The prince does not fight for the heir

Chapter 24 The Great Way to Jane
In fact, this awl is just like the awl that later generations used to dismantle and modify clothes. When Fu Xuechen was young, he saw his grandmother used it, but the whole awl body was too slender. It is necessary to cut off the cone like a pencil on the head to cover the tip of the awl.

"Yes, yes! That's great!" Fu Xuechen repeatedly praised Mr. Liu, in exchange for Mr. Liu's heartwarming smile.

The pen, ink and paper are all settled, so the rest is not difficult. It is nothing more than a shallow wooden box for paper, and a concave box with wax paper on the top, so that the roller dipped in ink can roll over the wax paper. This kind of work, All can be handed over to the carpenter who came to make it.

After finishing all the orders, Yang Qian saw that Fu Xuechen had no more requests, so he invited the two of them to drink tea in the public room outside and wait.

But Fu Xuechen didn't want to go. In just a short moment, the carpenter actually made a wooden roller of uniform thickness and a short handle. Drill holes, ready to be used to inlay metal bearings.

Seeing his skillful movements and fast speed, Fu Xuechen couldn't bear to look away. He just wanted to watch him make the ink roller in his mind. Even Yun Zuo was curious and wanted to see the finished product sooner, so he rejected Yang Qian's offer. Invite, just stand by and watch with Fu Xuechen.

Yang Qian is actually just verbal etiquette. He has been in the Ministry of Industry all his life, and people who run between the workshops of the Ministry of Industry, how could he dislike the various weird atmospheres in the workshop and the busy craftsmen? Since the two children refuse to drink tea, then He was naturally happy to accompany him.

After a while, the little grandson who went to get the wax paper, and the craftsman who went to get the square smooth copper plate all returned to the printing workshop one after another.

The copper plate has been polished and smooth, just wait for another layer of potion to become a bright copper mirror. Now without the process of potion, there is only smoothness. It is not enough to be a mirror, it can only show a blur Outline.

In fact, the hardness of the copper plate is not strong enough. Using a stylus to scratch the wax paper on it, it is estimated that it will not be used many times, and many fine marks will be left. It is not as good as the steel plate, which can be used for a long time without leaving marks. Fortunately, Fu Xuechen only intends to use it temporarily. , You can think of another way to replace it with iron plate or steel plate in the future.

The actual appearance of the wax paper is a little different from what Fu Xuechen imagined, it seems to be thicker, but when I tried to scratch it with my nails, the effect was the same. There is a white scratch, which is the underlying paper.

Whether it will work or not, you still have to try it to know, Fu Xuechen took advantage of the gap between the stylus and the roller, and asked the little grandson to cut the wax paper into A3 size first, and then let Master Liu bring the class ruler— —It is the set square and ruler these days, drawing squares and grids on the copper plate.

Originally, these boxes and grids should be drawn on stencil paper, but unfortunately the stencil paper has already been made. Without this process, we can only make up on the copper plate, but the stencil paper is not transparent enough. Written in the grid, it is a little troublesome to look at.

After a while, the grid on the copper plate was drawn, and the wax paper was cut into a thick stack of A3 size. The carpenter polished the wooden rollers and handles smooth, and was following Fu Xuechen's instructions to make The wooden pole of the stylus seems to be ready soon.

As for the awl that replaces the stylus core, it has been polished to be as round as the tip of a ballpoint pen. After the stylus is finished, the next step is to wrap the wooden roller with a sheath and make smooth cowhide, and to install the wooden roller. The metal frame is the last thing to make the wooden frame of the wooden box.

almost done!Fu Xuechen was very excited. He took the finished copper plate with his own hands, took another piece of wax paper, and carefully covered the wax paper evenly on the copper plate.

Yang Qian looked at all this, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper, he vaguely thought of something, but felt unable to grasp his train of thought.

Yun Zuo leaned close to Fu Xuechen's ear curiously and asked in a low voice, "What are you making?"

Fu Xuechen reached out and rubbed his itchy ears, then turned his head and put his head close to Yunzuo's ears, and replied in a low voice, breathing hot air, "I'm building a printing machine!"

printing press? !Yoon Zuo's eyes widened in shock, and he turned his head abruptly, almost nose-to-nose with Fu Xuechen, and many records about Mohist institutions flashed through his mind. , Will you print it yourself after you make it?

Seeing his exaggerated expression, Fu Xuechen rolled her eyes unconsciously. What is this guy thinking?It was like seeing a ghost.

After the stylus was finished, Fu Xuechen took over the newly baked stylus. She felt that the shaft was too thick and too straight. It was comfortable to hold a pen without the slight arc of later generations, but the effect was not great. She found a table with great interest, and immediately He took out the story book from his arms, and began to draw with a stylus pen on the prepared wax paper against the text on the first page of the story book.

