After finishing speaking, Lin Bai nodded, and walked around the steel plant alone.

Before leaving, Lin Bai asked again what happened to the steam engine that exploded.

Wu Buqing replied that the people of Weiyang Academy of Sciences had disassembled all the broken steam engines and carefully investigated the cause of the accident, but so far no results have been given.

Lin Bai was not at ease, and decided to go to Weiyang Academy of Sciences to see for himself.

In fact, Lin Bai hated this kind of concealment.Regardless of whether you have good intentions or not, you must report to yourself when something important happens!
As subordinates, they don't have a good enough view of the overall situation, because if they are not in their positions, they don't plan their own affairs. If they conceal anything, it is likely to damage Lin Bai's overall plan. Even good intentions can easily lead to bad things.

Therefore, after Wu Buqing finished work in the steel plant, Lin Bai would never spare him lightly.

But Lin Bai also knew that although Wu Buqing concealed the accident, his follow-up handling was at least reasonable, and he did not let his credibility drop due to the accident.

We must know that once the credibility of the ruler declines, it will be difficult to restore it.

So instead of punishing him, what Lin Bai needs to do is how to avoid concealment, especially vicious concealment.

When encountering similar things in the future, not every subordinate will be like Wu Buqing, who will do his best to complete the task assigned by Lin Bai.

More often, those who conceal the report are just to avoid responsibility!

After much deliberation, Lin Bai can only strengthen the supervision of his subordinates first, improve the laws and regulations for officials' administrative affairs, and then he can only strengthen the intelligence gathering power of the people.

That's right, it's the police detective. It's a dereliction of duty that the police detective didn't report it to him when such a big incident happened.

After going back, Lin Bai will definitely ask if he has slackened in intelligence collection.

But on second thought, not long ago he asked Hongxia to prepare to go out to Weiyang to establish an extraterritorial intelligence network, and now the power transfer should be going on within the detective.

The main duty of public detectives is only to collect information on internal enemies and official corruption. If they want to cover everything, it may be a bit more demanding for the current public detectives.

"Let's continue to improve it slowly, just remember that in the future, the public detective must become a comprehensive network. No matter what happens, I can know it from the public detective channel!"

Lin Baifei said to himself in the air, "The Academy of Sciences is here, I'll go down and ask."

The steam engine that exploded was placed in the open-air courtyard behind the main building of the Academy of Sciences, and a person stood on it and checked something.Feeling the howling wind blowing down from the sky, he raised his head.

"It's Lord Lin Bai!"

Although Lin Bai always likes to fall from the sky, most researchers are no longer surprised by it.

But this time the person in charge of researching the steam engine was a newcomer, and when he saw Lin Bai falling directly towards him, he let out a cry of surprise and joy.

"Hello!" Lin Bai shook hands with the young researcher first, "Are you studying the cause of the explosion of this steam engine?"

"Uh..." The researcher's face froze immediately, and he looked back at the steam engines piled up in the open yard, and then at Lord Lin Bai's expression—that confident smile.

It seems that adults already know everything, so there is no need to hide it.

"Yes my lord, I'm looking for the reason why it exploded."

"What's the clue?" Lin Bai didn't plan to pursue other matters. He wanted to know the reason for the explosion of the steam engine first. This is related to the development of mechanical power in Weiyang, which is still in its infancy!

"Well, with a little bit, it can be confirmed that the site of the explosion is the last section of high-pressure pipe connected to the steam generator."

The researcher picked up a deformed steel pipe with a huge opening from a table next to the wreckage of the steam engine and handed it to Lin Bai.

"It's just that it's not clear whether there was a problem with the quality when we manufactured it, or the explosion occurred after the air leak was caused by the lack of sealing during the installation process."

Lin Bai took the deformed steel pipe, and the magic power in his hand immediately soaked into the iron to search for clues.

Judging from the remaining section of the wreckage, there are no air bubbles inside the steel pipe, the iron and carbon are evenly mixed, and there are no obvious quality problems.

"It is reasonable to say that if the seal is not done well, it should only be an air leak. And after the air leak, the air pressure in the furnace will drop rapidly, and it is reasonable that there should be no explosion.

But the fact is that the tube blew up, so we have to suspect a quality issue.However, we have checked many times, and we can't find any quality problems.

Maybe when it exploded, the evidence of quality loss left there has been blown away! "The researcher shrugged and said helplessly.

Lin Bai stared at the steel pipe, blinked, and suddenly raised his head and asked, "Are you the only one investigating the cause of the explosion?"

"Oh, there is another colleague, but he went to the toilet."

Lin Bai nodded, thought for a while and said, "Let's assume it's not a quality problem or a sealing problem. Is there any other reason?"

"Any other reason?"

"Well, for example, if it was damaged during the transportation, or someone deliberately messed with it, maybe there are traces in comparison?"

"Let me see!" The researcher immediately took the steel pipe and put it in front of his nose for a closer look.

After a long time, he said with a serious expression: "If someone is causing trouble, then he should have used cultivation."

"Cultivation, what kind of cultivation?" Lin Bai's heart tightened.

"Ice practice!" The researcher pointed to the part that exploded and deformed, and said to Lin Bai, "Before the Lord reminded me, I only thought of two possibilities. I thought it was either our problem or the installation problem, but the Lord just said it would be wrong. It's not like somebody's messing around, I just noticed it, you see."

Lin Bai looked at the part of the researcher's finger. The edge of the small deformed iron pipe, which originally belonged to the inside of the steel pipe, was slightly darker than other places.

"Is this the trace of quenching?" Lin Bai hesitated.

"That's right, so this part of the iron pipe must have experienced severe cold. But the iron pipe itself is used to transport high-temperature water. If ice is not used, only the use of ice can make its temperature instantly low enough to be quenched!
The iron pipe under the sudden cold became hard and brittle, so it could not withstand the pressure of the high-pressure steam and was blasted, which is very likely to be the case! "The researcher felt himself suddenly enlightened.

"But the water is only up to 100 degrees, so it can't cause quenching, right?" Lin Bai felt that there was still a problem.

"This is unless you first heat this part with practice, and then use ice to practice? But in this case, the quenching range should be very large." The researcher was confused again.
