Section 159

So, looking at it this way... this nuclear battery that never needs charging and has an endless supply of power... is an absolute necessity for this Mechanical Sheepdog!

Consequently... the public opinion instantly reversed! The representatives present immediately wore looks of sudden realization:

"So that's how it is! So... that's the reason Lin Xian did it! That's why he used a nuclear battery for this Mechanical Sheepdog! It seems... we really misunderstood Lin Xian just now, and misinterpreted his good intentions... Come to think of it, this is all America's fault! Why are they stirring up trouble for no reason? They made us so scared just now, afraid that this mechanical dog was really a suicide weapon of mass destruction like they claimed..."

"Ahem, ahem... It is truly embarrassing to say, but the various events that occurred tonight have indeed made us a bit sensitive, a bit neurotic, and even overly suspicious, causing us to become jumpy... Actually, thinking about it calmly... how could a country like Dragon Country, which loves peace so much... possibly manufacture weapons of mass destruction? Looking at it now... it's simply General Mike and the Americans crying 'thief' while being the thieves themselves!"

"Exactly, exactly! Whether it's the peace-loving Dragon Country... or Lin Xian, who cares about the world and serves the country and the people... their starting point has always been to consider the people and serve the people! Just as they have emphasized many times—all products manufactured by the Fuqiang Agricultural Machinery Factory are designed for agricultural purposes, and the purpose is to let farmers live a better life! Therefore... how could Lin Xian possibly be manufacturing munitions!?"

"That's what I've been saying! You just need to blindly support Lin Xian! Haven't you seen clearly what the world is like now? America claims to be the beacon for the world's people... but in reality, they do all sorts of shady things! And only Dragon Country... is truly a trustworthy good big brother that keeps its word, does what it says, and is always warm-hearted! Now that things have come to this... which side you should stand on... I think it goes without saying, right?"

"I have never doubted that Lin Xian wanted to manufacture munitions! Even if... ahem, even if the products Lin Xian invents every time do indeed have the suspicion of being munitions! But I think... Lin Xian himself definitely doesn't have that intent, and all these similarities... are just coincidences! What I'm more worried about now is—[Can such a sheepdog made of mechanical parts... really defeat the massive wolf packs on the grasslands?]"

Clearly, as far as America's "munitions threat theory" is concerned... the momentum is gone! It's beyond saving!

General Mike still wanted to stubbornly argue a few points...

but was domineeringly interrupted by Director Chu Yun:

"Mr. Mike, let me summarize what I just said—this Nuclear-Powered Mechanical Sheepdog is entirely designed to protect the herdsmen's flocks! It belongs to a defensive measure!"

"If... those wolf packs are sensible enough not to provoke these herdsmen's flocks... then this Mechanical Sheepdog naturally won't attack those wolf packs. After all... the primary task of this Mechanical Sheepdog is to protect the flocks, not to attack other species!"

"But... hehe..."

Saying this, Director Chu Yun revealed a meaningful smile and stared at General Mike with deep implication:

"[If... there really are outsiders... who want to touch the herdsmen's flocks...]"

"[Then don't blame this Mechanical Sheepdog for being impolite!]"

"[Don't forget our ancient motto from Dragon Country—We will not attack unless we are attacked! If someone attacks us... no matter how far away they are, they must be punished!]"

Swish—Director Chu Yun's domineering statement! It directly made General Mike feel a chill! A threat! This is a naked threat.

Anyone could tell... that Director Chu Yun was using the metaphor of the wolf packs and the flocks... to tell him that the Dragon Country nation and the people of Dragon Country are not to be trifled with.

At this point... General Mike, who had just wanted to forcefully argue a few more points... could only honestly shut his mouth!

He turned his head and stared at the Mechanical Sheepdog on the big screen that was still acting coquettishly at Lin Xian's feet...

Is it really... just a mechanical dog used for herding sheep?

Just then, Lin Xian had also finished answering the questions raised by netizens in the barrage, and then said with a smile:

"Some netizens don't quite believe... that this Mechanical Sheepdog can take on an entire wolf pack alone."

"Then next, let us enter the actual demonstration segment!"

"Let everyone see for themselves... the true combat capability of this [Nuclear-Powered Mechanical Sheepdog]."

Chapter 99: You say this mechanical dog is for herding sheep? This is for [Dragon-Slaying], right!

Finally, the actual combat strength of this Mechanical Sheepdog is about to be displayed. The netizens have long been looking forward to it!

After all... things like managing the flock, taking care of the flock, and running fast are all secondary. The main purpose of Lin Xian developing this Mechanical Sheepdog... [is still to protect the flock under the attack of wolf packs!]

This is also the biggest wish mentioned in the private message Little Xiang sent to Lin Xian!

Consequently... for a time, there was a lot of discussion in the online live broadcast room:

"Hahahaha... finally reached the [actual combat demonstration] segment I've been looking forward to the most! Ah no... pfft, pfft, pfft! It's the physical demonstration segment! Ahem... Director Chu Yun is already having a hard enough time making up excuses at the United Nations venue... we really shouldn't add to his troubles anymore! However... I think what happens next won't require Director Chu Yun to step in, after all... this Mechanical Sheepdog only has the final demonstration segment left."

