Chapter 138 The Eve of Destruction
"Those energy sources are just like batteries. They can't provide the corresponding energy! At least the energy of a nuclear bomb is needed to support the operation of the machine!"
"Why did you overlook this before?!"
Stark almost roared as he said this, and the spark of hope that everyone had just had was extinguished by these words.
The professor who calculated the data was quite unwilling and argued hard.
"We have calculated many times that this energy harvesting battery is sufficient."
"This energy is enough to match the consumption of opening a wormhole above Xiangjiang City. How can it be insufficient? If this is not enough, then there can be no more powerful energy on the surface. We can only wait for death!"
When the professor said the last sentence, he seemed a little angry.
Tony Stark also laughed angrily.
"Xiangjiang? Xiangjiang's wormhole is, after all, a channel opened within the same universe. What we are facing now is a collision of another parallel universe."
"Are these two the same thing? This reference is totally wrong!"
When the professor heard this, his face turned pale.
This was indeed something he had not considered.
Not only him, but all the relevant personnel were so busy that they overlooked this crucial point.
And this point may very likely make all their efforts go to waste!
Tony Stark said calmly, calming down after venting his anger.
"Prepare nuclear bombs immediately. Let Eagle Country open its nuclear arsenal and prepare at least 300 nuclear bombs."
After a pause, he continued, "The Eagle Country should still be able to take out the 300 nuclear bombs in reserve."
After a moment's silence, the trembling voice of the Eagle Country Military Region commander came from the pager.
“Originally, there was, but…”
"In the battle just now, three quarters of the nuclear bomb stockpile has been consumed, and the radiation from the nuclear bomb explosion still remains around the weapons depot. There is no way to get close to retrieve it now..."
After he finished his trembling words, there was silence again.
Everyone was waiting for Tony Stark to speak again, but he remained silent.
The anxious silence lasted for six seconds.
The time that was originally so short that it could pass by with a sigh now makes people feel anxious and as if the days are long.
It would be great if every day felt like a year. What they need most right now is time, and not a single minute or a second can be wasted.
The silence was ended by a long sigh, Tony Stark's long sigh.
"Let's start the Fire Preservation Plan. At least leave some traces to let this vast universe know that we have been here."
With that, Tony Stark cut off the connection.
His performance filled everyone with despair.
Chen Haishan's lips trembled slightly, and he opened and closed his fists, trying to grab something but unable to grab anything.
Tony Stark knew exactly what this meant.
Are all the efforts of mankind ultimately just like an ant trying to shake a tree and overestimating their own capabilities?
He looked up at the countdown, there were only ten minutes left.
He closed his eyes in pain, and wanted to clench his fists, but in the end he opened his fists and pressed a black button.
This button is for all mankind and contains only a voice message.
Until all efforts have failed, until only despair lies before your eyes, the only thing you can do is press this button.
China. People are still going to work, school, shopping, and chatting as usual. Young people gather together and chat about the live broadcast of the London incident. On the big screen in the mall, the playback clips of the live broadcast are also playing non-stop.
The boys talked about the powerful abilities of the great god Yang Jian, and the girls talked about her dress and majestic aura. Everyone's eyes were filled with pride and expectation.
But at this moment, everyone's cell phone rang or vibrated.
Ding!
Beep!
A new message was sent to their mobile phones. People clicked on it in confusion, but then froze.
"Just kidding."
Someone raised his head in panic and looked at the friend opposite him, only to find that his friend also had a look of shock and panic.
"Today is not April Fools' Day, why are you sending me this kind of thing!"
Someone was shouting in anger and fear, but when he looked up and around, he found that other people had the same expressions of disbelief and horror on their faces.
"I'm going to call the authorities. I don't believe this is true!"
Some people made hurried phone calls, hoping that the authorities could give an explanation.
Now that everyone is in a panic and doesn't know what to do, radio stations, television stations, large screens in shopping malls, and even advertising screens on the subway have all lost power.
After a moment, they lit up again.
All the pictures are the same.
He held the press release in his hand, and his face, which usually had a kind smile, was now filled with solemnity and a sadness that he could not hide no matter how hard he tried.
"Hello fellow compatriots, I am now interrupting with an urgent message."
"The vicious incident that occurred in the sky above Renton is beyond human control. The wormhole is expanding and is expected to cause a devastating disaster to the world in ten minutes."
"Scientists from all over the world have devoted all their efforts to this disaster. All of humanity has united to resist this disaster. But unfortunately, this resistance has ended in failure."
"This tragic news has the right to be known by every citizen on Earth."
"Therefore, it is with a heavy heart that I inform you that human civilization has come to an end."
"In these last moments, everyone should go see their loved ones and friends, and don't let this death bring regrets."
"This is the end of the report. Next, our station will broadcast the live broadcast of the scene in Renton. This is the last and most grand gathering of efforts of all mankind."
“Maybe there will be a miracle, or maybe it will still be ruined.”
"But in any case, we are honored to have had such a brilliant civilization."
There were tears in Kangze's eyes, his voice trembled slightly, and his hands holding the press release shook continuously.
Just before his tears were about to fall, the screen flashed and the scene above Renton appeared.
The moment Kangze appeared, those who had been hoping for the best and thought it was a collective prank were all in despair.
They didn't understand why the situation went from calm to the eve of destruction in just a moment.
But no matter how much I don’t understand or how much I refuse to believe it, it is all true.
Humanity is going to die.
Looking at the dark sky on the big screen and the ruins still emitting smoke, many people took a while to realize that this is the current Renton.
It had been destroyed so thoroughly without anyone noticing.
And the city they live in is about to follow in Renton's footsteps.
They, like the residents of London, will die for the place they live in and for the entire earth...
