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?
