304, a cube that has become larger
At six o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Qi arrived at the north bus station in Shudu, the provincial capital.
There is also a long-distance bus to Jiangcheng at the North Bus Station, but the terminal there is not at the Chengjiaping Bus Terminal, but at another place called "Rouyuan Dam".
It didn't matter if he said to the king, he didn't dare to delay the time, so he bought a ticket directly.
A quarter after six o'clock, Wang Qi boarded the bus from Shudu to Jiangcheng.
After getting into the car, when his stomach began to growl, Wang Qi suddenly found that from morning to now, he had not even touched a drop of water, not only did he not eat, but he also had no time to drink a sip of water.
And what made him feel "desperate" the most was that before getting on the bus, he forgot to buy dry food! The packet of phoenix feet and beer in the original cube was also used as an "offering" by him in the morning and sacrificed to his unmasked and ill-fated godbrother Guo Kaile.
It seems that the 'porter' is really not so easy to be a porter. In this way, it is only possible to eat after the bus arrives at the service station on the way. Wang Qi licked his somewhat dry lips and touched his somewhat wilted belly, crying bitterly in his heart.
Unable to sleep and hungry again, Wang Qi had to think of other things to divert his attention.
So, he opened the cube to see what was going on with his five baskets of pea tips. Although Wang Qi's refrigerator simulates the environment of the refrigerator in reality, there is no gravity in it after all, Wang Qi has never done experiments in this area before, and he does not know whether the weightless environment will have any impact on the preservation of crops.
However, as soon as the cube opened, he was stunned.
What made Wang Qi stunned was not that there was any change in the pea tips inside, but that the pea tips in the basket were still watery and verdant, as if they had just been picked from the ground.
What made his mouth open wide was that he thought that after losing the five baskets of pea tips with a total volume of almost 0.9 squares, his cube should be stuffed to the brim, and there would be little space left inside, however, the cube at this time, after loading five baskets of pea tips, there was still a lot of space left! The five baskets of pea tips that were close to one cube only occupied half of the space of the cube in the cube!
"What the hell is going on? Could it be that I made a mistake in my previous calculations?" Wang Qi immediately used his consciousness to mobilize the small ruler he had bought in the stationery store to measure the length of the cube in the "room temperature", and began to re-measure the length, width and height of the bamboo basket.
Not long ago, he used his finger card. The length of his extended thumb and middle finger is about 20 centimeters, but it is only approximate, not exact, and there must be an error in this.
However, the results he measured with a ruler showed that the volume of the bamboo basket containing the pea tips was about the same as the volume he measured with his finger card, and the total volume of the five baskets of pea tips was about 0.9 cubic meters!
Looking at the two similar measurements, and then at the large blank space left next to the five baskets, Wang Qi only felt incredible, and the first thought that popped into his mind was:
"Could it be...... This cube ...... Got bigger?"
As soon as the idea of the cube getting bigger came out, Wang Qi's heart was immediately like a tractor being ignited, "ramming and eating", and it shook violently, along with the hunger and thirst that had been bothering him just now, and it was also trembling in an instant.
The next moment, I saw that the elementary school students who had cut off the ends of the cube and were accurate to the millimeter with a transparent plastic ruler began to roll and fly along the side of the cube, rolling six times in a row, but they hadn't finished rolling!
He hurriedly exercised the ruler and measured the remaining small section, 6 centimeters!
The side length of the cube has changed from 1 meter to 1.26 meters!
"This ...... What's going on? Could it be that the cube is going to get bigger? Is it suddenly getting bigger? or is it growing slowly?" Wang Qi's heart was beating wildly, in disbelief, but he had to stare at the length of the side that had just been measured with a ruler in front of him.
Suddenly, he remembered the "column icon" that had first appeared in the cube.
A few months ago, when the cube was changed for the first time, four "bar icons" appeared at once that could adjust the physical parameters of the cube, namely "temperature column", "humidity column", "pressure column", and the last icon that he knew nothing about and named "energy column".
Underneath this "energy column", there are two numbers, the first of which is a three-digit number, with a minimum of 0 and a maximum of 100. The other digit is ten digits, and the next five digits are constantly jumping.
The first number, which he quickly cracked, represented a certain restriction on his material exchange between the real space and the cube, and as he kept moving forward, the cube's energy was also consumed. If the energy consumption reaches zero, he cannot take the object into or out of the cube, and must wait until the cube is automatically charged before he can continue to use it.
This is similar to the battery of a mobile phone, and the name "energy column" is derived from this.
The second digit reached a big number of ten digits, and after Wang Qi studied it for several days, and didn't come up with any fame, he found that this thing had no effect or harm to his use of the cube, but after changing his own, he didn't bother to care. In the end, he didn't even bother to look at it!
Anyway, it's inexplicable to see it.
Now, Wang Qi once again fixed his gaze on the ten digits in the second row below the "energy pillar" that made him give up thinking. Before, when he got the cube, the first three digits of the ten digits started with "100", but now, it has become "126"!
"126? The side length of the cube I just measured with a ruler is 1.26 meters, that is, 126 centimeters, is there any connection between these two numbers? This ten-digit number, does it represent the side length of the cube? But why not use a three-digit number to simply express it like the 'energy' above, why do you want to make a ten-digit number that makes people look like an old shell hurts...... Wang Qi felt that he was about to understand the meaning of this ten-digit figure that had plagued him for months, and now he was short of a membrane that had not been pierced by him.
"The ten-digit side length is 1.26 meters, 12.6 decimeters, 126 centimeters, 1260 millimeters—right, the fourth ten-digit number is really 0——, millimeters?microns, 1,260,000 microns, the ruler of a schoolboy can only be accurate to millimeters, what is the fifth, sixth, and seventh digit of the ten-digits?273, which is 1260273 microns? Oh, it's changed, it's changed, it's 1260274 microns...... What is a micron? nanometer? Yes, nanometer, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 is exactly ten digits...... Hahahaha, Lao Tzu finally figured out what the ten digits of this dog day were!" After some guessing and calculation, Wang Qi immediately couldn't help laughing!
Sudden laughter inside the bus must be a strange thing.
When the excited Wang Qi realized this, almost all the people in the car were in unison, looking at him who suddenly laughed with a strange, stunned, frightened, and disdainful look, a person who looked like a dog, but the result was not normal, maybe he was a "neurotic" guy!
"Hehehehe...... sorry…… sorry!” Wang Qi's face immediately showed an apologetic look, and he smiled and apologized to those around him who looked at him.
But his apologetic "smirk" undoubtedly proved many people's conjecture about his "neurosis", which frightened several big girls and little daughters-in-law who had a good impression of him quickly turned their heads to the side and did not look at him, for fear of attracting the attention of this neurotic.
Now in a high-speed and closed car, if this neurotic goes crazy and pounces on himself and bites himself twice, and he doesn't even have a place to run, it will be miserable!
Wang Qi, who finally understood the meaning of the ten-digit number, Wang Qi could finally come to a conclusion:
The cube is indeed getting bigger, or rather, growing!
It's just that the speed of growth is not suddenly larger, but at the speed of "nanoscale" in the "slow and rapid" growth!
It is precisely because the growth rate of the cube is measured in "nanometers" and does not suddenly become larger, that Wang Qi, the "frog" in the warm water, has not noticed the fact that the cube has become larger for so long!
If the cube jumps from 1 meter to 1.26 meters at once, and the volume changes from 1×1×1=1 cube to 1.26×1.26×1.26=2 cubes, he is not blind and will definitely notice this sudden change.
