Rebirth: Controlled Nuclear Fusion

Part 110：If You Don't Agree, Then Fight

Two days later, at 8:00 AM, one hour remained until the official launch of the first issue of Dragon Journal's SCI papers on the Dragon Country website.

Across the internet, scholars from various nations began to buzz with anticipation on an international forum.

D Country: "Only an hour left until Dragon Journal is released. I can't wait to see what the most trashy journal in history looks like! Heh..."

F Country: "I, too, am curious. What kind of low-tier SCI papers will Dragon Journal publish?"

Sakura Country: "With Dragon Country's academic level, any scholar from our glorious Sakura Empire could easily crush them!"

Kimchi Country: "When it comes to academia, our Kimchi Country ranks internationally. We never even considered creating an SCI journal!"

"Dragon Country, ranked low in global academic standings, actually dares to publish an SCI journal. This is clearly a recipe for disaster!"

Beautiful Country: "I bet that Dragon Journal won't even make it to the second issue before collapsing!"

Beautiful Country: "Then they'll have to grovel to us, beg us to lift their academic blockade. What a joke!"

F Country: "Dragon Country is just like this—weak in the face of pressure. I remember when we united with just a few thousand people and terrified those Dragon Country people. Hahaha..."

Before Beautiful Country could finish, a user named "Yan Long" entered the forum by accident and saw these foreign scholars mocking Dragon Country.

As a young person from Dragon Country, how could Yan Long tolerate such insults? He immediately started replying with fierce words on the forum.

Yan Long: "You shameless fools! Who are you to mock Dragon Journal, the journal created by our Dragon Country?"

Yan Long: "You all are born to be cucumbers, need a good slap! Tomorrow, you'll be walnuts, need a good bashing! For life, you'll be a broken motorcycle, need a good kicking! And those who marry, destined to be screws, need to be twisted..."

Yan Long: "..."

His outburst stunned the foreign scholars mocking Dragon Country. Then they quickly realized that "Yan Long" was from Dragon Country and began to retaliate. As expected, with so many of them, Yan Long's words were soon drowned out by a flood of responses.

Yan Long, however, was not one to back down. He immediately logged into a global war game where he was the leader of a 10,000-person guild.

Upon logging in, he found his guild engaged in a fierce battle with a rival guild. Upon seeing their leader's arrival, his guildmates were filled with excitement, knowing that with his leadership, they would easily defeat the enemy.

However, instead of leading a charge with weapons, Yan Long called a ceasefire with the rival guild leader and told everyone about the insults he had just encountered.

Upon hearing about the mockery of their country, the young guild members were furious. Full of youthful energy, they were ready to fight anyone who dared insult them.

Yan Long shared the forum link in the game, and soon the guildmates, fired up with rage, stormed the forum with insults, overwhelming the foreign scholars with a barrage of curse words.

Then Yan Long ordered into his headset: "Stop!"

Everyone immediately ceased spamming the forum. Yan Long created a voice chat for 100,000 players, all of whom were either allies, enemies, or former rivals in the game.

Now, under Yan Long's command, they united in solidarity to retaliate against the foreign scholars mocking their country.

Yan Long then typed a line in the forum: "Dare to insult Dragon Country again, and we'll flood you with our own... urine!"

Sakura Country: "What uncouth Dragon Country people! Academic excellence can't be achieved through insults!"

Seeing that Sakura Country was daring to reply, Yan Long immediately gave the order: "Brothers, take them down!"

The entire guild unleashed their fury on Sakura Country in retaliation, and soon the foreign scholars from other nations began to sympathize with Sakura Country, witnessing the overwhelming tide of Dragon Country's anger.

But this verbal exchange lacked substance. Yan Long quickly realized this was not the way to regain their country's honor, so he shifted gears.

He issued a command: "Brothers, this war of words achieves nothing. Let's fight for Dragon Country's dignity in our own way."

"Everyone, log in and equip your best gear. We're headed to the southeast border for a national battle!"

Understanding Yan Long's intent, the players quickly geared up and teleported to the southeast border of the game map.

Yan Long, leading the charge as a warrior, grinned wickedly as the screen was filled with glowing characters.

"Attack!" he shouted.

With his guild's overwhelming force, they easily broke through the powerful NPCs guarding the border, swiftly defeating them. The game system had a rule preventing players from attacking NPCs, but now that they had broken it, a global bounty was placed on the "murderers."

Foreign players saw the bounty and eagerly gathered to hunt the culprits. But before they could even leave their cities, the 100,000 strong guild stormed and flattened their home cities.

One by one, foreign cities were taken down, and the foreign players, terrified, logged off in haste.

Yan Long, elated, shouted into his headset: "Brothers, we have conquered the world! Hahaha..."

...

Soon, the time reached 9:00 AM.

Scholars from many countries around the globe were anxiously waiting for this moment—not to learn, but to mock Dragon Country.

When the time arrived, the number of visitors to the Dragon Journal website surged.

In the background, the technical department noticed that IP addresses from all over the world were accessing the site.

The website for Dragon Journal was designed with international standards for SCI journals in mind and could accommodate up to one million online users simultaneously.

However, the current number of online visitors was only 50,000, which was only 5% of the total capacity. Since it was an academic site, not many people were expected to visit, mostly only academic researchers from around the world—about 1.5 million in total.

The technical team of Dragon Journal was confident that there would be no issues with the site's capacity. Cheng Shu, the head of the journal, had even inquired about the system's performance and, upon hearing there were no concerns, was able to relax.
