What Lin printed casually directly predicted the special climate changes in the next hundred years.
It was made into a thirty-second volume. Because of the large number of pages, it was bound by perfect binding. In addition to the production, Lin also recorded the process and made it into a file like a printing press instruction manual.
But compared to the binding method of glue binding, I was even more surprised when I saw the content of Kabamba, the Great Magician of the Perpetual Calendar. However, although this book seems to have good financial prospects, I don’t know how many people’s jobs it will ruin. I thought of the forum
As for scribes, perpetual calendars and astrologers, Kabanbai shuddered when he looked at this young man who was ruining people's livelihood everywhere.
In the end, the only perpetual calendar printed by Lin using the printing press was shelved at the suggestion of the great magician Kabamba.
At present, the priority is still on the distribution of mathematical journals, and there is no need to expose the perpetual calendar and open another front. Even though this thing is very convenient for many people.
This was exactly what someone wanted, so Lin readily accepted the old man's opinion.
The proofreading work for the first issue of the mathematics journal took one day longer than expected. The main reason was that the ten apprentices were addicted to editing. When they saw any sentences that were not smooth, they all wanted to discuss them.
Then someone was besieged by ten people at the same time, and there were ten suggestions for improvement. Later, Lin felt deeply that there should be a clearer standard for proofreading and editing. Otherwise, it would not be an option.
What's even worse is that this time I also deeply experienced how superficial my mastery of the Midi language is. This word is derived from the root of Lombard, or the root of Saxon, from what?
The period begins to appear, which level it belongs to in the comparison of comparisons. Every apprentice can tell a trick, and then scare someone into a daze.
Some usages, strictly speaking, can be attributed to the local dialects used in the southwestern peninsula of Midi. They are not used in this way in the holy city of Estali, but are used in formal books and documents, and there are also more formal usages. These are not
You have to talk about it, just change it.
In addition, there are some strange grammar. Although it is not incomprehensible, it takes some time to think about it. For this point, someone is speechless. Look carefully at the selected parts.
, mostly based on my own language habits before time travel. When used to talk to others in spoken language, it is not a big problem; but when it is written into a book, such usage is not so rigorous.
Although someone has written a lot of textbooks, and some of them have even been circulated. However, it was not until today that someone actually corrected these parts. It makes everyone feel like they are editing a mathematics journal, but they are actually taking a Chinese course.
.
Because there are many errors like this, Lin needs to finalize the correction plan himself to ensure that the meaning of the text is the opinion he wants to express. Therefore, by the time the proofreading is completed, there are only four days left for printing.
A password is required to open the control panel interface of the printing press. Except for Lin who knew it, he had only told the great magician Kabambai before. At the suggestion of the dean, the password has not been given to the front-line staff for the time being. To use
When the time came, the two of them took the trouble and turned on the machine themselves. As for the typesetting work, only Lin can handle it at this stage.
However, the entire front-line printing operation still needs someone to lead it. This person cannot be Lin personally. Even if someone is watching almost from beginning to end this time, it is only for the first issue, and it is unlikely to be used again later.
Do this.
The one who was selected to lead the team of ten apprentices was the young apprentice who finally stood up and led the others to think and discuss during the first trial printing under Lin's instruction.
The college president's direct disciple has good courage, ability, and status, so it was decided that he would temporarily lead the entire team.
The paper and ink required for printing are still being delivered in the past few days. The ink will have a shelf life, so the amount is not too much. But the paper basically has no shelf life, and it may turn yellow if kept for a long time, but as long as it is not
Even if it becomes brittle, it can still be used. Compared with the paper used in non-magical books, the paper used in mathematical journals is superior in all aspects, except that it cannot be used to record magic.
The actual printing time for a thousand volumes, sixty-four pages, and sixteenth format mathematics journal took less than half a day in total. More time was spent on moving and cutting paper. This also allowed the apprentices to understand why a
When I first met the magician, he said that printing was a manual job, not a technical job.
As the volumes of journals gradually take shape, another question comes to the surface: What to do with the book cover? The extended question is which binding method should be used when it is officially published?
The method of saddle stitching is undoubtedly the simplest, but it always feels like something is missing. According to this group of young apprentices, it lacks the solemnity of the book. But it needs to be hard-covered like a hardcover book.
It's probably too late, and the inside pages aren't quite big enough.
At this time, a batch of newly delivered paper solved everyone's urgent need. It was a batch of trial works of cloud paper. It was improved based on the method provided by someone, and azurite powder was added to the paper pulp production process to make the paper appear more beautiful.
A very soft cyan color.
The original purpose of the cloud paper was to make business cards, bookmarks, book cards, greeting cards, invitations, etc. After it was delivered, several apprentices saw that it was thicker than ordinary paper. In total,
A few people decided to use cloud paper as a book cover, and even the cover was painted.
