Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

In fact, if you think about it, even if Zhu Yuanzhang was an emperor who was about to conquer the world, his strength was not much different from that of young people.

But that aspect is not how strong it is, and Lao Zhu is old enough to do this.

Men start to go downhill after the age of 30, and if they don't take deliberate measures to take care of themselves, the decline will be even greater.

Mr. Zhu is fifty years old now, and it is normal for him to need medication as he is powerless.

Besides, he won’t be able to use it even if he wants to in a few years, so he might as well enjoy himself while he can and be happy as long as he can.

Thinking of this, Wei Wu simply took out a few boxes of Menglan Jinqiang pills from the system warehouse.

"Alright! Then let Big Brother use these first. If they run out, you can send Eunuch Wang to get more from me."

"The kid is going to the Institute of Science and Technology first!"

After saying that, Wei Wu handed the medicine box over directly. Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and happily took the medicine box.

He didn't even listen to what Wei Wu said and just waved his hand, as if to chase him away.

Seeing this, Wei Wu was speechless. Without saying a word, he turned around and walked towards the palace gate.

When he walked out of Fengxian Hall, he suddenly heard Zhu Yuanzhang's voice giving orders behind him.

"Issue an order: we will go to Yonghe Palace tonight and order Concubine Guo Hui to wait on us until bedtime!"

After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's instructions, Wei Wu chuckled, shook his head and complained in his heart.

Are you so impatient? I haven't even left yet! I'm your junior, after all, so please stay out of the way!

After leaving the palace, Wei Wu didn't even go home, but rushed straight back to the Institute of Science and Technology.

Since the mobile power bank had been repaired, the craftsmen went back to do their own work.

However, since Wei Wu had returned, they were naturally recalled to the main hall.

After all the craftsmen arrived, Wei Wu first looked at Song Zhong and Sun Chang.

"I heard earlier that you guys have completed the steamboat modification. How is it? Have you actually tested it? What are the results?"

As soon as Wei Wu finished speaking, Song Zhong and Sun Chang immediately walked out from the craftsmen and came to Wei Wu.

Both of them had proud expressions on their faces and wanted to report their achievements to Wei Wu.

However, Song Zhong was the acting manager appointed by Wei Wu after all, so he was the first to speak.

"Vice-President, we did test the steamship after it was modified, and the results were even better than I expected."

"According to the unit you specified, we have inquired about the treasure ship's previous experience at sea, and the speed is approximately 7 to 11 kilometers per hour."

"With the right wind and favorable currents, the treasure ship can reach speeds of fourteen kilometers per hour, and up to eighteen kilometers per hour."

When Mr. Song said this, his tone became even more excited.

"However, the steamboat modified by our Institute of Science and Technology can reach a speed of 37 kilometers per hour on water."

"Although it has not been tested at sea, when sailing on water normally, there is no need to worry about wind direction and water currents."

"If the wind and the water are favorable, we can even reach a speed of 40 kilometers per hour, which is double the speed before!"

Although Wei Wu had been mentally prepared, the transformation of the treasure ship would definitely bring about a qualitative change.

But he didn't expect that the results would be so good. The speed was comparable to that of the late 19th century and early 20th century.

You have to know that the speed of steamships in the mid-nineteenth century was only ten to fifteen knots.

This translates to approximately 18 to 27 kilometers per hour.

That was the 19th century! The Hongwu reign of the Ming Dynasty is only the 14th century, hundreds of years away from the 19th century!

But on second thought, Wei Wu felt that such an achievement was reasonable.

After all, thanks to his guidance, the steam engine has been a more advanced reciprocating steam engine from the very beginning.
