Duan Liye replied, “There are almost three hundred tons of various food and drugs, as well as a large amount of weapons and ammunition, clothing and daily necessities, as well as various living materials needed by the dead soldiers, consumables for air and water purification equipment, and in addition to that, there are almost five hundred tons of diesel fuel.”
Ye Chen asked him, “Diesel still needs to be transported from Turkey this far?”
Duan Liye explained, “The outside world thinks that there are only a few hundred people working and living in the copper mine, but in fact there are three to four thousand people inside, so not only is the cost of materials huge, but energy consumption is also very large. Once someone with an eye on this data, they will be able to detect it, so the organisation has asked that no base be exposed to any clues.”
As he said, Duan Liye added: “Because we have to fill the energy consumption of these three to four thousand people, we have sent them four large diesel generating sets from Turkey, and all of their living electricity is met through diesel power generation, but a copper mine will also make people suspicious if the diesel consumption is too large, so all the diesel they need is provided by us, and after the ships dock, there is a special pipeline connected to the copper mine, and the diesel is directly transported through the pipeline to finish.”
Hearing this, Ye Chen also couldn’t help but have a little admiration for the meticulousness of this organisation.
Generally speaking, the larger the organisation, the more difficult it was to take care of the details.
However, it was indeed remarkable that the Broken Clear Society, with such a huge scale, managed to handle all sorts of details very well.
Things like energy consumption can easily be seen once someone with an eye on it.
Often, by analysing the electricity consumption data of a residential building, the police find that a particular household consumes several times more electricity than its other neighbours of the same type, and only upon investigation do they discover that they are using high-powered fluorescent lamps to cultivate forbidden plants in their homes.
And that kind of three-bedroom house uses the water and gas consumption of a dozen or two dozen people a month. Once this anomaly is discovered, the odds are that the house is traced back to a pyramid scheme den, a three-bedroom house with 20 or 30 pyramid scheme workers crammed inside.
Therefore, if this copper mine does not want to reveal any clues, then all its energy consumption, publicly purchased materials, and even the waste it emits, must match the size of three hundred people in order for no one to notice the anomaly.
Otherwise, once any of the indicators appeared abnormal, it could be detected by potential enemies.
This also made Ye Chen realise that many of his previous operations were actually quite lacking in similar details, whether it was the Spring Return Pill auction or the Jiu Xuan Pharmaceuticals, which had gained worldwide popularity during this period of time, were actually a bit high-profile, and once they were targeted by the Broken Clear Society, it would only be a matter of time before they were investigated.
At this time, Duan Liye spoke again, “By the way, inside the supplies I carried this time, there is also an antidote for them.”
Ye Chen asked him, “Was the antidote produced and made in Turkey?”
