Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Their movement also represents the official beginning of the steam-powered era in the Ming Dynasty.

“Really, really, we did it, it really moved, it, it really moved!!”

"The steam engine, such a miraculous steam engine, was built by us, it was built by us!"

"Leave your name in history! Our Academy of Science and Technology is destined to be remembered in history!"

Looking at the steam engine in operation, all the craftsmen around could hardly contain their excitement.

Many of them had tears in their eyes, as if they had seen their own children being born.

Among all the people present, Wei Wu was probably the only one who remained relatively calm.

Although he was also very happy that the steam engine was built under his guidance.

But he was a man of the later generations after all, and had seen too many large machines. The steam engine could only be considered a beginning.

What really concerned him was that the emergence of the steam engine meant that industrial capacity would undergo earth-shaking changes.

It was because of the steam engine that Europe started the first industrial revolution.

Today, the Ming Dynasty has started the industrial revolution one step ahead. Now it is one step ahead, and in the future it will be one step ahead every time!

In order to verify whether the steam engine had any defects, Wei Wu did not allow anyone to shut it down for the next few hours.

Instead, they sent people to add coal to the boiler several times to keep the steam engine running.

Normally, the Ming Dynasty craftsmen had no industrial foundation, and it was their first time making it.

If nothing unexpected happens, various problems will arise.

However, what’s interesting is that with Wei Wu’s persistence, the steam engine continued to run until dark without any malfunction.

It was clearly the first steam engine, yet it was so perfect. Wei Wu was a little confused.

It was not until he asked Song Zhong about it that he came up with a more likely guess.

The first is the micrometer, which was provided by Wei Wu as a calibration tool.

When craftsmen make accessories, they polish every small part carefully and meticulously.

Secondly, once you have the drawings and know the materials, produce them strictly according to the requirements of the drawings.

Even the materials are refined and no defects are allowed.

In this way, the miracle of perfect production on the first try was finally achieved.

Until it was completely dark, the steam engine that represented the Industrial Revolution finally stopped working.

However, no one, whether Wei Wu or the craftsmen, wanted to leave.

Led by Wei Wu, everyone gathered around the steam engine, carefully observing and recording the details after its operation.

After recording all the problems found, Wei Wu led everyone back to the class.

Looking at the eyes of those who were eager for knowledge, Wei Wu cleared his throat and said:

"First of all, I would like to congratulate you all. Thanks to your efforts, the Ming Dynasty will usher in a brand new era, the era of steam power."

"And you are the initiators and founders of this era. You are destined to leave your names in history and become the people that future generations will look up to!"

"Secondly, I said at the beginning that as long as the steam engine is manufactured, all participants will receive rewards!"

Having said that, Wei Wu was about to announce the reward, but Wu Qiang from the construction team stood up.

"Mr. Vice President, if this is a reward, you can't forget our construction team!"

Seeing the expression on Wu Qiang's face, Wei Wu's eyes lit up.

Could there be another surprise today?

Regarding rewards, Wei Wu had given them all homework before.

The construction group is responsible for mixing cement, the firearms group is responsible for optimizing gunpowder, and the carpenters and blacksmiths are responsible for building steam engines.

Now that the steam engine has been tested perfectly, the construction team also has good news.

Looking at Wu Qiang's somewhat smug expression, Wei Wu also laughed.

"Alright, Wu Qiang, did you manage to figure out the cement mix ratio without anyone noticing?"
