Section 133

But on these wild animals... there truly wasn't a single trace of injury! It could be said they were completely unharmed.

This...

What on earth is going on?

For a moment...

The netizens' CPUs were practically burning out—

"Holy crap? Holy crap? What the hell is the situation? I really don't have enough brain cells for this... Why was the wheat around these wild animals all cut down in one clean sweep... but the animals themselves are unscathed? Is... is... is this scientific? What's the deal here?"

"Brothers... I'm honestly dumbfounded. What's the principle behind this? Just now... we clearly saw the hundred-meter-long light beam of the [Portable Laser Scythe] sweep across! Dozens of acres of wheat collapsed with a crash... but! In the process! Not a single wild animal was accidentally injured!? How was this even achieved!?"

"This... this really isn't scientific! It's completely irrational! I suddenly feel like our IQs are being utterly crushed by Lin Xian! This operation that left us staring blankly, with our brains fried and unable to comprehend... might be the most basic function in the eyes of the great boss Lin Xian! Hahaha... I'm really being flexed on by Lin Xian! Lin Xian is the GOAT!"

"Hmph~ I said it before... what does Lin Xian do? He's a professional arms manufacturer... bah! He's a professional agricultural tool maker! You guys were actually here seriously giving Lin Xian suggestions... it's like teaching a fish how to swim! But... what's really going on here? Stop keeping us in suspense, Lin Xian! Hurry up and tell us!"

...

Under the urging of the netizens, Lin Xian stopped keeping them in suspense and began to explain to everyone:

"In the programming of this Portable Laser Scythe... I set up a [Species Identification System]. Simply put... I blocked the laser beam from identifying all [animals], and only unlocked the identification for [plants]!"

"Therefore... this Portable Laser Scythe can only cause damage to plants and cannot cause any harm to animals at all. Thus... everyone has no need to worry about the Portable Laser Scythe hurting people."

As he spoke.

Lin Xian directly picked up the Portable Laser Scythe and used the laser beam to sweep back and forth across himself!

This scene truly terrified everyone!

They covered their eyes! They didn't dare to look at the scene of Lin Xian being sliced into "diced meat."

But...

A miraculous thing happened.

That seemingly ruthless and murderous laser beam... actually just passed straight through Lin Xian's body! Yet it caused no harm to his body whatsoever!

In contrast...

The evenly cut wheat stalks behind Lin Xian... were sliced into several more pieces under the rapid sweep of the laser beam!

Hiss!

This scene...

Truly shocked everyone.

This Species Identification System... is truly an invincible thing! It really only causes damage to plants, but won't cause any harm to animals or the human body!

...

On the other hand, looking at General Mike at this moment...

He was directly so angry he nearly fainted!

You're calling this a [Species Identification System]!?

Dammit! Since it's a program! Then it can definitely be manually modified!

In this situation, you only need to slightly modify the parameters...

Doesn't it then become a [Friend-or-Foe Identification System]!?!?

"[It's already reached the level of having a Friend-or-Foe Identification System! Does it still not count as a weapon of war!?]"

Chapter 82: [Three Special Gifts]! For Hunters, Herdsmen, and Fishermen! Sorry, we're late!

"In the programming of this Portable Laser Scythe... I set up a [Species Identification System]. Simply put... I blocked the laser beam from identifying all [animals], and only unlocked the identification for [plants]!"

"Therefore... this Portable Laser Scythe can only cause damage to plants and cannot cause any harm to animals at all. Thus... everyone has no need to worry about the Portable Laser Scythe hurting people."

...

Lin Xian's words were a sudden realization for the netizens.

Oh my god!

It's just a scythe, brother!

Is it worth putting in this much effort!?

Countless netizens suddenly felt... that they weren't even worthy of using this scythe! They posted bullet comments one after another to express their shock:

"This damn thing actually has a [Species Identification System]!? There's too much black technology crammed into this small scythe! I feel like I'm not even worthy of using it! Whether it's the laser beam... or this Species Identification System... any one of these taken alone is enough to shock the world! And Lin Xian... actually used it on a scythe so nonchalantly!"

"It's truly incredible! Lin Xian's thinking is too meticulous! To think he considered the common people to such an extent! I'm literally crying! But hehehe, I have a bold idea! You guys say... since this species identification can be set to only harm plants and not animals... doesn't that mean! If Lin Xian wanted to... he could completely reverse the setting to [only harm animals and not plants]?"

"Great minds think alike! I was thinking the exact same thing! What this Portable Laser Scythe can identify, what it can block, and what it can harm... isn't it all just a matter of one line of code, one setting from Lin Xian? Since he can set it to only harm plants... he can set it so this laser beam can only harm enemy troops!"

"Hiss, hearing you guys say that... isn't this just an exceptionally advanced [Friend-or-Foe Identification System]!? My god! If... if some military district really snatched up the Portable Laser Scythe... they'd just need to pay Lin Xian a visit and ask him to help modify the design... wouldn't that be a super weapon that could slaughter the enemy camp without harming a single ally!? It's more advanced than any weapon in the world!"

