The confidential officer opened the safe for materials and samples, and there were two leather suitcases inside, revealing a piece of hemp rope thick as a little finger, and three locks hanging on it.Mao Renfeng took out a key that he carried with him and opened a lock, the security officer took out a key and opened another lock, and then Von Neumann also took out a key to open the last lock, After opening the box, it was surprising to find that the hemp rope was connected to a napalm bomb and a thermite bomb bundled together.In an emergency, just pull the hemp rope, and the information inside can be destroyed immediately.Usually, a napalm bomb is enough, but, just to be on the safe side, a thermite bomb is added. The thermite bomb has its own oxidizer, and even if it is ignited underwater, the heat released is enough to make the data burn in a few seconds. Boiled into a pulp.Inside the box was a large brown paper bag with the words "Top Secret" printed on it, and the seal was sealed with wax.Von Neumann signed the confidential officer's record book, opened the file bag, looked through the documents carefully, raised his head, and said, "No problem." Then he checked the sample box in the same way. , is equally safe.In view of the accident, these two items have been taken over by the Security Bureau for a period of time after consultation and necessary procedures.

At night, von Neumann tossed and turned in bed, thinking over and over again, where did the problem come from?Frankly speaking, although the level of secrecy of the fuze is high, the difficulty of stealing it is not higher than stealing explosive samples.Although there is an extra cowhide box, he believes that he can open the box carefully without destroying the documents, not to mention the well-trained technicians of the spy department.There seems to be only one explanation for the safety of the fuze data, and that is that the secret agents did not know that there was such a thing.

This kind of weapon device and map information are absolutely confidential. As a first-level scientist in the vault laboratory, although I know some information, I will do it with my most trusted student in the designated area, and on any other occasion. Keep silent.However, this does not explain the problem. The only thing that can be determined is that except for the few technicians, everyone else is a suspect.Thinking of this, von Neumann smiled wryly and shook his head.

He warned himself again that he must not lose his clear mind at this time. Now that his mind is in a mess, he simply lay on the bed, closed his eyes, and played a game of combinatorics in his head.After playing for an unknown amount of time, he fell asleep in a daze.Later, von Neumann was called up. He scooped up a handful of water and wiped his face carelessly, then got into the jeep that came to pick him up.

It was another tense and strict inspection, and von Neumann came to the small meeting room the day before yesterday.The atmosphere in the room was solemn and smoky. Seeing von Neumann coming to the venue, Mao Renfeng said, "Mr. Neumann, I'm sorry to bother you, let's continue."

"According to the latest intelligence, the secret agents lurking in our interior have figured out the details of some aspects of the vault laboratory. It is not difficult to imagine that with such comprehensive information, they are an indefinite time bomb that may detonate at any time At this point, Mao Renfeng's cold eyes swept over the congregation, and Von Neumann felt his heart tremble.

Von Neumann asked Mao Renfeng, "Is it because the phone line was tapped?"

Mao Renfeng said: "This possibility has been ruled out."

Then, there are only two possibilities left, one is that the spy is von Neumann himself, and the other is that the spy is one of von Neumann's closest people.However, he himself knows best that he only stole samples of nuclear material that night, and he has no intention of obtaining weapons information and maps at all.Could it be the eavesdropping equipment in his own laboratory?It's also impossible, the Security Bureau has irregular radio monitoring, and their own laboratory has always been the focus of their monitoring.However, apart from eavesdropping, what other means can get the news so clearly?Wiretapping?This is simply impossible!Tapping of recordings, regular replacement of recording media?This is even more impossible. The common recording equipment in this era is the record, and the recording equipment is all stupid and black. Can it be hidden in the vault?Speaking of records, he seemed to think of something.He wanted to ask Mao Renfeng, through what channels did he obtain these materials, which would be very helpful to his thinking, but the fool also understands that information acquisition channels are the lifeblood of an intelligence agency, and he would not tell unrelated human.

When leaving the venue, he proposed to go back to his laboratory and asked to borrow two better radio direction finders, Mao Renfeng did not refuse him.When Mao Renfeng asked him if he wanted a technician, he smiled and declined.Mao Renfeng is also very clear that facing this giant of science, his technicians are by no means only 01:30 points behind him in terms of technology.

