The printing press planned to be copied is said to be small, but in fact it is about half the size of an ordinary car on Earth. If you just rely on yourself to make it, it will take several months no matter how fast it is.
So five days ago, that is, the day after I learned about the banquet, I stored all the drawings of Manroland drawn from memory, the manufacturing process of printing paper, and the formula of printing ink in the magic stone. A copy was given to Uzov Gantia in the form of an e-book. Let him find suitable candidates from among the craftsmen of the Bathroom Equipment Technology Guild to distribute the various components.
Because it was manufactured in a decentralized manner, Uzov was told at the time to make it as perfect as possible according to the design drawings. But after all, it was a product of World War II. Even if the accuracy is really a little bit worse, there is actually no big problem. At that time, the requirements for precision were not so critical.
At that time, Uzov complained a little, saying that they were a sanitary equipment technical guild. These things have nothing to do with bathroom equipment.
Someone replied with a smile: "Do you really plan to be a toilet for the rest of your life?"
Only then did Uzov realize what kind of people he had gathered and what they could accomplish.
Then in five days, using the power of the technical guild - with compensation, of course -, the parts for an automated drum printing press were manufactured. Also delivered are fully qualified printing papers and inks.
It was precisely with the support of such a technical guild that Lin had mastered their progress before. Only then did he dare to announce at the banquet that he was preparing to issue the first issue of the mathematics journal just a few days before July 1st.
Seeing ten carriages of different shapes and from different workshops driving to the front of the Mathematics Building, Lin could not help but feel a sense of ambition. What a wonderful thing it is to open up an era, especially with the experience of the earth at the forefront, which makes people avoid many detours and makes success almost easy.
But thinking about the failure experience of Chengguo Eton College, I realized that when people's hearts are involved, I can't step too fast. It's like the saying I once heard: 'Those who are one step ahead in technology are geniuses, but those who are ten steps ahead in technology are madmen. '
But when you use it yourself, you can use technology that is beyond the times to make others cry and call their mother. This is the feeling of being a time traveler.
Because it was something that had never been seen before, the craftsmen also made different parts according to the design drawings and construction method requirements, so even after helping to move all the goods into the mathematics building, no one left. Everyone wants to see what the assembled thing looks like and what it can be used for.
Of course, Lin had no objection to having a bunch of strong men for nothing. All the assembly processes are in his mind. Using whiteboard technique, he can not only clearly indicate which parts are needed, where they should be placed, how to put them, and how to assemble them, but also with actual light and shadow lines. , people understand immediately.
Even if there are some differences in accuracy, the problem can always be solved with more spacers and more hammers. Could it be that a dozen craftsmen, a dozen magic apprentices, and several magicians in a room would be stumped by a machine?
When this monster, which in the eyes of others was bigger than a golem, was gradually assembled, everyone was so surprised that they didn't know how to evaluate it. In comparison, the cart of large sheets of white paper was not that surprising.
Although the paper is white and the paper is large, at most it is just a difference in the production process, and everyone can still understand what the things are used for. How do you make it so big, so white, and so flat? Just ask me when you have time. But no one could tell what the purpose of this steel monster was, so everyone couldn't help but be curious.
It took less than half a day to complete the printing machine, with not even a single screw left. The power source was obtained from a silver-bearded dwarf, a prototype that had been prepared before, but would have insufficient horsepower as the main power of a peaceful armed force, and was assembled on the flywheel that provided power.
The power source is a motor driven by magic power, rather than a gasoline engine that cannot be stably supplied by current fuel sources.
But this machine is far from complete, because the printing plate is still blank.
If the general brain circuit is normal and the people are traveling through time, then of course they will learn movable type, and then invent some kind of word detection system to continue to shock everyone. But this is the Lost World, a magical world. Among a pile of ordinary metal creations, Uzov Gantia personally moved the only piece of magic metal and installed it in the position of the printing plate.
Coincidentally, the name of this metal is also called manroland, as if it was destined. The characteristic of manroland metal is that it is very sensitive to magic shaping and can perform various precise flower work. For magicians who make golems, this metal is usually used to create some complex parts.
The disadvantage is that this metal is relatively soft among magic metals. Therefore, these parts on the golem have become consumables and need to be maintained or replaced from time to time. And such a small shortcoming is not a problem at all to someone. hacker
On the control platform that is not found on the original Manroland automatic cylinder printing press, there is a standard-sized Huang Shang-level magic stone. This can be regarded as the second most expensive material on this machine.
Only then did Lin load the typesetting program he had previously edited using P language on this magic stone. This process mainly operates the shaping technique, so that the manroland metal will actually change with the designed layout, that is, it will become a relief stamping body.
