Dimensional Expedition

Chapter 52: 52. Preliminary planning

Views:

After all, the old housekeepers could not imagine what Nancy said, including Nancy's fear, shock, and expectations for the future.

The old butler couldn't understand it. He was always worried that those soldiers who possessed powerful magic would throw him and Nancy into the mine to mine.

Nancy continued to familiarize herself with the usage of some items in the storage box, but after struggling for a long time, she finally figured out the usage of only a soap and a towel.

Towels, which look like a layer of animal skin, can be used to absorb water. After absorbing the water, if you put it in the sun for a period of time, it will return to its original state.

Nancy still didn't understand what material this towel was made of. It felt like the hair of some wild animal, but not quite.

After Nancy, two more families came to the Seventh Battalion, all of them were ordinary civilians.

Nancy waited in the camp for a while, and she was greeted by a young man who understood their language. The young man did not look like a soldier from this country.

After demonstrating verbally how to use the daily necessities in the storage box, the young man told them where dinner was and left, saying that he had something important to notify them about.

"Nancy, there's no wall built around here yet. The forest on the west side is the best option to leave here."

At this time, the old butler walked into the tent again and said to Nancy.

He spent this time scouting around the camp.

"The security around the camp where we live is very loose. If you want to leave, you can leave at night." said the old butler.

"They have no intention of stopping us from leaving, so there is no need to set up any defenses."

When Nancy heard the old housekeeper's words, she subconsciously rubbed the ends of her hair by her ears. From the beginning, her old housekeeper had been urging her to leave here and embark on the journey back to the Kingdom of Xiu Enzhe.

She could also understand the old housekeeper's thoughts.

Ever since the blood crystal beast disaster broke out in Scarre, she and the old housekeeper have been trapped in Scarre King City for almost a year. During this year, Nancy has missed her hometown and her loved ones very much.

But Nancy knew that staying here might allow her to learn knowledge that would bring great changes to her hometown!

"Nancy, we've waited too long."

"Father, if you want to go back, you can do so by yourself. I have to stay here. At least I have to figure out how far we are from them."

Nancy's tone was firm, her deep blue pupils stared at the old butler, who sat down on the bed helplessly.

"If you don't go back, I won't be able to go back to my country. But they are going to assign us a task tonight. With your status, how can you work with those civilians?"

The old butler still did not relax his vigilance against the soldiers, especially when he heard them say that there was something important to notify.

"We are not in the Kingdom of Xiuenzhelai now, so our identities are useless." Nancy said.

… …

At the contact headquarters, Lu Cheng sat at the long table and drank green tea silently.

Fourteen old men in white coats were sitting on both sides of the long table, discussing the plan for the future of the camp.

Lu Cheng didn't want to interfere in this matter. Human brainpower is limited... It is better to leave the camp construction to professionals.

The group of people in front of Lu Cheng are undoubtedly professionals.

They are all top experts from various fields. If they were rated using the rarity in the game, they would be SSR-level characters. Their abilities in various fields are S-level, and some can even reach A-level in other fields.

At this time, Lu Cheng just needed to listen to them discuss and come up with a result.

The discussion died down after half an hour.

"Regarding tonight's swearing-in ceremony, it's not... a mobilization ceremony. It's still necessary to arrange jobs for those refugees."

An old professor wearing glasses and with the name Lu Zhengxian written on his nameplate spoke to Lu Cheng first.

"Then what?"

Lu Cheng put down his teacup, picked up a pen and notebook and began to remember the relevant content.

"Captain Lu, you mentioned that the energy on the back of your hand needs to collect the happiness of the residents of the country of Skare, but feeding them unconditionally will not make them feel happy." The old professor glanced at the outline written on the notebook in front of him and said, "Once they develop a conditioned reflex and think that they deserve food, their happiness will drop rapidly."

"I thought about that, but I don't think all the refugees are that hardworking."

Lu Cheng clearly understood that no matter which world it was, there would always be lazy people who hoped to get something for nothing.

"We can take advantage of crowd psychology," said the professor.

"You mean... setting up role models?" Lu Cheng tentatively said a very common method.

"Giving them a sense of honor is just one way, but the most effective way to drive a person to act is to make them feel ashamed." Another researcher also came forward to explain to Lu Cheng.

“This only works in a group, right?”

Lu Cheng probably understood what the other party meant, but Lu Cheng didn't think that the refugees would have any sense of collective honor. They might just be hoping to have enough to eat.

"Refugees are a small group, each camp, each family, but incentive programs must also exist. For example, participating workers can get more rewards, such as food and daily necessities, and rewards can be distributed in the form of food stamps." The professor continued.

Lu Cheng listened quietly at the side, and during this time the things recorded in his notebook became more and more.

From the initial refugee arrangements and management plans to the later construction of the camp and the exploration of this world... a large part of it does not require Lu Cheng to step in.

However, considering the reason why Lucheng was able to conclude a contract called "alliance" with Skarre, Lucheng still needs to be responsible for foreign diplomacy.

The final result of the discussion was naturally to let the refugees farm.

The season in Scarre has entered winter. There are not many crops that can grow in winter in this world, but the rabbits who started out as farmers have a magical tool called greenhouse planting that they can use.

This is also based on the consideration of the plant ecology research of this world. It is expected that some vegetables from the earth and plants from this world will be planted in the greenhouse.

When the initial plan was discussed, it was dinner time and the researchers present had already stood up and left.

"Captain Lu, I can teach this common language to the soldiers and other researchers in the camp in the afternoon, but there is also some free time in the afternoon so maybe we can run a school specifically for the refugees."

Professor Lin stayed and told Lu Cheng his thoughts.

"This doesn't require many resources. If you have time, Professor Lin, that's no problem," Lu Cheng said.
