The Steam Reduction School is a civil science organization established at the beginning of this century. The most important feature of this organization is that it is committed to steam retro activities.
The so-called steam retro activities use the technology of the steam age to create products of modern technology. They created steam cars, steam planes, steam computers and steam radio stations...
Li Banfeng has seen steam cars, and steam planes have been seen in some historical materials. What is a steam computer?
Tang Yuan introduced the principle of the difference engine to Li Banfeng. This kind of mechanical computer that had not been successfully built in history was successfully built by the Steam Reduction Party.
This reminded Li Banfeng of the retro craze that was popular in college. Many teachers and students in the Department of Mechanical Engineering were keen on restoring mechanical equipment from ancient times, the most typical of which was the famous Wooden Ox and Flowing Horse.
Steam computers are also within the understandable category, but how should we explain steam radio stations? "We already have radio stations, so what else can we say about steam?"
Chen Changrui explained: "Steam radio is a code name for steam communication equipment. Different from modern communication equipment, this communication equipment is realized through the steam pipe network." Tangyuan took out the drawing of the steam radio. The transmitter of the signal used machinery.
Adjust the gate to control the steam pressure, and realize signal transmission through pressure changes.
For modern technology, this kind of communication method that is bulky, complex to operate, and has extremely low fault tolerance is of almost no value, but it is a very important achievement of the steam reductionists.
Li Banfeng reviewed such achievements from beginning to end and came to the conclusion: "With their technical level, they will never be able to create complex mechanical equipment like a spherical life form."
Tangyuan disagrees: "These are the historically confirmed research results of the steam reduction sect. In the past three years, we have less information on them, and it is difficult to speculate to what extent their technology has progressed."
Li Banfeng asked: "In the past three years, you have not investigated this organization again?" "Our investigation has never been interrupted. This is the past three years that we have obtained various clues."
Li Banfeng read the archives and found that two years ago, in Wuyang Province, an abandoned mechanical processing factory was put into operation again. Its production efficiency exceeded that of many surrounding companies. It was once listed as an advanced model by local media for publicity and reporting.
"Because this machinery processing factory purchased a large amount of coal, it attracted the attention of colleagues from Wuyang Branch. They sent people to conduct an unannounced visit to the factory and discovered that the main equipment of the factory is driven by steam.
This abnormal technical method attracted the great attention of the Wu Yang Branch. When they were about to conduct an in-depth investigation of the factory, all the people in the factory disappeared." Li Banfeng didn't quite understand what Tang Yuan meant: "You
Do you mean the boss disappeared, or the workers disappeared?”
"All gone."
"How many workers do they have? It's impossible for so many workers to run away with the boss, right?"
Tangyuan took out another piece of information: "According to the relevant registration information of this company, their person in charge is named He Yunfei. This person is indeed an entrepreneur. His files and information can be found.
The identities of several key personnel of this factory were also found, but the whereabouts of these people were not found at that time.
In addition to them, there are more than 100 workers registered in this factory, but their identities have not yet been determined. The identity information registered in the factory is all forged, and there is no trace of the family members of these workers.
According to our speculation, these workers should be quasi-artificial intelligence products, which are what we often call robots." "Steam robots?"
"We are currently unable to deduce what type of robots they are, but since they are made by steam reductionists, these robots are most likely powered by steam. This is a news report left by the factory at the time."
Li Banfeng read the newspaper. In the photo in the newspaper, there were busy workers standing next to the machine tools. They had different types of work, and their working movements and expressions were also different. "These can't be steam robots." Li Banfeng shook his head and said
The newspaper was put aside.
In Li Banfeng's opinion, the "dummy" made in Neizhou already represents the limit of steam technology, but these dummies must have external equipment, including fans, teapots, foreign cars and the like.
Looking at the workers in this newspaper, many of them are working with bare hands, and there is no trace of external equipment. Could it be that three years ago, the steam reductionists already had technology that surpassed Neizhou?
