Chapter: 6563

However, now he had confidence in his heart, and the hand signals could continuously create more spiritual energy, making him have a constant source of spiritual energy, naturally without worrying about this bit of energy.

After arriving in Lisbon, Ye Chen and Li Yalin dressed up and used another set of fake identities to board a small plane operated by an airline company from Lisbon and fly across the Strait of Gibraltar to reach Casablanca.

Once they arrived in Casablanca, they checked into the best hotel near the port with Portuguese-Chinese business identities.

What surprised both of them was that there were more Chinese people in Casablanca than they had imagined.

Especially in the hotel where they stayed, Chinese people accounted for at least one-third of the guests and looked like successful entrepreneurs or elite groups.

Li Yalin fully utilized his detective skills to actively chat with a few Chinese people in the lobby and soon figured out why there were so many Chinese people here.

After understanding the situation, he told Ye Chen, "Sir, I've found out that Morocco is rich in phosphoric acid ore, which is the key raw material for producing lithium iron phosphate batteries. Many power battery companies and new energy automobile companies from China have invested in factories here to produce lithium iron phosphate batteries locally, claiming it's at least 30% cheaper than importing raw materials back home."

Ye Chen couldn't help but laugh and said, "I'll ask my uncle about it later. Did they invest in any power battery companies before?"

"Probably not," Li Yalin said. "I've always been following them to inspect and invest domestically. The power battery company they invested in mainly produces ternary lithium batteries and doesn't produce much lithium iron phosphate. It's said that lithium iron phosphate has low energy density and is cheaper, mainly suitable for mid-range cars."

Ye Chen nodded slightly and said, "But there are so many Chinese people here, which makes it easier for us to hide our identities. Locals will also find us unusual, but no one will pay much attention to us."

As he spoke, Ye Chen added, "Let's wait until nightfall and think of a way to explore the port."

Li Yalin asked him, "Port management is generally quite strict. Can we get in?"

Ye Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have a way."

As they finished speaking, Li Yalin turned to Ye Chen and said, "Let's go to our room first. I've booked the highest floor here, which should give us a good view of the port."

They checked in and took their key cards to the 22nd-floor room located on the south side of the hotel, with one room facing north and the other facing south. The northern room was perfectly positioned to overlook the entire port.

When they arrived at the living room on the north side, Li Yalin and Ye Chen stood by the floor-to-ceiling window gazing out at the Casablanca Port. Li Yalin immediately spotted at least 20 train tracks in the southern part of the port, which was a cargo terminal. He followed the rail line eastward, turned to Ye Chen and said, "According to my understanding, Casablanca is the economic lifeline of Morocco, with most of the country's phosphate exports being shipped from here to countries around the world. Break Clear Mining, which is also controlled by them, is responsible for exporting phosphate abroad, likely through rail transport directly to the port."

Ye Chen asked, "Have you checked their phosphate export situation?"

Li Yalin replied, "Yes, I've analyzed the import and export data of Moroccan phosphate companies using AI. There's no record of Break Clear Mining engaging in exports if they're not doing it themselves. If that's the case, then their production capacity should be handled by other companies."

As he spoke, Li Yalin added, "To clarify their phosphate business scope, I used AI to scan all companies operating import and export businesses at Casablanca Port, identifying one company that specializes in exporting phosphate to companies around the world. They don't have their own phosphate mines, effectively acting as an agent for other phosphate companies' exports."

"And apart from that," Li Yalin continued, "this company also handles a small amount of imports, mainly various types of mining equipment from Germany. After repairs, these heavy-duty equipment were confirmed to be working at Break Clear Mining's open-pit mining area through AI's data repair and analysis system."

Ye Chen asked curiously, "Is this also an AI discovery?"

Li Yalin replied, "Yes, it is. This company imported a batch of Liebherr heavy-duty mining equipment from Germany last year, which was confirmed by AI to be working at Break Clear Mining's open-pit mining area through data repair and analysis."

As he finished speaking, Li Yalin said, "AI also found that they had reported a large quantity of food imports from the United States, mainly beef, wheat, and vegetables. I suspect that these foods were quietly transported to Break Clear Mining after clearance."

"Ye Chen said, 'Food can be completely sourced from local suppliers, there's no need to import it from the US. I suspect they're doing this because Break Clear Mining's consumption is significantly higher than normal, so they don't want people to notice.'"

"'Yes,' Li Yalin replied, 'they're still pretty careful about this. There are several food suppliers in the local area, and by spreading out their demand, it's generally difficult for people to figure out their specific food consumption situation. Additionally, a portion of the food is quietly imported, which basically allows them to achieve a seamless flow, except that they didn't think there would be an AI model that can continuously analyze all their data and information.'"
