After coming up with the answer of an eighty-centimeter diameter, Zhang Yanhang began to work backwards from the diameter and found that when the length of the crimson iron ore pillar reached two meters, its volume was exactly one cubic meter.
Zhang Yanhang calculated the volume of the crimson iron ore pillars mainly to avoid wasting inventory space, since the volume limit for each inventory slot was one cubic meter, and for higher efficiency, it was necessary to fill up the entire cubic meter.
"Well, since that's the case," he thought, "let's set the length of each crimson iron ore pillar to forty meters. That way, each pillar would exactly have a volume of twenty cubic meters. My Storage Box +3 has a total of eight hundred slots, more than enough to accommodate forty pillars in a row, which means I could mine out a distance of one thousand six hundred meters at a time.
