The apocalypse struck, and I became a druid.

Possible animals to breed: Pokémon, Forest Falcon, Olive Green Tree Python, Green Spirit Deer, Green Mane Bull, Earth Brown Bear, Snivy Pig...

……

These pieces of information flashed through Han Ning's mind.

As for the third question, the will of nature did not answer it.

Because his mental strength was insufficient, he had to withdraw from the state of communicating with nature.

And don't rush to ask the third question.

Having solved the first two problems, you already possess a very strong attack capability.

"Clearly, these are two directions of development: one for building ships, and the other for farming."

"These two approaches can also be combined to utilize the modified farming environment to cultivate precious timber and some energy needed for shipbuilding."

Han Ning pondered this in his heart.

He needs to sort things out properly.

Despite the amount of content, they don't need to do too much at this stage.

Chapter 165 Improving Internal Structure and Incentive Mechanisms

night.

Everyone who had gone outside returned to the cave.

Everyone, including ordinary people, gathered together.

Several campfires and a golden orb of light floating overhead illuminated the cave brightly.

Chairman Wu stood at the front of the crowd, with his feet on a wooden table.

He cleared his throat and said, "Please be quiet."

In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on him.

"After going through life and death together for so long, I believe everyone knows who led us out of desperate situations time and time again, and who gave us the hope and strength to live."

Chairman Wu's voice was calm and powerful.

"Today, on behalf of all the survivors of Biyun Resort, I hereby officially announce that from this day forward, Mr. Han Ning will be the supreme leader of our team!"

"His will is our direction, and we must unconditionally obey his orders. Any objections?"

After a brief silence, the crowd erupted in a loud response: "No!"

Having experienced the fog incident, the snake swarm attack, the water monkey attack, the extreme weather, and the tragic destruction of the fleet, everyone understood that without Han Ning, they would have long since perished in the flood or been devoured by monsters.

This leadership position was earned by Han Ning through his strength and sense of responsibility, and no one questions it.

Lin Qianqian stood beside Han Ning, a slightly teasing smile playing on her lips, and whispered:

"So, should I start calling you Boss Han from now on?"

"Whatever you like," Han Ning chuckled.

"Now, let's hear from Mr. Han Ning."

Having heard Professor Ye and Xu Ming address Han Ning so often, they started using that title as well.

Han Ning stood on the table and said, "Now that we're all family, I will do my best to ensure everyone's safety."

"But let me make this clear from the start: none of you, including ordinary people, should think that 'if the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up.' Our lives will be very fulfilling, even arduous. Everyone needs to get involved. In today's resource-rich society, you can lie down and relax, but not here!"

At this point, he changed the subject.

"On the other hand, if everyone can complete the tasks we set for them every day, then life will definitely get better and better."

"Then let me tell you how we should proceed from here."

The cave fell silent; even breathing became softer.

"The first thing to do is build a ship."

Han Ning got straight to the point.

"With the floodwaters rising and the Kuroshio monsters lurking around, we can't stay trapped in these mountains forever."

"Our ship is destroyed. We need a large ship to take us to a safer continent."

"I acquired knowledge of ship construction from another world through some special means."

"To build this kind of ship, special rune technology, energy cores, and extraordinary materials are required."

He did not explain the source of his knowledge. The vice presidents present only glanced at him with surprise, but did not press him for details.

Everyone has secrets. Han Ning's strength and mystery are already common knowledge. They only need to know that this knowledge is useful.

“Building this kind of ship cannot be done by brute force alone; it requires a lot of learning and research.”

Han Ning continued,

"We need a group of people to specialize in learning and mastering this knowledge. For now, we will mainly divide the knowledge into three categories: ship design and construction, materials science, and rune arrays."

His gaze fell upon the ordinary people in the crowd:

“In the past, people may have thought that without the ability to awaken, the role was limited.”

"But things are different now. Learning this knowledge and mastering shipbuilding technology will be your new battlefield. Ordinary people can also become an indispensable core member of the team."

