Chapter 146: The Capital Sinks

Qi Binxuan sat in a small reception room of the Weapons and Equipment Research Institute, flipping through the investigation report that Zhu Yunpeng and Zhou Daring had obtained from the royal guards.

Qi Binxuan flipped through carefully, reading page by page very carefully, stopping from time to time to write something in his notebook.

After about half an hour, Qi Binxuan put down the investigation report and said to Zhu Yunpeng and Zhou Daring: "You have just read these reports, what are your opinions?"

Zhu Yunpeng and Zhou Daring glanced at each other, and then Zhu Yunpeng said, "We also took a rough look just now. The personnel under investigation are divided into researchers and security personnel. They all signed confidentiality agreements, and after review, they were innocent. Moreover, suspicious persons would not be assigned to such an important scientific research project. During the 10 days of the development of Jinxing bomb, the scientific research personnel and security personnel were basically under closed management in the research institute. Living materials and scientific research materials are arranged and transported by special personnel, which are two systems. Communication equipment is also shielded in the research institute, and can only be communicated with the outside world through a dedicated line. The intranet is also used in normal times, and there is no relevant research data record on the extranet at all. There doesn't seem to be anything missing from the security measures. ”

Zhou boldly added: "The only thing that can convey information to the outside world is yesterday's live-fire exercise, but if it was yesterday's internal ghost and spy contact, we should not have made a precise plan in just one day to steal two finished gold bullets from the heavily guarded weapons and equipment research institute." It was a bomb, huge in size, not two pieces of paper, and it was taken casually. ”

Qi Binxuan nodded and said approvingly: "Although it is not ruled out that the other party's spies are well-trained and act decisively, the chances of stealing two golden bullets in one day are indeed very small." ”

"Judging from their modus operandi, hackers controlled the intranet monitoring system, disarmed the automatic alarm device, subdued the security personnel with a tranquilizer gun, and stole the gold bullet with a vehicle of the same model that transported research materials," said Ruyunpeng. It must have been a premeditated, well-planned espionage operation. They have a clear understanding of the security measures and the time of the inspection, and there must be someone familiar with the betrayal. ”

Zhou Daring also hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, you see, if the researchers and security personnel are not suspicious, then it can only be other relevant people." Could it be the information sold by other insiders before yesterday's test? ”

Qi Binxuan frowned and said, "The rest of the people who know are all noble figures, and selling intelligence is not beneficial to them, and there is no need. Atlantis is unified, and their status has risen, much better than being spies, and they can do it too much. ”

Zhou Daring said: "Then who knows, throughout the ages, there are still few high-ranking officials who have committed treason, maybe there is one in Atlantis." Zhou Daring really deserves the word bold in his name, and his words are full of recklessness.

Qi Binxuan waved his hand, signaling that this topic was over. If high-ranking officials are really involved, this is indeed not something they can solve.

Qi Binxuan pinched his frowning brow with his hand, as if he wanted to smooth it out with his hand.

Suddenly, Qi Binxuan's eyes glanced at his own notes next to him, and a line of records written by himself on them attracted his attention.

After that, Qi Binxuan rummaged through a stack of materials, found the information corresponding to the line of notes, looked at it for a long time, and then said: "Look at this, Balke, the president of the Weapons and Equipment Research Institute, left the research institute to attend an important academic conference on the fifth day, and returned the next morning to continue to participate in research. ”

Zhu Yunpeng said: "We watched this, he reported and left in accordance with the regulations, and he did go to the academic conference, and he also made a speech at the meeting, which cannot be faked." ”

"Then why did you return the next morning?"

"Generally, there should be a dinner bar at the end of the meeting, which will be held by the organizer to facilitate the communication and communication of the participants. The banquet ended late, so it was normal to stay in the upstairs room of the hotel for one night and return the next day. Zhou boldly replied.

Qi Binxuan said: "According to common sense, it is normal. But surveys are different, and should generally be explained in detail, especially at night. The dean, Balke, did not confess. This kind of misleading by relying on people's habitual thinking is generally to cover up some things. If the investigators don't get it right, it's a mess. If it is more true and the investigation is more careful, then it will be confessed again, I am not lying, but no one asks. ”

"I'm going to have someone look into it again. Zhou Daring jumped up from his seat and ran out.

