Section 136

Can't spend it all, simply can't spend it all!

So, these mere three prototype [Portable Laser Scythes]... I'll just treat them as a benefit! A way to give back to the fans!

At the same time...

Regarding this sudden influx of massive funding, Lin Xian had his own plans—

Since there's now sufficient R&D funding.

Then from now on!

Let's research some [big guys]!

For example... a [Controllable Nuclear Fusion Artificial Sun] that can directly replace sunlight!

Or... an [All-in-one Planting and Harvesting Aerospace Carrier] specifically for large-scale collective farming in rural areas!

For these projects that require massive R&D funding... Lin Xian had actually drawn up the blueprints long ago. It was only because of a lack of money... that they hadn't been started.

But now...

Everything! Is! Ready!

At this moment.

People all over the world were glued to the livestream, waiting for the [Portable Laser Scythe] to go on sale... and for the subsequent reveal of the [three gifts for hunters, herdsmen, and fishermen]!

Meanwhile, in the general command center of the [Dragon Country Special Forces] on the outskirts of the Dragon Country capital... the Special Forces General had already made over a dozen humble, almost groveling phone calls!

Someone of his high status... had never been so humble!

But a true man knows when to yield and when to stand tall!

For the future of the Dragon Country Special Forces... for their ranking in the world... for the honor of the nation...

What's wrong with bowing his head to his own people?

After all, they're all family!

Seeing that Lin Xian was about to put the [Portable Laser Scythe] up for sale... and there were only three of them!

He was so anxious that sweat beaded on his forehead, and his phone was practically smoking from all the calls—

“Hello? Is this my dear big brother from the Artillery Corps? Hahaha, it's your little brother from the Special Forces! Oh, no, no... you're the big brother! I just wanted to ask a favor, cough cough! The [Portable Laser Scythes] Lin Xian is about to list... could you let us have them? This thing is practically tailor-made for our Special Forces! Your range is so long... you don't need these!”

“Big brother from the Border Defense Force, long time no see! Congratulations on buying Lin Xian's Agricultural Mecha prototype! That's the only prototype in the world! You'll be absolutely unstoppable from now on! Those guys from India will run faster than monkeys when they see you! By the way... since you've already got the prototype... you won't compete with your little brother for the [Portable Laser Scythe], right? I'm begging you, please let us have it!”

“Cough, is this big brother from the Air Force? Congratulations on securing Lin Xian's Laser Diffusion Drones! Let's see who dares to challenge you in the sky now. What? You say it wasn't you who got them, but the Ministry of Agriculture? Oh... we all know the truth! Stop pretending! By the way, big brother, can we borrow the Tianhe-2 Supercomputer for a bit?”

“Big brother from the Army, my dear brother, we're brothers in arms, so I won't stand on ceremony... You've already snatched up so many mechas, so please let the Special Forces have the [Portable Laser Scythe] this time! This thing is practically custom-made for us by Lin Xian! It perfectly suits our combat environment and assault requirements!”

“Hello? Is this big brother from the Navy? Big brother, give me some face, give me some face... The [Portable Laser Scythe] isn't really that useful for you. You can't exactly send people to swim over with it, can you? It's not like we have any Navy SEALs! But... hehehe! Although we don't have Navy SEALs... we have our Special Forces! Leave the task of swimming underwater with a Lightsaber to chop up warships to us!”

...

After making countless phone calls.

“Whew...”

The Special Forces General breathed a sigh of relief:

“Finally, it's all arranged... All those years of doing favors and cleaning up their messes weren't for nothing... As the most combat-effective and adaptable all-around unit among all the branches of the Dragon Country military... we've really done a lot of dirty work for them.”

“But they're loyal enough... they all agreed not to compete with us for the [Portable Laser Scythe] this time! The Air Force even lent us the Tianhe-2 computer... This time, we are determined to win!”

After the General finished speaking.

He turned his head to look at the calendar on the desk, where a date half a month away was circled in black pen.

And above the black circle, a line of text was written—

[2023 International Military Competition]

This was the highest-level, most competitive competition globally, and the one that best reflected a country's actual military capabilities!

All the world's military powers would participate, and the team sent by Dragon Country... was the [Dragon Country Special Forces]!

The General clenched his fists, his eyes full of fire:

“How can we, the Dragon Country Special Forces, lose face for our country and people? In this military competition... we must take the championship!”

“I've already thought it through—”

“[When the time comes, we'll go in carrying a bunch of farm tools! We'll put together a full set of products from Lin Xian's Fuqiang Agricultural Machinery Factory! With that, how could we possibly fail to win the championship?!]”

“After all, we are a major agricultural nation... If a war really breaks out, everyone picking up scythes and hoes to become soldiers... that's very [reasonable], right?”

Chapter 84: International Military Competition! Dragon Country really went in carrying farm tools! The scene is too beautiful!

Finally!

Ding...

With a crisp sound, a small red '1' suddenly popped up on the little yellow cart icon in the bottom right corner of Lin Xian's livestream!

This meant... new stock was listed!

