Chapter 7154
The research stationβs fuel consumption is extremely high.
Not to mention the Antarctic winter,
Even in the past Antarctic summer, their research station has never experienced this much.
Now there are so many people,
And their research team members have never been this busy.
Now, almost all the vehicles and helicopters are constantly operating outdoors.
Radar scanning requires a lot of electricity,
So the internal combustion engines on these vehicles and aircraft also consume a lot of fuel to power them.
In winter, Japanese research helicopters, equipped with ice radar, consume nearly two tons of fuel per hour,
Making them absolute fuel guzzlers.
To ensure the operation of this equipment,
The Japanese research team organized a dedicated fuel transport team,
Using a snow tractor paired with a heavy-duty fuel tanker trailer to transport a full truckload of fuel back each day.
The 20-ton capacity of each tanker is only enough for the helicopterβs needs.
Hearing that the transport team was coming,
Charlie asked Matsushita Heikichi,
βDo the transport vehicles have GPS positioning and video recording capabilities?β
βYes,β
βActually, every vehicle used at the Antarctic research station is equipped with GPS positioning and an Internet of Things (IoT) system,β Matsushita Heikichi explained.
βThis data is accessible to the relevant domestic authorities.β
βWho can monitor the vehicleβs location in real time?β
βEven the surrounding video feed.
However, weβve been ordered to remove the network modules from all the vehicles.
Without the network, video and GPS coordinates cannot be uploaded,
And the domestic authorities canβt track them.β
Charlie asked,
βAre you sure you only removed the network communication modules?β
βConfirmed,β said Matsushita Heikichi.
βThe order from Guanghan Zhenren is that the real-time status of all vehicles and equipment cannot be known domestically.β
βTherefore, we immediately arranged to remove the IoT modules from all equipment.β
βIncluding our research vessel.β
βTheoretically, as long as the network modules are restored,β
βThe coordinate information will be immediately uploaded to the server via satellite.β
βAnd the staff o
Charlie asked him, βIs there any way to secretly restore the network communication function of these vehicles?β
βBut one thing is certain.β
βThey cannot transmit any data to your mainland.β
βInstead, they must transmit all the data to my server according to my requirements.β
Matsushita Heikichi nodded and said,
βThatβs not difficult.β
βWe just need to replace the network communication modules.β
βFortunately, we have some Starlink systems on board for our crew.β
βWe just need to install one of the Starlink systems on the vehicle and set the data transmission address.β
As he spoke, Matsushita Heikichi explained,
βGPS and vehicle cameras are not intelligent hardware.β
βThey only provide data, just like the GPS and camera on a mobile phone.β
βThe communication modules we removed are used to send data to the relevant domestic authorities.β
βThey also use a dedicated network for transmission.β
βWe just need to replace them.β
Charlie was immediately delighted.
If he could obtain the real-time location of one of the oil tankers and access the onboard camera footage,
It would mean being able to see the research stationβs situation daily,
And possibly even spot the elder of the Warriors Den in the footage.
This would definitely give him more leverage.
Therefore, he asked Matsushita Heikichi,
βIf I let you do this, wonβt it be discovered by Guanghan Zhenren or the transport team?β
Matsushita Heikichi replied,
βThat shouldnβt be the case.β
βAll the equipment is integrated into the roof.β
βEven if you put the Starlink terminal inside,β
βItβs highly unlikely to be detected,β
βUnless they need to restore the original dedicated network someday.β
Charlie smiled slightly and began to deduce the logic.
First, the elder had cultivated for many years and was unlikely to understand such specialized matters.
Therefore, he wouldnβt issue particularly technical orders,
Such as directly instructing them to dismantle the dedicated network module.
He would have given verbal orders,
Instructing the research team to devise their own solution to ensure they werenβt exposed.
Secondly, since these professionals chose to remove the dedicated communication module,
Logically speaking, itβs like a phone having its SIM card removed and internet connection cut off.
The professionals solved the problem using their expertise,
And thatβs considered their task complete.
They wouldnβt periodically check the SIM card slot to see if a different SIM card had been inserted.
That doesnβt make sense.
Thirdly, spiritual energy canβt detect the signal.β
βThis means that even if the carβs internet is back on,β
βThe invisible and intangible signal frequency is impossible for the other party to detect.
The professionals wonβt check,
And the elders of the Warriors Den wonβt notice the problem.
Doesnβt this provide a perfect opportunity for covert observation?
