Section 121

Phew...

Director Chu Yun took a sip of tea, satisfied and content, and said with relief: "An agricultural machinery factory should look like an agricultural machinery factory!"

"Lin Xian... he finally knows how to restrain himself and get on the right track!"

Chapter 75 What the hell... Do you have some kind of misunderstanding about agricultural equipment?

What Lin Xian said received unanimous agreement from the netizens of the Dragon Kingdom!

Indeed...

Harvesting wheat is not an easy job; it is simply several times more tiring, troublesome, and arduous than planting!

In some agriculturally developed areas, or areas where farmers have relatively good incomes... they can still use large harvesters to complete the harvest, which is indeed very convenient.

However...

For those places where the roads are bad and harvesters cannot enter, the fields themselves are not large, and the farmers' living standards are not high... they certainly cannot bear the cost of using large harvesters.

Then they must use traditional harvesting methods—using a sickle, bending down, and cutting the wheat down blade by blade...

Just as Lin Xian said...

This is truly a physically demanding job that is quite exhausting for the back!

That kind of agricultural sickle... for safety reasons, is far less sharp than one might imagine!

It can be said that every time one bends over and exerts force, it is a torture to the lumbar spine and lumbar muscles...

This is also why many farmers have back pain after they get old.

But... having said that!

What Lin Xian said is true... but can simply manufacturing a sharper, more portable sickle... really solve the core problem?

Consequently... the online livestream chat room instantly erupted in heated discussion:

"I live in the countryside... I can testify that everything Lin Xian said is the truth! When I was a child, I often went to the fields to harvest wheat with my parents and grandfather... Thinking about that feeling now, it was really unbearable! Can you imagine bending over for a whole day... and then when the sun goes down... feeling like your back is broken? You have to lie at home for several days and still not recover!"

"Although many places have started renting large harvesters for harvesting now... that is limited to economically developed areas and places with relatively good rural roads. We have a lot of wetlands here... agricultural machinery like harvesters and tractors can't even dream of getting in! One comes in and breaks down on the road... the roads are too muddy and the tires slip infinitely! So... up to now, we still use the old-fashioned method of using a sickle to harvest wheat here."

"What I am confused about is... will this [ Portable Laser Scythe ] designed by Lin Xian really be practical? It does sound like another piece of black technology... but it hasn't changed the essence of a sickle, has it? Even if it is a very sharp sickle... don't you still have to bend down to harvest? In the end, it still hurts your own back... If you ask me, Lin Xian might as well have invented a portable harvester, haha!"

"Ahem... you kids are really too young, aren't you? At this point... do you still firmly believe that Lin Xian is just the boss of an agricultural machinery factory (dog head)? That's just a joke! He is clearly a [ Lord of War of the military factory, a military emperor! ] Hahahaha... If you consider it from the perspective of military weapons... don't you think the name Portable Laser Scythe sounds a bit cool and badass?"

"Hahahaha... Yeah, yeah! It's come to this now... do you still think the products Lin Xian invents will just be ordinary sickles? Are you all as easy to fool as General Mike (dog head)? Let me ask one thing... tonight, when has Lin Xian ever disappointed you? When has he never shocked you? And when have you ever... guessed the product Lin Xian manufactured? Don't try to guess the thinking of a genius; you won't be able to guess it!"

At this moment.

People all over the world were paying attention to Lin Xian's livestream room.

They were also very curious...

What kind of agricultural tool would this [ Portable Laser Scythe ] actually be?

It sounds... like it's really high-end!

But a sickle... even if you modify it into a flower! Isn't it still a sickle?

At this moment, Director Chu Yun was thinking the same thing.

He sipped his tea leisurely and analyzed it seriously: "The structure of a sickle is too simple... it's just a sharp iron blade plus a wooden handle... If you really want to carry out mechanical modification, there isn't much room for improvement."

"Judging from the name [ Portable Laser Scythe ]... Lin Xian's product focuses on two aspects: portability and the laser attribute."

"It's not hard to analyze that... he basically just made the sickle blade a bit sharper, and then changed the wooden handle structure to a foldable one... This way, the sickle can become a bit more portable."

Director Chu Yun was very satisfied with his analysis.

He felt that he could already keep up with Lin Xian's train of thought!

Even... before seeing the actual object... he could already imagine the prototype of the product!

This was a huge improvement!