Li Banfeng suspected that this was a fake, but everyone who had investigated the case believed it was true. Tangyuan cited several more cases:
The year before last, there was an underground clothing processing workshop in the country of Amican. Its production efficiency exceeded that of a regular factory. After inspection, it was found that the person in charge of this clothing workshop was also He Yunfei.
Last year, in the country of Autuili, a construction company purchased hundreds of thousands of tons of coal a year. After investigation, it was found that the person in charge of this construction company was also He Yunfei.
A series of clues are in front of us, all proving one thing. He Yunfei is the leader of the Steam Reduction Sect. This organization has strong technical strength and a wide distribution range. Tang Yuan brought up the most recent case: "This year, the Steam Reduction Sect
He had been active in Minyue Province, but we did not conduct an investigation at that time."
"Why wasn't there an investigation?"
The second grader replied: "Because there was going to be a war at that time."
At that time, it happened to coincide with the war in Ruirong Textile Factory, and the case of the Steam Reduction Sect was temporarily shelved. When the Minyue Branch investigated the matter afterwards, it was found that the Steam Reduction Sect behaved exactly the same as before and suddenly disappeared from the world.
.
There are so many clues, but no trace can be found. Such sophisticated means are amazing.
Now that the steam reductionists have severely damaged the special operations team, this case that has always been unclear and unable to be put aside has finally been put in an urgent position. The agents are very excited, including Chen Changrui.
Such gorgeous means of committing crimes and such rich investigation clues make everyone who has learned investigative reasoning unable to help but try it. Chen Changrui suggested suspending all work and going all out to investigate the steam reduction sect.
This is not wrong. This case is related to nearly a hundred lives of the special operations team, and its importance must be higher than other cases.
After the meeting, the second grader asked Bulb: "Are you still checking that matter? I have made an appointment with the laboratory, and we can do the experiment tomorrow morning." Bulb rubbed his face and said, "What time is it? You still need to check.
That piece of shit, what do you think?"
.
Li Banfeng had never systematically studied investigation, but seeing such a challenging case, he had the idea of ​​​​starting an investigation.
He first sorted out clues from past cases, and it was not until early the next morning that Li Banfeng realized that he had not slept all night. Although he was a three-plus-two cultivator in the clouds, under the high-intensity mental operation, Li Banfeng
Ban Feng was still a little tired.
He brought the relevant information about the case and returned to his home, ready to catch up on some sleep. Before going to bed, he was still looking at the chain of clues, and he always felt that he had overlooked something. The lady looked distressed and quickly advised: "My dear husband, have a good sleep."
Well, your eyes are all bloodshot."
Li Banfeng rubbed his eyes and fell asleep.
After sleeping for less than fifteen minutes, Li Banfeng turned over and sat up, muttering to himself: "There's something wrong, it seems like a lot is missing!" After saying that, Li Banfeng continued to look at the clues.
The record player was puzzled: "What good thing is so beautiful?" "It's a case, do you want to see it?"
"I don't have time to look at this, and I'm still thinking about the tracker. Let's show it to Hong Ying."
Hong Ying took a look, shook her head repeatedly and said: "Qi Lang, don't make it difficult for me. I really can't understand this thing. Just tell me where this person named He Yunfei is, and I will go out and help you kill him."
Already."
Li Banfeng smiled bitterly: "If I could find him, I would have killed him long ago."
The lady suggested: "My husband, why don't you show it to Bafang? He likes it."
"Isn't the eighth room considered a repair?"
"The calculation cultivator has a clear mind. There are many high-level calculation cultivators who are good at solving cases."
Li Banfeng took the information to the eighth room. The eighth room read the information and thought about it for more than half an hour. He sighed repeatedly: "Surely this is true. I didn't expect that I can still see this thing today."
Bafang really saw some mystery, and Li Banfeng was very happy.
But Bafang didn't intend to tell the mystery directly: "Is it appropriate for you to come to me for advice, empty-handed?" This is being unreasonable.
What people say makes sense, it is really not easy to ask for help with nothing.
