Doctor, I'm really strong!

Unfortunately, you have to admit that age does affect learning efficiency. Your brain may think it's okay, but your body may say it's not. Furthermore, physical health during adolescence can significantly impact brain development.

Why do people in less developed areas appear less intelligent than those in more developed areas?

It's actually a very simple material problem. If nutrition is inadequate, the brain can only operate at a low energy level for a long time. It's like asking you to build a skyscraper with materials that can only build a toilet. Can the final product be pleasing to the eye?

You think people in underdeveloped parts of Africa are ignorant and dull? If you grew up in that environment, you would be the same. Have you forgotten that we are all proletarians after only a few years of having enough to eat?

We are all human beings, and we haven't evolved to the exaggerated level of ordinary people or superhumans.

It has been proven that the environment in which a person grows up has an almost absolute impact on them. Those who can break through this constraint either go down in history or appear on the news, and are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people like us.

Liu Jiuli is now giving these workers a chance, a chance to grow again, and at the same time selecting outstanding key personnel from among them to lay the foundation for the future.

Whether it's Rhodes Island's dream or Kosicheal's expectations, it's all in vain if there aren't enough people.

This is how Future Technology's employee training program is structured.

The first three months were for literacy education, learning Chinese and simplified characters from scratch. This was the official script of Yan State, and Liu Jiuli was very happy that there were no reading or language barriers. At least he was not creating the script out of thin air, and he did not have to worry about the local language connection problem when developing in Longmen.

There is no ranking for learning, but employees who can complete the basic skills training ahead of schedule will receive a bonus of 500 Lungmen Coins if they complete it one week in advance, 1,000 Lungmen Coins if they complete it half a month in advance, and 2,000 Lungmen Coins if they complete it one month in advance. If you do not need to complete the basic skills training, you will receive a bonus of 2,000 Lungmen Coins as an onboarding bonus and can go to receive other skills training.

Next came the primary school education stage of compulsory education. Liu Jiuli took out his primary school knowledge from back then and started with memorizing multiplication tables, also using rewards to stimulate learning.

The curriculum includes five subjects: Mathematics, Physics, Chinese, History, and Politics. Each subject is worth 100 points, with a passing score of 80. Students who score 85 or above will receive a cash reward of 500 Dragon Coins, and those who score 90 or above will receive 1,000 Dragon Coins. If a student fails any subject, they will not receive the reward and will be only allowed to eat at the tutoring cafeteria until the next exam.

The tutoring cafeteria is a place that everyone hates, because all three meals there are just thin porridge and pickled vegetables, plus the disdainful looks from the cafeteria ladies who are disappointed in you.

Moreover, the cafeteria is surrounded by large glass windows, allowing people outside to see clearly inside, which is incredibly embarrassing. Anyone who has ever eaten in the cafeteria would never want to deal with thin porridge and cabbage every day, not to mention being looked down upon. Even if it's just for their own stomach, they have to study like crazy.

In response to this situation, the punishments for employees who make mistakes are also quite interesting.

It involved tying someone up and putting them in the cafeteria, starving them for a day, and then having several people who ate with great relish eat in front of them. For the next week, while others ate, the person watched, and when it was their turn to eat, they only received plain rice porridge with pickled vegetables; meat was out of the question. This punishment was immediately effective; all employees learned to obey the rules in a very short time, and after completing the literacy training, they could all recite the contents of the employee handbook.

See? Only when you're pushed to the limit will you discover the enormous potential of humankind.

The same applies to learning. Liu Jiuli's system is based on grades, not rankings. Each person has only one challenge: themselves. Reaching the standard brings rewards, while failing to do so results in punishment. Furthermore, all students are in the same learning environment, with regular washing, rest, study, and training schedules. Therefore, the most one can achieve intensified competition is to study by themselves at night under a desk lamp. There is no need to outcompete others; meeting one's own standard is considered a victory.

In this way, the degree of involution is limited. As for the money spent, it is nothing compared to the talent cultivated. Education should never be neglected, no matter how poor we are. It benefits the present and future generations.

The only problem is that there aren't enough teachers.

"Teacher, we need a teacher now!"

Talulah said anxiously in Liu Jiuli's office that she was currently overwhelmed with work.

No wonder that bastard Black Snake returned the body to me; it seems he knew things would turn out this way, so he lurked in the shadows, dumping everything on me. Old Silver Coin, you really are a weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken—you're up to no good!

Liu Jiuli said with a troubled expression, "I really can't do anything about this."

Supplies and funds are plentiful, but the only problem is talent. Liu Jiuli stated that he doesn't have the ability to conjure up millions of monkeys from a single hair; he simply doesn't have it. So why don't you go recruit teachers?

