This is a very large but dimly lit room with almost no light.
The structure of the room presents a fan shape.
In the deepest part, there are a large number of holographic displays overlapped together, forming a scene like future technology.
In the room, the only light source is the large number of holographic displays.
On the display, the numbers displayed by the metering bar are passing and changing rapidly, and only a map is shown on the largest display in the center.
Noah and Rintaro almost recognized the body of the map in the first place.
That is a map of the Tokyo area.
"Two, please come in with me."
Akima Atsushi greeted him like this, and led Noah and Rintaro into this room that felt full of technology.
Looking around, Noah asked curiously.
"Where is this place?"
"To sum it up in one sentence, it would be the control room that manages the electricity." Atsuru Shimazaki gave a deep smile.
"At least, on the surface."
"Surface?" Rintaro turned around and looked at Atsuro in the cabinet.
"In other words, is there another purpose here?"
"Exactly." Atsushi Arkama explained.
"Presumably, the two of you must know that electricity must be transmitted through high voltage and power lines before it can finally reach its destination. However, in this case, the electricity will usually be seriously affected on the way to ordinary households. Attrition, it's too wasteful, right?"
"Furthermore, there are also large databases, for example, in order to prevent the server from being overloaded or the amount of data increased sharply. It is often necessary to keep a large amount of power idle. Only part of the power sent in the past has to be wasted. The example exists." Atsukuma pointed to the front monitor.
"This system is to monitor the use of energy. Under the premise of avoiding power outages, it can efficiently transmit and distribute the appropriate power. Based on this idea, the first generation of Shengtianzi started to build this place."
"However, they have all been built to this scale. If they are just used to manage electricity, it would be too wasteful, right?" Noah interjected very casually.
"So, while managing electricity, it is necessary to have some other functions here, such as managing monitors in the Tokyo area, right?"
"... President Noah is really smart." Atsushi in the cabinet helplessly spread his hands.
"Yes, here you can see all the monitors in the Tokyo area used to take pictures."
"All?" Lentaro couldn't help being dumbfounded.
"No wonder there are so many monitors here."
"That's not right, Rentaro." Noah corrected Rentaro's words.
"If it can really monitor the entire Tokyo area, then the number of monitors here is too small."
After all, the number of monitors in the entire Tokyo area is simply unimaginable.
Regardless of important facilities such as stations, airports, and banks, in the Tokyo area and the rest of the world, surveillance cameras are most often installed.
Because some of the gastroenterologists are likely to sneak into human habitations through the gaps in the magnetic field released by the megalithic monument, bringing about a gastroenterial virus infection that is more terrifying than the plague.
In order to prevent the invasion of gastroenterologists and to destroy the gastroenterologists that enter human habitation anytime and anywhere, today, every area is equipped with many monitors, and almost the entire area is monitored.
Of course, as the number of monitors increases, it is almost impossible to know what is happening in every corner of a region all the time.
Calculated by number alone, taking the Tokyo area as an example, the number of monitors here can be described as tens of thousands.
With so many monitors, if people were to manage the monitoring, it would not know how much manpower would be wasted to take care of them.
"So, it became a necessity to manage the monitor with an intelligent system, and this place was born."
Atsushi Akima seemed to admire Noah's sharp thinking and stepped forward to the large number of monitors.
In front of these displays, there are some staff members.
Atsushi Arkama whispered a few words to the staff, and the staff nodded and started to operate.
In the next moment, the Tokyo area map on the central display began to be streamlined and gradually expanded, and finally shrunk into an area, splitting out several screens, and displaying them in front of everyone.
"The two are looking for President Qi Wu, right?" Atsuro Arkama turned around and said to Noah and Rintaro.
"I have had people search through the facial recognition program installed in the control room here, and the results will soon be available."
Akima Atsushi's words just fell, and a corner of the huge display screen that divided several screens, one screen was enlarged to fill the entire display.
The picture that appeared on the monitor was the scene of Qi Wu Zongxuan in the hotel room, sitting on the sofa, holding his mobile phone, and not knowing who he was talking with.
"President Qiwu is in the hotel now, and he has not left." Atsukami shrugged.
"Didn't the two of you go to the hotel to find it before?"
"We don't want to see the whereabouts of Qi Wu Zongxuan now." Noah said directly.
"Let's call out the surveillance screen after Qi Wu Zongxuan sneaked out of the hotel yesterday."
"Sneak out of the hotel?" Atsushi's eyes rolled slightly in the cabinet, and he was obviously confused about this situation in his heart.
However, Atsukuma still asked the staff to call up yesterday's surveillance screen.
After a while, the picture on the central monitor changed again and turned into a scene outside the hotel.
Then, Noah, Rintaro, and Atsushi Akima saw it at the same time.
Qi Wu Zongxuan, who changed into a formal attire and dressed as an ordinary business person, brought neither bodyguards nor guards. He just came to the street by himself, drove a car, and left the hotel.
Upon seeing this, Noah spoke immediately.
"Call out all the monitoring screens behind!"
I have to say that if Noah, who has been dealing with various characters, really gives orders, he will be like a noble high-ranking person, and his voice and posture are full of majesty.
Therefore, a group of staff almost subconsciously followed Noah's orders, without the consent of Atsukuma Atsushi, making Atsukuma's expression a bit sad.
Under the operation of the staff, the surveillance pictures of the vehicles that Qi Wu Zongxuan was riding in all the way were called out one after another.
It wasn't until a short time later that the vehicle on the screen stopped in one place, opened the door, and let Qi Wu Zongxuan get out of it.
After getting off the bus, Qi Wu Zongxuan looked around, glanced at the watch on his wrist, confirmed the time, and then walked forward to a restaurant, sat down, and ate lunch leisurely. .
Neither Noah nor Rintaro spoke, they just kept staring at the monitor screen, watching Qi Wu Zongxuan's actions.
At a certain moment, Qi Wu Zongxuan confirmed the time again, then paid the bill, walked out of the restaurant, all the way to the sparsely populated alley.
Finally, Qi Wu Zongxuan came to a dim corner.
There, there was already a person waiting for Qi Wu Zongxuan.
Looking at the person who was staying in the dim corner on the display, and started talking with Qi Wu Zongxuan, the eyes of Noah and Rintaro suddenly condensed.
The person who talked with Qi Wu Zongxuan joint in the photo that Zi Heng brought was completely obscured because of the shooting angle.
But at this moment, the picture presented on the monitor allows Noah and Rintaro to see the full picture of the person clearly.
"That's..." Atsushi in the cabinet said in surprise.
"Commander Soma Zongxiong?"
Yes.
The person who made the connection with Qi Wu Zongxuan was the last time he was in the embassy, before the start of the international conference, in the lounge, he treated Noah and his party as rude little ghosts, and arrogantly scolded Noah and his party. The commander-in-chief of the guard-Soma Zongxiong.
"So it was him?" Rentaro whispered.
"Is he the spy arranged by Qi Wu Zongxuan in the Tokyo area?"
"Not necessarily." Noah said lightly.
"It's also possible that after the conflict with us last time, I felt resentment, and then reached a cooperation agreement with Qi Wu Zongxuan."
"It's like what the self-righteous commander would do." Rentaro sarcastically.
"Perhaps, he was just used by Qi Wu Zongxuan."
"No matter what, our next goal is finally figured out." Noah glanced at Soma Sokuma on the monitor.
"Go find this idiot!"
