In the western Pacific Ocean, it is 200 kilometers from the island of Koro.
The buoys with the anchor chains falling undulating with the waves, connected by ropes, draw a circle on the surface of the sea.
Eight construction vessels surround the five-square-kilometer area of the sea and anchor here like an offshore platform, carrying out the construction process around the clock. Workers on board work in shifts, taking turns to go ashore every Monday to rest.
There is a guardian-class frigate on standby, and the towering electromagnetic naval guns stand at a 45° elevation angle, guarding the surrounding seas.
Although the Philippines has run out of more coast guard vessels to harass the waters of the new country, the necessary vigilance procedures are still indispensable. The USS Stennis is staring at the area, and although they don't dare to send out drones again, they can't guarantee that they won't use underwater reconnaissance equipment. The Guardian-class frigates are equipped with anti-submarine radars and "paper-packed-NK" 330mm anti-submarine torpedoes, which can play a certain deterrent role in underwater units trying to get close.
At this moment, a large steamer loaded with hundreds of containers approached and stopped next to an engineering ship.
The man in the white shirt threw the towel over his shoulder, walked over to the machine, and pulled down the lever hard. The iron bridge was set between the engineering ship and the ship, and several soldiers wearing mechanical exoskeletons and carrying rifles boarded the ship.
The captain hurriedly greeted him and walked around the ship with the soldiers of the Star Ring Trade. After confirming that there was no problem, the foreman on the ship began to shout and beckon the workers to work.
The cargo was divided into two batches, one was brought on board and one was thrown into the sea with a robotic arm.
After finishing the work at hand, the man in the white shirt threw the wrench on the side, picked up the towel on his shoulder to wipe the sweat on his face, and then watched with empty eyes as the mechanical arm clamped the heavy container and unloaded it into the sea.
Zhou Qiang, the workers he knows call him Qiangzi. He came to the ship two months ago, and he took the online recruitment, and the level of Chinese among these workers is relatively high. Although I only went to high school.
In the coastal areas of China, many people know about Xinguo, and they also know that there is a large company called Transwarp Trading there. Not only that, but they also knew that the boss was Chinese. I also know that this magical boss is also the majority shareholder of the Future People Group!
Because they are all Chinese, the boss takes good care of the Chinese. As long as they work in the company for a year and have no criminal record, even illiterate people can get immigration passports. Of course, because of illiteracy. After obtaining their immigration passports, they are placed in a community college on the island of Anga, where they receive six months of literacy education.
Although it is literacy, it is actually learning mathematics and English. Compared with other developing countries, China's education penetration rate is already very high, and even the illiterate can read, and they can't read the job postings if they don't read.
Education is a welfare, not an industry, in the new country, which is the opposite of their hometown. And these workers are also willing to learn, and they all say that knowledge changes fate, right?
"You say. Isn't it hot for those iron bumps to wear such thick clothes?" He Dong walked to the side, took out two cigarettes, handed one to Hadron and lit it himself.
The mechanical exoskeleton is mainly made of aluminum and polyethylene, and there is almost no iron except for a few important parts that are protected by C-shaped steel. However, the black metallic luster on the polyethylene bulletproof panel will always make people who don't know how to mistake it for iron bumps.
Zhou Qiang smiled sneeringly and took the cigarette from He Dong's hand.
"I don't know, maybe they're not afraid of the heat. ”
He Dong laughed heartily, and looked at the two soldiers standing at the door of the captain's room like a stake. Smacked his lips.
"It's summer all year round in Shinkoku, but I'm afraid I won't have much chance to see snow after that. ”
"Don't you go home for the Chinese New Year?" Zhou Qiang asked suspiciously.
He Dong glanced at him, and his nose puffed out a few smoke rings.
"What are you going back to? ”
"Moving your home?"
"Otherwise, like we all came late, like my brother and the first ones who came here to work. They worked in the Phantom Helmet Factory! It is said that he worked for half a year, and with the bonus alone, he was able to make up the money for a house. He Dong glanced at Zhou Qiang, who had no knowledge.
Of all the workers, he was a relatively wide of his way in the new country. In the middle of 16 years, his brother came to Xinguo with the first wave of immigrants, and after several rounds, he arranged for the Phantom Helmet Factory. Produce that kind of virtual reality stuff. As the factory got bigger and bigger, his brother also became a squad leader, leading a team of ten people to polish helmet parts.
He is said to be ready to resign now. With enough money, he plans to use the contacts he has accumulated in the factory to get an order for the production of helmet shells. Many small enterprises in the new country have made a fortune by ordering the plastic shell of the Phantom helmet. With spare money in hand, he also plans to give it a try.
"A house...... That's got to be more than a million. Zhou Qiang said stunned.
Although his current basic salary is also 1,000 yuan, and the unit also covers food and accommodation, he saved more than 1 million yuan to buy a house...... It still seems like a long way off.
As if seeing the encouragement in his friend's heart, He Dong laughed and patted him on the shoulder.
"Don't think it's too difficult to buy a house, Xinguo doesn't have those black-hearted developers, and the Future People Group can't look down on the real estate money, more than one million? You want to live in a villa with a yard When I didn't say, but if you have an apartment building with the Transwarp trade trademark, at most 200,000 is enough. ”
"Dollars?"
"If it's a dollar, it's about 30,000 dollars? I'm not good at math. ”
Hearing his friend's words, Zhou Qiang's face suddenly blossomed. Counting the subsidy for going to sea, he can get a salary of 2,000 US dollars a month, and if he saves 30,000 US dollars, he can get it after saving for a year and a half.
"However, Transwarp Trade's welfare housing can only be purchased by one person, and the area is only ten square meters. People, you still have to pursue a little, save a million or more, how happy is it to buy a seaview villa to live in?" He Dong said with a smile.
This pursuit, he is also this recent. Originally, when he was working in Wanghai City, he worked tirelessly for more than two years, and he never expected to buy a nest in Wanghai City. Later, he heard his family mention overseas work by chance, and he learned that there was a shortage of workers in the new country, so he ran along his brother's path with the mentality of giving it a try.
This time, he didn't want to go back.
Here, he saw hope in buying a house.
For most Chinese people, isn't this life just for a suite and a warm home?
"What are you doing with your leisure, hurry up and get all the work done. After a while, a big man will come to check, be lazy and be careful, I will deduct your bonus. ”
Operating the robotic arm, the container was thrown into the sea, and the foreman with a cigarette butt shouted and glanced over.
Seeing that the foreman was dissatisfied, He Dong quickly extinguished the cigarette butt and ran back to his post with Qiangzi. The boxes are finished, but it seems that there is still work to be done. As for the big man in the foreman's mouth, it is not their small people's concern.
After unloading all the cargo, the rotation separated from the engineering ship and returned in the direction of Anga Island.
At the same time, a helicopter approached in the direction of the engineering ship. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please visit wènhttp://mnet