Von Neumann knew very well that there must be something wrong in his laboratory. The investigation results of the Security Bureau have ruled out the possibility of the laboratory. Now they are still focusing on Area 3 and carefully forensic analysis. His unique sensitivity tells him that his laboratory is by no means so simple.A fire of ignorance rose together with confidence and the belief in winning. If it was just playing with technology, the technicians of the secret service department would have to weigh their own strengths if they wanted to fight him.

When he arrived at the door of his laboratory, he turned on the on-board radio reconnaissance equipment, pointed the direction-finding antenna at his laboratory, and a smooth thin wavy line was displayed on the oscilloscope screen.He turned the gain to the maximum, turned the shuttle over and over again, and the reading on the dial was slowly changing. However, there was no obvious display on the screen of the oscilloscope, and there was only rustling radio noise in the earphone.It seems that the car station is out of order, let's go in and check it with a portable tester.

Von Neumann's office is his living room, which is very simple, with a large table on which there are drawing instruments, draft paper, and a computer.Then there is a bookcase, and then there is a bed, a low cabinet in front of the bed, on which there is a record player made in Germany, and a four-lamp electronic tube radio that he assembled himself without even a case.

Dragon's Roar Chapter 32 Trembling Space

Von Neumann lived in Germany for several years and was fascinated by the brilliant achievements of German classical music. When he came to the Vault Lab, he brought this record player and a stack of classical music records in addition to his books.On the way here, the power supply part of this turntable was accidentally broken, and it was left idle for several months because the parts could not be found.Later, von Neumann bought some parts and prepared to assemble the radio and repair the power supply of the record player by himself.Considering that the record player is less concerned about electromagnetic interference, he replaced one of the two genuine transformers with a defective one that was to be scrapped.Back in the laboratory, he fiddled with the record player and installed a defective transformer on it. After a try, it was quite good, and he had to admire the quality of German products.

He wore headphones and adjusted the gain of the tester to the maximum. In the office, the rustling noise was a little less.He turned around several times, but there was still no response. It seemed that he could only agree with the investigation results of the Security Bureau.He saw that his favorite Beethoven's symphony "Fate" was still playing on the record player. Depressed, he put the shoulder strap of the tester on his shoulder and turned on the record player to listen to the music. "Squeak", strong radio clutter aroused from the transformer of the record player, he forgot to turn off the tester, adjusted the gain to the maximum tester, and faithfully transmitted this situation to von Neumann's ears through the headphones.The sudden noise made his ears hurt, and he couldn't help yelling "Ouch!" But at this moment, he clearly heard his own voice in his earphones.

There are indeed bugs, and they are very weird bugs!He didn't take off the headphones first, but turned off the record player first.The strong noise stopped abruptly. He grabbed a harmonica from the table and blew hard, but there was no response from the earphones.He turned on the record player again and blew on the harmonica. This time, the sound of the harmonica came from the earphones.Got it, the bug is inside the record player, connected to the record player's power supply.

He couldn't wait to turn on the record player and carefully inspected the parts one by one.An hour, two hours, three hours, four hours, it's been such a long time, and there is nothing suspicious in the record player.If there is, it is impossible to hide it from von Neumann's eyes.In desperation, he thought silently, the transformer of this record player will emit clutter, if the clutter exists, the bug works, and if the clutter does not exist, the bug does not work.And the bug wasn't in the record player.With a flash of inspiration, he ran outside, notified the security bureau, and quickly called in a low-power signal generator.Just 5 minutes later, the signal generator came.He called two men into his office, one of whom manipulated the signal generator, the other, with his harmonica, and von Neumann motioned them both to follow his gestures.

The signal generator was turned on, and the other person couldn't play the harmonica at all, and the harmonica was whining and out of tune.There was a strange harmonica sound in the earphones. Von Neumann searched carefully in the house with a tester. When he reached the bookshelf of the table, he stopped, listened carefully to the earphones for a few minutes, and then analyzed carefully. After seeing the reading on the tester, he waved his hand, and the signal generator and harmonica stopped at the same time.He ran outside, took an electromagnetic shielding box from the car, put the bookshelf in it, closed the lid, and then asked the two of them to start working again. At this time, in addition to the regular sound of the signal generator in the earphone, There is no more harmonica sound in the headphones.

The bug was found, it was in the bookshelf.With doubts, von Neumann pushed the driver of the car into the passenger seat, drove the car himself, and under the guidance of the driver, he rushed to the contact station of the Security Bureau at a suicide speed.

