Chapter 316 Coordination

I thought it was just an ordinary class, an ordinary cave.

But unexpectedly, Zhenzhiyun started to move, as if he noticed something special, but he couldn't find out.

"Yes...why?" Li Qi had some doubts in his heart.

Is it because of this cave? This feeling made him unable to explain why.

Similar to the situation when encountering the second ray of true knowledge, the true knowledge detects something very important.

But this time it was just a slight reaction, not as intense as last time.

Then, maybe you need to be more serious.

The teacher said before that if you don't pass this class, you won't be able to take it again, so you must pass the class.

Put aside those strange feelings first, concentrate on the exam, and then talk about it after the exam is over.

Then, Li Qi looked at the number of people recorded in the cave.

There are five thousand regular soldiers, ten thousand auxiliary soldiers, and thirty thousand civilians.

Fortunately, they are all integers.

It's just...are these soldiers alive?

What's going on?

Li Qi turned his attention to his soldiers. He could feel that these people had fresh lives and souls.

It's just that... they are not humans, but some kind of humanoid race.

The body is covered with scales, faintly revealing some...

Dragon energy?

It's hard for Li Qi to say.

It's completely different from the breath of a real dragon, but it has a bit of that flavor.

What is humanity doing? Is this that kind of thing again?

If you look closely, you will see that in addition to having scales on their bodies, these soldiers also have vertical pupils. The average height of each of them is one foot, and they are extremely tall.

The regular soldiers are all ninth grade, but there seems to be no junior officers. There is only one person who is similar to a deputy general, but he is also ninth grade.

This lieutenant is stronger than the others, but not to the level of eighth level.

The rest of the auxiliary soldiers are all cultivated. There are one hundred captains for every hundred people, and the centurion is the ninth grade.

The remaining civilians have all practiced rudimentary martial arts, and occasionally some can reach the level of auxiliary soldiers. Everyone is estimated to have a strength of more than six or seven hundred kilograms.

When Li Qi landed on the ground, he saw these soldiers immediately kneeling down on one knee: "See General!"

The voice is smart and you can feel the breath of the soul.

A living person indeed.

It seems that he is a 'person' who lives in this cave... and exists only for the students of Imperial Academy to learn the art of war.

Li Qi felt a little uncomfortable.

He has experienced the power of humanity and the convenience of being a human being.

But no matter what, I can't get used to this kind of thing.

All these conveniences and power are based on a large number of consumables, just like fuel.

It is the constant burning of these fuels that keeps this huge machine of humanity running.

The monsters are like this, and so are the soldiers of unknown race in front of them.

This is the fundamental logic of humanity.

All things in the world exist for people. People not only control all things, but are also the value of all things in this world. People are the essence and core of the world.

Nature is created by humans and is the product of human activities. The objective world belongs to humans. If there is anything that does not belong now, it will definitely belong in the future.

Mineral veins generated underground are meant to be mined by humans.

Wild boars, buffaloes, wild sheep, etc., should be kept in captivity. If not, then they should be domesticated enough to be kept in captivity.

The fur on animals is grown for humans, not to protect themselves from the cold.

Everything is useless if it cannot be used by people.

This is humanity.

Even Li Qi himself has some of this characteristic.

After practicing witchcraft, he realized something: "Milk is supposed to be drunk by cows."

Before, Li Qi had always subconsciously felt that milk should be consumed by people. Milk was a commodity placed in supermarkets waiting for people to buy it. It was used to supplement calcium, help sleep, make facial masks, etc.

I have never thought that milk is actually food for calves and should be eaten by newborn calves.

This subtle influence on concepts is Tao’s arrangement of the world.

No matter what, it is difficult for Li Qi to accept the world view of humanity. Unfortunately, there is no way. This is not something that he can decide whether he likes it or not.

In the view of Wu Dao, milk has its own place, which is the position of 'food for calves', so there is no need to break its natural position.

This breakthrough does not mean that people can no longer drink it, but it means that milk from calves has been completely changed into something that people can drink.

This kind of behavior is to fundamentally change the position of an object and completely tamper with its meaning of existence. Wu Dao believes that this will disrupt the already perfect world and destroy 'nature'.

