"I think it's not just you, other people should have similar views. (Baidu search update is the fastest and most stable)" Wang Tom obviously has a full understanding of this: "This is not surprising, before we crossed over, we have been living in different social environments, and the cultural concepts we have been exposed to are also different, so we will naturally have different views on things." But I think it's just that we don't have enough communication and understanding, and if we can understand each other's thoughts, we can avoid a lot of unnecessary misunderstandings. ”

"It's not just that. Xie Chun, who was drunk or not, continued to shake his head, and he didn't know whether his action was conscious or unconscious: "Let me ask you, why did you choose to participate in the crossing, and what is your starting point?"

King Tom shrugged and said, "I can't say what other people think, but I myself have long been determined to be the king of navigation. This goal is obviously unattainable in the 21st century, so when I heard that there was an opportunity to rewrite history in the time and space of 400 years ago, I did not hesitate to sign up. ”

Xie Chun nodded and said: "I just talked to a few of them, Roger and Shi Diwen said that they wanted to change their careers to become generals, but it would take at least thirty years to become a general by joining the army in the original time and space, and they didn't want to wait so long." Jochia said that he wanted to replace Darton, Lavoisier and Mendeleev as the father of chemistry in the eyes of future generations. The bearded Johnson is a strange man, his purpose is actually so that his two daughters will not be harmed by school violence and drugs in the future, this ghost father and daughter control ...... As for Morgan Sr., I know that your friends don't want him to be left alone on another plane, so I called him along. Am I right?"

"Hey, friend, I'm not as pitiful as you say!" I don't know when Morgan had already walked behind Xie Chun, just when he heard him babbling, he stretched out his hand and slapped Xie Chun on the shoulder, and Xie Chun, who couldn't help it, immediately crooked his mouth.

"I'm only 44 years old and I still have a lot to do. Morgan raised his hand and let Xie Chun go, and sat down beside him: "If you want to ask me why? What better reason could there be than a world waiting for me to conquer?"

Xie Chun rubbed his shoulder, which was slapped by Morgan, and said with a snort: "Here's the problem, the basic starting point of several of you is to change the environment and live a more exciting life." ”

Tom Wang didn't know what he meant: "What's wrong with this?"

"Do you know why I participated in the crossing?" Xie Chun took a sip of whiskey from his glass, and then said: "I have worked in many industries before, but I have not made any decent results for many years, and I have been changing jobs and job-hopping, but in the end, I still inexplicably carried a big black pot and was resigned by the unit...... Do you know how I feel? Just three words, unwilling! I am not willing to live like this for the rest of my life, and I am not willing to be a little person who has been struggling at the bottom of society!"

Tom Wang nodded and comforted: "You are very similar to Tian Yeyou's situation, he also said that he doesn't want to be a geologist who can only stay in the barren mountains and mountains all year round, but he can't change his situation, so he chose to participate in the crossing." （.）”

"It's not a matter of him being like me, or me being like him, but most of the people in this group are like this, and they are in a reluctant mood to participate in the crossing. Xie Chun looked at the air and said slowly: "For those of us, this is not just a one-way trip to seek excitement, but more importantly, to grasp the opportunity to change our lives." I think you probably know that there are very few successful people like Mr. Tao and Mr. Bai in this group, and there are not even many high-income people like you, and most of the members who participate in the crossing are ordinary people who are not willing to accept the status quo. ”

"It's normal, young people, people who play the role of successful people in society will not change their position so easily, although it is exciting to cross, but for most people, it is better to live a stable life in front of them. Morgan also joined the discussion when he heard this, and slowly expressed his meaning in Chinese, which was not too proficient: "I understand what you want to express, you feel that you are losers in the time and space before you travel, so you want to succeed after coming to this world, so you treat each other as companions, and at the same time, you are looking at each other with the eyes of competitors, so that we outsiders seem out of place in this atmosphere, right?"

