Chapter 1060 What to change first?
Chapter 1060 What to change first?
First, increase the average life expectancy to half... just half?!
"Can't it be a little more?"
After flipping through the booklet in his hand, Director Cancer, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help but ask:
"Even if the average life expectancy cannot be pushed to the upper limit, half is too little... How about trying to raise it to two-thirds?"
"Theoretically, there is no problem, but given the current situation in the bureau, the probability of achieving this is close to zero."
After flipping through the mirror world and finding the second set of booklets and distributing them to the directors, Leon, who had been prepared, patiently explained:
"According to the conclusion of the Fourth Research Institute of the Migrant, there are about 27 significant reasons for the low average life expectancy of humans in the world today. The top four are poverty, hunger, war, and large-scale plague.
Then there are various diseases, natural disasters, abnormal events, water and air pollution, high infant mortality rates, etc., and many of these problems do not exist alone. Solving only one or two of them will not help much in improving the overall average life expectancy... Oh, right."
At this point, Leon paused for a moment, then added:
“I have to say that our bureau has done a good job of suppressing abnormal events. The severity of the problems caused by abnormal events can only be ranked eighth here, right between large-scale natural disasters and environmental pollution.
However, this booklet only counts normal situations. Extreme cases like Director Ophiufu who destroyed an entire country at once were basically completely erased by the [Illusion Drum]. The scholars of the Fourth Institute of Mimicry were unable to count them. If these were also counted, then I'm afraid they would have to squeeze into the top three."
"..."
So...are we so incompetent?
After listening to Leon's words, looking at the special mark behind [Abnormal Events] in the booklet, several directors couldn't help but smile bitterly one after another, and couldn't help but start to doubt what they had done in their lives.
Although he could not say that he had made outstanding achievements in his life, he had definitely risked his life for the sake of cleaning up the bureau and even for humanity. As a result, even the most basic and important "job" he did seemed to be only mediocre, and it had even become one of the main reasons for the decline in average life expectancy.
"Okay, no need to say more..."
Leaning back on the chair somewhat feebly, Director Scorpio closed his eyes, tilted his head back and said dejectedly:
"I understand what you mean. We old guys have always thought that we have done a pretty good job, at least worthy of our positions, but in fact..."
"But in fact, you have done a pretty good job. You can even say that you have done an excellent job."
Looking at the directors who looked somewhat depressed, Leon knew that his "medicine" might be a bit too strong. After thinking for a while, he spoke to comfort them:
“When we first established the Cleansing Bureau, our purpose was simply to ensure the survival of humanity. Therefore, the Bureau has always focused on abnormal events and resisting foreign gods. We rarely interfere in other areas. Moreover, we do not have a superior-subordinate relationship with the Twelve Kingdoms, so our influence is naturally limited.
As for the problem of abnormal events, the twelve kingdoms and dozens of city-states, large and small, have a total population of more than one billion, but there are only a few thousand cleaners. Basically, each cleaner is responsible for abnormal events caused by a population of 27. It is impossible to control the situation perfectly.
Compared with the medical problems that are more serious than abnormal events, even in Qianfan Sea Kingdom, which has the worst medical conditions among the Twelve Kingdoms, every 10,000 people can "enjoy" an average of three doctors, which is more than 81 times the number of cleaners per 10,000 people.
If we compare them in this way, the fact that the bureau has been able to control the abnormal events in the entire world to the current level with its limited manpower is already quite good. "So... what are you going to do?"
Hearing this, Director Taurus, who knew Lyon best, had already vaguely figured out his plan, and couldn't help but frown and ask:
"Is it the same as before? Are you going to break the barrier between the real world and the 'abnormal', let the Cleanup Bureau float to the 'surface', risk a large number of ordinary people being infected, and start a large-scale expansion of each branch?"
"In addition to this, we must also make necessary interventions in the situation of the Twelve Kingdoms."
After adding this sentence, Leon looked around at the other silent directors and said sincerely:
"I know that this proposal violates the purpose of the Cleanup Bureau to act in secrecy, interferes with the Twelve Kingdoms, and violates the agreement between the Twelve Kingdoms. But everyone has seen the current situation in the world. We obviously have the ability to change all this, so why not do it?"
"It's not a question of whether to do it or not, but whether it will make the situation worse..."
The virgin director sighed and said:
"It's not like no one in the bureau has proposed similar ideas to yours, and some have tried to influence the governance of the Twelve Royal Families, but the results were not very good in the end...
Although the governance problems of the Twelve Kingdoms are not small, compared with their semi-spontaneously formed ruling system, we are more amateurish in governing the kingdoms. The changes forced by the Bureau after taking over can often only make things worse, and even lead to abnormal incidents at the national level.
The most tragic one was even more serious than the Snake Eclipse. The Lion Branch and the other nine non-zodiac branches were almost depleted of manpower. After several similar lessons, we have the current non-interference model. "
"So my idea is to just 'intervene' rather than completely 'take over'."
Leon, who had also thought about this question, naturally would not speak rashly without a response plan. He responded calmly:
"What we need to do is not to take over the governance of the Twelve Kingdoms without any preparation, but to rely on our advantages to first solve those problems that the Bureau can remedy even if mistakes are made."
"Problems that can be remedied? What do you mean?"
"Hunger, poverty, war, natural disasters, and large-scale plagues."
As Leon spoke, he took out the third set of booklets and handed them out one by one, with a burning look on his face as several directors looked speechless.
"First of all, there is the problem of hunger. According to statistics from the Fourth Institute of the Migratory Thrush, the world's overall food production is very sufficient. It is not only enough to cover the consumption of all the population, but there is even more than 40% surplus.
Several grain-producing countries, led by the Green Country, have more grain than they can eat every year, while several relatively poor countries, such as the Ice Country and the Thousand Sails Sea Country, or countries that are not suitable for growing grain and raising livestock, have to rely on large-scale purchases or even looting to meet their own needs. Therefore, the core of the hunger problem lies in resource allocation.
If we start from this aspect, since the food production itself is sufficient, even if there is a problem, it can be remedied. At worst, we can mobilize some abnormal objects that can store or transport food, and send a large number of cleaners to carry the food over. There won't be any big problems."
"..." x4
This solution is really... simple, but if there is a guarantee, it seems that it is not impossible to give it a try?
