…………
On the Chinese artery of Xicheng Railway.
High-speed train G1218 is like a silver dragon, traveling through the magnificent Qinling Mountains.
The first ray of sunshine in the morning shines through the mist on this ancient and mysterious land, giving the Qinling Mountains a golden coat.
The mountains are undulating and clouds are shrouded in mist.
Like nature's most exquisite paintings, each peak tells a thousand-year story.
The train follows the winding track, sometimes passing through deep tunnels, and sometimes crossing majestic bridges, taking passengers from one world to another.
outside the window.
Green forests, gurgling streams, quaint villages, and picturesque scenes are constantly changing, making it dizzying.
Especially when the train goes through those deep valleys.
Sunlight and shadow intertwine to form a breathtaking picture. It makes people feel relaxed and happy, as if they are on a journey through time and space.
After several hours of speeding, train G1218 slowly entered Xi'an Station.
This historic city is not only the cradle of Chinese culture, but also the hub of modern transportation.
Xi'an Railway Station, as the gateway to this city, also carries the dreams and hopes of countless people.
The train stopped steadily.
The car door opened, and a lively flow of people instantly surged.
Among the passengers going up and down, some were in a hurry with their luggage, others stopped to admire the scene inside the station, and many tourists took photos with their mobile phones to record this unforgettable moment.
On the platform, various dialects intertwined to form a unique "symphony", full of life and vitality.
In the midst of this bustle, a uniformed on-board mechanic stepped off the train.
This station stops for 6 minutes.
After saying hello to the conductor, he got off the train and breathed fresh air.
At noon at Xi'an Station, the air is filled with a touch of warmth, mixed with the city's unique fireworks.
The mechanic took a deep breath, feeling the freshness and vitality, as if his fatigue could be swept away.
He stood on the platform and looked at the sun in the distance, feeling a warm current in his heart.
Although this job is hard, every time I see the smiling faces of passengers who have arrived safely at their destination, all the hard work turns into satisfaction and pride.
Think so.
Unable to rest, he walked along the side of the train and looked around as if doing a routine inspection.
Just a short stop though.
But he knows that any small hidden danger may affect the safe operation of the train.
Anyway, idle time is idle.
He simply walked all the way along the platform.
From the front to the back of the train, he carefully inspected every detail to ensure that every component of the train was in optimal condition. This professional habit is not only responsible for work, but also a commitment to passenger safety.
If it is the usual thorough and professional inspection.
He must be carrying all the equipment, and he must also confirm that the adjacent road is blocked or has a speed limit to ensure safety during the inspection.
But he wasn't specifically checking it now, he was just casually looking at it out of boredom when he got off the car.
So it's not that professional.
But nevertheless.
He also continued to carefully check the wheels, braking system and car connections.
Every detail is spared.
The mechanic's eyes were focused and sharp, and his fingers gently touched the cold metal, as if he could feel the pulse of the machine.
Carefully check every possible problem to ensure that the train can run smoothly during the next journey.
During such inspection.
He suddenly stopped somewhere.
A trace of disbelief and confusion flashed in his eyes.
Then he took a deep breath.
Looking at a handprint on the outer shell of the train, the onboard mechanic felt unprecedented doubts.
ah?
Huh? ?
ah? ? ?
Where does this fingerprint come from? !
What kind of supernatural event is this? !
The onboard mechanic swallowed, not knowing what to do for a moment.
It’s not surprising to see fingerprints made of gray dust outside the car, but what does the fingerprints that are dented on the metal casing mean?
Can anyone really have such great strength?
During the training, I never mentioned that this would happen. What should I do if I find a dented fingerprint on the outside of the train?
I really want to take out my phone and ask the teacher what this situation is about.
Waiting online, quite urgent.
And when he was confused, the announcement that the train was about to close sounded.
Obviously, the not-so-long six minutes passed quickly.
As the announcement came over the radio that the train was about to leave, the mechanic quickly took a few photos of the handprints in front of him and then hurriedly got on the train.
The on-board mechanic had never seen anything like this.
He felt that there was probably no need to suspend the train's departure plan for this reason.
After all, in this case, it seems that a fingerprint will not affect the safe operation of the train.
