1627 Rise of the South China Sea

Chapter 119 Overseas Investigation ([-])

"I don't think this is just your opinion, other people should have similar views." Tom Wang obviously has a full understanding of this: "It's not surprising, we have been in different places before crossing. Living in a social environment, people come into contact with different cultural concepts, and naturally have different views on things. But I think it’s just that we lack sufficient communication and understanding. If we can understand each other’s ideas, we can avoid many unnecessary mistakes. misunderstanding."

"It's not just that." Xie Chun, who was drunk but not drunk, continued to shake his head, and he didn't know whether he was conscious or unconscious: "I ask you, why did you choose to participate in time travel? What is your starting point? ?”

Wang Tom shrugged and said: "I can't just say what other people think, but I myself aspired to be the king of navigation a long time ago. This goal is obviously impossible to achieve in the 21st century, so when I heard that there is this opportunity To rewrite history in time and space 400 years ago, I signed up without hesitation."

Xie Chun nodded and said: "I just chatted with them. Roger and Shi Diwen said they wanted to change their careers to become generals, but in the original time and space, it would take at least 30 years to become a general by enlisting in the army. They didn't want to wait so long. Qiao Zhiya said that he wanted to replace Dalton, Lavoisier, and Mendeleev as the father of chemistry in the eyes of future generations. The strange thing about the bearded Johnson is that his purpose is to let his two This daughter will not be harmed by school violence and drugs in the future, this ghost father and daughter accuse... As for old Morgan, I know that you group of friends don't want him to stay alone in another time and space, so you called him together .Am I right?"

"Hey, friend, I'm not as pitiful as you say!" At some point Morgan had already walked behind Xie Chun, just in time to hear him yelling nonsense, and stretched out his hand to pat Xie Chun's shoulder hard, unable to hold back Xie Chun's mouth crooked immediately.

"I'm only 44 years old this year, and there are still many things to do." Morgan raised his hand and let Xie Chun go, and sat down beside him: "You want to ask me why? What reason can be better than the whole world waiting for me?" Is it better to let me conquer?"

Xie Chun rubbed the shoulder that was sore from Morgan's slap, and said with a whimper, "That's the problem, the basic starting point of you guys is to change the environment and live a more exciting life. "

Tom Wang didn't understand what he meant and said, "What's wrong with that?"

"Do you know why I participated in the time-traveling?" Xie Chun took a sip of whiskey from his glass, and then said, "I have worked in many industries before, but I haven't made any decent results for many years, and I keep changing jobs. Job hopping, but in the end, I still got a big scapegoat for no reason, and was resigned by the unit... Do you know how I feel? Just three words, I am not reconciled! Willing to be a little person who has been struggling at the bottom of society!"

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

"It's not that he resembles me or I resemble him, but that most of the people in this group are like this, and they came to the time travel with a feeling of unwillingness." Xie Chun looked at the sky, slowly He said: "For those of us, this is not just a one-way trip to seek excitement, but more importantly, to seize the opportunity to change our lives. I think you probably know that in this group, Mr. Tao, Mr. Bai There are always very few successful people like you, even high-income people like you, and most of the members who participate in the time-traveling are ordinary people who are not satisfied with the status quo."

"This is normal. Young people. People who play the role of successful people in society will not change their position so easily. Although time travel is very exciting, for most people, the stable life in front of them is better." Morgan heard I also joined the discussion here, and slowly expressed myself in unproficient Chinese: "I understand what you want to express, you think you are losers in the time and space before time travel, so you came to this world Afterwards, I hope to succeed even more, so while you regard each other as partners, you also look at each other with the eyes of competitors. In this way, we outsiders seem out of place in this atmosphere, right? "

"Brother, you are right!" Xie Chun nodded heavily and said, "Look, in our group, those who had achieved success before time travel have basically become members of the executive committee or heads of various departments. Of course, there is nothing wrong with putting more effort in the stage. But most ordinary people must face the pressure of competition if they want to get an upward channel. Of course, compared with the previous social environment, the current competition can be regarded as much smaller, at best There are only a few hundred people, but because of this, the competition becomes more clear, that is, these companions we see every day."

