Chapter 941: Technology of the Buddha

Year 10,101 of the Blue Star Xia calendar, Mahayana Star

After nearly two hundred years of strong promotion, Mahayana Star has changed greatly, with modern cities rising everywhere.

Although it has not met the higher demands of the Buddha, the changes in Mahayana Star are still very encouraging. To put it simply, in these two hundred years, the population of Mahayana Star has tripled.

And the increase in population will naturally bring many talented disciples, making the Buddha even more prosperous.

Many events have occurred on Mahayana Star during these two hundred years; for instance, most small temples have been merged, leaving only a dozen large temples and some medium-sized ones.

On this day, the higher-ups of Mahayana Star, along with leaders from several other planets, came to Wufo City’s Damo Academy base. Damo Academy is also known as the Spiritual Energy Research Institute of the Great Buddha, and many institutions on Mahayana Star are modeled after those on Blue Star.

"I greet my master, and I greet all the masters present!"

Lv Junyu bowed to everyone. His cultivation level had stagnated at the early stage of Void Achieving for a long time, and as he could not improve, his youthful appearance gradually changed to that of a middle-aged person, but he appeared more mature and composed.

"Junyu, these are my esteemed visitors from the Buddhist Order, who have come today to observe and learn, to see our first generation Space Battleship."

"Yes, Master, honored guests, please follow me."

Lv Junyu bowed and then led them into the interior of Damo Academy.

In a dock workshop, a Space Battleship stood tall, with many workers conducting final checks. The workshop was a modern facility, but in the corner, there was a small room that housed a hall with numerous Buddha statues. Workers would go in to pay their respects before and after their shifts.

"Master, esteemed guests, this is our Damo One Space Battleship. The entire ship is three thousand meters long and eight hundred sixty meters wide, shaped like…"

Lv Junyu introduced the first generation Space Battleship developed by Mahayana Star. The ship resembled a cigar, and its exterior was painted gold, which is the color most favored by the Buddhist Order.

The higher-ups of the Buddhist Order had learned some scientific knowledge and were pleased with the parameters Lv Junyu shared. However, they had no comparisons, and if they knew some secrets from Blue Star, they would realize that this battleship belonged in a museum back on Blue Star Huaxia, not even suitable for a university lab, as it represented technology from two thousand years ago, only slightly more advanced than Blue Star’s first generation battleships.

"Junyu, is this battleship capable of fighting?"

"Yes, Master, but it is a bit lacking in space combat. If we are targeting something on a planet, it is truly a powerful weapon."

Lv Junyu said, Lv Junyu knows a lot about the Blue Star technology parameters, and this battleship is quite outdated.

For example, they do not have the crucial mixed energy technology, so this Space Battleship only uses nuclear energy; spiritual energy is too precious and consumes too much.

The current Mahayana Star seems very modern, but there are many technologies they have not yet mastered, and the gap between them and Blue Star is truly vast.

Ci’en looked at the crowd, and everyone nodded in satisfaction; this Space Battleship at least looks not much different from Blue Star’s, just a bit smaller.

After Lv Junyu introduced the basic parameters, he took everyone inside the Space Battleship for a tour. The three-kilometer-long Space Battleship is not very spacious inside because there are too many machines. Lv Junyu casually mentioned various machines for different purposes, and many senior members looked at Lv Junyu with admiration; he is a talented person.

"Masters, I have heard that Blue Star’s battleships have space technology. So while their battleships seem to be similar to ours, there is a huge difference inside. I hope you masters can help us gather some information…"

Lv Junyu mentioned that the Buddhist school’s space technology has not yet broken through, so the inside of the three-kilometer-long Space Battleship feels cramped, and Lv Junyu wants more technological support.

The Buddhist school is heavily infiltrated by the Heavenly Court, and the Heavenly Court closely communicates with Blue Star, so the Buddhist school has gained quite a bit of technology, which is one reason for their rapid technological development over the past two hundred years.

Of course, the senior members of the Buddhist school do not know that Lv Junyu’s connection with Blue Star comes through technical information; Lv Junyu now needs further instructions from Blue Star.

