?Chapter 62: Chapter 62 Two Formulas_1 Chapter 62: Chapter 62 Two Formulas_1 Upon reaching the upper floor, Luo Jingrui got straight to the point, “Ninth Sister, the significance of movable-type printing is tremendous. I had written a secret letter and sent a trusted aide to deliver it to the frontier for Xuan Mo, but I didn’t expect Ziyu’s incident to bring Xuan Mo rushing back. I presume he hasn’t seen the secret letter, so it’s just as well that you speak directly with him about it.”
Long Xuanmo nodded, indicating that he indeed hadn’t received the secret letter.
“What is this movable-type printing?” Nangong Lingfei asked with a face full of curiosity, while Long Xuanmo and the others looked at Yang Mengchen.
Yang Mengchen naturally knew the importance of the matter, but she hadn’t expected that Big Brother Luo had all along been waiting for news from Long Xuanmo and hadn’t replied to her.
“Movable-type printing is a printing method,” Yang Mengchen explained slowly, “First, use clay to make individual molds of uniform size, with each mold having a reversed character engraved on one side, and the raised part of the character strokes being about the thickness of the edge of a coin. Harden them with fire to create individual movable clay types;
select the type according to the manuscript and arrange them in a typesetting tray, apply ink and print. After printing, disassemble the types and keep them for future reuse;
prepare multiple pieces for frequently used characters to use within the same edition if needed. If there is an encounter with a rare character that was not prepared in advance, it can be made on demand. Organize the types into wooden compartments and label them with paper for easy selection;
With this, there’s no need to hand-copy books anymore, and it saves time and effort while producing regulated uniform books, hence improving the situation of books being expensive.”
