Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 145

A projector, a mobile phone and a set of walkie-talkies.

After putting these away, he took out the only mobile power bank he had from the warehouse.

About an incense stick's time later, Zhang Hai arrived with twenty-six craftsmen.

Originally there were twenty-four people, but the emperor sent two more craftsmen to develop firearms.

After everyone sat down, only Wei Wu stood at the front of the room looking at them.

"You are all the best craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry, but for various reasons, you are isolated and excluded by others."

"But here, you don't need to curry favor with your superiors or flatter them. You just need to do what you are good at and what you are proficient in."

"But you have to be mentally prepared, because next, you will find that the world is not what you imagined."

At this stage, Wei Wu was not planning to tell them about atmospheric pressure, the periodic table, and common physics knowledge.

Because no matter how much you say, it’s useless. Only by breaking these people’s inherent ideas can we better accept new things.

Letting them witness the magic of technology with their own eyes is more effective than saying a thousand words.

"Perhaps you are wondering why you were transferred here. I can tell you now."

"Your Majesty ordered me to create a device that can move on its own without the need for human or animal power. I call it a steam engine."

"It can be installed on a ship and can still sail quickly on the sea even if there is no wind, no sails, and no one is rowing."

As soon as Wei Wu finished speaking, someone stood up excitedly.

It’s just that this person’s excitement was not that of excitement, but that of doubt.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. Without wind, sails, and oars, the boat will just drift in the water."

After this person finished speaking, Song Zhong, who had had contact with Wei Wu, also stood up.

"That's right! A ship like this can't even move forward, let alone travel fast. It's simply impossible!"

Faced with the doubts of these two people, Wei Wu did not feel any dissatisfaction, but was very happy instead.

Because this is what he wants, and in terms of attitude, he only dares to speak, ask, and question.

Only by letting your mind go free can sparks be created and the spirit of breaking the rules be developed.

So after the two asked, Wei Wu just replied with a simple sentence.

"In ancient times, Gongshu Ban made a wooden magpie that could fly in the sky for three days and three nights without landing. Song Zhong, you should know this best."

"During the Han Dynasty, Zhuge Kongming invented the wooden ox and the flowing horse, which could carry 'a year's grain' and travel dozens of miles a day, thus transporting food and fodder for an army of 100,000."

"The ancient sages were able to create these amazing things, so why do you think what I say is impossible? Don't you even have the courage to catch up with them?"

After hearing Wei Wu's words, the craftsmen didn't know what to say.

After all, these are true stories recorded in history books, and they are also deeds that they admire immensely.

Seeing that the craftsmen were silent, Wei Wu spoke again:

"If I said I could make two people talk normally even though they were ten miles apart, would you still not believe me?"

There is no doubt that Wei Wu's words were once again questioned by the craftsmen.

Some people even secretly cursed Wei Wu as a fool and felt despair about their future.

Under the questioning gazes of all the craftsmen, Wei Wu picked up the walkie-talkie on the table.

It’s no wonder these people have doubts.

After all, it’s ten miles away!

In the Ming Dynasty, one li was about 550 meters, and ten li was more than 5,500 meters.

At such a long distance, let alone talking, even if you shout in a place like the grassland, you can't hear the other person's voice.

In their opinion, it was simply a pipe dream for two people to want to have a conversation when they were ten miles apart.

But for Wei Wu with the walkie-talkie in his hand, this was really a piece of cake.

Although his walkie-talkie is not particularly high-tech, it has a communication range of ten kilometers.

Ten miles is just less than six kilometers.
