Jiayi stood in front of the warehouse of the college. This was his first time here.

He had been to the academy's warehouse to select magic equipment, but it was not the same one. The warehouse looked relatively remote. After Terry opened the door, he saw a burst of dust falling from the lintel, but did not float into the door. Instead, it seemed like he encountered a transparent baffle, which drifted outward. After falling to the ground, there was a clear dividing line.

Terry turned his head and looked at Jiayi, saying, "Come on, the magic copywriter is inside, remember to return it intact."

He had no good expression on Jiayi, and was willing to bring Jiayi to the warehouse because of Gwen. Jiayi begged Gwen for a while before begging Gwen to borrow the copier from the college.

If Jiayi came forward, he might be able to borrow it, but it would never be so easy.

When I entered the warehouse, this warehouse was larger than what Jiayi had seen before. Although I could find that no one had been here for a long time when I opened the door, there was no dust or dull feeling inside.

This is not like a treasure house, but more like a warehouse specially used to store large machinery. Although there are not many things, they are very large in size. After walking two steps inside, Kazui even saw something like a cannon.

Of course, it was not all violent. Jiayi also saw a set of exquisite tables and chairs, and a half-floating carriage in the air. It seemed that Jiayi loved to enjoy it.

Terry took Jiayi to the front of a large, green metal box and said to Jiayi: "This is a magic copywriter. OK, take it yourself."

He had no idea of ​​going forward to help. The iron box looked two meters square and more than half a person tall. He knew it was not easy at first glance and could not be moved simply.

Jia turned his head and glanced at Terry, then stretched out his left hand and covered it on the copy machine. He put the entire machine into the bracelet with a "swoosh". Fortunately, there was a storage bracelet, otherwise it would not be easy to take the machine away.

Terry's eyes shrank and he felt a little surprised. Unexpectedly, Jiayi actually had a storage bracelet.

"I didn't expect Orlando to value you so much." Terry said softly, thinking that this storage bracelet was given to him by Orlando.

...

After getting the copywriter, Jiayi did not put it in the laboratory where he lived, but in the laboratory where he originally cultivated elves rice seeds. The laboratory has not been taken back. Jiayi also cultivated some other crops in it, but after cultivating elves rice, he did not carry out large-scale cultivation.

His own laboratory was too messy. He studied the machine tools in it and occupied a lot of space. He also put two verification machine tools in it, and put a copy machine in it, which was too crowded.

Jiayi moved the table in the laboratory aside, and a large piece of empty space was released. Then he reached out and placed his hand on the open space. The copy machine fell to the ground with a "bang". Even though Jiayi used the floating technique, he could not let the copy machine fall quietly to the ground.

Jia hurriedly came forward to check it several times, and then he found that there was no problem before he felt at ease.

If it was broken just now, Jiayi didn't know how to explain it.

He lifted the lid of the metal box, and there was a handle inside. He grabbed the handle and lifted it up, and then stretched out a shelf about one person's height.

There are four metal plates in the middle of the shelf, each piece can be pulled apart, and there is a small box next to it. Jia stretched his hands into it, and there was a layer of black color on his fingers. This was the ink cartridge.

Each metal plate is engraved with a rune magic array, the two on the top are a pair, and the two on the bottom are another pair.

Jiayi pulled up the board below, and there was a groove inside, which should be the place where the paper was placed, but this was just a guess. He was actually scratching his head now, and there was no instruction manual for this thing.

He searched again and confirmed that there was indeed no instruction manual.

Fortunately, he was familiar with electronic products, but he could still make some things. When he was a programmer, he always felt that the things he designed were simple enough, but there were still customers who couldn't use them. Now he also had a customer feeling.

After fiddling for a long time, he finally started the thing. The upper part is used to place the originals that need to be copied, and the lower part is blank parchment paper. After starting, the above content will be copied directly to the bottom. This thing is a bit like a copy machine, which can copy the above content to the bottom intact.

Although this thing does not require type-up, it is not particularly efficient. Every time a piece of paper is printed, someone needs to change the paper manually. The paper used for printing is very large. You can print one large piece at a time and then cut it out and bind it.

Jiayi was fiddling with the machine, and Machi and Yance came together.

Yanxi held a roll of newsprint in his hand. After entering the door, he saw Jiayi fiddling with a copy machine. The reason why it is called a copy machine is because this machine is printed through copying. It can only copy the handwriting on the original, and will not copy the patterns that originally belonged to paper like a copy machine.

Yanxi put the paper aside, ran over quickly, touched the copywriter curiously, and asked, "Is this the copywriter you borrowed from Professor Terry? Didn't Professor Terry like you very much? Why would he still be willing to lend you?"

"This copy machine is not Terry's, it belongs to the college. Why doesn't he lend me? And it was not me who borrowed it. Professor Gwen went to borrow it. I just moved it back."

If it weren't for the last sentence, I would have thought he had borrowed it back according to reason.

Yanxi looked at the copy machine carefully and observed every part carefully. He was doing machine tools recently and became interested in this kind of magical machinery. Now when he saw a different one, he wanted to understand some principles and the difficulty of making it.

If this machine hadn't belonged to him, he would have the urge to take apart and take a look. Of course, if it belonged to them, Jia would have dismantled it early in the morning.

The rest of the people also surrounded them, and Jade and Madolchester were also there. Although they have lived very close to each other, they have rarely done a project together recently. Because paper mills and machine tool workshops involve too much energy, the goods in their shops now have been much less, and most of them are purchased from outside, rather than made by themselves.

Jiayi introduced the machine to them. He had just studied it for a long time and was already familiar with some of the principles of the machine.

The most important thing about this machine is to use replication to extract the contents on the upper layer of boards, and then directly copy them to the parchment paper in the lower layer of boards. After writing a large piece, you need to open the lower plate and replace it with another piece of paper to operate. The manual participation rate is very high, but one advantage is that you can copy two sides at one time.

"This thing is very expensive, and it is all achieved using replication techniques. No wonder a magazine is so expensive." After learning about it, Maduo couldn't help but feel a little shocked.

Rewriting a page of paper may not be very expensive, but if it is a book, the price will be higher. One page of paper is 10 copper plates, and a book is 10 more expensive even if it is only 100 pages. In addition, the cost of parchment, machine depreciation, logistics storage, labor costs, and this has not even calculated the author's copyright costs. This series of books adds up to be expensive even if they are more professional books.

Jade also said: "When I was not yet a formal wizard, I always complained that books were too expensive, especially magazines, and I didn't dare to subscribe to too many books. Many times I only dared to buy second-hand viewings. I thought these magazines always said that losing money is a scam."

Many people have heard that magazines and other books rely on subsidies from the Supreme Council and major organizations to survive, but everyone thinks that at least they won’t lose too much. After all, not everyone understands the printing industry. Now that they know the printing cost, they all think that this is no longer an ordinary loss.

No wonder the college did not publish a publication in the end, and the more it sold, the more it would be.

Books like the four major journals all have legendary reviewers, and these reviewers are all obligated, otherwise the cost will increase a lot. This is why there is no large organization that can basically run large journals. It is too difficult to find a sufficiently qualified reviewer.

"This kind of copy machine is not cheap to manufacture, it would be great if the printing could be less expensive."
