The Magic Silk Road in the Land of Enchantment was complicated, but he still had to attend math classes, which was the most important source of income nowadays.
However, one day, someone who was teaching a mathematics class suddenly felt a strong sense of oppression and crisis. It was as if someone was preparing a strategic spell next to him, intending to blow him up to his heart's content. And he was not the only one who felt it. All the Sorcerers in the classroom felt it too. Some of them even stood up alertly and tried to find the source.
Because the feeling was too strong, they soon determined the direction. Lin also turned his head to look. With his special observation vision, he estimated the distance of the source, which was the printing workshop.
Something happened to the printing press? Is someone causing trouble?
That was Lin's first thought. He immediately cast Blink and teleported to the room where the printing press was placed.
He saw that although the machine was not operating, there was a chaotic tangle of power in midair. It was as if multiple sources of magic had gone out of control at the same time and interfered with each other, temporarily suppressing the outbreak of power.
But it was definitely not a good thing! It was like a pressure cooker with a lid. When the lid could not be closed and it exploded, the power would only be greater.
At this time, other Sorcerers who were in math class ran into the printing workshop one after another and saw the dangerous scene.
These veteran Sorcerers were indeed experienced. They determined that the loss of control had not reached the final stage, and there was still a chance to save it. So, they quickly took out their usual short wands or other spellcasting media equipment and began to control the tangle of power that had gone out of control. Another group of people looked for the cause of the loss of control.
After the situation happened, Lin, who entered the workshop first, was not at a loss and could only stare blankly. It took him some time to determine the source of the loss of control of magic, which was the Manroland printing plate on the printing press.
For someone who loved the concept of self-destruction, even if he did not make a red button with a skull logo, he would have added an emergency stop switch for the machine. So, he immediately slapped the red and blue switches under the control panel, cutting off the power supply channel of the Manroland metal, and ejecting the entire printing plate from the machine. On the other hand, the printing press that was running was forced to stop.
The cause of the loss of control was removed, and the tangle of power was gradually controlled by a group of grand Sorcerers. After confirming that the destructive power was slowly dispersing, Lin began to observe other places.
In the printing room, the doors and windows were in good condition, so it could be ruled out that they were caused by an external force. The few people who were originally in the printing room were all familiar faces. Other than a few apprentices who helped with the printing of the journal, there were only two mages who were the direct disciples of Kabanbai. There were no strangers that Lin Li did not know. Therefore, it should be possible to prevent outsiders from sabotaging it.
However, those two mages had been entrusted with the task of researching and printing magic scrolls by their teacher. Was their mistake the cause of the Authority going out of control?
When the Uncontrollable Authority in the air disappeared without a trace, the printing machine came to a complete halt. The crisis seemed to have been averted. Only then did everyone have the leisure to look at the situation in the workshop, including the old men who were crowding outside the door.
The printing machine was no stranger to mathematics classes. After discovering the amazing consistency of the journals, a group of people took the opportunity to touch the machine. At the same time, he understood all kinds of data and even saw the actual operation of the printing press. Now, that interest had long since passed. After all, the printing press was useless to most people. It wasn't until today that it attracted everyone's attention again.
The group of people talked at once and discussed animatedly. Some asked about the printing press, some asked about the situation just now, and some asked what had happened. A certain person answered everyone with one sentence and then another, but his whole mind was focused on the cause of the loss of control.
"Who was so courting death to actually engrave sixteen anti-magic arrays on the magical metal!" An old mage's voice was loud as a bell as he scolded.
At this time, everyone gathered around the old mage. He was pointing at the Manroland printing plate that had been bounced off the machine by someone. There were sixteen neatly engraved patterns of magic arrays on it. However, now that the magic arrays had been destroyed, the original Manroland printing plate was no longer flat. Other than the uneven thickness and slight distortion, the key parts of the magic arrays looked as if they had been melted.
The dean, who had arrived late, also saw the embarrassing scene in the printing room. In the group that he personally led, on the topic of printing magic scrolls, some people thought that more preparations should be made, while others thought that it would be better to just make gradual adjustments during the experiment.
It wasn't until recently that he decided to carry out the experiment. But he didn't think that the two students that he had originally supported the experiment would actually start the first trial printing of magic scrolls before he had arrived, and then cause such a scene.
Looking at the broken engraved anti-magic arrays on the Manroland printing plate, the mages who were carrying out the experiment or knew of such a research topic all had heavy hearts. They had originally thought that the difficulty was only finding suitable ink and scroll carriers. But if they couldn't even produce a printing plate, then how could the follow-up work continue?
