Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

"In that case, you might as well clarify the purpose of spending manpower and material resources on your so-called scientific research."

"Is it beneficial to the country and the people? Is it beneficial to the world's affairs? What contribution has it made to the country and the people?"

Wow, this Li Shanchang is really bold. As soon as he opens his mouth, he directly raises the banner of family, country and the world.

However, these problems did not pose any difficulty for Wei Wu.

"Then I'll first explain what the Institute of Science and Technology is talking about, and then answer Mr. Han's other questions!"

After saying that, Wei Wu took a deep breath and thought about his words before speaking.

"So-called technology is just a byproduct of science, and science is the study of things, the exploration and understanding of all things in the universe..."

"What nonsense! Human power is so insignificant! How can mortals like us possibly comprehend the might of heaven and earth? This is simply a lie to mislead the public!"

Wei Wu had just said the first sentence when Li Shanchang couldn't wait to scold him.

Seeing this, Wei Wu was not in a hurry. He waited until he finished speaking before replying leisurely.

"I was talking about heaven, earth, and all things, but Mr. Han only focused on the words heaven and earth and pressed me, not even mentioning the word all things."

"It seems like he doesn't care about what I said at all. He just refutes for the sake of refuting. Is this the only kind of temper you have for a dignified Duke?"

"Also, before I could finish my words, Duke Han interrupted me. Such rude behavior, has it been a waste of all my reading of the sages' books?"

Others might be intimidated by Li Shanchang's power, after all, he is one of the Three Dukes.

He was also the leader of the civil servants of the Huaixi Group.

What Guanglu Dafu, Shangguozhu, Taishi, Hanguo Gong, and other first-rank officials of the current dynasty, the names are so scary when they are mentioned.

However, Wei Wu was not a Ming Dynasty person, and he was not planning to be an official. Would he care about these things?

No matter how powerful Li Shanchang is, it has nothing to do with him. He doesn't need to worry about those things at all. He can do whatever he wants.

Facts have proved that Wei Wu's attitude really made Li Shanchang very angry.

Given his status, all the civil servants in the court would think twice before speaking to him.

Now he was being humiliated by an unknown young man, whose attitude lacked even the most basic respect.

But what Wei Wu said was true, and it was indeed he who interrupted Wei Wu.

In front of the emperor, he couldn't use his power to suppress others, so he could only suppress his anger and glare at Wei Wu.

Seeing that he was silent, Wei Wu continued:

“Science consists of three steps: first, the exploration of all things; second, the understanding of the nature of all things; and finally, the effort to achieve control.”

"As the Korean Office asked, the purpose of expending manpower and material resources is to complete the first two steps and thus reach the third step."

“Technology is derived from science and is the means and tools for controlling everything through human power.”

After saying these words, Wei Wu stopped and looked at the three people, waiting for them to speak.

In fact, Li Shanchang had been unable to hold back for a long time, and now he could finally speak.

"You said you can control everything, right? Then why don't you demonstrate what you control? That will broaden our horizons."

It is clear that Li Shanchang is deliberately making trouble here, seizing a point to embarrass Wei Wu.

Wei Wu talked about the process and the results that can be achieved, and explained that it is divided into three steps.

But Li Shanchang simply ignored the first two steps and asked him to demonstrate his success before he even started researching.

This is like asking a breastfeeding baby to solve a calculus problem immediately, which is as difficult as climbing to the sky!

Fortunately, Wei Wu didn't need to solve math problems, he just needed to show his results.

With this little thing, Li Shanchang had walked into trouble and was not able to defeat Wei Wu at all.

Wei Wu reached into his arms and took out a short black stick.

Then he looked at Li Shanchang and said with contempt:

"Given your intelligence, it's hard for me to explain it to you, but I can let you experience the feeling of thunder and lightning!"

After hearing Wei Wu's words, not only Li Shanchang, but the other two officials were also stunned.

Thunder and lightning!

This is the greatest power in the world, a power that only the immortals in heaven can master.

But this young man in front of me, who is so ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth, actually speaks such arrogant words?

While Li Shanchang and the other two were secretly complaining in their hearts, they did not notice that Zhu Yuanzhang's expression next to them had changed.

This guy is so evil!

Taking this out is to kill Li Shanchang!

Others may not know what Wei Wu took, but he knew it very well in his heart.

Last time, Lan Yu fell into trouble with this thing, which seemed to be called a thunder stick.

Even a military general like Lan Yu, who had fought on the battlefield, could not hold on, let alone Li Shanchang, who was over sixty years old.

So, before Li Shanchang could speak, Zhu Yuanzhang took the initiative to stop him.

"Wei Wu, the power of this thunder and lightning is too fierce. Shan Chang is too old to try it himself!"

Are you kidding? If Wei Wu really hit Li Shanchang, he might die in this palace.

Although Li Shanchang became somewhat arrogant over the years, he was still one of the founding fathers.

Moreover, Li Shanchang is still useful at this stage, and Zhu Yuanzhang cannot let anything happen to him.

Wei Wu actually understood this in his heart, and he was just teasing her on purpose.

Therefore, after Zhu Yuanzhang spoke, Wei Wu also followed suit and said:

"Yeah, then let's replace the Korean male with a chicken! They're all the same anyway."

Upon hearing Wei Wu's words, Li Shanchang's face turned as black as charcoal.

The two officials standing by heard the ambiguity in Wei Wu's words and immediately lowered their heads.

Only Zhu Yuanzhang didn't react at all, but the expression on his face was somewhat strange.

But he didn't say much, just ordered the palace servants to find a live chicken.

But how could Li Shanchang swallow this humiliation? He immediately started to make trouble for Wei Wu.

"Let's put aside the fact that controlling lightning hasn't been verified yet. If you say science controls everything, then it must be able to control other things as well."

"Everything in this world is bathed in sunlight. Since you have made such a bold statement, let the sunlight from outside shine into this room!"

"Or, what if you could control the wind that's everywhere in this world, and let it go wherever you want it to go?"

There were no electric lights in ancient times, only candles, and everyone was in the palace.

Although it is broad daylight now, this room has no light at all and relies entirely on the light from the palace candles.

Although it does not affect the vision, it always gives people a dim feeling

I have to say that Li Shanchang knew how to make things difficult for people.

He did not mention things that could be seen and touched, but instead used intangible things like light and wind to embarrass Wei Wu.

The two ministers standing aside first looked at Li Shanchang, then looked at Wei Wu, and shook their heads secretly in their hearts.

Why offend anyone else when he could have offended Li Shanchang, the Duke of Korea?

This person appears to be kind and gentle on the surface, but is actually jealous and harsh to others.

When you are in the officialdom and deal with such people, you should try not to offend them if possible.

In their opinion, in the situation just now, Wei Wu should have bowed his head.

If you endure for a moment, everything will be fine. If you take a step back, the sky will be clear and everything will be fine.

But Wei Wu insisted on confronting him head-on, which led to his current embarrassing situation.

It’s a pity that both Li Shanchang and these two ministers had limited vision and thinking.

If Wei Wu knew what they were thinking, he would just give a simple response.

You have no idea about the power of technology!
