Chapter 611 Dry Oil Repair

The Steam Restorationists are a non-governmental scientific organization founded at the beginning of this century. The main feature of this organization is that it is dedicated to steam restoration activities.

The so-called steam retro activity is to use the technology of the steam age to create products of modern technology. They have made steam cars, steam airplanes, steam computers and steam radio stations...

Li Banfeng has seen steam cars and has seen steam airplanes in some historical documents. What is a steam computer?
Tang Yuan introduced the principle of the difference engine to Li Banfeng. This mechanical computer, which had not been successfully built in history, was successfully manufactured by the steam reduction school.

This reminded Li Banfeng of the retro craze that was popular in college, when 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 scope of understanding, but how do you explain steam radios?

"We've already got a radio, what's the point of talking about steam?"

Chen Changrui explained: "Steam radio is a synonym for steam communication equipment. Unlike modern communication equipment, this communication equipment is realized through steam pipe network."

Tangyuan took out the blueprint of the steam radio station. The signal transmitter used a mechanical regulating gate to control the steam pressure and achieved signal transmission through changes in pressure.

For modern technology, this communication method, which is bulky, complex to operate, and has extremely low fault tolerance, has almost no value, but it is a very important achievement of the steam restoration school.

Li Banfeng read all these achievements from beginning to end and came to the conclusion that "their technology level is definitely not enough to produce a mechanical device as complex as a spherical life form."

Tang Yuan disagrees: "These are the research results of the steam reduction school that have been confirmed in history. In the past three years, we have less information about them, so it is difficult to speculate to what extent their technology has advanced."

Li Banfeng asked: "Did you investigate this organization again in the past three years?"

"Our investigation has never been interrupted. This is the first time we have obtained various clues in the past three years."

Li Banfeng looked at the archival materials and found that two years ago, in Wuyang Province, an abandoned machinery processing plant was put back into production. Its production efficiency exceeded that of many surrounding enterprises and was listed as an advanced model for publicity by local media.

"Because this mechanical processing plant purchased a large amount of coal, it attracted the attention of colleagues from the Wuyang Branch. They sent people to secretly visit the factory and found that the main equipment in the factory was driven by steam.
This abnormal technical method attracted the attention of the Wuyang 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 Tangyuan meant: "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?"

Tang Yuan took out another document: "According to the relevant registration information of this company, their person in charge is called He Yunfei. This person is indeed an entrepreneur. His files and information can be found.

The identities of several key personnel of the factory were also found, but their whereabouts were not found at that time.

In addition to them, the identities of more than 100 workers registered in this factory have not been confirmed so far. The identity information registered in the factory is all forged, and the families of these workers are nowhere to be found.
According to our speculation, these workers should be products of artificial intelligence, which we often call robots. "

"Steam robot?"

"We have no way of inferring what type of robots they are, but since they were made by the steam restorationists, they are most likely steam-driven. This is a news report left behind by the factory at the time."

Li Banfeng looked at the newspaper. In the photos in the newspaper, there were busy workers standing next to the machine tools. Their working movements and expressions were different for different types of work.

"These can't be steam robots." Li Banfeng shook his head and put the newspaper aside.

In Li Banfeng's opinion, the "dummies" made in Neizhou already represent the limit of steam technology, but these dummies must have external equipment, including fans, teapots, rickshaws and the like.

Looking at the workers in this newspaper, many of them are working with their bare hands, and there is no trace of external equipment. Could it be that three years ago, the steam restoration school already had technology that surpassed that of the state?
Li Banfeng suspected that this was fake, but everyone who investigated the case believed it was true.

Tang Yuan listed several more cases:

Two years ago, in the country of Amikan, there was an underground clothing processing workshop whose production efficiency exceeded that of regular factories. After an investigation, it was found that the person in charge of this clothing workshop was also He Yunfei.

Last year, in the country of Aucui, a construction company purchased hundreds of thousands of tons of coal in a year. After investigation, it was found that He Yunfei was also the head of this construction company.

……

A series of clues were laid out before us, all proving one thing: He Yunfei was the leader of the steam restoration faction, an organization with strong technical capabilities and a wide distribution range.

Tang Yuan brought out the most recent case: "This year, the steam restoration faction was active in Minyue Province, but we did not conduct an investigation at that time."

“Why didn’t you investigate?”

Chuuniburi replied, "Because we were going to fight a war."

During that period of time, the war at Ruirong Textile Factory happened to break out, and the case of the steam restoration faction was temporarily shelved. Later, when the Minyue Branch investigated the matter, the steam restoration faction suddenly disappeared from the face of the world, just as they had done before.

