96: The Ark reactor was successfully ignited, and it turns out that the clown is actually me.

...Inside the laboratory.

Lu Xingye checked the Ark Reactor equipment again, and after confirming there were no issues, he took a deep breath.

"Finally, all the pre-ignition work for the Ark Reactor is complete."

Next was the laser-focused ignition.

Since Lu Xingye had taken NZT-48,

he had enough calm and patience to carry out the ignition test and ensure no accidents would occur.

After a while of experimenting, his hair was a bit disheveled, giving him the look of both a genius and a madman.

Lu Xingye appeared before the live camera, smiling slightly and revealing his perfectly white teeth.

"The Ark Reactor assembly is complete."

"Now we begin the ignition test," he said confidently.

His words were full of infectious power, like the ignition test of the Shenzhou rocket launch, instantly gaining the support and recognition of countless fans.

"@Chairman Lu, your experiment will definitely succeed."

"@Chairman Lu, your experiment must succeed!"

"@Chairman Lu, many people don't believe in our Kyushu's technology. Now, let the miniature controllable nuclear fusion ignition crush them."

"If this experiment succeeds, Kyushu's technology will lead the world."

..."Everyone, shout with me: Chairman Lu, awesome!"

"Everyone, shout with me: The little calf bathing the mother cow is awesome!"

...After Lu Xingye's announcement on the live stream, he returned to the workbench to conduct the ignition test.

The laser ignition device was a small ignition device.

This ignition device was built into the Ark Reactor and intelligently controlled by a program.

To put it simply,

Lu Xingye only needed to gently press the ignition button, and the laser ignition device would instantly erupt with thousands of degrees Celsius of high temperature, igniting the nuclear material inside.

Thus, generating enormous energy.

Lu Xingye aimed the live camera at the Ark Reactor, adjusting it to the best angle so that all fans in the live stream could clearly see the ignition test.

"Countdown..."

"3..."

"2..."

"1..."

"Miniature nuclear reaction cone experiment — Ignition."

Lu Xingye pressed the ignition button firmly with his right hand, and then a surge of warmth unconsciously rose within him; this was a sense of pride stemming from the deepest roots of his nation.

In an instant,

the ignition device shot out a super-high-temperature flame, its temperature reaching thousands of degrees.

It instantly ignited the nuclear material inside.

The Ark Reactor then lit up with a glow.

Initially, this glow was gentle, like the rising sun, but then this rising sun transformed into a vast, blazing sun.

Emitting boundless light.

And endless energy.

"It succeeded."

Looking at the masterpiece before him, a smile involuntarily appeared in Lu Xingye's heart.

Although he had known the result all along, that the nuclear reaction cone ignition experiment would definitely succeed.

However,

when his experiment truly succeeded, his state of mind was completely different from before.

He smiled very happily.

"Next..."

"Next, I announce the successful ignition test of the Ark Reactor."

Lu Xingye stood before the live camera and loudly announced the experimental results.

"Holy cow, the little cow went to the North Pole, awesome!"

"Ark Reactor experiment successful."

"@Lu Xingye, thank you for your silent dedication, for researching a revolutionary nuclear reaction cone for humanity."

...In the live stream, countless people watched this scene, their bodies frozen. It was as if time had been paused.

Excitement... and an indescribable emotion stemming from their bloodline.

This emotion, like the Shenzhou rocket ignition, made people excited and filled them with national pride.

Immediately after,

the news reporters stationed in the live stream began to edit their news headlines:

# / Shocking: Kyushu's miniature controllable nuclear reaction cone successfully ignited, a great feat for human progress, symbolizing humanity's understanding of energy reaching a new level.

# / How can Kyushu, a great nation, stand among the world's powers without some black technology? Ark Reactor ignition experiment device exposed.

# / Nuclear bombs are for nuclear deterrence, ensuring Kyushu's eternal peace. The Ark Reactor is an artificial sun, and Kyushu's entry into the interstellar era is just around the corner.

# / According to experts' predictions: The Ark Reactor's technology is at least decades ahead of the world.

# / The story behind the success of the Ark Reactor... Across the continent, Western research organizations smashed their keyboards when they saw this sun slowly being lit.

Harvard University: "Fuck! That Eastern kid really succeeded. Who can tell me what materials he used to make the Ark Reactor?"

Cambridge University: "Investigate it for me, research it for me... We must analyze the composition materials of the Ark Reactor."

United States:

"Fuck!"

"Now Suihuo Technology is a bit too strong. I'm already a little afraid of Kyushu."

The British Empire:

"Kyushu attempts to dominate the world. The Kyushu threat theory... Kyushu's technological development is too fast, we must unite to suppress Kyushu's development."

Northern Bear Country:

"Haven't you ever thought about poaching Lu Xingye?"

...At the same time.

Seeing Lu Xingye's successful ignition in the command center, Long Yingtian finally breathed a sigh of relief. In Kyushu, some things are like this: if you do something and no problems arise, then there are no problems at all.

If you do it well, some people might even praise you.

But~

If you mess up, someone must bear the responsibility.

Clearly, Lu Xingye was lucky; he succeeded.

"This young man."

"He really doesn't make things easy."

Long Yingtian had just sighed, about to slowly calm his heart which had been constantly on edge, when he suddenly saw Lu Xingye's next outrageous move.

He was completely dumbfounded.

"Hello, everyone, fans."

"I am Lu Xingye, Chairman of Suihuo Technology."

"The Ark Reactor ignition experiment has just been completed, and I believe everyone now has a preliminary understanding of our robot companion product."

"So, without further ado, I'll insert a small advertisement."

"I announce that Suihuo Technology's new product, the robot companion, will begin pre-sales in three days."

"Please follow my live stream account, where Xiao Mo will be selling the products. I hope everyone can buy the robot companion they want."

"Of course... due to production limitations, the current robot companions are only for pre-sale. Even if you purchase them, they will be scheduled for production. They may not be shipped immediately."

"I hope everyone understands this!"

..."...I had a belly full of emotions after watching the live stream, but I didn't expect it to end with an advertisement."

"This robot advertisement is brilliant."

"6666..."

"Using the Ark Reactor ignition experiment as an advertisement, Chairman Lu, I call you the number one advertiser."

...In the live stream, the fans heard Lu Xingye's reply, fell silent for a moment, and then burst into laughter.

They never expected advertisements could be done this way.

It was truly brilliant.

Of course, even more fans praised Lu Xingye, and they all expressed that they would purchase the robot companion.

As for the fighter Yuan Li, he vanished without a trace the moment he saw Lu Xingye's Ark Reactor successfully ignite.

He truly had no face to stay in that live stream anymore.

His reputation was completely ruined.
