862 Mathematics is Power
The bell rang for class, and the students in the classroom who had gathered to discuss last night's game quickly returned to their seats.
This is a math class, and everyone is already very scared of Babbage, the dragon professor, and many people are even more scared after seeing the five dragons ride their faces and crash down a castle last night.
In the game, the resources required to recruit the dragon are extremely high, and last night, except for Charles, only a few people smashed the pot and sold iron in the late stage to recruit a dragon to come out to help.
Just now, the students got together to discuss how the Earl of Maccaden managed to accumulate so many resources in a short period of time.
The game is videotaped, and many people have come to watch it quickly.
But no one could understand it, they only knew that the Earl of McCaden had invested a lot of resources in the construction and personnel of the resource acquisition class at the beginning, but they couldn't figure out why the soldiers and weapons kept popping up later.
But now is not the time to discuss this issue, and classes are about to begin, so everyone sit down obediently.
Babbage looked around the students in the classroom, then his eyes stayed on Hayden, and he said in a playful tone, "Congratulations to Hayden in our class, he was the first to win last night's game. ”
Hayden scratched his head in embarrassment, the victory came from the death of his opponent.
He also competed in real-time strategy and was on the ground last night when he was nervously figuring out how to recruit when he was prompted that his opponent was disqualified and he was victorious.
Later, the organizer issued a system announcement, and everyone learned that Hayden's opponent killed himself, he recruited an elf female soldier, and then touched the female soldier's buttocks and thighs......
Babbage continued: "A lot of people must have watched McCaden yesterday. ”
The students nodded in unison, and many of them actually watched the scene of the last five dragons riding their faces.
"A lot of people don't know, and it's hard to understand how McCaden won, and they can't do anything if they are asked to copy their homework," the professor added. ”
"Today I'm going to tell you the secret of his victory. ”
Everyone was immediately interested, immediately straightened their waists and sat down, and opened their notebooks to record them.
Babbage pondered for a moment, saw that the students' appetites were aroused, and solemnly said: "The secret of McGardenen's victory lies in mathematics." ”
At this moment, the students in the classroom suddenly made a commotion.
"Huh?"
"No, it won't!"
"Professor, you're a liar, aren't you?"
Although students dare not die in class, they still dare to question when they feel that there is something wrong with the professor.
They want to hear the secrets of victory, not listen to the professor's boasting in class.
Babbage ignored the students' skepticism, and it is no wonder that human beings are lacking in some subjects and do not understand that mathematics plays a huge role in the day-to-day management of the military, politics, business, etc.
Instead of explaining directly, he began to answer questions by name.
"Hayden. He nodded to the first student, "Do you think I'm right?"
Hayden stood up and thought for a moment, then said, "At first I thought you were joking, but when I think about it, I think you have a point, but I don't know where it is. ”
Professor Babbage only nodded politely at his nonsense, sat him down, and then lit up Agatha.
Agatha replied, "I guess the essence of this game is a game of numbers." ”
Babbage's classroom let out a "hmm" and ordered several students one after another, but they were all talking empty words, and it was Charles who was finally called.
"Medivan. "Tell me what you think. ”
Charles stood up speechlessly, he thought for a moment and said, "Professor, you're right. ”
And then it's gone.
The professor knew he was playing with words, so he said, "Then tell me what you think about it." ”
Charles could only say: "I watched the video twice, and the Earl of Maccaden is not a genius. ”
And then it was gone.
Professor Babbage was speechless and asked him to sit down.
The professor controlled the chalk to float up and drew a few irregularly placed circles on the blackboard, wrote a few numbers next to the circles, and said, "Agatha was right just now, the essence of this game is a game of numbers. ”
After the whip floated up, he tapped the circles drawn on the blackboard a few times, and the professor continued, "These circles are the distribution of resource points in a mining area south of the castle, and the number is the maximum number of people that can be accommodated in resource points. ”
"The ore excavated by the miners from the resource point can be stored in the mine warehouse or transported directly to the processing plant. ”
As he spoke, he wrote down the miners' mining speed, the weight of the ore they could carry at one time, the walking speed of their hands and loads, the distance between each other, and the location of the castle.
He continued: "Now you can calculate how to invest the least amount of material to recruit miners, set up warehouses and arrange convoys to maximize the efficiency of mining." ”
Many of the students were stunned, and they felt at a loss as to what to do.
Some of them were puzzled for a while and then suddenly realized that they began to write and draw on the manuscript paper.
Watching more and more students start to calculate, Professor Babbage tells the story: "I met McCaden a few years ago, and he is a real genius in some areas. ”
"At a young age, he has a high attainment in overall planning, and the network diagram he proposed has played a great role in project management and decision-making. ”
In this game, he calculated the optimal solution for resource collection and consumption, and then obtained a large amount of resources in a very short time. ”
"If you look at the entire construction of his base, you will find that these mines are just a leaf on a tree, and it is the large number of leaves that make up a terrifying and incomprehensible tree. ”
In general, his approach is to use mathematical methods to analyze and rationally allocate various limited resources, so as to achieve the maximum economic benefits with a certain amount of resource consumption. ”
Charles, who was pretending to calculate, was a little surprised in his heart, and he sighed that a master is a master, and he immediately saw the key to the whole problem.
To put it simply, he used the most simplified version of the planned economy model to solve the production problem.
In order to deal with the massive calculations, he copied a total of more than 50 "himself" in the end, and in the past few days he worked tirelessly to collect, calculate, analyze and make decisions, and then start again after discovering problems and adjusting and discovering new resource points, and so on for four days before he came up with a rough mathematical model.
It's also a good thing that the opponent is weak, otherwise he wouldn't have enough time for this tedious work.
He wasn't afraid of Babbage telling him about it, some things sound simple, but when he actually gets started, he finds that it's no less difficult than swimming to another continent.
Charles barely mastered this knowledge when he studied the courses of the Royal Military Academy of the Kingdom of Rurik and St. Philip Polytechnic University in the dream platform, his talent is actually limited, and if he doesn't understand mathematics, he won't understand it, otherwise he would have been admitted to 985 in his previous life, and only he knows the hardships he endured in the process of learning this knowledge.
Now he is taking this opportunity to put his studies to good use, and the results are good.
