Chapter 252 Magic Card Automatic Printing Machine: "Bisheng No. [-]"

As the resettlement work began, Scood, Thibault and others obtained allocated sites in Terry City and began to build magic workshops and develop instruments in accordance with the experimental requirements.

This already involves the fields of the Alchemy School and the Magic School.

High-end arcana is often not the result of a single school of thought. It is interdisciplinary and cross-field, requiring the support of a large amount of funds and technical personnel.

However, both of them seemed to be confident about this, and with the new large amount of funds obtained from the Arcane Committee, it was a time when morale was high.

Without saying a word, he just started working, vowing to develop the ideal "automatic printing machine".

"In fact, we are already manufacturing the first prototype. It will be the most advanced commercial model so far that can really be used in the commercial field."

A few days later, Roland waited for them to settle in and went to visit the laboratory prepared for them.

Scord told him a secret.

"This kind of thing is also highly confidential within the institute. Please don't reveal its existence to outsiders, especially the Lena people."

"Can commercial models be put into commercial use..."

"We'll give you a tour."

Roland immediately followed them to the inner room and saw a workbench, something that looked like an opened suitcase.

Various components inside are densely packed, connected with messy thin lines, and underneath is a magic circle made of mithril.

What was very different from Roland's imagination was that it turned out to be a science fiction style.

This is the magic school.

All that is left is staff in white coats holding chips the size of fingernails and discussing issues in front of laser projections.

The two excitedly introduced various relevant data to Roland.

Roland actually didn't quite understand it, after all, his field of expertise was not here, but he also understood that this research did have great future.

The key to everything is to increase efficiency and reduce costs, and then usher in an inflection point in profit margins.

From an arcane perspective, "Scroll Printing" has been successful, and I have verified its feasibility.

The next step is to continue in this direction until large-scale promotion and application.

At that time, his own achievement patent, and even the entire Siris School, will usher in a new round of huge revenue growth.

……

Returning to the Mage Tower, Princess Rosa, who stayed here to work, came up to her: "Sir, Master Redes and Master Winnie would like to see you."

"Oh?" Roland's heart moved slightly.

The two people Princess Rosa mentioned came here with Scood and others.

But they are not Atrein people, but people from Reiner's world itself.

In other words, they are the returnees from Reiner's world.

"Ask them to come in." Roland said, then walked around the large desk and sat on the chair.

Not long after, two well-dressed Lena people in classical magician attire walked in.

Civilized stick-style magic wand, high-brimmed wizard hat, thick spell book floating on the side, long magic robe...

With this outfit and style, if I didn't know their information in advance, I wouldn't be able to tell where they were from, but they would look like real Atrehine people.

However, hair color and skin color cannot be changed. This outfit actually does not suit their body shape and facial features.

how to say?The feeling of wearing a suit that doesn't fit well.

"Gentlemen, what's wrong with you?" Roland asked.

"Your Excellency Roland, we request to be transferred to Seris College to serve as instructors of related courses.

In terms of qualifications, please rest assured that we have both obtained the Seris language certificate issued by the joint study association. I have level [-] and Winnie has level [-]. "Master Redes said solemnly.

"Aren't you willing to participate in the compilation of the "Leiner Canon"?" Roland said with some surprise.

It was rare for talents to join who were proficient in the Seris language and were from Reiner's native world. He had originally hoped that these people would be enlightened enough to take the initiative to participate in this undertaking.

But he didn't expect that he would actually feel resistant.

"Absolutely not, I just don't want to work with those people." Redes said frankly.

Roland's expression was slightly strange, and he suddenly understood something.

Then he said: "Everyone has his own ambitions. Since you are not willing to practice scriptures, then forget it.

I will readjust my work arrangements. "

"Thank you so much!"

The two of them left with happy faces and satisfaction.

Princess Rosa was thoughtful and asked Roland: "Are they so keen on staying in the mage tower to teach?"

Roland said calmly: "These people look down on their motherland from the bottom of their hearts, and they don't think there is any meaning in compiling the "Leiner Canon"."

Princess Rosa was surprised: "How could this happen?"

Roland said: "Perhaps in their eyes, this is a face-saving project I did to win over the indigenous elites. It's obviously hard to point out, but I never intended to jump into this pit.

No matter what, you still have to stay in the mage tower and the arcane center of Atrein in order to demonstrate the superiority of the returning elite. "

According to his understanding, these two people thought they had a chance to settle in the suzerain country and become Atrein people because they had obtained the intermediate mage level in Atrein.

But he didn't expect that he would be sent back when he turned around.

Seeing that returning here has become a reality, they have to start thinking about the next thing, which is to actively move closer to themselves and the Siris School.

In comparison, accompanying those indigenous elites at Xishan Manor and reading the books of the Shureina world was a waste of time and worthless.

He concluded: "I more or less understand the mentality of this kind of people. They have encountered all kinds of troubles, so they are actively integrating into the society of Atrein.

It is an indisputable fact that Reiner is lagging behind. Sometimes, running away for the sake of personal development is also a way to make the best of one's talents, so as not to waste time in this magical desert.

But now that you have finished your studies, it would be a bit unkind to still be unwilling to serve the motherland within your ability. "

What he didn't say was that although Reiner and Hua Xia were vaguely similar, they were not Hua Xia after all.

The Chinese people's feelings about their family and country and their national concepts are not developed in a day or two. They are cultivated by the historical and cultural heritage that lasts for thousands of years.

This made him realize that Reiner could not completely follow the path of independent recovery.

They have never had a revival, let alone a revival.

This Reiner, after all, has to learn from the old colonial ways of counterattacking the mother country.

The ingredients are very complex.

Princess Rosa sighed secretly and remained speechless.

She was distressed and regretful about this matter.