Zhu Yunpeng joked with a smile: "Boss Qi is very researched about this set." Do you usually lie about experiments?"

Qi Binxuan's face was not red and his heart was not beating: "How is it possible." I'm also a university lecturer, and that's all from the experience of catching students lying. ”

It didn't take long for Zhou Daring to come back and say: "It's really as Counselor Qi said, this dean didn't stay at the organizer's hotel at night, but returned to his home. I spent the night at home with my wife before returning to the graduate school. The reason why he did not explain it before was because according to the regulations, contact with outsiders should be avoided as much as possible during the study. But after all, he is the dean, and he has already left to participate in the academic forum, and he is his wife, so it is not too serious. ”

After Qi Bin heard this, he felt that this clue was broken again, frowned slightly, and looked at his notes again.

Rui Yunpeng and Zhou Daring also picked up the investigation materials of the guards again to see if there were any clues that they hadn't noticed before.

Qi Binxuan thought to himself, sure enough, detectives are not so easy to be, the famous detectives who slapped their brains and directly guessed the answer in movies and TV series all exist in novels.

In the end, Qi Binxuan's eyes were fixed on Dean Balke's note. It seems that this one is the only one that is more suspicious.

Qi Binxuan thought for a while and said, "Let the guards investigate the information of Balk's wife to see if there is any abnormal consumption record in his social situation." Remember to investigate secretly and don't startle the snake. ”

Zhou boldly took the order and left.

Qi Binxuan stood up and said to Zhu Yunpeng: "We can't help here, let's go back first." Wait until they have new clues. ”

Rui Yunpeng also got up and asked, "Do you want to go and say hello to Dr. Li?"

"No, he's going home today. ”

Li Hengzhong returned home and found that the roaring dog and Andrea were not at home, knowing that they had gone out together, so he opened the locked study door, closed it again after entering, turned on the computer, found his special helmet and hard disk, and started another operation after connecting.

In the evening, Andrea returned home with the whistling dog, and while opening the door, Andrea complained: "You are so bad today, how can you chase those cute cats endlessly." Make a good lab and make a mess of you. ”

The Howling Dog replied, "How can you blame me for that. I strictly followed the agreement. You see, I translate more languages in a day than they do for more than half a month. It's going so fast, what's wrong with letting the cats play with me for a while. ”

As he spoke, he saw Andrea's serious expression and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Shhhh When I went out, I was sure that I locked the door, but when I opened it, I only twisted it around and opened it. ”

"Who is coming back to steal dog food from our place?" said the Howling Dog, but slowed down, tiptoeing, well, tiptoeing into the house.

Outside the study door, Andrea stood and listened carefully, faintly hearing a groan of pain inside the door. Just as she was about to break down the door, the Howling Sky Dog hurriedly stopped her and said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's Dr. Li inside." ”

"Then it's even more necessary to open the door. Listen to the voice, he is injured, and we must hurry up to save him. Andrea became even more anxious when she heard this.

"No, no, it's happened several times. You don't care, everyone has their own secrets, you don't bother him. The Howling Dog explained.

Andrea just wanted to say something more, but she seemed to think of something inappropriate for children in her mind, coupled with the secret that the Howling Dog said, so she ran away with a red face.

The roaring dog felt inexplicable, and walked away, blushing and being shy.

After nearly half an hour, Li Hengzhong opened the door of the study and walked out, sweating profusely and prostrating.

Seeing Andrea and the Howling Dog back, he said hello and went to take a shower.

Andrea looked at Li Hengzhong's vain steps and muttered, "I don't know how to pay attention to my body." ”

While the two of them were eating at the table together, the Howling Dog asked, "Why did you come back today? Aren't you unable to go home during the study, is it because you miss me?"

Hearing the Howling Dog's question, Andrea pricked up her ears.

"Hey, you're really self-inflicted. Li Hengzhong said: "It's the research institute that has encountered something, I came to get something at home, and I will go back to research and development tomorrow, and it is estimated that I will not be able to come back for at least half a month." ”

"Okay, let's go, let's go. Anyway, I have Andrea with me at home, and I can tease the cat during the day, which is quite fun. ”

"You're not going to the military dog base, why are you still teasing the cat?"

