Chapter 55: Don't make fun of personal habits
Patricia looked at Ronald first, then at the vendor.
Without thinking about it for long, the girl accepted the food.
Sitting on a bench on the platform, the two began to eat.
The cheap food sold on the train platform is not as good as a professional restaurant, and it is also far from the craftsmanship of Ronald's landlady.
Not to mention the poor packaging, the taste is definitely not much better.
But a man and a woman are not people who care about such details.
The two of them quickly finished their food, and then shifted their eyes to the end of the train station platform.
Now let's go ahead and examine the extent of the time warp, and that's where it begins.
"Alright, let's get started."
Ronald tapped his sleeve and got up from the bench.
Thinking that the items at the station would go back in time after leaving him, he didn't plan to run to the trash can, so he just put the food bag on the bench.
Immediately, he walked towards the tracks of the station.
"Let's test it from the platform this time."
Looking at Ronald's back, Patricia also got up from the bench.
She thought about it for a while, and finally threw the garbage into the trash can a few meters away before following along.
Repeat the method you just used.
The two began to continue working together.
The law of time remains the same. But with the line of 14 minutes and 24 seconds as the base point, it took the two nearly three hours to accurately measure this new straight line.
The results are out -
This division of time warp is a structure that is narrower and narrower on the inside, and wider on the outside, considering that the overall influence of time warp is circular, so this is the most typical fan-shaped section.
But there are always two sides to the story.
Once again, the time-warp area was successfully identified, and the troubles that came with it came to the fore.
In the area between 4 minutes and 48 seconds and 9 minutes and 36 seconds, a point can be measured in 5 minutes.
For the line between 9 minutes and 36 seconds and 14 minutes and 24 seconds, the time spent on each measurement is close to 10 minutes.
If this method continues, the time spent here by two people will become more and more exaggerated. Although it is not as terrifying as the doubling algorithm of putting rice on the chessboard, it will eventually evolve into a tug-of-war between the two in time.
“......”
"Patricia, I don't think we can afford to waste time like this."
After measuring the last point of this line, Ronald immediately spoke to the girl beside him:
"If we continue like this, we will only consume more time and energy on repetitive tasks."
"We can't afford it."
Hearing Ronald's words, Patricia also immediately thought about it.
The doubts in the girl's eyes quickly stabilized, and she proposed in a somewhat apprehensive tone:
"Then let's change our strategy."
"From here, we do a three-point test."
"Near to middle to farthest, only three points in a straight line are tested."
"After all, there are examples of the previous two lines being straight lines, and the result can be determined without any problems."
"That's the only way to go."
Ronald nodded and agreed with Patricia.
Why can't he hear the other party's concerns?
In order to get an accurate answer, it is necessary to go through many repeated attempts, otherwise there is a high chance that the results of the test will be problematic or some important details will be missed.
But now it's reality after all!
Reality requires compromise.
With just the two of them, a long test is an impossible option.
Even if there is no shortage of food and water in the station, the two of them can't afford it.
Suppose that the time inside the station is not synchronized with the outside world.
Then it's okay for two people to disappear for one day, and it's okay to disappear for two days.
But go on a little more......
Due to their mysterious side identity, they are bound to cause a lot of trouble.
Or to put it another way, if they continue to stay in such a chaotic area, will some kind of accident happen to them?
Performing the three-point test method is already the limit.
Confirm the next course of action.
The two of them ...... quickly
No, it can't be said to be very fast.
Even with this method, the time taken to measure one point at a time began to climb gradually.
After measuring only three time trajectories, a feeling of fatigue emerged in the mind.
“......”
"Next is 28 minutes and 48 seconds ......"
Looking at the platform behind him, Ronald silently thought about the number.
This number is only six times that of 4 minutes and 48 seconds.
So far, they have a total of 4 time zones.
But it took another three hours!
The angles of the four sectors add up to a total of 60 degrees.
Even if you put aside the rest and extra time lost by two people, it would have to take more than three days to test all the time zones of the station.
Woowoo woo –
Boom Boom –
The neighing of the East Wind came from behind him again, and Ronald looked at Patricia who was walking towards him and said:
"Let's stop."
"Hmm."
Patricia nodded, she understood the problem the two of them were going through.
In some kind of tacit understanding that goes without saying, the two returned to the place where they had first met on the platform.
This time, Ronald didn't have to take the food of two people alone.
Together, they walked up to the vendors, picked up a piece of food, and then settled on the benches and sat down.
Immediately, the hawker shouted at the two who had not paid:
"Two, haven't paid yet......"
Woowoo woo –
Boom Boom –
The Dongfeng is here again.
On the bench at this moment, the garbage bag that Ronald threw down before has completely disappeared under the effect of time update.
The new benches are exactly the same as before.
And this time at dinner time, Ronald and Patricia didn't want to be as silent as last time.
The two began to discuss the matter.
The first to speak was Ronald:
"If we don't sleep and don't make any mistakes in the next test, then it's about three days......"
"It's 70 hours, 50 minutes and 24 seconds."
Before Ronald could finish speaking, Patricia opened her mouth to say a precise number, and there was no hesitation in her affirmative eyes, she was sure that it was the correct number.
"But in fact, taking into account the perception of mistakes and the time to rest."
"With the efficiency of the two of us, the actual cost will be at least more than 5 days."
“......”
"It's been too long."
"That's right."
After two seconds of silence, the two of them acknowledged their current troubles.
Swallowing a mouthful of dry bread, Ronald was about to continue the discussion on the issue, but the person was suddenly stunned.
He noticed a problem.
“......”
"Patricia......?"
"What's wrong?"
Looking at the girl's puzzled expression, Ronald wiped his nose with his hand before he said with a stiff expression:
"This ...... It doesn't seem to be a scientific experiment. ”
"Do the two of us need to be so rigorous to verify the accuracy of the data?"
“......”
The action of chewing food stops instantly.
On the girl's silent face, the expression froze.
