“This will be a day that all humanity will be looking back in a thousand years in praise and wonder as we forever changed the course of human history.” Said the lead scientist as he stood before a large panel of his peers in the most advanced laboratory on Earth. Behind him was multiple strange pieces of equipment like none other. “When we open this micro-wormhole, we will be able to pull power from the universe itself and that power will change everything.”
“If our math is right, we will be able to pull over 10X the power that is required to make the wormhole and with that we will have an endless source of power for the planet.” added another scientists as she stepped up to stand beside the head scientist “We will solve the energy needs of a whole planet and in time we may be able to expand the worm-hole and use it to travel faster then light to other stars, but that is a step for another day.”
“Ok…everyone to your places.” said the head scientist as the team spread out and began the long process of starting the machine.
After hours of tense work, everything was going perfectly and as everyone watched on in amazement a tiny rip in space appeared. It was about the size of a baseball and was a mix of purple and black, do to it being in a test chamber they could not see it aside from form the monitors.
“Everything is green…we are pulling power.” reported a technician. “DAMN.”
“What.” Snapped everyone in the room as one of their hands hovered over the kill switch.
“We are pulling over 17x the power from the worm hole that we are putting in.” reported the technician.
“Above what we expected.” Said the head scientist
“Above…the max we believed would be 15x and that would be over hours of raising the amount we put in.” whispered the other scientist
“Still well within safe range, we will just slow down how much we raise the output.” Countered the head scientist.
“SIR!!!” yelled another technician “Something is happening.”
