C110 (2/2)

It had to be said that Da Ceng's suggestion was indeed not bad, but unfortunately, it was said a little too late.

Due to the archaeology, everyone left their cellphones at the station before they left. Only Xiao Hui was left alone with his phone.

However, after such a long period of time, even while she was on standby, she still used up a lot of power from her phone. She had already warned him several times when she was shooting the statue of Tiger Boy that he was short of battery. A few minutes after they entered the maze, Xiao Hui's phone automatically shut down.

This meant that even though Da Ceng had proposed a feasible method, it could not be successfully implemented when his phone was turned off.

Seeing everyone's discouraged look, Fang Zishu could not help but comfort them, ”Don't be discouraged, there are many ways to measure the time. Aside from watches, mobile phones and other instant measuring tools, we can also use some traditional methods to calculate.”

”I know a way to determine direction and calculate time.”

”The geography teacher once told me that if I were to lose my way in the wilderness, I can find a place with a sun, and then use the branches to stick in place and wait. Through the shadow cast by the branches on the ground, I can determine the direction and then use the distance and angle of the shadows to estimate the time taken.”

”But we are in the underground palace now, where can we see any sunlight?” Xiao Hui ruthlessly punctured Fatty's plan.

”We can determine the direction through the river and some vegetation, but unfortunately, we won't be able to use them here.” Da Peng's face was filled with vexation.

Professor Xu nodded. ”If we get lost in the wild, I can indeed use the growth preferences of some plants to determine our position. However, my methods won't work in this dark maze.”

Fang Zishu nodded. ”I know, that is why we must use the most primitive method to measure time.”

”What method?”

Fang Zishu slapped his thigh and laughed lightly, ”We can use our number 11 bus.”

”Route 11 bus? You mean leave? ”

Qi Sanpang was stunned. ”Go?” What kind of method was this? ”And how do you measure time?”

The fat man seemed to know the method mentioned in the book as he said excitedly, ”Master Fang, it can't be that Nimue wants to calculate time by walking, right?”

”Because all the functions of the adult body have reached their peak, they will not change for a very long time. This is what people call 'stereotyping'.”

Pausing for a moment, Fang Zishu continued, ”In the past when we were at the Fang family, I had done this every year. If I kept going at a constant speed, I would have been able to walk about 52 steps per minute, and the span of each step would have been around 80 centimeters. This figure has not been changed for three years, so when both my watch and my phone have failed, we can calculate the time by taking steps.” ”Although this method is troublesome, it is actually quite practical. It is also the only feasible method right now. What do you guys think?”