In the anechoic room with an ultra-wide frequency range, von Neumann took out the small bookshelf from the box and placed it on the stage of the high-power magnifying glass.He carefully opened the bottom cover of the bookshelf, revealing a gadget inside.He used tweezers with insulating rubber tips to pinch the gadget out, placed it on the stage, and turned on the white lighting around the magnifying glass.He was pleased to find that the spectrum of the lighting in this circle is almost the same as that of sunlight, that is, natural light, and there is no slight color difference on the objects, which is very comfortable for the eyes.He didn't have time to think about it, so he took a closer look at the bug. It has a diaphragm, a condenser microphone, and a coil, but it has no power supply. This thing has no power supply. What's going on?

He recalled the scene in the office, and in an instant, he understood, and couldn't help exclaiming, "Genius, absolute genius!" The people next to him gathered around and looked at him stupidly, and he explained, " The person who designed this bug is an absolute genius. This thing has no power supply and does not emit electromagnetic waves, so it is impossible to find it with passive radio direction-finding equipment. When it wants to work, it needs a beam of radio waves to shine on it. Work, the sound wave is transmitted to the condenser microphone, causing the capacitance to change, forming an LC oscillating loop with the coil, reflecting the sound signal after modulation, and receiving it by the receiver. This bug is usually impossible to find, and it does not need a power supply itself. , will not be exposed when changing the power supply, so in theory, it can be used indefinitely!"

Everyone present was shocked, because they were all knowledgeable people, the principle was not complicated, and people who could come up with such ideas had no other words to describe them except geniuses.

Von Neumann found the key point to solve the case, and everything began to become clear.That night, he worked with people from the technical department to repeatedly measure the parameters of the bug overnight, wrote a detailed test report, and reported it to the Security Bureau.The case seemed to have nothing to do with von Neumann, but he couldn't relax at all. His experiment had been suspended for 4 days. Every day, there were many things waiting for him to do. He analyzed the progress, his The work was 5 days faster than planned, and today it has been the same. If we are still stuck tomorrow, we may not be able to complete the task.Thinking of this, he directly called Zhao Bingjun to express his concerns and show his loyalty.Zhao Bingjun remained silent on the phone for a long time. To be honest, Zhao Bingjun also wanted the tired scientist to rest for a few days. However, it seems that what he did was no less than that of a detective.Finally, he told von Neumann, tomorrow, I will let you go back to work in the laboratory.

On the fifth day, von Neumann was ready to return to his job.Sitting in the jeep, he couldn't hide the joy in his heart.However, he still doesn't know that there is another bad luck waiting for him when he goes back.

Von Neumann walked into his studio, sat at the desk, and was about to tidy up and start working.Suddenly, he heard a slight ticking sound. Following the sound, he found a ticking time bomb under his pillow.Although, at this moment, his heart tightened, and his palms were unconsciously wet, but he did not panic. He looked at the bomb carefully. The bomb seemed to be very simple. At four o'clock in the afternoon, von Neumann looked at his watch. There were two more hours left.A series of question marks appeared in his mind, there is still such a long time, just run away by himself, which pig will wait here to die?After thinking about it, if he left like this, wouldn't the laboratory be blown up?There is no way but to dismantle the bomb.The man who planted the bomb really tickled von Neumann's itch.He picked up a flashlight and illuminated what was behind the bomb's alarm clock.

Trap, another trap!Behind the alarm clock are two thin glass tubes perpendicular to each other. There are two drops of silvery shiny things in the glass tubes, and there are electrodes at both ends. This is mercury.Once the bomb is moved, the mercury rolls to one end of the glass tube, the electrodes are connected, and the bomb should explode.It's also a great idea.After Von Neumann experienced the bug incident, his self-confidence has been completely defeated. Now he believes that sows fly in the sky when others tell him.Therefore, he was not too surprised to see the mercury level switch.However, there is a lot of space behind the alarm clock, so you can put needle-nose pliers in, break the glass tube, and the mercury will fall, isn't it all right?

Then, he carefully analyzed the circuit again. After confirming that there were no other traps, he directly took a spoon and put it under the tube. He used pliers to cut off the glass tube, and then cut off the wire connecting the alarm clock and the bomb detonator. nailed it.He swaggered and threw the bomb into the small lawn outside the laboratory building, like throwing away a clean apple core.He was still wondering, could it be that the secret agent's head was short-circuited?With such an advanced idea, to make such a low-level mistake?After making the phone call, the people from the Security Bureau came to close up. After a brief exchange, their expressions and their understanding of the mercury switch gave them a lot of benefits.

