Lin Sanjiu had never seen such a "water droplet" before.
If one were to hold it in the palm of one's hand, this crystal clear object that glowed with water under the dim light would look like a normal water droplet, except that it was a little big. But as long as she threw the water droplet down, the water droplet would immediately bounce up from the ground and roll away — and her palms would not even get wet.
From a few cubicles not far away, a few exclamations of "Huh?" could also be heard. Apparently, they did not expect the water droplets to have this characteristic. Hearing that the people outside were asking each other questions, Lin Sanjiu made a mental command and the water droplet turned into a card in her hand.
"Luckily, I can turn it into a card."
Lin Sanjiu let out a sigh of relief when she thought of that. However, before she could finish exhaling, she focused her gaze on the surface of the card.
[Harry's Farm Pocket Dimension Water Droplet 1]
Description: This is the first water droplet Lin Sanjiu found. If you absorb it in Harry's Farm Pocket Dimension, the seed might germinate. There is also a possibility that the seed might be contaminated and weaken your body. In that case, was this water droplet pure or polluted?
"How would the card know about this?
Lin Sanjiu, please differentiate the water droplets seriously. Don't always think that you can find a shortcut with the card.
"What kind of description is this?"
After Lin Sanjiu finished reading the description, an angry thought rose in her mind. In that case, turning the card into a water droplet was just a little more convenient for her to carry around. It was completely meaningless!
Since the description on the card was useless, the most important thing now was to differentiate between pure and contaminated water droplets.
In the small cubicle she was hiding in, there were two water droplets that looked exactly the same on the ground. Judging from their appearance, there was really no difference between them.
"Hey … Did everyone find a water droplet?"
Someone's muffled voice came from the space above Lin Sanjiu's head. Due to the unique structure of the chamber, the sound didn't travel very clearly. Lin Sanjiu wasn't familiar with the other seeds, so she couldn't tell who was speaking, "How many water droplets did you guys find?"
"I found one in the first cubicle. I found two more in the second cubicle. "
He didn't expect that someone would answer immediately. Then, the others responded one after another.
When Lin Sanjiu thought about it, she realized that it wasn't anything surprising.
First of all, Harry had guaranteed that there were enough pure water droplets for all eight of them to germinate. It was unnecessary for everyone to be on guard against each other. Secondly, even if they had all the water droplets, if they could not tell whether they were pure or polluted, it would be pointless.
Although the number of water droplets in each cubicle was different, some cubicles were empty. There would always be more than one water droplet.
"They've all been found. Then … did anyone notice any difference? "the first voice asked hesitantly.
This time, the response was only a sparse "no".
According to Harry, as long as one covered the water droplets with both hands and shouted "Absorb", the water droplets would be absorbed immediately. When everyone heard that, they did not have any other questions. However, when they saw the water droplets that were shaped like rubber balls, they started to have doubts.
"I say —" the only female voice other than Lin Sanjiu spoke up. It seemed like the voice came from behind Lin Sanjiu, "Can any of you accurately weigh the water droplets? There must be more impurities in the polluted water droplets. Logically speaking, it should be heavier, right? "
In this pocket dimension, they were either local or foreign posthumans. They were probably either local or foreign posthumans. Although everyone had some sort of trump card on them, none of them had anything that could be weighed, not to mention the precision equipment in the laboratory.
Even though everyone said that they couldn't weigh it, Lin Sanjiu couldn't help putting a water droplet in her hand to feel it, even though she knew that she wouldn't find anything.
When she poked her head out to take a look, she realized that she wasn't the only one doing so.
After everyone gave it a try, they heard someone sigh loudly.
"So … what if we use light to pass through the water droplets?" Number 47, who was usually a man of few words, suddenly spoke, "Water droplets with a lot of impurities should have a lower resolution."
This idea was much more practical than weighing. Immediately, lights lit up in one of the cubicles. Everyone discussed with each other. All of them agreed to come out from their cubicles and gathered at the same spot where they were listening to the explanation. Number 43 and Number 44, who had the brightest torchlight, began the experiment.
To ensure the accuracy of the results, they even gave the water droplets a number. They took turns to test the water droplets. However, to everyone's disappointment, no matter how many water droplets they changed, the other side of the water droplets remained the same, sparkling and clear.
