Section 193

"In just a few minutes... this Artificial Rainfall Bomb will reach the island where Grandpa is and explode overhead."

As the noise from the launch faded, Lin Xian looked at the camera and said with a smile:

"I've just loaded a large amount of cultivated Mutated Coral into the Artificial Rainfall Bomb, replacing the original rainfall materials. Since I don't have seawater here... I couldn't cultivate too much, and these corals couldn't grow very large; they're mostly in a dormant state."

"But it doesn't matter... once these Mutated Corals reach the seawater... they will reproduce, grow, and die at high speeds, like fish in water! Their reproduction and growth rates are incredibly fast... so even if only a single tiny coral fragment lands in the sea, it's fine... it will soon multiply into thousands and tens of thousands of itself."

"I see some viewers in the bullet chat are worried about Grandpa's safety... afraid he might be eaten by the frantically reproducing coral... haha, that definitely won't happen! Individual corals are very small and can only eat plankton, seaweed, and fish eggs for food."

"Moreover... coral cannot survive on land. So even if this Artificial Rainfall Bomb explodes in the sky above Grandpa's head... the falling coral landing around Grandpa won't have any impact. In an environment without seawater... these Mutated Corals are very fragile and will die within seconds."

"So... next, let's invite this Grandpa to start a [Video Connection], and let everyone witness this magical process of the [Island Growing Rapidly] from his perspective!"

...

With that said.

Lin Xian clicked the application for a [Video Connection], and the Grandpa on the other side quickly clicked accept.

Immediately, Lin Xian's livestream screen shrank... occupying only the left half of the screen. On the right, a video feed of the Island Keeper Grandpa suddenly appeared! It was just like the layout when streamers have a PK, except this was just a video call.

Once Grandpa connected the video, everyone finally saw the true face of this great Island Defender...

Grandpa was thin and withered all over, yet he looked very spirited.

Due to constant exposure to the sun on the island... Grandpa's skin was very dark, but his teeth were excellent! Against his dark skin... that set of strong white teeth was particularly striking!

Perhaps it was because he was far away from urban pollution and technological gimmicks...

Grandpa, who had always farmed his own food, was still very healthy and upright despite being over 80 years old! He didn't look at all like the frail, aged elderly people in the city!

"Hehehe... friends in the livestream, hello everyone..."

Grandpa greeted everyone with a simple, honest smile.

Then he turned his phone around to show everyone the situation on the island.

You wouldn't know until you saw it...

And this look!

It was truly heartbreaking.

In the first video on Grandpa's account homepage, this island was still about the size of two football fields.

But now,

it had been washed away by the sea until only the size of one football field remained!

A football field usually seems large...

But if you were personally confined to that single football field, unable to leave, and had to eat, sleep, and live your entire life within it... then you would understand how small this area actually is.

Everyone couldn't help but gasp...

If this Grandpa hadn't been lucky enough to connect with Lin Xian...

Then wouldn't!

Before long,

the entire island have been submerged by the sea!?

At that moment, many people felt like they had sand in their eyes, wiping away tears while posting bullet comments in emotional reflection:

"Wuwuwu... this Grandpa is truly too pitiful! At the same time, he is so great and respectable! It's hard to imagine... he has lived on such a tiny island for so many years, guarding this territorial sea for the motherland for so many years! At his age... he could have long since returned to the mainland to enjoy a happy retirement! Yet he still stays here... even saying the bold words that even if the island sinks, he will stand on it and keep his head above the sea!"

"This kind of spirit... is rarely seen in young people nowadays! This is a spirit of self-sacrifice that could only be nurtured in that special era! Although... we no longer have to do the same things as Grandpa... Grandpa's spirit is something we should all learn from! Just as Grandpa said... every inch of the motherland's territory is sacred and inviolable! It must be guarded with one's life! Even if we live in the online world... we must protect everything belonging to our motherland!"

"My nose is stinging... I can't stop my tears... This island must have once held very beautiful memories for Grandpa! There were family members, fertile fields, scenery, and a happy life... but now! This place is about to be submerged by the sea level! It has become a deserted island! His family has also passed away... leaving only him alone on the entire island! This kind of loneliness... none of us can truly understand!"

"So... the silver lining is that this Island Keeper Grandpa met Lin Xian! He met this once-in-a-millennium genius, a great modern hero! So everyone, don't cry... I think! If everything in Lin Xian's plan goes smoothly... once the Mutated Coral is delivered, the area of this island will definitely expand several times over! By then... not only can Grandpa happily continue farming and building houses here... we can also visit Grandpa on the island more often!"

...

"Exactly, exactly! If the island's area expands several times... to the size of several football fields, it could totally be developed into a [Tourist Attraction]! Of course, that depends on Grandpa's wishes! If he prefers a quiet life... we should just frequently bring things to visit this Island Defender hero and not disturb his life too much!"

...

Countless netizens were eagerly awaiting the arrival of that Artificial Rainfall Bomb!

That Artificial Rainfall Bomb...

not only carried Grandpa's wishes...

but also carried the infinite expectations of all the netizens.

Finally,

as Grandpa pointed his phone toward the sky!

Everyone began to cheer.

In that clear, cloudless blue sky!

A beautiful and straight white trail split the sky in half, flying rapidly toward them.

At the very front of the white trail...

many consecutive [Mach disks!] were clearly visible.

Mach disks...

are the bright, dazzling, diamond-shaped shock waves emitted from the tail of rocket engines or supersonic ramjets when operating in the atmosphere!

To be able to release so many Mach disks...

then it went without saying,

that white trail racing across the sky—

was precisely the [Fuqiang No. 1 Artificial Rainfall Bomb] launched by Lin Xian.

At this moment...

countless people's tear ducts burst, their eyes filling with tears.

It was a surge of inexplicable emotion...

It was the soul of unity in the bones of the Longhua Nation!

It was something that only the Descendants of Yan and Huang could resonate with—

[When one place is in trouble, support comes from all directions!]

This is the united Dragon Kingdom!

This is the powerful Dragon Kingdom.

This is the now omnipotent Dragon Kingdom.

This is the Dragon Kingdom that, under the leadership of Lin Xian... has leaped to the top of the world! Looking down on all other mountains.

Boom!

A massive roar came from the sky.

Since the sound could be heard...

it meant that the Artificial Rainfall Bomb had already decelerated! Its speed was now less than the speed of sound!

Its journey... was about to reach its destination.

This journey of toil and hardship...

seemed like a flight of only a few minutes!

But in reality! It spanned the entire eighty years of this Island Keeper Grandpa's life.

Countless netizens cried out loudly:

"Explode, explode! Fulfill Grandpa's dream!"

"Give back the island's lost area to Grandpa! Let him have his wish! Let his dream come true!"

"This is the true meaning of technology, right? This is the reason why science and technology should exist, right!?"

"Lin Xian hasn't just given a lesson to all the people of the Dragon Kingdom... he's given one to the whole world!"

"Explode, Artificial Rainfall Bomb! Scatter the Mutated Coral! Let this miracle of land reclamation bloom in the South Seas!"

A loud bang.

A brilliant white light burst in the sky—

Countless tiny, bright red coral particles fell from the sky!

Clatter, clatter, they fell down.