However, you must still report this matter to the conductor.
In a train, the conductor usually has the highest management authority. Conductors have the authority to make important decisions affecting train operations and services, including responding to emergencies such as handling medical emergencies, safety issues or passenger disputes.
The mechanic was unsure about what he had discovered and felt he had to report it to the conductor.
Train G1218 started again and slowly left Xi'an Station to continue its journey.
And as the mechanic hurried to the location of the train conductor.
The conductor is a middle-aged man named Li Ming, who is nearly forty years old. He has a dignified appearance and is dressed in a neat dark blue uniform.
Li Ming's face is sharp and angular, and his sharp eyes seem to be able to see through everything, giving people a calm and reliable impression.
When the car mechanic hurriedly found him and showed him the photo of the handprint.
Li Ming's expression was confused at first.
Then it got serious.
He took the phone and looked at the photos carefully.
He couldn't help but frown.
This was obviously not an ordinary stain or scratch, but a clear handprint deeply embedded in the metal shell of the train.
The details of this handprint are also distinct.
It was as if someone had tightly grasped the outer shell of the train at a certain moment, and then the extremely powerful force fixed it there instantly.
The edges of the handprint are slightly blurred, as if the metal has undergone slight deformation under tremendous pressure.
Moreover, the entire handprint seems to have been smoothed out by an extra press, directly erasing the information-containing parts such as fingerprints and palmprints. The most shocking thing is the traces that were smoothed out a few times.
It seems that to the guy who left the fingerprints, the metal of the train shell is just like plasticine and can be kneaded casually.
The level of ease and ease is like stepping on the wet cement floor, then finding cement and casually patching it up and smoothing it.
The metal shell of the train is so easy to handle at this moment.
Li Ming has never encountered this situation in his many years of career.
"This...what on earth is going on?"
Li Ming whispered to himself.
He returned the phone to the mechanic, turned to him and asked, "Do you think... when did this fingerprint appear?"
The on-board mechanic nodded and replied: "Train conductor, I just discovered it during a routine inspection. The last inspection was at Shucheng Station. There were no fingerprints at that time, so it must have happened during this period."
"Moreover, the fingerprint looks like someone pressed it hard. But how is that possible? Our train shell is made of high-strength materials."
The onboard mechanic said so.
The look on his face was just like the confusion and shock he had when he discovered the handprint just now.
The shells of modern high-speed trains, including EMUs and high-speed rails, are mainly made of lightweight and high-strength metal materials, the most common of which is aluminum alloy.
If similar munitions were fired against the metal casing of a train, especially those parts made of stainless steel or high-strength aluminum alloys, they would typically show considerable resistance.
For example, stainless steel is hard and strong enough to withstand shots from most conventional weapons without being penetrated. When it comes to aluminum alloys, while it may not be as hard as stainless steel, it still provides adequate protection due to its alloying.
Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for humans to press fingerprints on this metal shell.
The metal train shell is thick and hard enough to resist conventional physical forces, and even very strong humans cannot leave obvious indentations or fingerprints on it.
If a handprint-like dent does appear, it usually means that the car body has been subjected to external forces beyond the normal, such as severe collision or damage caused by extreme natural disasters.
From a scientific perspective, this requires considerable strength, far beyond the capabilities of ordinary humans.
But if it is indeed a dent formed on the metal shell, then this is obviously not a normal phenomenon and may involve some special external force or unknown events. Further professional investigation and analysis are required to draw a conclusion.
Li Ming thought for a moment and then decided: "We must investigate this. Although I do not think this will affect the structural safety of the train, we cannot ignore any potential problems. I will contact the dispatch center immediately to report this anomaly, And request a professional team to conduct a detailed inspection at the next stop.”
Immediately, Li Ming took out his communication equipment and started to contact the dispatch center, explaining the seriousness and urgency of the situation.
He asked the dispatch center to notify technicians at the next stop to prepare for a simple and quick inspection of the train.
At the same time, he also instructed on-board mechanics to closely monitor the operation of the train to ensure safety during the journey.
Under the command of Li Ming, the staff of train G1218 performed their duties in an orderly manner.
