Global Famine: My items can be automatically upgraded.

When my teacher pointed out that my formula was incorrect, I thought it wasn't me who was wrong, but him. I even suspected that the teacher's mission wasn't to pass on knowledge to the next generation, but to persecute progressive individuals like me.

The teacher explained the reason again. He said the area formula was wrong. You're a smart kid. You actually came up with such a simple method to derive the Pythagorean theorem. What a pity...

[I asked, isn't the area formula length times width? ]

[The teacher said that was just an approximation. It's actually written that way in lower grade textbooks, but when you get to higher grades, you'll know that to calculate area, in addition to multiplying the length by the width, you also need to multiply by a correction factor—that's the correct and strict area formula.]

I was crestfallen. Yeah, I should have known it wasn't that simple. How could I have discovered something so simple by myself?

I returned home feeling frustrated. Looking at the pair of paper cutouts on the table, I lost all interest in fiddling with them.

When Shen Bei saw this, his mind was in a mess.

So... after all the twists and turns, the way to calculate the area on Guokr Planet is really different?

What problem can be solved by showing this to yourself?

Shen Bei didn't think much about it and continued reading.

Ignore some insignificant records.

I'm about to fill out the volunteer form. I've decided to apply to be an astronaut. I still remember that my childhood wish was to be a scientist. Even though I've awakened the bloodline of my ancestors... this doesn't hinder my wish.

[But…now, whenever I think of science, my head starts to ache. Those fantastical scientific theories, once paired with complex numbers, are so tedious and lengthy that they drive people crazy and make them bored.]

[This world is like this, built on a bunch of irrational numbers that have no aesthetic value.]

Sometimes I think that if there really is a Creator, then He must be a guy with poor skills and no sense of beauty.

……

[The spacecraft has left the Guokr Planet and is heading deeper into the universe. This is the greatest achievement our species has ever made.]

[Three years from now, when the model and observation data of the spacecraft are transmitted back to our planet, they will surely be proud of me.]

[And I will continue to move forward and explore areas that no one has ever set foot in.]

I am about to enter deep space...

……

Something strange happened again. A few days ago, a crack inexplicably appeared on the spacecraft's ceiling. The air pressure sensor keenly detected the leak, which was in a very remote corner. I carefully repaired the crack to prevent further air leakage.

Ever since I entered the unknown depths of deep space and the spacecraft began to crack, various emergencies have occurred continuously. The cabin feels like it's been squeezed, with many wrinkles and cracks. This shouldn't happen. The spacecraft has not encountered any danger during its journey, and it's new, far from being scrapped.

[But the situation is really bad. Even various sensors and engines have started to malfunction frequently. Visible cracks have begun to appear on those hard alloy components, and I can't find anything destroying them.]

I'm working tirelessly to fix these cracks, but it makes no sense. The spaceship is in the vastness of space, so where does the pressure come from?

……

Seeing this, Shen Bei scratched his head.

As Bermuda grew up, he has grown from a primary school student to a person who drives a spacecraft to carry out deep space exploration missions.

But he was the only one exploring.

When encountering strange problems, not only Bermula was puzzled, but Shen Bei also found it difficult to understand.

Logically speaking, parts are not easily damaged in a vacuum environment.

But now, it seems that there is a "destructive" ghost playing tricks on Bermula's spaceship.

Otherwise, how do you explain why cracks started to appear on the alloy parts?

It's like a cup of water is placed in front of you, but when you turn around and want to take a drink from it, you find that the cup is gone...

It would be strange if this wasn't haunted!

Shen Bei continued reading with curiosity.

[The problem is quite serious. I found that the gravity sensors on the spacecraft are malfunctioning. An asteroid just passed in front of the spacecraft, but the gravity data obtained by the sensors is completely garbled. Not only are the parameters completely unfamiliar to me, but they also don't match the computer simulation results at all.]

[Sigh... I don't know how long this situation will last.]

……

I think I know where the problem lies. I've been pondering the gravity data from the past few days and have discovered a strange fact. If I assume that these data are correct and substitute them into the gravity formula, I find that... the power to which gravity is inversely proportional to distance is exactly 2!

I used polarized light interferometry to measure the lengths of the sides of a right triangle. The shorter side is 3, the longer side is 4, and the hypotenuse is surprisingly 5!

[In other words, the correction parameters on the Guokr planet are gone! The complex calculations have also disappeared, and the universe here is so simple that it's a bit eerie!]

I deduced a model of the universe, but immediately stopped fantasizing because, even with this crude deduction, the beauty of its precision and simplicity made me subconsciously question its authenticity.

"What does this...what does this period of time mean?"

Shen Bei was a little confused when he saw this.

No... the correction parameters are gone?

Shen Bei frowned and continued reading.

[I knew the spacecraft couldn't hold out much longer. Every part was on the verge of collapse. Even if I turned back immediately, there was no chance of a completely safe landing.]

[The Pythagorean Theorem, it is the Pythagorean Theorem that caused all this! ]

The spacecraft's spliced ​​hull, the delicate connections within its instruments, all of this was manufactured and joined according to the power of 2.013. However, now... the rules have changed.

[2.013, which originally perfectly fit the rules, has now become the most discordant note. In this precise five-line score, its energy, which has nowhere to be released, will tear apart the entire exquisite movement.]

This is how the universe should be. I once questioned the Creator's incompetence, but it turns out that our planet, Guokr, has always been the Creator's outcast.

Shen Bei: ???

Seeing this, Shen Bei immediately grasped the key point, and it seemed that all the mysteries were about to be solved.

It is obvious that Bermula has entered a different universe while driving his spaceship, or in other words, he is too far away from the Guokr planet. The "rules" in the universe are not static, but gradually changing!

The spacecraft is built according to the constant of "2.013". Once it enters the "2" area, it cannot withstand the changes and distortions of gravity.

This is why the spacecraft, which was originally in good condition, started to malfunction.

It’s entirely because the “rules” are gradually changing!

Just like the Indians in the old days who ate with their hands, but when they went to Western countries, they would naturally be scolded if they still ate with their hands.

Because the "rules" have changed!

From this we can draw a conclusion: the "constant value" is different in different regions of the universe.

The spaceship was about to collapse, but I wasn't afraid at all. In fact, I was quite calm. Even if I had stayed on Guokr Planet, relying on my bloodline, I could have thrived and become a leader.

[But unfortunately, I would never have discovered the fascinating Pythagorean theorem in this universe.]

[The Pythagorean theorem should be like this: a simple "2" without complicated calculations. This is a beautiful universe... and I will fall asleep in such a universe.]
