Chapter: 6546

A few seconds later, AI responded, "I think that if KS Oil Company does have a problem, it will not leave an easily detectable bug in its unit electricity consumption figure, just like when making a big mistake, one tries to avoid making other small mistakes. Therefore, if I can find the problem so easily, it is likely that they have not made other major mistakes."

"But based on the target's actual need for additional power supply of several thousand people, I now have a conjecture that the other side may still have other electricity acquisition channels."

Having said that, AI added, "All data related to Nigeria has been uploaded to the server. I need to combine this data with that from Tianyi Line to conduct a more detailed analysis of the target. It will take around 90 seconds to enhance the image quality in all pictures on Tianyi Line's satellite images to improve their resolution. Please wait for a moment."

"A minute or so later, AI continued, 'The image quality enhancement has been completed. I selected the best data from this year for analysis and found that all seven oil fields surrounding the area with high-voltage transmission networks are owned by Nigeria Electric Power Holding Company. The electricity consumption data I just obtained is also from that company, so it's basically certain that there are no second power supply lines for the seven oil fields;'

Li Yalin asked, 'Don't you consider the possibility of underground power transmission lines?'

AI replied, 'I've reviewed Tianyi Line's satellite images over the past 15 years. Underground power transmission lines require a lot of engineering work and take more time, but I didn't find any construction marks that could be related to underground power transmission lines in the past 15 years' satellite images.'

Li Yalin was obviously surprised because he realized that AI had already started self-justifying its conclusions before presenting them, which was much more mature than directly giving an answer.

If you want to train a person to make such a transformation, it may take several years for some people, even if they have difficulty thinking. However, for AI, it's just a matter of a few conversations.

This is the importance of training AI, allowing a top-notch detective to train AI and making AI extremely rigorous in its logic.

Li Yalin looked at Ye Chen excitedly and asked, 'Sir, does the target's additional power supply exceeding several thousand people mean that this gap should be very large?'

Ye Chen nodded, 'The gap is enormous, and the electricity consumption is not just for the daily life of a few thousand people. I've been to copper mines in Cyprus where thousands of people live underground, with enormous hiding places that need 24-hour ventilation, 24-hour drainage, and even light up like daylight to confuse their sense of time;'"

"Excluding this, the underground hideout of Death Squad is not a concentration camp, but rather their home and breeding ground. Although Death Squad uses special toxins and antidotes to control its members, it also uses family members as leverage. To make members have a desire to survive, they will provide relatively decent living conditions for them. Therefore, the temperature and humidity of underground hideouts are precisely controlled, and electricity consumption is very large."

Li Yalin nodded his head and asked AI, "What do you think is the best way for the target to supplement its massive power gap? Solar power? Wind power? Or other channels?"

AI replied, "Based on the target's special circumstances, I believe that oil-powered generation should be their top choice. Solar power and wind power are too conspicuous, and not stable enough. Coal-powered generation requires a large amount of coal, which is easily exposed during transportation. Only oil-powered generation can directly obtain it and take as much as needed without any concerns."

As he spoke, AI continued to explain his point, "Considering what you said earlier about concealing production quantities being a foolish mistake, I want to elaborate on my viewpoint. Through the analysis of cases related to oil companies, I believe that concealing production quantities itself is not the problem; the real issue lies in how the concealed production quantities are handled."

"When they secretly transport and sell the concealed production quantities to obtain greater benefits, it's the true risk point of concealing production. If the concealed production quantities have never been extracted from the oil field or traded, but instead are quietly converted into electricity and consumed internally, such behavior is completely undetectable by external parties."

"The relevant law enforcement agencies recognize the smuggling of oil based on the oil fields' non-normal channels for transporting oil out and trading it. However, considering that daily production reaches tens of thousands of barrels or even hundreds of thousands, they can simply cut off a small portion before sending it through pipelines to supplement their own power gap."

"Therefore, taking into account all current factors, I believe this should be the best solution - not only supplementing one's own power gap but also making all apparent data look completely normal."

Li Yalin listened and couldn't help but praise AI: "Logical and convincing. So, if you base your judgment on your analysis and combine it with the data from the sky's network, can you confirm the target?"

AI quickly replied, "Through analyzing the data from the sky's network, I believe that Casper Oil has the greatest suspicion. Their oil field is located in a central position to the north, which occupies an area of approximately 2,373 square meters. This building did not exist in the data from 15 years ago and began construction 13 years ago."

As he spoke, AI displayed multiple images on the screen, with the first image showing a barren open field with parked vehicles and equipment, and the second image showing the foundation being laid, walls being built, and a trench being dug, extending all the way to the nearest drilling machine from the inside of the foundation.

AI continued, "From the second image data, you can see pipeline construction underway, with the oil pipe connecting to the nearest drilling machine. I infer that this should be an oil transportation pipeline, and all oil pipes within the field are exposed except for this section which uses buried piping. This suggests that they don't want this segment of the pipeline to be exposed outside, so it's likely that there is a power generation equipment inside this building, with the largest being a gas turbine."

Li Yalin said, "If we solely rely on one oil pipe to determine what's inside, it seems insufficiently convincing."

AI replied, "I expected you would say that, so I also found out that Nigeria Power Holdings Limited announced 13 years ago that due to power shortages in Lagos and surrounding areas, they decided to implement load management measures for severely energy-wasting enterprises. Casper Oil was listed as one of the limited-energy companies."

"In the announcement, it states that Casper Oil was restricted because their equipment is old and their per-unit electricity consumption exceeds that of peers. This announcement was released two months before the construction of this building began. According to my analysis, Casper Oil had just been subject to load management at that time, and this building started construction immediately after. Since then, Casper Oil has not received similar punishment, so this building must be a small-scale power generation plant!" JrNovels.com