Liu Jiuli knew this was a simple matter, and he had tried it himself. The offer was quite good, but as soon as the applicant heard that he had to teach infected people, he left without saying a word, which made Liu Jiuli so angry that he wanted to pull out his gun and shoot the applicant.

There's nothing we can do; this is deeply ingrained discrimination that can't be changed in a short time.

Talulah was getting impatient: "What am I supposed to do all by myself? I'm leading over a thousand students!"

"What the hell! Then learn it yourselves!" Liu Jiuli slammed his fist on the table and stood up, roaring, "Go learn! Those who learn first will train those who enroll later, large classes leading small classes, to achieve common literacy. I'll take care of their salaries and benefits, according to the standards of those applying for teachers. If they don't have those petty-bourgeois capitalist teachers, they'll be damned if they don't work!"

And so, the vigorous study movement began. In order to ensure the quantity and quality of the teaching staff, Liu Jiuli simply sent all the literate cadres within the integration movement to become teachers.

Patriot, the PE teacher. Talulah, the math teacher. Bonecrusher, the physics teacher. Kingslayer, the language arts teacher.

Arknights trivia: Both Bonebreaker and Kingslayer received a good education from a young age, but they just turned out badly.

Mephistopheles and Faust...you two, get back to school!

Especially Mephistopheles, if you fail the exam, see how I deal with you. Others use the 53 mock exam, but you're starting with the Huanggang exam paper. If you dare to protest, I'll send you to experience the senior year of high school in China. I'll make sure you're not left to your own devices.

No one expected that Liu Jiuli would turn the Red Guards into a super-sized school where everyone was studying. Even when people were out shopping, there were simplified Chinese characters with pinyin annotations on the walls and bulletin boards.

In particular, the emergence of Pinyin has played a crucial role in the popularization of Mandarin and the operation of simplified Chinese characters. This is especially true in the information age. When you type on your keyboard, remember to thank Pinyin.

Oh, right, there are also potential suitors.

"Ahem, Sister Ling, could you do me a favor?"

"That's rare. What brings you here, sister?"

“I heard that our second brother is very good at creating clones, and can cut himself into 108 parts. He must be a literate intellectual. Could we have all 108 clones come and teach the students? Also, do you know how to create clones? Could you teach me?”

make:"……"

Section 46: Either be a good person or be a dead person

Ling was impressed by Liu Jiuli's imagination and said that this really didn't exist.

Liu Jiuli was very disappointed by this, but fortunately, the current manpower was barely enough. As long as he didn't lose heart, there were always more solutions than problems.

While Lungmen was undergoing various reforms, Chernobog was also carrying out various reforms simultaneously. The factory area was producing a large amount of various raw materials every day, from infrastructure to organic soil. It seemed that the Red Guards never had to worry about costs. As long as you were willing to work, life would gradually get better.

But such a life is not without its price; in the words of the regicide, "I feel like I'm in school."

Today, just like Chernobog, Lungmen District 6 is filled with a learning atmosphere, with slogans and signs everywhere.

"Study until you drop, or you'll die."

"Strive your whole life, and you'll have a wonderful life without regrets."

"Learning changes destiny; illiteracy succumbs to fate."

"What are you looking at? Go read your book!"

"If you don't study today, you'll regret it in the future."

"The people you like have all started studying. Do you want to be a bachelor for the rest of your life?"

Liu Jiuli, with the same seriousness as preparing for the college entrance examination, sketched out his ideal picture. Or rather, watching others study "Five Years of College Entrance Examination and Three Years of Simulation" every day was a very happy thing. He believed that in the near future, advanced mathematics would be on his agenda.

Then we can see a lot of people hanging on the big tree called Advanced Mathematics.

This is all for your own good. Study! Study! Study!

The most basic primary education is to enable ordinary people to read and write and have the ability to understand the world. The subsequent vocational education is to enable them to find a job to make a living and become a valuable person. The final extension is their own business.

Schools and teachers can't be with you forever. The most valuable gift they give you isn't how many points you get on tests, but rather making you realize the importance of learning and helping you find your own path.

Putting all that aside, the future of large-scale industry will also require a lot of skilled workers, so Yueying did some calculations for Liu Jiuli.

If he wanted to build a nation on the continent of Terra with an industrial level equivalent to that of China, he wouldn't even dare to dream of it without at least 50 million industrial workers.

This is how you create a good life.

Moon Shadow: "You're really persistent."

Liu Jiuli: "When I used to work overtime, I always thought about what I would do if I became a boss. Now that the opportunity has come, and it's a business with no capital investment, I feel uncomfortable if I don't do something."

Even Patriots are now expressing their approval of Liu Jiuli's Future Technology Company.

Because during the training phase, Liu Jiuli managed the employees entirely according to military training standards, starting with standing at attention, marching in formation, and tidying up their personal belongings.

