Chapter 47: What Matters is "Character"
The participants spoke highly of Yang Xin's design proposal, especially his design concept of adding a fortress that appeared hundreds of years later. Everyone expressed their gratitude to Yang Xin and unanimously approved the design plan. However, at the same time as the plan was adopted, a small number of participants did not understand that Yang Xin had designed 50 courtyard houses in the living quarters of the "Liangyuan" base, and that he Weishenme had to design so many courtyard houses with only 38 travelers, including several couples. Could it be that there is also a place to stay for non-traversers? But the problem is that even if Qingchen, Yang Yongzhong's father and son, and even Yu Xuzi and other people who are interested in them are counted, they can't live in so many houses.
Facing the doubts of several brothers, Yang Xin also seemed to be a little dazed, he looked at Wang Kunjun who was sitting at the top, and then said: "I can't explain this question, because I was originally going to plan the number of courtyards on the design plan according to our actual number of people, plus Qingchen, Yang Yongzhong's father and son, Yuxuzi and Master Tai. Later, however, the fifth brother came to me, and when he learned of my plan, he suggested that I should not count the number of courtyards along the line, but increase the number of courtyards as much as possible in order not to be crowded and not to occupy the area of farmland and ponds. That's why I drew 50 courtyard houses on the blueprint. As for the fifth brother weishenme to ask for this, I don't know, let's let the fifth brother explain it to the brothers. ”
After listening to Yang Xin's introduction, everyone present, except for Zhang Xiaofei and Zhang Weixin, turned their eyes to Wang Kunjun, hoping that the fifth brother (fifth brother) could give himself a reasonable explanation.
Wang Kunjun obviously expected that his brothers would have doubts about this, he took a sip of tea unhurriedly, and then just said very calmly: "Brothers, can you really be sure that in this time and space, there are only more than thirty of us traversers?" ”
Everyone was stunned by Wang Kunjun's question, and they didn't understand what their fifth brother (fifth brother) meant by asking. Li Junwu asked with some confusion: "Old Five, what do you mean by this, did you find a traverser around us again?" ”
Wang Kunjun shook his head and said, "No, it's not that I found another traverser around us. The reason why I asked Lao Twenty-Five to design it this way is mainly because of the situation we may encounter in the future. ”
"What's the situation?" Li Junwu asked.
Wang Kunjun did not answer Li Junwu's question directly, but said: "Naturally, it is the sentence I asked just now, can we be absolutely sure that in this time and space, there are only more than 30 of us traversers?" ”
"Old Five, what do you mean......" Li Junwu seemed to understand what Wang Kunjun meant, and he asked with some hesitation.
"Not bad," Wang Kunjun took Li Junwu and said half of what he said, "What I mean is that in this time and space, in addition to us, there are likely to be other traversers. With the development of our team's career, there may be the same situation as when we met Lao Thirteen and Xiao Fei in the future. So I thought, since I'm designing a new site from scratch, why not take the opportunity to build a few more houses in case you need them in the future. ”
Regarding Wang Kunjun's assumptions, some brothers expressed understanding, but some brothers said they did not believe it. Faced with this situation, Zhang Weixin took Wang Kunjun's words and continued to explain: "Maybe some brothers don't believe that this will happen. However, you can't be blamed for this, after all, everyone's perception of this concept before crossing over basically comes from novels, movies, and TV series. However, any work that travels through the genre usually describes this particular kind of time travel as a very rare phenomenon, and thinks that the probability of its occurrence for a certain person is lower than being struck by lightning in the same place for hundreds of times.
To be honest, at the beginning of the crossing, Fifth Brother and I also had the same idea, and we both thought that this was a very unlikely event. However, as we have been on this plane for longer and longer, this idea has become less and less convincing. At the beginning, after we crossed for a few days, we met another group of traversers led by the eldest brother and the seventh brother. At that time, although the fifth brother and I were shocked, after learning that the place where the eldest brother and they crossed was not far from the place we crossed, we thought that this crossing phenomenon might have occurred in a specific area, and the two groups of us happened to be in this area, so it was passed on together. So, we didn't dwell on this issue at the time, and we didn't meet any other time-travelers in the months that followed, so we quickly stopped talking about it.
However, what I didn't expect was that in February of this year, when the old fourteen and they went to the beach to look for the 'sea intestines', they met the old thirteen and their four brothers. Moreover, from their descriptions, we can clearly know that they crossed at the same time as us, but the location is very different, and it is not at all what we thought at first, this crossing only took place in a specific area, and it may involve a wide range. At that time, my fifth brother and I wanted to hold a plenary meeting to share our thoughts with you. However, this idea was eventually dispelled. First, although there are four brothers of the old thirteen as examples, the arguments are still a little thin. Second, there was a lot of work on the team at that time, and this was not a very urgent problem that needed to be solved immediately, so I put it aside for the time being.
