Chapter 169 Yang Wen Fang Zi
Since we are teaching beast writing to the students in the martial arts school, we can no longer just teach by handwriting in a small way like before.
Moreover, pen, ink, and paper had just been developed, and she was still pregnant with a child, so it was not suitable for her to fuss too much. The matter of letterpress printing had been 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 metal power to condense it into such a thin strip?"
Xiao Cheng raised his eyebrows, and with a single click of his finger, a long golden strip appeared as Si Shuo said.
Si Shuo couldn't help but weigh it with his hands, how many grams it weighed, and even subconsciously quoted a price in RMB.
She took a deep breath and shook off the thought. Before the males could stop her, she chewed it with her upper teeth, leaving two teeth marks on it! (_|||)
"Xiao Cheng, this is real gold. The purity is too high and the hardness is not good. Can you wrap some other elements in it to make it harder?"
< br>Just like she can remove impurities when carving crystals, can Xiao Cheng wrap some impurities in when they are agglomerated, turning real gold into an alloy and increasing its hardness?
Xiao Cheng chuckled and said, "Then let me 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 is not easily deformed!"
Xiao Cheng nodded, closing his eyes and feeling the aura around him. He has a metal power and has a strong sense of metal elements, but the gold in the air is easier to extract without spending too much energy.
Other metals need to be captured deliberately. Like kneading dough, he mixed several metals together according to a certain proportion and condensed them into small, light yellow strips again.
Si Shuo nibbled and pinched it, and with satisfaction, she used a soft pen to write "Si" in reverse italics on one end of the metal strip, and then she stuffed the metal strip and carving knife into it. In Ji Liang's hand, "Ji Liang, hollow out the area outside the ink, about this deep." She used her thumb and index finger to mark a three millimeter gap.
Ji Liang hummed and buried his head in carving. The metal strip had just the right amount of softness and hardness. He held the carving knife and exerted slight force. He first dug out a large blank space and carefully carved the edges of the font bit by bit.
The males of the Beast World Continent, no matter what animal shape they are in, how rough or gentle they look, they are all ingenious in order to survive and take care of females and cubs.
In just two or three minutes, Ji Liang carved the metal note.
Si Shuo smiled and dipped the note in ink. Under the puzzled but curious eyes of the beastmen, he pressed it on the paper and said, "This is the word "Si", Si Shuo's "Si"! You see, it is carved. With this font, I can quickly print out many of them with ink." She clicked and printed, and each one was clear and beautiful.
“We will carve out the commonly used two to three thousand animal characters. I use the replica ability to carve out different numbers according to the frequency of use of the font.
All of them The fonts are put on the shelf according to a certain pattern, so that in the future we will pick out the animal characters one by one on the tray and arrange them according to the content in the book, brush them with ink, and cover them with paper..."
Si Shuo explained to them while drawing.
The expressions of the beastmen became more and more serious, but their eyes were particularly bright. Following her description, they already understood what living printing was!
"That is to say, as long as we carve out a single animal inscription, we can print any book in the future, and there are large quantities without trouble?" Ji Liang got it first and asked with a trembling voice.
The oracle bone book store in Guangshou City is a place frequented by big families and tribesmen. If you are rich, you have to know animal writing to have such demand.
The characters in the shop are all carved by orcs one stroke at a time, or fired, which is extremely time-consuming and laborious. If you want to get the same content in the second book, you have to spend a lot of effort. Si Shuo smiled and nodded, "Yes, this way we can write down and print out any novel things we encounter so that more people can know about them.
How to cook, Simple prescriptions, planting methods, breeding tips, teaching people how to deal with things, house decoration and storage, or nourishing the skin, etc., all help everyone improve their lives
Or literacy books, story books, and teaching fighting. Training skills... As long as everyone understands the benefits, are we still worried that no one will take out the crystals? "
Are you really upset?
"Sister, how many metal bars do you need me to condense?" Xiao Cheng was already rolling his arms and couldn't wait.
The males with their ears pricked outside the door all opened the door and stood against the wall. Even Gongyou, after putting Zai Zai to sleep, leaned on the door and listened to her arrangements.
Movable type printing set off a huge cultural wave in later generations!
Being stared at by 6+1 beastmen at home at night, Si Shuo couldn't bear it. He coughed to suppress the rising heat and said to them solemnly:
"Let's start by making metal strips. It is estimated that the commonly used fonts are around 3,000. I write on the metal strips and you carve them with a carving knife... This is called Yangwen reverse character... Let's start with three different font sizes...
Xiao Chengyou is responsible for condensing the metal strips. In addition to one set of each of these three font sizes, there are also empty strips. The empty strips are divided into full empty, half empty, quarter empty and eighth empty. , adjust the distance between words...the partition strips that separate rows...several water lines used as frame divisions...
We have to free up a room and make shelves on the wall. , hold these metal notes in a certain pattern for easy access..."
The guys nodded, and except for Xiao Cheng, all the other males carved the 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 the interests involved in this matter were huge. With just their small family, it would be easy for others to take away the achievements and even cause death. Only they had someone behind them. , the other party will be afraid.
“No rush, there are so many notes anyway, it will take us a long time to carve them,” she pursed her lips and nodded, “But, we have a new member in our family, I think we can dedicate this method to Guangzhou first. Shoucheng, let’s see if we can get some benefits. Anyway, this method is easy to learn. Rather than having people rack their brains to steal it, we should take the initiative to give it out and maximize the benefits.”
Ji Liang snapped his fingers and said appreciatively: "That's 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."
It's settled, Xiao Cheng immediately started producing metal notes, while Si Shuo copied common words on tissue paper by referring to the word dictionary.
After writing ten or twenty words, she turned the paper over, took a soft pen and wrote neatly on the metal strip according to the reverse words! The beastmen immersed themselves in carving the notes.
Gong You raised his eyebrows and set up a time formation in the room, so that they would have enough time to rest after working.
After being busy for a while, Si Shuo asked everyone to take a rest so that they would not become short-sighted.
Who's next? !