"Hahaha! Imagine that scene: a company of our soldiers, each waving a 100-meter laser blade and charging at the enemy... just like hundreds of octopuses waving tentacles! Too terrifying! And it achieves something no other modern weapon can—[Friendly Fire Immunity]. This point is simply too strong."

Meanwhile...

At the United Nations conference site...

Director Chu Yun was dumbfounded, then had a sudden epiphany.

This Portable Laser Scythe...

Actually can only cut wheat and cannot cause any harm to animals!?

This...

Isn't this heaven helping me!

Isn't this a reason that can be logically explained, logically debunked, and logically fabricated!?

Thank the Bodhisattva!

Thank science!

Thank Lin Xian!

At this very moment—

Chu Yun!

Finally had inspiration and knew how to explain this terrifying "Weapon of Mass Destruction"!

The ultimate reversal...

Often happens in an instant!

Chu Yun, who was a bit defeated and desperate just now... immediately wore a smile that, though a bit tired, was confident and composed.

Facing General Mike, who was aggressively questioning him, Chu Yun picked up his thermos—which was already "battered" and smashed "out of shape"—held it in his hand, crossed his legs leisurely on the sofa again, and said with a smile:

"Weapon of Mass Destruction? Hahaha... General Mike, you actually call a scythe a weapon of mass destruction? I must say... your eyes are truly dirty; everything you see looks dirty to you..."

"Remember when you invaded a certain small oil-rich country? Back then, you were calling a stag a horse, calling black white... You stood before the world's reporters, holding a tube of laundry detergent, insistently saying it was evidence of that small oil-rich country's research into weapons of mass destruction... and subsequently invaded them."

"But this time... China will never allow your slander and conspiracies to succeed! You heard what Lin Xian said in the livestream just now... this [Portable Laser Scythe]... has a [Species Identification System] installed... So even though this scythe looks very powerful and sharp... it can only cause damage to plants and cannot harm a single hair on a person or animal!"

"Therefore..."

Chu Yun smiled and spread his hands, putting on an innocent look:

"[This Portable Laser Scythe... has no capability to harm humans at all... including armor, tanks, and buildings... it has no lethality. So... how can it be considered a military weapon? Much less some ridiculous weapon of mass destruction... it simply has no killing power!]"

"[Rather... precisely because this Portable Laser Scythe only has the ability to cut plants... therefore! This scythe produced by the Fuqiang Agricultural Machinery Factory where Lin Xian is located... is a true, solid, and authentic agricultural tool!]"

...

Director Chu Yun's deadpan explanation triggered a burst of laughter at the United Nations conference!

No one was a fool...

They could see at a glance that this so-called [Species Identification System]... was a textbook [Friend-or-Foe Identification System]!

This move by China—stealing the beams and pillars, crossing the sea under cover, grafting one branch onto another—was simply too brilliant!

For a moment, the representatives of various countries in the audience burst into laughter and whispered among themselves:

"To use an old Chinese saying... it's truly a case of 'where the hills and streams end and one thinks there is no path, the shade of willows and bright flowers bring one to another village!' I have to say... China is truly blessed! Just now... it looked like Director Chu Yun had been pushed to a dead end, completely unable to explain or fabricate any further... but in the blink of an eye! This wave of divine assistance from Lin Xian came so timely... he actually told the whole world—the Portable Laser Scythe can only cut plants! It cannot cause any harm to animals!"

"Hahahaha... isn't this just a trick to fool children? Calling it a Species Identification System... the name sounds legit, but! Anyone with clear eyes can see... this is the [Friend-or-Foe Identification System] that every country in the world dreams of! In modern warfare... all weapons are indiscriminate; they can kill enemies and allies alike. But now... Lin Xian has finally made a breakthrough in this technology!"

"Yeah... Lin Xian's move is simply too brilliant! Directly designing the Friend-or-Foe Identification System to... only harvest wheat and not cause any harm to animals or humans... this way he can directly shut America's mouth! But... hehehe, everyone knows deep down that since it can be set to cut wheat, it can be set to cut tanks, aircraft carriers, buildings, and so on... isn't it just a matter of one line of code?"

"Hiss... I originally thought the lethality of this Portable Laser Scythe was already impressive enough... but I never expected it! It actually has such strong [modifiability and programmability]! It's simply too terrifying! I can already imagine... perhaps after being heavily modified by the Chinese Military... this Portable Laser Scythe can adapt to any form of battlefield! It can easily avoid harming its own side while harming others, performing selective kills!"

"It's truly an ultimate reversal... an ultimate comeback! The Chinese nation... is truly as if helped by the gods! Just now, Director Chu Yun was indeed pushed to a dead end... I even broke into a cold sweat and couldn't help but worry for him... but I never expected! This cross-server chat between Lin Xian and Chu Yun... actually brought the situation back to life! Hahahaha!"

At this moment...

At the United Nations conference site.

General Mike's brain matter was truly boiling with rage!

Even the netizens could see... this so-called Species Identification System was completely a [Friend-or-Foe Identification System] under a different name!

As the Director of National Defense, as a weapons expert, could he not see it!?

Dammit...
