8. (10 points) Divide a cubic wooden block with an edge length of 1 meter into small cubic building blocks with an edge length of 1 centimeter. Imagine that Sun Wukong uses his divine power to stack all the small building blocks one by one, forming a rectangular "magic rod" pointing to the sky. Knowing that the altitude of Mount Everest is 8844 meters, then the height of the "magic rod" exceeds the altitude of Mount Everest by meters.
【Analysis】1 meter $=100$ centimeters, then 1 cubic meter $=1000000$ cubic centimeters, which means a cubic meter of wood can be divided into 1000000 small cubes with an edge length of 1 centimeter, and the solution can be found accordingly.

【Solution】Solution: 1 cubic meter $=1000000$ cubic centimeters, which means a cubic meter of wood can be divided into 1000000 small cubes with an edge length of 1 centimeter;

If they are stacked to form a "magic stick", the height $=1000000 \times 0.01=10000$ (meters); that is, it is higher than the altitude of Mount Everest by $10000-8848=1156$ (meters), so the answer is 1156. Therefore, the answer is: 1156.
