Chapter 663 - Something Too Good Gets Hot to Burn

"Head Liu, what are you laughing at? Is there anything wrong with what the gentleman just said? The genius girl was the first to discover the abnormality on Liu Lang's face.

"Ahem, Professor Ye's first point just now is very correct, but the latter Liu Lang doesn't dare to agree." Liu Lang opened his mouth and replied.

"Oh? Head Liu, let's talk about it? Ye Qisun's face was slightly strange.

China's lack of oil is the result of the unanimous conclusion of Chinese geologists and Western geologists, is it possible that this head Liu, who has always liked to speak amazingly, has some strange conclusions? However, Comrade Lao Ye is still looking forward to Liu Lang's point of view, because he doesn't seem to have talked nonsense, but everything he says is true.

"I don't know what geology is, and I don't know how the so-called geologists in the West came to the conclusion that our country is short of oil, but I know how oil is constituted, but oil, like coal and natural gas, is gradually formed by ancient organic matter through a long period of compression and heating.

According to the modern marine theory of the West, that is, oil was formed by the changes of prehistoric marine animals and algae corpses. Plants on land generally form coal. Over a long geological time, these organic matter mixed with silt and was buried under thick sedimentary rocks. At high temperatures and pressures underground, they are gradually transformed, first forming waxy oil shale and later degenerating into liquid and gaseous hydrocarbons. Because these hydrocarbons are lighter than nearby rocks, they penetrate upwards into nearby rock formations until they penetrate into the tightly impermeable, inherently empty rock formations above. In this way, the oil that comes together forms an oil field. By drilling and pumping, one can get oil from the oil fields.

Professor Ye should know that China discovered oil in the Western Regions as early as the Han Dynasty, why is there oil in the Gobi and deserts in the Western Regions? That's because hundreds of millions or even billions of years ago, there used to be oceans, and there were conditions there.

Why did the American Mobil Company drill more than a dozen deep wells in several provinces of China 20 years ago and did not find oil, so it judged China to be an oil-poor country? It is also based on this theory.

However, in ancient times, was China's tens of millions of square kilometers of land all land? Judging from the rock formations of the Qinling Mountains, a long, long time ago, this was once an ocean, if not an ocean, but also a large land lake, and it also had the conditions for the formation of oil.

Of course, the most important point is that since there is natural gas in Sichuan, and the conditions for the formation of natural gas and oil are similar, then there must be oil here. I even dare to assert that there are many places in China that have oil, but we don't have the technology to discover it now. Liu Lang said confidently.

"Captain Liu, you studied geology in college!" The genius girl's gaze at Liu Lang was simply adoring.

Liu Lang's theory is definitely something she has never heard of, and it sounds very reasonable.

The admiring eyes of the future master made Liu Lang's scalp a little numb, what he just said, of course, in the future, it is a bunch of things to check on Du Niang, but for this era, it is indeed fresh, especially for two people who are engaged in physics.

On top of that, the people who invented this theory, called the "terrestrial oil theory," were not here, and the maturity of this theory would not be until a few years later when the famous geologists discovered oil fields in Xinjiang and Gansu.

"No, this is something that I met a year ago when I met a geologist who was in Sichuan and was doing this remarkable and hard work." Liu Lang did not blush and threw this on the future geologist and the current Xiaohuang expert.

Anyway, that set of theories also has his share of credit, and twenty years later, he and Uncle Li discovered the first large-scale oil field in the future republic, and this honor was thrown to him, and there was nothing wrong with it.

"This man, incredible, is definitely an elite in geology." Ye Qisun glanced at Liu Lang with deep meaning.

He wasn't as foolish as his now-teenage student.

"Absolute elite, I'll introduce you to you another day. It's a pity! Even if we find oil in Sichuan, our independent regiment won't need it for the time being! Liu Lang sighed slightly.

Oil is a good thing, but Liu Lang is really not too keen on it now. Some things are too good, but they will attract covetousness, just like the big iron mine in the mountain behind the independent regiment, which can obviously expand production, but in order to ensure sufficient benefits, it can only reduce the scale of production.

Even if he and the independent regiment now have a certain combat effectiveness, they are still not worth mentioning in front of the behemoth of the national government.

It's the same with oil, and if it does, what kind of sensation will it cause? As the central government, how could it let go of such scarce war resources? In the Sichuan Basin, in the next 80 years, as many as 12 large and small oil fields will be discovered.

Although Liu Lang had already mentioned the approximate location of the discovered oil fields in his memory to the future geologists, to be honest, firstly, Liu Lang did not have much hope for this, and secondly, he just wanted to drag him in Sichuan for a period of time, and it was best to find some other mines. Oil is a hot thing, and if you really want to find it, it is still a dilemma for Liu Lang.

Handed over to the Chinese Commercial Group? That's obviously a bit of looking for death, how can the interests of the country be decided by your private group? Don't look at the Huashang Group has a little money, but Liu Lang knows that no matter in that dynasty, no matter how rich you are, in front of the power and the state machine, it is a fattened pig, and whenever the big guy wants to eat meat, he can slaughter and drink for you.

Handed over to Sichuan boss Liu Xiang to deal with? This is obviously a bit of a pit, although the oil is good, but it is definitely a hot potato if it is too good, and more importantly, Liu Xiang will not let go when he sees this piece of fat. For this kind of scarce resources that are unique to China, who is loose and who is stupid! However, will the government let it go? Categorically not. Just like Comrade Lao Ye worried, I'm afraid it depends on whose fists are hard.

The last one, to the government? That Liu Lang can't fall well, not only does he make wedding clothes for the bald boss in vain, but I am afraid that a large number of forces will intervene in Sichuan, and the situation in Sichuan that has just stabilized will rise again, which is definitely not something that Liu Lang, who needs a stable Sichuan to slowly develop and prepare for the big war in four years.

Liu Lang just finished prevaricating.

"Oil is useless for the Separate Regiment? Oh my God, Captain Liu, how could you make such a common-sense mistake? The genius girl seemed to see an idiot and opened her mouth wide.

"Oil can be refined into gasoline, which allows you to buy a car without running out of gas; Oil can also be refined into aviation kerosene, which can be used to drive planes without shortage of fuel; And more importantly, it is simply too important to be able to use it as fuel for the future main artillery shells of the independent regiment. The genius girl began a set of rhetoric in an attempt to change Liu Lang's dismissive view of oil.

Liu Lang。。。。。。

If you do this again, you will have no friends.

Resources, are in the service of war, but more often than not, war is in the service of politics.

Liu Lang couldn't explain these things clearly to the genius girl.

However, there are some things that you can't escape if you want to. Just like Cao Cao, he has always run fast.

Xiao Fenghua walked into the small courtyard quickly.

His face was happy and a little dignified.
