 Chapter 343 343 What is fake cannot be true

"No, it can't be done!" An old dwarf took off the glasses on his nose, rubbed his sore eyes, shook his head and said regretfully: "I really have no choice."

"Look carefully! Look!" On the side, Cyric's director, a fat man, was sitting there, with an old man and a woman sitting next to him.

Three directors of the Cyric Consortium came at once, and the dwarf craftsmen also felt that this matter was unusual. So he carefully looked at what he had been looking at for a long time, and then he said that he couldn't do it.

Hearing the other party's request, the dwarf craftsman shook his head seriously again and explained: "Sir, I have been studying this thing for three days. Every day as long as I open my eyes, I am studying this thing!"

The old director frowned when he heard what the dwarf said; the female director next to him also played with her nails in frustration.

The old dwarf craftsman looked at the three people and continued: "To me, it is no longer a printed product, but a work of art! I really can't figure out how there is such a printing technology that can Print such...such beautiful work."

 “So...exaggerated?” The fat director looked unbelieving.

The dwarf pointed the red banknote towards the light of the gas lamp, and in the deliberately left blank space, he saw a clear photocopy of an ancient gold coin minted by the dwarf.

He sighed and praised: "Based on my knowledge, it should have gone through many processes and used at least two special pulps, so it appears like this... You can see it by facing the light. To the effect of gold coin shadow.”

The old craftsman pointed to some wooden barrels stacked in the corner of the wall, and said very tiredly: "Actually, I have experimented with this special pulp of knowledge 29 times. Unfortunately, with my level, there is no way to reversely restore this Plant something.”

 As a senior expert in the printing industry, he is not just a person who deserves his reputation. Many of the pulps he developed can be said to be the best paper materials of this era...

Unfortunately, recently, paper from Bunas has completely destroyed the market. Paper made with new technologies and new raw materials has crushed traditional papermaking.

The old dwarf knew that this was a new type of paper money, and he also knew that if this thing became popular, people who could make counterfeiters would definitely make a lot of money.

Even, counterfeiting can destroy this kind of banknotes and completely destroy the economy and finance of the area covered by the banknotes, leaving an entire region in ruins.

In fact, from a purely technical point of view, the old dwarf craftsman really wanted to challenge the imitation of this kind of banknotes, but the other party's technology was so advanced that he felt powerless.

Therefore, he could only say helplessly: "The other party is very confident, so they dare to use this thing instead of real gold coins. In fact, if you make fake gold coins, it may be easier than making this kind of paper money."

There was gold coin counterfeiting technology in this era, but it was very imperfect—as a metal currency, it was easily distinguishable if it was mixed with other metals.

Of course, the most common one is to fake the purity of gold coins, and it is indeed difficult to distinguish the authenticity from the fake. However, this kind of forgery requires a lot of furnaces and other equipment, and it can be easily traced.

At least, most of the time, countries will strictly investigate currency counterfeiting, but they will secretly make some adulterated gold coins themselves to pass them off as inferior and reap some benefits.

 It’s just that the scale will not be too large, because after all, reputation is also an asset. Once frequent fraud is discovered, it will have a negative impact on the national economy, which no one can afford.

 Hence, the spread of new banknotes in the area affected by the Datang Group has given the people of the Cyric Consortium some other bold ideas.

 “You keep talking!” The old man on the council narrowed his eyes and ordered.

"Its printing technology is also different from the traditional technology we use. We can't print such a beautiful pattern. It's simply impossible..." The dwarf craftsman stroked this exquisite banknote with his hand, as if touching a woman. skin.

Of course he didn’t know that this was the latest printing technology. Datang Group used electricity, a new energy source, to transform the printing process, making printing more precise and neat.

This is of course incomparable with traditional printing technology. The two sides are completely different in terms of printing accuracy, and they are simply incomparable.

While doing this, the dwarf turned over the note and pointed to the numerical code on it: "In addition, it also uses a very troublesome printing code... I can't understand the meaning, but this code is very long. Each one is different. "This is also a special anti-counterfeiting technology of Datang Group. It can easily trace the whereabouts of banknotes, count the frequency of circulation, monitor the approximate spread coverage of banknotes circulating in a certain area, etc.

