Chapter 608 Dark Star Fluctuation (Nuclear Energy in this Chapter)
After a while, Li Banfeng returned to the office and thought about Shen Jingye's whereabouts.

Did Shen Jingye really go to Hulu Village?

Everyone who went to Hulu Village had experienced unbearable hardships in life. What kind of hardships did Shen Jingye endure?
He is the head of the Dark Star Bureau. Someone has to hold the door for him when he gets on the elevator. If he dares to talk about suffering, there is a 99.9% chance that he will not be able to survive.

Li Banfeng called Chen Changrui to his office and asked, "What's the matter with the scar on Shen Jingye's face?"

"Director Li, when did the scars you are talking about occur?"

"Just two days ago, he had a bandage on his face and told me that a pimple had been squeezed and broken by his wife."

"I don't really understand this either..."

Li Banfeng frowned and said, "Director Shen is gone, and you still want to play dumb with me?"

Chen Changrui considered his words carefully: "I saw Director Shen changing the bandages. There was a long cut. According to my guess, he must have been injured by his wife."

"Does this happen often?"

Chen Changrui nodded slightly: "We talked about this last time. His wife has a mental illness. This is not the first time she has hurt Director Shen."

Li Banfeng had a rough idea in his mind: "Gather all personnel and conduct a city-wide search. We will work in three shifts every day and the work cannot be interrupted."

Chen Changrui was stunned for a long time, then lowered his voice and said, "Director Li, if Director Shen really entered Hulu Village, we won't be able to find him in the city."

Li Qi frowned and said, "Who told you that he went to Hulu Village? What did I say at the meeting? Director Shen was trapped in an unknown place in order to track down the whereabouts of Hulu Village.

You should know what the Unnameable Place is, right? I don't know what you call it in other states, but if you find the Unnameable Place, you can find Director Shen and start the action immediately! "

Chen Changrui quickly organized people.

How to find the nameless place? Chen Changrui didn't know how to find it either.

Anonymous space, dark dimension space, antimatter space, vector space, asymmetric space can all be called the unnamed place. In other states, there is no clear explanation for the unnamed place.

Fortunately, Chen Changrui understood Li Qi's intention, and the key task now was to make a bigger move.

Only by making a big noise can we let the higher-ups know that the Dark Star Bureau is looking for Shen Jingye, not waiting for him, and Shen Jingye may not have entered Hulu Village.

As for whether he went there or not, we can only go to Hulu Village to find out.

Li Banfeng left the Dark Star Bureau, found a secluded street, took off the jade pendant from his neck, and held it in his hand.

Ayi said that as long as you put aside what is happening in front of you, you will be able to find the entrance to Hulu Village.

The current things are all short-term things. For the moment, Li Banfeng doesn’t think there is anything worth worrying about.

But after trying twice, Li Banfeng couldn't enter Hulu Village.

What’s going on? Who am I worrying about?
He tried hard to adjust his mindset and try to forget what was happening in front of him. After trying six times, he finally saw the road leading into the village.

A cold wind blew, bringing with it wisps of smoke, and it seemed that something big had happened in the village.

Li Banfeng walked quickly towards the village and saw A'long catching fish in the river. He was holding a harpoon and looked calm, as if nothing serious had happened. There were many farmers in the distance, also working on the farm as usual.

Boom! There was a loud noise, and the ground shook slightly.

Li Banfeng asked A Long: "What happened?"

Aaron replied: "The village chief and his wife are fighting!"

Li Banfeng was shocked: "How come he got beaten like this?"

A-Long said calmly, "They often do this. The village chief drove a tank and wanted to shoot his wife to death. His wife hid in a tunnel and looked for an opportunity to shoot the village chief."

Li Banfeng sighed: "What's the problem between a couple? Why do they have to get on a tank?"

Aaron also thought this was outrageous: "Who says it's not true? Last time my wife and I had a fight, I threw two grenades and she fired a burst of submachine gun fire, and then we made peace after the fight. Isn't that what couples do?"

