My system is not decent

Chapter 1845 Incomprehensible strange weapon
Our country has had the custom of respecting the old and loving the young since ancient times. When Emperor Han Ming was in power, he once held a banquet for the elderly over 70 years old.

After the banquet, Emperor Han Ming gave a dove stick to each of the old people present.

"Book of Etiquette in the Later Han Dynasty": "The jade stick is (nine) feet long, and the end is decorated with doves and birds. The dove is a bird that does not choke, and the elderly do not want to choke."

The turtledove bird eats without choking, implying that the old people eat delicious food, have a good health, and live a long and healthy life.

In addition to this special imperial gift, in fact, the copper crossbow machine also had a very special position in ancient times.

Now is the era of firearms. Once there is a war, small firearms are trivial, and often big things are thrown directly at them.

However, in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, when the two armies fought, the crossbow was the first. It can be seen that the crossbow was definitely a first-class and important weapon at that time.

Cultural relics experts once unearthed a batch of strange copper objects when they conducted protective excavations in the tomb of Liu Sheng, King Jing of Zhongshan in the Western Han Dynasty.

This thing looks like a freehand pistol, but where would there be a pistol at that time, the experts later denied the unreliable point of view.

With the deepening of the excavation, experts found traces of decayed crossbows and sheep casing bowstrings in front of this pistol-shaped bronze.

After seeing these traces, the experts realized that it turned out to be the copper crossbow machine behind the crossbow.

This kind of crossbow is a weapon with long-range and strong lethality, and its structure is divided into two parts: the arrow box and the body.

The mechanism is made of copper, and the vector box is carved from nanmu, which is rectangular in shape, and there are two side-by-side semicircular launch holes on the lower edge of the front end.

There are three slots for storing arrows in the box, the two sides are vertical slots, which can store nine arrows, and the middle is a horizontal slot, which can be placed side by side inside.

This kind of copper crossbow is well cast and very delicate, and already has some prototypes of modern weapons.

It's a pity that every change of dynasty in ancient times would be a civilization fault. In addition, science was not valued, and this weapon was not developed.

Even in the Han Dynasty, the practical crossbow has become larger, not smaller.

Modern technology has proved that any thing, gigantic and miniaturized are high-tech.

In 1964, a copper crossbow made in the fourth year of Liu Chan Jingyao was unearthed in Sichuan.

It has been more than 20 years since Zhuge Liang passed away in the fourth year of Jingyao, but the production of this large Liannu is still very precise.

The weight of the entire crossbow is 267 kilograms, so such a large crossbow can only be wound with the foot, and then it can be fired.

And the records in "Tang Jing Sai Nu" have detailed descriptions.

This book says that there are many crossbows in Shu, and the largest crossbow is Zhuge Liannu.

This kind of crossbow can fire ten bolts at one time, called a group of crows, or it can fire only one bolt.

Moreover, the one that fires ten is still one. They are all called mountain-destroying crossbows, which are the continuous crossbows made by Kong Ming back then.

It's just that there were not many dynasties that could support this kind of large-scale industrialized manufacturing in ancient times, and even if they were able to make it, whether they wanted to make it or whether they could make it was still a question.

So this kind of copper crossbow, which is very similar to a pistol, was eventually lost.

There are many strange things like this in ancient times, such as jade 韘.

What is Yuwei, the correct answer is that it is the father of the finger.

In ancient times, in order to protect the fingers of the bow shooter, the auxiliary tool for hooking the string worn on the right thumb of the archer was the jade 韘.

The earliest jade was unearthed in the tomb of Fu Hao in the Yin Ruins in the late Shang Dynasty. When it was unearthed, archaeologists felt that this thing looked like a finger.

However, the fingers of the Qing Dynasty were all in the shape of a hollow straight barrel, which was somewhat different from this strange monster.

After examining the classics, the experts finally confirmed that this jade 韘 is the father of the modern finger puller.

Because there is a shallow groove that can be used to hook strings on this jade 韘, and there are obvious traces of use on it.

Like this weird ancient utensil, and the world's earliest steam pot.

In 1976, a strange bronze vessel was unearthed in the tomb of Fu Hao in the Yin Ruins of Anyang.

It is a basin-shaped container with a hollow column in the middle and a perforated opening in the shape of a lotus flower on top of the column.

What exactly is this thing, experts were also debating endlessly at the time.

Some people say it is a sacrificial article, but some say it is a gourmet utensil.

After protracted debate, it was finally named steam column retort-meaning steam pot.

The steam column retort is placed on the hot water basin, and the steam will rise along the perforated column into the retort to steam the food inside.

But some experts reserved their opinions, thinking that this thing should be an alchemy stove for alchemy.

And there are many such weird kitchen utensils, such as copper leaks.

It is a bronze closed cylinder with a hole in the top, a hole in the bottom, and a handle on the top.

What was this thing used for by the ancients?At first glance, it must be confusing.

The sound of five nights leaks to remind the arrow of dawn, and the ninefold spring is drunk with fairy peaches.

This is "Early Dynasty with Jiasheren" written by Du Fu, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty. These two lines of poems express one thing, that is, more leaks.

More leaks are equivalent to modern watches, quartz clocks and timers, but when the Geng leak below was unearthed in an ancient tomb, it really made experts scratch their hair.

Because of the wooden scale rod in the middle of this weird-looking thing, and the water floats and other things inside.

And some parts have already decayed into mud, so it is even more difficult to identify.

Without a few of the important things, this gag becomes an incomprehensible strange weapon...

Strange things like this can be said to abound, such as copper gongs with king patterns.

When a farmer was building a road in Xiaotianxi, FL, Sichuan Province, he accidentally dug an ancient tomb from the Warring States Period.

After hearing the news, the experts rushed to the scene. After excavation, a large number of cultural relics were unearthed.

But facing this weird bronze ware, they were helpless.

The thing has an octagonal handle topped by an oval cup-shaped body.

On the front of the cup-shaped bronze vessel, there are also two characters of king engraved.

In the middle of the word Wang, there is also a mysterious Bashu symbol.

Is this thing a blackjack?But when used as a wine glass, it seems too heavy.

As a container, its bottom cannot stand at all.

After several years of research, experts finally found its name in ancient books——钲.

The gong is a percussion instrument in the Warring States Period, often used in military formations, and has the function of commanding soldiers to advance and retreat in war.

For this reason, the Chinese character 王 will be engraved on the surface of the gong to show the importance of the vessel!
Like the gong, although there are very few such strange and rare musical instruments handed down from ancient times, they will not be isolated, such as the tiger button yu.

This bronze ware is the weirdest bronze ware Chen Wenzhe has ever seen.

The strange thing about it is that this kind of vessel has an opening at the bottom, a tiger button on the top, and transparent holes all over the body of the vessel in the middle.