The secretary listened to Director Chu Yun's theoretical analysis and nodded in agreement:

"Yes... this time I also think... Director Chu, it seems you have no chance to appear, and General Mike will definitely not be able to find any dirt or pick any faults."

"After all... [ No matter how sharp a sickle is, isn't it still a sickle? Even if it can be folded to the size of a palm... isn't it still a sickle? ]"

" [ Could it be... that Lin Xian can really turn a sickle into a horrifying military weapon? ]"

"Since no matter how it changes, it is still a sickle... then! As an agricultural equipment manufacturer, isn't it very reasonable for Lin Xian's Fuqiang Agricultural Machinery Factory to manufacture sickles?"

After listening, Director Chu Yun... completely relaxed.

Reasonable!

Very reasonable!

"This time... I can really get off work immediately!"

In the livestream footage.

Lin Xian had finished explaining his design philosophy and was preparing to enter the next phase: the physical demonstration.

As Lin Xian walked toward the mature wheat field next to him, he pointed at the farmers in the field using traditional sickles to harvest wheat and said:

"Everyone, please look... these farmers using traditional sickles to harvest wheat have such low efficiency. They bend over several times and still can't cut a small patch of wheat... and the shape of the sickle itself is not very friendly; carrying it usually is not only tiring but also easy to hurt yourself."

"Therefore... this [ Portable Laser Scythe ] I designed... perfectly solves these two shortcomings! Now... let me show you what this product looks like—"

As he spoke... Lin Xian started reaching into his pocket!

This scene!

It truly shocked the netizens watching the livestream:

"Holy crap!? What is going on!? I... I was waiting for Lin Xian to take out that sickle from somewhere... I thought it would be from his back, from a warehouse, from a car... at the very least, he should take it out of a backpack. Looking at what Lin Xian means... [ Could it be that the sickle is just stored in his pants pocket!? ]"

"Huh?? I am stunned to death. Just now, hearing Lin Xian talk so seriously... I actually thought Lin Xian was starting to sell serious agricultural tools! But I never expected... the word 'serious' doesn't exist in Lin Xian's dictionary! Does he really know what a sickle looks like!? Does he really know!?"

"A... a sickle that can fit in a pants pocket!? This is too outrageous no matter how you think about it. This makes... this makes me start to doubt my own life values and worldview over all these years! Even if this [ Portable Laser Scythe ] by Lin Xian focuses on portability... a sickle that can be folded up and put into a pants pocket... is simply too inconceivable!"

"Ahem, ahem... at this point, why are there still people here making a fuss? This is Lin Xian! What you are facing... is the once-in-a-millennium super genius of the Dragon Kingdom, Lin Xian. Don't use your shallow thinking to guess the ideas of such a genius... besides, why can't a sickle be folded into a pants pocket? Just because you can't do it... doesn't mean Lin Xian can't."

"Phew... thinking about it carefully, are we overreacting a bit? We always feel that such a big sickle can't possibly be folded down to this size... but for Lin Xian, what is impossible? He is a man who creates miracles himself! Besides... even if the sickle is folded into a pants pocket... isn't it still a sickle? What is there to panic about?"

"No matter how you look at it... the volume of this sickle is too small, right? At first, I thought that if a sickle could be folded and put into a pants pocket... that would be a very ingenious structure! I didn't expect that I was still too young... Lin Xian actually manufactured the sickle into the shape of a ballpoint pen! This... how on earth is this used!?"

Everyone was a bit stunned to see Lin Xian reaching into his pocket!

I really can't believe it... a sickle can actually be pulled out of a pants pocket!

Some people even started to worry... Lin Xian has been walking for so long... wouldn't that folded sickle accidentally hurt his manhood!?

Even... many netizens started to question the rationality of Lin Xian's invention—dare I ask, what warrior would dare to put a sickle in their pants pocket? It really hurts just thinking about it.

Sure enough... the secretary, who was just as relaxed and happy as Director Chu Yun, waiting to get off work... suddenly developed a strong sixth sense!

Her eyelid started twitching...

"Director Chu... I have a feeling..."

"Hehe, it's okay, I know what you are worrying about."

Director Chu Yun smiled and took a sip of tea.

He savored it and said leisurely: "You just can't figure out... why Lin Xian would take the sickle out of his pants pocket..."

"The thing about a sickle... its specifications and shapes are different all over the country; in some places, the sickles are very large, and in some places, the sickles are very small."

Director Chu Yun chuckled as if guaranteeing it, picked up his teacup, and said while drinking water:
