“This situation is akin to the high-speed 4K camera embedded in the surveince system, which operates at a staggering rate of 1,000 photos every second. The AI then employs its immenseputational power to analyze these 1,000 images almost instantaneously. It conducts intelligent assessments, identifying each target helicopter within those photos and cross-referencing them to detect any changes, thereby identifying potential issues. In the event of a problem, it can pinpoint the target in real-time from the 1,000 photos captured every second.”


    “With such a rapid frame rate, we can even observe bullets firing from the barrel, let alone people. Not even ghosts can escape its watchful eye!”


    Sara quietly pondered, “Has technology really advanced this rapidly in recent years?”


    The soldier confirmed with a nod, “This AI model has been operational for less than two years.”


    Sara felt a rush of frustration at this revtion.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Unbeknownst to her, the Rothschild family’s decision to integrate AI into their surveince system stemmed from a mishap at the Zhou family’s residence, where they had arge group monitoring the vi but failed to identify who had entered.


    That incident prompted an overnight mobilization of the AI team to enhance the existing surveince hardware with cutting-edge artificial intelligence.


    This meant that while the hardware remained unchanged, the software suddenly boasted supeputing capabilities.


    However, Sara couldn’t help but think about Charlie.


    She realized that regardless of how advanced the equipment may be, it still relies on electricity. Without power, wouldn’t it simply be a heap of scrap metal?


    Some satellites orbit the Earth, capable of capturing images of matchboxes below. But what good are they if their batteries are removed?


    Just like the smartphone in her hand—no matter how many apps it houses, it bes nothing more than a brick when the battery dies.


    With this thought in mind, she quickly asked, “What if I cut the power supply around here? Wouldn’t that disable all their equipment?”


    “No use,” the soldier replied without hesitation. “It’s just likest night. There was a show, but today, there’s nothing to see.”


    Sara pressed on, “Why not?”<fnf902> ?????? ???? Find?Novel</fnf902>


    The soldier exined, “The Rothschilds were unaware of what transpiredst night. They’ve equipped every surveince point nearby withrge-scale emergency power supplies. These systems can seamlessly switch on if a power outage urs, ensuring that all equipment remains operational for at least 12 hours.”


    He continued, “Oh, and they moved in at least a dozen diesel generators this morning. I’ve heard there are also generator trucks. If the power goes out, they can use the batteries to keep things running, start the diesel generators to recharge, and refuel them simultaneously. The goal is to maintain continuous operation.”


    “To rify, they have dozens of high-speed cameras, each capturing 1,000 photos per second, all equipped with independent power systems. This means they’re processing tens of thousands of high-definition images every second. Even if a few devices fail, it won’t affect the entire operation.”


    As he spoke, the soldier sighed, “AI is incredibly potent. I heard that the Ministry of National Defense was astounded by their model this morning and ns to deploy the Global Hawk drone for testing to see if it can remain airborne for forty hours. The Global Hawk will continuously photograph the target area while their AI processes the data in the cloud. If this pathway is realized, even a dog crawling through the mountains of Afghanistan will be detectable.”


    Listening to this, Sara felt as though countless massive question marks were swirling around her, leaving herpletely bewildered, her vision clouded with stars.


    She might not fully grasp AI, but what the soldier described felt overwhelmingly intimidating.


    The most disciplined ascetic can push the boundaries of human capability, yet no matter how hard she trains her senses, she cannot capture thousands of visual inputs in a single second, nor can her mind analyze thousands of high-definition images at that pace.


    Yet for AI, it merely requires one night of training.


    In that moment, she finallyprehended why she had lived for four centuries, while the elders and earls of the Po Qing Society had survived for over a hundred years, yet the world still belonged to ordinary people with lifespans averaging seventy or eighty years.


    Science and technology are the foremost driving forces of productivity. This truth remains timeless in our modern society!


    What good is it to live for four hundred years and develop skills if technology locks one out?


    This situation mirrors the despair of physicists confronting the proton blockade in “The Three-Body Problem.”


    What’s the point of dedicating your life to studying physics if advanced civilization’s protons are sealed away from you?


    Sara remained unaware that her current predicament was entirely due to Charlie. While shemented her situation, she couldn’t help but think, “How unfortunate is my luck? I merely came to seek the Sifang Bao, just a building, yet it feels as though the entire United States is mobilizing against me!”
