If there really was a printing machine that could print magic scrolls, it would be a waste of time and materials if they didn't sell the scrolls or the machine. They wouldn't be able to earn back the money they invested and could only store it as a technology reserve. How boring would it be to do that?
If they sold it, how could they guarantee that the people who bought it wouldn't use it against them?
Earth was one of the major arms exporting countries, and they had considerable military power. That was why the people who bought the arms wouldn't dare to use it against them. Even if they were really used to deal with him, the weapons and equipment that would be exported to the outside world would be far behind the ones that he used. These big countries could use the difference in technology to crush their opponents.
Whether it was himself or the Lich, they didn't have enough power in today's mysterious land. It wasn't that the Lich wasn't strong enough, but that it wasn't famous. There were too few people and nobles who truly understood how troublesome the Lich, who used to be the Demon King, was. Most people didn't even believe that she used to be the Demon King and ruled over an era.
If he got too carried away and casually leaked this kind of weapons-grade technology or product, it wouldn't be surprising if he got shot in the back. Even if it didn't hurt him, it would still be uncomfortable to be disgusted.
More importantly, if this thing was really made, it wouldn't be of much help to his strength. In a battle where every second mattered, tearing up scrolls was too slow.
Hence, the idea of printing magic books or magic scrolls was only briefly in Lin's mind before he tossed it aside.
Although the dean was a bit disappointed, he still had to discuss the follow-up with the old man. That was the location and protection of the printing machine placed here. The microscope was also placed in the academy, but it was donated to the academy. The responsibility of safekeeping and protection was given to Archmage Kabanbai.
At that time, he didn't think about the printing machine. Plus, the nature of the machines was different. The microscope was a research tool, but the printing machine was commercial. It was hard to compare.
After some discussion, they decided to set up a printing workshop with the printing machine as the center. The academy and Lin would each take half of the profits. There was no concept of shares in the mysterious land yet, so Lin didn't make it too complicated and left some room for negotiation.
The workshop's main customers were obviously mathematics journals. In addition, if there were other people, including the academy, who had a large number of printing requests, the printing machine would also accept the relevant business. Paper and ink would be purchased from the Technical Union, and the academy would find a way to hire them.
The reason why Great Magician Kabambai had agreed so readily was not only because he wanted to promote the mathematics journal, but also because he still wanted to print magic scrolls. Therefore, Lin agreed that under the condition of ensuring safety and idling the printing press, the dean could organize people to tackle this problem.
If they really managed to figure it out, they would have to deal with all the trouble that would follow. The printing machine was just a 'link' at best. It would not cause too much trouble for someone.
The purpose of this discussion was, of course, the protection measures for the printing press. However, Lu Zhou didn't know if people with ulterior motives would try to stop the release of mathematics journals by destroying machines. However, Marco Lin didn't want to gamble on whether others were so kind or evil that they wouldn't choose or choose to destroy.
Great Magician Kabambai didn't have any reason to decline and immediately agreed. After all, this machine was now a treasure in his eyes. Therefore, he transferred the people who were originally guarding the microscope in the Life Building to use it and even increased the number of people. This was because a large amount of paper piled up here was flammable. If they really wanted to destroy it, it wouldn't be too difficult for a Magician or some assassins.
The reason why there was no need for people to protect the other side was because there were people using the microscope almost every day and night. Moreover, who were the people using the microscope? No one dared to offend the group of people who were active in the Life Building. This was not because their academic status was high enough or because they were strong enough. It was because almost all the healers in the Holy City gathered there, or the magicians who were good at healing.
If they dared to offend that group of people, they better hope that nothing bad would happen to them for the rest of their lives. Otherwise, if they wanted to treat them, hmph. In the mysterious land, there was no such thing as a doctor having the heart of a parent or being merciful. Everything was just a transaction, whether it was people or Gods.
Previously, Magician Saint Babak Abnahan was injured and didn't go to the Life Building purely because he just wanted to leave. Healing was just an excuse. Kabambai could understand. After all, if it were him, he wouldn't have the face to stay. Therefore, he didn't mention anything that didn't have eyes.
After everything was discussed, Lin glanced at the apprentices who were working on the draft. In such a short period of time, they really found some mistakes. Everyone discussed for a while, including the way to record errors when they found them, and the extent to which the so-called errors should be covered.
The former just asked everyone to boldly make notes and fold pages on the draft, or put bookmarks, small notes, or any other way to record it. Anyway, this wasn't the final draft.
