Chapter 55: Don’t make fun of personal habits.
Patricia looked at Ronald first, and then at the vendor.
Without thinking for too long, the girl accepted the food.
Sitting on the bench on the platform, the two began to eat.
After all, the cheap food sold on the train platform cannot compare with professional restaurants, 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.
However, the man and the woman were not people who cared about such details.
They finished the food quickly and then moved their eyes to the end of the train platform.
Next, continue to examine the scope of time distortion, starting here.
"Okay, let's get started."
Ronald patted his sleeves and stood up from the bench.
Thinking that the items at the station would be traced back in time after leaving him, he did not intend to run to the trash can, so he directly placed the food packaging bags on the bench.
Immediately, he walked towards the station tracks.
"Let's test from the platform first this time."
Looking at Ronald's back, Patricia also stood up from the bench.
She thought for a while and finally threw the garbage into the trash can a few meters away before following it.
Still use the method just used.
The two began to cooperate.
The laws of time remain unchanged. But using the 14 minutes and 24 seconds line as the base point, it took the two of them nearly three hours to accurately measure this new straight line.
The result is out -
this way of dividing time distortion is a structure that becomes narrower towards the inside and wider towards the outside. Considering that the overall scope of influence of time distortion is a circle, this is the most typical fan-shaped section. .
But there are always two sides to things.
The time-distorted area was successfully confirmed again, and the troubles that followed were highlighted.
In the area between 4 minutes and 48 seconds to 9 minutes and 36 seconds, one point can basically be measured in 5 minutes.
As for the line between 9 minutes and 36 seconds to 14 minutes and 24 seconds, it takes nearly ten minutes to measure each time.
If this method continues, the time spent by two people here will become increasingly exaggerated. Although it is not as scary as the doubling algorithm of placing meters on the chessboard, it will eventually turn into a tug of war between the two of them in time.
"."
"Patricia, I don't think we can continue to waste time like this."
After measuring the last point of this line, Ronald immediately said to the girl next to him:
"If this continues, we will only be Spending more time and energy on repetitive work."
"We can't afford it."
After hearing Ronald's words, Patricia immediately thought about it.
The doubts in the girl's eyes quickly stabilized, and she suggested with a somewhat worried tone:
"Then let's change our strategy." "
From here on, we will conduct a three-point test method." "
From near to the middle and then to the farthest, only test Three points on a straight line."
"After all, there are previous examples where the two lines are straight lines. Generally speaking, the result can be determined without any problems." "
That's the only way."
Ronald nodded and agreed with Patri Sia's statement.
Why couldn't he hear the other party's concerns?
If you want to get an accurate answer, you must go through multiple repeated attempts. Otherwise, the test results are likely to have problems, or some potentially important details will be missed during the process.
But this is reality after all!
Reality requires compromise.
With just the two of them, lengthy testing was not an option.
Even though there was no shortage of food and water at the station, the two of them couldn't afford it.
Assume that the time in the station is not synchronized with the outside world.
So the two of them can disappear for one day, or they can disappear for two days,
but if they continue to disappear for more than one day
, they will definitely cause a lot of trouble due to their mysterious identities.
Or to put it another way, if they continue to stay in this time-chaotic area, will some kind of accident happen to them?
The three-point-once test method is already the limit.
Confirm next course of action.
The two of them were very fast.
No, I can’t say they were very fast.
Even using this method, the time it takes to measure points one by one begins to gradually increase.
After only measuring three time trajectories, a feeling of fatigue emerged in my spirit.
"."
"Next is 28 minutes and 48 seconds."
Looking at the platform behind him, Ronald recited this number silently in his mind.
This number is only 6 times that of 4 minutes and 48 seconds.
So far, they have obtained a total of 4 time zone division trajectories.
But it took another three hours!
The angles of the four sectors add up to a total of only 60 degrees.
Even if we put aside the rest and extra time lost by the two of us, it would take more than three days to test all time zones of the station.
Wuwuwu——
哐珰哐珰——The
neighing sound of the Dongfeng came from behind again. Ronald looked at Patricia walking towards him and said:
"Stop first."
"Yes. ."
Patricia nodded, and she also understood the problems the two of them were encountering now.
Out of some unspoken tacit understanding, the two returned to the place where they first met on the platform.
This time there was no need for Ronald to carry food for two people by himself.
They walked to the vendor together and each picked up a piece of food, then returned to the bench and sat down at the right time.
Immediately, the hawker shouted to the two people who had not paid:
"You two, you haven't paid yet"
Wuwuwu -
bang bang bang bang -
the Dongfeng came again.
On the bench at this moment, the garbage bag that Ronald had thrown down had completely disappeared under the influence of time update.
The brand new bench is exactly the same as before.
But this time during dinner time, Ronald and Patricia did not want to be silent like last time.
The two began to discuss the matter.
Ronald was the first to speak:
"If we don't sleep and don't make any mistakes in the next test, then it will be about three days." "
That's 70 hours, 50 minutes and 24 seconds."
Before Ronald could finish, Patricia spoke up. When an accurate number came out, there was no hesitation in that affirmative look. She was very sure that this was the correct number.
"But actually taking into account the mistakes and rest time."
"With the work efficiency of the two of us, the actual cost will be at least more than 5 days." "
."
"It's too long."
"That's right."
Silence For two seconds, the two of them admitted their current troubles together.
After swallowing a mouthful of dry bread, Ronald was about to continue discussing this issue, but he was suddenly stunned.
He noticed a problem.
"."
"Patricia?"
"What's wrong?"
Looking at the girl's confused expression, Ronald wiped his nose with his hand first, and then said with a stiff expression:
"This doesn't seem to be a scientific experiment. "."
"Do we two need to be so rigorous in verifying the accuracy of the data?"
"."
The chewing of food stopped instantly.
The expression on the girl's silent face also froze.
