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

Who knew that there was such a scene in front of him: there were two platforms set up in the open space, a group of foreigners stood on one platform, and under the platform were happy villagers, looking at their appearance, they were happier than watching the big play!

There was a cross erected on the high platform on the left, and several priests were holding books as thick as bricks in their hands, Lin Yuan thought to himself that it must be the Bible, and the pastor was talking to the people below, and the people below listened absentmindedly, and their eyes looked at the high platform on the right.

I saw three long tables on the high platform on the right, and several foreigners stood behind the tables dancing and talking about something, and the front of the table was full of villagers, most of whom were children, and their laughter could be heard from afar.

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

When Lin Yuan was wondering, the master said fearfully on the side: "My lord, let's hurry up and call the soldiers, these foreigners are afraid that they have used the soul dementoring technique on this group of children, and after a while, the villagers will understand and kill the foreigners, but it will be amazing!" ”

Lin Yuan ignored the master's fallacy at all, he said, "Let's go, let's go and have a look!" Don't call me Lord when you come to everyone! ”

When he got closer, Lin Yuan saw clearly, it turned out that there were a few paintings on the table, painting all kinds of animals, what made Lin Yuan strange was that those animals looked very strange, the paintings were packed in glass photo frames, and a foreigner was holding them to tell 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, I lived 60 million years ago!" As he spoke, he made a "roar" sound, and in the eyes of the children, it seemed that it was really the funny dinosaur in the painting that was talking, so they all laughed "Ha Lu Ha". When Lin Yuan saw this scene, he couldn't help but "flutter" for a while, and thought: "This foreigner is really childlike, and he has traveled thousands of miles to China to coax children." ”

The master on the side shook his head vigorously, sighed and said: "Strange words, strange sounds, strange behaviors, what kind of system can this become!" ”

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

The children replied in unison: "Birds"

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

The more Lin Yuan thought about it, the more he wondered, on the one hand, there was a missionary, and on the other hand, there was a paleontology exhibition, what did the foreigners want to do, at this moment, Lin Yuan was patted on the shoulder, Lin Yuan turned around, and saw a familiar face appear in front of him, that person turned out to be Henry Dunant who came to investigate the prisoner of war camp some time ago!

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

Dunant pulled Lin Yuan to the back of the stage and sat down, and said, "I'm purely here to relax in China. ”

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

Dunant laughed when he heard this, and said, "On the platform on the left are people from the church, who have come to China to preach, and on the platform on the right are a group of paleontologists, my compatriots, the Swiss, who have come to China to find oil." ”

Lin Yuan asked again: "These two groups of people are not compatible, how can they sing on the stage?" ”

Dunant smiled even more happily and said, "The priests insisted that human beings were created by God, and the paleontologists insisted that humans were transformed from monkeys, and they started arguing from the boat, and they didn't get any results on the boat, and they went ashore and continued to argue, as soon as the priests took out the crosses, opened the Bible, and persuaded people to become Christians, the paleontologists set up the table, took out the specimen picture book, and told everyone that God does not exist." ”

Lin Yuan suddenly thought of something and asked, "You're not wrong, are they paleontologists?" So why did you come to find oil? ”

At this moment, the foreigner on the stage just now came over and saw Dunan and Lin Yuan talking, so he walked over, stretched out his hand at Lin Yuan, and said with a smile: "Are you a Chinese friend of Mr. Dear Dunan?" My name is Suwell, and it's a pleasure to meet you! ”

Lin Yuan shook hands with him, and before he could say his question, Su Wei said, "Do you know the truth?" The Bible says that God created human beings, but there is all kinds of evidence that all the creatures in the world are transformed from the most primitive creatures, so there is no God at all. ”

Lin Yuan smiled and nodded, and Su Wei glanced disdainfully at the priest on the left stage, and said, "They are British, and they think they are the saviors every day, and they 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 coming to China, so he entrusted us to find oil. ”

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

"They weren't sure, but they had seen an ancient Chinese book called the Book of Changes, which contained a sentence that 'there is fire in the water,' and the substance that can burn in the pool is probably oil, so they thought of sending someone to give it a try," said Suwell. ”

Lin Yuan asked, "But aren't you studying paleontology?" Why do you go looking for oil? ”

Su Wei looked at Lin Yuan suspiciously, and said, "Why don't we go to find oil?" ”

Lin Yuan thought about it and finally figured it out, modern oil exploration uses the principles of geology, that is, to see which places have the conditions for generating oil, and people who study paleontology should also use the principles of geology to find fossils, so they can also look for oil, and in this era, the classification of disciplines is not very clear, and it is not strange for paleontologists to find oil.

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "If we Chinese oil are found by you foreigners, it will not be good, so I simply cut off your idea of looking for oil." So Lin Yuanda laughed a few times, laughing so much that Su Wei asked confusedly, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "Don't waste your work in vain, there is no oil in this part of China!" ”

Sowell asked, "For what?" ”

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

"Of course, the earth a long time ago was very different from what it is now, for example, there are places that were originally oceans, and the sand and gravel carried by the wind filled in the land, and it became the current land, and if we dig up the land, we will find the sand and gravel that filled the sea, and the sand and gravel of different eras formed strata, and the strata composed of these sand and gravel are called 'sedimentary', and the 'sedimentary facies' are the synthesis of various attributes of 'sediment'." ”

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