Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 173

At the same time he was a little clearer.

No matter how good your craftsmanship is or how fine the workmanship is, a fire gun cannot achieve this effect.

At a distance of more than fifty feet, there is no need to worry about the accuracy of the musket bullets. Whether they hit the target or not depends entirely on luck.

The firearm in Wei Wu's hand not only hit the target accurately, but also could penetrate the wooden board at such a long distance.

It can be said that it completely crushes the firearms made by oneself.

How could he accept this calmly when he had been proud of it all his life?

Returning to the wooden board, Wei Wu looked at the old craftsman with a dejected look on his face and asked casually.

"So, now that I've told you that the firearms you made are useless, are you still not convinced?"

The old craftsman lowered his head and remained silent, unable to utter a word for a long time.

At this time Wei Wu spoke again:

"Do you know where you lost?"

The old craftsman shook his head and remained silent.

"If I told you that this firearm of mine was derived from a hand cannon through continuous improvement, would you believe it?"

Swish!

Hearing Wei Wu's words, the old craftsman suddenly raised his head and looked at Wei Wu in surprise.

"Impossible! No matter how well-made the musket is, or how good the craftsmanship is, it can't possibly reach this level!"

After hearing what the old craftsman said, Wei Wu immediately started to confront him without any hesitation.

"Nonsense, because you're always doing this thing, but you don't know that everything in the world has its limits."

"You're an old stubborn person who only knows how to guard what our predecessors left behind, and you won't allow any changes or mistakes."

"But they don't understand that the things passed down by our ancestors are meant for future generations to sift through the dross and retain the essence, building on their legacy and surpassing them."

The more Wei Wu spoke, the angrier he became, and in the end he pointed directly at the old craftsman's nose.

"It's people like you who suppress the creativity of the younger generation, turning them into puppets who can only act but dare not think."

"If our ancestors were as complacent and unwilling to make progress as you are, it would be strange that the firearms you are so proud of could have been created."

“Medicine, ironware, weaving, paper, printing, all of them have been able to develop better because of change and innovation!”

Speaking of this, Wei Wu suddenly thought of the great man who appeared only once in thousands of years and shone like the dazzling sunlight.

The words the old man said immediately appeared in Wei Wu's mind.

"The world belongs to our ancestors and to future generations, but ultimately it belongs to the younger generation, who are full of vitality."

"They are in a period of prosperity, just like the rising sun in the sky at noon. Hope and the future rest on them!"

The old craftsman was in his sixties, yet he was scolded by the young man Wei Wu.

How could he accept this?

As for what Wei Wu said, he actually didn't listen to it at all.

However, due to the facts before him and Wei Wu's identity, he did not dare and had no confidence to refute.

Otherwise, how can you say that he is conservative?

If he could be easily changed by a few words, he wouldn't be so stubborn even though he's in his forties.

But what’s interesting is that although the old craftsman didn’t change, the two craftsmen next to him had some ideas.

Why did they follow the old craftsman and leave? It was because they had no future here.

Now that the future is so clear before their eyes, how can they bear to leave?

As for the firearm in Wei Wu's hand, not to mention completely replicating it, at least we can make it 30% to 40% similar.

When the army is equipped on a large scale in the future, they will also be able to rise in status and be given an official position.

So when Wei Wu finished speaking and the old craftsman remained silent, the two men stood up.

"Sir Vice President Wei, I was deceived by Xu Rong. I actually wanted to stay here, but he insisted that I go with him."

"Yes, yes, that's right. Me too, Vice President Wei. Xu Rong is stubborn and unrepentant. I am not. I completely agree with what you say!"

Seeing his two colleagues betray him, Xu Rong's eyes widened and he looked at them in disbelief.
