"How much can you do?" Shang Wen said.
"If countries can do such a thing, I don't think I will object." Shang Wen said.
"Is this explained to other countries?" Meng Yi asked.
"En." Shangwen nodded.
"Explain that we can solve these things without any strategy," Shang Wen said.
"This matter?" Meng Yi asked Shang Wen.
"Tell them. Tell us what we think," Shang Wen said.
"Try to promote this matter." Shang Wen said.
"En. Can you tell the king about this?" Meng Yi looked at Shang Wen and said.
"Let's do it together. Tell the king about this matter, and at the same time, tell Li Mu, as well as South Korea and other countries, try to get in touch." Shang Wen said.
"What if all countries oppose it?" Meng Yi asked with some worries.
"Against?" Shangwen asked.
"It would be best if they can object. It means that they still have some ability, but why should they object. Can their finances be supported?" Shangwen asked.
"Qin must do this matter. It must be done well," Shang Wen said.
"It's just that I'm worried that they will be detrimental to Qin." Meng Yi said.
"En. You can publish this matter in the newspaper and publicize it." Shangwen said.
"With military spending cut, we spend a fortune on children in other countries. General Wang Jian will kill us when we hear the news." Meng Yi opened the car door and got down and said.
"Hehe." Shangwen laughed.If you can do this well, Shangwen thinks it is more meaningful than anything else. m
1731 Complex typewriter
"Prime Minister, Deputy Prime Minister, you are here." The assistant in Shang Wen's office said anxiously as he opened the car door for Shang Wen.
"What happened?" Shang Wen asked puzzled.
"The prime minister is like this. There is a strange person who wants to see you. He said that there is an important invention. But, how should I put it, this invention must be made by you." The assistant said to Shang Wen.
"Oh." Shang Wen looked at Meng Yi.
"There is such a thing." Meng Yi looked at Shang Wen and said.
"Okay. Let's go and have a look." Shang Wen looked at Meng Yi and said.
"Go. Go and have a look." Shangwen walked in front curiously.
"Prime Minister." Shang Wen saw a thin voice just as he entered the door.The man looked to be in his early twenties, and the clothes he wore were a bit shabby.But still clean.The whole body looks very thin, but the hands are very flexible.
"Prime Minister. The little Bai Lei has met the Prime Minister." Bai Lei was about to salute Shang Wen as he spoke.
"Okay. Don't do those useless things, I don't have time to spend on so many etiquettes. Tell me what you want from me." Shang Wen said.
"En. Prime Minister. That's it. I invented a typewriter, but the result is not ideal." Bai Lei said.
"Typewriter?" Shangwen asked at this time.
"Yes. Typewriter." Bai Lei said.
"It's just that it's not very good. There are still many words that I can't type." Bai Lei said.
"Is there a prototype? Can I take a look?" Shangwen asked continuously.
"Yes. Yes. Yes, I brought it." Bai Lei said anxiously.
As he said that, Bai Lei took the typewriter out of a big iron box. He was very interested in the typewriter and wanted to invent it for a while, but the result was very bad. At this time, the font used was Qin's Xiaozhuan.Although Xiaozhuan has a certain difference from the later Chinese characters, it can still be seen clearly after a little identification.But at this time, the fonts were far from being shaped like the latter fonts. There were gestures, but they were not necessarily standardized. These difficult situations directly led to the invention of the typewriter, which was very difficult.Shang Wen also thought about it, but finally gave up.Did not expect to meet here.
"Great. With this typewriter, our office in Qin State will be much more formal." Shang Wen said with a smile.At this time, with the emergence of a large number of commercial companies in the Qin State, a large number of copied documents also required manual work, so women successfully entered the office, because only women are capable of these documents, and capable women can do this job.Although there are printing machines for the documents of Qin State, some documents still need to be copied by people.Although carbon paper is also available, official documents are still made by hand, which is very inconvenient.Naofumi thought about using a laser, but lacked rubber, or a lot of cheap plastic for a laser copier.But this time it still doesn't work.Because many things are still lacking.So ahead of its time.Naofumi decided to take a big step back and that was to be able to use a typewriter.The emergence of the typewriter can make the office more formal.At least in the official release of some documents no longer use handwritten.Instead, mechanical printing is used.
