One month later, inside the Avengers base...
"Prepare for the first time travel test."
Shuri, Dr. Banner, and Scott deliberated over and over again and prepared for a month before carefully launching the first experiment. After all, entering the quantum realm is too dangerous. If Scott is not careful, he might be lost in it forever and never come back.
So even though everyone was very anxious, it still took a month of adjustment before officially starting.
Scott opened the trunk of his van, revealing the quantum channel inside, to which all kinds of instruments were connected.
"All defense systems have been activated and the emergency generators are ready."
Steve checked it again and walked over quickly and said.
"Great, if the power suddenly goes out, I don't want to leave this guy in the 1950s." Hulk said suddenly.
"ha?"
Scott looked confused in the Ant-Man suit.
"He's joking, don't take it seriously." Natasha, who was helping nearby, smiled and eased the atmosphere.
"Haha, yes, I was kidding."
Scott then walked over with confidence to make preparations.
At this time, Dio, who was standing nearby, lowered his voice and asked quietly, "Are you sure you are just joking?"
Hulk and Shuri looked at each other and said helplessly, "How is this possible? This is time travel that only exists in movies. No one can guarantee what will happen next. Maybe the result will be worse than the previous 'joke'."
There was a moment of silence.
"Does Scott know this?" Dio asked.
"He probably knows. In fact, no one among us knows how dangerous the quantum field is better than him. But he has always been optimistic. Maybe his previous successful returns to reality have given him a mysterious confidence in himself." Su Rui's expression looked extremely conflicted. To be honest, until now she has not found the scientific basis for Scott's successful return.
In the end it can only be attributed to unparalleled luck.
When a scientific research result can only be achieved by "luck", you can imagine how frustrated they are!
"Try to ensure Scott's safety. The experiment may fail, but the person must be brought back."
After a moment of silence, that was all Dio could say.
Hulk and Shuri nodded at the same time, then gave Scott a thumbs up and smiled widely.
Sometimes, confidence and morale are also important.
"Scott, we're going to send you back to a week ago, let you hang out there for an hour, and then pick you up here ten seconds later. Got you?"
"I totally understand."
"Good luck, Scott. You can do this."
"Yes, I sure can, Captain."
As soon as he finished speaking, Scott was sucked into the quantum channel.
"Ten seconds countdown! ... 3, 2, 1!"
As Shuri pressed the red button, a figure appeared again, but it was not Scott... or rather, not the original Scott.
"Uh, guys, I feel like something's wrong."
Scott, who turned back into a teenager, looked at his shrunken body with a puzzled expression.
"How is this going?"
"I don't know either."
"What went wrong? Find it quickly!"
Seeing the situation in front of them, Shuri and Dr. Banner were a little confused for a moment, and then they began to anxiously look for the problem and find a way to bring back the original Scott.
Not only the two of them, Dio and the others were also dumbfounded, and then they were filled with tension, worry and urgency!
Although everyone had guessed that the first experiment would not go smoothly, the situation that occurred was still beyond their expectations.
Snapped!
Su Rui urgently adjusted a certain parameter and then pressed the red button again.
The young version of Scott was sucked in instantly, and then an old version of Scott was spit out!
"I feel my back is sore and painful."
Snapped!
This time it's baby Scott!
"Bruce, what happened?"
“Is this a baby?”
"Yeah, baby Scott. Maybe we can raise him?"
"Stop kidding, bring Scott back and suspend the experiment."
"Don't worry, we are trying to find a solution."
"When I say turn off the power, I mean turn it off immediately. 3, 2, 1, now!"
Snapped!
"My pants are wet, but I don't know if it's the baby me, the old me, or... the current me."
"Thank God..."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Scott finally returned safe and sound.
“Why did it become like this?”
After relaxing, Dio looked at Shuri who looked depressed and asked.
"I don't know either. According to my previous simulation experiments, the situation just now shouldn't have happened. So the biggest possibility is that my thinking was wrong from the beginning. Maybe I need more time to try them one by one."
Su Rui replied tiredly and frustratedly.
During this month, she almost neglected sleep and food in her research.
It is true that she is a genius, but she is not omnipotent. It is already amazing that she was able to build a prototype of a time machine in just one month.
If she were given a few more years, maybe she could really succeed.
But what everyone lacks most now is time. If they wait until five or ten years later, and the world has gradually adapted to the current situation, then even if they successfully rescue all the missing people, it will cause great disaster and chaos again.
So the sooner we reverse this, the less damage it will cause.
Looking at Shu Rui who seemed to be blaming himself, Dio couldn't say anything harsh and couldn't help but sigh.
"We are too impatient. You should go back and have a good rest. You have been working so hard for the past month. If you collapse from exhaustion, we will lose our last hope."
Su Rui nodded reluctantly, and then prepared to force himself to have a good sleep. After he had rested well and had a clear mind, he would start working again.
In scientific research, failure is inevitable, but there are very few cases where an experiment is successful in one go.
"Scott, you should go back and have a good rest too. I'm sorry for putting you in danger this time."
"It's nothing. The quantum realm is like a supermarket to me. I can go there whenever I want and come back whenever I want. Don't worry, I volunteered to cooperate with you in the experiment. Maybe I will succeed next time."
Scott, who was frightened, instead comforted the others.
He actually didn't want to take this risk, but as he said, he lost too many people besides his daughter.
So as long as there is a glimmer of hope, he is willing to give it a try.
