This weapon makes every country yearn for
In the development of China’s cold weapons, there is a cold weapon that is deeply loved by the military and civilians around the world. Everyone Everyone dreams of it. Whether it is outdoor sports or military missions, this cold weapon can be called the most handy weapon. It is China's engineer shovel.
The most common use of our country's engineer shovels was during the three major battles. Later, after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, China's army became the country with the largest number of people in the world. After liberation, the Japanese and Japanese soldiers Our country has gone through periods of preparing for war, preparing for famine, and digging deep holes to accumulate grain. Engineer shovels have always played a very important role in our country's military construction and national construction.
Until after liberation, there was actually no unified, true engineer shovel. After a large number of underground bunker construction projects in the early days of liberation, the engineer shovel was officially included in our country's military equipment. The engineer shovel has gone through three generations. The first generation is a relatively basic engineer shovel needed for survival.
In fact, it was formed on the basis of the previous long wooden shovel by sawing the shovel handle short. Later, after many improvements, the shovel handle became more in line with the mechanical characteristics, and the shovel head was turned some A small hole for attaching to a marching bag with a rope. This was the first-generation engineer shovel.
The second and third generations are a process of continuous evolution. The second generation is designed with a foldable shovel handle, and the handle is also changed to a triangular streamlined shape.
The third generation is what we often see in some outdoor equipment today. The third generation shovel handle can be folded twice and has the functions of shovel, pickaxe, crowbar, saw, etc., and The production process uses better high-carbon steel materials, which have the characteristics of high strength, good corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance.
In modern times, the engineer shovel has developed into many derivatives, such as the multi-functional engineer shovel used in some outdoor adventures. But they all follow the design concept of the old engineer shovel.
The first is the folding shovel handle, which is designed with a threaded structure and can be disassembled and placed in a backpack, so it is more convenient to carry. Every part of the shovel handle is made hollow. Therefore, relevant functional components can be installed inside.
For example, on the top of the shovel handle is a flint and steel screwdriver that can break windows. Inside the screwdriver is a piece of flint and steel. When you need to make a fire in the wild, use the scraper to make a fire. If not, you need to use the multifunctional knife that comes with it. You can install this knife on the threaded handle and use it with a flint to make a fire. The effect is very good.
Since the flint is made of aluminum-magnesium alloy, the scraped debris can easily ignite the tinder. This multifunctional knife has serrations on the back, which can be used as a saw in the wild.
At the same time, the unique structure can also open bottle caps, and the head is designed like a harpoon, so it can be used as a harpoon when installed on the shovel handle, which is very convenient.
The design of the shovel head can be said to be the integration of many years of development and accumulation of engineering shovels. The appearance is designed into a triangular pyramid, so it has an excellent soil-breaking function. One side of the shovel blade is designed to be inwardly curved. The design is therefore able to function as a machete, with the other side also being bladed, so it is capable of both breaking ground and chopping.
Of course, the shovel head is also designed with a correspondingly shaped notch, so it can be used as a bottle opener or a wrench. This engineer shovel can be said to have all the functions needed for survival in the wild and daily use of soldiers. Therefore, the versatility of China's engineer shovel completely surpasses the Swiss Army Knife. It is no wonder that many people around the world are able to own it. A Chinese engineer shovel is proud of.
