——【Brothers, I'm broken! I thought I had no more envy left for Fang Yang, but today I'm truly salty. Look at him—when he gets into trouble, so many people show up, each one more badass than the last. The Mayor makes him soup, and the Atomic Energy Bureau invites him, but he doesn't even go!】

——【Facts prove that every trade has its master; even driving an excavator can lead you to the peak of life. This reminds me of the crematorium worker who easily made 300,000 a year carrying bodies. I did that for a year; it wasn't that tiring, but the side effects were a bit much. Now, whenever I see someone sleeping, I just want to carry them off to be burned!】

——【People are so exaggerated now. A bunch of young guys around here are learning to drive excavators, not for work, but just to look cool and show off! Driving an excavator has become a secret weapon for picking up girls! As long as you tell a girl you can drive one, your success rate goes up by several notches!】

——【That's nothing. The weeds in the wild pond at the entrance of our village were recently dug out completely! Know why? Those anglers found that fishing with a rod wasn't exciting enough, so they all drove excavators into the pond to scoop up weeds. Good lord! Yesterday, someone even scooped up a black fish weighing over ten pounds!】

Captain Wang drove Fang Yang at full speed all the way to the Anti-Drug Brigade.

By this time, the sun in the sky was about to set.

Fang Yang had thought Captain Wang said that just to help him out of a tight spot, but it turned out they really had confirmed he would come over to film a promotional video.

Although it was his first time filming, he felt a bit nervous and also a little excited.

But filming something so positive made him feel very much at ease.

When the Bureau Chief saw Fang Yang arrive, he came out to greet him personally: "Oh my, Fang Yang, when I heard this morning that you were willing to be an anti-drug ambassador, I thought I'd misheard. The Provincial Bureau was just worrying about who to find for the shoot, and when I submitted your name, they agreed immediately without a second thought. The production team arrived at noon and is waiting for you now!"

Fang Yang smiled politely: "It's my duty. Where are we filming?"

"Right here!"

"Ah?" Fang Yang was stunned: "How do we film here?"

"Wait a moment, I've specially prepared a new police uniform for you. Just put it on and sit in my chair to film. I've already prepared the script for you; it's not many words, just about a minute long! After that, we'll just take a few promotional posters and we're done!"

"No! Bureau Chief, is this appropriate? I'm not a public servant. If you let me wear this and sit in your chair, won't that look bad?"

The Bureau Chief waved his hand: "It's fine, it's fine. You're our honorary ambassador without conditions; who would dare gossip about you? Besides, you're the image ambassador, it's fine!"

"That's right, Fang Yang, don't overthink it. Filming a promo video—you should know, this is doing a good deed!"

Fang Yang nodded: "Alright, I understand!"

That night, a short video caused a sensation across the entire internet.

The Provincial Anti-Drug Bureau's official account posted Fang Yang's anti-drug promo video overnight.

For the first half hour, there wasn't a single view.

However, once the first person saw this video, their eyes went wide.

They carefully checked to see if the official account was fake.

After clicking on it, they discovered that it was actually real!

That meant Fang Yang's promo video was real too!

In that instant, their mind went blank.

Because they worked in self-media.

They knew very well how much traffic this video would bring.

They immediately reposted the video and the related promotional posters.

They had accounts on Douyin, Bilibili, Kuaishou, and others.

Once the video was released, it was quickly approved by the censors and given massive traffic immediately.

When netizens opened their short video apps, this video was pushed to them instantly.

In just a few minutes, the netizens exploded!

——【Holy crap! Fang Yang is the anti-drug ambassador? Damn, he looks so handsome in a police uniform, it makes me want to apply to the police academy!】

——【My titanium alloy eyes have been blinded. This is the most memorable anti-drug campaign I've ever seen, bar none! They should find people like this to promote it—young, full of vigor, and while fame is one thing, the main thing is having good character and being upright. Stop finding those so-called celebrities to film these!】

——【I can predict that this video is going to go viral, and I mean explosive viral. I strongly suggest that all anti-drug ambassadors nationwide be changed to Fang Yang!】

——【Refuse drugs, start with me. I will absolutely not touch drugs, not just for my own health and my family, but more importantly, out of respect for those anti-drug police who died on the front lines!】

In less than an hour, the head of the China Anti-Drug Corps announced overnight that Fang Yang's anti-drug promo video would be released nationwide.

At the same time, they had his posters made, framed, and posted all over the country.

For a time, everyone on the internet was cheering and liking the Corps' announcement.

Another video about the natural nuclear reactor naturally hit the trending list as well.

However, the people interested in this were mostly netizens who loved military affairs, astronomy, and geography.

A thoughtful netizen posted it to the international version of Douyin, and when netizens abroad saw this video, it exploded!