Li Banfeng returned to the main room to look for gifts for the eighth room. Hong Ying asked for details, picked up a stick and entered the eighth room: "It's not appropriate to be empty-handed. I'm here to copy the gift."
"I just figured it out, you can't hit anyone!" Bafang sent Hong Ying away in a polite manner, invited Li Banfeng back, and directly told the answer, "This is a question with ten thousand answers."
“What is Wanjieji?”
"Have you ever been to school?" Bafang has this kind of temperament. As long as Hong Ying is not around, he will be a bit aloof. Li Banfeng doesn't mind at all: "I have been to school for many years."
"When you were in school, did you ever encounter such a problem that seemed difficult to solve, but there were many ways to solve it, but in the end, you just couldn't solve it?" Li Banfeng recalled for a moment and nodded.
He said: "Yes."
"This type of question is the predecessor of Wanjieji. Wanjie is better at doing it, because there is a calculation technique called Wanjie. This is a high-level calculation technique. I have seen it twice before.
, this kind of question is definitely unsolvable, you must not waste your efforts on this question."
Li Banfeng frowned and said, "Why do you say there is no solution? There are so many clues here."
"It's useless to have clues, because the thing itself doesn't make sense. You all watch the Steam Reduction Sect disappear, and you all want to catch their whereabouts, but you have never thought about what their purpose is in doing these things, and whether it is of any value?
"
"How can it be worthless?"
"Where is the value? You said they can use steam engines to make machine workers. If they really have this technology, why would they open a mechanical processing factory? How much money do you think the mechanical processing factory can help them make? This factory can recover the cost they invest.
What?
The one in Amican is even more of a joke. Using such advanced technology to set up an underground clothing workshop, let alone how much profit they can make, even if it is just to show off, what kind of reputation can an underground workshop earn them?
The superb technology and elusive whereabouts are all a cover for this million-dollar problem, which makes ordinary people ignore the root cause of the problem and ignore their actual motives. You are a high-level home builder with the skills to sit back and relax. You are at home.
After staying for a while, you can figure out the ins and outs of this.
Take the case you just experienced. This steam sect severely damaged the special operations team, and it seems to have achieved good results. However, no matter how advanced the technology is, no matter how gorgeous the techniques are, it cannot hide the fact that this matter is harmful to them.
Said there was not enough value,
There are so many things that can be done with a precious invisible space and a batch of advanced intelligent mechanical equipment. Why do they have to create such an attack? Don't say that they are just for fame, the cost is too high.
.”
Li Banfeng rubbed his cheeks vigorously and gradually became more awake.
Bafang was right. Why did they do this? Just to target the special operations team? No.
Their initial target was not the Special Operations Team, but the light bulb. It was the light bulb that discovered the invisible space and locked it immediately.
Was it possible for the light bulb to enter the invisible space at that time?
Even if it were possible, why spend such a huge amount of money just to deal with a light bulb?
Is there something else going on with the light bulb?
The next day, Li Banfeng called Bulb and Zhong Er to the office.
"You said yesterday that you wanted to investigate something, and you also mentioned the laboratory. What was it?"
Bulb rubbed his face and said with a smile: "It's not a big deal. This kind of thing shouldn't take up the resources of the bureau. I corrected it after I realized the mistake. There is no need for a laboratory."
Zhong Er shook his head and said: "I think the matter is not trivial. Now let's investigate the Steam Reduction Sect. After we have been busy for a while, we will have to investigate this matter carefully."
Li Banfeng said: "Don't wait until you are done with your work. Let's talk about it now. What is going on?"
Lan Lan was still a little embarrassed, so the second grader said for him: "We have a new intern girl, and Lan Lan fell in love with her, and asked her out for coffee at noon that day, and the girl agreed.
He had eaten too many concoctions in the past two days. As he was growing up, his face was oily and smelled bad. I saw the cream on Sister Mizuo’s table, so I told him, and he took it and used it. He wanted to cover it up.
Cover the smell on your face,
After using it, Bulb's face was dry at noon that day. It was very uncomfortable and I couldn't recover for several days. I went to ask Candied Fruit what was going on.
