Section 158

Even Director Chu Yun, as a weapons expert himself... had to agree with General Mike's point...

It was just too difficult!

Too hard to explain!

He simply couldn't make up any more excuses...

Seeing Director Chu Yun, who had been strolling leisurely just a moment ago, now remaining silent for so long... the mood of the Dragon Country netizens immediately turned tense!

The comment section was filled with worry—

"Ahhhhh! This General Mike from the United States is really annoying! He is just refusing to let go of Lin Xian! Time and again, he claims that what Lin Xian invented is weaponry! This Nuclear-Powered Mechanical Sheepdog... it just uses a single nuclear battery! Does he really need to be this nervous?"

"Ahem, ahem... As a graduate student in nuclear physics... let me say a fair word. Nuclear reactions are actually extremely violent and uncontrollable... You really shouldn't underestimate the destructive power of that small [nuclear battery] if it explodes! After all, the principle of a nuclear battery explosion is not fundamentally different from that of a nuclear weapon... It could easily blow up a city without any issues!"

"Yeah, yeah... If it were just using a nuclear battery for power... there wouldn't be much to say. But! You saw the behavior of this Mechanical Sheepdog just now... Its ground running speed can actually reach Mach 10! You have to realize... at this speed, let alone on the ground, it would have no rivals even in the sky! Not to mention that there is nothing that could intercept it!"

"That's right... The reason General Mike from the United States is scared pale, and why the whole world is so shocked... is entirely because this Mechanical Sheepdog is completely impossible to defend against or stop! If you insist on calling it a [suicide terrorist weapon]... you really can't find any fault with that! It's pathetic... The pressure is back on Director Chu Yun..."

...At the United Nations venue.

General Mike's questioning and pressuring of Director Chu Yun had reached a hysterical level.

He was nearly ready to run up, grab Director Chu Yun by the neck, shake him back and forth, and scream "Speak!" "Speak!"

But this was an international occasion after all...

He still managed to suppress this impulse!

With bulging veins, a flushed face, eyes spitting fire, and a volume so loud it cracked, he roared:

"Director Chu Yun! You must give the people of the world an explanation!"

"Why... are you openly violating international conventions and bans, and manufacturing a [suicide weapon of mass destruction] that makes people all over the world fearful!"

"If you want to defend yourself... then do it in front of these billions of people around the world! Give us a clear and reasoned explanation—"

"[Why would a mere mechanical dog that exists for herding sheep... need to be capable of Mach 10 speeds, and be equipped with a small nuclear reactor as an energy source!? Don't you think that's outrageous!?]"

Chapter 98: The Mechanical Sheepdog has gone berserk! A battlefield meat grinder! One hundred thousand Navy SEALs are no match for one dog!

"If you want to defend yourself... then do it in front of these billions of people around the world! Give us a clear and reasoned explanation—"

"[Why would a mere mechanical dog that exists for herding sheep... need to be capable of Mach 10 speeds, and be equipped with a small nuclear reactor as an energy source!?]"

...General Mike's words were resounding! Sharp and incisive! They hit the nail on the head!

Instantly, the previously noisy venue fell deathly silent...

Everyone understood in their hearts...

The [Nuclear-Powered Mechanical Sheepdog] developed by Lin Xian... fit the characteristics of a [suicide weapon of mass destruction] perfectly!

It was practically impossible to wash clean!

It could be said that...

The only difference between the two... was probably that the former was shaped like a dog.

And because of this...

The Dragon Country netizens were all panicking! The comment section was filled with worry:

"It's over! I didn't expect the United States to seize on another handle against us! Actually, when Lin Xian first said this Mechanical Sheepdog was nuclear-powered... I had a faint feeling that something was wrong! After all... in this modern era, everyone is afraid of nuclear power! Even with the nuclear power plants we often have domestically... look at which city's residents are willing to let one near the urban area? They are all kept far away... built in places even further out than the suburbs! This shows that... things like nuclear reactors and nuclear batteries... still carry risks!"

"That's right... things like nuclear reactors and nuclear batteries... they are different from regular reactors and lithium batteries after all... With a normal battery, if it explodes, it explodes, and at most, there is just a little spark or flame... But! A nuclear battery explosion is different! Especially those nuclear batteries with high uranium concentrations... once they explode, there is no difference from a nuclear weapon explosion! Moreover... this kind of nuclear reaction is inherently unstable and is really prone to exploding! Looking at human history... have there been few nuclear explosion accidents?"

"Although we all believe that, given Lin Xian's level of technology and scientific expertise... this situation definitely won't occur, and the Nuclear-Powered Mechanical Sheepdog created by Lin Xian must be 100% safe! But... we trust Lin Xian! We can't force the whole world to believe this thing won't explode! Not to mention... this mechanical dog can also run at the super-high speed of Mach 10! Sigh... let alone General Mike from the United States! Even I think this is completely just an [intercontinental ballistic missile nuclear warhead] running on the ground!"

"This time... I'm afraid Director Chu Yun really won't be able to explain it clearly! This is really too hard to explain... A mechanical dog that can run on the ground at ten times the speed of sound, and has a nuclear fusion reactor with nearly endless energy hidden inside... Damn it! No one would believe this thing is used for herding sheep! I'm afraid everyone's first impression is the same... [This is definitely a new type of unstoppable self-propelled weapon]"

"It's too hard... Director Chu Yun really has it too hard! At first, I thought it was just the gift-giving segment, and it would definitely be safe. But I didn't expect... even in the gift for herdsmen, which is the least likely to produce weaponry... a piece of weaponry with the most serious, greatest lethality, and most terrifying performance has popped up! This time... can Director Chu Yun successfully refute the rumors for Lin Xian? Can he wash it clean? Come on, Director Chu Yun! Victory is right in front of us! Get through this gift... tonight! There is only one last gift left."

