Chapter Twenty-Nine: A Wonderful Trick

Bob said: "This time, I'll say first, Mr. Su, don't talk first, don't steal my lines." "There is no opinion on the part of the people.

Bob said: "In the minds of the Chinese, Zhuge Liang is the embodiment of wisdom, and this martial marquis, who is good at domestic affairs and strategy, has also left many mysteries in history, one of which is his manufacturing skills. Then he began to speak at length.

The official history "Three Kingdoms, Shu Zhi, Zhuge Liang Biography" commented: "Brightness is longer than ingenuity, profit and loss crossbows, wooden oxen and horses, all out of their own minds." Deduction of the art of war, making eight formations, salty and worthy of the clouds. "All the above productions are indeed Kong Ming's handiwork, and it can be boldly speculated that Kong Ming's

It is likely that the mechanical technique was inherited from Mozi and Luban during the Warring States period, and it was improved to become an amazing ancient technology.

Let's look at the repeater first, in the 104th chapter of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Kong Ming passed this weapon to Jiang Wei before his death, and the book said, "Its law is eight inches long, and a crossbow can be ten rounds." "The Spring and Autumn Period of the Han Jin Dynasty" also has an explanation of "saying that Yuan Rong is called and iron is the arrow". From this, it can be inferred that the size of this weapon

When Kong Ming went out of the Northern Expedition of Qishan, because of the difficult and dangerous road, he did not use it to equip the troops, so it was not used for actual combat, and it was not produced in batches in Shu until Zhuge Liang died. Because of the extremely lethal power of the crossbow, it was used as a weapon to defend the city

It is ideal. Later, when Zhong Hui led a large army to attack Shu, Zhuge Liang's repeater played a huge role. Strangely, what has been handed down to this day is a small bow and arrow with a crossbow and an arrow, and Wuhou's ten-arrow crossbow mysteriously disappeared.

Now someone has restored the Zhuge repeater, which can fire ten arrows in a row, I don't know if the historical Zhuge repeater is like this, or it shoots ten arrows at a time. Some archaeologists have found a crossbow that can fire two arrows at a time in the ancient tombs of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, if ten arrows are fired at a time, then

Its power is bound to be small and small, and its range will not exceed a few tens of meters.

Bob went on to say, "Everybody knows about the Wooden Ox and the Horse. ”

The wooden ox and flowing horse only appeared in the 102nd chapter of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", that is, when Kong Ming came out of Qishan Mountain, and in the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms", there is a record of the grain and grass of Kong Ming's fourth northern expedition in the ninth year of the founding of the Shu Han Dynasty (231 AD), and even involves the production method and size ratio

Example. The book says that the wooden ox and the horse are a tool that "carries more and travels less", "the person walks six feet, the ox walks four steps, and each ox carries a month's grain for dozens of people, and the people do not work much, and the cattle do not eat." "As later generations fantasize, we want the horses to run fast, but also to keep the horses from grazing.

Bob said: "There are many reconstructed versions of the Wooden Ox Flowing Horse, and we have no way of verifying which version is the closest to history. ”

Zhuge Liang was an expert in mechanical engineering, and his wife Huang was also an inventor, and there is an interesting story in folklore that she invented a wooden man that could be used to push the grinder, and as long as the mechanism was activated, the wooden man tirelessly pushed the stone mill. If

If the legend is true, then this wooden man will become the first robot in human history.

The fat man said: "What do you say have to do with this ink word, it's a bunch of nonsense." ”

Bob let out a long breath and said, "Whew, I'm done, Professor Su, you can say it." ”

Professor Su pushed his glasses: "Actually, this is an ink word, what does ink represent, color?" Name? It is not the person who produces graphite, but the Mo family among the hundred sons. ”

After hearing this, the fat man said, "Oh, Mo family? How did the Mo family run away from Bashu. ”

Professor Su said: "This is the Mo family, is it very simple, the Mo family helped Bashu build a tomb, it is normal, and the Mo family's mechanical skills are famous all over the world." ”

Frank said: "The mechanics of the public loss class are also famous all over the world, and the battle between the public loss class and Mozi is like the confrontation between the Soviet Union and the United States, Portugal and Spain, England and France. ”

The fat man said, "It's useless for you to say this. ”

Professor Su continued: "In fact, gliders are not new to modern history, it has been recorded in ancient China's slave society, the earliest to arrive was the big paper kite, and the later model was improved. ”

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Lu Ban was engaged in the great construction and tool invention, and also invented a kind of "wooden kite" that can fly in the sky, this flying wooden bird should be the ancestor of the aircraft.