At the beginning, she was not used to it, and her strength was a bit light. Fortunately, in her previous life, she used a ballpoint pen to sign a lot of documents and receipts that needed to be copied, and she quickly mastered the correct strength. The words were neatly copied one by one.

This is the first time she has written with a pen in the posture of holding a pen after time travelling, and she feels very happy. In addition, in her entire study career, the handwriting with a pen has been praised by many teachers and classmates for its beauty and neatness. It's even happier to be able to show it off.

Yoon Zuo followed her closely, seeing that her hand was completely different from calligraphy with a brush, and the handwriting was clearly beautiful with iron hooks and silver strokes but didn't feel stiff, and his eyes were almost straight. I didn't expect that there was no need for a carving knife And engraving board, with wax paper and stylus alone, you can write this line of characters that is twice smaller than engraving characters, but equally neat and beautiful as engraving characters.

"You carved words on wax paper...is this made of wax paper?" Yoon Zuo looked at it for a long time, both surprised and puzzled: "But the characters on the carving block are all reversed. Fa, is it engraved wrong?"

Fu Xuechen carefully wrote an Arabic numeral "1" on the lower right corner of the wax paper that filled the page, marking the page number, and said with a complacent smile, "It's not wrong! You can see how I do it later, and you'll know! "

After waiting for a while, the carpenter finally finished the roller, and the wooden box and supporting wooden frame were also completed.

Fu Xuechen was overjoyed, and asked his little grandson to put the cut white paper in the wooden box, and then fixed the engraved wax paper on the bottom of the wooden frame. Finally, he pressed the whole wooden frame tightly against the white paper and put it on the wooden box. in a wooden box.

I have to praise, the craftsmanship of the carpenter is really great!It is worthy of being a craftsman who belongs to the national department. The size, appearance and touch of various finished products are all just right, and it is really comfortable to use.

If you want to pursue perfection, these wooden products should also be painted, but Fu Xuechen can't wait. After the white paper and wax paper are installed, he will immediately ask the little grandson to loosen the ink and use the roller in his hand to spread it evenly. Roll it hard on the wax paper in the wooden frame, and roll it back and forth.

Finally, when the wooden frame was lifted carefully, words were neatly printed on the top sheet of white paper inside the wooden box, exactly the same as the words engraved on wax paper!
Fu Xuechen checked it and found that there was no defect, so he took away the successfully printed white paper with satisfaction, covered the wooden frame, and continued to wave the ink roller to print the next white paper. This process is very convenient and takes only a few seconds. It can be printed well, and it is very decompressive, making people unable to stop playing.

What she didn't realize was that all the people watching all this behind her were all stunned!

Yoon Zuo was fine, with a dazed look on his face: "So that's the case! No wonder you don't need to engrave the words backwards, I understand!"

All the craftsmen were stunned and dumbfounded, and there was probably only a blank in their minds.

Yang Qian seemed to have been hit hard on the head with a sap. He was so dumbfounded that his body swayed a little, and he muttered incoherently: "It's like this?! It's possible to do this? How is this possible?! But...but this is really possible! Printing, can it be so simple?! No engraving, no movable type, no need to learn reverse engraving... just a piece of wax paper, a stylus..."

"My God! My God! Is this the Greatest Way to Jane? This is the Greatest Way to Jane!" Yang Qian's voice gradually increased, and finally he almost shouted. His face was flushed with excitement, and he raised his arms high. As if to thank God.

At this moment, Fu Xuechen looked back at him with surprised eyes. In his eyes, from the annoying bastard at the beginning, he gradually became mischievous and teachable, and finally turned into a cute , A once-in-a-thousand-year genius boy!

Fu Xuechen was stunned by Yang Qian's crazy reaction for a moment, and then gradually realized that it seemed, seemed, probably that the simple and crude printing equipment he made temporarily had more influence on this era than his own. imagine?

Seeing Yang Qian's frantic face, as if he was about to pounce, Fu Xuechen vigilantly hugged the wooden box, ink, stylus and wax paper in his arms, hid behind Yoon Zuo, and declared: "Master Yang, Thank you for your cooperation today, it's getting late, we have to go back, come back tomorrow! We will take away these immature and crude little things first, haha!"

Yoon Zuo looked back and saw her urging eyes, he was stunned and understood: "Yes! It's late, I'm afraid my father will blame me, so we will leave first!"

The two cooperated tacitly with Yang Qian, and immediately walked out in a hurry.

"Ah! Wait! Wait!"

Yang Qian hurriedly wanted to keep him, but the old guy with old arms and old legs who was unresponsive couldn't be faster than two teenagers. When he chased him out of the workshop, Yun Zuo and Fu Xuechen had already mounted their horses, and their things had been handed over to several followers. All of them left the workshop in a blink of an eye.
