To be honest, Gao Wen occasionally reflects on whether there is something wrong with the way he recruits people and builds the territory, so that the people gathered around him (balls/fish/light bulbs, etc.) have such distinctive characteristics. Of course, these distinctive characteristics are beyond doubt in terms of ability, but their distinctive characteristics will make a good thing embarrassment from time to time. General Nicholas Egg is undoubtedly an expert in this field.

This ball will even change squarely, so how can I reason about it?

After this new printing machine comes out, it is necessary to record a credit book that is difficult to write. Other project leaders say that they are diligent and dedicated to their work. They can say that they have become ill, tired and vomit blood, and they cannot get off the fire. When they write back to the Mechanical Research Institute, they will write that the director has grown twelve sides due to excessive fatigue. If you attach seven or eight illustrations and two pages of instructions, you have to suspect that the brain of writing this article was stuck in the door...

"Thank you... Thank you..." Gao Wen looked at the iron star with a thunderous corner of his eyes, "You can rest for two days after this project is over..."

"Oh, don't worry, the minor problem will recover soon," Nicholas Egg didn't realize how many people he was now scared. "You'd better see how this equipment works first. You'll be satisfied."

Gao Wen tried hard to shift his attention from the twelve new edges of Nicholas eggs and began to pay attention to what is really important here.

The "arcane printing press" that, from its working principle to its structure and shape, is already ready.

"Go Wen nodded," said Gao Wen, "Start with the initial editing. Rebecca, you can do it yourself."

Rebecca, who followed Gao Wen to inspect the results, had been waiting for this moment. She immediately responded happily, and then walked to the small cabinet next to the arcane printing machine with light steps.

She pulled a pull rod on the side of the small cabinet, and a very slight buzzing sound came from the inside of the equipment. A slight light appeared on the surface of the projection crystal embedded at the top of the cabinet. Then, a light blue halo appeared at the top of the entire equipment.

It looks like the holographic screen of the Magic Net communicator without a signal and is in standby state. The difference is that there is a circle of bright square lines on the edge of this picture, which should be the restricted area of ​​the layout.

While this small "cabinet" was started, at the connection between the cabinet and the main body of the printing press, a piece of crystal embedded above a metal platform also lit up. Gao Wen realized that this structure used to connect the two devices is actually the "scanning device" of the Arcane Printer.

The assistant on standby came up and placed a piece of white paper that had been written long ago on the metal platform.

In the holographic projection above the "little cabinet", the image of the white paper immediately appeared here. Every step is a scene and phenomenon that the magicians in this world are familiar with. This is just the most common technique in illusion magic and crystal crafts.

But as Rebecca typifies the first key on the "keyboard" at the top of the small cabinet, Gao Wen saw something that had never appeared in the conventional magical magic:

In the holographic projection at the top of the cabinet, the characters entered by Rebecca appear below the image of the white paper.

A series of characters was quickly typed out by Rebecca, forming a sentence: "The above is the entity scanning function, and this sentence is the function of text editing."

Then Rebecca pulled a handle next to the keyboard, and a slight mechanical sound came from the small cabinet. She continued to enter characters, and new characters appeared under the previous sentence.

"Speaking of this, how did you enter text in a illusion projection?" Gao Wen asked this question that he had been ignored before. This question made him extremely confused: With Cecil's current progress in rune logic, computer technology is still far away, and technicians cannot create magic circles with data processing capabilities. Jenny has no idea about this. So how did Rebecca realize word processing on such a device?

This is a simple mechanical process? So how does a simple mechanical process transform into symbols on holographic projection?

"Oh, this is actually not complicated, it's the structure. There are only 28 letters in total, and there are only more than 30 commonly used punctuation marks. We made thirty-seven white crystals with characters engraved in advance in this cabinet. These thirty-seven white crystals are very small, arranged in a connecting rod into a fan disk. There is a very small window at the front end of the fan disk. The other end of the window is a moving thin cardboard, and behind the cardboard is another piece of crystal that moves with the cardboard. The scanning is done. When a rune trigger is pressed on this 'keyboard', the corresponding white crystal will be bounced to the window at the front end of the fan disk and activated. A black character is ablated on the cardboard and the crystal behind the cardboard will illuminate the pattern. In addition, by adjusting the distance between the white crystal and the cardboard, the size of the characters can also be adjusted..."

Rebecca said as he opened the cover on the side of the small cabinet. Gao Wen saw the intricate and amazing mechanical structure inside, which was vaguely similar to the mechanical typewriter he remembered.

Rebecca continued: "But its disadvantages are quite obvious. First of all, you have to consume a piece of cardboard every time. Of course, this consumption is not large and acceptable. Secondly, be careful when typing. After typing, traces will be left on the cardboard. If you make less mistakes, you can return the cardboard and cover it with black block keys. If you make more mistakes, you will affect reading and typing in vain..."

