China is an ancient civilization with a history of thousands of years, and the history of weapons manufacturing is also very long. Archaeologists often find weapons from ancient times when they carry out archaeological work. However, when it comes to the most famous and well-known weapon in ancient China, it is the "Yue King's Sword". Yue Wang Gou Jian is one of the Five Champions of spring and autumn identified by "Xunzi Wangba", and his legendary life must be known to everyone. The "Yue King's Gou Jian Sword" is a legend in history, and it is also known as "the first sword in the world". In many historical documents, the sword is mentioned, but there is no record of where the sword was placed later. Later generations of people have been looking for a long time, but they have never found it.
It wasn't until the 1960s, when a reservoir in Hubei was under construction, that workers accidentally discovered an ancient tomb with a sword next to its owner. Subsequently, the person in charge of the construction team reported the situation to the local cultural relics department, and soon the experts of the cultural relics department came to the scene. After some research, the archaeologists showed a very surprised expression on their faces. It turned out that the sword next to the owner of the tomb was exactly the sword that people had been looking for for many years. The inscription engraved on this sword with the words "Yue Wang Gou Jian Jian Sword" is clearly visible. It is worth mentioning that this sword is not at all visible to have a history of thousands of years, because its body has no trace of rust at all, and it is also glowing and looks quite sharp. The worker accidentally scratched his hand while picking up the sword. Later, experts studied the sword further, wanting to know why it was immortal for a thousand years. To do this, the experts placed the sword in an X-ray scan. The conclusion reached after the X-ray test made the experts very shocked and shouted: This is impossible! So what is the secret of this sword?
Experts found that the body part of the sword and the blade part of the sword are not the same, and the two are forged separately and then combined. This synthetic forging technology was invented in modern times, and it must be completed with the help of large machine tools. So how did the ancient craftsmen do it? The experts were puzzled and quite shocked. In addition, the analysis shows that the sword is made of copper, which also contains some tin, lead and iron components, and the coffin is sealed with white paste mud, isolating the external gas, which is the reason why the sword can be immortalized for thousands of years and has been preserved to this day.
