66: Chapter 66 Unlimited Energy! The Dragon Kingdom Announces Free Electricity Bills

"Comrade Lin Yun, you're really not joking?"

Elder Chen's voice even had a slight, imperceptible crack due to excessive excitement.

He stared fixedly at the document in Lin Yun's hand, his breathing as rapid as an athlete who had just finished a long-distance race.

The red-lettered heading of the document was extremely eye-catching: Notice Regarding the Full Launch of the "National Infinite Energy" Plan.

Lin Yun stood before a massive holographic star map, hands propped on the table, his expression calm and composed.

"Elder Chen, since the Artificial Sun has been successfully ignited, the energy we produce every second is enough to supply the entire Dragon Country's load for a hundred years."

"If we don't convert this energy into social welfare, are we supposed to just watch this heat dissipate?"

Lin Yun turned his head, looking at the sky outside the window that was reflected crimson by the laboratory's light.

"Starting today, I want Dragon Country's electricity meters to become exhibits in a history museum."

Xiao Zhang, whose scalp was already tingling from what he heard, quickly turned on the synchronized live broadcast signal.

Meanwhile, at a high-end economic forum in the capital...

Several Western-leaning experts with the title of "Famous Economist" were talking eloquently to the audience below.

"I believe Dragon Country's Artificial Sun is merely a laboratory product; it's at least fifty years away from actual civilian use."

"Not to mention free electricity—that violates economic laws and would cause the monetary system to collapse instantly!"

Before the applause from the audience could fade, the big screen suddenly cut to the scene of Lin Yun's press conference.

Lin Yun's young and extremely imposing face instantly appeared on the screens of hundreds of millions of people.

"I am Lin Yun."

"Now, on behalf of the Dragon Country Academy of Sciences and the Ministry of Energy, I announce a decision."

"Starting from the first of next month, all residential electricity, industrial production electricity, and transportation electricity within Dragon Country..."

Lin Yun paused for a second, his gaze like lightning, piercing through the souls of countless people.

...will be completely free!"

The entire live broadcast room instantly fell into a dead silence, followed by a frantic explosion of hundreds of millions of bullet comments.

"Free? Did I hear that right? My God, long live God Lin!"

"Where are those experts who said it violates economic laws? Does your face hurt?"

At the forum, the experts who were just spouting nonsense were now like roosters with their necks squeezed, mouths wide open and unable to say a word.

Lin Yun didn't give these people any time to react; he continued to announce the second directive.

"We will achieve power coverage for all remote mountainous areas and rural villages through wireless transmission towers."

"This is no longer charity; this is the ticket for civilization to step into a Level 2 civilization."

At this moment, in a remote mountain village thousands of miles away...

Old Wang was squatting in front of his dilapidated tile house, looking at the fifteen-watt light bulb he couldn't bear to turn on.

The old cell phone at his waist suddenly rang with a sharp SMS notification.

"[Dragon Country Energy Bureau] Hello, your balance for this month and subsequent electricity bills has been automatically settled to zero. Please feel free to use high-power appliances."

Old Wang rubbed his eyes and stared at that text message five times, his tears hitting the ground with a patter.

"Old woman, quick, plug in that electric heater we've kept for three years!"

"In the future... we never have to fear the cold again!"

In the laboratory in the capital, Lin Yun watched the rapidly rising livelihood happiness curve on the big screen.

But this was only his first step; what he wanted was more than just a domestic celebration.

"Comrade Lin Yun, those Western-leaning experts were just protesting backstage, saying we're going to destroy the global trade system."

Xiao Zhang walked over quickly, a trace of disdainful sneer on his face.

Lin Yun gave a cold smile, "Destroy? I am reshaping it."

"If they're not convinced, then let them continue to struggle in expensive oil and coal."

He strode out of the control room, passing through the alloy corridor filled with a sense of high technology.

He ran head-on into Princess Anna, who had just rushed back.

Anna's eyes no longer held her previous royal arrogance; only deep shock remained.

"Lin, this move of yours has directly driven all those European families who maintain their status through energy hegemony insane."

"Just now, three heads of the Europa League even cried on the phone asking me if I could give them a 'way out'."

Lin Yun stopped his pace, turned his head to look at Anna, and inadvertently rested his hand on her shoulder.

Anna's body trembled slightly, but she did not dodge.

"A way out is something one fights for oneself, not something I give."

Lin Yun's voice became a bit gentler, but it still carried an overbearing air of controlling all things.

"How has your body been feeling lately?"

Anna looked down at her not-yet-bulging abdomen, a flash of tenderness in her eyes.

"A bit nauseous, but more than that, it's a wonderful feeling, as if a massive life force is gestating inside me."

Lin Yun smiled; the system had already given a red countdown in his mind.

It was the gestation process of the sixth S-rank offspring, which was already halfway through.

"Rest well. Dragon Country's medical team will serve you twenty-four hours a day."

"This child will be the Lord of Energy for this new era."

Princess Anna nodded heavily. Although she was a foreign princess, at this moment she only wanted to stay by Lin Yun's side with all her heart.

But in this moment of jubilation, Xiao Zhang suddenly walked over with a grim expression.

He leaned into Lin Yun's ear, his voice so low only the two of them could hear.

"Brother Lin, Dragon Group agents intercepted an encrypted email targeted at you."

"The sender is that 'Black Watch' organization from Eagle Nation."

Lin Yun's gaze instantly turned cold, a flash of killing intent honed from countless black technology blueprints passing through.

"What kind of tricks do they want to play?"

Xiao Zhang took a deep breath, a hint of tremor in his tone.

"The content of the email is only a coordinate and a sentence..."

"'If the sunlight is too dazzling, then let the sun be extinguished'."

Lin Yun sneered, turning his head to look at the roaring Artificial Sun reactor in the distance.

"Extinguish my sun?"

"Then they better ask first if they'll have the life to live until the sun sets."

However, Xiao Zhang's next words made Lin Yun's brow furrow slightly.

"According to the analysis, this coordinate doesn't refer to the reactor, but to the hospital where Princess Anna is due to give birth..."
