305: Chapter 305 Welcome, Captain Xia!

Hearing this, Yang Tongan nodded slowly.

"Good."

A single word—crisp, decisive, without a hint of hesitation, yet exuding the iron-blooded majesty and weight of a great nation, heavy as a thousand jun.

He understood Lin Yuan's meaning all too well.

When Xia possessed the truth capable of crushing the era, any flashy packaging or deliberate build-up seemed superfluous and cheap.

Although a lion uses its full strength even when hunting a rabbit, Xia was now a giant dragon soaring through the nine heavens.

When a giant dragon crushes an ant beneath its feet, it only needs to exhale carelessly; why would it need to issue a warning to the whole world in advance?

He slowly turned his head, his gaze like a knife, falling directly upon the test officer standing straight to the side.

"The testing process just now..."

"Everything was recorded on video, right?"

Upon hearing this, the officer, whose posture was already upright, instinctively stiffened even further, his breath held subconsciously.

After grasping the meaning behind this question, an irrepressible, extreme fanaticism surged deep in his eyes.

"Report, Sir!"

He responded loudly, his resonant voice echoing around the edge of the vast underground testing ground.

"From the basic version to the perfect grade, all test items have high-definition video records from multiple angles and the entire process!"

"All relevant extreme data has also been backed up and archived with the highest level of encryption, ready for review at any time!"

"Very good."

After hearing the report, Yang Tongan nodded with satisfaction.

He raised his hand, pointed at the data pad tightly gripped in the officer's hand, and issued the final order.

"Now, go do one thing immediately."

"Take the relevant test videos, especially the core data material of that perfect-grade soldier, and organize and extract it as quickly as possible."

Yang Tongan looked at the officer, his tone brooking no argument, carrying an iron-blooded, murderous aura.

"Later, I will have the head of the propaganda department come to coordinate with you personally."

"There is only one requirement—"

"Before you get off work this afternoon, have the finished video sent out simultaneously on all mainstream platforms across the entire web, using the military's highest-level official account!"

"Yes, I guarantee completion of the mission!"

The officer slammed his feet together with a sharp crack and saluted with an incredibly standard military salute.

After receiving the order, he turned abruptly and strode toward the testing ground's data center.

In his slightly hurried, almost trotting pace, there was an extreme excitement of being about to "open fire" on the whole world.

As a witness who had seen this group of non-humans come into being with his own eyes, he was also very expectant.

He simply couldn't wait to see, after this real video—with zero special effects, no script, yet countless times more terrifying than any sci-fi blockbuster—was released...

What kind of spectacular reaction would appear on the faces of the whole world, especially those people on The Other Side of the Ocean!?

Watching the officer's receding figure, Yang Tongan turned around and looked back at Lin Yuan.

Their gazes met, and a silent understanding flowed through the air.

His cold, hard face softened, his tense lips relaxed slightly, and his tone carried a touch of casual familiarity and the warmth of an elder.

"Alright, the serious business is taken care of, and since we're free, we're free."

"Let's go, I'll take you to the south heaven gate base for a tour."

"It just so happens you can answer the doubts that Changhe and the others have during the advancement process on the spot."

Yang Tongan raised his hand and pointed toward the depths of the base, the area guarded by heavy troops, with a hint of teasing amusement in his eyes.

"To be honest, that guy Changhe was still talking about you to me two days ago."

"Although the power module assembly of the Luan Bird Aerospace Carrier is fast, that group of old experts is still a bit unsure about the fine-tuning of several core energy interfaces, fearing any slight oversight."

"Since you're here this time, if you don't go take a look, I'm afraid he'll really grab you by the collar and lose his temper with you next time you meet."

Hearing this, Lin Yuan couldn't help but laugh.

In his mind, he couldn't help but visualize Shen Changhe's stubborn appearance, where he could go days and nights without closing his eyes for the sake of scientific research.

"Alright, then let's go see Chief Engineer Shen, and by the way, see how the skeleton of our 'Ship That Stabilizes the Nation' is coming along."

Lin Yuan nodded with a smile, his tone light.

The two smiled at each other and walked side by side toward the assembly workshop deep in the base.

On the road walking side by side, Lin Yuan's pace was casual, but deep in his consciousness, that pale blue system panel that only he could see was floating quietly.

Watching the constantly rising progress bar, the corners of Lin Yuan's lips curled into a faint, imperceptible smile.

He was looking forward to it.

After that video is sent out this afternoon, billions of people around the world, especially those netizens on The Other Side of the Ocean who claim to be the orthodoxy of science fiction and revere Marvel and DC as the gold standard...

After experiencing the total collapse of their faith and the ultimate visual shock, their self-esteem, which had been rubbed into the ground, would eventually turn into the purest terror and awe.

And that massive amount of "confidence" forced out of them—just how fast would it make this progress bar skyrocket?

What kind of earth-shattering technological miracle would this new "lie" unlock for him?

The stage was already set.

Everything was just waiting for the east wind.

...

Time slipped away quietly, unnoticed by countless people.

That afternoon, approaching six o'clock.

The Xia internet remained as usual, perhaps even exuding a boring "peaceful years."

On the crowded commuter subway, a worker wearing headphones was scrolling through short videos listlessly, the corners of their mouth curling up slightly at a funny joke.

At their desks in office buildings, those slacking off were frequently switching screens, glancing from time to time at the time in the bottom right corner of the computer, anxiously waiting for the second to arrive to clock out.

And in major forums, netizens were still building threads and arguing about when those two major miracle drugs could start Phase II clinical trials, or even officially hit the market.

Everything seemed so calm, so undisturbed.

However, at this very ordinary, most easily overlooked moment.

Behind the scenes of the Xia military's highest-level official media account.

Several operators stared intently at the green progress bar of the file upload on the screen, not daring to breathe.

The team leader stood in front of the console, palms slightly sweating, his fingertip hovering over the left mouse button, trembling slightly from extreme excitement.

"It's finally done."

When they saw the progress bar was full, the supervisor gave a low shout and immediately pressed the red "Synchronize Send" button.

"Click!"

The crisp sound of the mouse click seemed exceptionally deafening in the quiet backstage.

A brand new video update instantly turned into an invisible torrent of data, forcibly pushed to the most conspicuous position on all mainstream platforms across the entire web!

The update had no flashy cover, nor any long-winded copy.

Its title consisted of only a few large characters—《Welcome, Captain Xia!》