After chatting for a while, Li Banfeng met Ayun: "Has a person named Shen Jingye come to Hulu Village these days?"

Ah Yun nodded: "Yes! This man is very arrogant. Judging from his aura, he seems to have been an official, but he is probably not as high-ranking as our village chief.

On the first day he arrived, he signed the deed and moved to Huluyao."

"Have the deeds been signed?"

Xiao Shen's situation is not quite what Li Banfeng thought.

Ayun took Li Banfeng to find Shen Jingye. Shen Jingye was drawing water from the well. He didn't notice Li Banfeng, but Li Banfeng could tell that Shen Jingye had never done this job before.

He was a cultivator, and his cultivation level was probably quite high, but he lost balance when carrying water and a lot of water spilled.

Ah Yun whispered, "Carrying water is still good. Haven't you seen how he farms? His hands and feet are so clumsy that it's embarrassing to watch. Otherwise, people would say that someone like him would never be able to become the village chief."

It’s not Shen Jingye’s fault. How could the director of the Dark Star Bureau have ever farmed?

Seeing that there was still a bandage on his face, it was probably that he was hurt again by his wife before he left. It was because of the suffering he suffered at the hands of his wife that he was probably chosen by Hulu Village.

Ayun asked Li Banfeng: "Do you want to talk to him?"

Li Banfeng shook his head and said, "Let's not talk about it. It's useless to talk about it. How many days has he lived here?"

"Today is the fifth day."

There are still ten days left before the half month. Whether to go or stay is up to Shen Jingye himself to decide. No one can force him.

"Where did Shen Jingye come in from?"

Ah Yun flipped through the account book and said, "He left a mark when he came in. He has to leave the same way he came in. I'll take you to see it later."

Shen Jingye entered from the door of a restaurant on Yunsheng Road, Jiacheng District. Li Banfeng walked around the roadside and saw Lu Family Bookstore.

Is this Boss Lu’s business?

He sent Xiaopang into the wormhole, and Xiaopang had already told Li Banfeng about this.

To be honest, Boss Lu cannot be blamed for this. If Li Banfeng was followed by a stranger and the stranger saw something he shouldn't have seen, Li Banfeng would not have let the other person off easily.

But Li Banfeng did not expect that Yu Yaoming was in Boss Lu's hands.

Want to go into the bookstore?

Li Banfeng was about to push the door when the projector light flickered: "Director Seven, there's a phone call, hehe!"

"There's a phone, there's a phone, what are you laughing at?" Every time I went to Hulu Village, the projector was not in good condition.

Li Banfeng found a secluded corner and went to answer the phone.

In the study, Boss Lu tore up a piece of manuscript and threw it into the trash can.

The sequel to "Rust and Frost" was obviously not well written. Boss Lu himself couldn't even read it. He looked out the window and said to himself, "Why don't I give him the manuscript? Did Zhang Xiuling really receive his guidance?"

……

Li Banfeng was on the phone with Deputy Director Wang: "Director Guan asked me to inform you that the superiors have set up a working group to conduct a special investigation into Shen Jingye's problem. Director Guan is the team leader. You must report to the team leader regularly."

Deputy Director Wang has always been timid in front of Shen Jingye, but today he spoke very arrogantly.

It seems that someone has promised him that as long as he can overthrow Shen Jingye, there will be a good position reserved for him.

Li Banfeng was not angry, and responded calmly: "Wait a moment, I will report the progress of the work to Director Guan in a while."

"Anyway, just be careful." Deputy Director Wang hung up the phone.

Li Banfeng put the phone into the film compartment of the projector: "Let me tell you about the script first."

"No need to tell me the script, I'm familiar with the Dark Star Bureau's plot, hehehe!"

"The task of reporting work is now given to you, every two hours, 24 hours a day."

The projector thought for a moment and said, "Once every two hours, it seems that our work attitude is not correct. Let's change it to once an hour. I like to communicate with Director Guan more often."

Li Banfeng calculated the time and said, "That's fine. Try not to exceed 20 minutes for the report. Try to leave Director Guan more time to rest."

