Chapter 165 Typewriter

White and slender fingers landed on the metal keys, and the crisp mechanical sound of keys falling rang on the second floor.

Standing in the office, Windsor was surprised by the constant mechanical noises coming from her ears.

Next to her, Allen was operating a mechanical typewriter made in a blacksmith shop. Every time a finger was pressed, the typewriter would automatically leave black marks on the white paper through complex mechanical movements.

The typewriter was relatively large, more than [-] centimeters long and wide, with a bulky body and a pure metal exterior. There were more than [-] basic keys and other keys on the metal keyboard. There were many sophisticated small components hidden inside the machine.

In order to miniaturize the typewriter, Abel spent a lot of effort without success. Only by following Allen's design can he create a typewriter that is closely connected.

Besides these two, there were other blacksmiths and some leisurely officials in the room.

They took a long, deep breath and watched the way the typewriter was being used.

"Master Allen, can you give me a try?"

After listening to the sound of typing for half an hour, Xiao Xiaowo had already been attracted by the magical charm of the typewriter.

By pressing specific letters with your own hands, you can type the common characters of the Lion Heart Kingdom, and the peak code word speed is as high as four characters per second.

As long as the ten fingers are flicked, the hand speed can reach 1 characters in one minute, and 240 characters in one hour, which can be called super fast.

This is several times faster than simple handwriting, and Windsor is looking forward to having such a table of items on his desk.

"Okay, but have you memorized the text structure of each key?" Allen put down his slightly sour hands and let out a soft breath.

After his optimized design, this typewriter uses the best existing technology to create a typewriter with smooth key response and clear typing, and the typed text is the common character of the Lion Heart Kingdom.

Their common characters are ideograms, which have a basic structure of oblique hooks and folds, so it took a lot of time to make corresponding fonts.

The keystrokes of the typewriter invented by Allen refer to the Wubi typing method, and the root of each key is redefined by Allen.

The typewriter accurately determines the key letter of each character through the joint mechanical movement of multiple keys, and each time a character is typed, a space needs to be pressed to determine a character.

Why is it so troublesome to set up? Because this thing is not a computer, you can’t see the word selection box of the input method, and it’s impossible to press 1, 2, and 3 with your eyes closed, so you need to type a fixed letter combination for each character to avoid typos.

In addition, when you type a wrong word, you can press the backspace key, and the typewriter will paint a small black grid to cover up the wrong word, and then type again.

It can be said that this thing has a certain threshold, requiring users to keep in mind the root of each key and spelling rules.

"Hmm, remember."

Windsor had memorized the root table all morning, and she had already memorized it fluently, and even recited it backwards.

Spelling with radicals is also completely fine. Windsor rehearsed on paper, writing more than 300 lines of text, and the letters that need to be typed behind each text.

Allen left his seat, and the other onlookers were moved and wanted to sit on their seats and try a typewriter, but they were not smart enough, so let the deputy mayor try first.

"This typewriter was invented, and it looks very difficult to use. I didn't expect Master Alan to be so proficient in using it. I am convinced." The big blacksmith was very convinced.

As a typewriter maker, Abel knew that the small typewriter contained thousands of key combinations. If he wanted to memorize so many combinations, he would not be able to memorize them for more than a month.

Only a big cow like Allen can get the typewriter and start it right away.

Windsor held down the medium-length black skirt, and put her little butt on the office chair that Alan had sat on. Behind her, the cat's tail suddenly poked its head out, showing a question mark.

Windsor was very nervous, rubbed his hands together, replaced it with a clean white paper, and then put his hands on the typewriter.

"IJL space, Wen, AIIT space, Sha..." Windsor moved slowly, murmuring the key sequence while staring at the white paper.

Every time a key is pressed, the shaft of the typewriter will sound accordingly, and as the space bar falls, the typewriter will instantly type a Chinese character of Lion Heart, and then the spring structure will automatically bounce back the typewriter.

"Wow, Lord Windsor has also succeeded."

"It's amazing, as long as you memorize the root table, you can use it?"

"No, you still need to understand the spelling rules." Allen rolled his eyes.

The cat-eared orcs scratched their heads and made a hey sound, "I work hard, I work hard."

Click, click, Windsor's typing is very slow, but it is better than stability. Allen believes that Windsor has mastered the typing method, and then he can use the typewriter to type with more practice.

"Abel, ask the blacksmith to build a few more."

"Ahem, Mr. Allen, just to make this typewriter, I took a lot of manpower. Now this thing is only used by you. Are you sure you want to continue to stop the forging task of certain items?" Abel coughed falsely.

To be honest, it is very troublesome to manufacture this kind of precision object. Abel felt that it was enough to make it once, and it would be a waste of manpower to make it again.

You must know that Tomorrow Town is now in an important development period. Before the old king's army is overwhelmed, the more weapons the better.

Besides, the design drawing of the rifling machine tool has been sent to the blacksmith shop, and Abel is planning to build a new machine tool after finishing the typewriter, so he has no intention of making a thankless typewriter.

"Well, you're right, there's not much demand for this stuff right now, let's make up for the missing tasks first."

Allen also remembered that some of the blacksmith's staff were transferred during this period, so that their work at hand was temporarily suspended and the progress was interrupted.

It is not yet time to develop other miscellaneous types. Only by raising the armed forces can the development of Tomorrow Town be guaranteed. Allen waved his hand and asked Abel to go back to making rifled machine tools.

The word rifle is higher-end than smoothbore.

If the musket has a rifle, the bullet will exit the chamber in a spiral rotation, which is more accurate and has a longer range.

The same is true for cannons. If there is rifled technology, the range will be longer and more accurate. At that time, the war will gradually evolve into a war where the enemy is invisible but the enemy has been covered by artillery.

Windsor watched Abel go back, and looked at the typewriter reluctantly, wondering when she would have such a strange typing item.

"Don't worry, the production capacity of the territory will increase in the future, and you will also have a typewriter that belongs to you." Seeing Windsor's discouraged expression, Allen touched Windsor's head unconsciously. The two cat ears are very soft and fluffy of.

　Cough, I use the Wubi input method.

　　In addition, I made up the Wubi typewriter, so there is no need to check the information.