These words brightened the dim eyes of many ordinary survivors. If it weren't for Han Ning's imposing presence, they would have all started talking to each other.

Several ordinary people around Xu Ming and Professor Ye, including the Jiang siblings Jiang Yuan and Jiang Rui, all showed expressions of great interest.

"Well, as for the subsequent learning content and daily work and study plan, we will announce them later. That's all for today, everyone go and rest."

The group meeting inside the cave concluded after clarifying the general direction and basic rules.

Han Ning did not leave immediately; he stood there and glanced at the several vice presidents.

They understood each other perfectly, and together they walked toward the house next door.

Han Ning recounted more information about the Origin Clan to several core members.

"What I just said to them is also for you."

"So, who is willing, or rather, who is capable of taking the lead in learning this knowledge?"

Han Ning asked,

"We need someone with a solid theoretical foundation and strong learning ability to take the lead."

"If you can't do it, we'll have to find a few academic leaders to take the lead."

Han Ning believed he was incapable; his greatest fear during his school years was studying.

Getting into a decent undergraduate program is already his limit.

Everyone looked at each other, you looked at me, I looked at you.

"I have an undergraduate degree in finance. I don't know if it will be useful, but I'm confident," Lin Qianqian stated.

Chairman Wu then said:

"Before I transmigrated, I was a master's student majoring in mechanical automation, so I had an engineering background."

“Although the knowledge system of the Yuan Clan is different from ours, I am willing to take the lead in learning and organize everyone to divide the work for research.”

"Oh?" Han Ning was somewhat surprised.

He didn't expect that Chairman Wu had an engineering background.

“That’s right, Chairman Wu. You will take charge of our initial learning work.”

"Qianqian, you... try learning it first."

"Old Zhao and the others were in charge of combat-related matters."

Fortunately, Chairman Wu has broken a leg and is no longer fit for combat, so we can assign him to the rear.

"Understood!" Everyone nodded.

"Next, we need to clarify the division of labor and study an incentive mechanism."

Han Ning looked at everyone, "What are your thoughts?"

A moment of silence.

It was Chairman Wu who spoke up: "My initial idea is to divide all of us into two categories: research and combat."

"Research-related roles are primarily responsible for learning about the origin race, designing ships, researching materials, inscribing runes, cultivating extraordinary crops, and managing logistics."

"Ordinary people are given priority for entry into the research category, while awakened individuals can also join if they have relevant expertise or interests."

"Within the research category, levels are further divided according to learning progress, research results, and the size of contributions, such as apprentice, researcher, senior researcher, project leader, etc."

"Combat roles are mainly responsible for going out to explore, collect resources, guard and defend, and hunt monsters to obtain crystals and materials."

"It is mainly composed of awakened individuals, but ordinary people who are physically strong, have the will to fight, and have been trained can also join as support personnel."

"Combat teams are also ranked according to their strength and contributions, such as reserve team members, regular team members, elite team members, and captains."

Chapter 166 Moxiangmu

"The higher the level, the more resources you will be allocated, such as food, energy crystals, rest time, and safe locations."

"At the same time, the level also represents the voice and participation in decision-making within the team. As long as ordinary people make enough contributions in the research field, they can also be promoted to senior researchers, project leaders, and enter the core decision-making level."

"Of course, considering that we are companions who have gone through thick and thin together, even if someone is temporarily unable to meet the minimum requirements, we will ensure their basic living supplies and safety, and we will not abandon anyone."

"However, if you want better food, safer shelter, greater strength, and a greater voice, you can only strive for it through your own efforts. This is a clear path to advancement for both awakened individuals and ordinary people."

"Old Wu, I think the framework you mentioned is pretty good."

Han Ning nodded in agreement.

"The specific details, especially the quantitative standards for incentives, the weight of resource allocation, the specific authority of different levels and the promotion threshold... these details need to be carefully considered."

Chairman Wu nodded immediately:

"We do need to discuss this more carefully to avoid unnecessary conflicts during implementation or to prevent some people from feeling that it is unfair."
