The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

Chapter 1738: People don't play this

When conditions permit, users of cold weapons will basically choose equipment that suits their height and strength. For side weapons such as sabers, those who are particular about taking into account the length of their arms.

   If the height difference is too great, if you use weapons of the same length, it is obviously not the best choice for personal use of force.

Of course, it is impossible in the military to meet the best needs of everyone in this way. What the military needs is the standardization of equipment. In China and the whole world, there is probably only the Qin army in the 3rd century BC. Did it.

  Charlemagne, a figure in the middle and late 8th century and early 9th century AD. The productivity of Europe in the early Middle Ages where he was located was low, and it was impossible for a large-scale army to use standardized sabers.

   It’s impossible to demolish houses and sell land!

   The nobles and knights basically use ancestral or seized sophisticated equipment. As for the soldiers, they probably just use whatever they have. There is no choice.

   Charlemagne is an emperor, and may like to use ancestral weapons. It should be easy to customize a few long swords that suit your habits.

At this time, Jerry Goodenkorn said to Zhang Nan: "In 1988, West German archaeologists opened a golden reliquary in Aachen Cathedral and found that it contained the remains of a tall and thin old man. .

  Aachen Cathedral should have been Charlemagne's court church 1200 years ago. According to the calculations of the bones' time and the status of the reliquary, the remains are considered to be Charlemagne.

  Previously, historians used historical data to speculate that Charlemagne was between 1.78 and 1.92 meters tall. He was huge in Europe in the 8th century.

   At that time, the height can reach 1.8 meters, which is the same concept as the current height of 2 meters, or even less!

   6 years ago, the Germans calculated based on the discovered remains that Charlemagne was about 1.84 meters tall when he was young, which is in line with historical records.

  Boss, what is your exact height? "

   The approximate height of a person can be seen by others, but this is an accurate figure, and Zhang Nan will not talk about it everywhere when he is okay.

Zhang Nan has been playing local goods for so many years, and he doesn’t mind that the appraisal experts under him compare his height with a king who has been dead for more than 1,100 years, but smiled and said: “Then I’m going to be slightly shorter than him, barefoot 183 in the morning, Probably 182 at night."

   High in the morning and short in the evening. This is the case for people with normal work and rest schedules, with the exception of bedridden all year round.

   The height of a person will change slightly at different times of the day because of the cartilage.

   The highest when you wake up, relax.

   Then the whole day passes, and the body will be squashed by his own weight a little bit.

Upon hearing Zhang Nan’s words, Jerry said: “It’s just one or two centimeters, almost no difference. I heard that China’s three-service honor guards have an allowable value of two centimeters when they choose people. That is already the most stringent standard in the world. , There is only one line in the past.

   Also, boss, I think your arm span is slightly higher than your height. "

   "I haven't measured it, it seems to have grown a little bit. I am a Chinese southerner, but I am actually more like a northerner. My ancestors migrated."

   This group of people around me sometimes watch the NBA when they are free. Zhang Nan talked about the length of the arm when he was on the court, so Jerry would not think this "China South, North" issue is nonsensical and incomprehensible.

   The relationship between a person's height and arm span can be distinguished by geographical and ethnic genes in general. The height of a normal person is approximately equal to the length of the arm span.

   Starting from physical fitness alone, if you want to be an "exceptional person", this arm span also matters.

  Like professional basketball players, most people will have a larger arm span than their height. It is better to have as many as possible. Like in the NBA, long-armed monsters with a difference of more than 20 cm can be found.

  Athletes who are engaged in bodybuilding or gymnastics, as well as those who have explosive muscles such as weightlifting, generally have arm spans smaller than their height, and there is absolutely no market for long-arm monsters. .

   Based on the classification of race, relatively speaking, the black's wingspan is larger than the height. As for the white and yellow people, the wingspan is generally equivalent to the height.

   In China, Liu Bei's tearful and playful long-armed monster is rare, and the "Ape Arm" is a rare animal.

   Also, it is said that the Chinese people in the south, especially those in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, have basically the same arm span and height, and some are slightly shorter than their height.

   In the north of China, the proportion of people whose arms span is longer than their height is relatively larger.

   Zhang Nan has never measured his wingspan like a professional basketball player, but his tailor said that his arms are well proportioned, and his wingspan is more than an inch longer than his height.

