The short video shows the ancient times, and the emperors cried with envy!

Chapter 698: Five accidental inventions in history! Wu Zetian was shy: her merits were immeasurable and benefited generations to come!

[Initially, sales were not ideal due to social restrictions.]

[But as time went on, more and more women realized the convenience of this product.]

[In the end, sanitary napkins completely changed women's lifestyles and became a groundbreaking invention. ]

The contents on the sky curtain left most ancient people confused.

sanitary napkin?
When I first heard this word, I was a little confused.

But as the specific uses of sanitary napkins were explained in detail on the sky curtain, the cheeks of the ancients began to blush.

Those ministers who usually chatted and laughed seemed a little uneasy at this moment.

Even the emperors who were always majestic could not help but lower their heads slightly to avoid other people's gazes.

This topic, which is related to women's private matters, is undoubtedly extremely sensitive in this era of strict ethics.

But despite being shocked, they had to admit the importance and innovativeness of this invention.

"This sanitary napkin is a wonderful invention."

"Indeed, the original intention was to make insoles, but it unexpectedly created such an important item. It was really an unexpected success."

"Although this thing is small, it can greatly improve women's lives. This invention is truly a great deed."

Everyone nodded, and the embarrassment on their faces gradually faded away, replaced by sincere admiration for this unexpected invention.

Unlike many ancient people who were shy, Empress Wu Zetian was more insightful.

As the only female emperor in history, she has a unique understanding of the important position of women in the course of history.

Women are not only the bearers of life, but also the inheritors of civilization and builders of society.

From the female chieftains in ancient times, to the female prime minister of Qi during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, to herself, women have played an important role in various fields such as politics, economy, and culture.

It is precisely because of the contributions of these outstanding women that Chinese civilization has been able to continue and remain fresh over time.

She firmly believes that menstruation, as part of the female physiological cycle, should not be regarded as something to be ashamed of.

On the contrary, it symbolizes the continuation and reproduction of life and is a natural phenomenon that deserves respect and cherishment.

Therefore, in Wu Zetian's view, sanitary napkins, an invention that can improve the quality of life of women, should not only be popularized, but also should be valued and supported by the whole society.

She thought to herself that if such convenient items were available during the time she ruled, it would surely greatly improve the quality of life of palace ladies and ordinary people.

Thinking of this, Wu Zetian also had some ideas in her mind.

[The second unexpected invention was the pacemaker.]

[This medical device, which has saved countless lives, was actually born out of an accidental electric shock experiment. ]

[In 1956, American inventor Wilson Greatbach was conducting a study on chronic arrhythmias.]

[During a routine experiment, he accidentally installed an incorrect resistor into his device.]

[Surprisingly, this mistake had an unexpected effect.]

The device begins to generate regular electrical pulses, the frequency of which happens to be similar to the frequency of a human heart beat.

Greatbach immediately realized the importance of this unexpected discovery.

[He began to study the effects of these electrical impulses on the heart, and based on this, he developed the world's first implantable pacemaker.]

【This invention has completely changed the quality of life for heart disease patients.】

[The pacemaker can monitor the heartbeat and send out electrical pulses when the heartbeat is abnormal to help the heart restore its normal rhythm.] [It is like a miniature electronic heart that works 24 hours a day to protect the patient's life.]

[Since the first pacemaker was successfully implanted in a human body in 1960, the technology has continued to develop and improve.]

[Today, millions of people around the world have relied on pacemakers to extend their lives and greatly improve their quality of life. ]

This information soon aroused Hua Tuo's great interest.

As a famous medical scientist in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, he was extremely shocked by this device that could directly regulate the heartbeat!
In his time, doctors' understanding of the heart was still at a rudimentary stage, let alone accurately controlling its beating.

The acupuncture he is good at regulates human functions by stimulating the meridians, while this pacemaker acts directly on the heart itself.

This treatment method, which is precise at the organ level, is far beyond what Hua Tuo could have imagined.

If this technology can be applied to other organs, it will be able to cure more difficult and complicated diseases!
Unfortunately, this is not something that belongs to this era after all.

What a blessing it would be if we could travel through time and space and witness the operation of this device with our own eyes.

However, it is a great blessing that such a good thing can appear in later generations.

As long as it can benefit the people, it is never too late to show up.

[The third unexpected invention is Viagra, which has helped countless middle-aged men regain their virility! ]

[This little blue pill that people love and hate was actually originally developed to treat angina pectoris. ]

[In 1989, scientists at Pfizer in the United States were developing a new heart disease drug.]

The goal was to find a compound that would dilate blood vessels and increase blood flow.

[But the results of the clinical trial were unexpected. ]

[Volunteers reported that the drug had no significant effect on the heart, but it did have an unexpected side effect.]

[That's right, it makes a certain indescribable part become extra energetic! ]

[The scientists were a little embarrassed at first, but soon realized the commercial value of this discovery.]

[This failed heart disease drug has transformed into a miracle drug for treating male dysfunction.]

[In 1998, Viagra was officially launched on the market, and immediately set off a blue whirlwind around the world. ]

[Countless middle-aged men who have been troubled have regained their confidence and reached the peak of their lives again. ]

[Of course, there are also many people who abuse this drug, leading to some ridiculous situations. ]

[But it is undeniable that the invention of Viagra has indeed improved the quality of life of many people. ]

[It not only saved countless marriages that were on the verge of breaking up, but also indirectly promoted population growth. ]

[Its effect is even better than that of Yue Lao Hong Niang. ]

When the ancient people heard what was written on the sky curtain, their expressions changed and their hearts were in turmoil again!

I originally thought that sanitary napkins were shameful enough, but who would have thought that this Viagra incident was even worse, it really made me feel ashamed!
Some older people secretly feel fortunate that this thing has not appeared in the world, otherwise it would inevitably be a disgrace to civilization.

But many men are secretly envious in their hearts.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could get this magical medicine!
Many people lament that men’s blooming period is too short.

Twenty-five years old is a huge watershed, and you are completely two different people before and after!
Many ancient people even began to secretly fantasize that if they could also enjoy such magical things, they would be able to regain their youth and relive their youthful days!

Not only that, the tigress in the family also has to become a little wife!
