China's 1,180 meter High Glass Walkway

I know....I was tweaking Shen's nose.



China was the technology centre of the world in ancient times. But, as usual, politics and feudalism destroyed everything.

And she takes the bait every time.

I remember seeing something on netflix about the terracotta army and how over 2000 years ago Chinese were using crossbows with bronze triggers.,  It was impressive.

It was pretty cool while it lasted, during her time China was kinda like the ancient version of the US but unfortunately like as Fash mentioned during the Ming Dynasty around 1400AD they built the biggest non-modern fleet and travel to most of the continents except for Europe and Antarctica and found no civilization that posed a technological rivalry or threat to theirs and decided to cut all R&D and close all doors to the world.  Then a few centuries later came the European powers that conquered more than half of the world and came the opium wars. :001_tongue:

A fatal mistake.

Sadly so, but tbh I think China would still lose to England and most of Europe anyways, the technology that took China over a millennia to develop, it took the West less than 1/5 of the time to catch up.  The only way for a country to advance their technology is through war and more wars, once China was united it was pretty much the end.

China still invented stuff during the Qing dynasty. The machine gun being the most obvious.  Expert Dai Zi managed to develop a continuously shooting gun. He lived during the Qing Dynasty and his invention was able to hold up to 28 bullets.

I think I know which one you're talking about, if it's the one were you just dump in a bunch of metal balls and a pour in some gun power into another compartment chamber, I forgot what it's called but I heard it'll eventually cause a fatality to it's user once it jams or malfunctions, lol.

Apparently, it  was like an early Gatlin. I don't know much about firearms.



He was kicked out of the army, framed by snaky court officials for stepping on the wrong toes and banished him to Shenyang.

I never knew much about the fate of it's inventor, but sounds like another a dime a dozen sad tragic hero ending in China again, I mean so many people that worked hard and contributed only to be punished or executed.

Oh, and China also invented the dishwasher, the jet engine, polyester, and the common lawnmower.