There are so many clues, but we can't find any traces. Such ingenious means are amazing.

Now that the Steam Restoration Faction has dealt a heavy blow to the Special Operations Team, this case, which has never been solved and cannot be put aside, has finally been placed in a position of urgency.

The agents were all very excited, including Chen Changrui.

Such a gorgeous means of committing the crime and such rich investigative clues would make anyone who has studied detective reasoning unable to resist trying it out.

Chen Changrui suggested suspending all work and making every effort to investigate the steam restoration faction.

There is nothing wrong with doing so. This case involves nearly a hundred lives of the special operations team, and its importance must be higher than other cases.

After the meeting, Zhong Er asked Deng Deng: "Are you still going to investigate that matter? I have an appointment with the laboratory and can do the experiment tomorrow morning."

Bulb rubbed his face and said, "It's already this hour, and you're still checking that crap. What are you thinking?"

……

Li Banfeng has not studied criminal investigation systematically, but when he saw such a challenging case, he also wanted to start an investigation.

He first sorted out clues from past cases, and it was not until the early morning of the next day that Li Banfeng realized that he had not slept all night.

Although he is a cultivator of the Yunshang Three Plus Two level, Li Banfeng is still a little tired due to the high-intensity brain work.

He took the case-related information and returned to his residence, ready to catch up on some sleep. Before going to bed, he was still looking at the chain of clues, always feeling that he had overlooked something.

The wife looked distressed and quickly advised: "My dear husband, go to sleep. Your eyes are full of 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: "Something seems to be wrong, as if a lot of things are 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. Would you like to take a look at it, ma'am?"

"I don't have time to look at this. I'm also thinking about the tracking device. Husband, please show it to Hongying."

Hong Ying took a look and shook her head repeatedly, saying, "Qilang, please don't make it difficult for me. I really don't understand this. Just tell me where this man named He Yunfei is, and I will go out and help you kill him."

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 take it to show it to Room 8, he likes it."

"Isn't the eighth room considered repair?"

"The minds of the high-level mathematicians are clear, and there are many good judges who can solve cases."

Li Banfeng took the information to Room 8. Room 8 read the information, thought about it for more than half an hour, and exclaimed: "If it is really this, I never thought that I could still see this thing today."

The Eighth Room really saw through some mysteries, and Li Banfeng was very happy.

But Bafang didn't intend to tell the secret directly: "You come to me for advice, is it appropriate to come empty-handed?"

This is nitpicking.

What they said makes sense. It is indeed not good to ask someone to do something for you and leave empty-handed.

Li Banfeng returned to the main room to find a gift for the eighth room. Hong Ying asked for details, picked up a stick, and went into the eighth room: "It's not appropriate to come empty-handed, I brought a weapon."

"I just figured it out, too. You can't hit me!" Room 8 politely sent Hong Ying away, invited Li Banfeng back, and directly told him the answer, "This is a problem that can be solved in 10000 ways."

"What is the Wanjie problem?"

"Have you been to school?" This is Bafang's personality. As long as Hong Ying is not around, he will be a little aloof.

Li Banfeng didn't mind: "I've been there for many years."

"When you were in school, did you ever come across 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, nodded and said, "Yes."

"This type of question is the predecessor of the Wanjie question. The Wanjie question is more sophisticated because it contains a technique of calculation and cultivation, called the Wanjie entanglement.

This is a high-level calculation skill. I have only seen it twice before. This type of question is definitely unsolvable. Don't waste your time on it."

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 matter itself doesn't make sense. You all see the Steam Restoration Sect appearing and disappearing, and you all want to catch them, but you have never thought about the purpose of their doing these things, and whether they have 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 machine processing factory? How much money do you think the machine processing factory can help them make? Can this factory recover the cost they invested?
The one in Amikan is even more of a joke. Using such advanced technology to run an underground clothing workshop, let alone how much profit they can make, even if it's just for showing off, what kind of fame can an underground workshop bring them?
Superb technology and elusive whereabouts are the cover of this unsolvable problem, which makes ordinary people ignore the root of the problem and their actual motives. You are a high-level home repairman with the skill of sitting back and relaxing. If you stay at home for a while, you will be able to figure out the ins and outs of this.
Take the case you just experienced as an example. The Steam Faction dealt a heavy blow to the special operations team and seemed to have achieved good results. However, no matter how advanced the technology is or how gorgeous the method is, it cannot cover up the fact that this matter is not valuable enough for them.
A precious invisible space plus a group of mechanical equipment with advanced intelligence can do so many things. Why did they have to create such an attack? Don't say they just want to be famous, the cost is too high. "

Li Banfeng rubbed his cheeks hard and gradually became more sober.

