Chapter: 6569

"Halted for a moment, Li Yalin continued: 'The foreman leads the workers to load all the cars as required, check and confirm everything is correct before sealing the doors with one-time seals, and then wait for transportation. The receiving party will inspect the seals when they receive the goods and only open it after confirming there are no errors.'"

"Ye Chen nodded, looking at the tracks on either side of the platform where many sealed cars were parked, roughly numbering around 60-70. He then asked Li Yalin: 'Which ones belong to Ducks Mining?'"

"Li Yalin took out tomorrow's transportation plan and found the information on Ducks Mining's car numbers, telling Ye Chen: 'All the information for Ducks Mining is here, let's go through it together.'"

"Ye Chen nodded, accompanied by Li Yalin and the responsible person, starting to check the car numbers. They quickly found a few cars being loaded with goods."

"With the responsible person by their side, Ye Chen and Li Yalin walked into the area to take a look. These cars were about half-loaded, with most of the goods being large cardboard boxes approximately one square meter in size, wrapped with wooden racks on the outside. Li Yalin recognized the logo on the packaging and told Ye Chen: 'These are from Phifer, an American company specialized in producing thermal imaging equipment, considered a global leader.'"

"Ye Chen glanced around, seeing at least 10-20 boxes with Phifer's logo on them. He couldn't help but ask: 'Do they need that many night vision and infrared equipment?'"

Li Yalin said, "Duke Mining's land area is so large. If they really want to achieve omnidirectional thermal imaging and infrared monitoring without dead angles, it's possible that they need this many devices, plus building a massive security system. It's not like buying a few wireless cameras at home and connecting them wirelessly to the internet. A security system can't just have front-end equipment; the back-end engineering is much larger. Generally, each large building would require hundreds of monitoring probes. Maintaining these hundreds of cameras would require a dedicated server room, with each one needing an average of over 100 meters of cable connection to the server room. They also need to set up various exchange devices to connect them all, plus control systems and storage systems. This scale is truly astonishing."

As he spoke, he noticed another batch of goods waiting to be loaded. He turned to Ye Chen and said, "Mr. Ye, look at this batch. It's from Hitachi, also an American company, primarily producing storage devices. Here alone, there are tons of storage devices, plus Panduit, the same American brand for network cables. Looks like these carloads are all about network cabling equipment, with a region spanning several kilometers that would be too overwhelming to imagine just by thinking about it."

After scanning other carloads, Li Yalin and Ye Chen basically found that most of the goods were from major brands in the security field.

After scanning everything, Ye Chen could roughly deduce that Duke Mining has not yet established a robust monitoring system. However, this batch of equipment would count as a significant investment, and once it's deployed and starts being used, even a small bird flying overhead would be detected within the several-kilometer radius.

Therefore, Ye Chen told Li Yalin, "Li Chief Inspector, let AI retrieve the transaction details from Moore Trading and that Phifer Group. See if we can find the equipment list."

Li Yalin said, "That should be no problem. Just wait a moment while I operate."

For AI, breaking into a system is not difficult; it can quickly find all vulnerabilities on a website or server and then rapidly extract the data the user wants.

Soon enough, AI's system had harvested its rewards. Through a small vulnerability in Phifer's server, it obtained the transaction details between Phifer and Moore Trading.

The details showed over a thousand fixed installations of thermal imaging and night vision equipment, as well as one thousand sets of handheld devices. Even their most advanced live-body warning radar was on the procurement list. This should be the strongest equipment currently available in the civilian field, and they had bought six sets at once.

After reviewing the list, Ye Chen told Li Yalin, "It seems that we've arrived just in time. Duke Mining's security system is still being set up. While this window of opportunity exists, I'll sneak in tomorrow through a railway tunnel and then try to find a way to break into their internal systems from within."

"Li Yalin said, 'Mr. Ye, we're in a whole new situation here at Casablanca, and we don't have anyone to help us. It's already very difficult for one person to handle such a large-scale operation, and if we don't get help, the subsequent transfer might be very complicated.'"

"Ye Chen said, 'We can't rush into things on a large scale. I need to go in first and see what the situation is like. If I can gain control of the situation, then I'll figure out a plan based on reality.'"

"As he spoke, Ye Chen added, 'Actually, Essar Shipping has been coming and going from the Casablanca port for these days. But Duke Mining is too far away from the port, and according to my research, some Moroccan military ships are also docked at the port under the military's watchful eye. It would be extremely difficult to secretly transfer thousands of people out; in fact, it might as well be impossible. If we want to evacuate the personnel at Duke Mining, I estimate that taking a sea route would be very challenging and we would need to find another way.'"

"Li Yalin asked him, 'What if you can't gain control of the situation after you get to Duke Mining?'"

"Ye Chen said, 'If I can't gain control, it's simply because someone inside is not cooperating. As a matter of fact, they have been enslaved by the Clear-Will Society for generations and shouldn't be uncooperative. But if there really are people who refuse to cooperate, that means they are explicitly on my side; in that case, I'll just treat them as enemies.'"

"As he finished speaking, Ye Chen pointed to the person in charge and told Li Yalin, 'Investigator Li, ask that guy where the power distribution panel is at the cargo station. I'll take care of the circuitry here first. Once the circuitry is destroyed, it won't be possible to work through the night; naturally, the loading tasks will have to be delayed until tomorrow morning. This way, all the cargo trains might be affected and at least delayed for six or seven hours. Then, let's adjust our priorities and drag Duke Mining's goods out until after 4 pm tomorrow.'"

"Despite saying that there are electricians on duty at the logistics department, after looking it over, they immediately announced giving up and the entire power distribution box had to be replaced. The necessary parts won't arrive until tomorrow, so recovery will take at least until tomorrow night."

"Without electricity supply, the site also lacks lighting conditions, so all workers temporarily left work and will return in the morning."

"The management department delayed all train departures scheduled for tomorrow, while the person in charge of that department is going to Duke Mining's trains to schedule them to depart at 5 pm tomorrow afternoon." JrNovels.com
