Zhan Xiaogui continued to look for room by room.

This time, they seem to have come to the Earth Civilization Cold Weapon Museum, which is specially set up by the Zerg Hive.

"Alas! This one is more interesting! Museum of Cold Weapons of the Earth! Shall we go in and have a look? Zhan Xiaogui's daughter-in-law held her son's hand with one hand, and took Zhan Xiaogui's hand with the other and said.

Zhan Xiaogui heard his daughter-in-law's request, and without saying a word, he pushed open the door of the Earth Cold Weapons Museum specially set up by the Zerg Mother's Hive.

The first thing that catches your eye is the rows of stone weapons.

Underneath the rough stone weapon, there is a brief introduction to the stone weapon projected on a screen that resembles a glass table.

Turn the first page of the introduction: "The period of stone weapons began from primitive people learned to make labor tools - stone axes, stone knives, etc., to the Xia Dynasty before the advent of bronze weapons, about five or six hundred thousand years. Judging from the unearthed stone weapons, the oldest weapons in China are made by ancient apes collecting quartz stone, sandstone, Huang stone and other raw materials, and beating and grinding. There are flat, round, square, and various irregular shapes, some with knives, and some in the shape of a school. ”

Page 2: "In that primitive environment of wild beasts, the ancestors of mankind relied on those tools that were both tools of labor and weapons of defense, hunting beasts, slashing and burning, and survived and evolved and developed. By the end of the Paleolithic Age, people were able to make stone spears, javelins, stone axes and other weapons that could be installed with bamboo barrels, and then invented the throwing weapon - bow and arrow.

This fully demonstrated the ingenuity and exquisite skills of the working people in ancient China, and people bid farewell to ignorance and moved towards civilization.

In the Neolithic Age, the manufacturing technology of stone weapons has made great progress, and the variety is increasing day by day. In primitive societies, stone weapons themselves were also tools of labor. At that time, people were among them; With blood relations as a bond, they form tribes.

In order to compete for limited resources for survival or to plunder marriages, there are often armed fights between tribes, and even large-scale wars break out. Due to the needs of war, the labor tools in people's hands have increasingly evolved into weapons, prompting weapons to go out of the primitive period and sell well with labor tools. After entering a class society, war took on the character of a class struggle. It was only then that these combat equipment, with their unique form and special function, evolved into weapons in the true sense of the word, and together with the army, they became the monopoly tools of the ruling class. ”

After a cursory reading of the introduction of these stone weapons, Zhan Xiaogui continued to touch and turn the page on the projection panel, and kept turning back, and the introduction of the bronze weapons and the corresponding pictures appeared.

"The Bronze Weapons Period lasted from the Xia Dynasty to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

This period accompanied the slave society in China, from prosperity to decline.

Under the flourishing of bronze culture in the Shang Dynasty, bronze weapons rose rapidly, and soon became a tool mastered by the slave owners, nobles, scholars, and doctors, and completely replaced the ancient stone weapons, becoming the main weapons equipped in the army in the era of chariot warfare. Ancient bronze was actually an alloy of red copper and silver and tin smelting.

The objects cast from it are blue-gray or blue-green, so they are called "bronze ware". The Bronze Age coincided with a slave society. During these more than 1,600 years of war, the slave-owning aristocratic ruling class of various dynasties used their military power as a pillar to strengthen their autocratic position and conquer the vast number of slaves. So they set up workshops, and the slaves forged large quantities of bronze weapons to equip the army. At that time, the army fought and the hierarchy was very strict. The sons of the noble scholar class were generals or armor soldiers, riding in military chariots, wearing leather armor, and holding bronze spears to gallop on the battlefield.

The slaves could only act as apprentices, holding simple weapons such as staffs, following the chariots left and right, and rushing on foot. With the development of social productive forces, the weapons manufacturing industry is becoming more and more developed. All kinds of bronze weapons such as Ge, Zai, knives, spears, Xiaoguan, and Gongnu have been further advanced and developed.

Especially during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, in the vast plain area, the scale of the war became larger and larger. The princes also expanded the scope of their power in order to compete for localization, and then ascended to the throne of the overlord, sparing no expense. Spend manpower, material and time to forge advanced weapons. ”

Since the bronze weapons are not physically displayed like the stone weapons, the projection profile is equipped with a clear high-resolution color map, which seems to be able to be seen clearly by humans and all living beings on the earth.

Zhan Xiaogui nodded while watching, and continued to flip back on the projection profile, and a Chinese hand-to-hand combat cold weapon appeared: Ge.

Ge is an ancient Chinese stabbing hook pecking long weapon.

It is generally characterized by a short blade with a transverse extension at the end, the blade is facing inward, and a long handle is installed to hook or peck the enemy.

The earliest Ge was developed from primitive tools such as stone knives, stone axes, and stone sickles to stone Ge and bronze Ge. Ge comes in a variety of shapes and sizes.

Ge's specifications are: Ge Guang 2 inches, 7 inches in length, 6 inches in length, 8 inches in length, and 1 kg 14 taels. Handle length 6 feet 6 inches. But in fact, the size of Ge is not uniform. The standard Ge is composed of three parts: the head, the handle, and the bronze honor.

Zhan Xiaogui continued to flip back, and there appeared: spear.

The spear is a long, straight, stabbing weapon with a sharp blade.

Assassination or throwing weapons used by most peoples of the planet in the past in wild hunting and warfare.

Appeared in the Paleolithic period.

The first spears were sharpened clubs, and later spears were fitted with spearheads attached to the shafts. The total length is 1.5-5 meters. Stone spearheads and bone spearheads were used in the Stone Age, and metal spearheads were used from the Bronze Age. The most widespread use of spears was during the Iron Age.

The infantry was armed with heavy and long throwing spears and spears.

In the Middle Ages, cavalry and infantry used spears. The spear was a universal weapon for foot and mounted soldiers, and soldiers usually carried their throwing spears in a cast spear slip.

Spears are mainly edged spearheads made of iron or bronze with finest cast swords.

The head of the spearhead is called the tip of the spear, and the tube of the spearhead that is attached to the shaft of the spear is called the spear helmet. There is a gold pry sleeve at the end of the spear shaft. Most of the japonica with the spear head and spear helmet connected is spherical.

A long-poleed lightweight spear was used in infantry until the advent of spear spikes, and in cavalry until the 30s of the 20th century. In Huaxia, spears are also known as pins and plating, and later evolved into guns. The spear is composed of four parts: the spear split, the remains, the handle, and Wei Zun. The spear split, that is, the part of the spearhead with a blade, has a ridge in the middle line, and some have blood grooves on both sides.

The lower mouth of the blade is a corpse [kettle], and the road is conical. Used to place the handle of the spear. The handle is made of bamboo or wood, and it is 2 zhang or 2 zhang 4 feet long. To prevent the spearhead from falling off, there are often two loops on either side or two small holes left so that the spearhead can be tied to the handle of the spear with a rope or nailed.

There is a (missing word in the original text) at the end of the handle, which is used to insert the ground. Originally, the spearhead was made of pointed stones or bone horns, tied to bamboo and wooden poles, and in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the spearhead was made of bronze, which was divided into two types: chief spear and Yi spear. After the Warring States period, it was changed to iron. Due to the emergence and rise of the spear, the role of the spear weakened, and the spear gradually evolved into a gun after the Jin Dynasty.

……

Zhan Xiaogui quickly finished the introduction of these weapons, and the more he flipped back.

"It seems that this introduction to the projection stone weapon will take a long time to finish." Zhan Xiaogui looked at his son, daughter-in-law and Wang Yueyue a little tiredly.
