(Add more to Lan Shiyu, ask for a monthly pass at the end of the month~)

Han Xuan postponed his trip to Los Angeles from the afternoon to the night.

What happened just now in the Snow Mountain Ranch, he couldn't leave anyway.

When he saw a miniature version of the Dawaza burning crater about ten meters in diameter suddenly appear on the edge of the former Smith Ranch, he understood why the explosion occurred.

Deep underground, there must be a natural gas field!

It's not for nothing that Montana can be called the "State of Wealth," and it's a land of mineral resources, large and small.

If there is natural gas buried in the ground of the snowy mountain pastures, then some of it makes sense.

Why there are so many methane bubbles in the bubble lake, why the person who fell into the snake cave suddenly faints, why he feels dizzy when standing on the edge of the pit, why there is a big explosion when the fire is lit in the snake cave a kilometer away, and so on, are all explained.

Natural gas is stored in porous rock formations and buried deep underground.

The most likely fire pit is the gas outlet, where natural gas leaks through cracks in the underground rock formations to places like bubble lakes and snake caves.

Because natural gas is lighter than air, it floats upwards if it leaks, and it is colorless and odorless, so it is not dangerous as long as it does not encounter fire, so it has not been detected for many years.

The snake and the marten bear were short, lying at the bottom of the cave and could breathe the oxygen that sank, while the unlucky one who fell into it grew tall and inhaled the thin natural gas that floated above the cave.

The main component of natural gas is methane, which is not toxic, but the air is thin and lacks oxygen, which leads to coma, and it will wake up soon after being rescued.

Household natural gas fuel is only used to make it smell because chemicals such as mercaptan are added so that people can detect leaks.

Otherwise, people would not have noticed that they were sitting in a room full of natural gas and lit a cigarette with a lighter......

Boom!

Once the gas outlet is lit, there is no danger in the future.

Told the tourists about it on the radio, and those people only felt an explosion, except for the old German man Nielmann, who was too old, fainted and fell unconscious, and the other tourists did not even have any minor injuries, at most some scratches.

So they didn't care too much and continued to enjoy the fun of vacationing in the snowy mountain ranch.

Located in the middle of the Karakum Desert in Turkmenistan, there is a huge crater about 70 meters wide called Dawaza.

Locally, the Dawaza crater, also known as the "Gate of Hell", has been burning for more than 20 years and seems to never be extinguished by the ignition of Soviet scientists in 1971 when it was lit by Soviet scientists.

Han Xuan can be sure that there is a natural gas field under the Snow Mountain Ranch.

But it is not known whether it is a pure natural gas field, or whether it produces natural gas because of the oil or coal mines.

In addition, I don't know the size of the reserves, and I don't know if they can be mined, so we need to ask the expedition team to explore them in order to get the answers they want.

Han Xuan had already called Mr. Gregorian, the president of Brown University, and told him what had happened.

This kind of weird thing that can be on the news naturally makes the people of the alma mater stained, and by the way, it is familiar to the old principal, and it is easy to ask for leave in the future

At this moment, after dealing with various things, it was already around half past three in the afternoon.

In a hospital in Helena City, Han Xuan sat on the edge of the hospital bed shaking with Erlang's legs crossed.

Old Neerman was lying in bed, wearing a sub-oxygen mask, and his electrocardiogram was beating every few seconds, and he had not woken up since he fainted at noon.

The doctor said that when he checked old Neerman, he found that Neerman had tuberculosis, which was already at an advanced stage and could not be cured, and coupled with his age, he had only a few months to live.

Old Neerman should know about this, because Han Xuan had just asked people to investigate him and found that since mid-August last year, he has been selling his assets one after another, and now only the ranch and hundreds of thousands of dollars in treatment costs are left.

In total, the company was sold for more than $23 million in cash, half of which went to the International Committee of the Red Cross and half to The Salvation Army, leaving him almost penniless.