Next, von Neumann didn't have time to take care of things other than experiments, but he didn't seem to see his student Hu Siya these days.No. 12 days after the theft, the Security Bureau came.

The two agents who came to pick him up last time entered the door, and Von Neumann became angry when he saw them.But they were only acting in accordance with the law, and they didn't embarrass themselves, so he kept the basic politeness and asked them to sit down.The two people looked around and did not sit down.Von Neumann raised his head suspiciously, only to realize that there were no other seats in his studio.

The two people said straight to the point: "Mr. Neumann, the ins and outs of this incident have been thoroughly investigated. The main culprit is your student Hu Siya."

"Husiya?"

Roar of the Dragon Chapter 33

ps: It broke out today, five o'clock, those who have flowers will give flowers, and those who don't have flowers will be rewarded.

"Yes. This Hu Siya's real name is Wang Xuhua. She is the younger sister of Wang Xuchen, the person involved in the disappearance of Princess Xiaoyue. Unlike Wang Xuchen, she has received a good education since she was a child. Wang Xuhua, who was studying at Peking University, almost collapsed. At that time, people with ulterior motives took this opportunity to slander the imperial government. This made Wang Xuhua, who loves his brother deeply, under the instigation of some people, be very concerned about the imperial government and security. The bureau is full of hatred. However, she has not lost her mind. The hatred has not blinded her mind, but made her calmer and smarter. She studies hard and covers a wide range of subjects. Her original major is physics, and she studies mathematics, chemistry, and biology hard. , electronics, mechanics, psychology, reconnaissance and other subjects. Such an outstanding person has not escaped the eyes of the US spy agencies. From this, an outstanding spy was born." The agent's wording was rigorous and his language was precise, and it seemed that he had a solid foundation in knowledge and literature.

Von Neumann stood up from the chair, silently filled a pipe, lit it, exhaled a puff of smoke, and said quietly: "She is a genius and a good student. If it is really her, I can understand. Bugs and bombs are her masterpieces, only her, few others have that kind of mind."

"Yes, she confessed to the theft."

"is it?"

"She still has some questions that she hasn't explained. When she talked about you, she cried. She said that she would only speak out when she saw you."

"Then why are you still standing there? Hurry up!"

"Mr. Neumann, aren't you very busy at work?"

"Busy, no matter how busy you are, is it more important than human life?" Von Neumann gave the other side a dissatisfied look.

Wang Xuhua is a very smart girl, especially in mathematical thinking.Although there are many mathematicians in the laboratory, among the scientists, Einstein's mathematical skills are unmatched, but among the assistants and students, Wang Xuhua is definitely a top-notch character.Usually she is very good at being a person, has a good relationship with people, and is meticulous in handling things, which is very appreciated by von Neumann.When encountering certain problems, she can quickly find a solution.Hu Siya, also known as Wang Xuhua when she was a child, was also smart and beautiful, and also very kind, never putting on airs with servants.When encountering beggars or something, she is always willing to take part of her pocket money to help them.But after the Tianjin incident, Wang Xuhua completely turned herself into a pure revenge machine, came to the Dome Laboratory with excellent results, and lurked in the core area of ​​Imperial Technology. Later, due to work needs, she was assigned to Von Neumann His optical brain laboratory became his student.

Von Neumann came to the detention center where Wang Xuhua was detained with mixed emotions.After a rigorous inspection, he came to the interrogation room.When Wang Xuhua saw his teacher, he couldn't hold back his tears any longer, and began to cry loudly.After waiting for her to calm down, Von Neumann quietly walked to her side, his eyes still calm and deep.

"Teacher," Wang Xuhua sobbed.

Von Neumann still smiled and nodded, as if this was not in the interrogation room, but in the office.

"I planted the bug, planted the bomb, and stole the laboratory map. I made microfilms of these materials and sent them to the Americans, but...but I was bi!"

"I can understand."

