So, with Lin Feng hanging up the phone, the matter was settled, much to the excitement of Bilibili's shareholders and employees.

After all, this was equivalent to Bilibili successfully advertising to tens of millions of people.

It was expected that with the broadcast of the "I Love Invention" program, they would see at least two to three million new views.

If Bilibili could retain these new users who came out of curiosity, then Bilibili's total registered user count could potentially exceed five million.

However, despite their joy, the pressure was immense. They had to race against time to create a new version of their website and app based on the interface Lin Feng provided.

Additionally, they needed to expedite the creation of their own live-streaming platform and launch it quickly to absorb the new users gained from the "I Love Invention" program.

In this process, Lin Feng himself would also need to leverage his fame to attract initial popularity to the live-streaming platform and revitalize it.

Lin Feng naturally had no objections to this. After all, compared to before, it was just a matter of developing in private versus developing in public.

The only difference was that he would have to interact with netizens from time to time and answer their questions.

Thus, as the meeting officially adjourned, those who were following the Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle and the "I Love Invention" program were destined to be disappointed.

Because the documentary and promotional video for the Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle, as well as the broadcast time for the "I Love Invention" program, were all postponed.

This postponement stretched for a full two weeks. Combined with the days already wasted, it was nearly three weeks.

During this long period, the heat surrounding the Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle naturally cooled down. Fortunately, however, hype could always be manufactured.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, two weeks had passed.

On this particular morning, Bilibili's domain name, web page, mobile page, and more all underwent a major version update. Everything had changed.

At this time, Lin Feng's documentary and promotional video for the Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle also went live simultaneously. Subsequently, on the greatly transformed Bilibili webpage, the promotional video for the Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle appeared.

Clearly, Bilibili had given it a prominent homepage recommendation.

Furthermore, announcements regarding the release of the Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle's documentary and promotional video quickly appeared in the comment sections of other video platforms and on Sina Weibo.

This series of actions directly sent countless netizens who were still following the Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle into a frenzy.

They then called upon their friends, sharing the good news while also rushing to Bilibili to watch the related videos, eager to learn about the development story of the Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle.

In a room in Jiangsu, Daxia, during the midday lunch break.

"It's finally uploaded. I've been waiting for almost three weeks."

The speaker was a young man in his early twenties, known online as 'Eager Signal'.

That morning, while using his phone in the company restroom to browse AcFun, he saw a netizen named 'Xia_Eternal' excitedly mention in the comments that Lin Feng had uploaded the Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle video to Bilibili.

Upon hearing this news, 'Eager Signal's' face lit up with joy. He really wanted to see what the documentary was like, but since he was at work, he had to suppress his urge.

Now that he had finished lunch and finally had some free time, he was determined to watch the long-awaited documentary and promotional video for the Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle.

After all, he could never forget the shock he felt that day from the Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle, nor the imposing sight of Lin Feng holding it.

Therefore, he was extremely curious about why Lin Feng developed the Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle, what difficulties and challenges he encountered, and what he went through.

He had waited for nearly three weeks, and now the highly anticipated documentary was finally uploaded. This was truly wonderful.

However, he didn't click on the documentary first. Instead, he watched the three-minute, 1080p high-definition promotional video.

This promotional video began with over ten seconds of shooting footage, followed by a rhythmically strong electronic soundtrack accompanying text and voiceovers introducing the structure, parameters, and features of the Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle.

Finally, it showcased the specific field test performance of the Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle.

The most memorable scene was when, as people fled, a thunderous "boom" was heard. When the camera panned back, it revealed the shocking image of Lin Feng holding the Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle and killing a wild boar.

This scene immensely excited the netizens, with the bullet comments filled with exclamations like "Holy cow!" "Awesome!" "Amazing, my bro!" "I want this gun!" and so on.

Seeing this, 'Eager Signal' let out a faint smile before continuing to watch the other documentary about the Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle.

The first scene in this documentary was not of the Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle, nor of Lin Feng, but a screenshot of a Weibo post.

This Weibo screenshot showed Professor He's initial declaration that Lin Feng was a "black-hearted businessman detrimental to the country."

Upon seeing this, 'Eager Signal' was slightly taken aback. He hadn't expected Professor He to be so arbitrary, calling Lin Feng a 'black-hearted businessman detrimental to the country.' Wasn't that a bit of an overstatement?

With a slightly displeased mood, 'Eager Signal' continued watching the video. After a few seconds of the screenshot, the normal documentary footage began.

The narration in this segment introduced that Lin Feng, after completing the second-generation Handwriting Robot, fell into boredom. Thus, out of boredom, he decided to catch up on the news.

Eventually, Lin Feng saw news in Jane's Defence Weekly about Daxia developing railguns.

Upon seeing this, Lin Feng, amidst the knowing smiles of the people, exclaimed, "Long live Daxia!" and then declared that he too would contribute to the nation.

He stated that since Daxia had developed railguns, he would develop electromagnetic rifles to contribute to the country.

Ultimately, with the philosophy of "using force to stop war and pacify conflict," Lin Feng conceived the design idea for the Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle, aiming to develop one to achieve the goal of "using force to stop war and pacify conflict."

The following ten-plus minutes of the video primarily detailed the difficulties Lin Feng encountered during the development process.

It showed what Lin Feng did to solve the problems, how he solved them, and then what new problems arose, repeating this cycle.

Thus, after going through twists and turns, taking a month and a half, and spending nearly a million in R&D funds, the Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle was finally ready for live firing tests.

The subsequent live firing test footage was something the netizens already knew and had watched many times. Finally, the screen switched to a panel discussion featuring experts around 60 years old.

Next to the expert was his name and title: Professor Wang Shan, a small arms design expert, employed at Beijing Institute of Technology, one of the Seven Sons of National Defense.

Tuesday is the day fate is decided. Please recommend, monthly tickets, and continue reading.