Picking up the Manroland printing plate that had been bounced off, the great mage couldn't hide his disappointment and said, "Is there really no way to print magic scrolls?"
"If it's a problem with the printing press, I have a way to solve it," someone who hadn't left said from the side.
When everyone heard this, they hurriedly asked. Lin Sheng used a whiteboard technique to display the magic array that was supposed to be printed on the metal printing plate, which was the magic array of the Cobweb spell.
This was a very popular magic scroll. For adventurers who didn't have the power of mages, or for adventurers who were willing to retain the power of mages, the Cobweb spell was a very useful spell whether it was used as an ambush or as a rearguard. It wasn't suitable for large-scale battles, but it was widely used in small-scale battles, adventures, and explorations.
Lin Sheng waved his hand and divided the magic array into more than a dozen layers. When he let go again, these more than a dozen layers were separated into more than a dozen planar drawings for everyone to see clearly. Some of the quick-witted mages immediately understood what he meant.
Looking at the separated magic array patterns, there were only a few drawings that were simple lines and outlines. The rest of the drawings only had a small portion of the runes on each drawing. And the point was that these runes existed alone and wouldn't have any meaning or effect.
"We just need to print them separately and print them many times until we finally print a complete magic array pattern. If we still have to pay attention to it, we can use materials that don't contain power to make the printing plate. This can avoid unexpected effects on the reverse runes on the plate. "
In order to achieve the effect of automatically changing the plate, the Manroland printing plate had a channel that continuously supplied magic power. And this supply of power would support the complete magic array on the metal plate, which wasn't surprising. It was just that no one had thought of it before this happened.
It was true that ordinary materials carrying magic words would corrode the carrier, but this process wouldn't happen instantly and would take some time to brew, depending on the level of the runes themselves.
This shouldn't happen to those with simple lines and outlines.
As for those with part of the runes engraved on them, because a small portion of the runes wouldn't bring about strong magic effects, the corrosion shouldn't be too serious. In other words, a printed plate that was engraved could be used for some time.
Although the mages who were researching the printing of magic scrolls didn't have the ability to know everything, they weren't idiots. Hearing this idea, everyone could come up with many suitable improvement plans.
Now that they knew that the reverse magic array would cause the printing process to go out of control, how many layers to divide the plate into, how to divide it, and how to complete a magic scroll with the least amount of processing was just a branch of the research.
At this time, Lin said, "Since we're going to divide the plates, we can consider which ones can be used for the public edition."
"What do you mean by that?" Archmage Kabambai, who was most concerned about this matter, asked.
Lin didn't explain it directly. He just used a blank slate to show another magic array pattern and spread it out in a similar way. In the end, it could be seen that in the new magic array pattern diagram, there were several patterns that were similar to the one of the Web spell. Lin said, "The basic forms of magic scrolls are those: a pentagram, a hexagram, a cross, and a large circle. There are several smaller circles outside the large circle. These engraved plates weren't limited to only one type of magic scroll. They could be used for many types of magic scrolls. That way, the preparation work for printing magic scrolls can be reduced by a lot, because some of the materials are universal. "
This was actually similar to the concept of movable type printing, except that someone didn't provide one or two words, nor did they cover all the words on the plate and print them all in one go.
The new idea made everyone feel quite excited, as if the progress of their work had been greatly improved. At this time, Lin proposed another idea, saying, "If the scrolls are printed separately, perhaps there will be a new research direction. That is, which parts of a magic scroll can be printed and which can't? "
"What does that mean?" Kabambai asked.
"Perhaps everyone is thinking of using the printing method to make magic scrolls in one go. But have you ever thought of not thinking of doing it in one go, but instead of the original method of making magic scrolls, have you ever thought about it? If we do it this way, we only need to find the parts that can be successfully preserved through printing, and then let the creator add the remaining parts to complete the magic scroll. The advantage of using machines is that it is standardized and uniform, and the remaining parts that require spirituality will be given by humans. This way, we can shorten the time needed to make magic scrolls and reduce the chances of failure. As long as we can do this, we can be considered to have taken a substantial step forward in the path of printing magic scrolls. "
This time, no one said anything. Archmage Kabambai directly put his arm around Lin's shoulder and asked, "Little Guy, you really don't want to help me print magic scrolls?"
Lin laughed dryly and said, "Dean, I can help with the machine part and give some ideas and ideas. But I'm not good at the other materials. Besides, I'm busy with other things at hand. "
It was said that a certain mathematician had changed his nature recently. He no longer studied mathematics and raised a bunch of magic moths to play with. Considering that the mastermind seemed to be another person, after knowing the truth of that person's resurrection, Kabambai really didn't have the courage to compete with a demon king.