Nature does not refer to flowers and plants, but refers to everything in the universe throughout the ages.

Realizing this difference again, Li Qi even felt that his small world was a little sluggish.

The battle between humans and witches is starting to get a little fierce.

He closed his eyes and recited the motto silently in his heart: "The source of the great road is very true. Nothing is given away, nothing is not accepted, and nothing is not saved. The broadness is endless, and the fineness is endless. Therefore, it is said that everything is connected to one, and everything is completed." …”

He is trying to use Taoism to reconcile the two sides.

Existence is reasonable. There is nothing that is not given to, nothing that is not accepted, and nothing that is not saved. Humans and witches are just different choices... The Dao cannot be described. All these are included in the Dao. In fact, there is no conflict in essence...

While trying to calm down the riot in his body, Li Qi said to the people around him: "Everyone, please stand up and tell me the specific situation. What do you think you should know?"

The soldiers all stood up.

The leading lieutenant general came forward and handed over to Li Qi: "General, I have received the decree from heaven and come to obey the general's order. However, the luggage, grain, grass and other items... still need to be prepared by the general."

"Well, I already know the number of you, but how much do you eat? How much food do you need per day?" Li Qi nodded and then asked.

This might not be the first time that the deputy general came. When he heard Li Qi's question, he immediately handed over a silk letter.

Li Qi took it and found that the writing on it was very clear.

To maintain sufficient combat effectiveness for five thousand regular soldiers, each person needs ten kilograms of refined grain, two kilograms of meat, and half a tael of salt a day.

If you need to practice, you need not only meat, but also enough spiritual food to replenish your inner energy.

If you want to maintain an elite soldier, you need to train once every three days at the most. If you just want to hang it to prevent the combat effectiveness from falling too much, then you need to train every ten days.

If it is wartime and a large amount of internal energy is consumed, the spiritual supplies needed by the regular soldiers may even reach the level of at least ten strands of internal energy per person per day.

Ten thousand auxiliary troops are required at half the cost, but if training is required, the consumption will increase, and the same is true in wartime.

As long as the people are not hungry, two or three kilograms of grain a day is almost enough. But if the people need to do heavy work or travel long distances, they will eat more, and sometimes even double it.

But meat and spiritual things need not be prepared for them.

But if you work without being fed, non-combat attrition may occur.

In addition, there is a lot of data, to name a few.

For example, the civilian husband's weight, movement speed and so on.

Because if there are too few people and too much food among the people sent out to transport food, the speed will slow down. After the slowdown, more time will be consumed, which is equivalent to consuming more food.

But if more people are added, more food will be eaten. What is the optimal solution?

To maintain combat effectiveness, should we perform exercises every three days or every ten days?

Looking at it this way, the pre-war preparations for the march and the storage of baggage are really a technical job.

This is not just a simple arithmetic, but the optimization of a complete set of overall planning algorithms.

How to achieve the optimal solution is an important lesson for military strategists!

It is not just a problem that you are asked to solve, but many problems, integrated into a practical problem, and then you are asked to find the optimal solution.

Even if it is not the optimal solution, it must be above the passing line to ensure that "the army is raised and the territory is not poor", which leads to "the army is victorious but the country is defeated".

After Li Qi read it, he pondered for a moment, then looked at the deputy general and said, "I have seen the consumption, but where should this baggage be allocated? Where do the resources come from?"

The deputy general immediately presented another silk letter and said to Li Qi: "General Mingjian, this is a good map of our country. Special products, taxation, and granaries are all in it. I just hope that the general will deploy it appropriately. If a certain place is forcibly requisitioned, If it is too much, it may provoke civil unrest, and the gain will not be worth the loss.”

Hearing this, Li Qi took the silk book from the other party's hand and read it again.

However, they discovered that there was a map drawn on it, depicting a country divided into more than a dozen states. Each state had different specialties and a different population. At critical moments, strong men could also be forcibly recruited, but doing so would inevitably cause turmoil in the people's livelihood.

Li Qi discovered that the population here was surprisingly small.

There are less than one million people in more than a dozen states, which means there are only tens of thousands in one state.

Li Qi looked carefully and saw that the scale was quite outrageous.

This cave is huge.

