The Lost Scrolls of Heavenly Craft

Have you ever wondered if the source of the "explosive miracle" of modern Western science might be a collection of banned Chinese books from three hundred years ago?

In 1637, Song Yingxing wrote down the three laws of mechanics, 50 years before Newton's Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy;

In 1524, Wang Wensu completed the core algorithms of calculus, 170 years before Leibniz;

In 1637, Song Yingxing drew plans for a prototype steam engine, 75 years before Newcomen's practical steam engine.

These world-leading achievements were systematically burned during the Qing dynasty, smuggled to Europe by missionaries, stripped of their Eastern origins, and repackaged as Western inventions.

Three hundred years later, a worm-eaten fragment leads ancient-book restorer Shen Yan to uncover a shocking fraud that has lasted for five hundred years.

This story is an alternate-history novel. Its plot, characters, and documents are artistic inventions and do not correspond to real history.
