Wandao long distance

Chapter 316 Coordination
I thought it was just an ordinary class, an ordinary cave.

But unexpectedly, Zhenzhi Yun moved, as if he had noticed something special, but he couldn't find it.

"Yes...why?" Li Qi felt a little confused.

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

Similar to the situation of encountering the second ray of true knowledge, that is, the true knowledge perceives something very important.

But this time there was only a slight reaction, not as intense as last time.

Well, maybe I have to be more serious.

The teacher before said that if you fail this class, you will not use it in the future, so you must pass it.

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

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

Five thousand main soldiers, ten thousand auxiliary soldiers, and thirty thousand civilian husbands.

Fortunately, they are all integers.

It's just...these soldiers are all living people?

What kind of trouble is this?

Li Qi cast his eyes on his soldiers, he could feel that these people had fresh lives and souls.

It's just...they're not humans, they're some kind of humanoid race.

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

Dragon spirit?

Li Qi is hard to say.

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

What the hell is humanity doing?This is that kind of thing again?
Taking a closer look, besides having scales on their bodies, these soldiers also have vertical pupils. The average height of each of these soldiers is one foot, and they are extremely burly.

Zhengbing, all rank nine, but it seems that there are no junior officers, there is only one existence similar to a lieutenant general, but also rank nine.

This lieutenant general is stronger than the others, but not at the level of the eighth rank.

The rest of the auxiliary soldiers are all cultivated, and every hundred people have a hundred commanders, and the centurion commanders are rank nine.

The remaining civilian husbands have all practiced superficial skills, and occasionally some can reach the level of auxiliary soldiers. Everyone is estimated to have strength of more than six or seven hundred catties.

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

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

It is indeed alive.

It seems that he lives in this cave...a 'person' who exists only for Taixue students 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 I can't get used to this kind of thing anyway.

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

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

This is true for monsters, and it is also true for these soldiers of unknown race.

This is the fundamental logic of humanity.

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

Nature is produced by man and is the product of human activities. The objective world belongs to human beings. If there is something that does not belong now, it must belong in the future.

The ore veins generated underground should be mined by humans.

Wild boars, wild cattle, wild sheep and so on should be raised in captivity. If not, they should be domesticated enough to be raised in captivity.

The fur on animals grows for human fur, not for their own protection from the cold.

Everything is useless if it cannot be used by people.

This is humanity.

Even Li Qi himself has some of these characteristics.

After practicing witchcraft, he realized one thing: "Milk should be drunk by cows."

In the past, Li Qi had always subconsciously thought that milk should be drunk by people, and that milk was a product that was placed in the supermarket waiting for people to buy, and was used to supplement calcium and sleep to make facial masks and so on.

I never thought that milk is actually the food of calves, and it should be eaten by newborn calves.

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

In any case, it was difficult for Li Qi to accept the world view of humanity, but unfortunately there was no way, it was not something he could decide whether he liked it or not.

From Wu Dao's point of view, milk has its own place, that is, "food for calves", so there is no need to break its natural position.

This breaking does not mean that people can no longer drink, but that the milk that was drunk by young calves is completely changed to be drunk by humans.

This kind of behavior fundamentally changes the position of a thing and completely tampers with the meaning of its existence. Witch Dao believes that this will disrupt the already perfect world and damage 'nature'.

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

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

The battle between humans and witches has begun to become a little fierce.

He closed his eyes and recited the proverb in his heart: "The source of the Great Dao is very true. There is nothing that is not endowed, nothing that is not received, and everything that is not limited. ..."

He is trying to reconcile the two sides with Taoism.

Existence is reasonable, nothing is not endowed, nothing is not tolerated, and everything is not limited. Humans and witches are just different choices... The Dao cannot be described, and all of these are included in the Dao. In fact, there is no conflict in essence...

While Li Qi was trying to quell the riot in his body, he said to the people around him: "Everyone, please tell me the specific situation, what do you think you should know?"

All the soldiers stood up.

The leading lieutenant-general came up to Li Qi and bowed his hands: "General, I have waited for God's will to come here to obey the general's order, but the supply of food and grass... still needs to be prepared by the general."

"Well, I already know the number of you, but what is your food intake? How much food do you need a day?" Li Qi nodded, and then asked.

It might not be the first time for the deputy general to come, upon hearing Li Qi's question, he immediately presented a silk letter.

Li Qi took it and found that it was written very clearly.

Five thousand regular soldiers, in order to maintain sufficient combat effectiveness, each person needs ten catties of refined grains, two catties of meat, and half taels of salt per 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 exercise every three days at the most. If you just hang on to prevent the combat power from dropping too much, you need to exercise every ten days.

If it was a wartime, a large amount of internal energy would be consumed, and the spiritual replenishment required by the soldiers might even reach the level of at least ten strands of internal energy per person per day.

For [-] auxiliary soldiers, the need is halved, but if training is required, it will also increase consumption, and it is similar in wartime.

It is good for the peasants not to be hungry. Two or three catties of food a day is almost enough, but if the peasants are required to do heavy work or travel long distances, they will eat more, and sometimes even double it.

