Lord of Arcane

Chapter 634 Cloud Print Semi-Automatic Printer
Since the arrival of the Yuexilan family, elves have continued to come to Savile Town, but at this time, there is no need for Xia Duo and Niya to show up in person.

Xia Duo found out at Yue Xilan's house through the patriarch of the Yinye family, Orepus, that a high-ranking elf mage appeared on the other side of Conifera City, and all the elf elite mages who were similar to human high-level mages It was taken.

That is to say, the remaining ones are only at the level of middle-level mages at most, so Xia Duo chose to entrust the Silver Leaf family to receive the elf refugees. Of course, the reception is only the last step, mainly to persuade them to leave.

It's not to persuade them to return to Cormanthor, it's not realistic.Advising them to stay at the supply point east of Savile's Territory with peace of mind is hello, hello, hello everyone.

Although the arrival of the elves was a bunch of refugees, this busy and chaotic atmosphere also diluted Xia Duo's worries about drow and dragon disasters.

Maybe it's because there are so many elves as a backing, or maybe it's because the threat hasn't arrived every day. After a long time, the feeling fades away. Anyway, Xia Duo has really relaxed a lot these two days.

It is no longer like before, ready to respond to all kinds of troubles at any time almost 24 hours a day, and the days that should be lived must be lived, and they must be lived normally.

……

The Tower of Time, in a workshop.

Xia Duo was carefully assembling a well-shaped magic device on the test bench. Although his movements were very cautious, his mind was very relaxed. The manufacturing difficulty of a magic scroll printing machine was far less than that of a flying sword.

Even the flying sword has been made, and the magic scroll printing machine is no longer a problem.

The main body of this guy is a rectangular table, about half a palm high, and one side of the table is a long and narrow rectangular ink tank, which is divided into three grids, suitable for three different inks.

In addition, this ink cartridge can also be removed and replaced with other spare ink cartridges. In terms of design concept, Xia Duo referred to the ink cartridges of printers on Earth.

Of course, the shape is also different. He just focuses on convenience and practicality, and does not have too many designs in appearance.

As for the inside of the table, there are Mithril components and energy cores. For the convenience of overhaul and maintenance, Xia Duo did not package them. Anyway, they are for their own use, and they can be repaired at any time if they are broken.

Except for the mithril components and the energy core, the other materials of the printing machine are not related to the core function of the printing machine, so there is nothing to be particular about. Xia Duo chose the most common iron.

If it is not more convenient to shape metal, it is more cost-effective to use wood.

After closing the last buckle, Xia Duo used a little force in his hand to confirm that the whole is stable, and a laboratory version of the magic scroll printing machine is considered complete.

As for the link to the magic net, it has been linked after installing the Mithril components and the energy core.

……

Next, Xia Duo is ready to actually use it.

He first took out a stack of parchment paper from the portable space, and placed them in the six grooves on the printing table in turn, almost filling the grooves.

At present, automatic paper changing either involves mechanical construction, or requires additional spell design.The former Xia Duo is not good at, and the latter needs a lot of time to study.

It cannot be achieved in a short period of time, and the current printing machine has been able to greatly reduce the time consumption of the magic scroll production process. Adding an automatic paper changer also has a very limited improvement in efficiency.

After installing the "printing paper", Xia Duo began to add ink to the "ink cartridge". This time he was going to print a 3-ring fireball scroll, which required [Sand Crystal Graphite Water].

In addition to the "aventurite" in the name, this ink also contains a relatively small amount of ruby ​​powder. It sells for 1 gold coins in a small bottle, and one bottle can almost draw two fireball scrolls.

For the Tower of Time, of course, this kind of consumables can save money by purchasing materials and preparing them yourself, and when paying the members of the Tower of Time, it is also less than 200 bottles.

But anyway, this kind of ink is still very expensive, and Xia Duo poured 10 bottles into one grid of the long ink cartridge at a time, until it was almost full.

It can be seen that he is still full of confidence in the availability of this printing press.

Then Xia Duo took out something similar to a 3.5-inch floppy disk on the earth, and inserted it into a card slot on the side of the printing machine. If there is no such thing, only the person who starts the printing machine can control the printing content.

This thing has never appeared in [Projection Plane Arcane Empire]. The printing workers there are at least formal mages, and the printing machines and communication arrays are linked together to produce an effect similar to "cloud printing".

This is incomparable to Xia Duo. He does not have a large number of mage workers to serve him, and he does not have a communication array covering the whole country as an external data source. All he can think of is a physical "plug-in".

The core of the printing machine is [Transcription], this level 1 spell can print out any content provided by the caster, but the spell itself also has a certain degree of openness, turning "caster's custom input" into "entity plug-in input" There is no threshold.

The thing that looks like a floppy disk that Xia Duo took out is actually a mithril component inside the iron casing. When he inserted it into the printing machine, it was like conducting a spell book bridging experiment.

It's just that the bridging experiment is an equivalent replacement, and here, it just adds a part of the structure to the core Mithril components of the printing machine.

The function of adding this part of the structure is reflected in the effect of the spell, which is to directly print out the arcane geometric figure of [Fireball] on the paper.

At present, Xia Duo has prepared several external printing plug-ins for spells. If you want to change the printed content, just change it and adjust the corresponding ink cartridge.

It's not the most convenient method in theory, but in a short period of time, Xia Duo can only do so.

……

Everything was ready, Xia Duo started the printing machine, there was no noise that a printer on earth might make, it was just a sudden flash of magic, and the expected complexity appeared on the parchment on the six printing positions of the printing table. , Precision graphics.

"It's semi-automatic!" Xia Duo complained slightly.

This printing machine needs to be turned on once to print. Of course, it can also be designed for continuous printing, but this needs the function of automatic paper changing as a supporting feature. For the time being, there is no need for such a high-end fully automatic printing machine.

Just for this one, in the blink of an eye in Xia Duo, 6 [Quasi-Magic Scrolls] appeared.

Except for the final [Link Magic Web] machine that cannot be replaced, other pre-steps that originally required the caster to spend a lot of time were completed by the printing machine in an instant.

This is just a semi-automatic printing machine. If it is fully automatic, and even the machine can replace the caster to link the magic net to the magic scroll, the prospect is simply unimaginable.