Andrea took over the conversation and explained: "The army has opened a new military cat research base to develop helmets that can enable cats to communicate with people, doesn't this allow the howling dog to be a translator, not to mention that it is doing a good job." ”

"Do you still know how to talk?" Li Hengzhong was really surprised this time. Although he knew the true identity of the Howling Sky Dog, there was no book about the fairy who could speak cat language.

"A little bit of understanding, a little understanding. The Howling Dog replied modestly.

After eating, Andrea cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks and went to the kitchen to wash, Li Hengzhong leaned in front of the door frame and talked to Andrea without a match. Talk about some childhood troubles and some interesting stories in the army.

After that, the two sat on the sofa, sat on the left and right sides of the howling dog, and accompanied the howling dog to see the animal world.

Both of them were stroking the shiny hair of the Howling Dog, touching their hands from time to time, and their hearts rippled.

The whistling dog drooped his eyelids and said to himself, you two don't bother me here, my hair is about to make you bald.

The roaring dog just wanted to get up and go to the bedroom to watch TV, but there was a strong force on his back, and he was pressed back, feeling the direction of the force, which was Li Hengzhong pressed himself. Hey, this little plum is getting more and more presumptuous, don't you know how to respect your elders.

After a while, the howling dog felt a burst of urgency to urinate, and wanted to get up again, but it was pressed down again, this time the feeling was stronger, this direction, it was Andrea, worthy of the army, and her hand strength was much stronger than that of the doctor.

With tears in his eyes, he said in his heart that you should stop balding, and if you don't let go of your hands, I will pee on the sofa for you.

Eventually, the two of them let the dog go to the toilet because it was too late and it was time to go to bed.

Seeing the two of them return to their own rooms, the Howling Sky Dog sighed in his heart, why are they still so reserved, do they still want to let themselves be pestered, be a matchmaker?

In the office of the General Staff, Qi Binxuan was playing chess with Zhu Yunpeng, with a serious face, sitting upright, as if he was engaged in a military conference battle. At this time, Zhou Daring ran in and shouted, "I found it, I found it." ”

Qi Binxuan waved his hand, signaling Zhou Daring not to speak first, then put down a black circle and said, "Double three, you lost." ”

With his big chubby hand, Zhu Yunpeng stroked on the chessboard, messed up the chess game, and said: "If you don't play, you can't play, it's important to do business." ”

Zhou Daring was not in a hurry to report, and said: "Why did you play backgammon." Shouldn't you play chess or Go as your staff officer?"

Zhu Yunpeng said dissatisfiedly: "Staff Officer Qi fought against ten last time, who would dare to play chess with him." As for Go, we won't. ”

Zhu Yunpeng is not ashamed to say that the thickness of his face is the same as his physical thickness.

Only then did Zhou Daring report: "It's really as Staff Officer Qi speculated. There is something wrong with this Balk's wife. According to some residents in the surrounding area, she often hangs out with a young man in his twenties, and the young man also retrieved the footage through the surrounding surveillance facilities, and through the comparison database, it was concluded that he was a relatively famous spy in the three countries of Yasan, known for his emotional deception to obtain information. ”

Zhu Yunpeng said with a smile: "In your twenties, this is really an old cow eating tender grass." ”

"Who said no, this Balk is really a hungry ghost, he is in his fifties, and he is not at home because of his work for a long time, no wonder the spy took advantage of it. Zhou boldly agreed.

"Wait, you don't seem to be talking the same thing as me. Ru Yunpeng interrupted: "I was talking about Balke's wife just now. By the way, how old is his wife?"

"Early twenties. ”

"So young?"

"Yes, this is his third wife, and the previous two divorced for various reasons. Obviously, this is for his status and money. ”

Qi Binxuan brought the topic back on track: "So, can it be determined that Balk told his wife about the situation of the research institute, and then his wife leaked the secret?"

