But this doesn’t make sense!

He was suspected of being involved in the student unrest and was afraid of being implicated, imprisoned, and even tortured.

The worst that could happen is suicide, so why leave a suicide note? Want to leave a clean name in the world?

Just when Wei Wu was confused, Zhu Yuanzhang spoke and told the truth.

"Huang Lang was murdered at home. This suicide note was placed on the table next to him. They were targeting you."

"The person who did it was very clever and skilled. He was able to evade the surveillance of the Imperial Guards and kill Huang Lang."

"If it hadn't been discovered by the Jinyiwei guards by chance when I left, I'm afraid this suicide note would have been leaked."

Huang Lang was killed, but it wasn't someone sent by Lao Zhu who did it?

After listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Wei Wu frowned slightly, picked up the suicide note and opened it to read.

The content of the suicide note was similar to what Huang Lang said when he hit his head against the pillar, except that the words were more sharp.

In addition to the criticism of Wei Wu, there was also some dissatisfaction with Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang.

Under normal circumstances, it would not cause too much waves, but if combined with his act of hanging himself, the effect would be completely different.

After reading the suicide note with a gloomy face, Wei Wu turned to look at Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Uncle Zhu, has the person who did this been caught?"

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head slowly.

"We caught him, but it was useless. He was a death warrior. He killed several Jinyiwei, but when he saw the situation was not good, he swallowed poison and died on the spot."

After hearing what Zhu Yuanzhang said, Wei Wu's first reaction was the Kong family.

There are many families in this world that have the ability to train assassins, but few dare to intervene in this matter at this time.

Only the Kong family is the most logical, otherwise, he really can't think of anyone else who is so brave.

Thinking in his heart, Wei Wu turned to look at Zhu Yuanzhang, but found that he also had a gloomy face.

If nothing unexpected happens, it should be the same idea as mine.

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang spoke to confirm Wei Wu's guess.

"Xiao Wu, I think the plan you and Biao'er discussed last time is a good one. Let's do it as you wish!"

"Uncle Zhu, do you agree to let me leave the capital?"

Wei Wu's eyes lit up, and he asked tentatively, and then heard Zhu Yuanzhang say affirmatively:

"Yes, I agree, but you must be properly protected. I will arrange for a hundred Jinyiwei to follow you."

"These people are only there to protect you secretly. Just pretend they don't exist. You can order them to show up when you need them."

"Leaving the capital this time is extremely risky. I will give you another imperial edict. Seeing this imperial edict is like seeing me. You can mobilize 10,000 soldiers and horses nearby!"

After getting Zhu Yuanzhang's answer, Wei Wu laughed on the spot.

In fact, he doesn’t care whether he is a Jinyiwei or not, because he has the Wuchang Squad.

The Wuchang Squad of the Jinyiwei can do it, and even if the Jinyiwei can't do it, the Wuchang Squad can do it.

The key is this imperial edict, which mobilizes tens of thousands of troops nearby. This is the most powerful thing.

If this imperial edict was issued by the emperor of the late Ming Dynasty, Wei Wu would have thrown it into the trash can without hesitation.

Local military officers in the late Ming Dynasty would not give the emperor face, and might even kill him directly.

But now it is the beginning of the founding of the country, and the majesty of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor, is here.

In the entire Ming Dynasty, no military officer dared to disobey this imperial edict.

I was already full of confidence about this trip, and now I am even more confident.

"Don't worry, Uncle Zhu! Whether it's the White Lotus Sect or Qufu, I promise to handle this matter beautifully."

Zhu Yuanzhang pressed his hand, then shook his head and said:

"It doesn't matter if this thing doesn't work out. If it doesn't work out, just come back to the capital. Do you remember what you said to me?"

"In the future, our Ming Dynasty's goal is the Endless Ocean. We will have plenty of opportunities to deal with the White Lotus Sect and the Kong family."

"Remember, your safety is the most important thing. This time, just treat it as a sightseeing trip. It doesn't matter whether you get anything done or not!"

Although Zhu Yuanzhang said so, Wei Wu still wanted to get this done.

If nothing else, based on what happened today, this family has no reason to exist.

Of course, he still has to give a proper response to Lao Zhu's concern.

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhu! I cherish my own life very much!"

"Ok!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, then changed the subject and asked about what the Academy of Science and Technology was exhibiting today.

"Xiao Wu, what's the production volume of the rifled flintlock rifle and the two cannons we demonstrated today? When can they be equipped to the entire army?"

Knowing that Zhu Yuanzhang would ask, Wei Wu immediately gave an answer.

"It might be difficult to equip the entire army. Materials and manpower aren't a problem, but the main difficulty lies in production."

"When it comes to precision machining, although it can be done manually, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and there is no way to guarantee that the precision meets the standards."

"The machine tools I brought out all require electricity, and the ones I have right now can't sustain power."

Weiwu's solar panels can generate three kilowatt-hours of electricity a day, even when there is plenty of sunshine.

However, a mobile power bank can only store 20 degrees of electricity at most, which is difficult to supply to daily household appliances.

Powering industrial machines like machine tools is a joke.

Even powering one machine is insufficient, let alone the several machine tools in the Institute of Science and Technology.

After this period of influence, Zhu Yuanzhang had some basic understanding of electrical appliances and electricity.

After listening to Wei Wu's explanation, he frowned and thought for a moment, then asked another question.

"Then can we find a way to generate electricity? Didn't you tell me before about a generator?"

"Generate electricity?"

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, Wei Wu fell into deep thought.

Indeed, if we can enter the era of basic electricity, then everything we do next will be much more convenient.

But you can't just enter this thing, at least you have to meet the prerequisites.

Electricity is really difficult because its difficulty lies in the principles. If you don’t understand the principles, it will be a waste of effort if you mess around.

It is simple to say the least, because it is easier to implement than a steam engine.

The principle of the generator is the electromagnetic induction phenomenon.

By cutting the magnetic lines of force between magnets and performing rotational motion, mechanical energy can be converted into electrical energy.

But to achieve this, you first need magnets. The more magnets are connected in series, the greater the voltage.

The problem is that ordinary natural magnets are not enough. To make a generator, you need strong magnets.

Thinking of this, Wei Wu suddenly muttered something.

"Looks like I need to find a way to get struck by lightning a few times!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his face changed immediately.