The latter was mainly a problem of the accuracy of the words used. Should they be vague and leave some space, or should they be accurate and let people understand clearly? It was difficult to come to a unanimous decision on this problem. They could only ask the author of the article and see what he meant when he wrote this paragraph.
However, from beginning to end, there was only one author in the first issue of the mathematics journal. Therefore, Lin could only discuss with everyone about the accuracy of the words that were found out. There was no way to avoid it.
Speaking of which, this group of people was no longer simply 'proofreading' the draft. They were even doing the editing work. However, a certain someone decided to ignore this matter and not give them a raise!
When everything was done and he returned home, it was already noon. Fen went to the academy to teach the Life Building class. The two girls were staring at the data on the forum index, looking for useful parts. Because there was no good way to keep food fresh in the maze, Lin had a habit of not leaving any food behind if he missed lunch.
It was a little troublesome, but it was better than having a stomachache.
However, he still had to deal with his hunger, so he went to the kitchen and casually made something to eat. In a while, it would be time for the mathematics class, so he had to make use of the time to rest.
When he returned to Kabambai Academy, the bell rang to signal the start of class. The person who appeared on the podium didn't waste any time and directly started the class for the day. This was a practice and habit during this period of time. On the other hand, it also prevented too many people from asking about the printing machine.
Because the machine was in the mathematics building, and Lin didn't force everyone to keep it a secret, it was inevitable that information would leak out. In any case, it wasn't very important. If it was known, then it was known. It didn't matter at all.
However, this didn't mean that he liked being chased and questioned. He could imagine that everyone wanted to ask the same question. It was fine if he answered once or twice, but if he answered every time he saw someone, no matter how patient he was, he would still go crazy.
It was just that … the atmosphere of the class today was a little strange.
Standing on the podium, the gazes of the students were not filled with worship, nor were they filled with schadenfreude waiting to see someone embarrass themselves. Even more so, they weren't serious expressions that focused on learning and didn't care about the outside world. Everyone's eyes were filled with sympathy, pity, and disgust from looking at something dirty.
What was going on?
During the break in class, a bunch of people actually gave him all kinds of strange things. There were aphrodisiacs, tranquilizers, aphrodisiacs, healing medicines, aphrodisiacs, and holy elixirs! The most inexplicable thing was that someone actually gave him darkness medicine. This was a negative effect medicine that temporarily blinded people. It was usually used as a trap or by warriors to attack enemies.
Everyone had the same expression and the same action. They shook their heads regretfully and then patted someone's shoulder. Just like that, a large podium was filled with all kinds of magic potions. Those who didn't know would think that someone was here to open a grocery store and sell medicine.
At first, a few people wanted to refuse. However, more and more people came forward. Seeing that procrastinating wasn't a solution and might even delay his class, he had no choice but to accept all of them. After class, no one came to disturb him. On the contrary, in order to carry such a table of medicine back home, it was really a headache for him.
In the end, he borrowed a large cloth, wrapped up the pile of medicine, and carefully carried it home. Along the way, a certain person was puzzled.
In short, after a lesson, the students weren't confused, but the teacher was confused.
Where was this place? Did something happen that he didn't know about?
He held this question in until after dinner, when Lin finally asked the black-haired, brown-skinned girl at the table. Kaya usually paid attention to the forum. It could be said that among the few people, she was the one who stuck to the Internet the most. She especially liked to read some gossip. If there really was some sensational news on the forum, it would be right to ask Kaya.
It was just that the girl's answers were usually quite neat. The process of the matter, the reason, the source, the person involved, and the subsequent development, the girl could use her own point of view and investigation to say the most. With the help of the forum's index search program, even if it wasn't the complete truth, Lin was confident that it was the closest to the truth among the information circulating on the forum.
But today, the girl stammered for a long time and couldn't say anything. At the same time, her pair of eyes kept glancing at her elder sister. This kind of small action was simply too obvious.
So a certain person could only brace himself and ask Lich, who might be the person involved, "What did you do?"
Fen, however, looked at Kaya blankly and asked, "His matter has something to do with me?"
"Actually, it didn't at first, but it did later."
"Which is it? How come I don't know?"
Lich's acting was so good that a certain person couldn't tell if she really didn't know or if she was pretending not to know.
Kaya said shyly, "It's, it's what happened last night."
"Oh, that one," Fen said in realization. But then she pointed at a certain person and asked, "But what does that have to do with him?"
"The teacher is now called a hero, but it's more derogatory," Kaya replied with a helpless expression.
This time, a certain person couldn't sit still and asked about the culprit. "What did you do?"
