Journey to the West: I Handed over the Scriptures to the State

I, Xuanzang, am back from studying Buddhist scriptures. Li Shimin asked me where the scriptures were, and I opened the scripture box. All civil and military officials in the dynasty were stunned. There are no Buddhist scriptures in it. There are only "Classical Mechanics", "General Theory of Electromagnetism", and a manuscript full of formulas. "Your Majesty, this is the true scripture that Lingshan gave me." Three months later, the first steam engine was ignited in Chang'an. A year later, a train ran over the ancient road and electric lights illuminated Tai Chi Palace. Li Shimin stood at the top of the city and asked me: What exactly did you get back? I said: It is a legacy that a civilization gained through destruction. I didn't tell him - there is a bronze mirror in the Lingshan Sutra Pavilion. In the mirror, the last me was wearing a white coat, standing in the burning city, saying to a group of people: compress and encode the technology tree. In the next reincarnation, we cannot lose again. It turns out that studying scriptures is never about becoming a Buddha. It is the gods and Buddhas who are choosing a person who can rekindle the fire for mankind. The day the sky opened, I stood in front of the crack. Behind him is Datang's 100,000 steam engine. This time, I'm not here to learn from you. I came back with a civilization.
