When Charlie heard this, he could not help but feel admiration for this organization’s meticulousness.
Generally speaking, the larger the organization, the more difficult it was to take care of details.
However, the Qing Eliminating Society could handle all kinds of details very well even with such a huge scale, and this was indeed remarkable.
Once they were targeted by a party who was interested, it would be easy for clues about things such as energy consumption to reveal many things.
Often, by analyzing the electricity consumption data of residential buildings, police officers could find that the power consumption of a certain household was several times more compared to that of other neighbors of the same household type. Upon investigation, they would find that they were using high-powered fluorescent lamps to cultivate prohibited plants in their homes.
That kind of three-bedroom house used water and natural gas that would accommodate more than ten or twenty people a month. Once this abnormality was discovered, there would be a high probability of tracing the den of a pyramid scheme with twenty to thirty personnel inside.
Therefore, if this copper mine did not want to expose any clues, all of its energy consumption, public procurement of materials, and even emissions of waste, had to be in line with the scale of three-hundred people so as not to let anyone discover any anomalies.
Otherwise, once any indicator was abnormal, it would be noticed by potential enemies.
This also made Charlie realize that many of his previous operations actually lacked similar details. Whether it was the auction for the Rejuvenating Pill or the Apothecary Pharmaceutical, which was well-known worldwide at this time, they were actually somewhat high profile. Now, once they were targeted by the Qing Elimination Society, it would only be a matter of time before they were found out.
Charlie asked in surprise, “Is the safe connected to a network?”
“Yes.” Lucian nodded and said, “It’s not only connected to a network, but it also has a self-destruct device. Once we open a new safe, the previous safe will self-destruct. Once the safe encounters brute force, self-destruction will also be triggered. Therefore, we can only take the antidote from the safe with authorization from the organization. The safe has its own identification function to accurately record how many antidotes we take out. We can only take a fixed amount of antidotes each time and not even one more. Otherwise, when the organization realizes that things are out of control, it will start the self-destruction of the safe immediately.”
Having said that, Lucian added, “It’s not just for our safe, but it’s also the same case for the safe in the hands of the Section Ambassador in the base in Cyprus. Although there are emergency antidotes reserved in his safe, he still needs to apply for authorization from the organization to open it. Once there is something wrong, the organization will stop the supply of the antidote immediately and destroy the antidote stored in the safe at the same time so that everyone in the base will die within a week at most.”
Charlie asked with some doubt, “If such an important thing is connected to the network, wouldn’t it all be over if the network was hacked?”
