Chapter 140 Complete Despair
Bruce Banner's expression changed slightly. This was a simple arithmetic problem and Tony Stark had explained it so clearly, there was no way he wouldn't understand it.
He spoke with difficulty, feeling his throat dry: "You mean to say that no matter how much we delay, no matter how much energy we gather, it will not be enough to completely reverse the situation?"
Tony Stark nodded, and then sighed: "The energy required next is not one plus one two plus two, but two times two four times four. Even if the entire earth is drained, it will not be able to supply this exponentially increasing energy consumption."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but hold his forehead.
"I thought of this possibility before. At that time, I thought the value of the first reversal would be at least -10, but now it's only -1, which is still a deviation of a few tenths of a point."
"You should know what this means."
He shook his head and murmured, "It's impossible. Humans can't produce such a huge amount of energy..."
Bruce Banner's expression darkened in an instant.
Zhou Hao and Zhang Yang also felt distressed when they heard what the two said.
Zhou Hao said: "Then we must notify the ground immediately!"
"No need." Tony Stark shook his head, "Some of them should have come to their senses by now."
Even if one does not understand cosmology, as long as one watches the black hole continue to expand, one will understand that things have not changed.
Zhou Hao and Zhang Yang were stunned for a moment, but soon understood what Tony Stark meant.
Zhou Hao smacked his head dejectedly: "Is it destined like this? There is no hope at all?"
Tony Stark looked at him with pity and shook his head slightly.
But he suddenly remembered something.
"If we talk about hope, there may be one more."
These words immediately attracted the attention of the other three people, and they focused their eyes on him.
But he didn't notice any of this and continued muttering to himself.
"Hope, that's Professor Lin Feng."
Bruce Banner's eyes lit up again at these words.
He recalled the quantum unpredictable dynamics that had troubled him and Tony Stark. They were overwhelmed and miserable, but Professor Lin Feng's words opened their minds.
"Yes, there is also Professor Lin Feng! It may bring us a turning point!"
Zhou Hao sighed: "But Professor Lin Feng is missing, and we still can't find any clues related to him."
Tony Stark shook his head firmly: "Not finding Professor Lin Feng means there is hope!"
"He didn't join the command center and didn't offer any opinions or suggestions, which means we still have room for adjustment and transformation!"
"If he makes suggestions and offers solutions, and the result is still like this, then we should despair."
Bruce Banner thought about it and nodded unconsciously.
Zhou Hao and Zhang Yang felt that even if Lin Feng appeared at this moment and put forward his own opinions, it would not necessarily have any earth-shaking impact on the situation.
But seeing both of them say this and were so sure, they couldn't help but feel a faint glimmer of hope rising in their hearts.
The four people in the space capsule gradually began to feel hopeful, but the people on the ground were feeling hopeless.
As Tony Stark said, everyone is gradually coming to their senses.
Even those who knew nothing about it, seeing that the black hole not only did not shrink but continued to expand at a slow pace, gradually understood what was going on.
The cheers gradually died down, and in the command center, many older scholars had already begun to grope for quick-acting heart-saving pills.
In just three and a half hours, they have experienced too many ups and downs.
Every time they thought things had taken a turn for the better, the huge black hole ironically told them that no matter how hard they tried, they were in vain.
Even the most courageous person could not stand such horrible torture. ", , ..."
The reversal value suddenly stopped and remained at the insignificant number of .
"Why did you stop?!"
"Is the energy insufficient?"
"Jump, keep jumping! Don't stop!"
Chen Haishan clenched his fists tightly, staring at the paused numbers, and shouting wildly in his heart.
Don't stop! Why would you stop?!
What went wrong?
Professor Vincent, who was standing next to the machine, saw the paused numbers before anyone else and understood what happened before anyone else.
"Without enough energy, the machine cannot continue to reverse and can only maintain its original state."
“The energy we have now is simply not enough.”
He spoke with difficulty, but word by word.
"If the deviation value is less than -100, the hole will continue to expand. But now we have only increased the deviation value to -1."
His words were clearly transmitted to all parts of the world through the live broadcast. Scientists, craftsmen and ordinary people who did not understand what was happening but only knew that things were going to get bad were all silent.
From -1 to -100, even elementary school students know the difference.
Is it true, is there no last glimmer of hope?
Chen Haishan really couldn't accept this fact. He asked whimsically: "I will coordinate all parties and prepare energy now. Is there any hope to replenish the energy before the black hole expands?"
Professor Vincent gave the same bitter smile as Tony Stark.
"Of course we can add more energy, but even if we find a way to use all the energy in the world, it may not be enough to fill this gap. What we need is the energy that is currently consumed to the hundredth power."
"Besides, even if we can raise such a huge amount of energy, the equipment may not be able to handle it. It may even explode due to overheating."
Every word was like a heavy hammer, announcing to everyone that there was no possibility of return.
Chen Haishan slammed his fist on the command desk and gritted his teeth.
"How could that be? How could that be?"
I have clearly made every effort and tried my best, but why is the result still such despair?
What else can humans do to deal with such a desperate situation?
Suddenly, he thought of Tathagata again.
Thinking of the mysterious formation, thinking of the compassionate Buddha who waved his hand lightly and brought countless dead people back to life.
If it was Buddha Tathagata who took action, perhaps there would still be hope for everyone.
Chen Haishan thought about everything that happened at the beginning, and tried hard to recall the details about Tathagata as if he was grasping at the last straw, thinking that maybe he could imitate him and gain one or two points of his power to save the current situation.
But thinking about it is ultimately futile. I clearly still remember the amazement and admiration I felt at the time. The moment I think about it, the scene clearly appears in my mind.
But once I think back to the specific details, my mind immediately becomes blurry.
The more I think about it, the more desperate I become.
Chen Haishan lay on the table and covered his tired face with his hands.
In the command center, low sobbing sounds came from someone, spreading from one person to another, and gradually turned into loud crying.
In every corner of the world, countless people knelt on the ground in despair, some were crying so hard that they couldn't breathe, while others were running desperately towards home.
If this world is really going to be destroyed, if I really have to die, I must die next to my family!
