China is worthy of being one of the world's four major ancient civilizations, with countless historical and cultural heritage, of course, there are many historical miracles that we have not found, among which the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shi Huang, Sanxingdui ruins, etc. are archaeological excavations, and the excavation of these ancient sites at that time undoubtedly shocked domestic and foreign countries.
In addition to these historical wonders, there are still many more that still need to be excavated bit by bit by our descendants, well, we begin today's theme. Do you know when the world's first railway appeared? It appeared in England in 1825, and in 1881, our China, the first railway was called the "Tangxu Railway".
Does it mean that the UK was the world's first railway? Maybe everyone thought so before, but what we must tell you today is that in fact, the world's first railway is our China, and it is also the Qin Dynasty period 2000 years ago, I believe that everyone has felt a little surprised at this time!
Just a few years ago, in a remote mountain village in Henan, a villager accidentally found a big surprise when he was on the mountain, and when he was walking, he was tripped by a raised place, and at that time, the villagers fell to their deaths, thinking that what a stone it was, but it turned out to be a very strange wood.
And under careful inspection, there are actually neatly arranged wood here, and the size and thickness are similar, it seems to be very similar to our modern railway, and it was not long before the villagers found the wood "railway" The news spread to the local cultural relics bureau in Henan.
At that time, archaeologists followed the villager to find the site where the railway was discovered, and after the archaeological team surveyed, it was found that it was really a "railway" and a relic from the Qin Dynasty 2,000 years ago.
So what follows is, of course, a series of questions, such as how did this 2000 railway survive to the present? Indeed, when it was found at that time, this "railway" was still almost complete, although it was damaged, but it was still very well protected as a whole, was it related to the wooden structure?
Experts say that this "railway" actually gives the carriage land, judging from the distance between the sleepers and the pace of the horse, then the horse running on it, will it trip? And how do you stop?
In fact, how to stop is not difficult, experts found that some sections of the road will have uphill roads, in fact, it is superimposed with some sleepers, and people, when walking on broken roads will naturally slow down.
In addition, after all, it has been experienced in 2000 years, this "railway" should not be broken, and it is exposed to the air all year round, it seems that there is no special substance covering the sleepers?
After testing, experts found that the sleepers had asphalt on them, and there was some special powder, which was extremely hard, unimaginably hard. But this does not mean that this is the real reason why this "railway" in 2000 has not been damaged so far.
It can only be said that this should be another millennium unsolved mystery, I hope that the experts in japan can unveil the answers to all these questions, and let us thoroughly understand the advanced technology of the ancient Qin Kingdom!
