Volume of Changning Kingdom: Section 17 Oil Seedlings and Cyclones
"He often abuses me like this." Anna pretended to be pitiful, "If he knew about my running away, he would definitely beat me to death..." She covered her face and started to cry.
Cui Yongfang was immediately in a hurry and said quickly: "It doesn't matter! We are here! We..."
He wanted to continue talking, but his master gave him a hard look before he shut his mouth.
Even though Cui Yunhong is a gay, he understands women's little tricks much better than straight men. Seeing Wu Tingwei and Huang Lu also filled with indignation, as if they were trying to take over her, he quickly waved his hand to signal them to shut up.
Mouth said:
"You go to the camp to have a rest and eat something..."
"Are you going to send me back? I will be beaten to death by him. He prepared a cowhide whip... the kind used to whip slaves... wuwuwu..." Anna cried and observed from the gaps between her fingers.
them.
Cui Yunhong originally wanted to refuse sternly, but when she saw that the people around her looked intolerable, she couldn't displease them. She then said: "You can stay with us for the time being. But I want to send a letter to your father."
, so as not to worry him. I will send someone to send you back during the next supply time."
"Please tell him that I am seriously ill and cannot withstand the bumps of the journey." Anna said immediately, "I need a long period of rest."
"ok, I get it!"
"Thank you, Mr. Cui!" Anna happily bent down to Cui Yunhong and curtsied deeply, then turned her head and winked at Cui Yongfang with a smile, which immediately made Cui Yongfang uneasy.
"Although the chief has left you here, you must know that running around like this is very dangerous." Cui Yongfang unknowingly raised his voice a few degrees, while Cui Yunhong looked at Cui Yongfang's anxious look and couldn't help but cursed in her heart:
"This guy is so interested in Anna, does he have feelings for her? Damn! The loss is huge now..."
Then he immediately thought of a new problem: "But we don't have any suitable ladies here who can serve you. You have to live among a group of grown men... This is not suitable."
"Don't you bring a lot of maids to cook? I can also be a maid for you. I can cook, wash clothes and clean the room - all the housework in the business station is done by me and the maid."
Anna immediately made it clear that she did not "eat for free".
The exploration team did bring five or six naturalized women to do the logistics work. Cui Yunhong thought this arrangement was okay. She nodded and said, "That's it. You help in the logistics team."
"Old Cui, where does she live? There are men in the camp, so it's not very convenient." Wu Tingwei reminded.
Huang Lu hurriedly said: "I will arrange for her to live in my cabin on the ship - after all, she is Mr. Basten's daughter, so we can't be too negligent. I can live in the office on the shore."
Cui Yunhong hoped that it was his son who was here, but you were not so enthusiastic!
"I think it's better to set up a separate compartment for her next to the women's shack in the logistics team. I wouldn't worry about her living anywhere else..." Cui Yunhong said as she glanced over at Huang Lu.
"Damn it! Lao Cui, why are you looking at me like that? Am I, Huang Lu, such a person?!"
"You remember she is only fifteen years old. If you have this intention, you are breaking the law!"
"I'm a veteran!"
"Even if you are a senator, you must abide by the law! According to our marriage law, the legal age for marriage is sixteen years old!"
"Who said I was going to marry her?"
"Ah? So you are such a beast."
Anna didn't know what they were arguing about, but she had succeeded in deciding to take her in. She couldn't help but be filled with joy, and couldn't help but say: "Are you here to explore? I want to join in too!" She originally cried.
The red eyes suddenly returned to the big eyes of a girl full of curiosity.
"You can stay here, but you must obey the orders and not wander around." Cui Yunhong said, "Unless you agree with us to set off with the team, you cannot leave the fence of the camp. Do you understand?"
I don’t know whether it’s because of the destiny of the Senate or because there is so much oil in Brunei that it can come out of the ground. The exploration team is still in the stage of drilling big wells, and signs of oil seedlings were found in wells No. 4 and No. 7... Looking at
Black and sticky oil flowed out from the wellhead. Wu Tingwei and Huang Lu were happy and worried. The happy thing was that there were oil seedlings, indicating that the place was probably in the right place, but the sad thing was that the oil was so thick that it was almost solidifying.
"It doesn't look like the legendary Brunei light oil that can be poured into ijn's diesel engine and run across the Pacific Ocean.
"It looks like heavy oil." Wu Tingwei muttered.
"No way, isn't it said that the oil here in Silia is high-quality light oil and can be added directly to the diesel engine? Isn't there a mistake in the place?"