Since this method didn't work, some people suggested "putting a test strip in it", "tasting it", "trying to filter the water droplets", and so on. There were even people who suggested "looking at the residue after evaporating the water droplets", which was obviously not thought through. However, since the water droplets were like rubber balls, none of these ideas were feasible.
After more than ten ideas were rejected by reality, the earth chamber fell into silence. The earth chamber fell into silence.
"Can we still go out now?" Seeing that they were stuck at the most crucial step, Number 44 rolled his eyes and suddenly asked, "If we can go out, I can be your representative and bring back a precision instrument."
Number 43 was fiddling with his headscarf, which seemed to be his habit when he was upset. When he heard Number 44's suggestion, he sneered, "You're right. Why don't you ask Harry? "
Number 44 didn't seem to hear the sarcasm in his tone. He raised his voice and asked Harry. As expected, Harry's reply made everyone's heart sink, "... Go out? Am I crazy? Do I have to dig out the seeds that I've spent so much effort to plant? You guys better think about how to germinate. "
Everyone fell silent.
"Why don't we think of another way to do the experiment …" Number 45 seemed to have noticed everyone's gloomy expression, so she quickly suggested. However, before she could finish her sentence, Lin Sanjiu shook her head, "No, I don't think it's feasible to analyze the pollution level of the water droplets using a technical method."
Her words instantly attracted everyone's attention. "How did you know?" someone asked.
"I don't have any proof. It's just my intuition." Lin Sanjiu ignored the obvious disappointment on their faces and continued, "But when I think about it, my intuition makes sense. Look. If someone in our group happens to have an instrument that can analyze the composition of the water droplets, wouldn't this level be meaningless? Wouldn't it be unfair to the other batches of seeds who don't have the instrument? "
"You're right. Since we said that this pocket dimension is to help posthumans, we should consider everyone who enters this pocket dimension, "Number 43 added with some reservations after he thought for a while.
At that moment, Lin Sanjiu's gaze swept across the field and caught something. It seemed to be a gaze, but it also seemed to be a subtle expression. For some reason, it felt a little out of place. It felt like something that shouldn't exist …
"Besides, the pocket dimension is different from the real world. Maybe these water droplets aren't any different from each other. It's just that the effects of the pocket dimension are different."
Lin Sanjiu didn't pay any attention to the discussion around her. She was trying to figure out what she had just seen when Number 44's voice interrupted her thoughts. "Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
"Harry! Can you analyze the water droplets? "He raised his head and his voice was so loud that it annoyed Lin Sanjiu.
"I'm sorry, I don't know," Harry replied as expected.
"Stop asking. It's impossible for him to provide us with any help on such a crucial question. Otherwise, what's the point of setting the question?" Seeing that Number 44 was eager to try again, Lin Sanjiu sighed. Seeing that Number 44 was eager to try again, Number 42 stopped him impatiently. He was the oldest person in the field and he was the first one to arrive here. Naturally, his words carried some weight. Number 44 didn't say anything else.
"What should we do now?"
Number 42 was stumped by Lin Sanjiu's question. After a while, he sighed, "We haven't explored the entire chamber yet. Maybe it's too early to ask this question. Have you guys collected your water droplets? Hmm, let's collect them first. We'll talk about it when we have enough water droplets. However, when you're looking for the water droplets, you must pay more attention to your surroundings. You might find some useful information. "
Even though it wasn't a solution, they had no choice but to do so. As they mumbled to each other, they went into their respective cubicles.
Lin Sanjiu found another cubicle. Just when she was about to enter the cubicle, she felt a light tap on her shoulder. She couldn't believe that someone had gotten so close to her without her noticing. Lin Sanjiu shuddered. However, when she turned her head, she saw that Fang Dan had retracted her hand.
"Even the sense of touch can be imagined …"
Lin Sanjiu thought to herself. She then looked behind "Fang Dan".
Number 46 and Number 48 were huddled together. They were discussing something softly at the back of the cubicle. Since all the lights had been removed, only their number tags were still dimly lit. Lin Sanjiu couldn't see their faces clearly. She could only tell that they were about the same size.