This may seem insignificant, but this stage is essential. The purpose of this is to emphasize discipline. From this moment on, the gap between ordinary people and regular soldiers gradually becomes apparent. After entering the factory, they are also subject to quasi-military management, which is equivalent to cultivating a group of soldiers who can go to the battlefield at any time.

Patriots with military backgrounds naturally love this kind of environment.

However, this approach is not cheap. High physical exertion means higher food consumption. In ancient times, the strength of an army could be judged by its diet. Strong soldiers ate meat during training, while ordinary soldiers were lucky to get coarse grains.

Modern armies need a balanced diet, but isn't it a bit excessive for cooks in the field to make braised pork and caramelize sugar?

Liu Jiuli also coveted such an army, but the problem was that no one could actually do it now. Perhaps they could in the future, but for now, they should proceed step by step. You can't get fat in one bite.

With fish, meat, and clean water, this is heaven!

Even if Liu Jiuli's training is scientific, reasonable, and humane, he could still cultivate a bunch of suicide soldiers from among the infected, even if he reduced the cost tenfold and only provided enough food.

It sounds good, but isn't it also a kind of tragedy?

"Our emphasis on discipline is to cultivate and train them, to make them live like human beings, so that they have the ability and time to think about what they should do."

At the meeting, Liu Jiuli repeatedly emphasized this point.

Good treatment must be accompanied by good results, otherwise it becomes a waste of resources. Liu Jiuli absolutely cannot tolerate this kind of high welfare system that supports useless people, like in Europe and America. Of course you can enjoy a better life, provided that your labor can create more value. Don't give yourself opportunities and then fail to live up to them.

Weakness does not equate to kindness. These people who struggle to survive from the bottom have definitely given up something, especially humanity and morality. To retrain and organize them, they must be forged like iron in a smelting furnace.

There have been cases of people stealing from the staff dormitory before. After catching the culprit, we asked him why he did it. Were they not getting enough to eat at the company or not earning enough money?

After stammering for a while, the thief finally managed to squeeze out, "I'm used to it."

It's just a habit, a sad habit, a helpless habit, and habits have inertia.

These are the areas that need to be changed. Those specialized crafts should be abandoned. We need to show them through our actions that this place is different from the slums of the past. After the meeting, Talulah found Liu Jiuli.

"What are you going to do after they've been trained? Just send them straight to the factory?"

Liu Jiuli asked in surprise, "Yes, is there a problem?"

Talulah was stunned: "You're using the standards you use to train an army to train a bunch of workers!"

Liu Jiuli immediately became displeased: "What, do you think the workers aren't qualified?"

Talulah: "No, it just feels a bit... wasteful."

Liu Jiuli said seriously, "No, not a bit of it will be wasted. When you need them to organize themselves one day, you will find out how powerful they are. The gains and losses now are trivial. What we need to look at is the future."

During this period, Future Technology Company has been investing heavily, but the investments are mostly in materials. Many wages have been converted into canned goods and company shopping vouchers. To this end, Liu Jiuli even opened a company employee supermarket, which is built to the standards of a modern supermarket. It does not accept Lungmen currency, but only shopping vouchers.

As long as the resources here are more abundant than those outside, there will never be any need to worry about wages.

To put it bluntly, the value of money lies in its ability to buy things. If it can't buy anything, it's just worthless paper that's too hard to even wipe your butt with.

The employees had no complaints, because they discovered that the shopping vouchers had much greater purchasing power than outside. A shopping voucher marked at 50 could buy five cans of beef in the employee supermarket, while the equivalent value of Lungmen Dollars outside could only buy two, and that was only if the supermarket had a discount. So, it was only natural that some people would exchange Lungmen Dollars for shopping vouchers, then buy the goods and resell them for profit.

There's no shortage of smart people anywhere; who doesn't want to get rich?

Then the corresponding regulations came out, stipulating that any employee who did such a thing would be kicked out of the company and all illegal gains would be confiscated.

At the same time that this regulatory rule was introduced, Future Technology also introduced new policies.

Family members can come to work at the company. The company can arrange jobs for family members and they can enjoy the company's benefits, including minimum medical insurance (basic drugs for treating Oripathy).

While others see Oripathy as an incurable disease with no value for treatment, Liu Jiuli sees it as the beginning of another economic cycle, promoting progress in related medical fields and improving employee work efficiency.

Anyone with a modicum of safety knowledge knows what working while sick means. Liu Jiuli certainly doesn't want his factory to collect a basket of fingers every day (a characteristic of the British Industrial Revolution, where workers' fingers were severed by machines and counted in baskets).

Many people are curious about where the materials for future technologies will be sourced, since they've never seen any logistics trucks coming.
