As shown in the figure, there is a solid figure with base formed by the curve $y = \sqrt { x } + 1$, the $x$-axis, the $y$-axis, and the line $x = 1$. When the cross-section of this solid figure cut by a plane perpendicular to the $x$-axis is always a square, what is the volume of this solid figure? [3 points]\\
(1) $\frac { 7 } { 3 }$\\
(2) $\frac { 5 } { 2 }$\\
(3) $\frac { 8 } { 3 }$\\
(4) $\frac { 17 } { 6 }$\\
(5) 3
