Chapter 18 Historical Mystery About "Zhao Wu" (Part 1)

The craftsman is now relaxed. Obviously, he thinks that Zhao Wu's teaching just now has regarded him as a disciple. In the Spring and Autumn Period, there are not many opportunities to be able to impart knowledge. A little bit of knowledge is talent, and he can become a noble and a senior official.

Under this mentality, the craftsman actually began to make suggestions: "Maybe, we have tried the gilding method you mentioned, but unfortunately, this gilding method also has a disadvantage. For example, after melting the bronze with mercury, the copper, tin and lead in the bronze are completely separated - lead is settled at the bottom, tin is floating at the top, and copper is sandwiched in the middle. This kind of gold liquid is applied to the sword..."

Zhao Wu shouted loudly: "I understand, tin-plated!"

Zhao Wu, who reacted, immediately said: "Tin-glazed - copper, tin and lead are separated. This is not the right way. We can plaster both colors on armor. Isn't this using armor as a canvas? Can you apply any pattern on it... Okay, in the future, tin will be plastered on the iron armor sheet, which is both rust-proof and beautiful."

After finding a solution, Zhao Wu looked up at the sky and felt sleepy. He sent the craftsman leader to leave and lay on the couch with a strong sense of sleepiness. Before going to bed, his final consciousness was: "Did I accidentally change the technology? Modern people will be puzzled when they see this history and see these sudden technologies?"

Zhao Wu, who had fallen asleep, didn't know that in his original time and space, people were also very puzzled by the history of this period. Their focus was on a very strange year - 476 BC.

This happened to be a full hundred years after Zhao Wu arrived in this world.

In 476 BC, some new technologies emerged strangely, near 476 BC, such as the compass made of natural magnets - Sinan; bronze knives cast by stack casting; steelmaking and quenching technology; in addition, bronze ratchet gears (diameter 25 mm, 40 teeth) were found in Shanxi, and iron ratchet gears appeared in Yongji County, Shanxi. Modern hatchery that suddenly appeared in poultry breeding, such as "Duck City" and "Jibei", appeared in China's earliest professional duck farms and chicken farms, etc.

The above scientific and technological advances all appeared in the neighboring areas of Jin or Jin. In addition, there are the invention of ladders, pulleys, ink buckets, saws, crossbows, curved rulers, ink buckets, planes, chisels, mills, mills, locks, drills and other instruments, as well as the principle of small hole imaging, the explanation of the principle of leverage, and dialectical materialism, etc.

Modern archaeology shows that these known Spring and Autumn techniques all come from the same year: 476 BC.

What makes people wonder most is that these new technologies seem to have emerged suddenly. Before this, people have not found a record of the birth and development of these new technologies - they were not born from the technology tree. The cultural relics unearthed from the tombs show that in 476 BC, the direct mature and molded technologies presented to people were directly presented to them.

What’s even more strange is that shortly afterwards, some of these technologies suddenly disappeared, as if they had never appeared before, and they were never mentioned later. It was entirely up to archaeological excavation that modern people knew that they had appeared in the spring and autumn - for example, the aforementioned professional breeding technology that uses modern incubation technology: "Duck City" and "Jibei" technology.

How did these technologies come about? Are they grafted? Is it transplanted?

Where did its birth, development, and gradual maturity go?

Many years later, people have argued about the reasons for the technological leap in the Spring and Autumn Period.

Among them, the reasoning faction believes that the era when these new technologies emerged in large quantities was exactly the era of drastic changes in Chinese society. During this period, the borders between vassal states changed very fiercely. The war between countries quickly jumped from a level of 100,000 that people could imagine before to a one-million-level battle. The war also lasted from the previous three or two days to a month, New Year's Eve, and even for more than ten years.

Due to this violent war destruction; the subsequent Hu people invaded China, Shanxi was a severely affected area; the serious tomb robbery in Shanxi; the random destruction of ignorant villagers, etc., most of the tombs at that time were destroyed, and only single-digit tombs were passed down and were excavated by modern people. Therefore, the development process of Spring and Autumn technology did not happen to be preserved.

Finally, the technological fault phenomenon seen by modern people is presented.

Regarding this matter, salivating people who hold another view called the "humanistic school". They believe that these new technologies appear near Jin State, which shows that Jin State can dominate the Spring and Autumn Period for two hundred years is not for no reason. All these achievements only further confirm a simple truth-technology is the primary productive force.

The "Humanistic School" believes that the history we see now is tampered with by later Confucian scholars. Confucian theory believes that all achievements in history are the result of Confucian "civilization, governance and martial arts" and there is no component of technological progress or productivity improvement. While they advocate this theory, if there is a gap between the real history and their theory, they will delete and modify the history according to their own theory and remove all content that does not meet their wishes.

Therefore, "history" in turn proves the correctness of the Confucian theory; thus, "history" has become the phenomenon we see now; therefore, not only the technical faults in the Spring and Autumn Period, but also the "history" of China is everywhere in "history" that is not in line with the scientific and technological faults...

The views put forward by the "Salute Party" of the above two factions seem to be true, but they have no evidence. Among them, the first faction is: coincidence, and the second point of view is: deleted... Since these two factions are difficult to convince, a third faction appeared. They are just making trouble with others sincerely, so this faction is called the "Salute Party".

"The trick-and-treat" said: "The first two groups of people said it wrong. We know the real reason. Let me tell you - someone has traveled through time! There is a bad guy who quietly traveled through the Spring and Autumn Period and secretly passed on the technology that transcends the times to the people at that time. This is the truth of history and the real reason why those scientific and technological achievements suddenly appeared."

The troublemakers believe that looking at this Spring and Autumn era, there are three people who are most suspicious. According to the time when strange technologies appear, they are Zhao Yang, Gongshu and Mozi. Because Zhao Yang's iron execution tripod, Gongshu's artificial powered aircraft, and Mozi's trans-age theory, none of them have a master's origin. In the Spring and Autumn Period without "Pinyin", no "broadcast", no "TV University", no dictionary, and no "online school", those three guys suddenly gained scientific and technological knowledge beyond the times without their teacher, which is very suspicious...