What the Eighth Room said was right. Why did they do this? Just to target the Special Operations Team?
wrong.

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.

Is it possible that the light bulb entered the invisible space at that time?
Even if it is possible, is it worth spending so much money just to deal with a light bulb?
Is there something else going on with the light bulb?
The next day, Li Banfeng called Dengbao and Zhonger to his office.

"You said yesterday that you wanted to investigate something, and you mentioned the laboratory. What was it?"

Deng Deng rubbed his face and smiled, "It's not a big deal. This kind of thing shouldn't take up the resources of the bureau. I corrected my mistake and didn't use the laboratory."

Zhong Er shook his head and said, "I think this is a big deal. Now let's investigate the steam restoration faction. When we are done with this period of busy work, we must also investigate this matter thoroughly."

Li Banfeng said, "Don't wait until you are done with your work, tell me now, what is going on?"

Dengbao was a little embarrassed, so Zhonger spoke for him: "There is a new intern here, and Dengbao has a crush on her. He asked her out for coffee that afternoon, and she agreed.
He has taken too much blending agent these past two days, and he is still cultivating, so his face is oily and smells bad. I saw that there was a face cream on Sister Mijian's desk, so I told him about it, and he took it and used it, hoping to cover up the smell on his face.
After using it, my face became dry at noon that day. It was so dry that I felt uncomfortable and couldn't recover for several days. I asked the candied fruit what was wrong.

Mi Xuan said that I was a pervert because I used her cream. I said that it was Dengbaoer who used it. She said that it didn’t matter who used it, I was a pervert anyway. I thought there was something wrong with the cream, so I contacted the laboratory to check it out.”

Dengbao laughed and said, "Zhonger is a man with a dull mind. Sister Mijian likes him, but he doesn't know it.

I'm telling you, in terms of looks, who in our bureau can compare to Mijian except Tangyuan? Tangyuan is with Ding Qiye, so Mijian is the most handsome. Why don't you seize the opportunity?

Sister Mijian has been promoted, her income has increased, she has a car, and she is said to be buying a house in the next two days. If you follow her, how many years of hard work will you have to work less? Just be happy!"

Li Banfeng frowned and said, "Let's not talk about this first, let's talk about the cream first. Don't you have oil repair? How can your face be dry?"

Chuunibour nodded and said, "That's the problem. Mijian said her cream is an oil-control type, but it's impossible for it to control all the oil from Youxiu. This doesn't make sense, so I helped him check it out."

Li Banfeng called Mi Candied: "Give me your face cream."

"Ah?" Mi Jian was stunned on the other end of the phone, "Director Li, you, you are going to..."

"Chuuni has a crush on your face cream, but I'm too embarrassed to ask you for it!"

"Okay, I'll bring it over in a minute."

Zhong Er looked at Li Banfeng in astonishment: "Director Li, we can't do this..." Mi Candied brought the cream over a while later, and rolled his eyes at Zhong Er before leaving: "Pervert!"

Li Banfeng took the face cream and sent it directly to the laboratory. When the laboratory saw Director Li coming, they put other projects aside and gave priority to testing this bottle of face cream.

After the test, the technician made a preliminary judgment: "Director Li, this is a typical counterfeit product. There is no oil-controlling material in it."

Light Bulb shook his head and said, "Isn't this nonsense? He even wiped off the oil on my face, and you still say he has no talent?"

"No way, it should be..." After hearing what Dengbao said, the laboratory technician also felt a little unconfident.

Li Banfeng said: "Don't take it for granted, try using oil!"

"Oil..." The technician thought for a moment, "Controlling oil on the skin means controlling fat. I'll try getting some animal fat."

When animal fat was dripped onto the cream sample, there was no obvious reaction. The analyst raised his eyebrows and said, "Director Li, you can see that it is really useless."

"Wait a little longer."

After waiting for more than twenty minutes, the animal fat suddenly decreased rapidly and disappeared in a very short time.

The laboratory technician was startled and quickly put the sample back on the test bench, wondering what reagents to use for the experiment.

Read more latest popular novels at 6.9*shuba!

Li Banfeng looked anxious and said, "Don't use the reagent yet. Put it under the microscope and take a look."

