"Machine tool?" Li Haoze couldn't help but think in his heart after seeing this comment.
Could it be that as long as this machine tool exists, the craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty will be able to build a steam engine with their bare hands?
Thinking of this, he quickly searched the Internet to find out what the machine tool mentioned by netizens was.
Li Haoze quickly entered the word "machine tool" in the search bar.
Immediately, a large amount of relevant information and pictures appeared before his eyes.
He carefully read the introduction about machine tools and learned that a machine tool is a device used to process metal or other materials.
It is possible to perform operations such as cutting, grinding, and drilling on the workpiece through cutting tools to achieve precision machining.
"So that's it!" Li Haoze suddenly realized that the processing of various modern metal tools is actually achieved through machine tools.
In that case, it would be great if he could replicate modern machine tools in the Tang Dynasty.
Couldn't the craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty also use these machine tools to set up workshops and mass-produce steam engines?
Thinking of this, Li Haoze entered "history of machine tool development" in the search bar again.
He wanted to use the Internet to carefully study which machine tools would be easier to replicate in Datang and how to iterate quickly.
The search results appeared quickly, and a series of detailed information about the development history of machine tools appeared in front of Li Haoze.
He read attentively. From the earliest manual machine tools to the later CNC machine tools, the invention, improvement and application of each machine tool were recorded clearly.
As he read deeper, he learned that the origins of machine tools can be traced back to ancient times, but modern machine tools in the true sense began to develop during the Industrial Revolution.
From the earliest manual machine tools, to later hydraulic and steam-powered machine tools, and then to modern CNC machine tools, the development of machine tools has gone through a long and complicated process.
He conducted in-depth research on the working principles and structural characteristics of various machine tools, and gradually realized that the core technology of machine tools lies in their sophisticated transmission systems and control systems.
These systems enable machine tools to accurately control the tool's motion trajectory and processing depth, thereby achieving precision machining of workpieces.
Li Haoze began to think about where he should start if he wanted to replicate the machine tools in Datang.
Taking into account the technical level of the Tang Dynasty craftsmen and the little princess's hands-on ability, he decided to start with simple manual machine tools.
This type of machine tool has a relatively simple structure and does not require a complex transmission system and control system.
Some basic processing tasks can be completed only through manual operation.
While Li Haoze was searching for the machine tool, experts at the archaeological site were also conducting preliminary research and verification on the steam engine in front of them.
But soon they were shocked to find that the steam engine was covered with traces of hand-hammering.
To put it bluntly, this steam engine was completely handmade by craftsmen.
The discovery shocked everyone present, especially the archaeologists.
They knew that even in modern times, it would be extremely difficult to create such sophisticated machinery by hand, let alone in the Tang Dynasty more than a thousand years ago.
"This...this is incredible." An archaeologist said in a trembling voice, he could hardly believe his eyes.
"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! How could human power alone achieve this level?" another archaeologist shouted in disbelief.
This immediately caused netizens who did not know the truth to question it.
Seeing this, the host took the initiative to explain to netizens: "Dear netizens, you may not understand why the experts on the scene are so shocked.
Let me tell you, this steam engine is not an industrial product that we are familiar with today, but is entirely handmade.”
The host paused to let the news settle in the netizens' minds for a while.
Then he continued, “Yes, you heard it right!
Before our eyes is this sophisticated and complex steam engine.
Every component and every detail of it is hammered and polished bit by bit by the hands of craftsmen.
This exquisite skill and pursuit of the ultimate in craftsmanship are truly breathtaking.”
“You know, even in today’s technologically advanced world, it’s extremely difficult to build a steam engine like this by hand.
However, more than a thousand years ago during the Tang Dynasty, our ancestors already possessed such skills and wisdom.
This has given us a new appreciation for the technological level of the Tang Dynasty and has given us great respect for its craftsmen."
The host's voice was full of excitement and pride.
His words seemed to have a kind of magic, allowing netizens in the live broadcast room to feel the shock and awe that came from history.
After the host finished speaking, the live broadcast room fell into a brief silence.
Netizens seemed to be shocked by the news.
They could not imagine that more than a thousand years ago, the craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty had already possessed such superb skills.
However, this silence did not last long.
Soon, heated discussions broke out again in the live broadcast room.
"This is astonishing! The craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty were truly amazing. They were able to create such a sophisticated steam engine by hand."
"Unbelievable! This completely changes our understanding of ancient science and technology. The Tang Dynasty was truly an era full of miracles!"
"I have great admiration for the technology and wisdom of the Tang Dynasty. This hand-built steam engine is a testament to the creativity and talent of the ancient people."
"Oh my God! How is this possible?!" Just as netizens were discussing the matter, the exclamations of archaeologists were heard again in the live broadcast room.
"What have the archaeologists discovered? Is there something more shocking than this hand-made steam engine?" Netizens' curiosity was instantly ignited and they began to speculate.
The camera quickly turned and saw archaeologists gathered together, their eyes focused on a stone mural, their eyes filled with disbelief.
As the camera zoomed in, the content on the mural gradually became clear, and a line of large characters suddenly came into everyone's sight.
"The Tang Emperor educated the barbarians and unified the Blue Star. All races came to pay tribute and forge a prosperous era together."
This line of big words was like a thunder, which set off a huge wave in the hearts of netizens.
The live broadcast room instantly boiled over, with countless comments emerging like mushrooms after rain, expressing the excitement and shock of netizens.
"Oh my god! Is this true? Did the Tang Dynasty not only already know about the existence of Blue Star? And even unified it?"
"That's too much! If this is true, then the historical status of the Tang Dynasty needs to be reassessed."
"Could it be that our previous understanding of the Tang Dynasty is just the tip of the iceberg? The content of this mural is truly shocking!"
"The Tang Emperor educated the barbarians and unified the Blue Planet. This is a feat that transcends time!"
