Vegas.

The streets and casinos are still bustling, but beneath this surface, an undercurrent is surging.

Li Zitao has been staying here for half a month, and the reward for clues has also risen from the initial 500 US dollars to 5,000 US dollars.

The bounty has multiplied tenfold, making countless people blush.

In particular, gamblers and drunkards who have lost nothing wander around with red eyes that have not slept for several nights, and their faces are vicious.

In the past, if this happened, the police or special guards who were responsible for maintaining law and order in Vegas would quietly 'send' them out.

But lately, they don't seem to be able to see it, as long as they don't get involved in hurting people, and let them wander the streets.

"Boss, this is today's newspaper. In the penthouse suite, Li Zitao was eating, and Amy handed him the information that had been sorted out in the newspaper.

There is too much information to know, and now Li Zitao no longer reads every newspaper himself.

Instead, the secretary around him was responsible for screening out the important information, cutting it out, and pasting it on the white paper in the document for Li Zitao to see.

In the past two days, the major "social" and "entertainment" newspapers have commented on the changes in Vegas.

The Chicago Tribune conducted a poll in which people lamented the deterioration of law and order in Vegas.

The Miami Herald reported on the matter in a tactful manner, pointing out the harm that Vegas's temptation and the profiteering behind it brought to people and families, and mentioning that 'when law and order cannot be maintained, Vegas' attractiveness will gradually decline......

In this vein, the Protestants once again stood up and denounced the 'wicked' city, calling on people and believers to stay away from the 'depravity'. ’

Li Zitao just glanced at such information, and didn't even bother to read the specific content.

Since the founding of Vegas, it has been resisted by various sects, and there have been demonstrations organized here to protest.

In the end, the local council was scared back.

In this era, there is a limit to the so-called freedom, and the believers do not dare to go too far.

Otherwise, the repression of the 'Subsidy Army' at the Da'Ana Costia Bridge will be repeated in Vegas, which is still a wasteland.

Although their march did not make any difference, the verbal criticism in the newspapers never ended.

When the faithful have nothing to do or want to show their presence, Sin City, full of **, depravity, darkness and temptation, is brought up again.

The Association was once distressed, but after Mr. Li's Los Angeles News Corporation grew stronger, it turned into a form of schadenfreude on the sidelines.

"Did you find a useful clue?" Putting away the cropped text, Li Zitao frowned a little impatiently.

He hadn't found any useful clues for so long, and his patience was running out.

"Some people say that they have seen him at the train station outside the city, but it has not been confirmed yet!" Glancing at Ariel who was sitting next to her, Amy said in a low voice: "There seems to be something wrong with the accounts here." ”

"Yes. Quietly putting the carrot pie in his mouth, Li Zitao wiped his mouth, greeted Xu Man and his daughter, and took her out of the room.

"Who is it?" As soon as he walked out of the door, the light smile on Li Zitao's face retracted.

"A lot of people... At the moment, it is a manager under Lady Avril that can be proven, and further up..."Amy pursed her lips and closed her voice.

It was undoubtedly dangerous to think about it further, and that was not something that she or the Ministry of Supervision could handle, so she would inform her boss when the news was not confirmed.

"Avril?" Li Zitao stopped in surprise.

Do the Mellon family want to monopolize Vegas, or get more shares and make more money?

Li Zitao has never underestimated the greed of human nature, so he is very generous.

But to say that Mellon is willing to risk offending him and make trouble in Vegas, Li Zitao does not think this is a knowing choice.

Compared with other consortia, the Mellon family is very low-key.

And there is very little negative news about them, and when it comes to business, Mellon is greedy and trustworthy.

This is the reputation that Mellon has maintained for generations, and now, for the sake of a Vegas, tens of millions of dollars in dividends every year, they want to destroy the family's reputation?

"I'll be in touch with Avril personally and get people to keep an eye on that manager. Li Zitao didn't believe Mellon would do that.

Because it's just so stupid!

The biggest combination of interests of Mellon and Lee is in Lee's Holdings, which is dominated by Wells Fargo.

For tens of millions of dollars, give up hundreds of millions or even billions of future billions, tens of billions of earnings, is anyone crazy?

Turning his head to the study, Li Zitao picked up the phone and dialed Avril's number.

10 minutes later, Avril called back in person, and the two communicated about the matter, her tone visibly shocked.

"Duronk, how could he do that?... Charlie, please give me some time, I'll find out,

If he really makes a mistake, Mellon will definitely compensate everyone for the loss!"

Avril quickly hung up the phone, Li Zitao turned his head to look at Amy, and said, "Send someone to her, I think Avril will take care of it." ”

Although some clues have been found, it is still unknown how this incident is related to the disappearance of the Ombudsman.

For the sake of Lawrence and Avril Lavril, Li Zitao did not choose to extort confessions by words and deeds, but handed over people to them, and only needed a positive answer.

The bounty and follow-up of the Ombudsman continues.

It's just that he can't stay here any longer, Santa Barbara has more important things waiting for him, and this time it's good news.

............

Santa Barbara, Skunk Works International R&D Center.

An experiment is underway at the newly built Intel-IBM Cutting-Edge Lab Center.

A complex machine that occupies an entire room is lighting up under the operation of the staff.

Bundles of cables the thickness of a baby's wrist were tossed on the floor, and the room looked like a cluttered cargo hold.

But it was these seemingly messy instruments and cables that took nearly three years of work for more than 200 researchers at the Intel-IBM Advanced Lab Center.

"It's officially launched. The head of the lab, Calles, raised his arm and waved it down.

"Launch. ”

"Launch. ”

Buzzing......

Electricity and machine humming sounded, the tube computer began to work, strings of numbers and codes skipped over the flashing screen.

“yes。 Calles waved his arms vigorously, and the entire laboratory burst into thunderous applause, and Li Zitao was also applauding them.

It is a real behemoth, composing it with more than 22,000 tubes, covering an area of 180 square meters and weighing 33 tons.

It consumes about 200 kilowatts of power, and according to previous experiments, it is capable of performing 1000+ operations per second.

Although from the perspective of Li Zitao's later generations, this thing is simply bad, but in this era, its birth is a miracle.