Honey said that I was a pervert when I used her cream, and I said it was for light bulbs. She said that no matter who used it, I was a pervert anyway. I thought there was something wrong with this cream, so I contacted the laboratory to check it."
Bulb smiled and said: "Zhong Er is not very smart. Sister Mifen has taken a liking to him, but he doesn't know it.
Let me tell you about the second grade. In terms of looks, besides Tangyuan, who in our bureau can compare to Mizuo? He is Tangyuan and Ding Qiye, and Mizuo is the most handsome one. Why don’t you seize the opportunity?
Sister Mi’s position has been promoted, her income has increased, and she has a car. It is said that she will buy a house in the next two days. If you follow her, how many years of hard work will be saved? You can just have fun!" Li Banfeng frowned and said: "First of all
Let’s not talk about this. Let’s talk about facial cream first. Don’t you use oil repair? Why can’t your face be dry?”
The second grader nodded and said, "That's the problem. Honey said her cream is oil-controlling, so it's impossible for Oil Repair to control oil. This is unreasonable, so I checked it for him."
Li Banfeng called Mizu: "Bring your face cream over and let me use it."
"Ah?" Mimei was stunned on the other end of the phone, "Bureau Li, you, are you going to..."
"The second grader has taken a liking to your facial cream, I'm sorry to talk to you!"
"Okay, I'll deliver it in a minute."
The second grader looked at Li Banfeng in shock: "Li Bureau, we can't do this..."
The candied fruit soon brought the cream, and before leaving, he rolled his eyes at Zhongji: "Pervert!"
Li Banfeng took the facial cream and sent it directly to the laboratory. Seeing Bureau Li coming, the laboratory put other projects aside and gave priority to testing this bottle of facial cream.
After the test, the laboratory technician made a preliminary judgment: "Director Li, this is a typical fake and shoddy product. There is no material in it that can control oil."
Bulb shook his head and said: "Isn't this nonsense? Even the oil on my face has been wiped out, and you still say that I don't have any materials?"
"No, logically speaking, it should be..." After hearing what Bulb said, the laboratory technician was also a little unconfident.
Li Banfeng said: "Don't take it logically, just try it with oil!"
"Oil..." the laboratory technician thought for a while, "Oil control on the epidermis means controlling fat. I'll get some animal fat to try."
When animal fat was dropped on the face cream sample, there was no obvious reaction. The laboratory technician shrugged his eyebrows and said: "Director Li, as you can see, it is indeed of no use.
"Wait a little longer."
After waiting for more than twenty minutes, the animal fat suddenly decreased rapidly and disappeared in a short period of time.
The laboratory technician was startled and quickly put the sample back on the test table, thinking about what reagents to use for the experiment.
Li Banfeng looked worried: "Don't use the reagents yet, put it under a microscope and take a look."
"This, this chemical change involves molecular structure, and it is difficult to distinguish it with an optical microscope."
"Then get an electron microscope and take a look!"
The electron microscope was sent for repair. Li Qi was urging the laboratory technician so hard that the laboratory technician had no choice but to find an optical microscope with the highest magnification and take a look. At this sight, the laboratory laboratory technician was startled: "It's alive, it's alive, it's alive."
body!"
Li Banfeng lay on the lens tube and looked at it for a long time: "What kind of life form are you talking about? I can't see it!"
"Look here, there is a cell structure. Bureau Li, I really didn't see it just now. I also used the microscope just now. It wasn't there at that time..." Li Banfeng waved his hand and said: "Don't talk about this now, you can change it."
Sample, get some more fat and try again!"
The laboratory technician took another sample and added drops of animal fat.
Under the microscope, there was no change at first. After waiting for nearly half an hour, cell structures appeared in the cream sample.
The laboratory technician applied dye to the cells. Li Banfeng could see very clearly this time. The cells grew rapidly on the surface of the cream and continued to divide one by one. Li Banfeng felt itchy all over.
