Section 123

"This size... it is probably much smaller than you all imagined, right? Just like what you described... it is only the size of a ballpoint pen. It is also very light. Because it is solid, it is definitely a bit heavier than a ballpoint pen... like the weight of a fountain pen, but it is still much lighter than a traditional scythe."

"Because it is lightweight and small in volume... its [Portability] is absolutely maxed out! This way... our farmers do not have to run around carrying scythes anymore... They can put it in their pockets, in their bags, or even tuck it behind their ears... This is not only convenient but also avoids the risk of getting cut by a scythe!"

Although Lin Xian kept explaining how perfect the portability of this Portable Laser Scythe was... the netizens in the livestream room were not listening at all!

What they cared about was not [Portability] at all! It was [Practicality]!

After all! A scythe is a scythe... its biggest function is to cut wheat! No matter what kind of scythe it is, as long as it can cut wheat, it is a good scythe!

But then again... if a scythe cannot even cut wheat... then it cannot be called a scythe.

Take this "ballpoint pen" in Lin Xian's hand, for example. Its volume is just too small! One hand can hold it entirely! With a size like this... how is it supposed to cut wheat?

More importantly... a scythe is a blade! A blade! A blade! A blade!

The ballpoint pen in Lin Xian's hand does not even have a sharp blade! Is he expecting people to poke the wheat with the pen tip?

Consequently... the netizens in the livestream were frantically asking questions:

"Can this thing really cut wheat?"

"Is the streamer sure he is not drunk?"

"Where is the blade! I cannot see it at all!"

"Is this going to be a disaster? Do not do this, streamer! I am already a die-hard fan of yours!"

Lin Xian naturally saw these anxious comments from the netizens.

He did not beat around the bush or keep them in suspense; he said directly:

"I see many netizens... are wondering about the practicality of this scythe, whether it can actually cut wheat..."

"The answer is definitely yes! Although its shape is very different from a traditional scythe... this was done for the sake of portability. At the same time... its powerful harvesting capability does not require such a large volume, which is why it could be manufactured into something as small as a ballpoint pen."

"As for... where the blade is, which everyone is concerned about... hehe, this is the key to this [Portable Laser Scythe]! The way this scythe cuts wheat does not rely on a traditional sharp blade, but rather utilizes a brand-new energy form—"

"[Laser Beam!]"

Bang——————

Hearing this name! Director Chu Yun immediately slammed his hand on the table and stood up!

Laser... Laser Beam!?

Isn't this an energy form that is purely conceptual!?

Right now, there is absolutely zero theoretical support for it.

As the Director of National Defense of the Dragon Kingdom... in fact, before meeting Lin Xian, he had always firmly believed that he was at the forefront of the weapons research field... until Lin Xian appeared and dealt him such an embarrassing dimensionality reduction strike.

Things like laser weapons... are being researched all over the world.

The most advanced product currently in use... should be considered the [High-Frequency Laser Knife]!

This is a product from the Bear Country's military industrial laboratory, and its shape is just a very ordinary dagger... Its main method of attack is through high-frequency vibration, causing the blade to produce tiny but extremely rapid amplitudes! This is how it achieves powerful cutting force!

However... because this thing consumes a huge amount of electricity, it can only exist in the laboratory.

After all... you cannot have soldiers holding laser knives with several people behind them carrying a generator, right? It is not practical at all!

As for the [Laser Beam], it is a purely conceptual conjecture proposed by that laboratory.

The scientists there believe... there should be such an energy form that can self-constrain within a certain beam space and rely on atomic vibration to generate powerful cutting energy, without needing to rely on external electricity!

But... that is only in theory.

Whether it actually exists, whether it can be realized, or in other words... whether it truly exists at all, is a mystery!

At that time, that scientist said that whoever could [verify] the existence of a Laser Beam would definitely be able to easily win the Nobel Prize in Physics!

But Director Chu Yun never expected... that today! Here!

Lin Xian not only verified the Laser Beam! But it is very likely... [He has already matured and commercialized the Laser Beam technology!]

Wouldn't that make winning Nobel Prizes easy as pie!?

No... no, no, no...

Director Chu Yun suddenly realized... the Nobel Prize is not even worthy of Lin Xian!

Or rather—[Lin Xian, he does not need the Nobel Prize to prove himself! But... the Nobel Prize needs Lin Xian to prove—that they are not some bush-league award! That they are professional!]

There was no time for the netizens to be shocked and discuss.

Lin Xian intended to show everyone the actual effect... of what a Laser Beam is!

He turned the ballpoint pen in his hand upside down, with the end containing the button facing down:

"The method to activate this scythe, which is to eject the Laser Beam, is very simple... you just need to press this button."

"Do not worry about the beam hurting you... it is very safe."

As he said this, Lin Xian pressed the small button on the "ballpoint pen," also known as the [Portable Laser Scythe] device—

Click.

A crisp sound, just like a ballpoint pen.

But the next second!

Swish——————

The sound of high-energy ionizing air!

Instantly, from the tip of the "ballpoint pen"!

A blue, straight, uniformly thick beam of light shot out!

Normally, light propagates infinitely in a straight line... but this Laser Beam!

It was as if it were constrained by a force field!

Its length was about a meter long, its thickness was a bit thicker than the ballpoint pen itself, and there was no extra noise!

Its state was very stable, just like a meteor frozen in time in the dark night sky.
