Did the world end today?

Chapter 70 Forward! Forward! Forward!

Is there no more information on Mars?

Is Mars just a trap?

What's the meaning? ?

No, bro, just say it all at once!

I went through so much trouble to get in touch with you, and this is the reply you give me?

Why don't you just reply "Yes"?
Lin Xu had already stood up subconsciously. He glanced at his watch and saw that there were only 4 minutes left.

In the conference room, everyone seen on the holographic projection looked tense, and some even got up and walked to the window, seemingly wanting to witness the moment when the end of the world would come.

Lin Xu was extremely anxious.

He certainly didn't only have this one chance, but if the opportunity to explain everything was right in front of him, and Jiang Xingye insisted on playing a riddle game with him, then...
Then he really should go back 20 years and punish her severely.

We must let her know what effective information is and what it means to be articulate!
The participants have finished their group discussion and begun to focus their efforts in their respective fields.

The Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) has drawn in all the senior researchers it can reach, attempting to use the remaining time to make theoretical judgments about the possible apocalypse in order to provide a basis for disaster response efforts.

The city leadership has begun mobilizing all emergency rescue forces within the district to stand by, and the entire city has entered a state of "implicit martial law".

Experts in aerospace and deep space exploration urgently mobilized all available satellites and probes, and the space station responded immediately.

The other emergency response teams spared no expense in mobilizing all resources to push forward disaster preparedness efforts.

They don't have much time.

Even the mobilization level is not high enough.

After all, without the "highest authority" for the time being, they can only mobilize to the highest extent within a limited scope.

Without clear evidence of an impending doom, there are still many steps to go before we can truly enter a state of "full mobilization."

Lin Xu's brain was working at lightning speed.

What do I need to do if I want to further elevate the mobilization level?
That password alone is not enough.

I need to obtain more direct evidence and theoretical support regarding the end times.

This time it's definitely impossible.

Perhaps I won't be able to do it next time either.

I don't know how many cycles of reincarnation I will have to go through before I can reach that peak.

But it doesn't matter. I don't have time here, but I did have time 20 years ago.

He made a careful plan in his mind, and at that moment, the second message finally came back.

"Mars is not a refuge! This is just a more suitable observation point!"

"I have observed signs of impending doom! Image information is being transmitted back!"

"You don't have time! Run!"

The cold words concealed an unfathomable fear, and everyone who saw the message fell silent.

Time is running out.

The last two minutes.

If we evacuate now, perhaps some of the attendees will be able to reach the underground shelter in time.

But what's the point?
No one left; even those who had gone to the window for some fresh air had returned to their desks.

Everyone waited quietly for the image data to be transmitted back.

Twenty seconds later, the video transmission was complete, and the image unfolded in front of everyone.

This is an ordinary, somewhat blurry video of the starry sky. Judging from the terrain and the timestamp, the filming location is indeed on Mars.

Its subject was Deimos, which was located on the far side of the line connecting Mars and Earth at that time.
-
Or, it can no longer be called "Deimos".

Because this satellite is disintegrating!
As if drawn by some special gravitational force to the point of exceeding the Roche limit, it is disintegrating at an alarming speed and falling into the "void" in pieces!
The video abruptly ended, and everyone fell silent.

Only the staff of the Ministry of Emergency Management were busy issuing instructions.

"Yes, it has been confirmed that a major natural disaster may occur, and there is no time left."

"Immediately activate the emergency response plan and broadcast early warnings nationwide."

"Don't issue an earthquake warning! Issue a nuclear warning!"

"Get everyone into the underground air-raid shelters and hide!"

"3 minutes! Only 3 minutes left!"

"What? Satellite early warning? Early warning my ass!"

"Experts predict this is some kind of gravitational disaster! By the time satellites detect the signs, it will be too late!"

"This is the highest level of security alert! I demand your immediate cooperation!"

"understand!"

"Rescue forces should withdraw first! Preserve resources to prepare for subsequent disaster relief work!"

"I don't know! There are no clear countermeasures!"

"Let's get moving! We have to do this!" "I'll take responsibility! The emergency response team will take responsibility!"

Urgent voices echoed throughout the conference room, while at the same time, the expert team switched to the next channel.

"Time is limited, so I'll only cover the key points!"

Several theories about the end of the world!

"The black hole has not been explored."

"Vacuum decay".

"Antimatter explosion."

"Quantum tunneling leads to the collapse of the metastable state well."

"Higgs' field is unstable."

"Time crystal phase transition—this best matches our current state, but it's also the least likely; it's merely a guess!"

Remember these keywords, they might be useful!

"understand!"

Lin Xu answered decisively.

He glanced down at the time; there was only one minute left.

This was the first time he had faced the end of the world with so many "insiders".

In every previous instance, I had simply waited alone and without being understood for that white light to descend.
-
You know what, it feels kind of strange.

He looked at Bai Mo, who had already taken off his slightly cumbersome breathing mask.

She blinked slightly at Lin Xu, then asked:
"There's no time left, right?"

Lin Xu nodded.

"Twenty-two seconds left."

Bai Mo sighed, a sound like the friction of bellows emanating from his chest.

"Only one hour is indeed too short."

"This is probably the limit of what we can do."

"Perhaps we could go a little further, but..."

"Actually, it's not much better."

This world is destined to be destroyed.

Bai Mo's tone was somewhat sorrowful, even carrying a hint of negativity.

Lin Xu wanted to say something to comfort him, but the other person suddenly raised his hand.