This is why someone would simply abandon the method of movable type printing and go back to the old path of woodblock printing. Because the metal plate controlled by magic shaping can be arbitrarily changed into the desired shape with the typesetting program, there is no problem whether it is text or pictures, and there is no need for engraving time for engraving, or inspection for movable type printing. word time.
During the test run, everyone watched with their own eyes how the smooth, mirror-like piece of magic metal turned into a relief plate full of text under someone's control. Continuous changes, fast and accurate. What is incomprehensible is that one page seems to be divided into four quadrants, with four pages of content printed, and the content is not continuous. But after all, the characters are backwards and change quickly, so some people think they just saw it wrong.
After testing the printing plate, the next step is to start the motor and prepare to test the actual smooth operation of the entire printing press. But as the noise of the motor sounded, news of a group of uninvited guests also came. A student of the great magician Kabambai reported that the Dharma Saint Babak Abnahan led a group of magicians to see the math teacher, Guybrash Tripwood.
To be honest, I didn't have an appointment with that person, so Lin didn't know what the other person was planning to do. However, considering the presence of a Dharma Saint in person and the number of people he brings, even if the academy wants to take a tough stance, it may not be enough to defeat them. No matter how you put it here, they are all educational units. They are serious active-duty combat troops who are just on vacation.
So after a few discussions between Lin and the great magician Kabanbai, they agreed to let the other party enter. At least, you need to know what the other party is planning before you can make the next response.
Like a loud voice that pretends to be bold, you can hear Babak Abunahan's shouts a long way away from the mathematics building. He shouted loudly and said: "Young man, you have made a bold statement to publish a journal, and there are only a few days left. Are you sure, do you want Big Brother to help you? Phew, there are quite a few carriages at the door. , how many people have been found to help.”
After all, the visitor had a Dharma Saint, so the dean of the college and the current sole owner of the mathematics building came out to greet him. Seeing that there are more than ten people on the other side, they are approaching fiercely. If they really want to clash with each other, the academy side does not look like a rival.
"Lord Abu Nahan." As a junior, Lin was the first to greet him. However, Dharma Saint Babak Abunahan and the magician Abanbai, who grew up in the college, greeted each other with courtesy.
Although in terms of status, it seems that Dharma Saint Abu Nahan is relatively high. But in fact, Abambai is not only older than him, but also in terms of qualifications and achievements, he will not lose to this 'young' Dharma Saint - he is fifty or sixty years old, which is considered young for anyone with this title. ——, and was the captain of the First Magical Brigade before him.
Moreover, the gap between the Great Magician and the Dharma Saint is actually not as big as outsiders imagine. It's not so much a gap in strength as it is a gap in reputation. It is not unheard of for a Dharma Saint who is too ostentatious to be counterattacked by a sophisticated magician who has hidden tricks unknown to outsiders.
Therefore, when Abu Nahan met this person, he always regarded himself as a junior and did not dare to be arrogant. But when he met another 'young man' who was younger than him - he was called that when he was in his forties, he didn't know whether to be happy or depressed. At this age, being a grandfather is not a problem at this age, and it seems that he has returned to his youthful personality, making friends everywhere.
Although I didn't hit it off with this magician, this sage of the intuitive martial arts sect felt like I didn't want to be his enemy. This feeling was different from seeing the former Demon King.
Just by feeling the other person's 'exhale', he was keenly aware of the gap between the two parties. It is a feeling that is difficult to explain without reaching a certain height. And this indescribable feeling brought him the emotion of despair.
These were the reasons why he did not intend to deal with either of these two people. Although before he came to the Holy City, the nobles who came to see him off had nothing to do with him, but they offered various incentives and inducements. If those brainless nobles hadn't known that the people in front of them could not be threatened, they would have said some inappropriate words.
After everyone on both sides had finished greeting each other, someone who was a little impatient hid his emotions well and said: "Sir Abu Nahan, I am now preparing to test print the journal. You want to come and take a look and give me some advice." Just for a moment."
"Test printing? You mean using printing?" Babak Abunahan heard the key from the other party's words. Suddenly many things that I couldn't figure out seemed to be solved. Indeed, for a piece of knowledge that is not magic, this is the best way to break the situation.
This was also thanks to a group of people behind the scenes who wanted to cause trouble. They found me through connections and asked me to come to Kabamba Academy to cause trouble. Then I happened to meet the test seal mentioned by the person in front of me to gain more knowledge.
It means that quite a few people have misunderstood their purpose, thinking that they came as the captain of the first magic brigade of the first army of the Gwana Empire to fight with the opponent. If you really want to fight, just come forward yourself. Don't always try to instruct others to use them as swords or swords. For those who like to use intrigues, Babak always treats them without hypocrisy.
However, at this time, something unexpected happened!
