He Ao asked softly as he looked at the photo of a giant, silver, hexagonal tal object on the monitor.
“Yes,” the old butler nodded gently,
“This was the biggest discovery yesterday.
A truck driver who works for a shipping company under our group took an order claiming to transport special tals.
But that driver had previously worked at an energy plant under Rockville’s flag.
He deduced through the exposed edges of the device that it might be compressed energy.
Then he imdiately contacted his supervisor.”
The old butler paused, “His supervisor realized it might be energy smuggling, and decided to report to the police after notifying the group.
Currently, the battery has been seized, and the people who smuggled the batteries are being interrogated.”
He Ao lowered his head to look at the photo in his hands.
Judging by the reference to a person alongside it, the battery was not small—it was about seventy centiters tall, with each side asuring around one and a half ters.
These compression batteries were quite similar to the blue high-energy compression batteries He Ao had used before.
Only the energy capacity and power per unit volu were smaller than those of the blue batteries.
But it was big.
Its volu was several hundred tis that of a blue battery.
These large batteries were not cheap, with a market price of around fifteen million federal coins.
They were generally used to power small floating battleships that couldn’t install fusion reactors, or to power large chas.
On the black market, they could sell for twenty to thirty million.
The demand for power systems for such large equipnt was quite small; only the Federation Army, City Defense Army, rcenary Corps, and so wanderers needed them.
Of course, there were also those who sought to sow discord—cultists and criminals.
In Kaye City, the only force that could afford this battery and not buy it through official channels seed to be only one.
The cri syndicate led by Chaos.
He Ao felt the jumbled threads in his mind gradually being sorted out, and he looked toward the old butler beside him, “Did this driver do well, and has he been rewarded?”
Upon hearing this, the old butler let out a smile, “The driver refused to accept a reward, saying he’s grateful for your welfare subsidies which allowed his child, who couldn’t afford schooling, to attend school.
He believes that it’s sothing he ought to do.”
“There are always people who are unwilling to accept rewards,” He Ao said with a laugh, shaking his head, “Gratitude aside, his reward must still be fulfilled as per the conditions.”
As he said this, He Ao reached out to touch the monitor nearby, preparing to contact Eve.
Then suddenly, sothing else ca to his mind.
He turned back to the old butler, speaking softly, “Tell the driver that what he did this ti wasn’t just for , but for our Nolanka Group.”
“Our Nolanka Group…”
The old butler chewed on this phrase.
In a certain sense, the fate of all those who enjoyed these welfare asures was tied to the Nolanka Group and Vian; these welfare asures could continue only with the presence of the Nolanka Group and Vian, allowing them to secure the benefits they’d already received.
Danny looked up at the young man standing tall before him.
In that mont, the figures of several generations of the Nolanka family seed to overlap with that of the young man.
He was gradually beginning to understand He Ao’s actions over these days.
The reason He Ao dared to break with the board of directors was that he had found allies even more solid and powerful than the board.
These allies might be weak, penniless, but they were the true majority of the group.
It was a force to be reckoned with, yet one that could not be ignored.
By now, He Ao had summoned Eve and was concentrating on communicating with her.
The old butler bowed gently to He Ao’s figure and then slowly withdrew.
…
“Yes, skip the simulation of those small arms, and prioritize the small floating battleships, chas, and fighter jets.”
He Ao looked at the constantly changing data in front of him and slowly said.
These data were all clearance inspection data obtained from the City Defense Army; there were no issues with the data as each item looked normal, and the City Defense Army had no reason to provide falsified data.
What He Ao needed to do now was to have Eve try to identify potential patterns hidden within these data through simulation computation.
In fact, Eve had been working on this since yesterday.
But Eve was not yet a qualified artificial intelligence.
Although she possessed imnse computing power, she lacked the ability to think further and could only process calculations under He Ao’s commands.
So, she simulated a plethora of scenarios where light weapons might be smuggled into the city, compared these situations with the database, and then relied on this real data for further simulations.
Overnight, Eve did indeed uncover several unperceived firearms smuggling cases and synced the data with Director Jelang, but for He Ao, these firearms smuggling incidents were not what he was looking for.
He was frustrated by the lack of a suitable lead to unravel this entangled ss.
However, when the old butler brought the news of the confiscated high-energy battery, He Ao found his direction.
Eve quickly ran a simulation comparison but did not find any data suggestive of large-scale equipnt being smuggled into the city.
“Not smuggling?”
He Ao pondered for a mont and suddenly rembered that huge battery.
Theoretically, the battery should be loaded with the power system, but this ti only the battery was seized.
He Ao placed his hand on the tablet, giving his electronic signature authorization to Eve, “Eve, apply for access to the Military Industry Consortium Alliance’s public database in the na of Nolanka Group, download the model data of dium and large equipnt from the database, then simulate disassembling these pieces of equipnt, record the data of the components after disassembly, and then combine it with the City Defense Army’s data for simulation.”
The large equipnt might not be able to be transported into the city, but that does not an their components couldn’t be brought in.
Although it is unlikely that most military enterprises would upload their core equipnt models to the military database, and even the uploaded data would have so tricks played on them to prevent being copied or utilized by their peers, the general shape of these models is similar, and many of their components are similar to those of the real equipnt.
With these 3D models, it is possible to find so similar components.
Following He Ao’s instruction, Eve began to operate at high speed.
After quietly waiting for an hour, when the heavy rain outside the window fell down with the sound of clinking ice crystals, Eve finally presented the analysis results.
It was a complete analytical report, sequentially listing the data of suspected components of large-scale equipnt in the data provided by the City Defense Army.
Then it synthesized the possible components into several most likely pieces of equipnt, ranking them by the likelihood of their existence from lowest to highest.
He Ao flipped through the report.
In the report appeared skycraft, warplanes, chas, and even so land-based tanks.
One by one, beautifully designed chanical equipnts passed before his eyes.
But when he scrolled to the last two pages, his gaze paused montarily.
He looked up, watching the drizzling rain outside the window, “Eve, these last two suspected components, see if their traces can be tracked.”
Wherever one goes, they inevitably leave a mark.
