Section 44

"So... now! Touch your consciences, use your well-fed, well-clothed, and worry-free brains to think carefully—"

"[In those impoverished mountainous areas without roads, where the paths are rugged! Those children whose parents died on the road out of the mountains! Those elderly people who fell off cliffs just to gather a couple more mushrooms to survive... do they really need this Rice-transplanting Agricultural Mecha capable of short-term flight!]"

...

Silence...

A silence as cold as an icehouse.

Director Chu Yun's heartfelt words... had a truly overwhelming impact and infectious power on everyone's [conscience].

In fact, everything he said was not made up...

He had visited the poorest mountain villages in the Great Northwest of the Dragon Kingdom.

The people there... lived almost like primitive humans!

The country wanted to help them...

But there was absolutely no way!

Roads couldn't be built, there were no transport channels for supplies, and on top of that, the people there had been isolated from the world for years and were unwilling to leave the mountains...

Many parents died on the cliffs while gathering mountain mushrooms...

Many elderly people, while trekking dozens of kilometers to sell their goods... never returned...

Those poor children.

Every one of them was gaunt and thin, unable to get enough to eat, without a shred of meat on their arms.

And there are still many, many such regions... in the Dragon Kingdom.

The people here not only need the farming capabilities that the Agricultural Mecha brings them... they even more so need a safe way to travel that doesn't require climbing mountain paths, trekking for ten days, or risking their lives to sell goods—Yes! It is flight.

If they had this flying Agricultural Mecha...

Those parents picking mountain mushrooms wouldn't have to fall to their deaths!

Not only would they not fall to their deaths...

They could use the flight capability of this mecha to cross peaks in a short amount of time and reach villages and towns... to exchange the wild game in their hands for money, and subsequently purchase living supplies!

The road out of the mountains that used to take dozens of days and might even cost one's life...

But now!

With the help of the mecha manufactured by Lin Xian!

They can safely go back and forth in a single day!

This mecha... will become the hope for tomorrow for the entire village and all the children!

...

...

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

After a brief silence—Director Chu Yun's highly infectious speech! Triggered unprecedented, enthusiastic applause from the entire venue.

Everyone stood up.

Everyone was clapping like crazy.

"It's so moving. My eyes are full of tears. Director Chu Yun is absolutely right... We have always been well-fed and well-clothed, with no worries about food or drink... but we have never thought that there are still hundreds of millions of people in this world who starve to death every year. The kind of mountain village life that Director Chu Yun described... I have also heard of it... They really can't walk out of those mountains in their entire lives!"

"The mountains! The mountains you can't walk out of... This point really spoke to my heart! Our country is still very poor to this day... and many people live in such dangerous, roadless, and even isolated mountain villages... I know how bitter their lives are! It is truly just as Director Chu Yun said... for a few mushrooms growing on the mountain wall, they are willing to risk falling to their deaths!"

"My parents died falling from the mountain while looking for food when I was a child... This is my biggest childhood trauma. My country is full of mountains, without a single bit of arable land... so I deeply understand what Director Chu Yun said! If... if when I was a child, there could have been such an Agricultural Mecha in the village that could climb and fly... many people wouldn't have had to die! There would be fewer orphans in this world."

"I support the Dragon Kingdom. This reason is very sufficient. An Agricultural Mecha with flight capabilities... can indeed save many people's lives and livelihoods. Standing on this point... I believe this [Rice-transplanting Agricultural Mecha] should indeed possess short-distance flight capabilities!"

"I also strongly support the Dragon Kingdom! In this world... it turns out there really are people who care about those poor people forgotten by society... Lin Xian, and Fuqiang Agricultural Machinery Factory... they will eventually become a colorful stroke in human history! I think the United States is really too nervous... The Dragon Kingdom is committed to saving more starving populations, while the United States is worried all day about others threatening their hegemony! Their perspective is just too small!"

...

It is often said...

A just cause enjoys abundant support, while an unjust cause finds little.

It is often said, this is the will of the people!

At this moment, the Dragon Kingdom...

Under Director Chu Yun's moving speech and Lin Xian's great vision...

Infected the whole world with sincerity.

The UN Council President picked up the judge's gavel in front of him—and slammed it hard onto the table!

He was a black man... from a poor, small country in Africa.

He knew the taste of hunger better than anyone...

He knew better than anyone... how difficult it was to walk out of those mountains!

"I think... the matter regarding the [Rice-transplanting Agricultural Mecha] no longer needs to be discussed!"

"The reasons stated by the Dragon Kingdom representative are very sufficient and very practical! Therefore... in the spirit of humanitarianism..."

"[We, the United Nations Council, have made a resolution—this Rice-transplanting Agricultural Mecha... is indeed a genuine piece of agricultural machinery]"

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Applause rose again!

In the livestream room, netizens from all over the Dragon Kingdom were cheering and celebrating.

"Hahaha, that's great! As expected, the eyes of the masses are sharp!"

"Eagle Sauce, rest assured! We will absolutely not modify it recklessly! We will absolutely not let it turn into a Gundam (doge)!"

"That's right, that's right... We promise! We absolutely will not prioritize using Gundams—ah no... we absolutely will not prioritize modifying the Agricultural Mecha! Unless you don't listen!"

"United States, be honest and don't make trouble... Isn't it nice for everyone to happily farm and transplant rice together (doge)."

...

In Lin Xian's livestream room,

Countless netizens were urging Lin Xian to hurry up and list this [Rice-transplanting Agricultural Mecha] for sale!

Everyone was curious...

Just how much this thing would cost!?

And which big shot would make a move to buy it!?

It was really too exciting!

However...

Lin Xian, while controlling the mecha to walk towards the farmland, smiled and said:

"Because the [second product] to be promoted tonight also needs to be demonstrated in the outdoor farmland..."

"So let's put the listing on hold for now, and let's promote the next product first!"

Pfft————

Just having sat down!

Director Chu Yun, who had just taken a sip of tea, was overcome with frustration and couldn't help but spit the tea out!

"Director Chu! Director Chu, what's wrong!? Are you okay!"

The secretary quickly ran over...

Director Chu Yun coughed twice.

He believed...

He must look very disheveled right now, right? His expression must be very ugly, right!

He felt aggrieved.

He felt helpless.

He never expected...

But when he just heard Lin Xian say "Let's promote the second product first~"...