For this era, these technologies are too advanced, even far beyond the cognitive level of these people, so they simply cannot understand the purpose of Datang Group's efforts to pile up technologies on banknotes.

 In their view, as long as one or two new technologies are adopted, counterfeiting can be fought, and there is no need to invest in so many new technologies at once to prevent counterfeiting.

I just heard the old dwarf craftsman continue: "This means that every time the other party prints a piece of paper money like this, they will change the coding arrangement. I can't think of why they would use this kind of coding in a cumbersome way, but there must be a meaning."

"In my opinion, this thing is almost the ultimate product of combining the most advanced technologies of this era. It's not that we can't imitate one link, but that we can't imitate all the links." He said while showing this picture from Banknotes from faraway places were pressed on the table.

Then, he pushed the banknotes towards the direction where the three directors were sitting, and made a gesture to return the banknotes to their original owners: "We can't reversely restore the paper pulp technology. I don't even understand how they made the paper change." So flexible and so durable.”

As he spoke, he pushed another banknote with a larger denomination on the side: "The printing coating technology is also more advanced than any technology we know, because it does not fade at all and will form a layer on the paper. It’s a kind of outer layer of protection, which is very...interesting.”

Before he finished speaking, he pushed another identical banknote to a parallel position without hesitation: "The cutting is also very careful. The weight of each banknote is exactly the same, the same size, and the same neat edges. Angle, this is easy to do, but mass production is not easy. "

"The photocopy of the gold coin inside the money is something that cannot be copied. Maybe it can be done, but I need to do more experiments. Maybe it will take one year, maybe two years... maybe ten years... before I can come up with something similar. "After finishing speaking, he picked up a bag of gold coins on his desk, opened the bag and looked at it.

Then, he tightened his pocket and pushed the bag of gold coins next to the banknotes: "You have to know, it's just similar, it's almost impossible to be exactly the same! So I must say, the person who thought of this method is really a genius."

"Coupled with the precision printing technology I just mentioned, frankly speaking, our current printing equipment does not have such precision at all. Even if we can barely print, it is just a joke." He shrugged helplessly: "I am spending this money. Can’t make any money…”

"Others don't need to look, just touch it, and you can easily tell the authenticity. Even a blind person can easily identify it." He said while shaking his head: "Not to mention the kind that I can't touch. When it comes to coding in the mind, if we make it different, the cost may be scary... But if we all make it the same, the possibility of being detected will skyrocket. "

“The most terrible thing is.” The old craftsman stood up and sighed: “When printing such paper money, you basically lose money. Printing a piece of 1 gold coin paper money probably costs 2 gold coins, so the gain outweighs the loss.”

The fat man cursed with an ugly face: "Damn it! Did this Datang Group even think of these things?"

"This money is yours!" The old man had no intention of taking back the gold coins and banknotes, and walked towards the door: "If you say they did it unintentionally, I don't believe it...these anti-counterfeiting technologies are integrated into a small piece of paper On the film, it is obvious that the other party is very aware of the importance of anti-counterfeiting.”

 The woman also looked helpless: "It seems we still have to think of other ways."

“You said, if we use the name of Datang Group to distribute low-quality counterfeit products in some areas, will it cause trouble for them?” The fat man had an idea.

The old man sneered: "Don't even think about it, we are causing trouble for ourselves. If this thing is promoted anywhere, it will cause big economic and trade troubles. Local officials, including the nobles and kings of the kingdom, will all We have a lot of opinions.”

“Besides, distributing this kind of thing in these areas we control, isn’t it destroying the economy of our own base?” The woman also thought the fat man was crazy.

"Then let's make a batch and transport it to Datang Group's control area...and then distribute it for free?" The fat man was still a little unwilling to give up.

“I spent money to print out a bunch of waste paper, and then sent it to others to distribute for free? Do you think this joke is funny? Or do you think I am just a fool?” The old man snorted disdainfully.

The fat man was still unwilling to give up: "More, more or less, can you deceive some people and cause confusion to them?"

The old director asked angrily: "Did you hear that just now? For 2 gold coins, I can probably print out a counterfeit coin of 1 gold coin! Even if the Datang Group collected all the counterfeit coins at the original price, I would go bankrupt first. That! Damn it...are they not afraid of losing money when they print money like this?