It is only six to seven hundred miles in length and breadth, and Li Qi can travel back and forth in just a few hours. The so-called "state" is actually not much different from the county seat in Baiyue, and it is not enough to qualify as a country.

There are tens of thousands of people in one state, and the overall population is barely one million. How could such a cave cultivate so many ninth-grade people?

Li Qi's focus was different from others. He did not immediately look at special products, money and grain, but paid attention to the population ratio.

This is just a ninth-grade cave, which means that the strongest person who can be born here is only a ninth-grade one.

Therefore, among those regular soldiers, there is not even an eighth-grade soldier.

But... there are nine grades of five to six thousand.

In other words, assuming that here are all the ninth-grade people in this cave, then there will be one ninth-grade person among about 20,000 people.

For a ninth-grade world, what a terrifying ninth-grade ratio is this?

Even in the world, the ninth grade is one of the best in a thousand. In the ninth grade world, it would be good to have one in a world.

Back then, in the Earthly Oil World, there were hundreds of millions of people, and there were only two ninth-level people, and they all followed the evil ways of human nature.

This is wrong. What has humanity done in this world?

Li Qi frowned and asked, "How many people of your level are there in your hometown?"

The deputy general was slightly surprised when he heard this.

No general had ever asked such a question.

However, his long-term obedience made him immediately answer: "We have reached the top level, so naturally we are the strongest among the strong, and we are all one in a million."

"It's just that the remaining people have to guard their hometowns. If the general wants to force them to join the army, I'm afraid it will leave the rear empty and increase the logistical burden."

The lieutenant said cautiously, fearing that the new general was planning to forcefully recruit others.

Generals have done this before.

Li Qi didn't care about this, but silently touched his chin and fell into deep thought.

The ninth grade is only one in ten thousand. In other words, there are millions of people in this country, and there are ten thousand ninth grades!

What a joke!

Among the big cities in the world, the ninth grade is only one in a thousand.

How virtuous and capable is this ninth-grade world! ?

There must be something fishy involved, or is this just an actor? In fact, they are all transferred from outside?

Not like that.

The eyes and gazes of these people are the kind that only indigenous people have.

"Practice your skills and show them to me." Thinking about this, Li Qi raised his head and said to the deputy general.

"General... time is urgent. We only have one hour to make plans... If we fail to plan, I'm afraid-" The deputy general was a little anxious.

"I'm planning, I'll let you practice the technique." Li Qi emphasized.

The lieutenant general had no choice but to practice the technique.

I just hope this general is not too unreliable.

If it is not reliable...I am afraid that this country will not be able to escape the disaster of war.

At the same time that he started to practice the skills, Li Qi also started his own deduction.

What to deduce?

Of course it is the objective function!

Isn't this thing just a multi-objective function problem?

First draw a function graph, first solve the optimal solution of each single-objective problem, take the optimal solutions of all single-objective problems as the expected value, and find the point closest to the expected solution in the feasible region as the optimal solution of the multi-objective optimization problem.

It seems very complicated, with many variables and many things to suppress, but in fact, in operation, there is only one thing to do:

‘Select ‘raising supplies and military rations without affecting stability’ as the main goal from multiple goals based on importance, and then convert other goals into constraints. ’

Then, the multi-objective optimization problem can be transformed into a single-objective problem.

As long as you set a reasonable enough target weight coefficient for relatively important indicators, and then bring it into the multi-objective function... then the problem will be easily solved.

As I said, this kind of thing tests the counting method.

Sorry, Li Qi's math foundation is actually quite good.

While watching the deputy general practice his skills, he deduced the calculation function to see how to find the optimal solution for raising military rations.

An hour?

More than enough.

——————————

On the other side of the desk, Li Lieqi was eagerly leading a group of soldiers who looked like barbarians.

She was familiar with the matter of raising military rations. In fact, in order to give her some experience, her family once asked her to go to the ninth-level world to lead troops to fight and experience the battle.

Raising military rations and arranging baggage were not a problem for her.

She arranged things quickly and skillfully, and had already begun to encourage military morale:

"According to what you said, people in the southern country plant grains and harvest them in autumn." Li Lieqi said loudly:

"Then we northerners should also go south to harvest according to the seasons! They are the grains we grow!"