In foreign countries, archaeologists have also seen aircraft carvings from stone walls. On the mountains of western Iran, Luo Linsheng found an inscription on the rock wall, showing a god sitting in a chariot in the air. Pyramids at the bottom of the Bermuda Triangle. Stone statues on Easter Island

These things, which the ancients could not accomplish in the eyes of modern people, some of them really exist. The god who rides in the chariot has scientists speculated to be alien flying machines. The underwater pyramids of the Bermuda Triangle are speculated by scientists to have been built by aliens. It is also said that it was built by a prehistoric civilization or an ancient civilization

Probably the biggest is Atlantis. Others say it was an undersea base built by the United States. Stone statues on Easter IslandRecently, scientists have found that only part of the surface of the stone statues is still under the earth, and some stone statues have been dug up entirely.

I said, "Actually, I don't think you can blindly listen to scientists, but you can't ignore them, you have to have an opinion, just like the art of war, you have to use the art of war, but you can't be used by the art of war." I think that some of these things were made by ancient people, and some were made by prehistoric civilizations, and

Some were created by aliens or other primates. Or maybe there are aliens to guide the ancients. ”

Alice gave me a thumbs up and smiled and said, "Well, haha, I agree with Xiao Wu's point of view." ”

Professor Su continued, "Because of the war, many of the ancient Chinese techniques were used in military affairs. “

The most typical is Zhuge Liang's Eight Arrays, which are recorded in many historical books, and the most detailed is in the eighty-fourth chapter of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", after Lu Xun strayed into the Eight Arrays, he "made a big wind, flew sand and stones", and ended up in a fiasco. In the "Commentary on the Book of Water", it is concluded that "the eight formations are completed,

From now on, the teacher will not be defeated. It shows that this formation is indeed very powerful, because it not only has the usual military elements, but also seems to have many esoteric metaphysics, which are divided into eight formations: "life, death, shock, injury, scene, opening, rest, and Du", and can "change into Zhou Tian."

Three hundred and sixty-five" is unique in the history of world warfare.

I said, "Qimen Dunjia seems to know a lot about Zhuge Liang. “

Professor Su nodded: "Well, Zhuge Lian's Eight Formations are derived from Qimen Dunjia, and the Qimen Dunjia Formation is the earliest formation. “

Professor Su said: "Qimen Dunjia contains a lot of things, the formation is only one of them, Zhuge Liang only understands a part of Qimen Dunjia, plus his ingenuity has the Shu Kingdom, and only then can Liu Bei be called the emperor." “

As an important part of ancient Chinese culture, some of the techniques of ancient Chinese institutions have been passed down to the present day and become the cornerstone of our modern science and technology. And many have been lost, lost in the vastness of history.

There are some in Mozi:

1. The ballista is seen in "Mozi Bei Gao Lin". The crossbow cart is a kind of large crossbow arrow that can be released at the same time on the city wall, and there are countless small crossbow arrows in a large mechanical device, which needs to be driven by ten people, and the most ingenious is that the tail of the crossbow arrow with a length of ten feet is tied with a rope, and it can be shot out

Quickly roll up with a roller and retract.

2. The transmissor is seen in "Mozi Beicheng Gate". The ramjet is also a large transmitter placed on the city wall, six feet long, operated by two people, and unlike the repeater, the ram is more flexible, allowing one person to shoot arrows while the other person rotates the frame.

3. Borrowed by car is seen in "Mozi Beicheng Gate". The exterior of the car is covered with iron, and part of it is buried in the ground, and it is a machine that can project charcoal fire, which is controlled by multiple people to defend against enemy siege teams.

"Qimen Dunjia" contains some ancient chariot production methods, which were later used by people to fight.

Mechanism Sorcerer "Wind and Snow Dingling", "Han Old Yi", "Mozi", "Mozi, Beigaolin", "Mozi, Beigaolin", "Mozi, Beichengmen", and "Mozi: Beichengmen". "Qimen Dunjia" contains some ancient chariot production methods, "Tiangong Kaiwu" records agriculture and

Handicraft production technology, for the "encyclopedia ancestor".

The fat man said: "Old man, we have understood what you said, what does this have to do with the Mo family, if you talk about this useless again, don't blame me for turning my face." “

I said, "Fatty, Professor Su talks about the great truth of knowledge, and we laymen are also more and more kind to listen to it, how can we turn our faces." “

The fat man said with an angry face, "I've heard enough of this." “

I walked up to the fat man and whispered: "Professor Su and Bob are all about knowledge, and besides, these two people are old people who know the third uncle, they are both highly respected, you know." “

The fat man nodded and said no more, although there was anger, but the fire was extinguished, and there was only a trace of anger.
