Section 132

At a time like this, Dragon Kingdom would have to be out of its mind to want to go head-to-head with the US, resulting in a lose-lose situation and years of economic regression.

Furthermore... and most importantly!

[We must protect this hero, Lin Xian! Even if the nation has to suffer, so be it... how can we let a hero like Lin Xian, who works for the country and the people, be wronged?]

Therefore!

Lin Xian must be protected at all costs.

But...

At this moment, Director Chu Yun had truly reached his limit. "443"...

All night, he had been working hard, racking his brains, and even burning through his own life force to debunk the rumors for Lin Xian!

But this time... faced with such obvious witnesses, physical evidence, and the sight of dozens of acres of wheat falling in unison on the live broadcast...

This time... there was really no way to explain it away!

This was no longer just a matter of weapons of mass destruction... but a much more serious [humanitarian issue]!

In weapon design, there are indeed [Humanitarian Laws].

For example...

International Conventions strictly prohibit the use of bullets with grooves carved into them.

This is because... if there are marks on the bullet, it will explode after entering the human body! Not only will it damage all your internal organs, but the tiny, fragmented shrapnel... can never be removed from the body.

This constitutes a type of inhumane behavior...

Because when a normal bullet is shot into the body, it only causes a through-and-through wound and doesn't shatter... so as long as the person is sent to the hospital, they can be treated in time, the intact bullet can be removed, and then they can be bandaged.

This way, it doesn't affect the course of the war, yet it protects the lives of the soldiers.

After all...

Every soldier has a family, parents, and children...

No one wants war to turn into a killing game.

Of course... that is indeed just a treaty on the surface.

In the shadows...

Countless soldiers love to use combat knives to carve cross-notches on their bullets... the effect is the same: to completely annihilate the opponent!

War... is just that cruel.

But it's as the saying goes—[As a permanent member of the United Nations, when faced with International Conventions and bans... you must at least keep up appearances!]

And now...

This is exactly the problem Director Chu Yun is facing...

General Mike was right; if this [Portable Laser Scythe] with its hundred-meter-long light beam were used on the battlefield... it could absolutely be said to instantly kill thousands of soldiers.

And it would be the kind of absolute kill that cuts them directly in half at the waist!

Organs and intestines would spill out instantly... instant death! There's absolutely no possibility of treatment!

This...

This truly qualifies as a [weapon of mass destruction] and a violation of [Humanitarian Laws]!

He had just used light tubes—sharp light tubes—to force an explanation...

In the current situation, there's no way to get away with the light tube excuse anymore!

What...

What should he do?

At this moment, Director Chu Yun felt an unprecedented sense of despair and darkness...

He looked up.

Full of guilt, he looked at the dashing smile of Lin Xian on the big screen...

His heart felt like it was being pierced by a knife:

"Lin Xian..."

"This time..."

"Is there really no way for me to protect you?"

...

Director Chu Yun's predicament and helplessness...

The netizens of Dragon Kingdom saw it all, and they were anxious in their hearts!

Thus...

A massive number of netizens watching the United Nations Meeting live... swarmed into Lin Xian's livestream room! They began frantically sending distress bullet chats:

"Help, Lin Xian! Over on the US side... they're insisting that your [Portable Laser Scythe] is a weapon of mass destruction! They say... if it were on the battlefield, a 360-degree spin could kill tens of thousands of soldiers, and it's a serious violation of the 'Humanitarian Laws'! They say your invention... isn't agricultural machinery at all! It's munitions!"

"Sigh... Streamer, you've really gone too far this time! Never mind the previous inventions... but today, this [Portable Laser Scythe] with a 100-meter light beam... it's clearly munitions! After all... you won't find such a terrifying scythe anywhere else in the world! Even the scythe of the Grim Reaper isn't this scary! Honestly... if you had been more low-key when producing and selling this weapon... the US wouldn't have found anything to use against you."

