Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

If it were a ship from Europe, there would be no way this could happen, but the Ming Dynasty could give it a try.

After all, China's development in ocean-going shipbuilding started much earlier than those barbarians in Europe.

When Columbus discovered the American continent, the ship he was on was only about 23 meters long.

On the Chinese side, as early as the Qin Dynasty when Xu Fu was sent out to sea, the ships were already about 30 meters long.

Today, the treasure ship of the Ming Dynasty is about 138 meters long and 56 meters wide, so it is definitely worth trying.

Of course, this was also Wei Wu's original idea, but he did not expect Song Zhong and Sun Chang to bring it up.

You know, he didn't give these craftsmen the latter part of the book about steam power.

If we can draw inferences from one example and think of all these, there is only one most reasonable explanation.

China is a land of outstanding people and beautiful scenery. The descendants of Yan and Huang are the most outstanding people on earth! !

While Wei Wu was silent, Song Zhong and Sun Chang felt a little uneasy.

They were very sure that the idea they proposed was feasible, but they didn't know whether Wei Wu would agree.

Fortunately, at this time, Wei Wu also raised his head and looked at the two of them with admiration in his eyes.

"You two are really great!!"

After saying this, Wei Wu led the applause, and the other craftsmen followed suit.

"Originally, I was thinking that once the steam engine was built, I could tell you the rest of the knowledge."

"I didn't expect you guys to figure it out on your own. You're able to draw inferences from one example to another. This proves you've really put in the hard work and dedication."

"At the same time, I personally admire and am pleased with your courage to innovate and be bold in your ideas."

"I hope other craftsmen can learn from them and tell me what the purpose of our Institute of Science and Technology is!"

Hearing Wei Wu's words, all the craftsmen stood up and looked at him.

“Hypothesize boldly, verify carefully, make adjustments constantly, strive for excellence, and put safety first!”

"That's right, Song Zhong and Sun Chang did it. I will ask His Majesty to reward them. In the future, I hope you can all do the same!"

When the craftsmen heard that Wei Wu would ask the emperor for a reward, they all showed envy in their eyes.

However, there were a few people who looked rather depressed, namely the three people in the firearms group.

They still haven't figured out what substance to add to make gunpowder more powerful.

However, the three of them did not give up. Instead, they became more determined to find the recipe.

Looking at the expressions of the three people, Wei Wu nodded secretly, but said nothing.

He just looked at Song Zhong and Sun Chang who were in excitement.

"Regarding the steam engines used in ships, I will ask the Ministry of Industry to dispatch shipbuilding craftsmen to work with you."

"When you design the steam engine structure, you must consider it in conjunction with the treasure ship and optimize the structure reasonably."

"Okay, it's getting late, let's go and have some rest!"

Boom boom boom!

Wei Wu had just finished saying adjourn the meeting and the craftsmen had not yet left when there was a knock on the classroom door.

Then Eunuch Wang pushed the door open and walked in.

"Lord Changle, His Majesty has learned of the discovery of the steam engine and has ordered me to invite you to the Imperial Palace for an audience!"

Wei Wu was not surprised that Zhu Yuanzhang got the news about the steam engine so quickly.

After all, he is the president of the Academy of Science and Technology.

But he didn't expect that Lao Zhu would be so anxious. He sent someone over just after he finished the test.

Wei Wu originally wanted to talk to the firearms team, but now he can only wait until tomorrow.

After leaving the Academy of Science and Technology, he followed Eunuch Wang into the palace and came to the rear hall of Fengxian Hall.

I thought it was just Old Zhu looking for me, but after entering the hall I found that Zhu Biao was there too.

The two most powerful men in the Ming Dynasty were currently hunched over their desks, reviewing piles of memorials.

It was not until Wei Wu came in that they put down what they were doing. Old Zhu waved his hand and asked all the palace servants to leave.