"This, this chemical change involves molecular structure, which is difficult to distinguish even with an optical microscope."

"Then you can get an electron microscope and take a look!"

The electron microscope was sent in for repair, and Li Qi was pressing for it, so the lab technician had no choice but to find an optical microscope with the largest magnification and take a look.

Upon seeing this, the laboratory technician was shocked: "Alive, alive, there is a living thing!"

Li Banfeng leaned over the telescope and looked for a long time: "What life form are you talking about? I can't see it!"

"Look here, there are cell structures, Director Li. I really didn't see them just now. I used a microscope just now, but there was no ..."

Li Banfeng waved his hand and said, "Don't talk about this for now, change the sample and try it with some fat!"

The analyst took another sample and added a drop of animal fat.

Under the microscope, there was no change at first, but after waiting for nearly half an hour, cell structures appeared in the cream sample.

The laboratory technician applied a dye to the cells, and Li Banfeng could see it very clearly this time. The cells grew rapidly on the surface of the cream, constantly dividing one by one, which made Li Banfeng feel numb and itchy all over.

The light bulb was also frightened: "It's the same on Mijian's face, right? Is it the same on my face..."

Li Banfeng asked Zhong Er to quickly get the candied fruit and isolate it together with Dengbaoer.

"Ask where the candied fruit and cream were purchased. Gather some people, investigate immediately, and find the manufacturer."

"We have all gone to investigate the steam reduction faction."

"Forget about the steam pie. Everyone, drop what you are doing and just investigate this one thing!"

Just as Zhong Er was about to leave, Li Banfeng stopped him again.

While escorting the tracker, Dengbao discovered an invisible space. If he had been impulsive and entered the invisible space, he might have lost his life.

Although he did not go in, the matter of the invisible space involved the steam restoration faction, and the energy of the entire Dark Star Bureau was involved, so the matter of the light bulb having no oil on its face was left unresolved.

This matter is aimed at the light bulb.

Someone knows that the light bulb uses candied cream.

Someone knows the light bulb to investigate the cream!
Someone is deliberately distracting!
There is a mole in the bureau!

The traitor is most likely in the security team, or perhaps in the laboratory.

Li Banfeng said to Zhong Er, "Don't notify the team, ask the chief of investigation to come to the laboratory to find me."

Zhong Er nodded and soon called the chief of the investigation department over.

Li Banfeng didn't mention the cream first. He asked the laboratory technician, "Is everyone in the laboratory on duty?"

"All today."

Li Banfeng said to the chief of the investigation section: "Have all personnel in the laboratory hand in their communication equipment and block the communication signal."

The laboratory technician was stunned: "Director Li, here we..."

"I didn't say there's anything wrong with you. Just continue to do your experiment here and figure out the properties of this cream. Be careful not to get infected."

The chief of the investigation section immediately started working. He first blocked the signal, disconnected the landline, and then collected the communication equipment.

Li Banfeng explained the situation to the Chief of Investigation: "You need to find someone who is absolutely reliable to handle this matter. Once the news leaks out, all the responsibility will be on you alone!"

The chief of the investigation section did not dare to delay and went to work immediately.

After a while, Zhong Er called Mijian over. When he heard that he had to be quarantined, Mijian didn't know what was going on.

When asked about the face cream, Mi Jian replied: "I bought it online. This face cream is very popular. It has a very good oil control effect and is very long-lasting."

Bulb said with a sad face: "How can the effect be bad? They are all alive. Our faces have become a breeding base. Even I feel dry. How do you bear it?"

Mi Jian said, "What's the harm in doing it? I have oily skin, and my face will feel uncomfortable when I sweat!"

Li Banfeng asked the laboratory to conduct tests on these two people as well.

The test results came out quickly, and it was revealed that there were a large number of microorganisms of unknown origin on the epidermis of Mi Candied's face, which were the cell structures they saw under the microscope.

The density of microorganisms on the surface of the bulb is more than six times that of candied fruit.

The laboratory conducted a preliminary analysis of the results: this microorganism is similar to fungi, and it initially lurks in the face cream in the form of spores. Because the individual is extremely small, it cannot be observed with an optical microscope.

When encountering animal fats, the spores will grow and multiply rapidly. The more fat there is, the greater the number of reproduction. Because of the huge number of microorganisms on the light bulb's face, they eventually ate up his oil-refined face.

According to what the face is not big, Bulb may be the only successor to oil repair. It is normal for others to feel that their face is less oily after using facial cream, but only Bulb can discover the abnormality.

Some people are using facial creams to spread this microorganism.

