Chapter 223 Guidance for the Development of Science and Technology

readx;?? Zhang Jiashi's understanding of science and technology can be said to be far beyond anyone in this era in a sense. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 infoβˆŸβ˜…ε…«βˆŸβ˜…ε…«βˆŸβ˜… Read∟ β˜… book, .2β–²3.o" Of course, this is due to his identity as an out-and-out traverser.

In this regard, although Zhang Jiashi has an impulse to climb to the sky in one step for many technologies with great leaps and bounds, there is one thing that Zhang Jiashi himself cannot deny, that is, the problem that can be solved is not a problem.

It's like in "Heavenly Creations: Good Soldiers", there are many technologies that Zhang Jiashi thinks can't be done or don't have much meaning:

Song Zi said: Soldiers are not saints. Yu Shun reigned for fifty years, and there was Miao Yufu rate. Ming King and Holy Emperor, who can go to the army? "The advantage of the arc arrow, to power the world", its origin is still in place. For the old family, there is Ge Tian's thoughts. The words say: "The good soldier is the ominous weapon." "Gai Yan is cautious.

The know-how of gunpowder machinery was first chiseled from the West and the South, and then to China. Ever-changing, the day is full of new moons. In China today, the people who are the ones who are fighting think that they are the first righteousness, how can they be so?

Where to make a bow, bamboo and horn are the middle dry (there is no bamboo in the northeast, and soft wood is for it), and mulberry branches are two slightly. Relaxation is the inner body of the bamboo, and the horn protects the outside, while the angle of the zhang is inward and the bamboo is outward. Bamboo one and two corners, mulberry is its end of the wedge, to receive the string 5, its original is through the tenon in the bamboo, and the light cut side to stick the corner.

Where to make a bow, first cut a piece of bamboo (bamboo should be cut in autumn and winter, decayed in spring and summer), the middle waist is slightly small, the difference between the two ends is large, about two feet long. One side of the adhesive is at the corner, and the other side is paved with beef tendon and glue to solidify. The horns are connected with the teeth (there are no slender horns on the north side, so they are tied with four horns.) The wide bow is also used by the cattle and the horns, not only the buffalo also), and the glue is solid. The rubber is solid with birch bark, and the name is a warm target. Where the birch pass is produced in Liaoyang, the northern soil is multiplied and Zunhua, and the west is multiplied by Lintao County, Fujian, Guangzhou, and Zhejiang. Its skin protector is like a soft hand, so it must be used for bow targets. That is, the handle of the knife and the dry of the gun, which are also needed. The thinnest of them is the scabbard chamber.

Where the backbone of the cow is a square of tendons, about thirty taels. Kill and dry, re-soak in water, and break like ramie silk. There is no silk in the north, and the bowstrings are entangled with this thing. The Chinese used it to pave the bow stem, and the slingshot string for cotton. Where the glue is made of fish belly and miscellaneous intestines, the decoction treatment mostly belongs to Ningguo County, its East China Sea totoaba fish, Zhejiang to make white fish, take its belly as glue, strong than gold and iron. In the north, the sea fish is fried, which is no different from that of China, and the species is different. Born with a number of things, it is not accidental that a good bow cannot be made without one.

Where the bow is made, after the initial billet is made, the beam pavilion in the placement room is placed, and the ground is not separated from the fire. Urging the ten days, more than two months, dry its fluid, and then remove the polishing, re-reinforcement, glue and lacquer, then its bow is very good. If you can't meet the foot of the day, then he will explain the cause of the trouble.

Where the bowstring feeds on the cocoon of the leaf silkworm, its silk is tougher. Each one is made of more than 20 silk threads as bones, and then wrapped horizontally with threads. The silk is divided into three stops, and the space is one or two points apart from seven inches, so when the string does not open the bow, it can be folded three times and collected. The bowstring in the north of the past is made of cow tendons, so the rain and fog in the summer moon hinder its liberation and do not infringe. Nowadays, silk strings are also widespread. Coated strings or yellow wax, or not used is also harmless. Where the bow is slightly tied to the place, or cut the thickest cowhide, or cut soft wood such as a small chess piece, nail the glued corner end, the name is called the pad string, the meaning is the same as the qin. When the strings return, the male force is inward, and it has to be resisted, otherwise it will be damaged.