"Yes... but actually I'm not saying I doubt Lin Xian, I'm just a little puzzled... Can this mere Mechanical Sheepdog really defeat a wolf pack that often moves in groups of dozens? You have to know... the combat strength of these wolf packs is very strong! On the great grasslands of Africa... wolf packs can even hunt large animals! Such a small mechanical dog... won't it be torn to shreds by the wolf pack the moment they meet?"

"I originally thought Lin Xian would install some weapons, ammunition, or something on this Mechanical Sheepdog... to resist the wolf pack's attack. But... the Fuqiang Agricultural Machinery Factory is, after all, just a place that produces agricultural machinery, and at the same time... if munitions were installed on it... wouldn't that play right into America's hands? It would be equivalent to directly admitting the fact that Lin Xian is illegally manufacturing munitions! Therefore... we can conclude—this Mechanical Sheepdog definitely does not have any modern weapons!"

"Hiss... now that you mention it, this Mechanical Sheepdog isn't equipped with weapons, and its body is so small... can it really withstand the wolf pack's attack? Anyway, I completely can't imagine how it's going to fight the wolf packs... but! Still, the same thing! We just need to trust Lin Xian! He is always a man who can bring miracles and can bring us surprises!"

"You guys... you really don't learn your lesson! This live broadcast is almost over... there's only one last gift [for the fishermen] left... but I never expected! There are still people among you who doubt Lin Xian's ability and what he said! Are you guys really goldfish? Is your memory really only seven seconds long? Rest assured... since Lin Xian said this gift can help Little Xiang solve the problem... then there is definitely no suspense!"

At this moment... the eyes of the whole world were focused on Lin Xian, and the [Nuclear-Powered Mechanical Sheepdog] that was acting coquettishly by his side!

Lin Xian brought this Mechanical Sheepdog directly to the back hill, then took out a solid steel pipe as thick as a forearm that had been prepared in advance, and inserted it into the mud:

"Actually, this Mechanical Sheepdog is almost not equipped with any high-tech weapons... this is also out of cost considerations. After all, the nuclear battery alone takes up a huge portion of the budget funds... our country's herdsmen are not a very wealthy group. So, in order to let every herdsman be able to afford this Mechanical Sheepdog in the future... I compressed the costs on weapons and equipment."

"However! Although it doesn't carry any long-range combat weapons and equipment... the combat strength of this Mechanical Sheepdog is still not to be underestimated! Supported by the powerful driving force of the nuclear battery... the Mechanical Sheepdog's strength and torque are very large! It can be said... that it is a typical case of 'great strength creates miracles'."

"So first... let's take a look at its main combat method—actually, just like a normal sheepdog, it relies on the alloy claws on its paws, as well as the alloy teeth in its mouth. This alloy material was also independently developed by the Fuqiang Agricultural Machinery Factory... its hardness and toughness are far superior to all current materials!"

"Alright, there's no point in talking more, hearing a hundred times is not as good as seeing it once! Let me give everyone a demonstration."

As he spoke, Lin Xian directly gave the Mechanical Sheepdog a verbal command.

The Mechanical Sheepdog was very smart... "Woof!" It immediately understood Lin Xian's meaning—to destroy that forearm-thick solid steel pipe.

This solid steel pipe inserted into the mud in front of them... was as thick as an adult's arm!

A steel pipe this thick... let alone breaking it, even just trying to bend it! At the very least, you would need a high-strength hydraulic press! It's very possible that even if a tank came, it wouldn't be able to bend it!

And as for cutting it off... that is even more of a pipe dream, unless you go to a large factory and use specialized large equipment.

However... contrary to everyone's expectations! Just when everyone thought that this Mechanical Sheepdog absolutely could not destroy this solid steel pipe, and couldn't even leave a mark on the solid steel pipe—

"Woof!" Crack, crack, crack! Crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack!

The Mechanical Sheepdog suddenly opened its mouth wide! It bit down on the solid steel pipe! The enormous bite force directly caused the solid steel pipe to dent! Emitting the sound of deformation—crack, crack, crack!

In an instant! The netizens who saw this scene were directly scared pale!

Oh my god... a solid steel pipe like this that even a tank couldn't bend... a solid steel pipe like this that only a super hydraulic press could barely bend... was actually about to be bitten in two by this Mechanical Sheepdog!

Bang! With a loud noise! That solid steel pipe as thick as an adult's arm... was directly snapped into two pieces in the Mechanical Sheepdog's mouth! At the point of fracture! It even rubbed against the alloy teeth, creating huge sparks!

And when the Mechanical Sheepdog let go... everyone couldn't help but gasp!

Looking at the fracture point... it was as if it had been forcefully torn apart! Terrifying and violent! This was damage without any technique... it was pure 'great strength creates miracles'!

The fracture point of the steel pipe... still had two neat tooth marks, deeply carved into the steel!

... ... ...

Everyone was stunned!

Is this really a mechanical dog?
