How many inventions does Zhuge Liang have?

It is said that the steamed bun was invented by him.

1. Wooden oxen and flowing horses

When Zhuge Liang led his troops to conquer Wei, it was very inconvenient to transport grain and grass due to the rugged roads. As a result, Zhuge Liang invented a tool that is extremely similar to a cow and a horse, also known as a "wooden ox and flowing horse". What's even more surprising is that this kind of wooden oxen and flowing horses do not need to eat, they can walk as long as they turn their tongues, and they have made a great contribution to the transportation of grain and grass at that time.

The wooden cow and the horse are simply the predecessor of the current robot, but this technology has been lost.

Second, Zhuge repeater.

In order to improve combat ability, Zhuge Liang innovated on the basis of the original bow and crossbow, and invented the Zhuge crossbow that could fire ten arrows at a time, which greatly improved the combat effectiveness of the Shu army. The Zhuge repeater was not only very advanced in the Three Kingdoms period, but also the prototype of modern military **, known as the world's earliest semi-automatic**.

3. Steamed buns. When Zhuge Liang captured Meng and returned to Shu, the wind on the river was fierce, and the local barbarians only used human heads to pay tribute. Zhuge Liang felt that this approach was not only ignorant, but also very inhumane.

So, he had people make "steamed buns" out of beef and mutton and flour, which is the so-called steamed buns, and put them into the water for sacrifice. In ancient times, steamed buns were no different from steamed buns, and they were not separated until modern times. Therefore, the current steamed buns and steamed buns were invented by Zhuge Liang.

Fourth, Kong Ming lantern.

During Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, in order to transmit signals, he invented a flying lantern, which was called "Kong Ming Lantern" by later generations. Now during the Lantern Festival, many people put Kong Ming lanterns to make wishes.

5. Landmines. Zhuge Liang is also the originator of landmines, and when he conquered Meng in the south, he used relatively simple mines. At that time, the mines were put in a wooden box, because there was no fuse, so they had to use a bamboo tube with gunpowder as a fuse.

Later, when he fought with Sima Yi again, Zhuge Liang also wanted to kill Sima Yi with mines, but the heavens were not beautiful, and it suddenly rained heavily, and Zhuge Liang lamented: "The plan is in the people, and the success is in the sky".

Zhuge Liang's invention is a wooden ox and a flowing horse.

The wooden ox is a common wheelbarrow on construction sites today, which is not only recognized by today's people, but also by many well-read people in our ancient times, and even engineering experts.

Lin Qing, a water conservancy expert in the Qing Dynasty, also agreed. After careful analysis, Zhuge Liang definitely did not have the effort to carve any bull heads and horse heads in detail, but the shape of the structure is more likely. The wheelbarrow transports grain and grass in the difficult Shu road, which is easy to pass, easy to control, and saves time and effort, plus the production is simple, so it is very likely that this thing is a wooden ox and a flowing horse.

Northern and Southern Dynasties

More than 200 years later, Zu Chongzhi, a scientific and technological genius in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, is said to have rebuilt the wooden ox and flowing horse. What is incomprehensible is that he also did not leave a single word of information. The introduction of the wooden ox and flowing horse in the book is:

The square belly bends the head, one foot and four legs, the head is in the collar, the tongue is on the abdomen, the load is more and the line is less, the lone traveler is dozens of miles, and the group walker is twenty miles.

The vertical one is the cow tongue, the curved one is the cow rib, the carved one is the cow tooth, the standing one is the horn, and the cow is on the back. The man walks six feet, and the ox walks four steps. Flowing horse: The ribs are three feet five inches long, the same as the left and right. The front axle hole is divided into four inches, the front foot hole is four inches and five minutes to the front axle hole, and the plate is two square bags.