Whoever makes a bow regards the strength of manpower as the priority. On the strength of one hundred and twenty pounds, after this is the tiger power, and it is not counted. The middle force is reduced by two or three tenths, and the lower force is half of it. When it's full, it's all right. But the battle array is thorough, and the credit will go to the strong. And if the force can penetrate the louse, it will win by skill. Where to test the bow force, step on the string on the ground, weigh the hook to hang the bow waist, when the string is full, push the weight hammer to press, then know how much. Its initial material is divided into two, then the upper force to pull the strong, when the horn and bamboo pieces are sharpened, about seven taels. Tendons and glue, lacquer and winding about silk rope, about eight dollars, this is rough. The medium force is minus 12/10, and the lower force is minus 2/3 out of 10.

Where into a bow, the most mildew wet when hiding (mildew first south and then north, Lingnan valley rain, Jiangnan Xiaoman, Jiangbei June, Yan, Qi July. However, Huai and Yang mildew are unique). The soldier's house or set the kitchen, oven, the day with charcoal fire under it (spring and autumn fog and rain, not only mildew). If the pawn does not have a kitchen, he will settle on the stove. A little lazy and industrious, and immediately suffered from the problem of decay (in recent years, the southern provinces have been ordered to build bows and solve the north, and they have been rejected, and they don't know why they are bad from the fire, and no one has to say this chapter).

Where the arrow, bamboo in the south of China, willow in the north, birch in the north, with different directions. The rod is two feet long, the rod is one inch long, and its large end is also. Where the bamboo arrow cuts four or three bamboos, glue them, and cut them through the knife and round them. Lacquer and silk are wound at about two ends, and the name is "three uneven" arrow shafts. Zhejiang and Guangnan have the generation of arrows and bamboos, not broken. The willow and birch are taken from the round straight branches, and they are scraped at a slight expense. Where bamboo arrows are straightened, there is no need to be pretentious. The wooden pole must be bent when it is dry, and when it is sharpened, it is carved with a few inches of wood, and the name is called the arrow end. The wooden pole was dragged inch by inch, and its body was straight. That is, the beginning and the end are light and heavy, and they also stop from the end.

Where the arrow is called, the mouth of the original moment is to drive the string, and the end of it is receiving. Where the iron smelting for it ("Yu Gong" stone is a square object, not applicable) in the north such as the tip of the peach leaf gun, the Guangnan Li people such as a plane shovel, China is a triangular pyramid elephant. The sound of the arrow is based on the cone eye in the air of the inch wood, and the arrow flies through the wind, that is, the so-called "roaring arrow" in the "Zhuangzi".

Where the arrows are oblique and slow, the tricks are all tied to the feathers at the end. The arrow is cut near the title and sticks straight to three, which is three inches long, and the foot is settled, and it is glued with glue, and the name is called the arrow feather (this glue is also avoided mildew and wet, so the general will be on duty, and the arrow is also baked by fire from time to time). The feathers are on the eagle (the eagle is big like an eagle, the tail is long and the wings are short), the horned eagle is second, and the harrier is second. The southern arrowmakers, the eagle is hopeless, that is, the eagle and the harrier are also rare goods, and they urgently use the number of stoppers, that is, the goose feather, and even the goose feather. Where the eagle feather arrow is faster than the eagle and the harrier feather more than ten steps, and the upright can resist the wind. The feather arrows in the north are more than this. The eagle and the harrier are also in a trance. If the quality of geese and geese is released, the hand should not be hearty, and there are many people who slanted in the wind. The south arrow is not as good as the north, so it is also divided.

All crossbows are weapons for guarding the camp, which is not conducive to marching in battle. The straight one is famous, the one who weighs the wings, and the crossbow teeth and strings are famous. Chop wood for the body, about two feet long, the head of the body is tied to the wings. At the vacancy wing, go to the surface to engrave a point (a little thicker, the string should not be knotted), and to back the score regardless of the score. The surface is slightly carved with a straight groove to hold the arrow. Its wings are named as a soft wood, and the power is the strongest. Or under a tree with bamboo pieces stacked (its bamboo is a short piece), the name of the three-brace crossbow, or five braces, seven braces and stop. The lower body is cut off with a string, and its string is a live nail machine, and the string is removed. When winding, the only force is to see. A person who steps on a strong crossbow and strings the string, the name of the "Book of Han" is "Zhang Cai Guan". The string sends the arrow to the line, and its speed is incomparable.