This was good, even the design work was completed, but the salary was still not increased. Someone pretended to be stupid, praised him a few times, and then imported the designed cover into the typesetting interface of the printing press.
Everyone was a little surprised that hand-drawn patterns and artistic fonts could be imported directly. But thinking about the various input methods on the forum, even all kinds of weird magic circles were no problem, and not just text input, everyone was surprised.
relieved.
With the cover in hand, Lin easily edited the list of publishers, text editors, working teams and collaborators on the bottom page, as well as basic data such as publication, first printing date, etc. The most important thing is of course the future submissions.
Methods and conditions.
Everyone was quite surprised that they were lucky enough to be listed on the back page of the journal. Generally, when copying magic books, the scribe is not allowed to leave his or her name. Even if it is possible, no one would dare to leave it. If they copy something wrong,
At the critical point, the victimized magician follows the clues and comes to the door, and is over in minutes.
After all, the nature of the journal is different from that of ordinary magic books. No one knows whether it is good or bad for the time being. But for the great magician Kabanbai, it is just a matter of laughter. When the young underachiever was promoted, he was not yet familiar with it.
Forget about your own efforts, this is more important than any other benefits.
Finally, everyone who signed the journal agreed. When everything was ready, Lin started the machine and printed out the final cover and back pages.
Although the binding method is simple, the speed is not fast, and everyone's movements seem to be a bit stumbling. The main reason is that the speed of page checking is too slow, and everyone is not yet proficient. In fact, when Lin is printing, the layout is not arranged in sequence.
, but according to a special work order. But when everyone is busy, it becomes chaotic, and no one cares about the order.
So don't look at the number of one thousand copies. It was completed very quickly during printing, but the time for cutting and binding took several times more. Especially if the number of pages was misplaced, the saddle stitches had to be removed and rearranged.
This situation has happened many times.
But finally everything was done in time on the last day of June, and the last saddle nail was driven in. One thousand copies of the first issue of the Mathematics Journal was officially declared completed.
In order to celebrate the completion within the deadline, the principal of the college, Kabanbai, also spent his own money to have the chef of the restaurant in the college prepare a feast to reward the ten magic apprentices who have been busy these days. Although the weight of sixty-four pages is not enough
Calling it a 'book' is still debatable; but in just a few days, ten people were able to complete a thousand copies. This is definitely a feat that has never been seen before.
Of course, Lin was also present at this banquet. As the founder of a journal, it is unjustifiable to ignore the front-line people responsible for publishing work. Moreover, the great magician Kabambai can also be said to be a noble person since he came to the Holy City.
, in many places, you can see that the other party spares no effort to help you, but you should also show some expression.
The chamber of commerce related to the college was entrusted, and at the suggestion of the college president, a batch of 'good wine' from the Holy City was sent. This usually only appeared at the official magician's banquet, and it was rare for apprentices to have the opportunity to drink it.
, the fruit wine brewed by the wood elves who belong to the world tree Yggdrasil, the kind that is not intoxicating.
The purpose of issuing such a heavy copy is to win over these ten apprentices who help with printing so that they can continue the printing job in the future. Because it is the same with any job, there is a gap in work efficiency between novices and experienced people. These ten people
At least I have experience, it's better than having some newbies come in next time who don't know anything and start teaching from scratch.
Of course, this plan was discussed with the principal of the college first and received support. Losing the job of copying was an unbearable blow to many magic apprentices. Some had no choice but to rejoin the adventure; others chose to take risks.
A bigger way to make money is to make magic scrolls.
The former has life-threatening dangers, and there are no opportunities for adventurers to come forward near the Holy City, so they can only go far away. The latter has the danger of losing control of magic and the possibility of production failure. Neither of them is that
Stable source of income.
Especially for a magic apprentice, the level of scrolls that can be made is limited. The income deducts the cost of materials and the opportunity cost of failure, and often loses money and pays back. Therefore, magic apprentices who can provide themselves with their disciples and grandchildren have a stable source of income, and the great magician
Kabamba seemed very happy and believed that no one would refuse.
With this veteran as his guarantee, as expected, as soon as Lin opened his mouth, everyone hurriedly agreed, fearing that they would lose this opportunity. All kinds of flattering words were uttered in rapid succession. If it weren't for someone who was determined and thick-skinned, the table would have been a mess tonight.
The soup is really unbearable.
However, looking at this group of excited young people, it is hard to imagine how everyone was obviously relieved when someone showed up tonight, but another person who was so beautiful that I don’t know how to describe it did not show up. Regarding this,
Lin could only laugh or cry with his attitude. It seemed that the Demon King had also created his own legend in this era.
