Chapter 449： Rebecca's ingenuity (really)

This thing called the "Arcane Transfer Cartridge" is very different from the scanner roller that Gao Wen imagined.

In fact, apart from the similarity of the outline, its entire working principle and method of use have never appeared in his imagination.

This is another product that was born out of the "magic technology route" rooted in this world.

He quietly looked at the blue lines that appeared on the surface of the silver-white alloy cylinder, realizing that the lines should be a built-in "standard layout" dedicated to detecting whether the device is normal, and placing the hand close to those blues. When he was on the road, he also felt the obvious heat.

This fever should be the key to its ability to print.

"Tell me about its working mechanism," Gao Wen looked at Rebecca. Although the device was brought by Nicholas eggs, the person who placed the order was Rebecca. The person who knows all the technical mysteries of this device must also be her. "How does it work?"

Rebecca has a small pride on his face: "Anceer, do you remember the "test piles" that I first set up in the magic net?"

"Detecting the pile?" Gao Wen stunned, but quickly reacted. "Oh, I remembered it. It took advantage of the fact that Mithril will temporarily heat up and become black after being infused with Arcane energy."

"This is it!" Rebecca was particularly pleased to take the lead. "I am here to tell you personally that the group of wizards that Santis brought from the king, called Cohen's Arcane Master, is the breakthrough. He thought of the special nature of Mithril under the influence of arcane energy, and then we finally found the right idea."

As he said, Rebecca pointed to the silver-white surface of the transfer device: "The outer shell of this thing has two layers, and the inner layer is a very fine copper grid that is used to transmit magic and serve as the skeleton of the entire device. The outer layer is actually a coating. We use Mithril and other metals to make an alloy, plus other accessories to make a 'paint', and then evenly cover it outside the copper shell, which forms what you see. The layer is silvery white.

"You should know that the original 'detection pile' surface is covered with pure Mithril, but pure Mithril has many problems. The first is that it is too high-minded. Basically, as long as there is a point affected by arcane energy, The secret silver will change, so there is no way to make a plate, and the whole piece is black.

"Secondly, Mithril has a lag in its response to arcane energy. This is because it is a very special magic material. Its magical residency and dissipating ability are exactly the same. When it is continuously injected into the magic, Its magic storage and loss rate are balanced, so that the appearance looks unchanged. Only when the energy is terminated, it will be heated and discolored due to the energy balance being broken. This 'lag' is used in plate making. This will make the editing process slow and cumbersome, so we have to find ways to make Mithra's reaction to arcane energy more sensitive and timely.

"In addition, there is another problem with pure Mithril. It is black when the nature changes. It is easy to mix with the ink of the printing press. Even if it fails, it is not easy to see at a glance, so we only consider it. Using Mithril as the main material, use other magic materials to adjust the nature of Mithril and add new features to it.

"We added inert white copper to the alloy to reduce the magical efficiency of Mithril, so that it only changes in the area directly illuminated by the Arcane energy. We also use the blue crystal steel to affect the magical loss of Mithril. Speed, so that it changes as soon as it is illuminated by arcane energy, we also add crystal dust to the final coating material, so that the coating will emit blue light instead of black after being illuminated by arcane energy... Part of the work is done by Mr. Egg."

The Nicholas egg floating on the side floated slightly: "This part of the work takes most of the time to find the right coating formula is not easy, if the coating activity is too low, it is difficult to change after being irradiated by arcane energy. The activity is too high, the layout on the coating will be blurred. And the final coating formula is much more than the secret silver, white copper, blue crystal steel, crystal dust, and many other auxiliary materials are used to achieve adhesion. For the purpose of curing and stabilizing, fortunately, I am still quite good at this aspect. If this work is handed over to ordinary technicians, I am afraid they will have to test the formula after a long time."

All research and development involving “materials” is always the most difficult, and in many cases it is also related to luck. The master of the capital, Cohen, who has set his mind on the Mithril has saved a lot of testing for the whole project. Time, but in the end, the Nicholas egg still took a lot of effort to study the final coating, which is enough to illustrate the hard work of the research.

Gao Wen sighed slightly: "So its basic principle is to use the arcane energy to form a picture to illuminate the coating, so that the surface of the coating is heated to form a 'layout', and then use this layer of 'plate' To print?"

"Right!" Rebecca opened his hand and said, "Ink has been found, and it is made of carbon ink mixed with giant wood gum. The gum of giant wood is usually solid, only It will be slightly opened when it is heated, and it will re-solidify as soon as the heat is gone. We can put the ink board on the bottom, put the paper in the middle, put the arcane transfer cylinder on it, the transfer cylinder After heating, 'brushing' on the paper, the words and patterns are printed!"

“What is the source of the arcane for the coating?” Gao Wen has no doubt about the “ink board” mentioned by Rebecca. This part of the principle is well understood. He cares more about the most critical “Arcane source”. Come. According to the principle described by Rebecca, this arc-transfer cylinder is made in a different way from traditional printing. It is created by magical energy, which means it must have a matching and capable of emitting. The "irradiation end" of the precise image will do.

He didn't think about how the illuminating end was realized for a while, but looking at Rebecca's appearance, this function must have been realized.

Rebecca smiled slyly: "The ancestors swear, have you forgotten the crystal on the magic network communicator?"

