The moment a slightly older staff member confirmed that everything was in order, he started the power button.

The centrifuge of the equipment spun at high speed, the buzzing echoing throughout the cave.

"Release alpha particles..."

"Release gamma particles..."

"Adjust the injection angle, switch between primary and auxiliary equipment..."

"Increase power, strengthen beta rays..."

…

At this moment, the cave was illuminated by the light emitted from the particle gun as if it were daytime. The entire cave was incredibly bright under the irradiation of the particle stream. The light emitted by the equipment was extremely dazzling, making it impossible to look directly at it.

The equipment operated at high speed and high intensity, and the particles shot out by the particle gun frantically surged toward the water droplet, but the water droplet did not undergo any obvious changes.

Han Yu saw the abnormality and quickly asked the older staff member, "Why hasn't the water droplet changed at all?"

The older staff member was covered in sweat. He said nervously to Han Yu, "Our estimation of the water droplet's configuration was incorrect. The energy currently being used is far from enough, which is why the particle rate in the pipes is insufficient..."

The older staff member continued, "According to my observation, this substance is very special. The current energy is not enough to shake it. If we continue to input energy, even if we exhaust all of it, we can only barely tear open the water droplet's space and open a temporary passage. Moreover, the water droplet will not have its physical properties completely altered by these particle rays. If the energy is interrupted and the particle stream disappears, the space torn open in the water droplet will instantly return to its original state..."

An Wenshan became impatient and scolded, "Old man, speak plainly!"

The older staff member was startled by An Wenshan and didn't know how to organize his words for a moment.

Han Yu answered An Wenshan on behalf of the older staff member, "We need to go all out now, but even if we mobilize all the energy, we can only open a temporary gap. We won't be able to come back out once we go in. This is a one-way ticket."

Han Yu didn't hesitate and directly issued the final instruction to the staff.

"Increase energy supply!"

After receiving the instruction, the staff began to connect all the backup energy sources to the equipment.

Han Yu turned to the older staff member and said, "Activate all the energy and open the passage, regardless of the consequences."

At Han Yu's command, the staff members started the backup power supplies one after another. The working speed of the centrifuge equipment became faster and faster as the angle of incidence of the equipment's particle gun was adjusted.

Under the impact of the ultra-high energy particle stream, a small opening finally appeared on the water droplet, and this opening was still increasing.

The scene before everyone's eyes was very similar to the scene of fluorescent dots bombarding the transparent walls of the simulated space in the rainforest.

Originally, the people arranged to enter the water droplet were Han Yu, Li Decha, An Wenshan, and two of An Wenshan's subordinates.

But a sudden change made Han Yu feel a pang of tenderness.

Han Yu said to Li Decha and An Wenshan, "There's no return on this trip. I'll go by myself. Give me the bag. You don't need to participate in this journey."

However, An Wenshan didn't give the bag to Han Yu. He took a step back and shook his head, "If there's no return, I can't let a little girl like you go. Old An isn't afraid of death. I'll go with you."

An Wenshan's two subordinates also echoed An Wenshan, looking ready to die.

Li Decha smiled wryly. An Wenshan had already stated his position, and he couldn't be a deserter at this critical moment. He then said, "My mother is gone, and I don't have any attachments in this world anymore. It doesn't matter. Let's go in together."

Hearing this, An Wenshan cast an approving look at Li Decha for the first time.

The small opening on the water droplet's wall was gradually torn into a small hole that could accommodate one person to crawl in, and this hole was still expanding.

A staff member responsible for observing the energy situation suddenly shouted to Han Yu and the others, "Our energy will be exhausted in ten seconds."

Immediately afterward, another staff member began to read the numbers -

"Ten..."

"Nine..."

"Eight..."

"Seven..."

An Wenshan strode towards the water droplet with a hole opened in it, but he was pulled back by Han Yu as soon as he took a step.

Han Yu warned, "High-energy particles are bombarding the water droplet right now. If you rush over rashly, you will be melted into slag before you even get close to the water droplet, leaving nothing behind. Don't rush. Follow me. After the equipment stops, I estimate there will be a window of about two seconds. These two seconds are our chance. Life or death depends on this moment."

"Six..."

"Five..."

"Four..."

With three seconds left on the countdown, Han Yu said to the others, "Prepare to sprint. Stay close to me and be sure to cross over to the other side of the water droplet before the hole disappears!"

"Three..."

"Two..."

"One!"

…

The countdown ended.

All the energy was exhausted, and the cave went dark instantly, as if the lights had been turned off, and it was pitch black.

Then, apart from the sound of the machines gradually stopping, there was no sound.

The cave was eerily quiet.

"Dr. Han!"

That is to say, no matter what, they would definitely have no chance to come back alive.
