"Lieutenant, lieutenant?"
Rommel's cry pulled Qin Chuan back from his contemplation, and Qin Chuan hurriedly responded: "Yes, General!" ”
"This geological scout team is in my unit!" Rommel said, "They followed me all the way down, do you need to talk to them?" ”
"Oh, no, General!" Qin Chuan replied: "I don't think so, they are all experts, aren't they?" ”
In fact, Qin Chuan hadn't figured out what to say.
Tell them directly that there are big oil fields in Borma and Mesauud?
No, this will only be regarded as crazy by them, even if they really get to the oil field and prove that Qin Chuan is right, then Qin Chuan is not far from being interrogated or even dissected as an alien.
"Why not?" Rommel spread his hands and said, "We can't think of a better way anyway, and those people in the detective team have no work to do!" ”
Saying that, Rommel turned to the staff officer and said, "Call Professor Buckhouse for a trip!" ”
"Yes, General!"
Not long after, an old man wearing a cowboy hat and a full beard appeared at the door of the headquarters, he walked to the door, knocked on the door, took the pipe from his mouth, and said, "May I come in?" Checkmate! ”
"Of course!" Rommel put on an enthusiastic look and stood up to welcome the old man.
"Let me introduce you!" Rommel invited the old man in and said, "This is Professor Buckhouse of the Scout!" ”
Professor Buckhouse took off his hat and bowed slightly to the officers: "Salute to you, warriors, you have once again proved the strength of our army with your victory!" ”
"Professor!" Then Rommel said like Professor Buckhouse: "Introduce you to Lieutenant Frick, I think you must have heard of him!" ”
Buckhouse was stunned when he heard this.
"Hello, Professor!" Qin Chuan stepped forward and shook Buckhouse's hand.
"Wow!" Professor Buckhouse's eyes flashed with a strange color: "Of course, I've heard of you, you are the 'legendary sergeant'?" ”
"Yes, Professor!" Qin Chuan said: "It's an honor to meet you!" ”
"The professor talked about you!" Rommel smiled and said to Qin Chuan: "He said that you are an officer with wisdom in battle!" ”
"Yes!" Professor Buckhouse nodded and said, "I don't know anything about military affairs, but Lieutenant ...... I believe that what our army needs more is an officer like you! ”
"Of course!" Rommel couldn't help laughing: "If we had a few more officers like lieutenants in our ranks, the British would have been driven into the sea by us a long time ago!" ”
The officers in the command couldn't help laughing, but a few of them laughed more awkwardly, because the other meaning of this was that they were not as good as Qin Chuan.
"Professor!" Rommel said: "You know, the lieutenant gave us a lot of constructive advice, and it was surprising that ...... Many people couldn't believe or agree with his advice when they first heard it, and some even strongly objected, such as the pit tactics used in this battle! ”
"Uh-huh!" Buckhouse replied, "I heard, General. But...... Does this have anything to do with me? ”
"Yes, Professor!" Rommel glanced at Qin Chuan and said, "He thinks Algeria has oil!" ”
Buckhouse was stunned, and Qin Chuan was also stunned...... He remembered not saying that.
However, Qin Chuan soon understood why Rommel said this.
Rommel was a smart man, he heard the meaning of Qin Chuan's words, and more importantly, ...... Rommel also understood one thing: in this case, there was only one possibility to get the Afrika Korps out of danger, and that was to find oil in Algeria.
So, Rommel set up a trap to put Qin Chuan and Buckhouse in it.
Buckhouse couldn't help but laugh, then coughed a few times.
"General!" After laughing for a while, Buckhouse replied, "You know, if there was oil in the desert, it would have been dried long ago!" ”
The officers burst into laughter, and it was common sense that Buckhouse was right.
"Professor!" Qin Chuan said: "They may be hiding in a deeper place!" ”
"I think it's a waste of time, Lieutenant!" Professor Buckhouse replied: "Actually, we have been in Egypt and Libya before, but it turns out that there is no oil here!" ”
"You must be on the beach, aren't you?" Qin Chuan asked.
"Shouldn't we do that?" Professor Buckhouse asked rhetorically.
After thinking about it, Qin Chuan replied, "How do you think oil is formed?" ”
Professor Buckhouse was stunned for a few moments, and then took a few puffs of his pipe before replying slowly, "The question is still inconclusive, Lieutenant, many people think that the bottom of the sea was formed by mud, but I don't think it's that simple. ”
Qin Chuan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, but he didn't expect that Buckhouse was still a professor who dared to doubt and challenge the current theory.
"I think they may have been formed by marine life!" Professor Buckhouse said: "You know that there are many plants and animals in the ocean, and their carcasses are deposited in the mud on the ocean floor, and they are buried in the ground through the movement of the earth's crust, and at certain temperatures and conditions, it is possible to form oil. In the same way, plants on land are buried in the ground for a long time under high pressure and a certain temperature to form coal! ”
Qin Chuan couldn't help but nodded, Professor Buckhouse's idea was not far from the accepted idea of modern geologists.
But not everyone thinks that oil is formed by marine organisms, and that terrestrial organisms must form coal...... Because it is well known that there is abundant groundwater underground, and organisms buried in the ground in a humid environment can also form oil.
Daqing Oilfield is this kind of scientific proof, because the location of Daqing Oilfield is the continental plate, which was once judged by the West to be oil-free or oil-poor area, but it is this place that has amazing oil reserves.
Of course, how it came to be is still inconclusive even in modern times.
The point is...... Qin Chuan had to convince Professor Buckhouse to go to an area far from the coastline, where oil was available.
"Professor!" Qin Chuan asked: "It takes a long time for oil to form!" ”
"Yes!" Professor Buckhouse said, "It will take at least a few million years!" ”
"So...... Professor! Qin Chuan said: "What if millions of years ago, the desert was once an ocean? ”
General Stryk couldn't help laughing: "So, we are now at war with the British at the bottom of the sea?" ”
The officers couldn't help but laugh.
But Professor Buckhouse didn't smile, he glanced at Qin Chuan with surprised eyes, nodded and said, "Yes, what you said makes sense, if millions of years ago this was an ocean......
