As time ticked away by the minute and second.
Li Zheng and Lin Yujing gradually forgot that this was a competition.
When they inserted numbers into the equations, it was as if they had truly become doomsday scientists.
However, the process was far less smooth than they had imagined.
With every calculation, they were greeted by a chilling result.
Throughout the process, Lin Yujing tried to flatten the Earth, cut it open, change its orbit, and even allow it to brush past the Sun.
But nothing worked, nothing at all.
Let alone talk of escape and wandering, they couldn't even take the step of halting the Earth's rotation.
It was akin to a physics problem that asked whether a balloon could accelerate using its own deflation over 200 years to leave the Solar System, and how much air it would need to release every second.
If it were just an exam question, of course, one could mechanically provide an answer.