All crossbow strings are made of ramie, wound with goose feathers, and coated with yellow wax. The upper wing of the string is tight, and it is still loose when put down, so the goose feather can be extremely head and tail in the rope. The crossbow arrow feather is made of a hoop leaf. Break the arrow, and entangle it in it. When it shoots fierce beast medicine arrows, it is boiled into thick glue and dipped in the arrow blade. If you see a wisp of blood, you will die, and people and animals will be the same. Where the bow and arrow are strong, walk more than 200 steps, and the strongest crossbow arrow stops at 50 steps, that is, it is close at hand, and can not wear Lu Mian. However, it is ten times as fast as a bow, and twice as deep as it is in the object.

The weapons of the national dynasty made the crossbow of the god arm and the crossbow of defeating the enemy, all of which fired two arrows and three arrows at the same time. There is also a Zhuge crossbow, which is carved with a straight groove, and the ten arrows of the letter are inherited, and its wings are taken from the softest wood. Another machine wood, with the hand to pull the string up, send an arrow, and the groove fell another arrow, then pull the wood on the string and send. Although ingenious work, but its strength is very strong, and it is only more than 20 steps. This is a private house stealing tool, not a military weapon. The name of the mountain man who shoots the beast is called the nest crossbow, settles the Qu of the trace, leads the line next to the machine, and the beast passes, and shoots it with hair. One shot, one beast.

......

In terms of the production content of the bow and crossbow, Zhang Jiashi has practiced accordingly, in addition to the production technology described in "Heavenly Creations" in terms of arrows, it does have considerable advantages, and in terms of bow production with more content, the performance is actually not as good as the strong bow used now.

Zhang Jiashi didn't know what this situation was, but he was able to speculate that it was very likely that the ancient bow and arrow making technology was in fact quite mature, even no less than that of the Ming Dynasty.

As for whether it is because of the loss of technology, Zhang Jiashi is really not easy to judge at this point.

However, strictly speaking, the weapons of the Ming Dynasty were many strange in a sense, which can be seen from part of the description of the "Wubei Zhi":

"Wood fire beast, made of light wood, four beast feet under the frame, three feet high, five feet two inches long, four feet on four wheels, the body is made of bamboo strips, paper paste inside and outside, painted with color images, repainted with white bamboo (alum), hidden two cigarette bottles in the ears, bamboo spray cans in the mouth, four eyes on the left and right chests, and gunpowder and lead inside. The medicine line is connected, all from the back, with one person to stand up, charge to surprise the enemy, and take advantage of the chaos to attack. ”

Judging from the situation of the Wood Fire Beast, Zhang Jiashi thinks that this thing, as the equipment of the regular army, is more of a joke, if the enemy covers it with a rain of arrows that ignite the fire, and does not engage in melee combat at all, this thing will not have any effect at all.

Zhang Jiashi had to vomit in his heart: "Are you sure this thing is not against civilians, but for combat?"

"The fire ox is made of bent wood as a frame, covered with cloth to cover the shape of the ox, and uses this frame as the foundation, but it grows from the frame to build. There are three layers of front and back, the artillery line is connected, the sharp blade is inserted on all sides, covered with a red cloth curtain, which is encircled by the inferior fire of the cow's neck, belly and tail bolt, so that people secretly lead the enemy camp, or attack and defend in a hurry, and light the three inferior fires. ”

This is an upgraded version of the design of the fire ox, but in the Ming Dynasty, this thing was used by ordinary people, and for the military formation with a strict system, these fire cows are undoubtedly the best choice for adding food.

Zhang Jiashi vomited: "There are so many ploughing cattle in the Ming Dynasty that they are fed by whom?"

Rocket slip is one of the highest achievements of the Ming Dynasty single firearms, invented by Zhao Shizhen, a famous firearms expert during the Wanli period, this device fires not ordinary projectiles but small rockets, not only the power is amazing, the accuracy is also very high, the inventor proudly claims that "with this device, the rocket will never have the trouble of diagonal rush", its technical content far exceeds the European musket that can only shoot small lead pellets in the same era.

This one thing, Zhang Jiashi will not spit out anything, especially the so-called accuracy, Zhang Jiashi can only say heheda.

