"Armor isn't for you to face griffins, it's for you to see griffons alive. If the Sunset Mountains were only a threat to griffins, there was no threat. You at least know what a wolf is......"

"Same. Renault shook his head: "I've only been training for two months, and I'm actually a burden in battle, and the only effect of wearing armor is to keep me from moving." Look at the joints, look at the nails and the belts, I'm going to be killed by these things. ”

"Then ......," Tron thought for a moment, "Well, I'll find you a set of cotton armor." It's going to get colder and colder in the mountains, so you'll have to dress warmly anyway. As for the rest of the protection...... You go to Turasden and help him carry his things. Dry food and sundries can also play a protective role, hehehehe. ”

Renault thought about it and finally agreed.

"Do we have one more companion? Then we need to prepare food for one more person, and we have to recount the camping supplies. Yes...... What a hassle!"

Turasden slammed down on the table, the chalk on the table jumping and rolling around.

Renault leaned over and stared at it for a moment. "Is this the equation? Are you listing the shelf life, weight, and volume of different things?"

"yes. Turasden sighed, "I went to the paladins and asked them where they had the last accident, and found that it was far from the village and other fortresses. In other words, we need to solve all the problems of eating, drinking and lodging by ourselves to the greatest extent. But there is a limit to our burden, and it is impossible to carry it all on our backs, right?"

Renaud nodded, looking again at what Bane had listed on the blackboard. Hard bread, cottage cheese, jerky, dried pickles...... "These are all hard dishes!

"Well, there are springs and rivers in the Sunset Mountains, so water isn't a big problem. If it's somewhere else, add water as well. The water is heavy, and that will be more difficult. ”

"I kind of understand how you calculated in the past, it's ...... Raw. Renault shook his head: "You forgot three important parameters and didn't organize the data correctly. ”

"What does that mean?" Turasden's eyes widened, and his ears pricked up.

"The first is weighting. Different things should have different importances in addition to weight, volume, and shelf life. Clothing, food, water, medicine, and weapons have different effects on survival and mission completion, and you should take them into account. ”

"Then there's co-ordination. I think you want to simply increase the amount of use, but in practice, what is more important is how to arrange the order in which items are used. You seem to have simply and naturally followed the basic principles: use what is perishable early, bring it less. But in fact, there is still a huge potential to be tapped. Reasonable arrangement of pasta and meat makes more sense than simply eating less. ”

"In the end, it's the biggest and the most economical. This number on your blackboard is a weight, isn't it? It's too small. We have just left the fortress, this time is not dangerous, we don't need to calculate according to the average economic volume of combat adventure, we should be treated as donkeys and horses! We can hide some supplies with long shelf life in some safe places on the road, this is called preloading, and then we can release the weight and enter the battle state lightly. In this way, the supply distance is shortened, that is, the difficulty of supply is reduced. ”

After Renault's words, Trasden's open-mouthed face was completely stiff, and his two round eyes focused helplessly on the void. "This ...... It's so complicated that no one knows how to calculate it, and no one can figure it out. ”

"Not really. An exact and general dynamic matrix is not an option, but an approximate optimal solution for the current situation is not. Alas, if I had a Tai Electric...... Forget it, don't talk nonsense, let's hurry up. Can you help me mark the weights...... Oh, just tell me about the importance of everything. ”

"How does this become a number?"

"It's just a score from one to ten. Start by finding something you're bound to bring, such as jerky. Then roughly show the relationship between each thing and it, and then you don't have to worry about the rest of the calculations, I'll do it. Oh, it would be nice if there was a map, can you get me one?"

"Yes, of course you can!" Turasden licked his lips, "Renault, these ...... Can you teach me?"

"No problem, it's just some data organization and algorithms, and it's no different from when I used to do optimization. Renault picked up two pieces of chalk and handed one to Trasden: "Come, let's hurry up and get started!"

Trasden took the chalk and nodded vigorously. He was the youngest member of the Icepeak Fortress, and he was chubby, not because of his lack of training, but because he was too interested in managing the warehouse and kitchen. As the youngest child, I usually only listen to other people's arrangements. But being able to get apples, ales, flour, and bacon to do his bidding, made him feel like he had some kind of "power."

It turned out that this job was for the white-robed watchman, but he was older, so everyone was happy to want Rathden to take this job over. In case he doesn't make it to a good Eagle School monster hunter, but with the ability to manage the fortress's storage, he can still live well.

Trasden himself vaguely understands this truth, so he is very attentive to his work and never lazy. Therefore, Renault was there to explain and calculate, and he listened carefully and tried to understand. Even if you can't grasp it right away, it's useful to remember it as much as possible. The more he listened, the more he didn't understand, but he also admired it more and more. Turasden thought to himself, this nobleman is really powerful, he understands such complex knowledge, no wonder it is the nobleman who leads the army to action!

However, when Turasden looked at Renault's expression, he noticed a problem. Renault, immersed in numbers and algorithms, has blood-red eyes. It is like a solid flame burning deep in the pupils, emitting a breathtaking light. A faint black dust mist curled from his nostrils, making him look like a monster from hell.

"Renault?"

Renault looked up, and all the out-of-phase disappeared in an instant. "What's the matter? I don't understand? It's okay, I'm short of time today, I'll calculate it first, and then I'll slowly explain the truth to you in detail. ”。

"So...... How did you learn such a complicated thing? I've never seen these symbols you use. I don't mean anything else, I'm just saying that at least there's no such thing in the books on calculations in the library. ”

"Wouldn't it be sad if we didn't do better than the people who came before us? Renault noticed no difference and continued to do the job at hand. Only this time, when he used his brain with all his might, he didn't show the characteristics of the devil again.
