Aster stared at the cube, which was roughly 10 centimeters across on each side. The entire object looked as if it were made out of a single piece of solid metal.
But it was actually an assembly of smaller-gauge blocks adhering to each other through a mix of negative pressure pulling the blocks together, and the surface tension of oil and air acting as glue, keeping them joined.
Each of the smaller gauge blocks acts as a small data storage medium, with a similar concept to Solid State Drives. However, instead of microchips storing the data, it was literally carved into the smaller gauge blocks' non-contact faces.
"But why did they choose this inefficient method of storage?" Aster couldn't help but wonder.
If they used an SSD, then they could store more information than 100,000 cubes could with just one.