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

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

In addition, there are many data, and so on.

For example, the weight of the civilian husband, the speed of movement and the like.

Because if there are too few people and too much food for the people sent out to transport food, the speed will slow down. After slowing down, it will take more time, which is equivalent to consuming more food.

But if you add more people, you have to eat more. What is the optimal solution?
To maintain combat effectiveness, do you exercise once every three days, or once every ten days?

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

This is not just a simple arithmetic, but a whole set of optimization of the overall arrangement algorithm

How to achieve the optimal solution is an important lesson for military strategists!
It's not just asking you to solve a difficult problem, but combining many difficult problems into a practical problem, and then letting you find the optimal solution.

Even if it is not the optimal solution, it must be above the pass line in order to ensure that "the army is not poor in the territory", which will lead to "the army wins but the country loses".

After reading it, Li Qi pondered for a while, then looked at the deputy general, and said, "I've seen the consumption, but where should the luggage 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 map of our country, including special products, taxes, and granaries. If it is too much, it may stir up civil uprisings, but the gains outweigh the losses.”

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

But they found that there was a map drawn on it, and a country was drawn, divided into more than a dozen states. Each state has different specialties and different populations. At critical moments, strong men can be recruited, but doing so will inevitably cause turmoil in the people's lives.

Li Qi found that the population here was surprisingly small.

There are less than 100 million people in more than a dozen states, which means that there are tens of thousands of people in one state.

Li Qi checked it carefully again, but saw that the scale was quite outrageous.

This cave is big.

The length and breadth are only six or seven hundred miles, and Li Qi can run back and forth in just a few hours. The so-called 'state' is actually not much different from the county town of Baiyue, and it is not even a country.

There are tens of thousands of people in a state, and the overall population is barely 100 million. How can such a cave cultivate so many ninth grades?
Li Qi's focus is different from the others. He didn't immediately look at things like special products, supplies, money and food, but focused on the population ratio.

This is just a ninth-rank cave, that is to say, the strongest person that can be born here is only a ninth-rank.

So among those regular soldiers, there is not a single eighth rank.

But... there are five or six thousand grade nine.

In other words, assuming that this is all the ninth ranks of this cave, then there is one ninth rank in about 2 people.

For a Ninth-Rank world, what a terrifying Ninth-Rank ratio?

Even in the world, the Ninth Rank is one in a thousand. In the Ninth Rank world, it is not bad to have one in a world.

At the beginning, in the earth and oil world, there were hundreds of millions of people, and there were only two ninth ranks, and they all followed the evil ways of humanity.

This is not right, 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 a little surprised when he heard this.

Never before has any general asked such a question.

However, his obedience for a long time made him answer immediately: "We have reached the entry level, so we are naturally the strongest among the strongest, and we are all chosen one in a million."

"It's just that the rest of the people have to guard their hometown. If the general wants to conscript them into the army, it may lead to emptiness in the rear and increase the logistical burden."

The lieutenant said cautiously, for fear that the new general was going to recruit other people by force.

Generals have done this before.

Li Qi didn't care about him, but silently stroked his chin, lost in thought.

Ninth Grade is one in ten thousand, that is to say, there are 1 Ninth Grades in this country with millions of people!

What a joke!
In the big cities in the world, the ninth grade is only one in a thousand.

What is the virtue and ability of this ninth-rank world! ?

There must be something strange, or is this just an actor?In fact, they were all transferred from the outside world?

Not like.

The eyes and eyes of these people are unique to the kind of natives.

"Rehearse your exercises for me to see." 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 the plan is not in time, I'm afraid—" The deputy general was a little anxious.

"I'm planning. I'll let you practice the exercises." Li Qi emphasized again.

The deputy general couldn't do it, so he had to practice his skills.

I just hope this general isn't too unreliable.

If it is unreliable... I am afraid that this country will not escape the disaster of war.

At the same time that he started practicing the exercises, Li Qi also started his own deduction.

Deduce what?

The objective function of course!
Isn't this thing a multi-objective function problem!
First draw a function graph, first solve the optimal solution of each single-objective problem, take the optimal solution of all single-objective problems as the expected value, and seek 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 practice, there is only one thing to do:

'Choose 'raising supplies and rations without affecting stability' from multiple objectives according to their importance as the main objective, and then convert other objectives into constraints. '

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

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

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

I'm sorry, but Li Qi's mathematics foundation is actually quite good.

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

an hour?
More than enough.

----------

On the other side of the desk, Li Lieqi was gearing up to lead a group of soldiers who looked like barbarians.

She is familiar with the matter of raising rations. In fact, in order to let her experience, her family once asked her to go to the Ninth Rank World to lead troops to fight and personally experience the army.

Raising rations and arranging supplies would not be a problem for her.

She arranges things quickly and skillfully, and has already begun to arouse the morale of the army:
"According to what you said, people in the southern country plant five grains and harvest them in autumn." Li Lieqi said loudly:

"Then we northerners should also go south to harvest according to the season! They are the five grains we plant!"