The [Portable Laser Scythe] invented by Lin Xian was finally on sale!

“Grab it! Grab it!”

“I can't fail to grab even one thing today, can I?”

“Damn! It's gone again! When will Lin Xian's Fuqiang Agricultural Machinery Factory restore its production capacity!”

“Hiss... that speed! It must be an official organization using a supercomputer to grab it!”

As usual... sold out in an instant!

Everyone immediately checked the purchase list... wanting to see the buyer's ID and find out who the lucky person was!

Soon, the answer surfaced!

This account, with lightning speed and a near-microsecond response time, snatched all three Portable Laser Scythes! The ID was—

[Dragon Country Greenhouse Cultivation Technology Research Institute]!

...

...

...

Hahahahaha

Seeing this strange yet somehow familiar ID... netizens across Dragon Country felt a wave of amusement! They burst out laughing:

“Ahahaha! Dragon Country Greenhouse Cultivation Technology Research Institute... What the hell! Such a serious agricultural research institute... it must be a big shot from a military region using a proxy account, right? There's no way I'd believe... such a powerful Portable Laser Scythe... would be bought by a greenhouse research organization! Hahaha... After the previous incidents, the military regions of Dragon Country have smartened up... they know how to use proxy accounts now!”

“Greenhouse Cultivation Technology Research Institute... Pffft, hahaha! Are you trying to kill me with laughter and inherit my debt? I think... the organization in all of Dragon Country that would least want the scythe Lin Xian built... is probably one that does greenhouse cultivation! The length of Lin Xian's Portable Laser Scythe... is often 100 meters long! If you tried to harvest in a greenhouse with that... wouldn't you poke a hole in the greenhouse in a split second?”

“Although it's funny... I have to say, this kind of proxy buying is truly a commendable and encouraged behavior! At least... our beloved Director Chu Yun doesn't have to worry about explaining things anymore! Sigh... I really feel for Director Chu Yun! Just now... he had already put his thermos in his briefcase and was ready to leave work early... but he didn't expect that because of one sentence from Lin Xian, he'd have to come back and work painful overtime! That expression of his... it really made me not know whether to laugh or cry!”

“Damn! Sold out in an instant again... What the hell! Lin Xian sold so many products tonight... and I didn't get a single one! I think everyone can guess... this kind of military-grade weaponry that far exceeds world technology... Alright, we're all on the same side here, so let's not worry too much, those who know, know! I mean, with things that far surpass modern technology... how could the big shots in Dragon Country's military regions let them go? They must be using supercomputers to grab them... there's no way we could ever get them!”

“Just keep a level head! This kind of stuff... once the Fuqiang Agricultural Machinery Factory's renovation is complete and production capacity is restored... won't they be available in unlimited quantities? Plus... Lin Xian already said that starting tomorrow, 2 million bottles of Genetic Potion will be listed every day. There will be a time when we can get it! Since the soldiers of Dragon Country's military regions need the products Lin Xian produces... then let the country use them first! We can definitely wait for the mass-produced versions.”

...

At this moment.

In the general command room of the [Dragon Country Special Forces], the Special Forces General excitedly clenched his fist and shouted:

“Beautiful!”

“Thanks to the comrades from the other military regions for giving us face... we finally managed to secure the only three [Portable Laser Scythes] for the Special Forces!”

“Rest assured, fellow comrades! We will definitely not let down your trust and support! In the '2023 International Military Competition' in half a month... our Dragon Country Special Forces will surely bring the championship and glory to the motherland!”

“As for equipment... I've planned it all! These 3 Portable Laser Scythes will definitely be standard issue... If we run into an encounter with another country, we can absolutely annihilate them with a single spin! As for the Rice-transplanting Agricultural Mechas... and the Laser Diffusion Drones... we'll just have to shamelessly ask the other military regions to borrow them!”

“Anyway, Dragon Country is a recognized major agricultural nation... When it comes to combat simulations... borrowing some scythes, hoes, and Agricultural Mechas from farmers... isn't that very reasonable?”

The Special Forces General imagined the scene of Dragon Country Special Forces chasing down American soldiers and beating them senseless...

The scene was truly beautiful!

His joy was written all over his face.

“Prepare the fastest special plane and flight path immediately! We're going to visit Lin Xian right now!”

“I want to go in person... to the Fuqiang Agricultural Machinery Factory to pick up our three scythes! And... if Lin Xian is willing... I want to ask him to help us reset the identification program of the [Friend-or-Foe Identification System]... to make it more effective on the battlefield!”

“Remember... we must go with our utmost sincerity and the highest protocol! For a national-level talent like this... we must show sufficient respect and sincerity!”

...

On the stage of the United Nations assembly.

General Mike watched all of this through gritted teeth... but was completely powerless!

The UN Council President had just spoken, characterizing the Portable Laser Scythe as a harmless agricultural tool... so naturally, he had no way to refute it.

After all, he really had no evidence!

From the available data... that 'hundred-meter Lightsaber' indeed had no possibility of harming people... those cunning Dragon Country people.

And...