"The principle of the printer is very simple. Someone has appeared before, but the key is the font. You know, the fonts we use are very complicated and not easy to split." Shang Wen said the key point.The key to the typewriter is the splitting of the font.Chinese characters are an ancient text.His sources are very extensive.Therefore, it is very complicated, and the Chinese characters at this time have not yet formed.This meant that it would be difficult for the typewriter to come out.
"I follow a certain sequence of strokes, and I group them up a lot. But in the end, my typewriter can barely type out [-] characters. There are also [-] keys." Bai Lei said.The structure of Bai Lei's typewriter is similar to that of later generations.Inks, gears, feeders and more.However, there are simply too many keys.There are also a lot of hinges for typing.Therefore, the volume of the whole typewriter is very large.Fully occupied half of the tea table.
"It's too big. It's still inconvenient." Shangwen looked at the typewriter and frowned.
"It would be better if it could be lighter." Shang Wen said at this time.
"I tried it. No way, some of the fonts we use are too irregular. I have no choice. I have thought of many ways." Bai Lei said anxiously.
"But it's useless, there's no way to get there." Bai Lei shook his head and said.Bai Lei saw that the market for typewriters was very broad.It is so widespread that this is a market that no one cares about.It's just that someone else saw it.However, the complex writing system makes many people unable to retreat from the market.
Shangwen also thought about using pinyin to solve this problem.However, Shang Wen didn't know how to solve this problem.In addition, there will be substantial revisions to this system.Shang Wen still has a lot of things to do, it is impossible to waste on this matter.So, Shang Wen didn't care about these.
"I've thought about it for a long time. There's really no other way. Nine hundred words is my best effort." Bai Lei said a little discouraged.
"I thought a lot, and finally decided to change the way of thinking and transform our system of using words." Bai Lei continued.
"After I said this idea, many people thought I was crazy." Bai Lei said.
"I, I have no choice. I have put a lot of effort into this typewriter. Therefore, I want to ask the prime minister. You, the prime minister, can solve this problem. We all know that you have a solution, and you have many invention patents. In this way You have tried the idea." Bai Lei said.
"En." Shangwen nodded.
"Reform our writing." Shangwen said at this time.
"Yes, transform our writing, only in this way can we make a typewriter." Bai Lei said excitedly.
"Otherwise, it would be difficult for us to make such an action." Bai Lei said anxiously.
"En." Shangwen nodded.
"Shangwen has also thought about reforming characters, but characters are a carrier of civilization. Shangwen knows that it is really difficult to reform. But if you don't reform, you can't go on. I'm afraid Bai Lei has made some progress on this issue. After a long time of experimentation, I finally had to seek such a way of thinking, plus there is no certain pattern in the text to find. Finally, I had to give up. Shang Wen walked around thinking about these problems.
The appearance of the typewriter is actually the prototype of a computer.The reason why Naofumi wanted to solve the problem of the typewriter.At the beginning, I wanted to have a typewriter, in fact, it was to prepare for the computer later.But the first problem encountered is difficult to solve.Shangwen had no choice but to give up at last.But now the question has come up again.Chinese characters are different from English letters in Europe and America.However, it can be expressed through English letters, for example, pinyin is one.Just, such a big thing.Do you really want to do it?Shangwen still has a lot of worries in his heart.
Shangwen looked at Bai Lei.Then he looked at Meng Yi.Then shook his head, and walked back and forth.
"Prime Minister." Bai Lei looked at Shang Wen anxiously.
"Don't worry. Let him think about it." Meng Yi said.
If you really want to change it, the impact will be very big.Not only the Qin State, but also other countries. At present, the characters of various countries generally accept Qin's Xiaozhuan.It is not because the Qin State unified weights and measures.It was because of Qin's newspaper circulation that promoted this matter.However, the effect of the typewriter is not seen if it is promoted at this time.It is necessary to simplify the writing of Qin State.Will the king of Qin agree? Then, can the countries adapt to the sudden change of Qin.
Shang Wen shook his head again, this is an unknown.It may be better if this matter is explained later, but for now.However, the keyboard of a typewriter is a basis for future computer inventions, and there is no keyboard for typing.How does the following symbol appear?Is it time to fix this problem?no.This matter cannot be delayed until then, otherwise the whole history will be postponed.
