Norwegian explorer Thor is definitely not a standard hero (except for handsome looks and blond hair). He is not witty and decisive, nor can he be alone, let alone omnipotent. He stubbornly insisted on using ropes to tie up the raft like the kon-tiki more than a thousand years ago, instead of wire, allowing the rope to be frayed. Facing the contradiction between the crew, he just silently observed it. Intervened to mediate; faced with the fact that he had deviated from the course, he seemed to be comforting himself, "We did not deviate, it was okay, it was okay"; as the initiator of the trans-Pacific adventure, he couldn't even swim.
But he axis. In order to prove that kon-tiki can reach Bolivia from the European continent across the Pacific Ocean a thousand years ago, he had to follow the manufacturing process of the year to make an unpowered raft, and only rely on the wind and ocean currents to cross the Pacific Ocean. He ridiculed him everywhere looking for sponsorships, and he painfully chose between his family and his career, a career he had been struggling with for ten years. Finally formed his expedition team.
From the rigorous point of view of an engineering student, even if he can successfully use the raft he made to cross the Pacific Ocean, it does not prove that the kon-tiki of more than a thousand years ago can. Strictly speaking, under his circumstances, it was impossible to restore 100% of the conditions of the year. In the process of making the raft, he may have used modern cutting and handling tools; in the food he brought, there must be conditions that could not be reached a thousand years ago, such as the "shark prevention powder" that appeared in the movie; When leaving the port, he also used a steamboat to drag the raft out of the port. Everything is obviously not in line with the conditions a thousand years ago. So at the beginning, the purpose of this expedition-to prove that the ancients 1,500 years ago could emigrate across the Pacific on a raft was untenable.
But Thor did it anyway because of his axis. To be honest, I was a little surprised that such a person could finally successfully complete the expedition and become a famous explorer in Norwegian history. It seems that he has no bright spots to boast of, no extraordinary abilities and exploration skills, only the axis, which can be regarded as one of his characteristics. But perhaps it was his axis, allowing him to do things that no one dared to try, allowing him to prove to the world that an impossible thing must happen (Murphy's Law in Interstellar Crossing). Perhaps Thor will fail, he may become a conversational resource for people at that time and then disappear from the field of vision of future generations. But maybe another person will appear, he will do things that other people seem to be impossible, and he can't even think about it, maybe this person will die silently. But in such a big world, there is always an axis man who will succeed, and then he will be famous all over the world, he is a successful explorer, and he will also prove that if the explorer only needs one kind of spirit, that is, axis.