Bulb was also frightened: "The same can be said for Mizu's face. Is this the same on my face?" Li Banfeng asked the second grader to quickly find Mizu and isolate them with Bulb.
"Ask where you bought the preserves and facial cream, gather people, investigate immediately, and find the manufacturer." "We have all the people to check the steam reduction pie."
"Don't worry about the Steam Pie. Everyone has dropped everything and just investigated this one thing!" As the second grader was about to leave, he was stopped by Li Banfeng again.
Bulb discovered the invisible space while escorting the tracker. If he had the slightest impulse and entered the invisible space, he might die.
Although he didn't go in, it was precisely because of the invisible space that the Steam Reduction Faction was implicated, and the energy of the entire Dark Star Bureau was implicated. The matter of the lightbulb having no oil on its face was settled.
.
This thing is about light bulbs.
Some people know that Lamp uses candied fruit cream. Some people know that Lamp needs to investigate the cream!
Someone is deliberately distracting! There is a mole in the bureau!
The mole is most likely in the security team, or of course in the laboratory.
Li Banfeng said to the second grader: "Don't notify the team, ask the chief of the investigation section to come to the laboratory to find me." The second grader nodded, and soon the chief of the investigation section was called.
Li Banfeng didn't talk about the facial cream first. He asked the laboratory technician: "Is everyone in the laboratory on duty?" "They are all here today."
Li Banfeng said to the chief of the investigation section: "Ask all laboratory personnel to hand over communication equipment and block communication signals." The laboratory technician was stunned: "Bureau Li, we are here..."
"I didn't say there was anything wrong with you. You can continue to experiment here with peace of mind to find out the nature of this cream. You must be careful not to let yourself get infected." The investigation section chief immediately started working and blocked the signal first.
Cut off the landline phone and put away the communication equipment.
Li Banfeng told the chief of the investigation department about the situation: "You need to find someone absolutely reliable to handle this matter. Once the news leaks out, all the responsibilities will fall on you alone!"
The head of the investigation section did not dare to neglect and went to work immediately.
After a while, the second grader called Mizu over. When he heard that he was going to be quarantined, Mizu didn't know what had happened.
When asked about the face cream, Mimei replied: "I bought it online. This cream is very popular. It has very good oil control effect and is very long-lasting."
Bulb said with a sad face: "Can the effect be bad? They are all alive. Our faces have become a breeding base. Even I think it's dry. How do you hold it?" Miji said: "What are you afraid of if you do it?
I have oily skin, and my face feels uncomfortable when I sweat!”
Li Banfeng asked the laboratory to do tests on these two people.
The test results came out quickly. There were a large number of microorganisms of unknown origin on the skin of the candied fruit, which was the cell structure they saw under the microscope. The density of microorganisms on the skin of the bulb was more than six times that of the candied fruit.
The laboratory conducted a preliminary analysis of the results: This microorganism is similar to fungi and initially lurks in the face cream in the form of spores. Because the individuals are so small, they cannot be observed with a light microscope.
When encountering animal fats, the spores will grow and reproduce rapidly. The greater the amount of fat, the greater the number of reproduction. Due to the huge number of microorganisms on Bulb's face, his oily face was eventually eaten dry.
According to what Face is not big, the light bulb may be the only successor to the oil repair. It is normal for others to feel that there is no oil on their face after using facial cream, and only the light bulb can detect abnormalities. Some people are using facial creams to spread this microorganism.
Li Banfeng had no way of guessing what kind of disaster this microorganism would bring, but Li Banfeng could smell another smell in the facial cream, war.
Li Banfeng has been preparing for war recently, and the scene before him is probably a war launched by Neizhou, but it is different from the war pattern Li Banfeng is familiar with! Fortunately, what a blessing!
Fortunately, this matter was discovered by the light bulb.
The chief of the investigation section quickly found the source of the cream: "The manufacturer is in Yuezhou. The person in charge is called Han Xiaoxuan, who is a native of Yuezhou. As far as we know so far, there is only one manufacturer that produces this kind of cream. Bureau Li, are we
Should we take immediate action?"