   How many Zhang Nan did not ask, but based on this estimation, his wingspan should be between centimeters.

   is slightly longer, not too long.

   At this time Jerry said again: "The possibility that Charlemagne is a long-armed monster is extremely unlikely, otherwise the person studying the pile of bones would have exploded long ago.

   only speculates from his race, his arm span may be similar to his height, at most it is similar to your boss's arm span.

  There is also the problem of body shape. Charlemagne, like you, the boss, is a thin type according to the current European and American world concept.

   Of course, boss, you look thin, but you are actually very explosive, the power of the Oriental!

   Charlemagne should have been trained as a knight since he was a child, and he has good nutrition, so even if he is thin, his power is definitely beyond the average of men at the time.

   This sword belongs to the style around the 8th century, including some of the decorative craftsmanship, and the quality of the sword body belongs to the top of the top of that era.

   You use it smoothly. If the sword was specially customized for someone at the time, then the customizer is most likely a giant whose size, size, and strength are similar to your boss. "

"Hahaha..."

   Zhang Nan laughed and said to Jerry: "Please, stop saying that I am a giant, okay, Mark and Jacob are all laughing there."

The Mark brothers, who are listening to the boss talking with Mr. Gooden Cowan in the back, are innocent lie guns. They are the boss’s meat shield and human bulletproof shield. This "earing" means knowing that the boss is talking, but the attention is actually still The ones placed around, don’t pay attention.

   The two veritable giants both showed helpless expressions-"Heaven and earth conscience, we really didn't laugh!"

Unexpectedly, Jerry Goodenkorn was a bit reluctant, and immediately said: "Boss, Charlemagne was in the dark age of the early Middle Ages, let alone that time, even in the 14th century, the knights with better nutrition, This average height is just over 1.6 meters, not much.

   Even if the rider is too tall, it’s not good, can you still expect those farmers who can’t eat enough to grow taller than the noble lords?

   That's impossible, boss.

In the Middle Ages, the mainstream European combat horses were large, and not to mention them, even foreign Arabian horses can fully withstand the combat needs of a fully armed knight with a height of 1.75 to 1.80. .

   At that time, the nobles and knights also wore chain mail. The full set of knight equipment was not too heavy, and the heavy vest had not yet appeared. There was no need to control the height of the knight.

   That is the knight who is going to fight, not the rider of today's speed horse racing, this is only one meter and six zeros, that is really no way.

   By the way, Charlemagne’s father is a short man named Pepin. He was a small man who was famous all over Europe that year. It is estimated that it would be difficult for him to get ahead at 1.5 meters.

   This sword can't be left by Charlemagne's father. If the dwarf Pepin wears this sword on his belt, he will become a clown in the circus.

   All the knights are like this. Boss, you were a giant in Europe at the time. You are absolutely right.

If it’s like a time tunnel, the boss, you traveled to the Middle Ages, it’s probably easy to eat a bowl of rice. Every lord would like to have a guard like you~www.readwn.com~Zhang Nan quickly interrupted him, "Don’t talk nonsense." Now you are going to the Middle Ages!

   At that time, a little bit of a long distance could kill people. I am an Oriental who ran there. If you don't treat it as a heresy, you will have a ghost, and a fool will be interested! "

   How terrifying the Middle Ages is, Zhang Nan is clear in his heart, and he is too lazy to say.

   Not to mention other dangers, just medical and sanitary conditions will make you shudder!

At this time Jerry Goodenkorn seemed to want to start something, and then said: "Perhaps... the boss, in fact, the French and Germans were right before, that the sword in the Louvre belonged to Charlemagne. And this handle is also Charlemagne's.

   Historical sources say that Charlemagne likes to wear ordinary clothes, not like a king, just like an ordinary knight.

   tunic, linen shirt and stockings, and then put on a blue cloak.

In addition to his height, another distinguishing feature of    is a golden sword, which he wears on a gold and silver belt every day, and it seems that he sometimes wears a gemstone sword in order to dress up for special occasions. "

   Jerry spoke vigorously, his eyes brightened.

   Zhang Nan shook his head slightly in his heart, handed the sword to him, and said: "Then you and immediately study slowly to see if this piece of iron is on the Ronginus gun.

   left, look inside. "

   Jerry Gooden Cowan smiled awkwardly: In front of the boss, don't talk about the legends related to Brother Su, people don't play this!
