207: Chapter 207 Within the territory of Nantianmen, even gods and demons flee!

When they first saw the extremely hardcore words "Cold Controllable Nuclear Fusion Core," many netizens were actually dazed.

Not until their gaze slid down and saw a popular explanation added at the end of the long post by that Big V, specifically in bold red letters.

"Have you seen Iron Man?"

"That glowing circle on his chest is the Cold Controllable Nuclear Fusion Core!"

This sentence completely opened the doors of their perception.

Easy to understand, simple, and direct.

In the comment sections of social platforms, the tone took a 180-degree turn within just a few seconds, with comments and messages frantically increasing at a terrifying speed of thousands per second.

"Holy crap!!! Iron Man?! You're telling me this is Iron Man's reactor?!"

"Damn, no wonder that blue light on the mecha's chest looked so familiar. Isn't this the freaking Arc Reactor?! Our country just went and replicated it?!"

"The State: The movies are too slow, and you have to pay for tickets. I'll just build a real one for you!"

"The movie directors The Other Side of the Ocean, stand at attention! Yours are sci-fi movies; ours is a freaking realistic documentary!"

Extreme fanaticism completely ignited the entire internet.

Following the "Iron Man" line of thought, the netizens' imagination began to run wild like a runaway horse.

Since the Cold Controllable Nuclear Fusion Core, serving as the core energy source, has already been created in reality, could Iron Man's armor also be manufactured?

Taking another ten thousand steps back, will there be a manned version of that obviously unmanned Chengying Mecha in the video later?

In the future, could ordinary people really pilot heavy mechas, soar through the skies, and guard the nation's gates like in sci-fi novels?!

This mecha craze quickly evolved from online talk into a super storm sweeping through the hot-blooded youth across the country.

Inside a male dormitory at Wudaokou Occupational and Technical College.

There was a muffled "thud."

A boy wearing black-rimmed glasses slammed the yellowed copy of Higher Mathematics in his hand onto the desk in front of him.

The postgraduate entrance exam materials, which he usually treated as treasures, no longer seemed appealing at all in his eyes.

His eyes glowing with green light, he stared intently at the Chengying Mecha taking off on the phone screen. He suddenly stood up, tore open his collar, and let out a wolf-like howl:

"I'm not taking it anymore! To hell with the postgraduate exam, I'm going to join the army!"

The roommate beside him didn't try to persuade him; instead, his face was equally flushed with excitement:

"Count me in!"

"Damn, I used to think being a tank driver or a fighter pilot was cool enough. Now, compared to this thing, it suddenly feels meaningless!"

"I only have one ultimate dream—to pilot a Gundam!"

"I want to become a heavy mecha pilot for Great Xia, piloting mechas to protect my home and country!"

That night, official recruitment websites across the country welcomed the most terrifying peak in traffic in history.

As the mecha's popularity continued to soar, the focus of public opinion also began to shift quietly.

Some military fan experts who were extremely sensitive to the strategic level moved their gaze from the Chengying Mecha itself to the video title and that grand south heaven gate project name.

An account named "The Chief's Strategic Analysis Room" posted a long graphic analysis, which was instantly pushed to the second spot on the trending list across the internet.

"Everyone, don't just focus on being excited about the mecha. Look carefully at the description in the official video title—Chengying Guards the Heaven Gate!"

"Highlight the key point, 'Guards the Heaven Gate'!"

"In our Great Xia's mythology, what kind of place is the south heaven gate? That is the gateway to the Heavenly Court, the first line of defense!"

"In other words, in the official positioning, the Chengying Mecha is merely a 'gatekeeper'!?"

As soon as this post came out, countless netizens felt their scalps go numb, a sense of shock from thinking deeply about it rushing straight to the top of their heads.

"Holy crap! I wouldn't have noticed if the blogger hadn't mentioned it! A heavy mecha that can carry a particle cannon, shatter permanent fortifications in one shot, and has flexible mobility... you call this a gatekeeper?!"

"If Chengying is just a gatekeeper, what level of monsters must the main equipment in the south heaven gate project be?!"

"I really don't dare to imagine! Is it an Aerospace Carrier, an interstellar warship, or a Star Destroyer?!"

Countless netizens followed the clues, frantically sketching that grand and surreal strategic blueprint in their minds.

The more they thought, the more their blood boiled.

At this moment, a strong and highly unified consensus formed across the entire internet.

The south heaven gate project is definitely not as simple as just a few mechas.

It is Great Xia's complete strategic system aimed at the sea of stars!

"As expected of the project God Lin specifically named after the south heaven gate!"

"Within the south heaven gate, gods and ghosts yield!"

This slogan quickly dominated the top of the trending lists on major social platforms and was even set as personal signatures and phone wallpapers by countless people.

The national pride of 1.4 billion people was pushed to its historical peak that night.

Today, Great Xia finally showed its steel fangs, capable of crushing the old hegemony, in front of the whole world.

...

The scene quietly cut back to the Xishan Base.

Inside the independent dormitory, Lin Yuan finished washing up, changed into loose loungewear, and sank comfortably into the soft sofa.

He picked up a glass of warm water, took a small sip, and with a thought, the virtual panel unfolded silently deep in his consciousness.

On the light blue screen, the progress bar for the confidence of the grand lie known as the south heaven gate project was soaring at a staggering speed.

[33.3%...35.4%...38.8%...]

The numbers jumped extremely fast, creating a blur of afterimages.

Lin Yuan looked at the numbers surging ahead and a smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.

This feeling of control, playing with the perception of all humanity in the palm of his hand and creating a myth single-handedly, was far more addictive than simple physical suppression.

"Go ahead and fill in the blanks, imagine to your heart's content."

"As long as you dare to believe it, I can make it real."

Lin Yuan murmured softly, his slender fingers gently stroking the edge of the water cup.

Then, he looked out the window.

This fire had already burned to its brightest within Great Xia.

The will of the entire people had turned into the solid fuel driving the system's progress bar.

Now, it's the turn for the outside.

Calculating the time difference, it should be almost dawn The Other Side of the Ocean.

A deep, mischievous glint flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes.

He was looking forward to seeing the expressions on the faces of those people The Other Side of the Ocean when this video hit them.

What kind of wonderful expressions would they have?
