time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmhm... they will!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tim was really mind blown by the fact that such a thing could even exist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes, he felt like Landon wasn’t human.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No no no... scratch that!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of the time, he felt like Landon was a God in human skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more he read the notebook in his hand, the more fidgety he became.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your majesty, will we sell these goods out of Baymard in future?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes... these ones will be sold out, since they work on Batteries.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The concept of Batteries, wasn’t new to Tim and a lot of workers within his industry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only battery that existed in Baymard right now, was the one for heavy machines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These ones consisted of sulfuric acid solution, and several flat plates that acted as galvanic cells in series.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Granted when they made their first battery ever, it wasn’t as well done as those ones back on earth.... but it still got the job done either way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only problem was that those ones didn’t last as long as those ones back on earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they made their first battery, its outer box was made of metal... and some of the plates were done unevenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But once better tools and plastic came into the picture, Landon switched it up and modified several outer components once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All in all, these batteries were constantly improved upon monthly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For wrist watches, tiny ’coin’ or ’button’ sized batteries were ideal for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And for wall clocks and alarm clocks, the Batteries needed to be like the ordinary batteries made back on earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Landon was talking about the ’’A’, AA’, ’AAA’ battery types and so on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To make batteries, one needed special materials and chemicals that would aid in the transfer of electricity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There needed to be a cathode, anode, and a fluid or material that would aid in electrical flow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Landon was sure that the people outside Baymard, wouldn’t be able to come up with the exact components and chemical solutions required for battery production.... without guidance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So why should he be worried?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if they made the other components of the watches and put them together, the watche’s hands wouldn’t tick without a battery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Take for example Lithium batteries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already planned on extracting Lithium from ’Lithium Feldspar rocks’ underground the caves, and use them to make ordinary batteries as well as coin batteries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lithium was the core drive within these types of batteries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if people didn’t know how to extract it from ores and rocks, how were they suppose to make these batteries?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plus other places didn’t have plastic or rubber, to make the outer frames for wall clocks... as well as alarm clocks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So there was essentially nothing for him to worry about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Baymard officially opened up to the public in July, these items would be exported to various regions around Hertfilia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And your majesty, this photocopying machine is supposed to lessen the burden within the Printing Industry?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it does what you say it can do, then the workers would probably celebrate in your honor!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Was it that bad?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your majesty, you have no idea!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We have a massive waitlist from all the workplaces already.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, Landon could understand their joy as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To put it simply, when any workplace needed to make copies of any document, they would immediately place orders with the printing... do that their copies could made.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This industry handled school papers, reports, books, I.D cards, driving licenses, and other important documents around Baymard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So if the hospital needed 20 copies of a particular document, the workers within the printing department would have to get it done for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course the hospital would have to pay for these services as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And all these printing orders had put everyone around Baymard on a waiting list, which greatly slowed down development and productivity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hence Landon had wanted to make photocopying machines A.S.A.P.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Firstly, all industry and workplace documents should be photocopied within those particular workplaces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For security reasons, it wasn’t proper to have confidential documents leave those workplaces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And secondly, this would greatly improve productivity and efficiency around Baymard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone wouldn’t need to run up and down the place, as they could just make several copies of multiple documents within their offices or workplaces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the printing Press could finally focus on their numerous jobs, like printing books, I.D cards, labels on several company boxes, plastic bags, clothes and so on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plus having a photocopying machine will also be good for the Landport and banks in future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Any visitor or customer’s document that needed several copies, could be done within those establishments... rather than running back and forth, and keeping these people waiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now focusing on the machines themselves, the interior part consisted of 5 main components within them: a light bulb, a photosensitive drum, 2 rollers, a toner, and a conveyor belt for loading the paper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baymard already had conveyor belts... as they were previously manufactured at the start of October.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And of course light bulbs and rollers already existed as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So that just left Landon with the toner and the photosensitive drums to make, which weren’t hard to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway the machine worked like so:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When one places his\u002Fher document upside down and presses the start key, an intense beam of light (from the bulb).....flashes onto the document.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This light then gets reflected towards the photosensitive drum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now here’s where the magic really happens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This drum is electrostatically charged by a high voltage wire.. as well as coated with a photosensitive chemical (selenium).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Selenium is a semiconductor... that would mean that it would act as an insulator in dark areas, as well as conduct electricity when light falls on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bottom line, when the light gets reflected off the document..... it reaches the photo-conductive drum, and gets its ions displaced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As negative charges make an electrical shadow, the drum begins to rotate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And finally, this negatively charged shadow moves towards a positively charged toner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Negative and positive... you get the picture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both charges stick to each other, and an inked image of that document is formed within the charges.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then a new sheet of paper is feed into the hopper of the photocopying machine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hopper carries the paper on a conveyor belt upwards, and moves towards the drum and the toner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The charges drop onto the new sheet of paper, and the document is finally photocopied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the photocopied paper makes its way out of the machine, it will pass through 2 hot rollers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These rollers aid in fusing the toner particles onto the paper permanently, by inserted heat and pressure onto it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whole process involved light, reflection, conductivity and ions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well anyway, this machine will have an \"On’ and ’Off’ button on it.... and would work electrically, and steam powered (for those within buildings that don’t have electricity).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A photocopying machine doesn’t necessarily need the internet... it wasn’t a printer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, Landon had decided to add several other buttons at the corners of the photocopying machine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kind of like a keypad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they wanted to make 10 copies, they just had to tap ’1’ and ’0’ keys.. and then press ’Start’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well... with this, he decided to start teaching the workers a little bit about computer engineering as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Up next Landon Wanted to focus on Radios.\u003C\u002Fp>",1239,"2026-06-03T07:55:13.591Z","2026-06-03T07:55:19.557Z",1,"novelbin.me","1e8a5870acccb8e8ad11a5737b7408730b23451f42fad58b3c0faf21d2232789","i-m-the-king-of-technology-chapter-170","i-m-the-king-of-technology-chapter-168",1977,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-the-king-of-technology-cover.jpg"]
