Section 125

General Mike's roar caused Director Chu Yun to awkwardly freeze in the motion of reaching for his thermos.

"Ahem... Awkward. He actually saw right through it..."

But Director Chu Yun really had no choice! If he could think of a reason to explain it... did they think he wanted to do a tactical sip?

He'd drunk so much water tonight... his bladder was about to give out!

Of course... what was even less bearable than his bladder was Director Chu Yun's current state of mind... Under the gaze of the whole world and the urging of General Mike!

His composure... was truly about to explode!

"Didn't you insist repeatedly that everything Lin Xian manufactured was agricultural equipment and farm tools?"

"This [Lightsaber]... is clearly a weapon, clearly military hardware, and military hardware that far surpasses Earth's technology at that!"

"I suspect... the Dragon Kingdom has betrayed all of humanity! Colluded with aliens! It is very likely that they traded the fate of humanity and Earth's resources for technological aid from aliens."

The more General Mike spoke, the more outrageous he became! If he kept going... he might just write a whole volume of The Three-Body Problem right there!

Director Chu Yun gritted his teeth! To avoid causing unnecessary social impact and unrealistic speculation about the Dragon Kingdom from the rest of the world... he had to speak up!

Even if he hadn't thought of a reason to handle General Mike yet... he had to stop him! He couldn't let him continue!

He had no choice but to... bite the bullet and go for it!

"Hehe, hehe..." Director Chu Yun gave a fake, profound laugh, then feigned relaxation, crossed his legs, folded his hands on his lap, and put on an expression of being in total control. Then... he said solemnly:

"Hehe... Mr. Mike, I have absolutely no idea what you are worrying about."

"This so-called Lightsaber... don't you have plenty of them in your country's Disneyland? Almost every child in every household has one... Oh, and adults probably have even more."

General Mike was furious! What nonsense was this guy spouting!?

"How is that the same!?" General Mike roared: "The Lightsabers sold at our Disneyland... those are toys, children's toys!"

"Hehe..." Director Chu Yun chuckled, and said calmly: "[Then... how do you know that the Lightsaber in Lin Xian's hand isn't a toy?]"

For a moment... the whole venue went silent! Even General Mike's mouth, which had just opened to roar, was stuck in his throat... he couldn't get the shout out no matter what!

This... this! Could he really do that!?

For a moment, General Mike immediately wanted to refute Director Chu Yun, to insist that the Lightsaber in Lin Xian's hand was a weapon, was military hardware, was alien technology!

But... he suddenly felt that he had absolutely no evidence. He was about to choke to death!

At this moment... he truly felt very pathetic! He even began to doubt himself—[Could it be... that the Lightsaber in Lin Xian's hand really is just a toy?]

Sensing General Mike's doubt, Director Chu Yun felt he had a chance! He immediately pressed his advantage and continued making things up:

"Do you think what I said makes a lot of sense? Honestly... you are such an old man, how can you still be like a child, believing that Star Wars is real, and believing that there could really be [Lightsabers] in this world?"

"It wasn't that I didn't answer your question immediately just now... I really couldn't help but laugh! I held it in for a long time before I could stop! Hahaha... something like a Lightsaber... how could it possibly appear in the real world! [Have you ever seen a beam of light that stops halfway? If that were really the case... Albert Einstein wouldn't be able to keep his coffin lid closed!]"

"So you see... there's no such thing as a Lightsaber! It's just an ordinary scythe... As for that blue beam of light... isn't it obviously just a [Fluorescent Lighting Tube]!"

"You must know... many times, in order to finish the autumn harvest on time, farmers have to cut wheat and harvest crops in the middle of the night under the moonlight... places like the countryside certainly don't have streetlights."

"[So Lin Xian is truly thoughtful... by installing a lighting tube on the scythe... couldn't that allow farmers to work normally at night and see their surroundings clearly?]"

The moment Director Chu Yun's words fell—Boom! Boom! Boom! The Dragon Kingdom netizens in the live stream were boiling! Countless Hahaha barrage messages flooded the screen! Even more netizens were laughing so hard their stomachs hurt! Rolling on the floor crazily:

"Ahahahaha! A lighting tube... a lighting tube! Director Chu Yun actually said the Lightsaber is just a lighting tube... he is just too good at making things up! Oh, I can't... I'm literally dying of laughter! Lighting tube... hahahaha... I can laugh at this joke for a lifetime! Director Chu Yun's imagination is just too big... I was really worried just now that he wouldn't be able to keep making it up!"

"Look at General Mike's expression... it's as uncomfortable as if he'd eaten sh*t! His whole face has turned green! It looks like... he really has a belly full of words he wants to say, but can't get them out no matter what, like he's about to choke to death! But thinking about it carefully, it's true... standing in General Mike's position... there's absolutely no way to determine if the Lightsaber in Lin Xian's hand is a toy! After all, when it comes to Lightsabers... there are just too many toys of them on the market!"

"Yes... Star Wars is the most popular movie abroad, bar none... especially in the US, almost everyone is a loyal Star Wars fan! Disney officially releases many Lightsaber toys every year... the cheaper ones are just ordinary lighting tubes, the more expensive ones have high technological content... they are telescopic, the effect is about the same as the [Portable Laser Scythe] in Lin Xian's hand, press the button and a beam of light pops out instantly!"

"You all say Lin Xian is a once-in-a-millennium genius, but I think otherwise! Director Chu Yun is the real once-in-a-millennium logic genius! Tell me... if it were any of you, who could have held out until now in the United Nations venue? Anyway, if it were me... I probably would have collapsed at the very beginning! If it weren't for having an especially big imagination and profound knowledge... so many outrageous yet reasonable reasons... you really couldn't make them up!"

"Hahahaha! General Mike is really questioning his life! Especially that line from Director Chu Yun 'When have you ever seen a beam of light that stops halfway?'... it really stunned General Mike on the spot! He even managed to make up that... the function of this lighting tube is to assist farmers in cutting wheat at night! I really admire him to the point of prostration! My knees are swollen from kneeling!"

The netizens guessed right. At this moment, in General Mike's heart... he was indeed truly a bit persuaded by Director Chu Yun!

After all... things like the previous Artificial Rainfall Bomb, mechs, laser Drones, and such... actually have theoretical foundations in current scientific fields. It's just that Lin Xian brought these existing theories to the extreme.

But [Lightsabers] are different! Not only do they lack any theoretical basis... they are a completely unscientific, fantastical concept! Just as Director Chu Yun said...
