Grett's paper lasted for two days just by writing it.

In addition to the relationship between passenger/tonnage and mortality rate, and mortality rates of various diseases, he also counted a lot of things:

The correlation between mortality rates of various diseases and sailing seasons;

The mortality rate of each disease type and the departure/arrival location;

The correlation between the time of death in various diseases and the number of sailing days...

Finally, it was proved that gastrointestinal infection, which had the highest incidence, was closely related to the density of people, was closely related to the number of sailing days, was slightly related to the sailing season, and had almost no connection with the departure/arrival location;

Scurvy, which has the second highest incidence rate, is most closely related to the number of sailing days and is less related to other factors.

"So, the previously estimated method can minimize the mortality rate... Are there any other methods, or are there any methods that have been widely adopted in current large-scale passenger transport?"

Grett closed the draft of the paper. Just working behind closed doors cannot create a good method. Public health science is an empirical science and requires field investigations, so where can we start...

Gret rang out his interpersonal network, got up and went out, and went to the Third Fleet's base. The last battle to defeat the Treasure Fleet, the parliamentary fleet had carried a large number of people, and they had experience!

The entire station was busy and was just about to prepare for the flight. But when he saw him coming, William Gonson, the chief logistics chief of the fleet, received him warmly:

"A large number of sailors and soldiers carrying? We have experience this! Well, in general, the total number of small boats below 200 tons, sailors and soldiers cannot be more than 300 people; large boats above 200 tons cannot be more than one person per ton."

He talked freely, his face radiating with pride that naturally arises when he was asked about his profession:

"If you carry war horses, war beasts, or barbarians, you have special adjustment algorithms... This is more complicated, so I won't go into details?"

"No need to say it carefully!" Gray's head was overwhelming:

"I just want to ask, what is the mortality rate when you transport soldiers on a large scale? Is there 10%? Is there 5%?"

"5%!" William Gunson almost jumped up, as if he had heard something terrible, and as if he had been greatly insulted:

"You are kidding! Transporting soldiers, especially barbarian soldiers, five of them died out of 100, which is absolutely impossible to accept! At most two! It's not because of war, but purely dying in transportation, at most two of them 100!"

If the passenger/tonnage ratio reaches 1, the mortality rate will be reduced to 2%. How can this be done? Gret sincerely asked this senior for advice. William Gunsen also knew everything and said everything:

"Those soldiers are not prisoners! Even if it is the army, as long as the weather is good, the boat does not shake or there are no big waves, they should be on the deck to move on a regular basis every day. Carry water, help scrub the deck, and scrub the cabin... In short, don't keep it in the cabin all the time!"

Go up the deck regularly, breathe fresh air, and keep the cabin clean. Grett silently wrote down these items. He asked tentatively again:

"What if it's not allowed to leave the bottom pole? What if... it's really a prisoner, for example, a prisoner of war?"

"Powers of war are not kept in the air." General Gonson disagreed:

"At least, they have to pour the manure buckets themselves? They have to move the food themselves? Otherwise, who will serve them? Of course, some people will definitely cause trouble, so the mortality rate is higher than that of ordinary people, but as long as they don't make too much trouble, it will not exceed 5%.

"By the way, whether it is a soldier or a prisoner of war, they are at least level 1 soldiers, right?"

"Of course!"

The physical health of level 1 soldiers is much higher than that of ordinary people. Disasters and refugees can be said to be part of ordinary civilians who are relatively weak...

Grett secretly wrote down this point. If the body is strong, exogenous infection will not easily break through the immune barrier and will not easily cause an epidemic. He asked carefully:

"So, what about the large-scale transfer of poor people? For example, this time the victims?"

"Please take care of them." President Gonson curled his smile and replied seriously:

"The fleet has also received a task of transporting civilians. In general, treating them as humans, not deducting food, putting them on the deck regularly, treating them as much as possible, or at least moving them to a separate cabin, which will greatly reduce the mortality rate."

“How much can it be reduced?”

“…7%?8%?”

General Manager Gonson hesitated for a moment. "The first fleet has just set off and it's still early to return. I just estimate based on previous years' experience. In short, our fleet transporters must have died less than merchant ships."

Gret breathed a sigh of relief, asked some related costs and assessment questions, and said goodbye to him. He returned to the Mage Tower, supplemented some information and discussions, and submitted it to the review meeting:

"...To sum up, the following methods can effectively reduce the mortality rate during transportation." The reviewer of Black Crow Swamp looked through the paper and whispered:

"Only at this time, people who are particularly unlike Black Crow Swamp. They are full of hearts and eyes. They are all thinking about saving people. They are happy to be able to die less than one person..."

Around me, two members of the Medical Branch of the Plastic School and the Curse School coughed at the same time.

"First, before boarding the ship, the victims should be screened in advance, and those with diseases should be temporarily detained. This kind of screening can be carried out while waiting in line to board the ship... The treatment person will check whether there are abnormal symptoms such as fever, diarrhea, etc., and check it in conjunction with [Personal Observation] and so on..."

"Secondly, when delivering the victims to the carrier, the number of people shall be strictly controlled and shall not exceed 0.9 times the tonnage. At the same time, the carrier shall be prohibited from carrying a large number of goods, leaving enough space for the victims..."

"Third, the carrier is required to leave isolation cabins and conduct regular health checks for the victims. If there are abnormalities, timely isolation..."

"Fourth, regularly distribute drugs to cure [Sea Plague]..."

"Fifth, implement a reasonable incentive mechanism..."

"It seems quite reasonable." The reviewer of the medical branch rubbed his nose and sneeze slightly:

"The money spent is not too much. If the death rate can be reduced to less than 5%, for the parliament, it will save a lot of manpower in developing the colony. As for the incentive mechanism, how to do it better?"

The abominable Master Nordmark, with a sentence "I am not familiar with economic practices", directly jumped over the details of this suggestion and threw it all to the parliament!

If you have the ability to write a paper, you have the ability to write a detailed article!

"Give bonuses? If the death toll is less than 5%, will the captain and the ship doctor be given a special reward?"

"Deduct money? Too much death, the parliament will directly fine and disqualify the next shipment?"

"Half of the freight is paid by the receiving place? The more people arrive at Ping An, the more freight you get, and the step-by-step rise?"

The magicians began to discuss it with each other. Grett has already devoted himself to a new research direction.
