Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Meanwhile, this satellite only needs solar energy to operate, and its normal lifespan is a full fifty years, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

Wei Wu had no idea where these technologically advanced satellites, far surpassing those of later generations, came from; it was simply unscientific.

It should be noted that even the most advanced reconnaissance satellites of the United States, the Keyhole HK-12 series, are considered to have a resolution better than 0.1 meters.

At most, it can only detect objects the size of a basketball on the ground and clearly identify whether a car is a sedan or an SUV.

However, even with such a satellite, it is impossible to clearly see a car's license plate number or a person's face from the sky.

But the one the system produced could clearly see not only a human face, but even the headline of a newspaper on the ground.

Wei Wu couldn't figure out the origin of the satellite, but he was too lazy to think about the problems he couldn't understand, since the thing was already in space anyway.

It was precisely because of the existence of this satellite that the Ming Dynasty was able to easily observe all the locations it wanted to see.

If an unidentified vessel appears in one's own waters, it will be captured immediately; this is the principle of actual control.

In addition, the existence of this satellite also enables the Ming Dynasty to achieve ultra-long-distance communication.

For the Ming Dynasty today, managing such a vast territory is still too difficult, but with satellites, things will be different.

The ability to communicate in a timely manner and monitor any area in real time undoubtedly reduces the difficulty of managing the territory.

No matter how far away they are, if a serious problem occurs, the capital city can receive the news immediately and make decisions accordingly.

If anyone thought that the emperor was far away and committed acts of disloyalty, the Ming Dynasty could immediately send troops by rail to suppress them.

This is the powerful control brought about by satellite technology, which is ahead of its time.

It was precisely because of this that the Ming Dynasty was able to maintain perfect control over the north, south, and west directions for the next few decades.

The vast territory also brings boundless benefits, such as the lands in Southeast Asia.

Because of the warm and rainy tropical monsoon climate, most areas can achieve three harvests of rice a year.

This area also became the most important grain-producing region of the Ming Dynasty, producing enough grain to cover the needs of the people and even have some left over.

At the same time, the area is rich in various mineral resources, but the imperial court did not take any action against them.

Instead, on Wei Wu's advice, they chose to trade with the princes who had settled overseas and obtain mineral resources from them.

Firstly, it can help them develop, and secondly, it can preserve local resources as much as possible, leaving some blessings for future generations.

Time flies and years pass quickly.

As the Ming Dynasty grew stronger day by day, time quietly slipped away year after year.

Decades have passed in the blink of an eye, and the current emperor is no longer Zhu Biao, but Zhu Xiong Ying, the good grandson of that time.

However, under Zhu Biao's tutelage and Fu Qiu's influence, Zhu Xiong Ying still respected Wei Wu as much as he had when he was a child.

The once spirited and ambitious Wei Wu, who once commanded the nation in the Fengxian Hall, is now an old man in his twilight years.

Over the decades, Wei Wu devoted himself to the Ming Dynasty, and only after the Ming Dynasty was fully on the right track did he seek instructions from Zhu Biao.

Apart from still controlling the direction of the Academy of Sciences, he no longer participates in the various decisions of the imperial court, withdrawing from worldly affairs.

Of course, although he was not in the imperial court, his influence was undeniable; he could even be considered a living saint.

Over these decades, science has created countless miracles, bringing about earth-shattering changes to the entire Ming Dynasty.

Today, the science spread by Cao Cao has become a prominent field of study, and even his students have become world-renowned scientific experts.