"It's not necessarily true that when we first started looking for oil in Southeast Asia, we first looked for asphalt lakes. Our information is all about the late development of Silia. I really can't tell what the situation was like when it was first developed." Wu Tingwei was right.
I am very confident in my choice of site, "But we still have to call Lingao immediately to see if we can find early information on the development of the Siya Oil Field in the big picture. The real situation of the Siya Oil Field is probably not what we have always thought.
!”
The telegram carrying Silia's oil situation was sent back to Lingao at the speed of light, while the tropical cyclone carrying abundant water vapor from the equator from the southwest slowly hit the highest peak in Borneo - Mount Kinabalu head-on.
Precipitation then splashed on the land of Bo Ni behind it. Heavy rain hit the ground, and the exploration team stopped operations due to the arrival of the cyclone. The cyclone activity at the end of the rainy season in Borneo was not very intense, and the workers were all moved in.
In the sturdy wooden house, the entire exploration team also received a rare break.
Anna naturally stopped her field expeditions to collect plant specimens, and stayed on the "Hailan" to study Chinese with Cui Yunhong and Cui Yongfang.
"Teacher Cui, do you think this rain is caused by the water on the ground moving to the sky and falling again? But my mother told me that rain is a gift from God to humans. What exactly is it like?"
"Who do you think has a point?"
"Uh...I don't know...but I only see rain falling from the sky, and I have never seen water running back up to the sky?" Anna blinked and stared at Cui Yunhong with her big curious eyes.
During this period of time, she had contact with Cui Yunhong and Cui Yongfang. In her mind, the eternally correct God no longer had any unattainable majesty. Anna learned to think and ask questions on her own - of course, for Cui Yunhong, there was one more person to ask questions.
"Why not? Think about it, when you boil water, aren't there water droplets everywhere on the lid of the kettle?" Cui Yongfang reminded Anna on the side, "Isn't that water vapor rising into the air?"
"But the steam dissipated quickly."
"No, they are actually still in the air. When they encounter a pot lid with a low temperature, they condense into liquid water, and then turn back into water droplets and flow back..."
"leng ling ? What does it mean?" Anna's Eastern ancestry obviously makes her learn Chinese very quickly, but apart from the vocabulary for daily communication, she really doesn't know much Chinese.
"Condensation is when water vapor changes from gaseous state to water..." Cui Yunhong felt that there were pits everywhere.
"But why does water vapor turn into water when it touches something cold?"
"This involves the transformation between the three major properties of matter..." Cui Yunhong tried hard to recall the middle school textbook.
The three-state transformation of matter is a common physical phenomenon. European alchemists and Chinese alchemists have long noticed this physical phenomenon. However, for ordinary people, they have not studied it systematically, and naturally they have no way to do it.
learn.
"When the temperature is very high, water will turn into water vapor and float into the air. When the high-temperature water vapor hits something with a low temperature, it will condense and turn into flowing water again... This is how clouds are formed. Water vapor rises to a distance
One league above the ground, the temperature there is very low, and water vapor forms water mist, so the clouds in the sky and the mist produced by boiling water are the same thing..." Cui Yunhong felt that she could no longer hold back...
"Teacher Cui..." Anna suddenly looked at Cui Yunhong with a mysterious face: "Then...is it cold in the sky? Isn't there a warm heaven above the clouds? Aren't there angels and our families living above the clouds?"
"No, there are no angels on the clouds, and there is no heaven on the clouds. Clouds are just a collection of water vapor." Cui Yunhong said firmly.
"Then my mother is not in the sky?" Anna's eyes seemed to be covered with mist, and she asked unwillingly with a slightly stern voice: "What about the stars and the moon? They are on the clouds, right?
, Angels must all live in the stars, right?”
"Well, how did you know that the kingdom of heaven is above the clouds?"
"Mr. Dante said..."
"Oh, oh." Cui Yunhong probably remembers this Italian poet. Although he has not read his Divine Comedy, he also knows that this work describes the three parts of heaven, purgatory and hell in great detail. Anna's imagination about heaven
Probably from here.
However, he has never heard Anna talk about her mother. Logically speaking, her mother is a Fujianese and is unlikely to be a Christian...
"The stars and the moon are very, very far away from us..." Cui Yunhong suddenly realized that he had touched Anna's sadness, "Anna, let me tell you a story..."
"Yeah! I like to listen to stories the most." Anna's gloomy expression regained some energy when she heard that there was a story to listen to. "I like to listen to stories the most. When I was a child, my father would tell us some interesting stories from the Bible every night.
…”
"Above the clouds, above the moon, very, very far away from us is a place called the M78 Nebula..."
"How far? Is it further than from us to Amsterdam? God, that's a hell of a long way..."