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the projector replied: "Director Seven, Director Guan has blocked our number."

Li Banfeng frowned and said, "This work attitude is not good. Change the number and continue playing."

"Director Qi, I have contacted Director Guan so many times that I have become friends with his phone number. Of course, we are not very close friends.

I can't ask too much of him, but it's not difficult to get him to remove my phone number from the blacklist. After that, if I disguise it appropriately, I believe Director Guan will not refuse to listen."

"Okay, let's do it!"

The projector can make friends with the phone on the other end of the phone.

I went to Hulu Village twice and it seemed that the projector had evolved a lot.

……

At 3:30 in the morning, Guan Zhengyang's phone rang.

As soon as he looked at the number, he realized it was a call from his superior. Logically, Director Guan should sit up from his bed immediately, adjust his mental and vocal state, and then answer the call.

But two hours ago, the mobile phone showed that this leader had called. When he answered the phone, it turned out to be Li Qi who called. Guan Zhengyang didn't know whether it was a problem with the phone or the communication signal.

Should I answer it or not?
Can't take any risks.

If it really is the leader calling, and I don’t answer this call, I might be remembered for the rest of my life!

Guan Zhengyang still picked up the phone.

"Xiao Guan, let me tell you about the latest progress. During our search and rescue of Director Shen, we made another important discovery."

It’s Li Qi’s voice again!
Guan Zhengyang couldn't bear it anymore!
"Director Li, do you know what time it is now? You have to..."

"Xiao Guan, watch your attitude. You must know the responsibilities of the working group and your mission. From the moment you become the team leader, you must give up the idea of ​​seeking comfort..."

The next morning, Guan Zhengyang announced that the work of the working group would be suspended. The search and rescue work for Shen Jingye would be undertaken by the Dark Star Bureau, and the specific work of the Dark Star Bureau would be handed over to Li Qi.

Guan Zhengyang couldn't stand the harassment, which was a secondary reason. The main reason was that his superiors wanted to solve the problem.

Shen Jingye's disappearance has a huge impact. If they want to find Shen Jingye, Li Qi is their best choice.

Li Qi is indeed a responsible person. He first asked his secretary to write a recent work summary. The main reason for the ineffective search and rescue was the overall insufficient capabilities of the security team members. In order to further improve the business foundation and ability qualities of the security team members, he signed the document and distributed 300 units of blending agents to each team member.

Three hundred units are equivalent to one Jinyuan Pill, which can replace one hundred days of practice.

After the document was sent down, the pharmacy department gave 100 units.

Li Banfeng got angry and called the head of the pharmacy department up: "What do you mean? The document has been issued, why is it not being implemented? Do you think my words have no effect?"

Yan Zhipeng, the head of the pharmacy department, quickly explained: "Director Li, that's not what we mean. We have a system that stipulates that the number of medicines distributed to the same person within a month cannot exceed 100 units. If it exceeds this number, we need approval from our superiors."

Waiting for approval from superiors?
Who are you trying to fool?

Li Banfeng asked Tangyuan that since Shen Jingye changed his working methods, the Dark Star Bureau has increased the rewards for front-line personnel. Zhuizi from the security team received 500 units of blending agents at one time because of his great contribution. Everyone in the bureau knew about it.

Because Cone Zi later became a traitor, this incident became a laughing stock of Shen Jingye for a time.

"You didn't discuss the rules with Director Shen, but you came to me to discuss the rules?"

"Director Li, the circumstances were special at the time..." Yan Zhipeng was playing tricks on Li Banfeng. In fact, the matter was very simple. As long as he balanced the accounts, the three hundred units would be divided into three months and applied for in three installments, and the matter would be over.

But he knew that Li Qi would not always be the director here. He was from Provins, and even if Shen Jingye could not come back in the future, someone else would definitely be the top leader. He did not want to take this risk for Li Qi.

Li Banfeng saw through this little trick clearly: "Chief Yan, it is right to abide by the rules. I am not familiar with the rules and made a mistake. Don't take it personally."

