Sword of Daybreaker

In fact, to be honest, Gao Wen occasionally rethinks whether the way he recruits people and builds territories is not a problem, so that the people gathered around him (balls/fish/bulbs, etc.) are so distinctive. Of course, the characters with distinctive characteristics are undoubtedly capable, but their distinctive features will sometimes make a good thing get married. Nicholas eggs are undoubtedly the expert in this area.

This ball will still change, which is reasonable.

After this new type of printing machine comes out, it is necessary to record a project leader who is not good at writing. You said that people can do everything they can to say that they are overworked, vomiting blood, and not hurting the fire line. Write back to the Institute of Mechanical Engineering. Just write that the director has grown out of twelve sides due to excessive exhaustion. If you don’t attach seven or eight illustrations and two pages of explanations, you have to suspect that the brain of this article was caught by the door...

"You... hard work..." Gao Wen looked at the iron star in a blink of an eye. "After the end of the project, you will have to rest for two days..."

"Oh, rest assured, small problems, and soon recovered," Nicholas eggs as if they didn't realize how many people were scared by their current shape. "Let's see if this equipment works. You will be satisfied." ""

Gao Wen tried to shift his attention away from the twelve sides of Nicholas's new egg and began to pay attention to what really matters here.

The "Arcane Printing Press", which works from the working principle to the structure to the shape, is not quite the same as the printing press he knows.

"Get started," Gao Wen nodded. "Start with the original editor. Rebecca, you can do it yourself."

Rebecca, who came along with Gao Wen to accept the results, was waiting for this moment. She immediately responded happily and then took a brisk walk to the small cabinet next to the arcane printing press.

She pulled a lever on the side of the small cabinet, and a very slight humming sound came from inside the device. The surface of the projection crystal embedded in the top of the cabinet showed a slight radiance, followed by a light blue The halo appears at the top of the device.

It is like a hologram of a magic network communicator that is not connected to the signal and is in standby state. The difference is that the edge of the picture has a circle of bright square lines, which should be the restricted area of ​​the layout.

At the same time as the small "cabinet" was started, at the junction between the cabinet and the main body of the printing press, a piece of crystal embedded above a metal platform was also lit up. Gao Wen realized that this was used to connect two devices. The structure is actually the "scanning device" of the arcane printing press.

The assistant who was on standby walked up and placed a blank piece of paper that had been written on the metal platform.

In the holographic projection above the "small cupboard", the image of the white paper appeared immediately here. Every step is a familiar scene and phenomenon of the magicians of the world. This is just the magic of magic. And the most common technology in the crystal process.

But as Rebecca tapped the first button on the "keyboard" at the top of the small cabinet, Gao Wen saw something that had never happened in the conventional illusion magic:

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

A series of characters were quickly played out by Rebecca, forming a sentence: "The above is the physical scanning function, which is the function of text editing."

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

“Speaking, how did you enter the text in a illusion projection?” Gao Wen asked the question that he had been neglected before. This question made him extremely confused: with the progress of the rune logic of Cecil now, computer technology still In the distant future, technicians can't create a data array with data processing capabilities. Jenny has no idea about this. So how does Rebecca implement word processing on such a device?

Is this a mere mechanical process? So how does a simple mechanical process translate into a symbol on a holographic projection?

"Oh, this one, in fact, the principle is not complicated, the structure is complicated. There are 28 letters in total, plus more than 30 commonly used punctuation marks. We just made thirty-seven in this cabinet. The block is pre-engraved with white crystals. The thirty-seven white crystals are very small. They are arranged into a fan-shaped disk by connecting rods. The front end of the fan-shaped disk has a small window, and the other end of the window is a thin cardboard that will move. Behind the cardboard is another piece of crystal that is moved along with the cardboard. When a rune trigger is pressed on the 'keyboard', the corresponding white crystal will be bounced to the window at the front of the sector disk and activated. A black character is ablated on the cardboard and the crystal behind the cardboard illuminates the pattern. In addition, by adjusting the distance between the white crystal and the cardboard, the size of the character can be adjusted..."

Rebecca said while opening the cover on the side of the small cabinet. Gao Wen saw the intricate and amazing mechanical structure inside, and the mechanical structure was vaguely similar to the mechanical typewriter in his memory.

Rebecca continued to say: "But its shortcomings are quite obvious. First, you need to consume a piece of cardboard every time. Of course, this consumption is not too big, it can be accepted. Secondly, be careful when typing. After the mistake, the cardboard will leave traces. If there is less mistake, the cardboard can be returned and covered with the black block key. If the mistake is too much, the reading will be white..."

