Chapter 474
After various trials and tribulations, the experimental warship was finally complete.
In the special train bound for Wonsan, King Sejong read through a thick report. After meticulously studying the report detailing the steam engine’s specifications and future development directions, he set it down and let out a light sigh.
“Hah… It seems we still have a long way to go.”
“This is just the beginning.”
Sejong nodded slightly at Hyang’s response.
“When I first ascended to the throne, I thought craftsmen’s skills were shallow compared to classical studies. I believed we could reach the pinnacle with just a little ingenuity. But seeing how things have progressed, I now realize that craftsmanship is just as profound as scholarship, with an equally long path ahead.”
Hyang responded firmly to Sejong’s words.
“Not just technology, but everything related to it is worthy of being considered a legitimate field of study.”
“Your words ring true.”
