Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

Before Lin Yuan came, he thought he would see the following scene: villagers holding hoes and surrounding a group of missionaries in a core group, and the missionaries were holding chairs and wooden sticks as weapons, confronting the villagers...

Who knew that there was such a scene in front of me: two platforms were set up on the open space, a group of foreigners stood on one platform, and cheerful folks were under the platform. Looking at their appearance was more fun than watching a big show!

A cross was erected on the high platform on the left, and several priests held books as thick as bricks in their hands. Lin Yuan thought it must be the Bible. The priest was talking to the people below, and the people below were listening absent-mindedly. , eyes kept looking to the high platform on the right.

I saw three long tables on the high platform on the right, and a few foreigners stood behind the tables dancing and talking about something. The front of the table was surrounded by villagers, most of them were children, and their "twittering" could be heard from a distance. laughter.

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "What are these foreigners talking about? How do you make these children so happy?"

When Lin Yuan was wondering, the master said fearfully from the side: "Sir, let's call the soldiers quickly, these foreigners are afraid that they have used the technique of soul-stirring on this group of children. After a while, the villagers will understand and kill them." It’s a big deal for foreigners!”

Lin Yuan didn't pay attention to the master's nonsense at all, he said: "Come on, let's go up and have a look! Don't call me my lord when you are in front of everyone!"

When he got closer, Lin Yuan could see clearly that there were several paintings on the table, which were all kinds of animals. What surprised Lin Yuan was that the animals looked very strange, and the paintings were put in glass photo frames. A foreigner They are telling stories to the children.The foreigner picked up a painting to cover his face, shook the painting from side to side, and said in a childish voice: "Look at me, look at me, I am a dinosaur, and I lived 6000 million years ago!" "Hoo hoo" sound, to the group of children, it seemed that the funny dinosaur in the painting was really talking, so they all laughed "haha".Seeing this scene, Lin Yuan couldn't help but chuckle, thinking: "This foreigner really has a childlike innocence, and he traveled thousands of miles to China to coax children."

The master next to him kept shaking his head, and sighed, "Speaking strange words, making strange noises, and acting strangely, what kind of dignity is this!"

At this moment, the foreigner put down the painting and picked up another painting. This painting showed a huge bird. The foreigner pointed to the painting and said, "Do you know what it is?"

The children answered in unison: "Birds"

The foreigner laughed and said, "Have you ever seen a bird taller than a man and bigger than a house? They lived 300 million years ago."

The more Lin Yuan thought about it, the more puzzled he became. There were missionaries on the one hand, and the paleontology exhibition on the other. What did the foreigners want to do? At this moment, someone patted Lin Yuan on the shoulder. When he turned around, he saw a familiar face Appearing in front of his eyes, the man turned out to be Henry Dunant who came to investigate the prisoner-of-war camp a few days ago!

Dunan gave Lin Yuan a warm hug, and said with a smile, "Dear friend, why are you here?" Lin Yuan smiled and said, "I should ask you this question, right?"

Du Nan pulled Lin Yuan behind the table and sat down, and said, "I'm just here to relax in China."

Lin Yuan pointed to the two tables and asked, "Then what's going on with these two groups?"

Dunant laughed as soon as he heard it, and said: "On the platform on the left are people from the church. They are missionaries in China. On the platform on the right are a group of paleontologists. They are my compatriots, Swiss, and they are coming to China. Looking for oil."

Lin Yuan asked again: "These two groups are irrelevant, how did they get on stage?"

Dunant laughed even happier, and said, "The group of priests insisted that humans were created by gods, while the group of paleontologists insisted that humans evolved from monkeys. They started arguing from the boat, but they didn't argue on the boat. As a result, they went ashore and continued to quarrel, as long as the priests took out the cross, opened the Bible, and persuaded people to become Christians, the paleontologists would set up the table, take out the specimen album, and tell everyone that God does not exist."

Lin Yuan suddenly thought of something and asked, "Are you right, are they paleontologists? Then why are they looking for oil?"

At this moment, the foreigner on the stage came over and saw Dunan and Lin Yuan talking, so he walked over, stretched out his hand to Lin Yuan, and said with a smile: "Are you a Chinese friend of the respected Mr. Dunan? My name is Sowell, nice to meet you!"

Lin Yuan shook hands with him, and before he could express his doubts, Sowell said, "Did you know? According to the Bible, God created human beings, but various evidences show that all creatures in the world are made of human beings. The most primitive creatures evolved, so there is no God at all.”

Lin Yuan smiled and nodded. Sowell cast a disdainful glance at the pastor on the left platform, and said, "They are British, they think that they are the savior every day, and let others join the church if they have nothing to do..."

Lin Yuan didn't want to hear this, he asked with a smile, "Are you here to find oil?"

Sowell replied: "Yes, a British oil company knew that we were going to China, so it entrusted us to find oil."

Lin Yuan asked: "How do the British know that we have oil in China?"

Sowell said: "They are not sure, they have seen an ancient Chinese book called "Book of Changes", in which there is a sentence 'there is fire in the lake', the substance that can burn in the pool is very likely to be Oil, that’s when I thought of sending someone to try it.”

Lin Yuan asked: "But don't you study paleontology? Why did you ask you to find oil?"

Su Weier looked at Lin Yuan suspiciously, and said, "Why didn't we go to find oil?"

Lin Yuan thought for a while, and finally figured it out. Modern oil exploration uses the principles of geology, that is, to see which places have the conditions to generate oil. People who study paleontology also use the principles of geology to find fossils, so they You can also look for oil, but in this era, the classification of disciplines is not very clear, so it is not surprising that paleontologists look for oil.

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "If you foreigners find our Chinese oil, it will be a bad idea, and you will simply cut off your idea of ​​finding oil." So Lin Yuan laughed a few times, laughing so well that Su Weier was confused Shuidi asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Lin Yuan said: "Don't waste your time in vain, it is impossible for China to have oil!"

Sowell asked, "Why?"

Lin Yuan said: "Have you heard of the concept of 'sedimentary facies' in geology?"

Sowell said: "Of course, the earth a long time ago is very different from the present. For example, some places were originally oceans, which were filled with sand and rocks carried by the wind and became the land now. If we dig the land, You will find the sandstones that fill up the sea, and the sandstones of different ages form the strata, and the strata composed of these sandstones are called 'sediments', and the 'sedimentary facies' is the synthesis of various attributes of the 'sedimentation'."

Lin Yuan said: "Yes, sedimentary facies can be roughly divided into two types, one is that the sea has been filled up, we call it marine facies; the other is rivers on land, and lakes have been filled up, we call it It is continental facies, the sedimentary facies of the large oil fields discovered in the world today are all marine facies, and all the sedimentary facies in China are continental facies, so it is impossible to find oil in China!"