"After joining the CIA, one day, my instructor brought me a bottle of wine, saying it was for me to celebrate. There were drugs in it, and I fell asleep in a daze. They actually came with 6 men. I gave..., and also, made photos and film films..." There was another burst of heart-piercing tears, and after crying, she continued: "From then on, I became a puppet without a soul. It was under control. When I came to the vault laboratory, the Americans told me to closely monitor everything in the laboratory and wait for an opportunity to steal top-secret scientific research data, but I don’t know why they want to get the map of the vault laboratory, As far as I know, the perimeter of the Chiba Islands is very well-defended, even if they have a map, how can they easily break into the restricted area. I knew that this day was destined for me. After working for the CIA, I witnessed, I personally experienced all kinds of inhuman behaviors of Americans, and I also learned the truth of the Tianjin incident. Teacher, I really regret why I was so stupid to listen to other people’s rumors, but I have no choice. My handle is in their hands. I really can't help it." At this point, Wang Xuhua was sobbing.

Von Neumann was suffocated by a puff of smoke, coughed heart-piercingly, and then forced a smile: "I'd better call you Siya, I understand your difficulties, and I will do my best I can give you a chance."

Wang Xuhua smiled miserably: "Teacher, thank you for your kindness. My sin is too great to turn back, but before I die, I will tell you all the secrets of the Central Intelligence Agency that I know, so that I can feel safe in my heart." Feel better. Teacher, I am sorry for you, I have let down your cultivation of me, and there is no way to help you complete the atomic furnace experiment, I hope you will not resent me."

Von Neumann kept smoking, looking at Hu Siya on the opposite side, it was like looking at his own child, his heart ached like a knife...

In Beijing, Guan Xuqing and several important military officials have just reported the theft of the top-secret information on the Chiba Islands, but they all believe that the stolen rocket launcher information does not pose a serious threat to the technological security of the empire, because this technology has also been developed in the United States. When it is mature, the enemy's acquisition of information is at best the core technology of an individual weapon.Although the map of the Dome Laboratory is top secret, even if the Americans have mastered this map, it will be extremely difficult for them to break through the layers of sea, land and air defense lines established by the Chiba Islands, so it is difficult to pose a de facto threat to the safety of the laboratory. .

Even so, Guan Xuqing still ordered to strengthen the security of the Chiba Islands, and conduct a thorough investigation of the identities of everyone working on the island, so that such espionage incidents must never happen again.In addition, the military intelligence network of the Imperial Security Bureau must be fully activated to launch a counterattack against the US intelligence agencies, and it is necessary to gain the initiative in the upcoming Sino-US war.

When talking about the Sino-American war, Wu Peifu expressed his worries to the emperor: Since the outbreak of the Sino-American war, the empire has put almost all the new weapons that have been successfully developed into this war. The strike effect, but the consumption of new weapons so far is also amazing. If this continues, the Sino-US war is not over yet, and the empire's new weapons will be exhausted.

Guan Xuqing didn't take this seriously. It didn't take long for these weapons to be successfully developed, and even many weapons were dragged onto the battlefield just after leaving the experimental workshop. Only on the battlefield can the real performance and effect of these weapons be tested. The outbreak of the outbreak just provided such an excellent experimental field, and judging from the situation of the war, the level of American weapon research and development has greatly exceeded the imagination of the empire. On the one hand, they will suffer heavy losses. The new weapons are exchanged for the lives of imperial soldiers, which is completely worthwhile from any angle.

After the discussion was over, several ministers withdrew, and Guan Xuqing approved a few papers for the Sichuan Water Conservancy Project. Just as he put down his pen, he wanted to read other memorials. Chuntao lifted the curtain and walked in gently. Said: "Did the queen call you here? What's the matter?"

Before Chuntao had time to reply, a court lady raised the curtain high, Empress Jingfen walked in, and a court lady following Jingfen was holding a large cloisonne plate in her hand, and a hot pot on the plate was overheating. , whistling whitely.All the eunuchs and maids in the Palace of Mental Cultivation immediately knelt down.

Guan Xuqing couldn't help laughing and said: "It's so late, it's hard for you to miss me. There are more than a dozen memorials here, and I originally wanted to go there after the approval. There are many internal and external affairs these days..." He stretched while speaking.

"Get up." Jingfen looked at the eunuchs with a smile, bowed slightly to the emperor, sat on the edge of the kang opposite to the emperor, and said, "I just returned to Kunning Palace from the imperial garden, and my cook just finished stewing for a while after returning to the palace. Pot of pheasant and fish head tofu soup, this is your favorite, the fire is just right, come and have a look."
