Chapter 421 Questionnaire 2
From Gwen, Jiayi came to Jade's laboratory with his own movable type printing tools.
Jade and his team chose different technical directions, and their progress is not as good as Jiayi, but their potential is still not small. Especially if Jiayi wants to print pictures and texts, with the help of Jade and his team's technology, it can greatly improve efficiency.
Jade and the others were all in the underground laboratory of Maduo's family. Although Maduo bought a house like Jiayi, he didn't live in it for much time, unlike Jiayi. After the first semester, he basically lived outside.
As soon as Jia entered, she saw Jade, Maddo, Yancy and Chester sitting around, writing and painting on this piece of paper, discussing what. Madge is not here. She has been busy with paper mills and should be in the paper mill now.
Jiayi took out an iron box from the bracelet and put it down, and asked to them, "What are you doing? Come together."
When Yang Xi looked up, he saw that it was Jiayi. He pushed away the paper and pen in his hand, stood up and said, "It's not that we are studying replication techniques that have been disassembled. It's still difficult to automatically carve wooden boards based on replication techniques."
Jiayi proudly kicked the iron box he put down: "Mine is ready. Do you want to ask Professor Quinnie for help? She should be more time. It should be very simple to help you improve a spell."
Seeing Jiayi coming, the rest of the people put down their work and surrounded him. While Ma Duo took the box on the ground, he agreed and said, "If we could ask Professor Quinny to help, that would be fine. We have a headache now and we still don't have much idea."
After saying that, he opened Jiayi's iron box, took out the metal font molds inside, and placed them on the test bench piece by piece, making waves of metal impact sounds.
Yancy was not so optimistic: "Professor Quinie's relationship with us is not as good as you. It's not good to always bother the other party, and it's better to do it yourself."
Queenie is a purple-robed mage. If it weren't for traveling, Jiayi and the others would not have been able to see a purple-robed mage, let alone ask her for help.
"You don't have to let Queenie do it directly. She is a professor and you are a student. Isn't it normal for students to ask professors to guide you? You can ask Queenie to provide you with some ideas, which is better than you are now like a group of headless flies."
Yanxi was stunned. This was a good way.
They then discussed Jiayi's movable type printing. Jiayi has a complete set of model models. When new letters are needed, the corresponding letters can be directly molded from the model, so it is not troublesome to make them.
However, it is not easy to type. They are not skilled. It took a lot of time to correctly type out the contents of the previous page of a book I took, and framed it with a metal frame.
Ma Duo looked at the page printed in his hand. There were some stains on it because everyone was not proficient in their hands, but it did not affect reading. Each word was even in size. Although it was not as beautiful as the handwriting, it was very standardized.
"Jiayi, are you specifically targeting ordinary people? As long as you are willing to spend time, you can type out a book without magical participation."
"Yes." Jia nodded, "Through this ordinary chamber of commerce, you can print and publish books, so you don't have to be limited to the magic world."
In fact, ordinary people cannot use magic rewriters. With a slight transformation of this kind of magic machine, they can be activated and powered by magic stones, and they do not need to be a magician to use it.
However, for non-magics, the requirements for using this type of machinery are still too high, and special training is required, and maintenance is not very convenient. In the world of mages, few people will provide after-sales service. If you have any problems, you can only do it yourself or spend money to hire someone.
This time, Jiayi came here, in addition to displaying his movable type printing, he also wanted to entrust Yangxi's machine tool workshop to make several movable type machine tools. Although the alphabetical characters require fewer types, the number is not small at all.
Jiayi brought a letter with a model and a medical box, but after only two pages of paper, the letters began to be missing. However, this is also related to the unscientific arrangement of letters. These letters are all distributed evenly, but in the composition of words, the frequency of each letter is different, and the frequency of words in the article is also different, so the average distribution will only lead to too many letters and some are always insufficient.
In order to quickly retrieve characters, Jiayi is designing a fast search and storage system to make it easier to access characters. Letters are much more convenient than Chinese characters to search because there are fewer types, so it is more convenient to use the required letters.
From Jade and the others, Jiayi came to Yanel again. Yanel was busy with the latest questionnaire, and it was almost over.
In fact, this questionnaire is more about reassuring the professors of the college. For Jiayi, even if the survey results are not ideal, it will not affect his intention to run a newspaper. First, because the newspaper has been actually tested on the earth and has a wider audience. Second, it is because this is the college's industry and he does not need to pay his own money.
It feels the most enjoyable to use other people's money to do your own experiments. If the newspaper is successful, Jiayi can also let Valoca follow up quickly, and the left and right will not suffer any losses.
Yanel has collected a batch of questionnaires. Because of Jiayi's suggestion, the scope of this investigation is wider, and it is more aimed at mage apprentices, ordinary workers - of course, literate, and the proportion of mages is greatly reduced.
This result finally met Jiayi's expectations. Among the options provided by Jiayi, the highest proportion is current affairs, and the rest is novels, current affairs, and popular science. This is beyond Jiayi's expectations. Perhaps because the number of mage apprentices in the college is more, I hope to receive some latest knowledge.
In fact, this questionnaire can be operated with a lot of room for operation. As long as the target group is changed, the results will be very different. Therefore, if you encounter unreliable surveys, the results have no reference value at all. It is actually quite easy to manipulate the results like Jiayi.
After being satisfied, Jiayi said to Yanel: "Looking at this survey, we have a lot of audiences. Now, we can start to publish the first issue. You go to the professors of the college to make an appointment with the articles, and also find someone to collect real-time news from all over the country. This is also very important."
Yanel said: "We have already started this. We contacted the mage associations at several nearby locations to collect the latest news from various countries through them. This is easy. The college students are all over the country. They will definitely hope to get the latest news from their hometowns. There are also sales channels. We have cooperated with the Skoll Chamber of Commerce and the Valoca Chamber of Commerce to quickly ship our newspapers to various countries for sale."
Yanel is indeed excellent. Although he doesn't know much about the newspaper, he has been preparing for it based on Kaichi's description. If he only started preparing at Kaichi's pace now, I don't know if the newspaper can be officially released by the end of the semester.
Although the Magic Academy is not like an ordinary school and is deserted when it comes to holidays, it will greatly reduce the flow of people, which will affect the sales and influence of newspapers.
It is less than a month since the end of the semester, and it is already time to rush the construction period to publish newspapers as soon as possible.
