How can we prove that the ancient Chinese people had strong innovation ability? I used to think so, but now I find that foreign countries are no worse than Chinese people. China’s four great inventions are not recognized by foreign countries.
Innovation requires the accumulation of experience. Innovation is not as simple as asking questions, it is the principle of scientific and regular development. It doesn’t matter which country you are from. You have to ask
Two advanced inventions of the Qin Dynasty are unique in the world, but the mysterious technology invented by the Qin Dynasty was plagiarized by the West
The Qin Dynasty was the first great invention in our country The unified dynasty combined the forces of the six countries and made the country strong. However, during the Warring States Period, when the six kingdoms were competing for hegemony, Qin Shihuang's ability to rise from among many small kingdoms must be due to his excellence. After Qin Shihuang unified the six kingdoms, his early rule was very smooth. He implemented various national policies. Developing the economy, the domestic economy prospered for a while. However, in the later period, Qin Shihuang built the Great Wall and Afang Palace, using a lot of manpower and financial resources, which caused deep resentment among the people. Qin Shihuang was once regarded as a tyrant.
There was a lot of controversy at the time about the merits and demerits of Qin Shihuang. He created many miracles, but he also did disgusting things, which made his image linger in people's hearts. , but it cannot be denied that many of Qin Shihuang's actions did have a great impact on the development of later generations and played a role in promoting it. Qin Shihuang not only made great achievements in national governance, but also made many advanced inventions at that time, which led to the birth of China's first feudal dynasty.
There were two relatively advanced inventions at that time. According to what we know about the historical development process, these inventions could not have appeared at that time. However, during the excavation of the Qin Emperor’s Mausoleum and the Qin Dynasty ancient tombs, it was indeed found that An invention and design that is said to be unique in the world. The first invention was the Qin Nu, which is a weapon similar to a bow and arrow, but its firing rate and range are much stronger than that of a bow and arrow, and its lethality is several times that of a bow and arrow. According to experts' research on the unearthed Qin Nu, the average range of the Qin Nu It is about 300 meters, and the distance that can directly lead to death is about 150 meters, but it is very powerful.
Although Qin Nu cannot be compared with guns, this weapon is undoubtedly the best weapon on the ancient battlefield. It is also because of the help of Qin Nu that the Qin army can win every battle on the battlefield. The crossbow in the West was only invented at the end of the 19th century, so our crossbow is more than two thousand years ahead of the West. This is an invention we are proud of, and we have to thank Qin Shihuang for its creation.
Another invention is the bronze sword. Bronze swords appear in many ancient tombs. However, the average length of bronze swords in the Qin Dynasty tombs is more than 0.8 meters, while most other countries Both are about 0.6 meters. The bronze swords of the Qin Dynasty are not only superior in length, but also have sophisticated forging technology. Many bronze swords were unearthed in the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pit No. 1 and No. 2, which were buried deep underground for more than two thousand years. , but there is no rust on it, and it is still as sharp as iron.
Experts have been conducting research for several years in order to study the secret of the bronze sword's thousand-year durability, and finally proved through experiments that there is a layer of chromium salt compound on the surface of the bronze sword. Once this invention came out, Western countries quickly He plagiarized the research results and applied for a patent in the middle of the last century. What a novelty.