Yan Zhipeng smiled and said, "Director Li, if there's nothing else, I'll go back to the department first." "You go ahead and get busy."

In the afternoon, Li Banfeng called Yan Zhipeng up again: "Some colleagues reported that the blending agent provided by the bureau had no effect after taking it."

Yan Zhipeng was shocked: "How could it have no effect..."

"I wanted to ask you about this. Is it because of your improper storage?"

This is not Li Banfeng making a random accusation.

Blending agents are sold in all major black markets in Yuezhou, but where these blending agents come from has not yet been determined.

Li Banfeng asked Tang Changfa to check and found that Tang Changfa could find various goods on the black market, including magic weapons, spiritual objects, and elixirs. The only exception was blending agents and guiding agents, which Tang Changfa could not find.

There are a lot of people selling blending agents and guiding agents on the black market, and the prices are basically the same.

Do the potions in these merchants' hands have nothing to do with the Dark Star Bureau?
Li Banfeng is preparing to organize a special inspection operation to conduct an in-depth investigation into the storage of blending agents.

Yan Zhipeng complained: "Director Li, the medicines we distribute are all prepared on site, and each dose has the signature of the preparer. If there is any quality problem with the medicine, it is also the quality problem of the raw materials. It has nothing to do with our storage work!"

Read more latest popular novels at 6.9*shuba!

"Wait!" Li Banfeng was stunned, "What do you mean by preparation?"

According to Shen Jingye, the medicines were allocated by the superior company, so how did they become prepared here?
Yan Zhipeng was a little hesitant, wondering whether he should say this to Li Banfeng.

But on second thought, I have to say nothing. I can't take the blame for this.

"Blending agents are not easy to store and transport. At the beginning of each year, the bureau will report a plan to the superiors based on the usage of the previous year and this year's work. The superiors will allocate a certain amount of raw materials to us according to the plan, and we will prepare and use them according to the actual situation."

Xiao Shen, your work attitude is really problematic. How dare you lie to me?
Li Banfeng asked, "Does that mean you have a problem with the storage of raw materials?"

"We have a special system and are equipped with special personnel..."

Li Banfeng nodded and said, "So I believe that our work will stand the test."

After the file was downloaded, we started investigating immediately the next day.

Yan Zhipeng didn't dare to hide anything and showed all the raw materials and formulas to Li Banfeng.

Li Banfeng thought that the formula would clearly state the details of each drug, but he underestimated the intensity of the confidentiality work.

The actual situation is that the formula only contains the code and dosage of each drug, but not the name and properties. The pharmacy department takes the formula and strictly follows the process to mix the solid powder into liquid medicine. As for the pharmacology involved, the pharmacy department has no idea.

It doesn’t matter if the pharmacy department doesn’t know, Li Banfeng has a way to find out.

It is very difficult to analyze the ingredients in a tube of medicine placed in front of you.

But with more than a dozen raw materials in front of you, analyzing their components is much easier.

Li Banfeng took a bag of each type of medicine, claiming that he was keeping samples for testing, and went back to give them to his wife, asking her to do an analysis.

In terms of efficacy alone, the blending agent is not as good as the superior elixir like Jinyuan Dan, but this thing can be mass-produced, which is a huge advantage over elixirs.

More importantly, in addition to the blending agent, there is another more important potion.

Li Qi gave an order: When rectifying problems, we must learn from them and investigate the guiding agents as well!

The guiding agent is the entry-level medicine powder for dark energy users. Tangyuan took the guiding agent and became a scholar. Later, he ate the Wenxiu medicine powder in Prozhou and evolved into a Wenxiu.

Although there were some twists and turns in the middle, the levels of the dumplings were preserved and their combat effectiveness was enhanced, which proved that there was a certain degree of connection between the guide agent and the peddler's powder.

There are many formulas for the guide agents and the medicines are also very complicated. Li Banfeng did not mind the trouble and kept samples of all the medicines and gave them to his wife for inspection along with the formulas.

