Seventy-two movable type printing
After dinner, Li Longji still wanted to know who the four beauties who were known as eternal?
Zhou Xiaomo just responded with the sentence "Don't reveal the secrets of heaven", and then pretended to be mysterious, shook his head and smiled without saying a word.
Li Longji had no choice but to do anything about this. If Tianji is leaked too much, can it still be called Tianji?
Sitting in the pavilion drinking tea, Li Longji asked Zhou Xiaomo if his Dugu Qiubai stick could really hit big stones without bent.
Zhou Xiaomo smiled and asked the guards dressed in a few servants not far away who had the most strength.
During the day, he cut off the big man's arm and the guard named Park Yew walked over.
Zhou Xiaomo stretched out his hand and the black ant swayed stick appeared in his hand like magic. He threw it at Park Lie, pointing to the rockery beside the pavilion and said, "You can use the more you have. Pay attention, this lonely and beneficiary stick has a great rebound power, don't hurt you."
Seeing Park Lie hesitating while holding the stick, Zhou Xiaomo smiled and said, "Don't worry, you'll beat him. If you break it, you have no responsibility for you."
Zhou Xiaomo is very confident. This genuine black ant stick that is specially used for military and police is not the kind of ordinary stick that can be bought for 180 yuan in Taobao. It is made of the most advanced and best titanium hollow steel, and it is simple to use manpower to make it impossible to bend.
Park Lie was waiting for this sentence. It was indeed magical to see Zhou Xiaomo during the day, but he was a little disbelief to say that this stick hits a stone without bent it.
Li Longji and several other guards were also a little disbelief.
Park Lie has a captivating domineering spirit when he stands.
"Bang!"
After a violent sound, the black ant flew out of Park Yeo's hand, terrified his arms, and a corner of the rockery was smashed to pieces.
Another guard ran over to pick up the black ant's stick, with a surprise on his face, and sent the stick to Li Longji's hand.
The stick is intact!
Except for some small gravel slag sticks stuck to the stick, the black ant stick was not bent at all and was not damaged.
"It's indeed a good stick!" Li Longji praised, reached out to take the stick and waved it for a while. It was very easy. Holding the handle of the stick in his hand would not slip because of sweating in his palm.
Zhou Xiaomo put away the stick and whispered to Li Longji: "Let's go, take you to drive a baby!"
Li Longji was overjoyed!
Youfu led the way in front and came to the utility room in the backyard, pointing to the neatly stacked bags and said, "Young Master, this is the task you assigned me today. Here are five thousand small wooden strips. I have found more than a dozen carpenters, and I can only do these things a day. I guess I will be able to complete the ten thousand small wooden strips you need tomorrow."
Looking at the wooden strips piled up in the room, Li Longji looked confused. After Lai Fu left, he asked, "Where are the baby you mentioned?"
Zhou Xiaomo spread his palms: "This is the priceless treasure!"
Li Longji was stunned!
Zhou Xiaomo walked into the house, reached out to pick up a small wooden strip, and reached out to Li Longji and said, "Borrow a knife!"
Li Longji handed over the scabbard directly.
Zhou Xiaomo pulled out the knife and praised "Good knife!" Then he pinched the tip of the knife and engraved the word "big" at the cut at the top of the small wooden stick.
Li Longji was puzzled and thought to himself that you are engraving a seal? This handwriting is too terrible!
Zhou Xiaomo carved the word "small" on another small wooden stick.
Li Longji didn't understand even more, what was this for!
Zhou Xiaomo took the inkstone and paper that had been prepared long ago, ground the ink lightly, then dipped it on the ink with the word "big". Pressed it on the paper, and a broken word "big" appeared clearly on the paper. In Li Longji's eyes, he took the wooden strip with the word "little" dipped in ink and printed the word "little" on the paper with the same bad handwriting. Then he looked at Li Longji and said, do you understand?
Li Longji didn't understand even more.
Zhou Xiaomo took four small wooden strips and made a deep knife mark on each small wooden strip, then placed the small wooden strip with the word "big" engraved in the middle of the paper, dipped in ink and marked it on the paper, and a "big" character appeared on the paper in the middle of the four 1s.
Li Longji's breathing accelerated, and he seemed to have thought of something.
Zhou Xiaomo murmured to himself: "Wrong, wrong, this one in the middle should be the word 'small', not 'big'."
Seeing Zhou Xiaomo replace the wooden strip with the word "big" in the middle with the word "small", Li Longji finally understood the mystery. He lamented that this mystery is actually very simple, so simple that it is thinner than a piece of paper. It can be broken with just a slight poke, but why can't he think of it?
"This is movable type printing technique!" Zhou Xiaomo said as he took the small wooden strips engraved with large and small characters and said, "At present, my country uses version engraving and printing, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Each page of paper must have a version, and it will basically be discarded after use. Moreover, the version engraving and printing needs to be engraved in reverse during the engraving process, which increases the difficulty. If a word is wrong, the entire version will be scrapped. The advantage of movable type printing is that these words can be typed at will."
Li Longji knew that this invention was definitely a masterpiece that shook the ancient times, and it would bring unprecedented prosperity to the culture of the entire country.
"However, we must keep this matter confidential for the sake of your great cause for a long time. We need to hoard a certain amount of strength and wealth first. When the time comes, we can only be surprised and unpredictable!" Zhou Xiaomo said as he returned the knife to Li Longji, "Your Majesty, your future journey to ascending the throne will not be smooth and uneven. The road is turbulent. What I can do is to let you be prescient and step faster than others. However, no matter how fast you are, you still need a strong reserve foundation to ensure it!"
Li Longji nodded in agreement!
Zhou Xiaomo said: "This will be the first pot of gold we make. After this pot of gold is made, we will announce this technology in your name. In this way, we will gain both fame and fortune!"
Li Longji hesitated for a moment and said slowly: "It's not good!"
Isn't this all to curry favor with you? Zhou Xiaomo said that this was also what I copied from others, just borrowing flowers to offer Buddha. But I'm sorry to Mr. Bi Sheng. He said seriously: "All the king's land is the king's land. In the future, everything in the world will belong to you. Without your famous leader, how could there be the strongest Kaiyuan prosperous era that spreads everything! I am just a grain of sand in the dust of history, you are a dazzling star in history!"
Leader? Stars? What does leader and star mean? Li Longji is extremely smart and immediately understood that leader should mean leadership, and stars should be eternal stars! Well, this metaphor is good!
