In order to meet the needs of war, military strategist Kong Ming independently studied and solved scientific research problems from a military perspective and created many great inventions. Many of these technologies are widely used in military and other fields, especially the "steamed bread" that everyone often eats, which is unintentional by his old man, but has a far-reaching impact on future generations. Kong Ming has made great achievements in scientific research and once again defended the "academic hegemony" status of his three countries.
Summarizing the inventions of the military strategist Kong Ming, it can be roughly divided into military category, entertainment intelligence category and food category.
Military invention
First of all, wooden cows and flowing horses.
Zhuge Liang's northern expedition, from Hanzhong to Cao Wei. Because of the rugged roads, it is very inconvenient for the army to transport food. When he left Qishan for five times, he invented this kind of transportation, which was called "Liu Ma the Cowherd". Its structure is very similar to that of cattle and horses. These legs are made of thick wood. It is said that Liu Ma, a cattle herder, can transport 20 miles of grain every day for a year and walk on rugged mountain roads. Cattle herders enabled Shu soldiers to March quickly on the dangerous Shu Road, which made great contributions to the transportation of rations at that time. It is not only heavily loaded, but also does not need electricity. It doesn't eat or drink much urine, and it can walk freely just by turning its tongue. The invention and use of cattle and horses was a major reform in transportation at that time and now. Unfortunately, at that time, Liu Ma's production technology was highly confidential, and it was not widely promoted and applied among the people. So unfortunately, it was lost shortly after the death of the inventor Zhuge Liang. It is speculated that the construction principle is the combination of winch and cableway, and its core part is a group of bevel gear transmission devices that transform the horizontal winch into vertical rotation. This kind of tool is more advanced than the present one, and does not need energy, or it can be understood as a perpetual motion machine that violates the laws of physics.
Second, gossip
The picture shows the array method, which was created by Zhuge Liang after he came out of the mountain. He called it the Eight Diagrams Array. Because Shu is mountainous, the army is dominated by infantry who are used to fighting in mountainous areas. Once you go north to the Central Plains, it will be difficult to compete with Wei cavalry. In order to improve the combat effectiveness of the Shu army, Zhuge Liang changed the ancient eight-array map and became the eight-array map handed down from later generations. Eight lines, eight lines, eight lines, eight lines, eight lines, eight lines, eight lines, eight lines, eight lines, eight lines, eight lines, eight lines, eight lines, eight lines, eight lines, eight lines, eight lines, eight lines, eight lines, eight lines, eight lines, eight lines, eight lines, eight lines, eight lines, eight lines, eight lines, eight lines, eight lines, eight lines, eight lines, eight lines, eight lines, eight lines, eight lines, eight lines Once you lose in the battle, it is difficult to win.
Third, Zhuge crossbow
Zhuge crossbow, also known as Zhuge Lian crossbow, is a kind of bow and arrow that can be fired continuously. This was a powerful weapon at that time. This is made by Zhuge Liang according to the old technology, and it can shoot ten arrows at a time, which greatly improves the combat effectiveness of the Shu army. Although there were few Shu soldiers, they were able to leave Qishan six times and advance into Weihe Plain. Wei Bing hid in a deep ditch and high base, afraid to fight. How the sword star was shot by Shu soldiers in nine years can prove the effectiveness of crossbows. This crossbow has two basic data. One is that it can shoot ten arrows in succession.
In this case, can you cross and fix six pieces of wood together? More than 2,000 years ago, Kong Ming invented a method of vertically fixing three groups of battens by occlusion. This kind of bite is widely used in architecture, and Kongming's invention is made into a toy-Kongmingsuo. This is a primitive wooden structure, which is a cross cube closely attached from the outside. It can be disassembled with your brain, but it is not so easy to install.
Six, fire beast
When Zhuge Liang pacified the south, he suffered a defeat: Meng Huo, the king of the south, used wild animals as soldiers and defeated Zhao Yun and Wei Yan's military forces with elephants, tigers, bison and wolves. Zhuge Liang had a brainwave. He thinks wild animals are afraid of fire. So a few days later, he invented a beast-like, scarlet and fire-breathing weapon to deal with Meng Huo's beast soldiers.
Seven, bridge gun
After Zhuge Liang pacified the south, he decided to send troops to the north to realize Liu Beixing's last wish of restoring the Han Dynasty. The terrain leading to the north is extremely difficult and there are many mountains and rivers. Fortunately, the key to climbing a mountain is to cross the river: soldiers always spend a long time building bridges. Zhuge Liang was also troubled by this. One day, he remembered how the ancients made sickle hooks and invented the bridge gun. The gun shaft of the bridge-building gun is as long as the red tassel gun, and the gun head is spiral, so as to achieve the purpose of bridge-building through bite connection.
Eight. my
According to the literature: "It's called a mine. Nine guns hide one gun, thirty steps bury one gun. The middle part is connected with a combined drug introduction line by a bamboo pole; At first, the mountain destroyed the stone and cracked. " Because the swords and spears in the hands of the Shu army could not help sergeant Meng Huo's tough rattan armor, Zhuge Liang had to use mines to break the enemy. At that time, the so-called mine was nothing more than putting gunpowder in a wooden box. As there is no fuse, we have to put gunpowder in a bamboo tube as a fuse. Later, Zhuge Liang used it in the game with Sima Yi. I didn't expect it to rain so hard that the mines buried in advance could not explode because the gunpowder was wet. Zhuge Liang wasted all his efforts and was extremely depressed. He issued a heartfelt sigh that "Man proposes, God disposes".
Catering category
steamed bread
On the way to pacify Meng Huo's army, Zhuge Liang suddenly encountered a strong wind on the river, and the local people wanted to pay homage to the dead with their heads. Zhuge Liang shrugged off such foolish and cruel practices. The local natives said to Zhuge Liang, "Since the Prime Minister visited Lushui last time, ghosts have been crying at the water's edge every night. From dusk to dawn, never stop. " Zhuge Liang thought, it seems that the crime is mine. How can innocent soldiers and civilians be implicated and decide to sacrifice themselves? Zhuge Liang thought hard and finally came up with a wonderful way to replace the head with another object. He ordered soldiers to kill cattle and sheep, chop beef and mutton into meat paste, mix it into meat stuffing, wrap it in flour, make it look like a human head, and steam it in a cage. This kind of sacrifice is called "steamed bread head". Zhuge Liang took the steamed bread made of meat and flour to Lushui, put it on the altar, made sacrifices, and then threw it into Lushui one by one. Since then, people often use steamed bread as offerings for various sacrifices.
Because "hand" and "head" are synonyms, they were later called "steamed bread". Steamed bread is eaten after sacrifice. People get inspiration from it and eat steamed bread. Now steamed bread has spread all over the world, but little is known about Zhuge Liang's spirit of loving the people. In the history of diet, steamed bread refers to steamed bread for a long time, and it was not until modern times that steamed bread was officially separated from steamed bread. Today, buns are still called "meat buns" in many places. So to be exact, Zhuge Liang invented the steamed stuffed bun we ate today.
Entertainment category
Kongming chess
As early as in Longzhong, Zhuge Liang planned to invent a kind of chess. In 228 AD, riots broke out in southern Sichuan. As a country, Zhuge Liang decided to lead troops to conquer himself. However, the situation is not so good: the climate in the south makes it difficult for soldiers to adapt. Coupled with the boring army, Wang Nan refused to surrender to Meng Huo for a long time. In this case, Zhuge Liang invented Kong Qiming to enliven the soldiers' boring hearts. Kongming's chess rules are very simple, and it is an intellectual game. And Nin