I don't need to say anything about the rest of the matter, everyone also knows that the eldest fifth sister-in-law and the Zheng brothers and his wife have appeared in front of our eyes again. At this time, neither I nor the fifth brother believed that this crossing event was a very limited small probability event. Moreover, I also believe that in addition to me and my fifth brother, there are many brothers who also think this way. It's just that this situation is contrary to everyone's so-called 'common sense' understanding, so until now, no brother, including me and the fifth brother, has put this matter on the table.
This time, taking advantage of the construction of the 'Liangyuan' base, my fifth brother and I decided to take the number of courtyards on the design drawings as the starting point, and spread out this matter to communicate with everyone. First, unify our thinking within the team, so that everyone has a perceptual understanding of this situation. Second, I also take this opportunity to see if we should make a charter on this issue, so that we can have a complete set of coping mechanisms to deal with similar situations in the future. After all, with the continuous development and growth of the team, the area of our activities in the future may no longer be limited to Youzhou, and everyone may also go out to take charge of themselves. If there is a standard coping mechanism to guide everyone to deal with this situation, whether it is for the brothers personally, for the team, or even for the other new crossers, it will be beneficial and harmless.
That's all I have to say, I wonder if you can agree with my statement, do you have any views on the development of relevant handling mechanisms? ”
Zhang Weixin's remarks made the participants look at each other, and it was difficult to turn this corner for a while. After a while, I heard Liu Wendong seem to be talking to himself, and he seemed to be asking: "Fifth brother, seventh brother, this matter will not really be as suspenseful as you say, right?" According to you, the chances of being crossed are too high, right? In that case, wouldn't we often run into traversers in the future, and then this world must not be messed up into a pot of porridge. ”
Liu Wendong's words were echoed by some people, who also nodded their heads to express the same concern. Seeing this, Wang Kunjun waved his hand and comforted: "First of all, there is some truth in Lao Qi's statement. You know, the era we traveled through was 2012, and there was nothing surprising that something unthinkable happened. Second, we should not worry too much about historical changes. Maybe there are really thousands of people like us who have been crossed over, but if you think carefully about our experience since the time crossing, you should be able to find that in fact, it is not easy for a time-traveler to survive in this era. If you want to live a better life, a certain amount of character value and opportunity are essential.
Just like us people, if it weren't for the fact that we met a Zhong Yuan who had some insight and some courage, I am afraid that the life of Lao Thirteen and the others in a small fishing village would not be much better, maybe even worse. As for that, as written in the novel, to break out of a big career single-handedly, in addition to the super high character value and extreme coincidence, you also need to open countless 'golden fingers' and 'cheats'.
Therefore, I don't think you need to worry about it at all, and you don't have to make a fuss if you encounter other traversers in the future, you just need to look at it with a normal mind and deal with it according to certain standard procedures. ”
"Fifth Brother is right," Zhang Weixin added, "Everyone just needs to treat this situation with a normal heart." Just like the fifth brother said, even if there are really thousands of people who have crossed over, there are only a handful of people who can really gain a foothold in this era and have a certain strength. If you can reach our level, I'm afraid there won't be any more.
What's more, one of the characteristics of this time crossing event should be that time and space are transferred at the same time, which can be seen from the great difference between the locations before and after our crossing. Imagine what the chances of a person or group of people being transported to a place like an ocean, a lake, a desert, or a primeval forest, or the Tibetan Plateau would be that he or they would survive. Even if they are not pierced into no man's land, if they are pierced into a place where war is still frequent, or where civilization is not yet civilized, what are the chances that he or they will survive. After removing the deaths caused by these possible dangers I mentioned, everyone should be able to have an approximate proportion of how many traversers will survive. ”
Wang and Zhang's remarks made the brothers' originally somewhat uneasy hearts gradually calm down. Many people pondered in their hearts, what Wang and Zhang said was very reasonable. Don't talk about it from afar, let's just say that when I just crossed over, Fan Wucheng's wife and the old Song family of three died on the spot. Thankfully, the situation of the others is even more dangerous, as long as the slightest deviation in the position when crossing over, a few of them will be like the customers of other beach restaurants, and they will already die in the sea before they have time to wake up after crossing. Moreover, if they were not rescued in time, they would have had to die of thirst and starvation to death when they were trapped on the small reef. It seems that time travel is really a job that requires a lot of character value.