"Probably not. Zhou Daring continued: "Judging from Balke's reputation and usual performance, he is more rigid and honest about his work, not like a person who will leak information. But he had a problem, sleeping and talking in his sleep. This was heard from a colleague with whom he was on a business trip. I guess he went home to bed the night he talked in his sleep about researching new weapons. His wife spoke out again during a tryst with the spy, which attracted the spy's attention. As for the security measures of the research institute, for spies, as long as they are given time, there will always be a way to inquire about them. ”

"Are there any whereabouts of those two golden bullets?" Qi Binxuan asked.

"No, but at dawn, a private plane flew out of the airport and headed for Yasan, most likely with a golden bullet. ”

"Hey, it's really cheap. As long as you take it apart and copy it, you can get a new weapon manufacturing technology. Ru Yunpeng said angrily: "Now I hate piracy very much. ”

"Let's go, Spy, arrest him. According to the investigation, the spy thought it was not exposed and stayed at a hotel near Balk's home. Zhou Daring also said angrily.

Qi Binxuan stood up and walked slowly two steps on crutches, and Zhou Daring followed behind and waited to listen to instructions.

I saw Qi Binxuan suddenly stand still, and casually pulled the crutches into a stick, and the crutches almost touched Zhou Dayang's head, so frightened that he hurriedly took a few steps back.

Qi Binxuan laughed and said, "You don't need to arrest him, let's just make a plan." ”

The next day, the military issued an investigation report to the effect that after a detailed investigation, it was the security captain who had communicated with foreign countries, leaked scientific research secrets, and facilitated the spies' theft of gold and ammunition. The royal guards arrested the security captain, but what was done was not reported.

After that, Zhan Fu visited the Equipment Research Institute again, comforted the researchers, affirmed their previous achievements, and encouraged them to make persistent efforts to continue to develop more excellent weapons and equipment.

As if he had received Zhan Fu's encouragement, Li Hengzhong was extremely excited, stood up and said to Zhan Fu: "I have other bomb research ideas. ”

Zhan Fu was also very interested when he heard it, and asked Li Hengzhong to come to the stage to report in detail.

Li Hengzhong came to the front desk and said: "In fact, the Jinxing bomb is only a part of the bomb I want to develop. My research is a series called Five Element Bullets, which are five types of gold bullets, wood bullets, water bullets, fire bullets, and earth bullets. Jin Xingtan won't say much. Let me talk about the other four bombs. ”

After that, through Li Hengzhong's explanation, everyone knew the approximate power and role of the other four bombs.

Wooden bombs are graphite bombs that are known for their explosive power. Compared with those extremely lethal weapons, its effect is to stop the network communication facilities from working, so that the other party becomes deaf and blind, as if entering the Stone Age. Although this kind of bomb does not hurt people, the damage caused by its effect is not small. The core ingredient of this bomb is carbon fiber. After exploding in the air, the carbon fibers in the bomb will be scattered in the air to block the circuit, causing the circuit to short and break in the air. After the bomb exploded, an insulator was formed to prevent the communication equipment from spreading through the air.

The Water Bomb is filled with an improved cloud burst agent that can instantly vacuum the space in an enclosed environment. The radius of damage is not too large, but it can make enemies feel like they are drowning, and they will suffocate even if they are not killed by the bomb.

The Fire Bullet is an improved version of the Incendiary Bullet. The combustion temperature of the thermite filled with it can reach 3000 °C, which is mainly used to burn buildings and fortifications, and has strong adhesion. The effectiveness of damage to flammable targets is more than ten times higher than that of blasting bombs.

The earth bomb is a kind of shock bomb. Through a special warhead, the bomb can be drilled deep into the ground of the target, and by generating a sonic boom of a specific frequency, the earth can resonate to achieve the effect of a small earthquake. Works wonders for destroying enemy military bases.

After Li Hengzhong finished explaining, it aroused warm applause from the audience.

Zhan Fu excitedly held Dr. Li Hengzhong's hands and shook them incessantly, hoping that he could do his best to complete the research and development of the Five Elements Bomb as soon as possible and enhance the national strength of Atlantis.

On behalf of all the staff of the institute, Balk also expressed his full cooperation with Dr. Li Hengzhong to complete the research and development of the five-element bomb.

