In his previous life, Maximus discovered the forceps in the game Civilization Conquest under the options for modern medical technology. The image even noted that "the emergence of forceps marked a major advancement in the history of human childbirth."
His curiosity led him to specifically research forceps. He learned that forceps had been used in childbirth for a long time, with records in Ancient Egypt and Ancient Rome, but due to low success rates, they were not widely adopted. The development and popularity of modern forceps mainly involved the Chamberlain family.
This 16th-century French midwifery family developed a kind of perforated, curve-shaped forceps that fit the infant's head well after extensive practice, greatly improving childbirth success rates. They kept this secret and made a fortune from it, spreading it only by the 18th century.
