My identity as a collector was exposed by the village flower

Chapter 337 Ancient Chinese Inventors

In the next few days, the Internet was full of news about the big earthquake and seismograph in Bangzi Country.

The rescue operation in Bangzi Country is very slow, and their officials and media are still asking the world for help every day, pretending to be pitiful.

Of course, it is indeed quite pitiful.

According to incomplete statistics, the earthquake caused direct economic losses of more than 2000 billion U.S. dollars, and the death toll was as high as more than [-], which was even more serious than the Wen/Sichuan earthquake in China.

The Chinese rescue team is always the fastest to arrive at the scene. In the past few days, more injured people have been rescued than the rescue team from Bangzi Country.

When the news spread, the Bangziguo government once again lost face all over the world.

Not to mention other countries, even the citizens of their own countries have expressed strong dissatisfaction with this, and some people have already started holding yx demonstrations.

"Western Eight! Our government is so disappointing, they would rather spend their time asking the world for help."

"So far, I have only seen the fire brigade working hard. What about our soldiers? Why can't we be like China? Their soldiers are always the first to rush to the scene of a disaster."

"Thanks to the Chinese rescue team, my family members were rescued by them."

"Not only that, China's relief supplies are also faster than other countries. I just want to know, when will our American father's relief supplies arrive? It has been three days. Are they going to wait ten years?"

"Hey! The miscellaneous sauce noodles gave you some sweetness, so you bought you off? Can you have a bit of backbone? Bitch bones."

"Shut up! Busan guys, it's not because you are suffering, why don't you just stand and talk without back pain?"

……

In Bangzi's country, netizens are arguing.

China's excellent rescue operation this time has earned a lot of impression points in the world.

Other countries donate some supplies symbolically, and then send a few people to make a show.

Especially in the United States, the supplies have not arrived for three or four days, but the diet and daily life of a group of people have to be taken care of by the government of Bangzi, and officials accompany them to eat and socialize every day.

No wonder so many Bangzi people feel chilled.

As a neighbor, Japan, whose performance is second only to China, has sent two rescue teams to participate in rescue activities.

This has caused many people in Bangzi to have mixed feelings, and they are usually most hostile to China and Japan.However, at the moment of disaster, these two countries are the most reliable.

……

At this time, the seismograph has been transported back to Yunwu Village.

Director Yuan of the museum has already vacated a space in the exhibition hall for the temporary exhibition of the seismograph.

"Boss, when the new area is completed, we will take out a small exhibition hall to place the seismograph." Yuan Shaohua said to Fang Xing.

"Hmm! You are in charge of arranging this matter." Fang Xing basically didn't care about these chores.

Since the management of the museum is entrusted to Yuan Shaohua, almost all management rights are entrusted to him, and Fang Xing rarely intervenes.

At the same time, a team of researchers who specialize in the structure of the seismograph came along, including foreigners, who wanted to figure out how the seismograph worked.

Not only China wants to know this question, but foreigners are equally curious.

You know, this is a technology almost 2000 years ago!At that time, human beings were still in the bronze age, how did they come up with instruments that could detect earthquake disasters?

I have to say that the ancient Chinese civilization is really awesome, and it deserves to be one of the four ancient civilizations.

"By the way, there are them, let's temporarily arrange to live in the staff dormitory of our museum!" Fang Xing said to Yuan Shaohua.

Yuan Shaohua nodded, knowing that these people have a lot of background, and they specialize in the study of seismographs.

Some foreigners suggested to take it apart completely, but they were rejected on the spot.

Are you kidding me?
Such an important treasure, if you take it apart, if you can't put it back together, or if a part is broken, can you afford it?There is only one thing in the world, and if it breaks, there is no reference at all.

Therefore, in any case, the Chinese side will not agree to a complete disassembly.

"It is impossible to disassemble it, but you can open the shell, detect every part inside, and then copy and assemble it to see if you can restore the function of the seismograph." Some Chinese experts put forward reliable ideas.

"Hmm! That's a good idea. It would be best if the materials are the same."

After all, the weight of some parts may affect the performance of the seismograph.So, the best thing to do now is to completely copy.

If you want to study, you can study slowly on the replica.If the copy is successful, no matter how hard they try, they have no objection.

However, this is an ancient cultural relic that has been passed down for more than 2000 years, and it must not be destroyed by others. This is the consensus of all Chinese people.

"You can do whatever you want, as long as you don't break it, otherwise it may be troublesome to repair." Fang Xing told them.

Outside the museum, many tourists are ready to come in and watch.In the past few days, our country's seismograph has really made everyone look up.

In the past, our country often said that there were four great inventions in ancient times, papermaking, printing, compass and gunpowder.

However, these four great inventions make gringos always ridicule that they have no technical content and are not considered great inventions. They can defeat the four ancient Chinese inventions with a single "electric light".

In fact, they don't even think about when the electric light was invented, which is the result of modern industrial civilization.

Put aside 2000 years ago, they Westerners were still playing with snakes!Just ask, what did they invent 2000 years ago?
Chinese silk and porcelain are regarded as priceless treasures by them.

In fact, although gunpowder, compass, papermaking and movable type printing are not of high technical content, they had a huge impact and played a huge role in promoting human civilization.

It is for this reason that they are honored as the Four Great Inventions of Ancient China by China.

Speaking of other inventions, ancient Chinese inventors such as Lu Ban, Zhuge Liang, Ma Jun, Seng Yixing, Su Song, Du Shi, Huang Daopo, etc. invented many things!
Not to mention Luban and Zhuge Liang, they are too famous.

Ma Jun's most outstanding performances include restoring the guide car; improving the cumbersome weaving machine at that time; inventing a keel waterwheel that diverts water from a low place to a high place; making a rotary stone machine...

The monks and his party made great contributions in manufacturing astronomical instruments, observing astronomical phenomena and presiding over astronomical geodesy.

Su Song led the manufacture of the world's oldest astronomical clock "water transport instrument platform", which opened a precedent for modern watch escapements.Needham called him "one of the greatest naturalists and scientists in ancient and medieval China".

Du Shi created the water row, which uses hydraulic power to drive the machine to continuously open and close the leather blast bag, sending air into the iron smelting furnace, and casting agricultural tools, with less force and more results.

Huang Daopo was the pioneer of my country's cotton spinning industry and an outstanding textile technology innovator in the [-]th century.

In addition, there are so many ancient inventions that have been lost in the long river of history, it is impossible to list them all.
