The Amazing son in law Chapter 7874
Seeing Wu Bolin (Bick)’s shocked expression, Kikuchi Kohei truthfully replied, “Reporting to you, it is indeed that far. Moreover, the area is not just a flat ice sheet; there are also numerous icebergs and hills. Our travel speed will be greatly reduced by taking a detour. Even if the snowmobile travels non-stop, the entire process will take at least eight days.”
“Eight days…”
Wu Bolin (Bick) couldn’t help but question, “Isn’t the straight-line distance only a little over 1,300 kilometers? Why not just fly there?”
Kohei Kikuchi quickly explained to him, “Reporting to you, Master, about 1,000 kilometers of this 1,300-kilometer distance is at sea. This means that there is nowhere for the helicopter to stop and refuel along the way. Even with auxiliary fuel tanks, it simply cannot fly that far.”
Wu Bolin (Bick) asked him, “So, you mean there’s no other way but to take a detour?”
Kohei Kikuchi thought for a moment and said, “There’s no other good way.”
Wu Bolin (Bick) then asked, “What about the boat? What if we set sail? We can land the helicopter on the boat, sail the boat to waters closer to them, and then transfer the helicopter there!”
Kohei Kikuchi shook his head: “Didn’t Masato not want the Japanese people to know the specifics of the ship? If the ship moves, they’ll know we’re lying, which is tantamount to treason, and they might even send troops to quell the rebellion.”
Wu Bolin (Bick) said, “Can’t I just turn off the entire positioning system? How can they detect that the ship is moving if the positioning system is turned off?”
Kohei Kikuchi pointed to the sky and said, “Spy satellites and commercial camera satellites pass over us every day. They have relatively fixed orbits and take pictures of the ground. The system automatically compares these pictures with previous ones, making it easy to detect which objects have moved.”
Wu Bolin (Bick) cursed, “Do you think I’m stupid? Isn’t it polar night now? What can a satellite possibly capture?”
Kohei Kikuchi said aggrievedly, “Although it’s polar night, there are auroras, so the visibility isn’t too bad. Moreover, the satellite’s resolution and light sensitivity are much higher than the human eye. What the human eye can’t see, the camera can still see. And most importantly, our research vessel is very large, so even at night, it can be seen from the satellite. Small objects like vehicles and helicopters are relatively safe.”
Wu Bolin (Bick) was so angry he jumped up and down.
This is f*cking too tricky!
Even if he was arrogant, he wouldn’t dare to confront a sovereign nation. If Japan discovered that these research team members seemed to have betrayed the country and actually sent troops, even if he could escape, his search for the Gate of Ascension would be put on hold, and the Japanese might also discover the psychological manipulation he had used on those research team members.
In this case, the only way to reach the research station in the United States would probably be by land.
Eight days to go, eight days to return, that’s sixteen days.
Wu Bolin (Bick) was on the verge of tears.
However, he also knew very well that with the current capabilities of the Japanese research team, it was simply a pipe dream to complete the exploration of the entire Antarctic this winter. If they could take down the American McMurdo Station, which had a large number of people, supplies and equipment, it would be a completely different story, and the entire search speed would increase by at least three or four times.
Thinking about it this way, the sixteen-day delay on the road isn’t such a big problem; it’s just a necessary investment.
Having figured this out, he immediately said to Kohei Kikuchi, “Prepare as quickly as possible; we’re about to set off to that American research station to expand our territory!”
Kikuchi Kohei respectfully replied, “Yes, Master, I obey!”
…
When charlie wade returned to the Nordic research station, Li Yalin had already completed the deep processing of the captured audio using AI.
The AI algorithm gradually stripped away all the natural and equipment noise, clearly restoring the conversation between Wu Bolin (Bick) and Kohei Kikuchi.
Realizing that Wu Bolin (Bick) was about to make a major move, he immediately sent the processed audio and video to charlie wade.
