What Lin casually printed out directly predicted the special climate change in the next hundred years.

It was made into a thirty-two format book, and because of the large number of pages, it was bound in perfect binding. In addition to the production, Lin also recorded the process and made it into a file like a printing machine instruction manual.

But compared to the binding method of glue binding, seeing the great magician Kabanbai of the perpetual calendar, I was even more surprised by its content. It's just that although this book looks like a good money scene, it doesn't know how many people's jobs will be ruined. Thinking of what the forum is to scribes, perpetual calendars and astrologers, Kabanbai shuddered as he looked at this young man who was dying everywhere.

In the end, the lonely perpetual calendar printed by Lin with a printing machine was put on the shelf under the advice of the great magician Kabanbai.

At present, the publication of mathematics journals is still the most important thing. There is no need to expose the perpetual calendar and open another front. Even this book is very convenient for many people.

This was exactly someone's original intention, so Lin accepted the old man's opinion with pleasure.

The proofreading of the first issue of mathematics journals took one more day than expected. The most important thing is that the ten apprentices are addicted to being editors. When they see any sentences that are not smooth, they want to discuss them.

Then a certain person was besieged by ten people at the same time, and there were ten suggestions for improvement. Afterwards, Lin deeply felt that there should be a clearer standard for proofreading and editing. It's not a solution if you don't stay so old.

What's worse is that this time I also deeply experienced how superficial my grasp of the language of Midi is. Is this word derived from the root of Lumbard, or the root of Saxon? Since when did it appear, and what level does it belong to in the comparative division? Every apprentice can tell one Set it up, and then make someone stunned for a while.

Some usages, strictly speaking, can be attributed to the local dialects used in the southwestern peninsula of Midland. It is not used in this way in the holy city of Estali, but it is used in official books and documents, and has its more formal usage. There is nothing to talk about, just change it.

Plus there's some weird syntax. Although it is not too incomprehensible for people to understand, it takes a little time to think about it if you want to understand it. For this, someone is speechless. Take a closer look at the selected parts, most of them are the language habits before time travel. It is not a big problem when it is used in oral conversation with others; but it is not so strict to use it in a book.

Although there are quite a few textbooks written by someone, some of them are even circulated. But until today, these parts were not really corrected. It made everyone feel like they were taking a Chinese class even though they were editing a mathematics journal.

Because there are many mistakes like this, the amendment plan also needs to be finalized by Lin himself to make sure that the meaning of the text is the opinion he wants to express. So when the proofreading is completed, there are only four days left for printing.

Opening the control panel interface of the printing machine requires a password. Except for Lin who knows it, he only told the great magician Kabanbai before. Under the suggestion of the head of the academy, the password is not handed over to the front-line staff for the time being. When it's time to use it, the two of them will take a little trouble and turn on the machine in person. As for the typesetting work, only Lin can handle it at this stage.

However, the entire front-line printing operation still needs someone to lead it. It is impossible for this person to be Lin himself. Even if someone is watching from the beginning to the end this time, it is only limited to the first issue, and it is unlikely to continue to do so in the future.

The one who was selected to lead the ten-person apprentice team was the young apprentice who stood up and led others to discuss while doing it under Lin's behest during the first printing trial. He can be regarded as the grandson of the principal's direct line, with good courage, ability, and status, so it was decided that he would temporarily lead the entire team.

The paper and ink needed for printing are still being delivered within a few days. Ink will also have a storage period, so the amount is not too much. But the paper basically has no shelf life. It may turn yellow after a long time, but it can still be used as long as it is not brittle. Compared with the paper used in non-magical books, the paper used in mathematics journals is superior in all aspects, except that it cannot be used to record magic.

One thousand volumes, sixty-four pages, sixteen-moment mathematics journals, the actual printing time took less than half a day, and more time was spent on moving and cutting paper. This also made the apprentices understand why when they met the magician at the beginning, he said that printing was physical labor rather than technical work.

As volumes of periodicals take shape, another question arises: What about the book covers? The extended question is the binding method for official publication, which one should be used?

The method of saddle nails is undoubtedly the simplest, but it always feels like something is missing. According to this group of young apprentices, the solemnity of books is missing. But it should be too late to make a hard cover like a hardcover book, and the weight of the inner pages is not enough.

At this time, a new batch of paper was sent, which solved everyone's urgent needs. It was a batch of trial works of cloud paper. It was improved according to the method provided by someone, and azurite powder was added to the pulp making process to make the paper a soft blue color.

The original use of cloud paper, Lin intended to use it to make business cards, bookmarks, book cards, greeting cards, invitations and the like. After being delivered, it was seen by several apprentices, and the thickness was thicker than ordinary paper. Together, several people decided to use cloud paper as the book cover, and even the cover was painted.