"Thunder in the ground, ambush the Divine Fire Law underground. Where the thief arrived, he dug three feet deep in the ground, ambushed the divine artillery, and the fire was filled with a black basin and placed on the cannon, and the medicine line was always on the top, similar to the fire, and the black basin was connected to the gun and knife shaft, and it was still covered with soil and did not show its traces. The handle of the gun is stuck straight into the ground, and when the thief sees his weapon, he will shake it and pull it up, and the fire will be poured on the medicine line, and all the fire will be fired in unison, and the sound will be like thunder. Burning and shelling, smoke drilling thief holes, blood gushing marrow, unconscious and falling to the ground, can be captured without exerting troops. This thief's magic is also!"

Zhang Jiashi did not spit out the performance of this kind of mine, but spit out its combat target.

Is it possible that even those who have sufficient supplies will not do such a thing that would be interesting to do it......

"The water spray can, with green bamboo as the tube, three feet long, open the joint, one end of the knot, with iron wire tight, one end of the knot drilled a hole, with a bamboo strip, cotton head, the tube put the potion in the bamboo strip to soak it, when the bamboo strip is sprayed back and forth, with the meat, that is, rotten bones. ”

"Water-soaked medicines: Sichuan Wu, Caowu, Nanxing, Banxia, wolf venom, each two taels of listening, first two buckets of lime, a bucket of boiling water into the juice, decoction of several rolls, to the medicine plus two taels of cream, two taels of red arsenic, two taels of sand, two taels of class cat (note: that is, "cantharid", a poisonous insect) two taels, two taels of alum, four taels of silver rust, a total of the end, stir well in the pre-potion and listen to it. ”

Well, this bioweapon...... Zhang Jiashi really said that he couldn't vomit, even if he was interested, he had to think about a situation, that is, how corrosive this thing is, and how long it will be used, there will only be a leakage accident.

"Wooden people riding live horses can break through the enemy's strong formations. Make a human shape of wood, decorated with a crown, decorated with a statue of a god, three feet high, nine inches high head, two feet wide at the bottom, one foot five inches wide at the top, with a bamboo tube in the center, until the wooden people are Qi, the diameter is one inch and five minutes, and the surrounding drill holes are drilled around each two inches, a total of fifteen layers, seven eyes per layer, and a total of one hundred and five eyes to the top. The body is left with holes on three sides and the inner closure, the hole is the god of the arrow god sand god fire, the mouth and the two eyes of the three god sand, the top of the two big guns, the rocket, the front of the god sand, the back of the door. Anbi mended, rode on the horse, one hand forward and the other hand backward, an empty stomach near the spine An a large watermelon cannon, alum boiled and brushed the horse drawer, and did not burn the horse's back. After the wooden man, the medicine line is connected through the body, the horsetail is cut clean, and the gunpowder is bagged with no incense and gunpowder, such as money (money) thick, and the horsetail root is bound. The left and right sides of the horse are clamped with two guns, and the wooden man wears a horse chewing ring in front of his legs. The horse's head is one foot long, so that the horse cannot turn its head straight forward. The outer cloth is wrapped with salt (salt) and placed in the mouth of the horse. The lower system is a smoke miasma cloud medicine gun, like Tai Chi. Two eyes, three sand arrows in the mouth, a total of one hundred and eight arrows on the body, according to the number of heaven, earth and stars. A shot in the center, with the image mixed element. Two guns are clamped between horses, and two instruments are like two instruments. ”

"Day or night, our battalion changed color, led the horse secret to the enemy camp, first lit the wooden man and then the medicine line, then lit the horsetail fire belt, and then lit the cloud fire under the belly. The main general will sing: "Go quickly!" that is, return to the camp, do not look back. The horse caught fire and only rushed forward to the wooden man's back hand medicine line to the top of the fire, and the horse was covered with colorful clouds, and he regarded it as a god; The sound of the cannon at the bottom shook like thunder, the wooden people were shattered, the shelling was so that the arrows flew and injured the people and horses, our soldiers climbed high and looked far away, and the camp was in turmoil, leading the army to attack. He also covered the horse's head with a forehead guard to prevent sand from entering the horse's eye. β€œ

This thing can be used during a sneak attack, but the sneak attack depends on the situation...... Besides, what Zhang Jiashi really wanted to vomit was, when did the Ming army have such a surplus of horses? Moreover, they were military horses that had been trained accordingly.

It can be said that the development of science and technology should not be blindly followed, but has a more subjective pros and cons as a premise. [To be continued.] ]