After checking for three days without stopping day and night, Yan Zhipeng could no longer bear it and admitted his mistake to Li Banfeng and sent out the 300 units of the blending agent.

After checking the pharmacy department, check the archives department. The risks and hidden dangers of archives management should not be underestimated!

There are too many archival materials, and Li Banfeng doesn't have the time to do it himself, so he handed the work to Tangyuan. Tangyuan naturally understood Li Qi's thoughts and backed up all the files that Li Qi was interested in.

Among the information, there was a piece of information that Tangyuan paid special attention to and reported to Li Qi specifically.

"Seventh Master, this information is very special. Please take some time to read it."

Tang Yuan obtained it at a risk of his life, so Li Banfeng naturally had to take it seriously. The name of this document is "Investigation Report on Periodic Fluctuations of Black Dwarfs".

Black dwarf?
Li Banfeng came across the concept of black dwarfs when he was in college. Black dwarfs are the lowest energy state products formed at the end of the evolution of small and medium mass stars. According to Li Banfeng's understanding, they are the products formed after the star's energy is completely exhausted.

It takes an extremely long time for a star to become a black dwarf, a time that exceeds the age of the universe. In other words, black dwarfs are only a theoretical product and there should be no black dwarfs in the current universe.

Even if black dwarfs exist, it is difficult for humans to observe them because black dwarfs have extremely low temperatures and radiate almost no energy outward.

Why is the Dark Star Bureau researching this? Isn't this what astronomical institutions should do?
Dark Star Bureau, Dark Star Bureau...

Yes!

This is the Dark Star Bureau. Li Banfeng almost forgot its name!
Black dwarfs are difficult to observe, aren’t they just dark stars?
Researching dark stars is the main business of the Dark Star Bureau!

Li Banfeng opened the document and read it carefully. Because it was a special report, a lot of the content did not have a preface or a coda, so Li Banfeng did not quite understand it.

But the conclusions are very clear. There are three very important research results in this report, two of which Li Banfeng basically understood.

The first result is that black dwarfs do not radiate almost no energy outward as people initially inferred. Instead, they burst out energy and matter at a certain period. Part of this energy and matter falls on the earth and causes biological mutations.

Matter and energy?
Is it highly active dark matter and dark energy?

Could it be that the origin of dark power is black dwarfs?

The second result is that according to survey data from many countries, the explosion cycle of black dwarfs is between 20 and 30 years. After each explosion, some traces will be left in the earth's rock formations, soil and buildings.

The third result is that within one to two years after the black dwarf explodes, the inner state will launch a foreign war.

This is hard to understand. What is the connection between Inner Province’s foreign war and the explosion of the black dwarf?
Li Banfeng pinched his forehead and thought quietly for a long time. Zhong Er came in to report: "Director Li, Goncharova's lawyer is here and wants to meet with the client."

"What are you inserting?" Li Banfeng didn't turn around for a moment.

"Goncharova is a senior member of the Birch Tree Hermitage. She has made meritorious contributions, so the matter has not been determined yet. She is still being held here."

"A woman from Rafsha?" Li Banfeng nodded. He remembered this person. "Let the lawyer meet her and follow the formalities."

Just as Zhong Er turned around to leave, Li Banfeng suddenly shouted, "Wait!"

He remembered something important.

"Why did Goncharova join the Priory?"

Chuuniburi remembered it very clearly: "It was because of a war, a war that took place in the Land of Sleep."

According to Goncharova's confession, when she was a teenager, a war broke out in the sleeping land of Ravsha, an invasion war by the dark god Chernobog.

That war broke out twenty-two years ago.

Going back another twenty years, it was the Second Prussian War.

I met Ling Miaosheng a few days ago, and he said that the Neamican Kingdom was going to go to war.

The explosion cycle of a black dwarf is between twenty and thirty years.

Has the black dwarf exploded again recently?
Is this why Neizhou wants to attack Neamikan?

Is the news from Amikan accurate? Is the battlefield definitely in Inner Amikan?
Recently, the people of Neizhou have also been restless in Prozhou. Ge Junma almost stole the Moxiang store, Luo Lijun was about to attack the soda kiln, and the fake driver was only one step away from occupying the loess bridge...

