Chapter 3623 It’s all under control

Everyone working on this research vessel is a top student. Matsushita Heikichi, in addition to his major in nautical technology, also earned two degrees in marine electrical engineering during his university years, so he has a thorough understanding of information technology equipment.

Ye Chen's request wasn't difficult. He only needed to remove the communication module from the transport vehicle, which had already been shut down, install a Starlink device, connect it, and then transmit the data to the designated address.

For Matsushita Heikichi, this was something he could easily solve with a few words.

So when the fuel truck arrived, Matsushita Heikichi took advantage of the fact that it would take at least two hours to transport the fuel, and managed to get the staff out of the way. He completed the equipment modification in less than an hour.

The vehicle's GPS positioning module is a simple, plug-and-play module. Once powered on, the module immediately begins searching for GPS satellites and acquiring coordinates. It then pushes the real-time coordinates to the data interface five times per second.

Any device in the car that needs GPS coordinates can directly capture them from this data interface. The driving trajectory recorder captures GPS coordinates and stores them in the black box. By continuously capturing them, it generates route records. The navigation system captures GPS coordinates and displays them on the map in real time to provide navigation services for the vehicle. The background monitoring equipment also captures coordinates in real time and uploads them to the server of the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology via satellite.

However, because the original communication module has been removed, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology still cannot obtain the real-time coordinates of this location even though GPS has been activated.

Ye Chen had Matsushita Heikichi activate Starlink, which directly uploaded all this data to a relay server, which then transmitted it to the AI ​​model.

In addition, the video signals from the vehicle's dashcam, 360-degree surround view function, and in-cabin camera are also connected to Starlink, enabling all images to be uploaded in real time.

At the top of the transport vehicle, there is a protrusion resembling a large backpack, where equipment such as network communication, satellite positioning, and high-power antennas are basically integrated. Panasonic Hirayakichi also hid Starlink here and then closed the cover again, achieving a near-seamless concealment.

Ye Chen contacted Li Yalin via satellite phone, asking him to try to capture this information through the relay server. The relay server is an external firewall. Even if the modifications he made to Matsushita Heikichi were discovered, others could only see that the data was transmitted to the relay server through the settings of these devices. However, they would not be able to find out who was operating the relay server or who took the data from it.

Li Yalin hadn't expected that the elder of the Broken Qing Society who had disappeared in Ushuaia would actually reach the Antarctic continent. He also hadn't expected that Ye Chen would use such a method to achieve a certain degree of counter-surveillance. While praising him, he immediately instructed the AI ​​model to start capturing the data.

Soon, the AI ​​model grasped the car's real-time dynamics and surrounding video signals.

Because GPS acquires coordinates very frequently, its location can be displayed in real time even when the vehicle is traveling at high speed, and the accuracy is within one meter.

Even more impressively, because they obtained data from the vehicle's 360-degree surround-view cameras, once the elder appeared near the vehicle, his face would be immediately uploaded to the AI ​​model, which would then be able to recognize him instantly.

Seeing this, Li Yalin said to Ye Chen, "Mr. Ye, it would be even better if we could get them to connect the audio signal of the vehicle intercom system as well, so we can hear their conversation in real time."

As expected of a Chinese detective, his sensitivity to information was much better than Ye Chen's. Ye Chen was suddenly reminded and said with delight, "This is easy. I'll have that guy do it quickly."

Matsushita Heikichi worked tirelessly and immediately connected all the vehicle communication equipment and the audio from the vehicle video recording to Starlink.

In this way, not only their communication channels will be captured, but also the communication between people inside the vehicle and the conversations of people around the vehicle.

Moreover, even if people are far away, the sound is unclear, or there is a lot of ambient noise, these are not problems, because the AI ​​model is constantly iterating and its audio processing capabilities are already amazing. It can not only amplify the sound, but also remove all ambient noise and background noise, making the human voice clearer.

Everything is under control.

Two hours later, the trucks loaded with dozens of tons of fuel began their return journey.

Its coordinates are updated in real time in the AI ​​model, and all channel communications are translated into Chinese in real time by AI.

Upon seeing the AI-translated dialogue, Li Yalin immediately noticed several highly suspicious points.

For example, they mentioned four internal code names in their conversation: the First Land Exploration Team, the Second Land Exploration Team, the Third Land Exploration Team, and the Air Exploration Team, which indicates that the other party was conducting a very large-scale exploration operation.

For example, they mentioned underground towns several times during their conversations, and asked each other to confirm whether the radar results indicated the possibility of underground towns existing.

So he immediately reported the situation to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen then realized that the other party was constantly scanning the Antarctic ice sheet in order to find an underground city.

Logically speaking, this place must have been established long before the emergence of Homo sapiens. Even with today's advanced technology, humans still cannot establish towns under the Antarctic ice sheet, so it would have been even more impossible for ancient people.

In other words, if ancient people had gone to this place without good equipment and supplies, they would have been almost certainly killed.

Just as he was wondering, he suddenly thought of Lin Wan'er.

Lin Wan'er was physically weak, but because she had taken the Eternal Green Pill, the extreme cold was not a problem for her.

Then he thought that if Lin Wan'er could be fearless of extreme cold even without cultivation, how much more so those cultivators who were like him or whose cultivation was far superior to his?

It's not too difficult for monks to come to Antarctica. Even if it's not easy to get in during the winter, it's not a big problem in the summer.

Thus, he gradually formed a clear comparison between the past and the present in his mind.

Currently, it is very difficult for ordinary people to enter Antarctica, but scientists can enter with their advanced equipment.

In ancient Antarctica, ordinary people could not possibly enter; only cultivators with powerful cultivation levels could.

This means that in ancient times, Antarctica was a true paradise for monks.

Even in the deepest mountains, ordinary people might accidentally wander in, but this is absolutely impossible in Antarctica.

The Devil's Forties act like a natural defensive barrier, completely keeping ordinary people out.

This pure land, completely isolated from ordinary people, is an excellent place for cultivators to cultivate.

The elders of the Broken Qing Society are searching for the underground city here. Could it be that it was built by the cultivators back then?

Antarctica has remained untouched for at least several thousand years in the history of human civilization. If a sect were to seize this opportunity and develop and thrive there for hundreds or even thousands of years, the sect would undoubtedly be very large.

Although the Antarctic ice sheet has been formed for hundreds of millions of years, the extreme low temperatures, strong storms, and blizzards here are constant. If cultivators were to live and multiply here for a long time, the newborn, young, and old cultivators would not be able to withstand such extreme weather. Therefore, the best option is to build an underground town that can shelter from the storms.

If all these inferences are true, then these cultivators lost their final path to ascension during the Dharma-ending Age. There are only two possibilities for them: either they gradually died off generation after generation, their numbers dwindled, they fell into a population trap, and eventually all perished; or they continued to multiply in some unknown corner until today!