Qi Binxuan stood in the corner, looked at the people who were performing, and thought, sure enough, Zhan Lao Er has grown up, he was just a rich second generation before, and after the tempering of officialdom, he can already put on a show. But you, a doctor, why is your expression so stiff, the princes have taken your fingerprints out of your hand, why don't you even give you a smile.

As for Balk, hehe, forget it, sometimes the ignorant are the happiest.

With the successful experience of Jinxing ammunition, the other four types of five-element ammunition were developed at a very fast speed. In the process of studying the Five Elements Bomb, the military cat training base has also achieved phased results.

The cat language translator is already able to translate the language that is usually used.

Zhan Fu took a group of executives and staff officers to the military cat training base to accept the results.

Through the verbal orders of the breeders, the military cats made a series of military regulatory actions such as reconnaissance, distinguishing items, planting small time bombs, and placing bugs, which were recognized and affirmed by everyone.

But what is a little flawed is that when the military cat answers, the language from the translator will always appear how this meow is, and the tone is full of arrogance.

Moreover, for the military cats that have completed the exercise task, when the breeder asks them what they want to eat, the military cat replies: "Ben Meow wants to eat pork ribs." However, when the keeper brought the delicious ribs, they said that they didn't want to eat this, they wanted to eat the ribs. The keeper said that this was the ribs, but he didn't want to eat it. The existing delicious pork ribs were thrown away and wasted, and they could only be given to the roaring dogs watching the excitement next to them. Fortunately, the roaring dog eats a lot and is not picky, so it does not let the ribs go to waste.

Finally, Zhan Fu walked in front of the military cat queue, smiling as he inspected his future troops. However, under Zhan Fu's kind and charitable gaze, a cat suddenly said, "What are you looking at?" ”

The scene was very awkward for a while, except for a pastoral dog who was happily rolling on the ground in the distance, everyone else seemed to freeze.

It was Zhan Fu who was the first to break the silence and said, "These cats are really naughty." Very distinctive, nice, nice. ”

Zhan Fu said that the military dog training base was officially listed, and the book was "naughty meow meow team".

After more than 20 days of hard work, Li Hengzhong finally succeeded in developing the five-element bomb. However, he was not very satisfied with the bomb he developed, so with the help of the researchers, he combined the five types of bombs into one and became the real five-element bomb.

Li Hengzhong looked at this bomb like a work of art and exclaimed: "This is the perfect bomb in my mind." It is suitable for different occasions, has lethal deterrence, can kill, control the field and destroy, it is simply an all-rounder. It's a pity that the technique is complicated and the process is cumbersome, but such a finished product is manufactured. ”

After that, Li Hengzhong said to the researchers: "I have already reported the live-fire test, and I will wait for it to be carried out in three days." During this period, everyone worked hard, gave everyone two days off, and came back on time on the third day to report, and everyone met the test with the most energetic state. ”

The crowd cheered and left one after another.

Balk also excitedly drove his car back to his gentle mound. The doorbell rang, and after a long time, his young and beautiful wife opened the door, and when she saw Balk, she smiled reluctantly, and said, "Why have you come back after so many days?"

"Work requires it, and you can't get rid of it. As soon as the holiday was over, I hurried home. Why did it take so long for you to open the door. ”

"I was sleeping and I heard the bell ringing, so I got up and opened the door. ”

When Balk entered the door and walked into the house with his wife's waist in his arms, a shadow slipped down the bedroom window, and not long after, a luxury car slowly drove away not far away.

In an inconspicuous van, Zhou boldly put down his binoculars and shouted to the two royal guards in the front row: "It's him, it's him, follow quickly, don't lose it." ”

"Don't worry, there's still monitoring all the time. There are also our patrol planes in the sky, which have been specially added to the frequency and can be supported at any time. Saying this, the royal guard still stepped on the accelerator and followed from a distance.

In the laboratory of the research institute, Qi Binxuan stood in front of the huge five-element bomb and asked Li Hengzhong, who was modifying the bomb, "Can you do it alone?"

"Of course, we're doctors, and we still have this hands-on ability. ”

Qi Binxuan looked at the volume of the Five Elements Bomb and asked curiously, "What's the difference between your Five Elements Bomb and the five bombs of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth tied together and exploded together?"