They won't attack Provo, right?

There should be signs before a war.

……

At Desong Cliff, at the entrance of Deyuan Village, an old man in his seventies, leaning on a cane, said: "Virtue is the foundation of virtue. Without virtue in one's mind, how can one do virtuous things?"

Standing opposite him was an octogenarian woman who disagreed with the old man's view: "Virtue is the root of virtue. If you don't do virtuous things, even if you have thousands of thoughts in your head, how can you be considered a virtuous person?"

The two old men seemed to be arguing with each other, and their words were very polite. If an outsider saw them, he would think that they had a good relationship.

After arguing for half an hour, the old man failed to convince the old woman and sighed, "You have lived in vain, but you are still stubborn!"

The old woman sneered: "You are confusing right and wrong, yet you are still making trouble here."

The old man's face darkened as he said, "The peddler chose me to be in charge of Desong Cliff, why are you dissatisfied?"

The old woman raised her eyes and said, "The peddler is not from Desong Cliff, so why would he interfere in the internal affairs of Desong Cliff?"

"I have come to this point, no need to say more," the old man gave an order, "You all listen to my order, kill this thief!"

Behind the old man, more than a hundred Dexiu rushed towards the old woman.

It is not an easy task to make Dexiu charge, which shows that this old man is very prestigious in Desong Cliff.

The one rushing to the front was a young man, holding a short knife in his hand, shouting loudly: "Kill the traitors, no mercy!"

The old woman smiled, without saying anything, and used her virtue to cultivate her skills and to carry the world with her virtue.

The young man was totally unprepared. He felt as if half a mountain was pressing down on him. He fell to the ground and couldn't get up.

The old woman shouted, "Kill all those without virtue and restore the prestige of the Dao Sect!"

Hundreds of people rushed up behind her, and not all of them were Dexiu.

A man picked up a tile and chopped off the young man's head, then led everyone to fight with the old man's men.

By the time the peddler arrived, the battle was over. Only corpses were left on the ground, and the snow was dyed red.

The peddler stuck the rattle into the truck and frowned, "If we keep beating them like this, Dexiu will be wiped out!"

A man followed the peddler and he also sighed: "I think they need a leader."

The peddler scanned the corpses and turned over the body of an old man: "This is the leader I found for them."

The old man died in the battle, and most of his Dexiu men were killed or wounded.

The man picked up a tile from the ground and said, "I didn't expect that someone in Pro Province would dare to challenge you.
There is also a young man who died in a very strange way. His head was chopped off by this tile. This is obviously not Dexiu's way of fighting."

This is the way martial artists fight. Few martial artists would come to Desong Cliff.

The peddler knew that the situation was now very serious and that the war had already spread beyond the scope of Desong Cliff.

The man checked the other bodies and said, "From the condition of the bodies, the people who participated in the battle were all very strong, but many of them were not virtuous.
There is no reason for these people to fight for Desong Cliff. This place should not be so attractive.
I suspect that someone else is trying to use this war to cause chaos, and I even suspect that this hidden force comes from outside the state of Provo."

The peddler nodded: "So I wanted to find someone to calm down this chaos, but Li Qi refused to come."

The man smiled and said, "My friend has a deep dislike for Dexiu. He was like this when he was in Haichiling."

The peddler looked at the man and said, "I can't stay here forever, so I'll leave this matter to you. What you need to do is to end this war as soon as possible and maintain order in Desong Cliff. Do you understand what I mean?"

The man thought for a moment and said, "I don't really understand how to control order. Can you be more direct?"

The peddler explained: "To be more direct, those who listen to advice will be kept, and those who don't will be killed."

The man shook his head: "The concept of listening to advice is still a little vague. Can you explain it more intuitively?"

“How else can it be intuitive?”

"Just tell me, how much do I need to keep? 70% or half?"

PS: It seems that this friend likes to solve problems in a quantitative way.