About him, it's a complete mystery.

Old Neerman never socialized, nor did he hire servants or housekeepers, but cooked, laundry, and cleaned by himself.

Every morning he walked alone for an hour, and occasionally went to the movies on Saturday nights, but the elder Nierman only chartered the theater and never allowed anyone else to go with it, and the movie theater was his own.

I have no family, no friends, and I am alone all my life.

I only know that in the early sixties, he bought a taxi company in Philadelphia, which suddenly appeared in the United States under his current name.

Han Xuan stared at Nierman's old face boredly, thinking that he was an enigmatic figure.

Today, when the world is still liquidating the heinous crimes committed by the Nazis during World War II, even if they catch an old Nazi who is already seventy or eighty years old, he will be imprisoned.

Countless giants of the World Jewish Congress have spared no effort to find the remnants of the Nazis all over the world, and who would have thought that the United States under their noses has a Nazi living for more than 30 years.

Looking at the cautious style of old Nierman, I don't think it's a small soldier that no one notices.

At least he has to have some status in the Nazis, so that he will be afraid of being recognized, otherwise why hide and not contact others?

Anya stayed at the resort hotel to play with the animals, and didn't come with Han Xuan.

The bodyguards stood at the door, unable to understand why Han Xuan only wanted to stay alone in the ward.

The doctor said that the old Nierman was overfrightened and his condition had stabilized, in fact, Han Xuan could leave, what was there to sympathize with this hateful old man

Until 10 p.m.

Han Xuan dozed off with the book in his hand, and at this time he saw that old Nierman's eyelids moved, and he opened his eyes leisurely.

When the old man first woke up, his eyes were not as sharp as usual, but as he found out where he was, especially when he was changed, his heartbeat suddenly changed from more than seventy times per second to more than one hundred and thirty times!

Han Xuan looked at the line chart with a huge jumping amplitude, coughed lightly, took out the necklace from his pocket, and said, "You're looking for this, right?"

Mr. Nierman, or something else.

Rest assured, I took it off when you passed out, so no one knows you're a Nazi, except me. ”

“…… Once. ”

"What?"

"I used to be a Nazi, and now I'm just an ordinary old man.

After I gave away half of the money I had earned in my life, I had already paid for the sins I had committed when I was younger.

You're not a Jew, you're not a European, unless your ancestors once joined the U.S. military, so there's no conflict between me and you, right?"

Strange to say, old Nierman first woke up, and after a few seconds of a violent heartbeat, he heard Han Xuan say that the necklace was there, and he regained his composure, only more than sixty times.

In the library, Han Xuan had read a lot of books about the German Nazis, and they all said that they were perverts who killed people without blinking, and had never seen a living Nazi like Nilman.

The old man in front of him has a huge attraction to Han Xuan.

With sparkling eyes, he said with a smile: "During World War II, you and Japan were allies, and I hate Japanese militarists, very much.

You Germany have donated a lot of money and weapons to Japan, so in this way, in fact, I have an enmity with you, who made me a Chinese?

Seeing that you are still wearing this necklace shows that you have not really forgotten the past.

I admit that you have done a good deed by donating money to a charitable organization, but a crime is a crime, it has already happened, and it can never be remedied, you can only have peace of mind.

If you are handed over to the Jews, you may gain the friendship of the Jews.

You know, how much it will help my family to improve its political and economic position in the United States.

It's better than this......

I don't say about it, you give me a story, a story about when you were younger. ”

“…… I don't think if you don't talk about it, I'll give you a message about the treasure, and this deal will be even better. ”

Old Neerman turned his head to stare at the ceiling, and said lightly, speaking in an unusually unusual tone, unable to hear the previous meanness, this should be the real him.

"Treasure of the German Nazis?"

Han Xuan immediately became excited, rolled his eyes, and said with a wicked smile: "Then I decided, I won't talk about this matter...... You exchange treasures and stories with me!" )
