Chapter 214

Three days later, the cartoon version of "ice and snow" was officially completed

In the study, Harvey looked through the bound comic book of "ice and snow" and whispered whether he was happy or sorry: "this book is more like a picture book than a comic book. It's more like a comic book than a picture book. It's embarrassing."

The so-called picture books can be understood as comics with less words than comics. They are mainly aimed at the young market and are regarded as the most suitable reading materials for children. Picture books on earth originated in Europe and the United States in the second half of the 19th century. It was only in the 20th century that they began to spread and ushered in the golden age of the development of picture books. Picture books are probably the earliest form of comics. They are the combination of traditional oil painting and comic ideas. Compared with comics, they have more characteristics and artistic components of painters.

There is a picture book version of "ice and snow" on earth, but the picture book version basically does not tell the whole story. When Harvey wants to take into account the plot of "ice and snow", he inevitably needs to use lines. After more than two months' work in digini comic studio, Harvey's work has turned into a picture book comic.

Even without publishing it, Harvey guessed the sad fate of the picture books. Because of the high printing price, the poor can't afford to buy them. The rich disdain to use these picture books to tell stories to children. Maybe one day, the picture books will be listed in a popular science book, This is the first picture book, the first cartoon in the history of the kingdom of Baron.

"Just think of it as the promotion of" ice and snow "animation. With the first one, there must be a second one. Although it is impossible to cause such a sensation as the phantom of the count of Monte Cristo, the comic book of" ice and snow "must be the first comic book of the Kingdom."

Harvey reached out to take off his coat hanger and put on his suit. He took the picture book "ice and snow" and went to the publishing house run by Pulan.

"Boom boom ~"

"Kacha ~ Kacha ~ Kacha ~"

When Harvey stepped into the printing factory, he was drowned in the sea of sound. The deafening sound of mechanical operation poured into his body from his ears, nose and eyes, beating Harvey's heart. The sound was like the tide. In addition to the loudest sound of beating the rocks, the noise of the tide was also heard all the time.

The workers here are used to what they should do or what they should do. Occasionally, they look up carefully at the guests led in by their boss, Pulan.

Harvey couldn't stand all this noise. Harvey was sure that even if Diana pulled her ear and yelled, she wouldn't hear a sound. Harvey recited the incantation, a faint light burst from the palm of his hand, and then the world full of sound suddenly became quiet. At that moment, the whole sound world collapsed. The workers who were operating the machinery looked up and looked at each other in confusion. Why was the machinery still in normal operation but could not hear the sound?

They take off the earplug inside the ear and pat the ear to make sure it's not their own.

"[noise elimination]

Protection department

Class: Second Order

Effect: eliminates all noise except human voice. The caster controls the coverage and duration

Harvey, with a black face, said to Pulan, who held his hands over his ears. "Pulan, stop the machine first. It's too noisy to hear anything."

Pran hesitated: "Mr. Adrian, it would waste a lot of printing time to stop the machine now."

"It doesn't matter. I'm not short of that time."

Pulan nodded and told one of the workers that soon all the machines in the printing plant would stop working, and the machine tool would spray hot white steam. It could be seen that most of these machines were also driven by steam.

Harvey just released the silent magic and visited this printing factory at ease.

As early as the time when Harvey's new novel the dark age was published, William acquired Planck's Publishing House in the name of Cromwell chamber of Commerce, and Planck still managed the publishing house business. Harvey's social status is based on literary works. Naturally, Cromwell's chamber of commerce can't give the lifeblood of publishing to others. In the beginning, the Earl of Monte Cristo ended up in such a mess because there was no way to publish it.

This printing factory is now the trump card of Pulan publishing house. It started production half a month ago. The machines here are all from the magic workshop of Cromwell chamber of Commerce.

With such a lot of trouble, this printing factory naturally has its unique feature, that is, it can print color newspapers or magazines by adopting the color printing technology developed by Harvey.

In the era of black and white publications and newspapers, color publications can be regarded as a big killer in the publishing industry!

When William learned that Harvey had developed this technology, he realized the value of color printing and hastily called all the magic workshops to work out the corresponding printing machines.

The only drawback is that the noise is too loud. If you don't wear earplugs to work here for a long time, you will lose your ears in a day or two. Wearing earplugs is just a matter of time.

Harvey had received socialist education, but he did not disdain to damage the personal safety of workers for the sake of a little benefit. In this era, Harvey is willing to employ child labor, because it is good for the families and factories of child labor. It is not a matter of right or wrong. The root of the problem is the sorrow of the times. Poor families can't support too many children. If poor children can't work to support themselves, they are likely to face the fate of starvation.

In the era of coexistence of barbarism and civilization, civilization only belongs to the upper class, and at the bottom of society, we always need to follow the iron rule of the jungle. Just as the United States of America on earth refused to give milk to the poor in those years, no matter what the reason, a large number of poor people starved to death at that time, but capitalists preferred to pour milk into the river, which shows the cruelty of the times.

Harvey knows that if we want to change the world with culture and promote the development of civilization, we need more material foundation.

Harvey holds 40% of the shares of Cromwell chamber of Commerce, and 10% of the profits are used for the workers, including improving the working environment, enhancing safety, increasing salary and so on. Because this is Harvey's personal proposal and Harvey's own profits, they naturally have no reason to object, William also added five percent of the Cromwell chamber of Commerce profits.

Because of this, the reputation of the Cromwell chamber of Commerce has soared in the lower class, with high salaries and welfare protection. These two points alone are enough for countless workers to squeeze their brains out and want to join in.

The publications printed by the color printing factory have not been officially put on the market. If there is no production line, there is no need to worry about the negative impact of the shutdown. Harvey simply gives the workers two days off with pay, so that the Cromwell chamber of commerce can work out a method to reduce the noise of mechanical operation as soon as possible. Harvey also joined the research team when he was idle and bored. After consulting the earth related books, he solved it easily.

A week after the color printing factory resumed operation, everything was ready. The color picture book "ice and snow" was officially sold in the bookstore, and the first color newspaper was also printed by Pulan publishing house.
