The "advanced" weapons found in the Terracotta Warriors are now difficult to imitate, and it is no wonder that the Qin Emperor can sweep the world
Introduction: In 2001, Shaanxi Province organized experts to excavate Pit 4 in the Terracotta Warriors. This time the scale of the excavation is unprecedented, and a large number of rare cultural relics have been found. Among them, the advanced weapons used by Qin Shi Huang's army were even more jaw-dropping. The experts carefully inspected it, and they listed the bronze swords, crossbows, and arrows in the tunnels as the three major weapons of the Qin Kingdom. These devices are so powerful and so well-crafted that even modern technology is difficult to imitate. No wonder Qin Shi Huang was able to sweep the world.
The first is the bronze sword. The bronze sword was originally a product of the Spring and Autumn Period, and the bronze sword of the Yue King was a prestigious treasure in history. However, in the Warring States, only the Qin State was proficient in this technology. In the Terracotta Warriors tunnel, experts found several sharp bronze swords. The sword is exquisitely sharp, and the body is full of resilience. There was a bronze sword that had been crushed under thousands of pounds of terracotta warriors and had been deformed. But when the experts took it out, the sword body miraculously recovered.
Then there's the crossbow. The crossbow is a common weapon, but the crossbow of the Qin State is the most powerful. The bow and crossbow itself was made of pure iron, and then the bow string was made from various animal furs. Once the crossbow is tightened, then its range is very long. In order to prevent oxidation, the surface of the crossbow is also coated with a special coating. After modern chemical process testing, these coatings are rare oxide layers, such a production idea, people are breathtaking.
What is going to be said below is the arrow. There is nothing unusual about the arrows, but the arrows of the Qin people are in the shape of a streamline. The arrows are also made of pure iron and have three sharp corners. Under the light, the arrows are like an awl, and the sharp corners are still extremely sharp. Surprisingly, the weight of the arrows is not large. Compared with its hardness, the weight of the arrow actually fits the construction principle of modern emission mechanics. This is really a law that can only be obtained by practicing everything. It was with these weapons that Qin Shi Huang's troops were invincible. It is worth mentioning that these weapons were already possessed by Qin Mugong, which is exactly the era of the Shang Martingale Transformation Law.
Conclusion: In the late Warring States period, the Qin state was dominant, and the six eastern kingdoms could not match it at all. According to modern historians, they believe that this is all the effect of the Qin state's change of law. The Shang martingale changed the system of the Qin state, which greatly promoted the economic and technological development of the Qin state. The best talents from all over the world gathered in Xianyang one by one, and the best weapons-making skills were also supplemented. I have to say that no matter what era you are in, technology is the first productive force. For today's China, we must pay attention to technology and respect craftsmen.