——【Heaven bless China! A natural nuclear reactor with so much high-concentration Uranium-235 ore? I bet it won't be long before their country's military industry, especially nuclear weapons, sees a qualitative leap!】

——【A reactor from a billion years ago? The Blue Planet has existed for 4.6 billion years, and humans have only existed for 5 million. After so many years, I have reason to believe that other civilizations existed before humans.】

——【Could it be alien ruins? I used to wonder where those unexplainable existences came from; now I always feel that alien civilizations have visited the Blue Planet.】

——【How has a nuclear reactor run stably for so many years? According to such long-term fission reactions, the energy it produced would be enough to shatter a star. We are truly lucky to still be alive!】

——【China has been having some sensational news lately. The pace of this country's rise is unstoppable; I'm afraid the world order will undergo huge changes before long.】

——【I've been paying close attention to major events in China lately and found that many popular events are related to someone named Fang Yang. And from what I understand, he's just an excavator worker. I don't understand, why? Did I get it wrong?】

——【Don't talk about you, even I, a Chinese person, can't understand it. He is just an excavator worker. Our China is vast and rich with a long history; there will always be some magical people appearing. You can't be jealous of that!】

The heat of this video rose higher and higher, even reaching the defense departments of countries around the world.

When the US Secretary of Defense saw this video, he was shocked and held an emergency meeting that very day.

To cope with China's development, they immediately launched a new round of sanctions.

US Department of Defense.

【Today, a billion-year-old natural nuclear reactor was discovered within China. We have reason to believe it will bring disaster to humanity. We have applied to the United Nations requesting China to open the nuclear reactor, allowing experts from various countries to conduct research to avoid accidents and ensure the safety of the Blue Planet. We hope China will cooperate actively. At the same time, we announce that we will restrict China's coal exports to ensure our own coal supply!】

Immediately after, the Kangaroo Country also jumped out and suddenly announced restrictions on coal exports to China, not only increasing prices but also adding many additional conditions.

Likewise, many lackeys followed suit and imposed sanctions regarding coal mines.

Regarding this US announcement, everyone knew the score. In recent years, China had been stood up and price-gouged by several countries over coal issues.

The public nationwide had long been discussing this—a vast and powerful nation being led by the nose by a few clowns.

And the reason given by the US side was that since China had dug up such a massive uranium mine, they shouldn't need coal anymore!

Simply ridiculous!

In response, the Chinese Ministry of National Defense gave a reply that very night.

【Quoting the US Department of Defense Press Office: A billion-year-old natural nuclear reactor was discovered within China. Having gone through a billion years of operation, it has never had any accidents; it has long since achieved a fully systematic nuclear reaction internally and will never cause an accidental disaster. The US just wants to use public opinion to mislead everyone; their true intention is to study it. If you want us to open it, then please have the US open Area 51 first, and China will naturally open ours. At the same time, we announce a ban on China's import of coal from the Kangaroo Country and related nations!】

Once this announcement was released, it immediately caused an uproar.

First, the night owls still online in the country clapped and cheered excitedly after seeing this news.

——【Strong! I like it, it should be like this. What era is this? If worst comes to worst, we won't burn coal. Even if we have to buy it from somewhere else at a higher price, we won't take this humiliation!】

——【Exhilarating! Awesome! It's just that companies relying on imports are out of luck, but in the face of national interests, individuals should make way. I just hope the country can provide a little compensation; you can't expect everyone to pay out of pocket to be patriotic.】

——【Vast China, raising our national prestige! We should strike hard against these clowns, beat them until they are afraid and beaten down, otherwise they'll be jumping in your face and disgusting you every day!】

——【And that Outer Mongolia, it's really infuriating. They also want to jump in our faces. We bought coal from them and let them make money, and now they turn around and demand double the price from us. Have they no shame?】

Contrary to the domestic situation was the foreign internet.

The citizens of the countries targeted by China's ban jumped up to disparage China.

——【Banning coal imports? How ridiculous! Just watch, it won't be long before they come begging us to sell them coal. Other countries' coal is much more expensive than ours; I don't believe they can hold out!】

——【China's coal consumption has always been that of a global power; what they produce themselves is simply not enough. Unless they find something else to replace it, they are ultimately just clowns.】

——【Hehe, I just want to see how long China can hold out. A week or a month? Sitting and waiting for the day they get slapped in the face; then the whole world will watch the joke!】

——【Forget it, forget it! They're just talking tough. For so many years, whenever they encounter something, don't they just condemn and condemn? How many times have you seen them actually take real action?】

——【Interests come first. There are no eternal enemies and no eternal friends. Facts prove that if a country is strong, it will naturally have a bunch of friends. The reason the US can get everyone to respond to its call is that it is strong enough. But I support China; I have a premonition that in a few years, China will catch up with the US in all aspects. I've long been unable to stand their hegemony!】

As time fermented, netizens at home and abroad began to curse at each other, arguing endlessly.

Facts proved that this generation of young people is still mostly very patriotic.

When the motherland is strong and firm, they feel proud and honored themselves.

And the culprit of this whole affair had long been sleeping in a sweet dream until 9:00 AM the next morning when he woke up in a daze.