“Inconceivable...” Gao Wen looked at the complicated mechanical structure with amazement. The cleverly designed connecting rods, springs, gears and slides seemed to have a strange charm. They are human intelligence in the stage where digital technology has not yet appeared. Crystallization is the embodiment of the mechanical process, and he looks at Rebecca with his eyes wide open. "What do you want?"

"I got it with my assistants," Rebecca scratched his hair. "Strictly speaking, I just put forward the idea. The design is completely a helper. The new magician has two people who are from the king. Craftsmen, they are very good at designing such exquisite mechanical organs, but they don't have the opportunity to design such strange things when they are in the capital."

Next to the Nicholas egg, a sullen voice followed: "I originally planned to bring the two watchmakers to the Institute of Mechanical Engineering. As a result, they are more interested in the magic technology."

Watchmaker...

Gao Wen looked at the intricate mechanical structure in the small cabinet and nodded slightly with admiration: "Good, very good, they are two talents, and the same talent as Cohen, we must focus on training. Now you can continue."

"Hey," Rebecca nodded happily. "There is only the transfer of these edited things to the Arcane transfer cylinder, and it is printed!"

As she spoke, she pulled the other lever next to the cabinet, accompanied by the sound of the intensive movement of the cabinet. Gao Wen saw that the surface of the core device in the middle of the printing machine appeared on the surface of the arcane transfer cylinder. A neat blue shimmer.

That is the printed pattern that Rebecca edited.

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

The printed paper is quickly taken away by the roller, followed by the next paper...

In the operation of the printing press, Rebecca explained the follow-up work process for Gao Wen: “Each continuous operation can print 300 sheets, then rest for about one minute, let the drum recharge, heat and solidify. Replace the ink plate below and start a new round of printing. In this process, the ink plate that has been replaced is sent to the heating table for full heating, so that the ink surface is restored to a flat surface, and then replaced after cooling."

At this moment, Gao Wen has been completely attracted by the machine that is running. The paper that has finished printing quickly, the repeated and efficient, orderly mechanical structure, and the sound generated by the gears and connecting rods coming out of the machine. He couldn't help but think of the scene when the first magic engine started. A kind of high-spirited emotion filled his thoughts. He couldn't help but admire: "Good... good, good beyond my imagination. !"

"Actually, I think there is still room for improvement," Rebecca said with a proud expression of "the ancestors exaggerated me", but still stretched a face of glory and shame, and said to her head. "I think the rest of the minute in the middle of it is the most wasteful. If you want to improve the coating formula on the surface of the transfer cylinder or the projection crystal inside, it should work continuously for a long time, and the ink board below is used. It will become uneven due to the consumption of ink. It must be reheated and cooled before it can be used. I think this should be changed..."

Gao Wen heard Rebecca’s words, but he didn’t speak. He heard the next Herti broke the silence: “I’m not good at the first improvement, but the second one I have an idea, why don’t you The board is made of an 'ink ribbon' that can be rotated under the stamping table. Then, a device for heating the ink ribbon and flattening the ink surface, such as a heat roller, is disposed on the side of the machine. This should solve the problem. You can try the substrate of the ink ribbon. The blue-grained moonlight cloth is now mass-produced in the factory, and the cost is very low and strong and not easily deformed."

"Oh yes!" Rebecca slaps and slaps his eyes and looks at Herti. "Aunt, you are so powerful! Sure enough, people who are old have wisdom..."

Hetty: "..."

Gao Wen: "..."

"Great days, great days," Gao Wen quickly reached out before he lifted the staff with nail heads and steel ribs to stop his own granddaughter, and looked at Rebecca. "In short, the improvement is definitely in need of improvement. There must be imperfections in the new machinery and equipment. You have limited ideas, you can work with the team, and you can even listen to the opinions of the workers using the printing press in the future. Mr. Devin, what do you think of this machine?"

The scholar from Wangdu, the head of the current press and publishing department, Godwin Orlando, opened his eyes from the new press, and has been stunned to see this complicated, exquisite and incredible machine. At this moment, he finally wakes up. Come over, after hearing the words of Gao Wen, the old scholar could not help but sigh: "What an incredible thing... If I am younger, I have to understand the principle of it. But now... I am the most What I want to do is to write an article and do my best to introduce this thing to everyone. Even if many people can't understand the principle of this machine, I hope they can know that a group of intelligent geniuses on the territory have created this way. Great machine!"

"That's to write," Gao Wen said with a smile. "After the war news of the Rock Fortress is over, it's time to release something that will make people feel relaxed and cause curiosity."

(There is a book called "I am behind the scenes", I don't know if anyone has seen it. The opening may seem a little routine and dry, but the creativity is very good. I can look forward to it later. You can look at the book shortage.)