"Brother, you're right!" Xie Chun nodded heavily: "You see, in our group, those who have achieved success in their careers before the crossing have basically become members of the executive committee or the heads of various departments, and they have contributed more in the preparation stage, which is of course understandable." And most ordinary people will have to face the pressure of competition if they want to get an upward channel. Of course, compared to the previous social environment, the competition is much smaller now, at best, only a few hundred people, but because of this, the competition has become more clear, and that is the companions we see every day. ”

"And the addition of a few of us has obviously changed that competitive landscape. Tom Wang continued Xie Chun's words: "We have received the importance of the Executive Committee since we joined, and our participation is indispensable for almost all important tasks, which of course makes other people in the group with a sense of competition feel a lot of pressure. ”

"Yes, not everyone has the opportunity to get to know you, and there will even be some who don't like you. Xie Chun licked his lips, and finally said as if he had made up his mind: "When the shipping department trained the crew, every time I met you at sea driving two ships to play acrobatics, the crew of the whole ship would scold, and I was the one who scolded the hardest!"

Tom Wang was stunned at first, and then laughed with Morgan, causing several team members not far away who were putting the sambar deer legs on a charcoal fire to prepare for a barbecue.

"Friend, we don't actually have malicious intent, it's just a special way for the old bird to greet the rookie. Tom Wang smiled and said, "Okay, although it is a little late, I still apologize to my colleagues in the shipping department on behalf of my partners." ”

"And me, of course. Morgan also raised his hand and said, "But the next time we encounter a training ship at sea, we will still do it!"

Tom and Morgan laughed and high-fived, and it was clear that they had no intention of repenting. Xie Chun was surprised to find that he was not angry this time, but involuntarily laughed along with them.

The barbecue that night lasted until late at night, and the members, including Xie Chun, gradually felt that the North American Gang was not so difficult to get along with, although they were not fluent in Chinese with a strong foreigner accent, but basically these guys were relatively simple people, and after getting along, they would find that they did not have any complicated minds.

When Xie Chun saw Tom Wang the next morning, he was still a little embarrassed: "I drank a little too much yesterday, and I didn't speak much through my brain, so don't care too much if you say something wrong." ”

Tom Wang smiled: "No, no, no, it was good yesterday, I think we should find more opportunities like this in the future." I discussed with Morgan last night that we can hold some outdoor barbecue gatherings from time to time in the future, and we can drink together, chat, and get to know each other better like we did yesterday. ”

Xie Chun looked at Wang Tom with suspicious eyes and said, "Among you, only Johnson has become a family, ...... It's not all, is it?"

"Leave this question to you to figure it out for yourself when the time comes!" Wang Tom patted Xie Chun on the shoulder and said, "Remember to bring your own soap!"

Xie Chun shivered, shook his body, and forced himself to try not to think about the scene of a group of big men playing shirtless and chasing on the beach.

After yesterday's hunt and barbecue, the team's mental state has improved significantly, and almost everyone greeted the North American crew with a smile when they boarded the ship, and it seems that these two events have indeed brought the team closer together.

Today is the sixth day of the expedition, and the goal of the expedition is very clear, that is, another large mining area located to the east of the area of the previous two days.

Geographically, the main mining area of Hongji Coal Mine is divided into two parts: one is the western mining area, which the expedition team completed the field survey two days ago, and the other is the eastern mining area, which is blocked by several kilometers of mountainous areas on land. No matter in terms of mining area or coal reserves, the difference between the two mining areas is not large, and the eastern mining area is also the focus of this inspection action.

Although the distance between the two places is only about 10 kilometers in a straight line on the map, the expedition team needs to make a large bend in the sea and find the most suitable route in the dense offshore islands and reefs. Fortunately, the weather was fine today, and the voyage was smooth sailing, and two hours later, we arrived at the seaside location where the city of Kam Phu in Vietnam was located.

After a further hour of circumambulation along the coast, the expedition arrived at the key locations they had previously identified on satellite maps.

The coal mining site is only about a kilometer from the eastern coast, and the crew has measured the depth of the water along the coast here, and the number is very satisfying, with an average depth of more than nine meters, and even the 10,000-ton ships of later generations can dock here. In fact, the main task of the Jinpu Cargo Terminal in the future is to berth large and small coal carriers heading to China, and most of the coal imported from Vietnam into China is loaded here in Jinpu.

Later, the cargo terminal was built in the southeast corner of Jinpu near the sea, where the sea area is very open, and there is enough space to accommodate a number of 10,000-ton cargo ships. However, the expedition team's intended place was on the east bank of Jinpu, a little more inland.