This is great, even the design work has been done, but the salary is still not raised. Someone pretended to be stupid, gave a few words of praise, and then imported the designed cover into the typesetting interface of the printing machine.

Everyone is a little surprised that hand-painted patterns and artistic fonts can be imported directly. But thinking of the various input methods on the forum, there are no problems with all kinds of strange magic circles, not just text input, and everyone is relieved.

With the cover, Lin Shun handed over to the editor the list of publishers, content editors, working teams and cooperating objects on the bottom page, as well as basic data such as publication and first printing date. The most important, of course, are the methods and conditions for future submissions.

Everyone was quite surprised that they were lucky enough to be listed on the bottom page of the journal. Generally, when transcribing magic books, the scribes are not allowed to leave their own names. It means that even if it is possible, no one dares to stay. If any key part is copied wrongly, the victimized magician will come to the door along the line, and it will be over in minutes.

After all, the nature of periodicals is different from ordinary magic books, and everyone does not know whether it is good or bad for the time being. But for the great magician Kabanbai, that's just a smile. When the young underachievers were promoted, they did not forget their contributions, which was more important than any benefits.

Finally, everyone who signed the journal agreed. Everything was ready, of course Lin started the machine to print the final cover and bottom pages.

Although the binding method is simple, the speed is not fast, and everyone's movements seem a little stumbling. The main reason is that the speed of picking pages is too slow, and everyone is not yet proficient. In fact, when Lin was printing, the layout was not arranged sequentially, but in a special working order. But when everyone is busy, they become chaotic, so they don't care about the order.

So regardless of the quantity of 1,000 volumes, the printing was completed very quickly, but the time for paper cutting and binding took several times more. Especially when the number of pages is misplaced, the saddle stitches have to be removed and rearranged. This situation has happened many times.

But at last everything was on the last day of June, and the last riding nail was nailed down. The 1,000-volume first issue of mathematics journals was officially announced.

In order to celebrate the completion of the project within the deadline, the head of the academy, Kabanbai, paid for it out of his own pocket, and asked the restaurant chefs in the academy to prepare a feast for the ten magic apprentices who have been so busy these days. Although whether sixty-four pages can be called a "book" is still open to debate; but in just a few days, relying on ten people to complete a thousand copies is definitely a mystery. An unprecedented feat.

Of course, Lin also attended this banquet. As the founder of a journal, I can't justify ignoring these front-line people responsible for publishing. Moreover, the great magician Kabanbai can also be said to be a nobleman after he came to the Holy City. In many places, he can see that the other party has spared no effort to help him, and he really needs to show something.

Entrusting the chamber of commerce related to the academy, with the suggestion of the head of the academy, they sent a batch of 'good wine' from the holy city. This usually only appears at formal magician's banquets. It is rare for apprentices to have the opportunity to drink the fruit wine brewed by the wood elves who belong to the world tree Uktrasil~www.NovelMTL.com~ It's not intoxicating kind of.

With such a heavy budget, I also want to win over these ten apprentices who help to print, so that they can continue this printing work in the future. Because any job is the same, there is a gap between novices and experienced hands in terms of work efficiency. These ten people have experience at least, it's better than the next issue where some newcomers who don't understand anything will come and start teaching from scratch.

For this aspect, of course, I have also sent a note to the director of the college first, and I have also received support. Losing the job of copying is an unbearable blow to many magic apprentices. Some people had no choice but to rejoin the ranks of adventure; others chose the riskier way of making money, that is, making magic scrolls.

The former is in danger of life, and near the holy city, there is no chance for adventurers to come forward, so they can only go far away. The latter has the danger of the magic getting out of control, and the possibility of production failure. Neither is such a steady source of income.

Especially for a magic apprentice, the level of scrolls that can be made is limited. The income deducts the cost of materials and the opportunity cost of failure, and often loses money. Therefore, the great magician Kabanbai seemed very happy to be able to provide his apprentices and grandchildren with a stable source of income, and he believed that no one would refuse.

With this veteran as a guarantee, as soon as Lin opened his mouth, everyone hurriedly agreed, for fear of losing this opportunity. All kinds of flattering words were said in succession. If it weren't for someone who was determined and thick-skinned, this table of soup tonight would really be unbearable.

But looking at this group of excited young people, it's hard to imagine the expressions of relief on the faces of everyone when someone appeared tonight, but another person who was so beautiful that I don't know how to describe it did not appear. For such an attitude, Lin could only laugh or cry. It seems that the demon king also created his own legend in this era.