"How can this be the same. Although the five element bombs are also arranged and combined through small gold, wood, water, fire and earth bombs, the effect of different arrangements is different. Just like stir-frying, each ingredient is a taste when stir-fried individually, but different ingredients can be mixed and stir-fried to make different delicious dishes. Just like the cosmic big roasted wheat in "The Little Master of China", the whole pig is wrapped in it, and you can eat all the delicious food in a pig, and diners can decide what they like to eat. Different combinations, endless mysteries. That's what I got from that, and I combined the scattered five-element bullets into one real one. ”

Qi Binxuan was silent in thought, as if he was digesting Li Hengzhong's words. After a few minutes, he said: "In other words, you are such a big person, and you still watch the cartoon "Little Master of China", which is only watched by children?"

"No, no, no. Li Hengzhong hurriedly denied it, and then said: "I watched TV with the Roaring Sky Dog, and I only watched a few episodes." When the dog saw the real thing, his saliva came out and he yelled for me to buy him food on TV. ”

"Haha, you don't have to explain. I also like to watch some anime, increase childlike fun, relieve stress, and mediate the mood. There's something to be embarrassed to admit. ”

Li Hengzhong let out a sigh of relief, and then said, "Even, it turns out that you also love to watch it." That's fine, don't mention, some cartoons are really classic. ”

"So, you admit that you like to watch cartoons that only children watch?"

"You're not done?"

The two laughed, but Li Hengzhong kept working on his hands, and after a few hours of transformation, he finally completed the task.

Li Hengzhong looked at his results and said with satisfaction: "Not bad, not bad, the modification is perfect, and then we will wait for the courier." Do you think they'll take orders?"

"Don't worry. I've got double insurance. ”

At night, Balk lay in bed, snoring and snoring. His wife next to him didn't feel sleepy in the slightest, squinting her eyes and looking at Balk with resentment.

Suddenly, Balk shouted: "The Five Elements Bullet has finally succeeded, and we will definitely be unified." He startled his wife.

"What a mess, last time it was a gold bullet, this time it is a five-element bullet. I don't know if anyone is interested in this five-element bullet. The last time I asked me about Jin Xingdan, I couldn't answer, and he was very unhappy. The wife thought to herself.

At this moment, Balk's phone vibrated and the screen lit up for a few seconds before going off again.

The wife opened it and found a message from an unfamiliar mobile phone.

"Dean Ba, as you said last time, when the Five Elements Bomb is successfully developed, you will promote me to vice president. Although the results are not yet available, the trial will definitely be successful in three days. You must recommend me. Next time we go on a business trip together, I will definitely make you even more satisfied. Love your touch. ”

The wife was very angry, and looked at Balk more fiercely, and said with a curse in her mouth: "This old pervert. ”

After that, the wife got up, picked up her phone, quietly went to the balcony, dialed a number, and whispered something.

In a surveillance car not far away, Rui Yunpeng listened to the voice of Balk's wife's phone eavesdropped on the machine operated by the royal guard, and sent a message to Qi Binxuan: "The courier has taken the order." ”

The days of rest passed quickly, the three days passed in a flash, and on the morning of the third day, the researchers returned to work one after another. However, as soon as I entered the research institute, I looked at the military uniforms of those dazzling royal guards and felt the solemn atmosphere, this scene was so familiar.

There was a bad feeling in everyone's hearts. After inquiry, I learned that the five-element bullet had been stolen again.

This time, everyone realized that the case that was cleared last time was not completely resolved. This is the same mistake again. It is not known who the real spy is this time. The researcher looked at the familiar faces beside him, and felt a little unfamiliar, and unconsciously distanced himself.

Knowing people and knowing faces but not knowing their hearts, the ancients did not deceive me.

At this time, several royal guards came to Balk, showed him a document with an official seal, and then took him away. When everyone saw this, they were very surprised, could it be that the dean was a spy, this is also incredible.

The researchers were placed under the watchful eye of the royal guards, and although freedom of access was restricted, the Internet was not banned.

Idle and bored, the researchers swiped the news and watched movies.

Suddenly, a researcher held his mobile phone and exclaimed, "Yasandu City has sunk!"
