The Amazing son in law Chapter 7868
“No problem!” Matsushita Heikichi said respectfully, “I will do my best to implement this as soon as possible.”
charlie wade nodded and said, “Go and do it now. I’ll wait in your room. Tell your crew that no one is allowed to come near your room.”
“Okay!” Matsushita Heikichi said sincerely, “Please wait here for a moment, I will make the arrangements.”
Remembering something, charlie wade reminded him, “By the way, when will the people from the research station come again?”
Matsushita Heikichi thought for a moment and said, “They have organized an oil transport team that comes to deliver fuel once or twice a day. It should arrive in another two or three hours.”
The research station consumes an enormous amount of fuel, more than ever before, not even during the Antarctic summer, let alone the Antarctic winter. With so many people and their research team members, they have never been this busy.
Almost all vehicles and helicopters now operate outdoors continuously, and radar scanning requires a lot of electricity, so the internal combustion engines on these vehicles and aircraft also consume a lot of fuel to provide power.
In winter, Japanese research helicopters, when equipped with ice radar, consume approximately two tons of fuel per hour, making them absolute fuel guzzlers.
To ensure the operation of these facilities, the Japanese research team organized a special fuel transport team, using a snow tractor paired with a heavy-duty fuel tanker trailer to transport a full truckload of fuel back every day. The 20-ton capacity of this fuel tanker is only enough for a helicopter to use in one trip.
Upon hearing that the transport team was coming, charlie wade asked Matsushita Heikichi, “Do the transport vehicles have GPS tracking and video recording capabilities?”
“Yes,” Matsushita Heikichi explained. “Actually, every vehicle used at the Antarctic research station is equipped with GPS positioning and an Internet of Things system. Moreover, this data is made available to the relevant domestic authorities. They can monitor the vehicle’s location in real time, and even the real-time video around the vehicle. However, we have been ordered to remove the network modules from all the vehicles. Without the network, the video and GPS coordinates cannot be uploaded, and the relevant domestic authorities cannot track them.”
charlie wade asked him, “Are you sure you only removed the network communication module?”
“Confirmed.” Matsushita Heikichi said, “The order given by Guanghan Zhenren is that the domestic authorities must not know the real-time status of all vehicles and equipment. Therefore, we immediately arranged to remove the IoT modules of all equipment, including our research vessel. Theoretically speaking, as long as the network module is restored, the coordinate information will be immediately uploaded to the server via satellite, and the local staff will be able to see it.”
charlie wade asked him, “Is there any way to quietly restore the network communication function of these cars? But there is one thing: we can’t let them transmit any data to your local area. Instead, we have to transmit all the data to my server according to my requirements.”
Matsushita Heikichi nodded and said, “That’s not difficult either. We just need to replace the network communication module. We happen to have some Starlink systems on board, so we just need to install one of the Starlink systems on the vehicle and set the data transmission address.”
Then, Matsushita Heikichi explained, “GPS and vehicle cameras are not intelligent hardware; they only provide data, just like a mobile phone’s GPS and camera. The communication module we removed is used to send data to the relevant domestic authorities. It also uses a dedicated network for transmission. We just need to replace them.”
charlie wade was immediately overjoyed.