"Sure, Junyu."

Ci’en nodded, and the others did not see any problem. In the Buddhist realm, the most advanced technology comes from Mahayana Star; other planets lag far behind, and the best among them can barely launch satellites. Supporting Mahayana Star is their established strategy.

After visiting the Space Battleship, Lv Junyu took everyone to see other research projects at Damo Academy, and after a warm reception, they finally left.

Back at Damo Academy, a few people were already waiting for Lv Junyu; they were there to use Damo Academy’s supercomputer.

Mahayana Star has its own supercomputing center, built over the past two hundred years. Although there are several supercomputing centers, the most advanced is at Damo Academy, as this supercomputer was brought back by Lv Junyu from Lingqing Star, which came from Blue Star.

"I’ve met Director Lu."

"Everyone go in; it’s been over a thousand years, so be careful not to damage it."

Lv Junyu nodded and then opened the door to let them in. Since there is only this one supercomputer, everyone must be very careful when using it, and others are not allowed to use it freely without his permission.

Lv Junyu watched them use it quietly, his expression calm, but inside, he was already sneering.

The technology base of Mahayana Star comes from Blue Star, brought over by hundreds of thousands of elites, but these people are still not enough, so there is this supercomputer.

This computer was specially made by Blue Star. After being brought to Mahayana Star, it was organized several times. On the surface, it seems to be controlled by the people of Mahayana Star, but in reality, Blue Star left a backdoor in it.

Later, other supercomputers at Mahayana Star were built using it as a model, which meant that all the other supercomputers had a deadly backdoor, making it very easy for Blue Star to take action against Mahayana Star.

Imagine, in the future, when the robots and Space Battleships of Mahayana Star face off against Blue Star, and with just a command, all weapons on Blue Star are aimed and fired at Mahayana Star. What a scene that would be!

Of course, Lv Junyu thinks Mahayana Star won’t last until that time because Blue Star left many traps for them, far more than just this one.

Right now, Mahayana Star’s liberation of thought is not enough; the entire development of technology is actually deformed. This is the result of various forces within Mahayana Star reaching compromises.

But no matter how they compromise, they haven’t considered the people at the bottom. In just two hundred years, Mahayana Star has gone through what Blue Star took over a thousand years to develop; they haven’t gone through the necessary trials, only temporarily suppressing them. What would happen if it all exploded one day?

Just thinking about it is thrilling.

An hour later, Lv Junyu left and returned to his office to start handling matters.

He has many things to handle. Right now, Lv Junyu only takes care of technology development; he doesn’t manage the official side. He has a lot of documents in front of him. Lv Junyu took a glance and then forwarded them to Ci’en and Hui Kong.

They are all social issues, such as the treatment of scientists. These problems are something Lv Junyu cannot solve, and even the high leaders of the Buddhist community cannot solve them. He just throws the problems to the Buddhist community. He thought about how they would respond, but it would just be to suppress them, never considering a complete solution.

"Suppress it, suppress it. The more you suppress now, the more powerful it will be when it erupts later."

Lv Junyu sneered. The current Mahayana Star is like a powder keg. It hasn’t exploded yet because the Buddhist community still has a decisive force to keep it in check, suppressing all the conflicts.

However, this suppression is temporary. Those conflicts are still building strength, and one day they will break free. The more they are suppressed now, the more serious the backlash will be later.

Moreover, Lv Junyu believes that Blue Star will not just sit back and watch. One day when Blue Star weakens the power of the Mahayana Star’s Buddhist community, they too will be unable to suppress it.

"I will never do what he wants in this life. I only hope I can return to my hometown and be buried there."

Lv Junyu suddenly felt a wave of homesickness. Even though he has been in Mahayana Star for many years, he has never considered it home, even though Ci’en and the others have treated him very well, and his descendants have set roots here.

Lv Junyu thinks this is how his life will be; he has no hope left. He has even prepared himself to die in Mahayana Star. All he hopes is to have his ashes buried back in Blue Star, because that is his true hometown.
