Meanwhile, after secretly laughing that his son had finally learned to think about women, Lin Feng's father, Lin Guohua, seemed to remember something. He then said with a serious expression:
"The Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle invention will air tomorrow night. It should cause a nationwide sensation. I wonder whether anyone will come to discuss cooperation with us then."
The new factory was already being rushed through construction, but it would still take another two or three months to finish.
The new factory would mainly produce the Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle's core component: the coin coil module.
If the Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle failed to sell well in the future, or if they failed to obtain a Military Production license, Xingtu Technology risked losing everything.
"Don't worry, Dad. Have faith in your son's invention. Besides, don't we have the even stronger Second-generation Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle?"
Lin Feng was extremely confident about the Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle's future.
Over the past few days, aside from researching promotional algorithms, he had openly brought out the Second-generation Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle today and applied for a whole batch of new technical patents.
After all, nearly three weeks had passed since the last Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle test—well over half a month.
Bringing it out now might make people wonder how he had improved it into a second generation so quickly, but the more than half-month gap was still enough of a buffer.
In theory, he really could have developed the Second-generation Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle within half a month. Since Lin Feng could barely explain it away, he naturally saw no need to hide it.
Lin Feng planned to directly manufacture and sell the Second-generation Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle. The first-generation Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle would only be displayed at the company and in history museums; it would not be officially sold.
After all, compared with the first generation, the Second-generation Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle had been improved and optimized in nearly every aspect.
Whether in performance or practicality, it had improved by countless orders of magnitude for users. Naturally, there was no reason to manufacture and sell the outdated first-generation Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle.
"That's true. The Second-generation Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle is so powerful. With it, there shouldn't be any problem."
Lin Guohua nodded lightly. He was extremely confident in the Second-generation Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle Lin Feng had mentioned.
Compared with the first generation, the Second-generation Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle had an effective attack range of seventeen meters, accomplishing what Professor Wang Shan had believed to be impossible.
Furthermore, the Second-generation Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle used a modular design. Not only could parts from different electromagnetic rifles be exchanged with one another, but its batteries could also be replaced quickly.
The first-generation Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle might still have been considered a toy by some people.
But no one would consider the highly mature Second-generation Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle a toy. It was an extremely practical electromagnetic rifle.
"Then let's celebrate our coming victory in advance."
Mom raised her disposable cup of apple cider vinegar as she spoke, and Lin Feng and the others also raised their disposable cups in response.
Time passed swiftly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the next evening.
On this day, the Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle invention episode, which had been advertised well in advance, officially aired. People across the country who had long been prepared began watching I Love Invention.
Because it had already been heavily promoted online, I Love Invention had twenty percent more viewers than usual.
Clearly, the extra twenty percent of viewers were internet users, or television viewers who had learned of the news beforehand.
But regardless of the number of viewers, it did not affect the program's broadcast.
The content of I Love Invention was actually not too different from the previous documentary, but many people who had watched the documentary could still clearly sense the differences between them.
I Love Invention focused more on showcasing the results after the invention succeeded, while the Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle documentary focused more on the story of its development, recounting the difficulties they had encountered and so on.
Because their focuses differed, the order and emphasis of the story naturally differed as well. Though both ended in successful development, those who had watched the documentary still found it engrossing.
Just like that, more than fifty minutes passed, and the tens of millions of viewers finished watching I Love Invention.
Some immediately switched channels to watch other programs, without the slightest sense of reluctance.
Others opened their computers or phones and went to Bilibili, wanting to watch other invention videos there.
After all, the host had specifically introduced Lin Feng as a Bilibili content creator and explained that Lin Feng had uploaded many inventions to Bilibili.
Having witnessed how powerful the Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle was, how could those who had watched it not become curious about Lin Feng's other inventions?
But before they could watch Lin Feng's other invention videos, they were surprised to discover that Lin Feng was livestreaming when they opened the Bilibili website or mobile app.
Seeing this, the television viewers who had come because of I Love Invention naturally clicked into the livestream, wanting to see what Lin Feng was saying and doing.
"Hello, everyone. Welcome to 'Lin Feng's Scientific Research Laboratory.'"
Lin Feng greeted the livestream room as its audience rapidly climbed to six hundred thousand and continued growing by twenty or thirty thousand every second.
At this rate, it would probably surpass one million viewers in less than a minute. He just did not know how many it would eventually reach.
"Lin Feng, we meet again."
"The Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle is amazing. Even the professors at the University of Armament Engineering said there wasn't much room left for improvement."
"Lin Feng, you looked so cool when you bravely fought that wild boar!"
"Where's the beauty? Is she here this time?"
"Lin Feng, what's your relationship with that beauty?"
"Lin Feng, you're freaking awesome. You actually forced the Ministry of Education to make changes with a single invention!"
"It's a pity that although Lin Feng is awesome, the Handwriting Robot's sales really were forced to decline.
"After all, the vast majority of students and teachers bought Handwriting Robots to copy homework and handwrite lesson plans."
"I heard about that too. The Handwriting Robot's customers were students, teachers, and grassroots workers in the system.
"Now that the two major consumer groups of students and teachers are gone, I wonder how much Xingtu Technology has lost. I wonder what Lin Feng thinks about it?"
At that moment, the livestream room was flooded with dense discussions. Hundreds of thousands of netizens all had questions they wanted to ask.
But because they were asking at the same time, Lin Feng could only actually see a few more noticeable comments.
After waiting for more than ten seconds, the barrage of questions finally thinned out enough that it no longer affected the livestream. Lin Feng smiled and said:
"Too many people are asking questions, so I'll just pick one at random to answer first."
Hearing Lin Feng's words, the netizens in the livestream room nodded lightly and watched him with curiosity.