"Looks like they are a couple," Lin Sanjiu immediately retracted her gaze when she felt Number 46 raise his head. She didn't want them to think that she was spying on them. "It's not bad to have someone to talk to."
Unfortunately, her grand prize couldn't come down. Otherwise, with his intelligence, he might be able to figure out a way to differentiate the water droplets.
Lin Sanjiu thought as she picked up the water droplet on the ground.
After she converted the water droplet into a card, the title changed to [Harry's Farm Pocket Dimension Water Droplet 3]. The description didn't change at all. Lin Sanjiu had to think of another way.
Just like that, she collected another five or six water droplets. Just as she was about to step on the edge of the wall and move to the next cubicle, she suddenly heard a sound of "eh?" coming from someone in the chamber.
"What's wrong?" Number 42 asked immediately.
"Something's not right …" The muffled voice was very far away, so Lin Sanjiu had a hard time listening to it, "Hmm, I'm not sure if this is a discovery … How many water droplets have you guys found in a cubicle?"
Lin Sanjiu was stunned. She frowned and thought for a while. She had only found two water droplets at most, and some cubicles didn't even have a single water droplet. After listening to the answers from the others, she realized that most of them had the same answer as her. Only one or two people said that they had found three water droplets at most.
With that, Number 42 understood the situation even without the person who spoke first to explain it to him.
"If that's the case, there's really a problem! So far, we have searched through more than half of the cubicles, right? Furthermore, we are doing it separately … "Feeling a little anxious, he raised his voice," Think about it, there are eight of us, so we need a total of 320 water droplets to ensure that all of us germinate. There are only 100 cubicles here. Even if there are three water droplets in each cubicle, there are only 300 water droplets in total. This number includes the polluted water source. However, the number of water droplets in each cubicle is simply not enough! "
It wasn't hard to figure this out, but everyone had overlooked it. Hence, the moment Number 42's voice faded away, someone shouted anxiously, "Harry! Harry! "
"Why are you looking for me again?"
"Didn't you say that there are enough water droplets for eight people to germinate? We don't have enough water droplets at all! "
What was different from the past was that this time, Harry's voice was strangely silent for a few seconds before he slowly replied, "No, you are wrong. There are definitely enough water droplets — eight people, a total of 320 pure water droplets."
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
"Then … the number of water droplets here isn't enough?"
"I've already told you all the hints," Harry said calmly, "You can't expect me to prepare all the answers for you, right? After all, you are the seeds. "
This time, a cacophony of voices erupted in the chamber.
When Number 42's calm voice rang out, the atmosphere in the earthen chamber became a little more at ease, "Listen to me, I have a guess."
"What is it?"
"Harry wouldn't lie to us. Let's just think about it and we know that there are 320 water droplets in this earthen chamber. In that case, there must be 320 pure water droplets in this chamber … My idea is that there might be some gaps or secret passages between these cubicles that hide a large number of water droplets. "
It sounded reasonable. After all, the design of the cubicles was a little strange.
"But I've already gone through so many cubicles. Do I have to go back and look for them one by one?" Number 44 shouted.
"No … We can't go back and look for the water droplets by ourselves. If we don't work together and look around randomly, we will definitely miss some spots," Number 42 muttered. Lin Sanjiu was a little anxious, "I think we have to work together in this stage to find enough water droplets. Perhaps, this is Harry's intention." "I think we have to work together in this stage to find enough water droplets. Perhaps, this is Harry's intention.
Just when Lin Sanjiu was about to ask him how they were going to work together, she suddenly looked up. She saw a hand poking out from the edge of the cubicle, followed by a leg. It was Number 46, who had just come down from another cubicle.
"Oh, hi," Lin Sanjiu greeted him, trying her best to maintain a natural expression, "I've collected all the water droplets here. You can go to other cubicles."
Even in the darkness, Lin Sanjiu could see Number 46's smooth and glossy hair. His hair flickered as he nodded. Then, he left silently.
In the next second, Lin Sanjiu's attention was attracted by Number 42's plan. (To be continued.)
PS:
I'm so sleepy. In order to write yesterday's chapter, I drank a cup of coffee after eight o 'clock. In the end, I stayed awake until dawn … I went to sleep after writing this chapter. Even Daniel Wu didn't open the door when I knocked.