And relevant news on the train.
In this Internet era, it was quickly and simultaneously transmitted to the dispatch center and railway police.
The dispatch center responded quickly.
They realized this was an unusual situation. No matter how the fingerprints came from, it can be initially determined that someone sabotaged the train. This matter requires professional evaluation and handling.
The dispatcher immediately notified the technical department and organized a professional team of experienced engineers and technicians to prepare for a detailed on-site investigation at the next stop of the G1218 train.
The technical team is equipped with advanced testing instruments and tools and is ready to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the train's metal shell, including using non-destructive testing technologies such as ultrasonic flaw detection and magnetic particle testing to assess whether the metal structure in the fingerprint area is damaged.
They also prepared sophisticated measuring tools for measuring the depth and shape of handprints, as well as analyzing microscopic changes in metal surfaces.
At the same time, they quickly coordinated and arranged the transfer plan for all passengers on the G1218 train to ensure that these passengers could travel normally without being affected when the train was carefully inspected.
The railway police almost immediately began to mobilize all surveillance along the route, as well as the surveillance video of the train itself.
Check the video of today's G1218 train from Shucheng to Xi'an Station.
They reviewed all available surveillance videos along the route, including surveillance installed at intervals along the railway section, surveillance at the beginning and end of the train, and necessary surveillance at each stopping platform, trying to track down any clues that might be related to this incident.
Public security officers began to carefully review every frame, looking for any unusual behavior or suspicious characters, especially near the various stations the train passed.
They also quickly notified the police in various places they passed through to cooperate and collect testimonies from eyewitnesses in order to restore the full picture of the incident from different angles.
As the train continued to move forward, the atmosphere on train G1218 became a little tense.
Passengers began to notice the busyness of the staff. Although the specific reason was not mentioned in the train announcement, everyone could feel an unusual atmosphere filling the air.
Some curious passengers tried to ask the staff, but the responses they received were official words of comfort, emphasizing the safety and stability of the train.
finally.
The train arrived at the next scheduled stop.
Here, the professional team is already in place.
After the train came to a slow stop, the staff immediately organized the passengers to transfer.
Although the passengers were a little confused, they still transferred in an orderly manner under the guidance of the staff.
At the same time, professional and technical personnel also started their work immediately.
They carefully moved around the handprint area.
Record data and take photos as evidence.
The whole process is rigorous and meticulous.
Preliminary inspection results show.
The presence of handprints is shocking though.
Fortunately, there was no structural damage to the train's metal casing.
This means that the safety performance of the train has not been affected and it can continue to complete its journey.
However, the real cause of this incident remains a mystery and requires more in-depth research and analysis.
It's one thing if the train isn't damaged.
How exactly this handprint was left is another matter.
It will take some time to verify whether there are any biological tissue residues on the fingerprints.
The professional team has collected some metal materials and sent them for inspection. It will take some time for the results to come out.
You will then know whether this is a fingerprint made by a human being. After all, as long as it is made by a human being, there will definitely be a certain amount of cell residue on it.
And although the results are not out yet.
But for now, everyone's judgment is more inclined to be the fingerprints pressed by some kind of special machine. After all, it is impossible for humans to have such great strength.
This is not a reckless judgment based on experience.
This is unquestionable common sense.
Although the fingerprint was shocking, all the experts almost instinctively did not consider the possibility that it was actually pressed by a person.
Checking whether there are any remaining biological tissues is just a necessary caution and scientific attitude. They have no hope of finding out that it was pressed out by humans.
If you want to use a machine to do such a thing, it must be done after the train arrives at a certain platform. The train is driving so fast on the road, who can do such a delicate operation?
Whether it was pressed with a machine or someone actually pressed it with hands, it was impossible to press it when the train was traveling at a speed of 300 kilometers per hour.
As for whether such fingerprints were left by someone using a machine when stopping at a certain platform, we still need to wait for the railway public security department to conduct a thorough investigation of all surveillance.
This also takes a while.
However, what these experts did not know was that the investigation related to this handprint would ultimately be fruitless.
They found no traces of biological tissue, or anyone using a machine to leave fingerprints on the train.