Gao Wenyi, suddenly realized one thing: the magic network communicator that has been realized so far, the "holographic projection" produced by it is essentially a traditional illusion spell, the image produced by this spell... The effect of magic.

“The source of the light is inside the drum,” Rebecca pointed to the magical rune on the side of the device. “Look, this is actually the rune substrate used to connect the crystal on the base of the Magic Network Communicator...”

To be honest, this Gao Wen did not recognize it, but after recognizing it, he had to sigh Rebecca's unfettered creativity.

How did the girl think of removing a part of a magic network communicator into a printing cylinder? The technical route of these two gadgets can be blended together in such a magical world!

Rebecca is still explaining the technical details in the drum. She obviously noticed the astonished look on Gao Wen’s face and was able to surprise the ancestor who always thinks ahead of her. A huge sense of accomplishment, she said that the eyebrows danced: "...I didn't directly plug the projection crystal of the magic network communicator into it, but carefully adjusted it, in order to ensure that the arcane phantom projected by the crystal can accurately fall. On the inner wall of the cylinder and without distortion, I placed a lens around the crystal, just like the lens group on the 'crystal resonator'...

“In addition, I also redesigned an input device for the Arcane Transfer Cartridge to transfer images and text to the projected crystal inside. The basic principle is similar to that of the Magic Network Communicator. However, I added some Something: I made an extra large 'color palette' for all 28 letters and a few common symbols, so that the plate maker can edit the text directly on the machine, of course, if you don't use the 'color palette' It is also possible to directly print the content handwritten on the paper to the input device, or convert it into a picture projected by the projection crystal inside the tube wall. However, these things are troublesome to operate because ordinary people are not like the mage. You can use magic to control projection. They use a lot of rune triggers to adjust those pictures. I tried it privately. Even those who read literacy have to practice for a long time to master the input device. ..."

Rebecca Barabala spoke a lot, and Gao Wen was listening to the one-on-one. He couldn’t keep up with the girl’s thoughts, but he didn’t expect the girl to drum up without a teacher. The concept of "keyboard", this silly scorpion is afraid not to become the ancestor of the late generation of keyboard man...

Of course, the sigh of "keyboard" is only secondary. What Gao Wen really marvels is that the entire device's workflow directly "scans" the real thing or paper, then transfers the picture to the projection crystal, and then uses the projection crystal to generate the Austrian The phantom is projected onto the back of the Mithril alloy coating to create a "hot plate", which is then transferred to the paper by the "hot plate"...

The process is so subtle, so interlocking, so... beyond his expectations.

And all of this, he almost did not participate.

He only initially painted a sketch that was not practical enough for Rebecca, and explained the characteristics and requirements of the new press with the girl. As for how the printing machine should be realized... he himself never I want to understand.

But Rebecca has succeeded... No, it’s not that she succeeded, she and her team led her success.

This project should be attributed to the entire Institute of Magic Technology.

Naturally, it also includes the Arcanist "Chen" who was originally a traditional mage from Wangdu.

Rebecca still vividly described her technical ideas, but she soon noticed that Gao Wen’s look became a bit strange, so she couldn’t help but stop: “...ancesage ancestors, what are you thinking about? ”

Gao Wen woke up from his thoughts. He didn't answer, but he licked the hair of Rebecca with a little pet: "Nothing, you did it very well. And the arcane master called Cohen, he did Not bad."

As he realized before, the accumulation of technology in this world has long since mature, and the wisdom and creativity of local people have never been lacking. Even the traditional mages who are regarded as “stubborn and backward” are not lacking in wisdom. Looks backward.

Gao Wen, a soul from the earth, can't be an inventor in this world of magical technology. It can't be a prophet, but he can find out those who have these abilities and give them the right environment and conditions. Let these talented people grow up.

The "Cesil R&D-production system" that he painstakingly established has begun to gradually show his own value and strength.

Rebecca squinted, she didn't know what her ancestors were sighing, but it didn't prevent her from smugly squinting her head in the palm of Gao Wen's hand, between her skull and the slap of her elders. Relationships can rarely be so harmonious.

After two squats, the girl suddenly stopped and her face showed a thoughtful look.

Gao Wen was curious: "What do you think of?"

"Ancestral ancestor, I suddenly thought of one thing... You said that the transfer cylinder and the input device use the technology in the magic network communication device, then the whole set of things can be connected with the magic network communication network. ?"

Gao Wenmu looked at the girl in front of her eyes, and even the Nicholas egg, which had never been snoring, sent a strange snoring from the body. Obviously, the iron star was also touched by Rebecca’s thoughts.

Rebecca continued to say: "We can connect the printing press to the magic net. Anyway, its core part is a magic network communication projection crystal. Just make some adjustments, it's in the crystal and magic network communicator. The signal is completely ok... what is the name you are talking about... Oh, it’s completely compatible. In this way, people at both ends of the Magic Network Communicator can not only talk, but also directly put the instruments on some important occasions. Print it out... The government office in the south must definitely use this feature!"

Gao Wen continues to stun: "..."

Rebecca saw Gao Wen’s reaction and couldn’t help but worry: “Ancestral adults...you talk, my thoughts... Is it too impractical?”

Gao Wen blinked and looked at Rebecca in front of him as he saw the passer: How did her jumping speed of this idea happen?

For a long time, he broke the silence: "I introduce you to two things... one is called fax, one is called remote printing..."