"But... to be fair? Streamer, don't you think... the design of your [Portable Laser Scythe] is indeed a bit dangerous! What if... I'm saying what if! What if you're swinging that 100-meter-long Lightsaber to cut wheat... and there's suddenly a farmer planting seedlings that you didn't see... wouldn't he be cut right in half!? I'm not being alarmist... the fields are so big and the stalks are so high... who knows if there's anyone in the field?"

"Yeah... yeah! The netizen above is right... if it were the previous one-meter-long Lightsaber, cutting wheat would be efficient and safe, but a hundred-meter-long [Portable Laser Scythe]... will it really not accidentally injure other farmers? Besides... *cough cough*, if it were really used on the battlefield... wouldn't a 360-degree spin... cut everyone, both enemies and allies, into two within a hundred-meter radius!?"

"Cough cough cough... I say, isn't saying all this in front of Lin Xian like trying to teach a fish how to swim? Who is Lin Xian? Lin Xian is a once-in-a-millennium genius! The Lord of War! The Emperor of Munitions! Ah, pah pah pah... no, I mean, as the owner of Fuqiang Agricultural Machinery Factory, Lin Xian has extensive experience in agricultural production... does he really need you amateurs giving him advice? Anything you can think of... Lin Xian must have thought of it long ago!"

...

Netizens were all talking at once.

The bullet chats scrolled rapidly!

Lin Xian, who always spoiled his fans, would usually read the netizens' bullet chats and answer their questions in a timely manner.

Although the bullet chats were scrolling very, very fast right now... making them hard to see clearly.

He still keenly captured a few keywords:

[Munitions], [Accidental Injury], [Allies], [Cut in Half]...

Being clever, he naturally understood what the netizens wanted to express through these fleeting fragments.

It was nothing more than worrying that his [Portable Laser Scythe] would harm other farmers working the land~

Seeing the netizens' panicked state, Lin Xian smiled gently:

"I've said it many times before... all products produced by our Fuqiang Agricultural Machinery Factory are agricultural machinery intended for agricultural production... it's absolutely impossible for them to be [munitions]."

"The shape of this [Portable Laser Scythe] is a bit strange... but that's also out of consideration for portability! It's funny, really... how could you guys identify it as munitions? It's just too ridiculous..."

Lin Xian spoke with a calm and casual air, as if the netizens were just making a mountain out of a molehill!

He continued calmly:

"Of course, I know what you're worried about... you're definitely worried that when harvesting such a large area of wheat... it might harm other farmers, or the cows, sheep, livestock, and so on in the fields..."

"But... haha, please trust the professionalism of our Fuqiang Agricultural Machinery Factory. As a machinery factory with a long history and excellent professional standards... these safety issues are always our first consideration."

"So... things like accidentally injuring other farmers or animals while using the [Portable Laser Scythe]... that simply won't happen. Look—you'll understand if you look over there, and over here too!"

...

Following Lin Xian's gesture.

Everyone looked in the direction Lin Xian pointed—

Everyone couldn't help but gasp!

This...

How is this possible!?

In the circular area that Lin Xian had "swept" through... because the mature wheat stalks had fallen and the ground had become flat... the wild animals hidden in the field were now exposed!

At the place Lin Xian first pointed...

There was actually a nest of pure white wild rabbits! They were particularly conspicuous in the night! If the surrounding wheat hadn't fallen... no one would have noticed they were nesting here!

However, the most surprising thing was—

Even though all the surrounding wheat had been cut down, with surfaces as smooth as mirrors! But... but this nest of rabbits was perfectly fine! There wasn't a single sign of injury!

...

After discovering the surrounding wheat had fallen, the nest of rabbits instantly sensed danger! They hopped and skipped away, hiding in the uncut wheat outside... and vanished.

Not just these rabbits...

Guided by Lin Xian's finger, netizens discovered many other animals surviving in the farmland...

Like a wild boar running away in a panic, a weasel stunned in place not knowing why the wheat suddenly fell? And many badgers, rock squirrels, and such that were hidden in the fields and rarely seen...

All of them were exposed in the night, looking utterly confused by the sudden collapse of dozens of acres of wheat!

Even more shocking was...

Even though the wheat all around them had been completely cut down, not a single stalk left standing!
