68. People Shouldn't Be Worthless (Free)

"All theories are gray, only the tree of life is evergreen. Life is not a collection of principles, but a realm composed of the results of practice and action."

——"Faust"

...

Have you ever heard of the term “casualty accident rate indicator”?

Compared with other common ground projects, tunnel engineering has the highest "casualty accident rate index".

For example, assume that the number of workers in a tunnel project is 200, the mortality rate is 0.51%, the serious injury rate is 1%, and the minor injury rate is 10%.

So in the entire process of this tunnel project, 1 person died, 2 people were seriously injured, and 20 people were slightly injured. This is a numerical red line for the decision-making group and responsible legal persons responsible for the entire project.

No, the boss understands you.

If you exceed the limit, your superiors will hold you accountable.

The "casualty accident rate indicator" objectively clarifies the reasonable upper limit of the expected "cost" in the production activities of a certain industry through scientific data statistics.

In the era of rule of law, rights and responsibilities are roughly matched. When decision-makers have rights, they assume responsibilities.

In ancient times when laws were scarce, there was no strong correlation between rights and responsibilities. As long as the decision-makers mastered the machine of violence, rights could far outweigh responsibilities, and 'moral conscience' became the "last restraint" in the classical sense.

.

Obviously, in a humanistic environment with a fantasy medieval background, the devil does not need to take responsibility for any of his decisions, because there is no law or law that can hold him accountable.

"You, and you, raise your shield and stand in this position."

On the grass, Li Jia Shu pointed at two Sleif workers and asked them to raise shields made of tanned cowhide and stand 0.7 meters apart from each other.

"Well, then you three, stand in this position, remember what I said?" The devil turned around and greeted three civilians who were carrying large backpacks, carrying unlit torches in their left hands, and alchemy glow sticks in their right hands.

The three civilians nodded quickly, "I know, I know, sir, you just said that if the torch goes out, throw it to the ground immediately, and then bend the magic wand in your right hand."

After a whole night's rest, everyone regained their energy, and in the early morning of the next day, they were officially ready to enter the unknown underground ruins of the heresy.

The devil directs the formation of the team.

Regarding this underground ruins, Li Jiasu and Arcadio had very limited information - cockroaches, Guang... a huge cockroach as tall as a person, once ran out of the hole in the cave and was frozen by a noble young man.

Turned into a trophy - the only thing the devil can confirm is that the creation of this underground ruins also originated from the Xagai monster.

Do you still remember the underground tunnel in Linzhong Lake (in Volume 1)?

Li Jia Shu's intuition told him that the tunnel with a hole in the top floor was a small section of a huge underground transportation system.

Since the Xagai monsters that crash-landed here hundreds of years ago were able to build a city in the large cavity deep underground on the island, they are obviously also capable of building an underground transportation system and in other areas shallower underground on the island.

Create multiple independent facilities.

The moment he saw the giant cockroach frozen in the ice, the devil's first reaction was: "Biotechnology?"

To be honest, if the giant cockroach is really the product of alien biotechnology, it will further confirm the authenticity of the "Five White Geese" anecdotes passed down by the island residents from their ancestors.

Of course, if you can't get it, it's all empty talk.

"Arcatio, do you and the guards want to be in the middle or at the end of the line? Or do you have other plans?" the devil asked the noble young man.

Arcadio exchanged a few words with the Binsi brothers, and then replied: "I am in the middle of the line, and Binsi and his brother are at the end of the line."

Li Jiasu nodded slightly, "No problem, but you are really confident."

"Aren't you worried about an accident if you are separated from the guards?"

"First ensure the retreat." The noble young man shrugged, "Since there are slave soldiers taking the lead, it is obviously more reasonable for me to let the guard brothers with higher combat levels and more experience ensure the safety of the rear of the team."

"After all, if I encounter any huge danger, I will immediately choose to retreat."

Well, the subtext is:

When retreating, the team switches from head to tail. The two guard brothers only need to ensure that the noble master can run at the front, while the other civilians and slaves follow behind.

The devil said "hmm" and then arranged the positions of the people.

There are a total of 13 people in this team: 5 strong Mrs. Slay, 5 civilian helpers who signed a life and death contract, 2 warrior guards, 1 nobleman, and 1 devil.

The final formation, three four five two:

The devil and two Slay ladies holding shields stood in the front row.

Three civilians carrying large backpacks, a torch in one hand and an alchemy glow stick in the other, stood in the second row with Arcadio - of course, the noble young man walked behind the civilians.

As for the other three Mrs. Slay, they pushed several two-wheeled carts with two other civilians and stood in the third row.

Yes, a two-wheeled trolley, a small trolley for carrying supplies.

Although the painting style is not beautiful and even full of rustic feeling, it is practical.

Supplies and equipment that are not suitable for carrying on the back, such as shovels, devil's hand jacks, tubes of black powder, etc., are carried on the cart and kept by the personnel in the third row.

The guards Binxi and his brother were in the fourth row, with scimitars on their waists and crossbows on their backs, carrying adventurers' equipment on their backs, and guarding the rear.

"Okay, everyone cheer up!"

The devil patted the shoulders of the two Sleif workers holding shields on the left and right sides. The eyes under the brass mask were solemn and he stared at the faces of these two people for a few seconds.

Then, he looked at the other three Mrs. Slay and the five civilian helpers, trying his best to remember their faces.

A perfect Asher should be like a typical devil, a maintainer of order who is purely rational, good at calculation, and not influenced by emotion in making decisions.

(Again, demons and devils are two different races. The former is naturally inclined to chaos, and the latter is naturally inclined to order)

It's a pity that Li Jiasu is neither a perfect duster nor a typical devil. He is not pure yet and has too much unnecessary sentimentality left.

In my previous life on Terra Blue Star, in the ancient culture of my home country, there were three different pronouns used to describe people who achieved great things:

Hero, traitor, tycoon.

Obviously, these three pronouns describe individuals, not groups.

The collective has the collective blame, and the individual has his own personal blame. The collective blame cannot be left to the individual, and the individual blame cannot be left to the collective.

Li Jia Shu knew very well that his decision - organizing an adventure team to explore underground ruins and arranging the formation of the team - who would bear the risk and who would benefit could be listed line by line in the 'ledger'

Calculate clearly.

Yes, it must be calculated clearly.

Everyone hates the trolley problem, but when the trolley problem really hits their face, the decision-maker standing next to the lever must make his own choice.

Human life should not be calculated based on pure profit and loss, but pure idealists all die early.

Seeking truth from facts is the most important methodology that Li Jia Shu learned in his previous life.

The methodology of "seeking truth from facts" tells myself that if the perfect triangle of "both wanting and wanting more" cannot be achieved, then the subject must be preserved, the main contradiction must be grasped, and the secondary contradictions must be given up.

"...Follow me, let's go!" The devil turned around and stepped into the gap of the cave first.

The others maintained their formation and followed closely behind.

The devil knows very well that he calculates human life based on profit and loss, balancing the expected 'overall gain' and 'overall loss'. This is an extremely rational choice.

As for emotional pain? That was his own private matter.

As the saying goes,

Pure idealists all die young,

But there are always some less pure idealists, walking their own path between the gap between 'seeking truth from facts' and 'ideal'.
