Chapter 169 Yangwen Reverse Characters
Since we are teaching the students in the martial arts school the art of beastmanship, we can no longer just teach with handwritten manuscripts as before.

Besides, pens, ink and paper had just been developed, and she was pregnant, so it was not suitable for her to work too hard, and the letterpress printing was put on hold.

At this moment, Si Shuo pulled Xiao Cheng and drew on the paper with a pen, "Xiao Cheng, can you use the gold-based supernatural power to condense into such a thin strip?"

Xiao Cheng raised his eyebrows and pointed with his finger, and the golden long strip that Si Shuo mentioned appeared.

Si Shuo couldn't help but weigh it in his hand to see how many grams it weighed, and he even subconsciously gave a price in RMB.

She took a deep breath to shake off the thought, and before the males could stop her, she bit it with her upper teeth, leaving two tooth marks on it! (_|||)
"Xiao Cheng, this is real gold, but the purity is too high and the hardness is not good enough. Can you wrap it with some other elements to make it harder?"

Just like she was able to remove impurities when replicating a crystal stone, could Xiao Cheng wrap some impurities in during the condensation process, turning the real gold into an alloy and increasing its hardness?

Xiao Cheng chuckled and said, "Then I'll try! Sister, how hard do you need it to be?"

Si Shuo took out a carving knife, "I can use this knife to carve words on it, and it can be preserved for a long time and will not easily deform!"

Xiao Cheng nodded, closed his eyes and felt the spiritual energy around him. He had a gold ability and was more sensitive to metal elements, but the gold in the air was easier to extract and did not require too much energy.

Other metals had to be captured deliberately. He mixed several metals together in a certain proportion like kneading dough, and condensed them into small, light yellow strips.

Si Shuo took it and nibbled and pinched it, then with satisfaction, she used a soft brush to write a reversed regular script "Si" on one end of the metal strip. Then she stuffed the metal strip and the carving knife into Ji Liang's hands, "Ji Liang, hollow out the area outside the ink, about this deep." She used her thumb and index finger to indicate a three-millimeter gap.

Ji Liang hummed and buried his head in carving. The metal strip was just the right hardness and softness. He held the carving knife and applied a little force, first carving away the large blank area, and then carving the edges of the characters bit by bit.

The males in the Beast World, no matter what form they take, no matter how rough or gentle they look, are all dexterous in order to survive and take care of the females and cubs.

It only took Ji Liang two or three minutes to carve the metal note.

Si Shuo smiled and took the note and dipped it in ink. Under the confused but curious gazes of the beastly husbands, she pressed it on the paper, "This is the word Si, Si Shuo's Si! Look, after carving this font, I just need to dip it in ink and print out a lot of them quickly." She printed them with a few clicks, and each one was clear, neat and beautiful.

"Let's carve out the two to three thousand most commonly used beast characters. I'll use my ability to replicate them in different quantities according to how often the characters are used.

All the fonts are put on the shelf in a certain pattern, so that we can pick out the beastly characters one by one on the tray according to the content of the book, brush them with ink, and cover them with paper..."

Si Shuo explained to them while drawing.

The beastly husbands' expressions became more and more serious, but their eyes were exceptionally bright. As she described, they understood what living printing was!

"In other words, as long as we carve out a single beast character, we can print any book in the future, and it won't be troublesome even if we print a large quantity?" Ji Liang got it first and asked with a trembling voice.

The oracle bone inscription shops in Guangshou City are frequented by the children of large families and tribes. One has to be rich and able to read animal script to have this need.

The words in the store were all carved by the orcs, or burned in, which was very time-consuming and laborious. If you want to get a second book with the same content, you have to spend some effort. Si Shuo smiled and nodded, "Yes, this way, when we encounter new things, we can write them down and print them out to let more people know.

Cooking tips, simple prescriptions, planting methods, breeding experiences, teaching people how to interact with each other, house layout and storage, or skin nourishment, etc., all help everyone improve their lives.

Or maybe literacy books, story books, fighting training techniques... As long as everyone understands the benefits, why should we worry about no one taking crystal stones?"

I can't sit still at all!
"Sister, how many metal bars do you need me to condense?" Xiao Cheng was already rolling up his sleeves, impatiently.

The males who were standing outside the door with their ears perked up pushed the door open and stood against the wall. Even after Gong You coaxed her cub to sleep, she leaned against the door and listened to her instructions.

Movable type printing has set off a huge cultural wave in later generations!

Being stared at by the 6+1 beastly husbands at home late at night, Si Shuo couldn't stand it. He coughed softly to suppress the rising heat and said to them solemnly:

"Let's start by making metal strips. I estimate that there are about 3,000 commonly used fonts. I'll write on the metal strips, and you guys use the carving knife to carve... This is called positive reverse writing... Let's start with three different sizes of fonts...

Xiao Cheng, you are responsible for condensing the metal strips. In addition to the three types of fonts, there must also be blank strips. The blank strips are divided into full space, half space, quarter space and eighth space to adjust the distance between characters... the separator strips between lines... the several water lines used to divide the frame...

We need to clear out a room and build a shelf on the wall to place these metal notes in a certain pattern for easy access..."

Everyone nodded, and except Xiao Cheng, all the other males carved notes.

After Si Shuo finished speaking, Yin Jiang said in a deep voice: "We'd better do this in private first and don't tell anyone. Wait..." He looked at Si Shuo.

Si Shuo immediately understood that this matter involved huge interests. If they only relied on their small family, it would be easy for others to snatch away their achievements, or even bring about a fatal disaster. Only if they had a backer behind them would the other party be wary.

"No hurry. It will take us a long time to carve so many notes anyway." She pursed her lips and nodded. "But, since we have a new member in our family, I think we can first offer this method to Guangshou City to see if we can get some benefits. Anyway, this method is easy to learn. Instead of letting others rack their brains to steal it, we might as well give it away on our own initiative to maximize the benefits!"

Ji Liang snapped his fingers and praised: "Very good, let's give the big head out. Whoever wants to eat this piece of meat can't bypass the people in the City Lord's Mansion."

After the matter was settled, Xiao Cheng immediately started producing metal notes, while Si Shuo copied common words on thin paper according to the dictionary.

After writing a dozen or so, she turned the paper over and used a soft brush to write neatly on the metal strip, following the reverse words! The beastmen then buried their heads in carving the notes.

Gong You raised his eyebrows and set up a time formation in the house so that they could finish their work and have enough time to rest.

After being busy for an hour, Si Shuo chased everyone to take a rest, so that they would not become nearsighted due to overwork.
