In the Song Dynasty, Bi Sheng spent eight years developing a movable type printing technology, which was cheaper than engraving. Why don't you use that?"

Bao Sanshan laughed as soon as he heard this, knowing that his boss was not knowledgeable, so he explained: "I don't know what I know. The clay used for movable type printing is extremely difficult to engrave, and it is easy to crack after being exposed to fire. The typesetting

At that time, it was very troublesome to dismantle and assemble the letter blocks, and the paving was often uneven. I even heard that some bookstores used copper to make them, but the cost was not as good as engraving, so the palace never introduced it."

"That's it," Xian Ruxing nodded clearly. She didn't know there was such a thing.

The people above didn't understand, but it was actually good for the people below. At the very least, they could use their professional knowledge to fool them into trouble. Bao Sanshan put away his excitement and remained respectful, waiting for Xian Ruxing to speak.

Xian Ruxing looked at the engraving, touched his chin, and finally said: "No, I looked at it when you were working before, and it's still too slow, and there are a lot of people working, so I feel like you have to use my method."

Everyone was puzzled, so Xian Ruxing simply asked his men to carry out the prepared machine.

It was a square thing as high as a man's waist. There was a handle on the side, and I didn't know what it was for.

"In the future, you can first attach the wax paper to the iron plate to engrave characters, then put it on the mimeograph machine like this, apply ink on the roller, push and pull it. The process must be done at a constant speed, otherwise it will be easy to apply unevenly. You see

This one I have is broken." Xian Ruxing took out the paper underneath and wiped his dark hands. The oil mark was not good at all. If he didn't use the engine and operated by hand, it would easily get stained everywhere.

The eunuch craftsmen were stunned. They watched each other as if they were doing magic tricks. She printed a copy in a moment, and she was the only one who operated the whole process. How much manpower would be saved in this process? Doesn't it mean that she doesn't know how to print?

In response to this, Xian Ruxing said helplessly that she really didn't understand printing and had not studied in depth whether it was ancient movable type engraving or modern scanning and printing. This mimeograph machine was considered a product of the times. It was displayed there when the company organized a visit to the old revolutionary base.

Let go of one. It is said that many units and schools used this device in the 1990s.

To be honest, in Xian Ruxing's opinion, this thing is actually not very convenient. It would take at least half a day to print a set of books. There is no generator and just relying on hand cranking. Shaking it in a circle to print one page is very tiring. But compared with the current woodblock printing

, it is already considered a dimensionality reduction blow.

"Only two units of this machine have been made so far, but it doesn't matter. The craftsmen are already working overtime. Before it is officially put into production, let's do a special training on how to operate it."
