"Ask yourself honestly, if you’re only bringing a group of able-bodied young people for construction, do you need you Inspectors?"
"What I want to see is your confidence and courage to choose these families, using your abilities to compensate for the disadvantage in labor. Whoever has the capability, the second batch of tasks will be assigned to them. If you’re scared now, that’s fine too, just submit an application to withdraw from the competition and you can leave!"
The powerful words fell, and the audience remained silent.
Everyone continued to calculate in their minds:
A couple without children, with the woman’s labor calculated at 0.7, compared to two able-bodied young individuals, has a gap of 15%, but can receive 50% extra points.
A family with two children, total labor is 2.4, compared to four able-bodied youths, labor gap is 40%, but can return 150% in points.
A family of seven with three children and two elders, total labor is 3.8, compared to seven able-bodied youths, labor gap is 45%, but can return 300% in points.
Once the data is laid out, choosing a couple without children offers far better cost-effectiveness than selecting able-bodied youths.
If you want to take a risk, choosing a family with children and elders, labor is only 5% less, yet can double the points.
However, can reality really match the numbers computed?
The difficulty in managing five hundred able-bodied young individuals versus managing seventy families isn’t even on the sa level.
These families that still maintain three generations under one roof today are either extrely risk-resistant or a group full of autonomy.
Leading them slowly in construction might be okay, but the key is, this assessnt is about competition among the groups.
What if faced with heavy labor tasks or dangerous work, these families refuse to execute?
Many real-world issues are presented, even Cheng Ye can’t help but seriously reflect.
Determining personnel allocation without knowing what the points can purchase is indeed a dilemma.
But as Ding Yishan said, he wishes to see the Inspectors have confidence and courage to choose these families.
If beforehand it was known what could be exchanged for points, everyone’s choice would turn into pure profit consideration, which goes against the original intention of constructing Satellite City and evaluating Inspectors.
"Brother Cheng, how should we choose?"
Seeing other groups of Inspectors starting discussions, Wang Kang also turned his head and asked.
"Let’s not rush to decide, we have to go out and see those who voluntarily participate in the assessnt, understand their qualities before making a decision."
Cheng Ye said with his mouth, but his fingers flipped open the information in front of him, eyes once again falling on the content of the first page.
Among the four elents of core trics, aside from the fourth entry not requiring materials, whether it’s residence, lookout posts, or supply points, all need a certain amount of materials to satisfy the consumption.
The bottom of the data is specially marked, indicating that the assessnt will provide initial points for exchanging materials.
It seems to tell everyone that initial points can be exchanged for materials to complete the goal, but actually hides a big pit.
How many points are enough?
Could it be that by choosing more than a certain number of able-bodied young individuals, the score becos insufficient to purchase basic materials, leading to direct elimination?
Additionally, in the scoring criteria, practicality, efficiency, and innovation together account for 80% of the weight, and all these require sufficient materials to achieve high scores.
A clever woman cannot cook without rice; without materials, even the most delicate construction plan can’t catch up with opponents abundant in resources.
Conversely, if for points one blindly exchanges for materials resulting in insufficient labor, not to ntion completing assessnt tasks, even constructing temporary residences, lookout posts, and supply points could beco a problem.
Therefore, the difficulty in selecting personnel is not only in studying the population ratio but also in the vision of selection.
A reasonable population ratio may compensate for shortcomings in vision and experience.
Conversely, if the vision is sharp enough, ans are sufficiently convincing, even if the ratio is extrely extre, the final score can be guaranteed.
The so-called optimal solution really tests the Inspector’s personal ability, and there isn’t a fixed answer.
"Is anyone withdrawing?"
Ding Yishan asked again, seeing no one raise their hand, he waved his hand.
"Alright, you have the last half hour for contemplation. At two-thirty, depart promptly!"
"Each group has four hours for personnel selection, after which there are four hours to determine the materials exchanged with points."
"Tomorrow morning at seven, selected personnel will be escorted by the corps, taking the bus to reach Satellite City."
"Materials will be delivered in advance to designated locations in the morning, ensuring people and materials arrive together!"