"Yes, it's time to take action." Li Banfeng was a little worried that in this situation, the news might be leaked.
The chief of the investigation section was also a little worried: "I suggest interrupting the entire Dark Star Bureau's communications now and leaving only one line for you."
Li Banfeng shook his head. If he did this, it would be equivalent to telling the bureau that something big must have happened. A smarter mole would find another way to send the message. Fortunately, Li Banfeng also had experience in guarding against moles when he was in Puozhou.
.
Arrange orders in a small area and focus on monitoring suspicious persons.
The second grader must be trustworthy. Li Banfeng asked him to gather people: "Go and get the awl and the candied fruit..." The awl has gone to Hulu Village, and the candied fruit is in the laboratory."
These two are used to it.
"Go and fetch Begonia Guo."
The second one said: "Begonia fruit and candied fruit use the same facial cream." Really!
The most capable squad leaders couldn't go, so we had to take Tangyuan with us: "Call Tangyuan and Huajia, and bring some manpower with me to inspect this factory." "How many people will you bring?"
"Let Chen Changrui make a plan. There must be enough combatants. The opponent will most likely resist arrest. There must be enough biochemical personnel to be prepared to deal with large-scale biochemical attacks. There must also be sufficient investigators and multiple drones. In case of real encounter
In biological and chemical warfare, you can't kill people, bring more fire repairers, and you must clean up the ground after the war...
The second grader made a rough calculation: "Bureau Li, we have a lot of people to lead. It's not easy to hide this matter. We'd better keep an eye on the key personnel first." Keep an eye on the key personnel.
“How many people know that Bulb uses candied fruit in its face cream?”
The second grader was a little embarrassed: "At that time, Mimei called me a pervert and had a very loud voice. Almost everyone in the team knew about it." Li Bianfeng thought for a while: "The one who performed the escort mission with Lamp that day was a star, right?"
"Yes," Zhong Er nodded, "the two of them even had a little dispute."
The reason for the dispute was that the star missed out on the credit.
At that time, the star went to buy a cold drink, Bulb stopped the car, and saw the invisible space. It was such a coincidence. The second grader and Li Banfeng were thinking the same thing: "Bureau Li, do you want to control the star first?"
Li Banfeng shook his head: "This person may not be simple. While he is under control, he may still be able to send the news out.
You ask him to go to the archives to sort out information about the Steam Pie, assign him a few assistants, and give him more tasks so that he can't finish them tonight." Needless to say, smart people know how to do things.
The star thought he would have to work overtime on the Steam Reduction Party matter, and when he went to the archives, he complained a lot.
Chen Changrui made the plan, Li Banfeng made modifications, each department gathered manpower, and logistics arranged vehicles. Li Banfeng immediately took people to the factory. Li Banfeng quietly entered the workshop, and the workers were still working
, no one noticed Li Banfeng.
His main purpose of entering the factory alone was to arrest the person in charge. He walked through the workshop and entered the office building. Li Banfeng walked through each floor at an extremely fast speed. He found the general manager's office on the third floor and pushed
Walked through the door.
Behind the desk, there was a dark, tall and strong man sitting. He was holding a compact, looking in the mirror, and was touching up his makeup.
The powder he used was very fragrant. He took the powder puff and smeared it on his face a few times. The man was quite satisfied. He turned to look at Li Banfeng and asked softly: "Who are you looking for?"
Paying attention to Li Banfeng proves that this person is not low in cultivation.
Li Banfeng smiled: "Are you Han Xiaoxuan, the person in charge of the factory?"
"It's me, what are you doing?" Han Xiaoxuan closed the powder box and looked at Li Banfeng with a smile. Hiss~
Li Banfeng heard the crisp sound of steam through the silk earrings.
"Are you the general manager of this factory?" Li Banfeng closed the office door, "I came to you to buy some face cream." "You came to buy some face cream from me?" Han Xiaoxuan praised, "You have a good sense! You are very good at it.
It’s business!”
Chapter completed!