...Everyone was worried for Director Chu Yun!

Worried that he wouldn't be able to make it up this time!

However...

This time, Director Chu Yun felt far less embarrassed than before...

Perhaps because he was already familiar with this strange rhythm tonight, he was actually somewhat used to it now! He was somewhat unfazed! He even... started to understand Lin Xian's line of thinking!

This was also the point that made Director Chu Yun feel the proudest!

Heavens... Lin Xian is a super genius only seen once in a thousand years!

After so much time of making things up and forcibly refuting rumors... he had actually started to understand Lin Xian's design philosophy!

He instantly felt like he had become more sophisticated!

Regarding the two questions General Mike just asked... although they sounded very difficult to answer at first and seemed to have no clues.

But if one really recalled what Lin Xian said during the live stream... one could actually get some clues!

And these precious clues... were the key for Director Chu Yun to continue making things up and continue spouting nonsense with a straight face.

Facing General Mike's questioning, Director Chu Yun smiled and replied:

"Regarding the reason why this Mechanical Sheepdog runs so fast... Mr. Lin Xian already mentioned it when introducing the product features—herdsman families on the vast grasslands often raise large numbers of livestock, like hundreds of cattle and thousands of sheep..."

"With so many cattle and sheep scattered across such a large grassland... if you want to have just one Mechanical Sheepdog manage these thousands of livestock... it has to run fast, doesn't it? The grassland is full of crises... and these cattle and sheep aren't very smart; it's easy for hundreds to get lost if they wander off! To avoid such losses... the running speed of the Mechanical Sheepdog is simply a rigid demand!"

"It can be said that if you want to effectively protect the property safety of the herdsmen... then this Mechanical Sheepdog must be able to run this fast! It must be able to reach from one end of the grassland to the other in a few seconds in case of any emergency! So... this function, which is completely for agricultural purposes and completely for the sake of the herdsmen... what is wrong with it?"

"Is it against the law? Does it violate international conventions and bans? It just runs a little fast... Is it to be defined as weaponry just because it runs fast?"

Director Chu Yun's explanation was reasonable and sensible!

It caused the representatives at the scene to nod in agreement.

It seemed... it really made a lot of sense! Running fast is a sign of a high level of technology... This is a good thing! How can it be called weaponry?

However, General Mike still refused to let go:

"Director Chu Yun! Do not avoid the important points! I said from the beginning... running fast is not the important thing! What is important is... why does a mere Mechanical Sheepdog need a nuclear battery to be powered!? Isn't this contrary to common sense?"

"A nuclear battery... that is a nuclear battery! Even an aircraft carrier in service for decades... cannot use up 30% of a nuclear battery's power! I ask you, does a tiny Mechanical Sheepdog... need to be equipped with such a battery with obviously excessive energy!?"

With General Mike's speech.

The eyes of the whole world gathered on Director Chu Yun again!

[Nuclear battery] is the key to today's debate!

It is the place the United States fears the most!

This question is indeed very sharp.

But...

Director Chu Yun already had that confident and familiar smile on his face!

He had already thought of the answer!

He said slowly:

"Being able to ask this question... Mr. Mike, shows that you don't understand the living conditions of our country's herdsmen one bit!"

"You wouldn't happen to think... that herdsmen in all regions of the world are the same as the farm owners and ranch owners in your country, would you? The ranch owners there are not some peasant class... but genuine capitalists! They often have huge and enclosed grasslands, and have all kinds of equipment and workers to assist in farming... it can be said to be relaxed and comfortable!"

"But... on the grasslands and deserts in the great northwest of our country... the hardship of those herdsmen's lives is far beyond your imagination! In order to let the herds of cattle and sheep eat more grass... they always have to keep moving their homes, wandering all year round... and for the vast majority of the year... [there is no electricity to use]!"

"May I ask... if there is no convenient electricity... how should this Mechanical Sheepdog responsible for taking care of this flock of sheep charge? Lin Xian also said before... it's not that he didn't consider using lithium batteries, it's just that even the most advanced lithium batteries... are not enough for this Mechanical Sheepdog to operate for an hour! So... we can't just manufacture a defective product that [charges for two hours, herds for 5 minutes] for the herdsmen to use, right?"

"Most importantly... even if it is in a place with sufficient electricity and can be charged at any time! There is still no opportunity for this busy Mechanical Sheepdog to go back to charge! The Dragon Country's grasslands are open... there are countless wolf packs and wild beasts laid out on them. The herdsmen's flocks are basically all protected by this Mechanical Sheepdog... Therefore! [If this Mechanical Sheepdog goes back to charge every other day, working for three days and resting for two! Then who is responsible if the wolf pack attacks suddenly!?]"

Director Chu Yun's words were very infectious!

And they were very infectious and convincing!

Everyone understood Lin Xian's good intentions for using the [nuclear battery]!

Yes...

Isn't the essence of why Lin Xian manufactured this Mechanical Sheepdog to watch over the flock, take care of the flock, and protect the flock 24 hours a day?

If it were really like what Director Chu Yun said... pulling it back to charge every other day, and having to charge for two hours to only operate for 5 minutes... then what the hell is the use of it!

Putting a husky mascot would be more useful than this Mechanical Sheepdog!

The wolf pack's attack comes whenever it comes!

And it specifically picks the time when you have power and are at work?