"And the joining of a few of us has obviously changed this competitive situation." Wang Tom went on to say what Xie Chun said: "We have been reused by the executive committee since we joined, and almost all important tasks cannot do without our participation. , which of course puts a lot of pressure on other competitive people in the group."

"Yes, not everyone has the opportunity to know you, and some people even don't like you." Xie Chun licked his lips, and finally said as if he had made up his mind: "When the Ministry of Shipping trains the crew, every time When I met you guys playing acrobatics on two boats at sea, all the crew members on the whole boat would yell at you, and I was the one who yelled at you the most!"

Tom Wang was stunned at first, and then he laughed with Morgan, which attracted several team members who were putting the sambar legs on the charcoal fire not far away to look at this side.

"My friend, we don't have any malicious intentions. It's just a special way for veterans to greet rookies." Tom Wang said with a smile, "Well, although it's a bit late, I'd like to extend my greetings to colleagues in the Shipping Department on behalf of my partners. Apologize."

"Of course there is me." Morgan also raised his hand and said: "But next time we encounter a training ship at sea, we will still do it!"

Tom Wang and Morgan laughed and clapped hands together, and it was obvious that they had no intention of repenting.Xie Chun was surprised to find that he was not angry this time, but laughed along with them involuntarily.

The barbecue that night will last until late at night, and the members including Xie Chun gradually feel that these people in the North American Gang are not so difficult to get along with. Although they are not fluent in Chinese with a strong foreign accent, basically this A few guys are relatively simple people, and after getting along with each other, you will find that they don't have any complicated thoughts.

When Xie Chun saw Tom Wang the next morning, he was still a little embarrassed: "I drank a little too much yesterday, and my words didn't pass through my brain very much. Don't pay too much attention if you say something wrong."

Wang Tom smiled and said: "No, no, it was very good yesterday. I think we should find more opportunities like this to communicate in the future. I discussed with Morgan and the others last night. We can hold some outdoor activities from time to time in the future. A barbecue party-like gathering, everyone drank and chatted together like yesterday to improve mutual understanding."

Xie Chun looked at Tom Wang suspiciously and said, "Among you, only Johnson has married. You...are not all gay?"

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

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

After yesterday's hunting activities and barbecue meeting, the mental state of the team members has been significantly improved, and almost everyone smiled and greeted the crew members of the North American Gang when they boarded the ship. It seems that the holding of these two activities It has indeed shortened the distance a lot.

Today is the sixth day of the expedition, and the expedition team has a very clear goal, which is another large mining area located to the east of the area visited in the previous two days.

From the geographical point of view, the main mining area of ​​Hongji Coal Mine is divided into two parts, one is the western mining area where the expedition team completed the field survey two days ago, and the other part is blocked on land by several kilometers of mountainous areas Eastern mining area.Regardless of the mining area or coal reserves, there is not much difference between the two mining areas, and the eastern mining area is also the key inspection area of ​​this investigation.

Although there is only a straight-line distance of more than ten kilometers between the two places on the map, the expedition team needs to make a big bend on the sea and find the most suitable channel among the dense offshore islands and reefs.Fortunately, the weather was fine today, and the sailing was smooth all the way. After two hours, we arrived at the seaside location where the later Vietnam Cam Phu City is located.

After traveling around the coast for more than an hour, the expedition team arrived at the key survey location they found on the satellite image.

The coal mining site here is only about one kilometer away from the east coast. The crew measured the water depth along the coast here, and the data obtained are also very satisfactory. The average depth is more than nine meters. You can dock here.In fact, the most important task of the World Campu Cargo Terminal is to berth large and small coal ships heading for China. Most of the coal imported from Vietnam to China is loaded here in Jinpu.

The cargo terminal of later generations was built on the southeast corner of Jinpu near the sea. The sea area here is very open, and there is enough space to accommodate many [-]-ton cargo ships.However, the place the expedition team was interested in was on the east bank of Kampu, which is a little bit inland.
