After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 843

The Mathematician Team was primarily made to help her calculate the locations of arrays.

Everything had some bearing in maths—even in the natural world. Even if this was a different world, it applied, though a lot of their formulas had to be discovered and studied from scratch.

Since they didn’t have anyone who really understood arrays in the territory, they had to figure it out themselves.

After the Math team signed a nondisclosure agreement and five-year bonds to Alterra, she taught them what she knew of the arrays—which honestly wasn’t much, but it made them cry in gratitude anyway.

Since then, these people stayed in the research center unless they had to train as per territory requirements. They practically lived in the Research Center dorms—which, by the way, was only there in case of urgent all-nighters.

They had to kick them out multiple times, especially during their day-offs.

At the same time, she couldn’t really blame them either. Arrays were really a fascinating subject. It was just that they were studying it from the start, basically, like how the ancients studied math.

They had to go through too many trials and errors, and what was more difficult was that—unlike actual maths—they couldn’t create arrays (yet) so they couldn’t test things out.

Now, they were given much more concrete—and doable— assignments that could be the application of everything they studied thus far. The team naturally jumped at it.

The team was a group of seven people, some of whom were even acclaimed experts back in Terran.

Pesto, the head mathematician, was an old man with thinning hair (of course, thanks to his leveling up, it had grown quite a bit). _{freёweɓnovel.com}

There was also Virgo, one of Kimmy’s husbands. Since he moved here, he practically never left the center. A math maniac, that was what he was. They could only imagine the torture of staying in a territory without paperback in Belluga.

He had very thick callouses. They reckoned he must have carved his notes on wood instead.

This team also had Melissa. They realized that she had much more potential in the theories, especially since she wasn’t held down by the ’known’ theories—something she had limited access to in Terran as a dropout.

When she found out they were attacking the people who killed her brother, she naturally got reinvigorated and worked throughout most of the day. Eugene, even if he didn’t like wars, was fine with this type of overwork even if it was for Melissa’s well-being.

For the next few days, this team, including Althea, focused on these calculations. Of course, unfortunately, there were a lot of assumptions.

For example, while they knew using a certain percentage of comprehensive strength was considered as the war trigger, it was never fully quantified. The variances were too far. How did one truly quantify a person’s individual strength, anyway?

They also got information from the aborigines they used as data, but how accurate could a person’s memory be?

How detailed would they remember these things? None of them were lords who could see the population number at a glance, and even if they were, who would record this data?

The research team therefore had no choice but to play safe for now and use a huge tolerance in their calculations.

In fact, this calculation could easily take months or even years if done manually. However, their research center managed to do it in a fraction of the time.
