for financial institutions like banks, someone still doesn’t want to get involved, or even mention it. It is a financial monster that will be irreversible after being released. In this world with gods, someone doesn’t want to touch anyone.
Bad luck brings trouble.
In the printing workshop, only the dean and a few magicians were left, curiously surrounding the machine and touching here and there. Some people were also touching the large stack of white paper, as if they were thinking about something.
.
Of course, there is also the sword that someone did not take away, and he is happily chatting with everyone. But it is obvious that everyone is a little far away from Hakiri. This is not because everyone is not curious about this sword, or to ask someone
He was trying to avoid suspicion, so he deliberately stayed away from the sword. Everyone was just scared.
The 'excellent' reputation of the Haggiri clan is not unfamiliar to magicians in the Holy City, especially magicians of their status. No one is wary of a weapon that can peer into the heart of the holder.
, but at least other Hagakiri cannot speak. However, this sword can speak, which is devastating news for any holder.
Even if the Hakakiri didn't blurt out someone's secret, everyone had a tacit understanding not to pry. For those who dare to hold this sword, no one wants to give themselves an excuse to be stabbed. So these conversations,
It's more of a useless 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 the lecturer's lounge as a proofreading studio."
Although Lin is the only lecturer in the mathematics building, the property in the college still belongs to the dean, and no matter what he wants to do, he cannot bypass this old man.
The reason why I didn't find another classroom or rest room is because the furniture in the room that was originally intended for someone to use was ready-made and could be used for work with a little bit of moving. But the other rooms were still empty, so it was very difficult.
Sit down on the ground.
"Xiao Gai, come here, come here, teach me how to use this." The great magician Kabamba called someone affectionately, not hiding his curiosity about the printing press at all, pointing to the interface that had been locked by a password.
Live control panel.
After unlocking the console, Lin briefly explained to the old man the principles of the linkage and operation of the various parts of the printing press. The reason why he dared to hand over the machine parts to people from the technical guild instead of doing it himself was a lot of trouble.
, because the program that controls printing is written by myself.
Even if someone else imitates it, without this program control, at least half of the printing press's capabilities will be wasted. If nothing else, the printing plate alone will have to go back to the old path of engraving. Mi Di doesn't even have a movable type plate.
Even if others imitate the machine, the time required to prepare the engraving and change plates during printing will more than double. Of course, even so, it is still an unimaginable big jump compared to Midi's original printing technology.
The control program on the machine, in addition to automatically paginating and typesetting the input text file, can also make some simple editing modifications. So whoever wants to print books or flyers, just need to save the text file.
The magic stone can be placed in a special control slot for reading.
As for newspapers...there are forums, but who reads the newspapers?
Although the information on the forum is unorganized and quite messy, newspapers are destined to be unable 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 visit forums, newspapers
It has no appeal. Therefore, as early as the birth of the forum, there was no ground for running a newspaper.
But looking at this machine, the first question the great magician Kabanbai asked was: "Is there a way to print magic scrolls or magic books?"
"Unfortunately, no." The other party asked simply, and Lin answered neatly: "The old problem still hasn't been solved, paper and ink."
"I see that there are no restrictions on the ink supply tank on this printing press. Or do you mean that you don't have a good grasp of the ink formula and material sources?" Kabamba asked relentlessly.
After thinking about it, Lin decided to back it up and said: "Dean, I will tell you that I have done some research on printing magic words. I found that even if you just write the most common magic words, you will learn from the writer.
Absorbing magical power is the same as making a magic scroll. However, the craftsmanship of making the scroll must be more precise, and it also requires the mental state of the maker, and there is even a possibility of failure."
"You mean, it's not just about 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 Kabamba suddenly thought of the key point.
Moreover, in the process of copying magical knowledge, power may be required. In fact, magicians also vaguely have such inferences. The reason is that it is such a simple writing assignment that no ordinary person can succeed in it. You must know this
It's not about making magic scrolls.
It's just that copying has always been regarded as a part of the knowledge accumulation of magic apprentices, and magicians would 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 have apprentices copy.
cognition, and no one is deliberately looking 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 inputting 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 understand how much power is required for each rune and each stroke to ensure that the production is completed without causing an out-of-control explosion."
Speaking of out-of-control situations, it made the magicians present feel distressed. When magic is out of control, it is not as simple as failure. The consequences that follow are unpredictable and difficult to prevent. Explosions and backlash are actually small things.
What I fear most is that it will become a springboard for some kind of extraterrestrial existence to invade the lost land. This will inevitably lead to death.
Lin patted the printing machine table and said: "This kind of detailed work cannot be done by a machine. What is needed is the manufacturer's accumulated experience over time, which has become an instinctive craft. All the machine can do is simple and repetitive.
Sexual work. If you have experience in making golems, you will know what kind of work can be given to these stupid big guys."
When it comes to technologies that everyone is familiar with, the people present have more experience than Lin. Everyone is concerned about the situation he mentioned. But the great magician Kabambai asked one more question: "
What if we use mathematical analysis?”
"It should be no problem to use mathematical analysis." Lin shrugged and said: "But when I just analyzed an apprentice-level magic, it took me the least time to study it. As for those magics that are too complicated,
I don’t even dare to touch it. Not to mention that even if it is analyzed, I still haven’t figured out how to use a machine to inject power, and how to cooperate between the two.”
Being poured a bucket of cold water on him, the great magician Kaban said goodbye and said how disappointed he was. But after thinking about it, he was relieved. Although this printing machine could not exert greater value, the Journal of Optical Mathematics could be published smoothly, and
Now it seems that publishing a thousand copies in one issue is not a big problem, and it will be of inestimable value to the academy.
Now, although he and Kabamba College have not invested all their wealth in mathematics, their academic status in the holy city of Estali is vaguely linked by outsiders. It can be said that one is prosperous and the other is prosperous.
We all lose. Although this is not my original intention, it doesn't seem to be a bad thing if we continue on this path.
For Lin, the printing press can only print books other than magic, and it can produce magic scrolls, which are two completely different things. The former does not have much value in the eyes of magicians, it is just a convenient tool
That’s all. What is truly valuable is the printed words and the meaning represented by their contents.
But if the printing press can produce magic scrolls, this machine will rise to the level of a strategic-level material. What is the meaning of mass production of magic scrolls? Someone can know that it is not good even if you think about it on your knees.
If you really build such a printing magic machine, let's not talk about 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 damn disgusting thing is that it was made
The magic scroll is neither for sale nor for sale, it is just a big trouble.
