I'm live-streaming Pokémon science popularization on New World.

On the makeshift platform, Lin Dao stood with Pikachu on his shoulder.

"Today, we are gathered here not just to break the first clod of earth and pour the first cubic meter of concrete."

The sound of the forest road was clear and powerful, spreading across the wilderness through a high-quality loudspeaker system, creating a slight echo between the snow-capped mountains and forests.

"Everything we are doing today is laying the first foundation for a brand new era."

"This city, named 'New Bond,' will belong to all life from the very beginning."

He deliberately turned to the side and looked at the Pokémon standing at the edge of the crowd.

"Here, there will be no absolute division between humans and Pokémon, only residents who are neighbors and share the sunshine and rain."

"Our architecture will coexist with forests, streams, and hills, and our technology will facilitate rather than destroy life."

Lin Dao opened his arms wide, as if to embrace the entire city.

"We are not building a city on top of nature. Our goal is for the city itself to become a new nature, full of vitality and wisdom!"

Thunderous applause erupted, and enthusiastic cheers burst from the crowd.

Lin Dao smiled and waited for the noise to subside, then raised his voice, as if announcing the beginning of a miracle:

"Now, I hereby announce—the construction of New Edge City has officially begun!"

Before he finished speaking, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers crisply.

Immediately afterwards, a strange buzzing sound came from the direction of the warehouse.

Ten thousand silver cubes surged into the sky like a swarm of bees, reflecting countless points of silver light under the rising sun.

They hovered briefly in the air, as if receiving instructions, before beginning a dazzling transformation. Their surface armor unfolded, extending slender and precise mechanical arms, and their internal structures reorganized as if alive, emitting melodious harmonies.

If you've seen the Pokémon movie "Rayquabem the Visitor," you'll be shocked to recognize that these smart modules are replicas and modified versions of the smart modules found in the high-tech city of Larus!

Then, a scene that everyone will never forget happened.

These cubes rapidly and orderly changed formation in the air, like building blocks being manipulated by an invisible giant hand.

Some units fly to the mountain of standardized building modules, precisely adsorbing, grabbing, and transporting them; others, like the most skillful craftsmen, fly to the planned foundation locations and begin millimeter-level splicing, fusion, and reinforcement.

They are connected by a faint beam of energy and work together with astonishing efficiency.

The basic structure, which originally required heavy machinery and a large amount of manpower to complete over several weeks, is now "growing" at a speed visible to the naked eye!

There was no deafening noise, no billowing dust, only the harmonious hum of the blocks moving and the soft clatter of the components fitting together perfectly.

The basic framework of a building can take shape in ten minutes, with a precision far exceeding that of any manual construction.

"Good heavens... what is that?!"

"They're not robots...they're like living building blocks!"

"This is amazing! Where did this technology come from?"

"Take a picture! This will definitely make global headlines!"

Exclamations of surprise, exclamations of admiration, and the clicking of camera shutters filled the air.

Both humans and Pokémon were deeply attracted by this construction scene that exceeded their imagination.

A daring long-tailed monster even tried to jump up and touch the low-flying cube. The cube nimbly dodged it, but popped a tree fruit out of its body as a "greeting gift".

Pikachu stood on Lin Dao's shoulder, mouth agape, tiny sparks crackling from the electric sacs on its cheeks: "Pika...chu?!"

The snake-patterned bear in Li Hao's arms had wide-open eyes, and its tail was swaying from side to side involuntarily.

Shen Yu'er looked up at the silent yet efficient "construction army" in the sky and finally fully understood Lin Dao's profound meaning.

This is not a traditional construction project, but a "declaration" showcasing new productivity and civilizational concepts, a powerful announcement to the world of the new technological starting point of a new era.

From the very first second that construction began, Xinyuan City was destined to amaze the world.

Footage of the groundbreaking ceremony was instantly transmitted around the world via satellite and the internet.

Within China, social media platforms erupted in excitement:

The topic "[New Yuan Construction Live Broadcast]" garnered over 100 million views within half an hour.

"Smart block city building?! This sci-fi movie has become a reality?!"

"Isn't this just making things worse for the already struggling civil engineering guys? Will construction sites stop hiring them altogether?"

"You're mistaken! I work for China Railway X Bureau. Our leader just came back from a meeting and said the country has a major plan! After transportation resumes, all regions will be upgraded and renovated, and new 'Pokémon-friendly' infrastructure will be built, such as bus stops with Pokémon rest areas, new building materials that are resistant to electric shocks and impacts, and dedicated paths for people and pets to walk on... There are so many projects, and we're urgently recruiting nationwide, with increased salaries!"

"Yes! Several popular plots of land and old venues in Shanghai are already being demolished, and the planning maps have been leaked. They're going to build 'Pokémon Centers' and standard battle arenas just like those in the Pokémon anime!"

"The same goes for Beijing! A large area of ​​land has already been fenced off next to Chaoyang Park."

"Chengdu is even more direct. The gynecology hospital that was previously under construction but was halted has begun renovations and has started recruiting and training medical staff!"

The public's concerns were quickly overshadowed by more specific information.

In fact, all major cities have received tasks related to the construction of supporting facilities.

In order to seize the initiative, developed cities have even launched a number of benchmark projects with local government funding before the central government's special funds have been fully in place.

Industries related to construction, building materials, landscaping, smart home, special insurance, and pet (Pokémon) medical care have sensed an unprecedented huge business opportunity and are eager to seize it.

A wave of upgrades and developments across the entire industry chain, triggered by the fusion of Pokémon.

What excites the industry even more is that the document is accompanied by a 200-page "Guide to the Transformation of the Traditional Construction Industry," which details how to integrate Pokémon Collaboration and new material technologies into routine construction projects. The civil engineering industry is not facing a winter, but a technological revolution.

However, the international reaction was much more complex.

Foreign mainstream media outlets reported with shock and vigilance: "China showcases extraterrestrial-level construction capabilities."

Could Xinyuan City become a military base?

Could intelligent building units be converted for military use?

Several governments convened emergency security meetings.

The intelligence department of a major power wrote in an internal report.

"China has been ahead of the world in Pokémon-related technologies for at least ten years. If the energy source technology used in Newland City were converted for military use, it would completely change the strategic balance."
