65: Chapter 65 Ignition Successful! The Sacred Flame Illuminating Human Civilization

That radiance was not merely blinding white.

It possessed a strange, iridescent halo, as if it were a fragment stolen directly from God's shrine.

Under the gaze of hundreds of monitoring satellites across the globe, that long-desolate base in the northwest of the Dragon Kingdom instantly became the most dazzling coordinate on Earth.

Even in the Eagle Nation, thousands of kilometers away, the media headquarters that once mocked Lin Yun were now silenced, every display screen stunned by this scene.

No special effects.

No concealment.

This was controlled nuclear fusion ignition—so real that it was enough to shatter the worldview of any physicist!

"This is impossible!"

That Nobel Prize winner in Physics who had previously mocked Lin Yun slumped in his office chair, his eyes wide, a death rattle-like gurgle emerging from his throat.

The coffee cup in his hand fell to the floor and shattered, but he felt nothing at all.

In his professional system of knowledge, this completely contradicted the current magnetic confinement stability model.

However... the instruments would not lie.

The data would not lie.

That was undeniably a stably operating nuclear fusion reactor!

"How... how on earth did he do it?"

"Did he force the creation of a sun on the surface?!"

Inside the office, the other assistants all turned pale, fear spreading wildly in their eyes.

The scientific system they prided themselves on appeared so fragile and ridiculous in the face of that dazzling radiance.

Meanwhile, in the capital of the Dragon Kingdom, inside the command hall.

Applause and cheers had turned into a deafening ocean.

Elder Chen took off his reading glasses and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with trembling hands.

He looked at the perfect curve on the screen; it was an energy release efficiency close to perfection, something humanity had never seen before.

"Ignition successful, energy output stable, magnetic confinement parameters perfect."

The technician's voice was hoarse with extreme excitement, "Report! All indicators have met expectations, which means our 'Artificial Sun' can now enter the commercial grid integration phase!"

"Comrade Lin Yun!"

Elder Chen turned back and bowed deeply to Lin Yun.

"You have created another miracle!"

"This is no longer a simple 'energy revolution'."

"This is the second enlightenment in human history since the arrival of fire!"

Lin Yun smiled faintly and reached out to help the old senior up.

"Elder Chen, there is no need to be so polite."

"This is not a miracle; this is merely... an inevitable step in the evolution of civilization."

He turned and walked toward the huge floor-to-ceiling window, looking out at the pitch-black yet hopeful night sky.

"This world truly needs a little light."

"It's just that the current energy is not enough."

"What we must do is establish a 'Stellar Network' on a global scale."

"I want this light to not only illuminate the cities of today but also every inch of the interstellar territory that will belong to the Dragon Kingdom in the future!"

Xiao Zhang stood to the side, listening to Lin Yun's words, which sounded like a divine miracle, his heart filled with a fanatical sense of mission.

He immediately issued a statement to the entire network: "The Dragon Kingdom's 'Artificial Sun' project has successfully ignited in one go! Within the next year, all cities in the Dragon Kingdom will achieve free and unlimited energy!"

Once this statement was released, the global internet completely exploded!

"Free?! Did I read that right? Free energy?!"

"My God! What kind of black technology is this?! This is going to completely overturn the foundation of the entire capitalist economy!"

"Dragon Kingdom is awesome! Lin Yun is awesome! From today on, I am going to learn the Dragon Kingdom language!"

Countless foreign netizens frantically checked in on social media, praying to obtain the qualification to live in the Dragon Kingdom.

And those forces that once tried to boycott the Dragon Kingdom's energy despairingly realized at this moment that all their methods had become meaningless jokes.

Energy was no longer a scarce resource.

In this era, energy was merely the cheapest gift bestowed by the Dragon Kingdom.

"Mr. Lin Yun..."

Princess Anna walked in quickly from outside the door, her eyes complex, but more than anything, there was an undisguisable submission.

She had just received a "surrender" telegram from Europe.

Faced with the Dragon Kingdom, which possessed "Artificial Sun" technology, all the once-arrogant politicians in Europe had completely lost the courage to negotiate.

"The European Parliament has passed it unanimously; they are willing to accept all our conditions."

"As long as we can output nuclear fusion technology to them."

"Of course, it is 'controlled output'."

Princess Anna said softly, her tone carrying a hint of pity for the rulers of the old era.

Lin Yun turned around and looked at Princess Anna.

She had now completely become a member of Lin Yun's camp under the dual influence of "ideological transformation" and "reality pressure".

[Ding! Target person detected: Princess Anna.]

[Deep conquest complete! S-rank potential activated.]

[Congratulations, Host, your sixth S-rank offspring, the guardian of the "Artificial Sun" sacred fire, is being conceived!]

The moment the system sound rang out, Lin Yun felt a connection to this vast energy network burgeoning deep within his heart.

This child would not only be a continuation of his bloodline.

But also the true controller of this entire "Global Energy Network".

"Tell them that the technology can be given."

"But the core parameters must remain in our hands."

"I hope they understand that so-called 'cooperation' is not an equal exchange."

"But rather as... an affiliate of our Dragon Kingdom civilization circle."

Lin Yun's voice was calm, yet carried unquestionable majesty.

He looked out the window, his gaze seeming to pierce through the clouds, seeing the silhouettes of the Dragon Kingdom's interstellar warships accelerating into operation.

"Let the world enter the 'Sacred Fire Era'."

"This firelight will not only ignite the Earth."

"But will also serve as our... first lighthouse as we march toward the universe!"

Just then, the entire power grid of the capital suddenly experienced a slight surge.

There was no power outage.

Instead, it instantly became brighter and more stable, as if the entire city were breathing, completing a certain resonance with that distant "Artificial Sun".

Every corner of the globe, whether the cold north or the hot south, was covered by that dazzling radiance from the Dragon Kingdom at this moment.

This was the sacred fire of civilization.

And it was also the first true brand that Lin Yun had carved onto this world!

"Next."

Lin Yun said softly to himself.

"It is time to explore that bottomless 'Intelligence Abyss'."

He turned around and looked at Princess Anna.

In those deep eyes, there was a longing for the ultimate mysteries of the universe.

"Princess Anna, are you ready?"

"What we are going to see is not just light."

"But... the Creator who controls the light!"

Princess Anna met Lin Yun's gaze and bowed her head deeply, her eyes revealing an extreme fanaticism.

She knew that under Lin Yun's leadership, humanity would no longer be that fragile race.

They would become...

Gods!