Reiner should also have some elite talents available.

...Later, they visited the department office several times to complete the entry procedures. The performance of these two people confirmed Roland's point of view.

Princess Rosa found that they treated the people in the tower, as long as they were from Atrein, they were all very polite and gentlemanly.

Even if the other person is just a maid responsible for sweeping or washing dishes.

From this point of view alone, there is no doubt that he is a well-educated, polite and decent person in the civilized world.

But on the other hand, he treats his fellow Lena people in a condescending manner without any pretense.

Sometimes, he even sounds harsh, cunning and mean.

With unabashed, even deliberate discrimination.

There are only a small number of Reiner staff in the Mage Tower, and the Reiner people have some characteristics that are very different from Atrein in terms of hair color and skin color, which makes each person's identity very conspicuous.

Even at the beginning, they expressed surprise and confusion at their appearance in the department office, thinking that allowing vulgar and ignorant Lenar people to enter and leave such a place was simply a stain on the arcane palace.

Even when she learned her identity as a princess, she was still dismissive.

However, when they learned that their real job position was not in the department office, but beside Mr. Roland, and was Roland's current first secretary, their attitudes immediately changed 180 degrees.

The two mages who were originally aloof and looked at people through their nostrils immediately became extremely humble.

Feeling this personally, Princess Rosa realized more deeply that the current world of Reiner was really poor and backward, and was not respected by all parties.

The group of elites we faced at Xishan Manor before were really only a minority.

"Even our own elite, Reiner, is like this, alas..."

Princess Rosa felt inexplicably sad, and she didn't really expect these few elites to develop well outside.

But at the same time, she noticed the different behaviors of these people who were arrogant and respectful, and she suddenly realized that she already had a certain reputation even in the circle of Master Atline.

This was brought about by clinging to Mr. Roland, and was actually a rich arcane resource and political capital.

The planeswalkers of Atrein, the adventurers, the returning elites...

It seems possible to use it for yourself?
If he can gain their allegiance, he can better assist his brother and help Reiner rise.

Thinking of this, she became more determined.

But that determination was so shameful that even just imagining it made her feel happy with her cheeks and pink face.

……

Roland didn't know some changes in Princess Rosa's heart.

Although he and Rosa have been together day and night, so far, he has not penetrated deeply into her heart and cared that much.

Moreover, he was quickly attracted by the new news brought by Scood, Thibault and others.

After this group of people came to Lena, a major technological breakthrough was made in just about a month, and in the second month, it was directly announced that the technical research had been basically completed.

Three feet of ice did not freeze in a day. The reason why they were able to achieve this level was of course not out of thin air, but because they had made sufficient preparations in the previous time.

In the past two months, I have spent more time debugging and assembling machines.

But in any case, the moment of the official announcement means that this project can be put into the actual commercial operation stage and completely rewrite the rules of the industry.

"Oh? The progress is so smooth, even the prototype has been developed?"

This kind of thing is also very valuable to the high-demon civilization.

Roland went to visit their laboratory with some curiosity.

Following them into a tightly protected room, he saw a machine that looked like a square metal box.

Each side of it is composed of translucent square crystal plates, as if they were cut out from pieces of frosted glass.

The corners of the machine are wrapped with metal baffles, showing a deep starry sky blue and black color, mysterious and cold.

When Roland came in, it was being placed in the magic circle to sleep, and nothing unusual could be seen for the time being.

"Print a magic card for you to see."

Thibault recited a secret incantation and started the machine.

Suddenly, the surface of the machine showed a mysterious blue light full of science fiction, and many light spots inside were free, flashing rapidly with a very rhythmic rhythm, like laser etching.

More than a minute later, a card was spit out at a place like the exit of an ATM. It was the printed level 0 Siris magic card "Freeze Ray"!
“Just this thing, if you market it well in a place like Lena World, you can sell it for 50 to 100 gold coins, which is pretty good.

But if you want to compete with traditional spell scrolls, you still need to improve..."

Thibaud revealed the inside story to Roland.

"How is its output?" Roland asked a key question.

Thibod said: "Based on the current situation, it can automatically print magic cards at a speed of about one card per minute, producing about 60 cards per hour, and 1440 cards per day.

Of course, in actual production, including regular maintenance and repairs, the daily output should be at the level of 500 to 700 sheets.

In view of the characteristics of magical meanings and text symbols, it is currently limited to various characters in the Seris language and is suitable for rune encoding of idioms. In other words, other magical languages ​​and scroll types are not supported.

This may form a technical barrier that further differentiates Siris Magic Cards from traditional spell scrolls.

The next development direction should be faster and better low-cost machines, aiming to completely replace 'manual typesetting' and 'printing pattern printing' with 'automatic printing'...

By the way, our machine can also operate normally on Magic Crystal cards, which is something that previous printing technology could not achieve. "

The previous related technologies were indeed based on technologies such as movable type impressions.

This also involves the selection of magic cards, inks and other series of materials.

It is something deeply related to the industry.

"It's indeed a good thing." Roland weighed this freshly released Siris magic card and said sincerely.

Thibault added: "The internal code name of this thing is Unit 001, but it has not been officially named yet.

We think this right should be given to you. "

"It doesn't have to be like this, right?" Roland was polite.

Scood earnestly persuaded: "Roland, you not only laid the theoretical foundation, but also participated in the research of this model, especially the hand-engraved secret seal...

Our No. 001 machine has recently adopted this kind of dot matrix font and bitmap printing technology to achieve automated printing.

We both think it would be more appropriate for you to name it. "

"In that case, let's call it Bi Sheng Type [-]!"

When Roland heard this, he did not refuse.

"Bi Sheng? What a good name..."

Although the two didn't understand, they still applauded.

Thus, the official name of the machine was decided.