Li Banfeng had no way of guessing what extent of disaster this microorganism would bring, but Li Banfeng could smell another scent from the cream: war.

Li Banfeng has been on guard against war recently, and the scene before him is most likely the war launched by Neizhou, but it is different from the war mode that Li Banfeng is familiar with!
Fortunately, it is fortunate!
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 Han Xiaoxuan, a local of Yuezhou. As far as we know, only this manufacturer produces this kind of cream. Director Li, should we take action immediately?"

"Yes, it's time to take action." Li Banfeng was a little worried that the news might leak out under the current circumstances.

The head of the investigation department was also a little worried: "I suggest that we cut off the entire Dark Star Bureau's communications now and only leave one line for you."

Li Banfeng shook his head. If he did that, it would be equivalent to telling the bureau that something big must have happened. The smarter insiders would find another way to send the message out.

Fortunately, Li Banfeng also had experience in guarding against traitors when he was in Pro Province.

Deploy commands in a small area, focusing on monitoring suspicious persons.

Zhong Er is definitely credible. Li Banfeng asked him to gather some people: "Go get the awls and candied fruits..."

"Zhuizi went to Hulu Village, and the candied fruit is in the laboratory."

These two people are used to it.

"Go call Begonia."

Chuuni said: "I used the same cream for the crabapple and candied fruit."

So inch!

Since the most capable squad leaders couldn't go, we had to take Tangyuan with us. "Tell Tangyuan and Huajia to bring some people with me to search and confiscate this factory."

"How many people will you take?"

"Let Chen Changrui come up with a plan. There must be enough combat personnel. The other side will most likely resist arrest. There must also be enough biochemical personnel. We must be prepared to deal with large-scale biochemical attacks.
We also need enough reconnaissance personnel, bring more drones. If we really encounter a biological and chemical war, we cannot use people to make up for our own deaths. We also need to bring more fire repairmen, as we must clean up the area after the war..."

Zhong Er roughly calculated and said, "Director Li, there are a lot of people to bring with you. It's not easy to hide this matter. We'd better keep an eye on the key personnel first."

Keep an eye on key personnel.

“How many people know that the light bulb uses candied cream?”

Chuunib was a little embarrassed: "At that time, Mijian called me a pervert, and his voice was very loud. Almost everyone in the team knew about it."

Li Banfeng thought for a moment and said, "The person who was escorting Dengbao that day was a celebrity, right?"

"Yes," Chuuji nodded, "and they had a little argument."

The dispute was caused by the fact that the star missed the credit.

At that time, the star went to buy cold drinks, and Dengbao stopped the car and saw the invisible space. It was such a coincidence.

Zhong Er and Li Banfeng thought the same thing: "Director Li, do you want to control the celebrity first?"

Li Banfeng shook his head: "This person may not be simple. During the period of controlling him, he may still have a way to send the message out.
Ask him to go to the archives to sort out the relevant information about the Steam Pie, assign him a few assistants, and give him more tasks so that he can't finish them tonight."

Smart people need no explanation, they know how to do things.

The star thought he had to work overtime for the steam restoration party, and when he went to the archives room, he complained a lot.

Chen Changrui made a plan, Li Banfeng made some modifications, each department gathered people, the logistics department arranged vehicles, and Li Banfeng immediately took people to the factory.

Li Banfeng entered the workshop quietly. The workers were still working and 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 a very fast speed.

He found the general manager's office on the third floor and pushed the door open and walked in.

Sitting behind the desk was a tall, dark-skinned man, holding a powder box and touching up his makeup in front of the mirror.

The powder he used was very fragrant. He took the powder puff and rubbed it on his face a few times. The man was quite satisfied. He turned his head to look at Li Banfeng and asked softly, "Who are you looking for?"

The fact that he noticed Li Banfeng proves that this person has a high level of cultivation.

Li Banfeng smiled and said, "Are you Han Xiaoxuan, the person in charge of the factory?"

"It's me. What can I do for you?" Han Xiaoxuan closed the powder box and looked at Li Banfeng with a smile.

hiss~
Li Banfeng heard the crisp sound of steam being released through the wire earrings.

"Are you the general manager of this factory?" Li Banfeng closed the office door. "I came to buy some face cream from you."

"Are you looking for me to buy face cream?" Han Xiaoxuan praised, "You have a good eye! You are good at business!"

"It's not like I know how to do business," Li Banfeng sat opposite Han Xiaoxuan, "It's mainly because my family is waiting for dinner."
