The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin

"The prime minister, vice minister, you are here." The assistant in Shang Wen's office anxiously opened the door to Shang Wen and said.

"What happened?" Shang Wen asked inexplicably.

"The prime minister is like this. There is a weirdo who must see you. It is said that there is an important invention. But, how can I say, this invention must be made by you." The assistant said to Shang Wen.

"Oh." Shang Wen looked at Meng Yi.

"There is still such a thing." Meng Yi looked at Shang Wen and said.

"Okay. Let's go and take a look." Shang Wen looked at Meng Yi and said.

"Go. Go and take a look." Shang Wen walked at the forefront curiously.

"The prime minister." As soon as Shang Wen entered the door, he saw a thin man said excitedly. This man looks only in his early twenties, and his clothes are a bit run-down. But it's still very clean. The whole body looks very thin, but the hands appear very flexible.

"The prime minister. Little Bai Lei has seen the prime minister." Bai Lei said he was about to salute Shang Wen.

"Okay. Don't mess with those useless, I don't have time to spend so much etiquette. Tell me what you want me to do." Shang Wen said.

"En. Prime Minister. That's it. I invented a typewriter, but the result was not ideal." Bai Lei said.

"Typewriter?" Shang Wen asked at this time.

"Yes. Typewriter." Bai Lei said.

"It's just that it's not very good. There are still many words that can't be typed." Bai Lei said.

"Is there a prototype? Can I see it?" Shang Wen asked continuously.

"Yes. Yes. Yes, I brought them." Bai Lei said anxiously.

Speaking of Bai Lei, he took the typewriter out of a large iron box. Shangwen was very interested in the typewriter and wanted to invent it at one time, but the result was very bad. At this time, the font used was Qin's small seal. Although Xiaozhuan has a certain difference from the later Chinese characters, it can still be seen clearly with a little recognition. But at this time, the font is far from the shape of the following fonts. The gestures are there, but they may not be standardized. These difficult situations directly lead to the invention of the typewriter, which is very difficult. Shangwen also thought about it, but finally gave up. I didn't expect to encounter it here.

"Great. With this typewriter, our Qin State office is much more formal." Shang Wen said with a smile. At this time, with the emergence of a large number of commercial companies in Qin State, a large number of copied documents also need to be done by human hands, so women successfully entered the office, because these documents are only capable of women and capable women can do the job. Although the Qin State document had a printing machine, some documents still needed people to copy. Although there are carbon papers, the official documents are still made by hand, which is very inconvenient. Shang Wen thought about using lasers, but still lacks rubber or a large amount of cheap plastic to make laser copiers. But it still doesn't work at this time. Because many things are still lacking. It's too advanced. Shangwen decided to take a big step back and was able to use a typewriter. The appearance of the typewriter can make the office more formal. At the very least, in the official release of some documents, hand-copies are no longer used. Instead, mechanical printing is used.

"The principle of the printer is very simple. Someone has appeared before, but the key is the font. You must know that the fonts we use are very complicated and not easy to split." Shang Wen said the key point. The key to a typewriter is the separation of fonts. Chinese characters are an ancient script. His sources are very wide. Therefore, it is very complicated, and the Chinese characters at this time have not yet formed. This makes it difficult for a typewriter to be available.

"I followed a certain sequence of signs, and I organized a lot. But in the end, my typewriter could barely type 900 characters. There were also two hundred keystrokes." Bai Lei said. The structure of Bai Lei's typewriter was similar to that of later typewriters. Ink, gear, paper feeder, etc. However, there are too many buttons. There are also many hinges for typing. Therefore, the volume of the entire typewriter is very large. Occupies a full half of the coffee table.

"It's too big. It's still inconvenient." Shang Wen frowned while looking at the typewriter.

"It would be better if it could be lighter," Shang Wen said at this time.

"I tried it. No, some of the fonts we currently use are too irregular. I can't help it. I have thought of a lot of ways." Bai Lei said anxiously.

"But it's no use, there is no way to go." Bai Lei shook his head and said. Bai Lei sees that the market for typewriters is very broad. This is a market that no one cares about. It was someone else who saw it. But the complicated writing system makes many people retreat from the market.

Shang Wen also thought about using pinyin to solve this problem. However, Shang Wen did not know how to solve this problem. In addition, we will make substantial changes to this system. Shangwen still has a lot to do, and it is impossible to waste it on this matter. So Shang Wen didn't care about these.

"I thought for a long time. There is really no way. 900 words, it is my best effort." Bai Lei said discouragedly.