"Incredible..." Gao Wen looked at the complex mechanical structure in almost shock. The cleverly designed connecting rods, springs, gears and slide rails seemed to have strange charm. They were the crystallization of human wisdom in the stage where digital technology had not yet appeared, and were the embodiment of the pinnacle of mechanical technology. He stared at Rebecca with wide eyes, "What did you think of it?"

"I did it with the assistants," Rebecca scratched his hair. "Strictly speaking, I just came up with the idea. The design was completely done by the assistant. There were two new magic technicians who were watchmakers from the capital. They were very good at designing such exquisite mechanical mechanisms, but they didn't have the opportunity to design such strange things when they were in the capital."

Nicholas Egg next to him made a muffled voice: "I originally planned to bring those two watchmakers to the Mechanical Research Institute, but they were more interested in magic technology."

Watchmaker...

Gao Wen looked at the intricate mechanical structure in the small cabinet and nodded slightly with admiration: "Very good, very good, they are talents, and talents like Cohen, we need to focus on cultivating them. Now you can continue."

"Hey," Rebecca nodded happily, "Then the only thing left is to pass these edited things to the arcane transfer cylinder and then print them out!"

While speaking, she pulled another pull rod next to the cabinet. With the instant sound of dense rotation of the machine parts in the cabinet, Gao Wen saw a neat blue glimmer of light appearing on the surface of the Arcane Transfer Column in the middle of the printing press.

That was the printed pattern edited by Rebecca.

After two seconds of preheating and curing, the pattern on the surface of the transfer cylinder stabilizes, and then other parts of the printing press begin to operate. The flat and white paper is sent to the center of the printing press and covered on the black "ink plate". The transfer cylinder is pressed on the surface of the paper under the operation of the mechanical bracket and is quickly brushed from left to right.

The printed paper was quickly swept away by a roller, followed by the next piece of paper...

Amid the operation of the printing press, Rebecca explained its subsequent working process to Gao Wen: "Each continuous operation can print 300 pieces, then take a minute to recharge, heat and solidify the drum, and at the same time replace the ink plate below to start a new round of printing. In this process, the replaced ink plate is sent to the heating table for full heating, so that the ink surface can be restored to flattening, and then replaced after cooling."

Gao Wen was completely attracted by the running machine at this moment. The paper that was quickly completed printing, the efficient and orderly mechanical structure, and the sounds generated by the gears and connecting rods that came from the machine made him unable to help but think of the scene when the first magic engine was started. An uplifting emotion filled his thoughts, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "Good... Very good, Good beyond my imagination!"

"Actually, I think there are some improvements to this," Rebecca's face was full of proud expressions of "My ancestors praised me", but she still stretched out a face of honor and disgrace, and said with her head tilted. "I think the rest time in the middle is the most wasteful. If you improve the coating formula on the surface of the transfer cylinder or the projection crystal inside, it should work continuously for a longer time. Moreover, the ink plate below will become uneven due to the consumption of ink. It must be reheated and leveled before cooling before use. I think this must be changed..."

Gao Wen heard Rebecca's words, but before he could speak, he heard Hetty next to him break the silence: "I can't say the first direction of improvement, but the second one I have an idea why don't you make the ink plate into an 'ink belt' that can be rotated circulating under the printing platform? Then set up a heating ink belt on the side of the machine, a device for flattening the ink surface, such as a hot roller, which should solve the problem. You can try the blue-texture moonlight cloth for the ink belt matrix, which is now mass-produced in the factory, and the cost is very low and strong and not easy to deform."

"Oh yes!" Rebecca immediately slapped her hands and looked at Hetty with shiny eyes, "Auntie, you are so awesome! As expected, all older people are wise..."

Hetty: “…”

Gao Wen: "…"

"Great days, great days," Gao Wen quickly reached out to stop his granddaughter, the elder generation of the generation, before Hetty lifted up the staff with nail heads and steel edges, and looked at Rebecca again. "In short, improvements must be improved. There must be imperfections in the new machinery and equipment. You have limited ideas alone, so you can do it with the team, and you can even listen to the opinions of workers using printing presses in the future. Mr. Goldwin, what do you think of this machine?"

Godwin Orlando, a scholar from the royal capital and now head of the press and publishing department, widened his eyes when he started the new printing press, staring at this complex and incredible machine. At this moment, he finally woke up. After hearing Gao Wen's words, the old scholar couldn't help but exclaim: "What an incredible thing... I would have been younger, I had to understand its principles. But now... what I want to do most is to write an article and do my best to introduce this thing to everyone. Even if many people cannot understand the principles of this machine, I hope they can know that there are a group of extremely intelligent geniuses in the territory that have created such a great machine!"

"Then go and write," Gao Wen said with a smile, "After the war news at Rock Fortress is over, it's time to release something that will relax people and arouse people's curiosity."
