Chapter 413 Museum-style parade
"The way of heaven is constant, not for Yao, not for Yao, not for ruin."
The laws of this world exist objectively, and they will not exist because of Tang Yao's sage, nor will they disappear because of Xia Yao's tyranny.
It will not exist because it has been interpreted by the saints, nor will it die because it has not been discovered by the saints. As for the saints who have not discovered all the truth, then they can only accept the irony of the word "saint".
It will not exist because someone wrote the I Ching or the Analects, nor will it die because it has not been written into similar books. Books that only record some of the Heavenly Dao are inevitably biased in their contents. As for saying that there is a heavenly way in a certain book, that is, of course, even more nonsense. The emperor's great works, such as the Encyclopedia Britannica, do not dare to say that they contain all the laws and truths of the world.
As a result, the scholars and doctors, who were not diligent and did not distinguish between grains and grains, were soon shocked by the things that appeared on the follow-up floats one after another.
"So, what's that?"
"What?"
"Why have you never seen that knife next to the bow and arrow?"
"That's the kind of scraper that you only use when you're working with leather."
If it weren't for the constant introduction by someone next to her, even Zhai Xinyi, who had traveled from the 21st century, would not have recognized what it was. Fortunately, in the broadcast signal played on the mobile phone, the voice of the narrator appeared from the beginning.
Just now, it was the two commentators who explained what appeared on the second truck as if they were talking about cross talk.
Tian Yinqi is no longer huddled with Zhai Xinyi on a small screen to watch the broadcast, he is hearty, he went to borrow a pair of binoculars from Zhao Zhen, and under Zhao Zhen's click, he quickly knew how to use this thing.
Now, he could clearly see everything on the floats that were slowly passing by on the road in front of him, and as long as it was within the viewing angle, it would not escape his curious eyes.
On the second car, along with the scraper, there is also a leather cover made using embossing. Of course, this cover was used as a protective skin for the scroll, but later it was made in a variety of beautiful styles by embossing and other techniques. Although the leather cover did not change much from the Middle Ages onwards, it did not slowly disappear from the hands of scholars until the nineteenth century.
Another important exhibit is the famous parchment roll. This thing carried Western civilization through the darkest period and finally won the light after the Renaissance. Unfortunately, he was quickly abandoned by the new-minded literati, who had already taken over its place by then.
Now, he is synonymous with ancient and mystical texts.
The third float is lined with some of the older textile machinery.
Under the introduction of the narrator, most people's eyes focused on a spinning shelf. It is said to be an ancient machine reconstructed from pictures in Lettrel's hymn collection, and was used to weave wool.
Then there were some cotton textile tools from the Roman period. At that time, cotton was already widely cultivated in Malta. It is hateful that more than a thousand years later, the country that likes to advertise how many years ahead of the West has begun to consciously grow cotton.
At the same time, some interesting furniture was also on display. For example, the Greek chair with a pure Greek design. This guy looks more like a hybrid of a chair and a maza. The overall silhouette looks like a chair, but the place where the butt is placed is similar to that of a maza. It's just that the rope they use is made of cowhide.
Immediately after that, various vessels, carvings, and some chemicals from the pre-scientific era, such as the old alum pot, appeared in front of everyone. Straight to the head of Zero and his entourage shouted: "This is the theatrical performance of the founding ceremony, it is simply a mobile version of the museum." ”
But he couldn't laugh for the rest of the day, because the second was a float with a lot of smelting tools, or tool models, with strong traces of modern times.
Chief Zero is no stranger to many of these things. Metallurgy, with the help of quantitative chemistry and other sciences, has entered an era of rapid development since the publication of Eck's epoch-making book, which is known as a brilliant name.
Now in front of Chief Zero is not only the Stickefen furnace, but also the wooden box bellows invented by Rossinger, and the narrator also mentions Celler's carburizing process.
This means that the smelting industry of the Great Viet Kingdom has reached the level of the 17th century, and the subsequent stream of floats may have something more worrying than this.
For example, Saint-Rémy's mentioned iron cannon was forged in a twenty-foot-tall blast furnace. With this thing, combined with the obvious demographic advantage, perhaps the Western armies of the eighteenth century would have become vulnerable to them.
At the very least, they can make bronze guns. This is simpler than an iron cannon, and it may be possible to quickly arm a powerful army on a mass-produced assembly line.
However, Chief Zero quickly calmed down. He suddenly remembered that the Great Yue Kingdom was still responsible for smelting gold coins. It seems that the smelting technology of such a country should not be so surprising. The list of goldsmiths of the seventeenth century is of interest to almost all the areas of curiosity of goldsmiths of the twentieth century.
Since the craftsmanship of iron-making and copper casting has entered the level of the seventeenth century, the craftsmanship of the goldsmiths may be comparable to the craftsmanship of the goldsmiths who tinkered with gold bricks during the gold standard.
The model of the windmill that will be shown next is an ancient version from three or four hundred years ago, but it can already meet the basic needs of use. As early as the eleventh and twelfth centuries in the southeastern region of our country, there were already similar devices. It's just that we didn't pay attention to this technology later, so that it failed to benefit the capitalists in the embryonic period of industry and commerce extensively. This became one of the many microcosms of how we have been surpassed by the West.
The various farmhouses that followed did not attract the attention of Chief Zero. Wheeled trenching ploughs have now been replaced by many agricultural machinery. That kind of inefficient labor tool is unlikely to pose a threat to the productivity of the splendid country.
But the heart of the leader of Zero did not last long, because the dozen or so floats behind him wanted to show something closer to the modern productive forces. If it's just a model, if it's a real machine, or even if they already have the mass manufacturing capability of this kind of machine, then maybe they have to change their attitude.