"I thought a lot, and finally decided to change our way of thinking and transform our system of using words." Bai Lei continued.

"After I said this idea, many people thought I was crazy." Bai Lei said.

"I, I have no choice. I have put a lot of effort into this typewriter. Therefore, I want to ask the Prime Minister. You, the Prime Minister, will solve this problem. We all know that you have a solution, and you have a lot of invention patents. This way, I want to ask the Prime Minister. You have tried the idea." Bai Lei said.

"En." Shang Wen nodded.

"Transform our characters." Shang Wen said at this time.

"Yes, transform our writing. Only in this way can we make a typewriter." Bai Lei said excitedly.

"Otherwise, it would be difficult for us to make such an action." Bai Lei said anxiously.

"En." Shang Wen nodded.

"Shangwen has also thought about transforming characters, but characters are a carrier of civilization. Shangwen knows that it is really difficult to transform. But if you don't transform, you won't be able to proceed. Bai Lei is probably working on this issue. After a long time of experimentation, I finally had to find such a way of thinking, and there was no certain pattern in the text to find. Finally, I had to give up. Shangwen walked around thinking about these issues.

The appearance of the typewriter is actually a prototype of a computer. Shangwen wanted to solve the problem of typewriters. I wanted to have a typewriter at the beginning, but I was actually preparing for the computer behind. But the first problem encountered is difficult to solve. Shang Wen finally gave up helplessly. But now the question is raised again. Chinese characters are not the same as English letters in Europe and America. However, it can be expressed through English letters, for example, pinyin is one. It's just that such a big thing. Do you really want to do it? Shang Wen still has a lot of worries in his heart.

Shang Wen looked at Bai Lei. Then he looked at Meng Yi. Then he shook his head, and then walked back and forth.

"The prime minister." Bai Lei looked at Shang Wen anxiously.

"Don't worry. Let him think about it." Meng Yi whispered to Bai Lei.

If you really want to change it, the impact will be very big. Not only Qin, but also other countries, the current writings of all countries generally accept Qin's small seal. It is not because Qin State unified weights and measures. It was because Qin's newspaper circulation promoted this matter. However, the effect of the typewriter is not seen if it is promoted at this time. To simplify the language of Qin State. Will King Qin agree? Then, can all countries adapt to the question of Qin's sudden change?

Shang Wen shook his head again, this is an unknown number. It might be better if this matter is explained later, but for now. However, the keyboard of the typewriter is a basis for the invention of the computer in the future, and there is no keyboard for typing. How do the following symbols appear? Will this problem be solved at that time? No way. This matter cannot be delayed until that time, otherwise the entire history will be postponed.

Can you use existing technology? The answer is no good. Electricity is popularized in Qin Guoguan, and it will take a long time to be popularized as a whole. The use of electricity can certainly solve certain difficulties, but the keyboard problem still cannot be circumvented. Finally, the keyboard problem has to be solved. To solve the keyboard problem, letters must be used. The use of letters requires simplified Chinese characters. Xiaozhuan is not in compliance. Shang Wen looked at Bai Lei at this time.

"I". Shang Wen looked at the two people and said.

"I think this matter should be considered." Shang Wen looked at Meng Yi and said.

"However, the field involved in this matter is very broad. We need to discuss it." Shang Wen said while looking at Bai Lei.

"Can I use your typewriter?" Shang Wen said to Bai Lei at this time.

"You can be the prime minister. As long as you can simplify the font. You can." Bai Lei said.

"En. Let's enter the palace now. Discuss this matter." Shang Wen said to Meng Yi.

"At this time, this time to enter the palace." Meng Yi said to Shang Wen.

"Yes. Do it now. Can't wait." Shang Wen said anxiously.

"It's a little bit to buy some time. Let's go." Shang Wen said to Meng Yi anxiously.

"Okay. Okay. As long as the king doesn't scold us. That's it." Meng Yi said to Shangwen.

"This is a big event, how can you scold us. That. You stay here now, and I will tell you the first time if there is a result." Shangwen said to appease Bai Lei at this time.

"Thank you, Prime Minister. Thank you, Prime Minister." Bai Lei said excitedly.

"Let's go." Shang Wen said as he picked up the typewriter and walked out violently. Meng Yi shook his head helplessly, and rushed out with Shang Wen after making arrangements.

This matter is too big. Too important. Shang Wen had to be anxious. If this thing can be done, these things today are nothing. It's really nothing. Shang Wen thought. Then speed up the pace.
