Chapter 040: The 84 million kilowatt hours of electricity that disappeared
The Metropolitan Police Department's motorcade was parked under the 100-story building of the Apollo Energy Group.
They were cordially received by the relevant person in charge of the group.
"Sheriff Hattori, you're finally here!"
There was a dark blue around the eyes of the person in charge, and it looked like he hadn't slept well in a long time.
In the conference hall, he told everyone about the problems encountered by the group.
The Apollo Group is the leading energy supply company in the living area, and they provide 24% of the daily electricity used by the living area.
But in the last month, the company's power plant has had problems.
Even though the same materials are used, the electricity generated is 20% less.
"We're weird too.
"I checked the technical measures, power generation facilities, combustion materials, and financial accounting, and found nothing abnormal.
"That one-fifth of the electricity really evaporated out of thin air."
Maki Hattori silently took notes:
The Apollo Group's power supply is as high as 14 million kilowatt hours per day, and a total of 84 million kilowatt hours have been lost in the last month.
That's already quite a scary number!
Kogoro Suzuki sat leisurely.
Neither finance nor technology, he could not understand.
As long as the Apollo Syndicate doesn't have a wasteland invasion, it's none of his business.
"Mr. Suzuki."
Sergeant Hattori asked, "What wasteland creatures can devour electricity?" ”
Finally cueed, Kogoro Suzuki stood up.
He cleared his throat:
"The most common wasteland creatures that feed on electricity are the extreme high-voltage electric eels, but this race only lives in the depths of the sea, so it can be ruled out.
"On land, there are electric soil spiders, bipolar slime molds, etc.
"But it can devour 84 million kilowatt-hours of wasteland organisms......
"Whether it's size or strength, it will be completely beyond our imagination, I don't know if we can hide it in the group?"
Suzuki stretched out his hand exaggeratedly:
"It's probably a few hundred meters long......"
The person in charge hurriedly waved his hand.
"It's absolutely impossible!
"Although there are many empty areas in the group, but there are so many employees, how can there be such a large wasteland creature?"
Musashino listened to their conversation through the spirit clone.
If only I were on the spot.
If you look directly at the scene, it will be clear if there are any wasteland creatures.
It's a pity that the spirit clone only has 0.01% power, so it's hard to do more.
After a brief briefing of the report, Sergeant Hattori decided to go to the scene to investigate, and at the same time asked all relevant technical and financial personnel to arrive at the scene.
The power plant of the Apollo Group, resembling a large stadium with a ceiling.
It is about 400 meters long and 200 meters wide.
The walls are made of metal on all sides, and there are hemispherical energy conversion devices in the middle, and various thick cables crisscross and crisscross.
The entrance to the power plant is above.
Therefore, Sergeant Hattori and others stood on a 20-meter-high platform and looked down at the busy workers below.
Compared to a huge facility, people are insignificant.
Bang –
Bang –
The sound of mechanical collisions reverberates through the vast space.
While Dad and the others were communicating with the technicians, Hattori Maki flashed to the side and asked in a low voice:
"Musashi-san, nothing special, right?"
The spirit clone is invisible.
But she knew that this guy was floating beside her, and she would definitely be able to hear it.
Musashino, who is still in the hospital, keeps turning his perspective:
On the surface, there is nothing unusual about the power plant.
But......
In front of the teleported image, he adjusted the frequency of the spirit's vibration, using the power he had previously absorbed in the spirit realm.
This is the ability to imitate the immortal Naohara and directly observe the soul.
It's just that Musashino can also tell that the souls of wasteland creatures are different from normal humans, so they can find out wasteland creatures.
"This?"
The corners of Musashino's mouth twitched:
The landscape of power plants has indeed changed.
There is a strong "gluttony" in this place, and there is a gray green everywhere, even the circular power generation devices and transmission cables.
The green color, a symbol of gluttony, rises and spreads around every corner.
In the eyes of Musashino,
It's a devil's lair.
The aura of original sin on such a scale completely exploded the "Thief's Box" he had come into contact with before, and there was almost no comparison between the two.
"How did the power plant come to be?"
Won't it be a factory, directly mutated?
Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, Hattori Maki asked, "Musashi-san, are you listening?" ”
"Hmm."
Musashino replied:
"In this power plant, there are terrifying wasteland creatures lurking, more than a hundred times more powerful than the Thief's Box, you have to be careful.
"If you could......
"Go tell your father to evacuate in a low-key manner, and don't alarm this wasteland.
"After a successful evacuation, go and notify the top transcendents in the survival zone and let them deal with it."
Maki Hattori held her breath.
More than 100 times more powerful than the Thief's Box.......
Musashino's description made her feel suffocated.
Wouldn't such a wasteland creature be able to slap everyone here with a slap in the face?
At this point, Sergeant Hattori finished listening to the report.
He was puzzled.
Listening to the descriptions of these group employees, it seems that it is indeed not a technical, equipment, or financial problem.
Was it really eaten?
Is it possible that wasteland creatures that can eat 84 million kilowatt hours of electricity exist?
When Sergeant Hattori was thinking, he saw Maki standing aside.
Hey?
By the way, isn't there a mysterious big man behind Maki.
Maki Hattori's face was pale, and he was thinking about how to convince his father to let everyone evacuate quietly.
However, she didn't expect that her father took the initiative to come over:
"Ahem-
"Maki, I talked to you before, if you have a teacher to guide you on the transcendent path, Dad has no objection to you taking this path.
"Your teacher......
"I mean, if you have such a teacher.
"Will he have any prior guidance for you to come to Apollo Energy?"
Sergeant Hattori was careful with his words.
For fear of offending "that mysterious adult", I will be scolded again.
Musashino, who was still in the hospital, sat up suddenly.
He could see the scene through the spirit clone, and of course he could hear the words of Sergeant Hattori.
"Maki's father, who actually knows about my existence?"
Musashino was stunned.
But think about it.
The other party doesn't know, that's the problem.
As a senior staff member of the Metropolitan Police Department, how could he do nothing about his daughter's affairs.
But look at Sheriff Hattori......
It seems to be cautious and very scared of me?
Maki Hattori saw that his father took the initiative to ask, and reminded in a whisper with his lips:
"Get out of here.
"He told you to get out of here, don't disturb the wasteland here."
Sergeant Hattori has worked for many years and has a lot of experience.
In the Apollo Energy Group, there are really wasteland creatures that can devour 84 million kilowatt hours of electricity.
Despite his astonishment, he organized the police force as if nothing had happened:
"Alright.
"That's all for today's on-site understanding, we will carefully study and file the case after we go back, and everyone will evacuate in an orderly manner."
The officers were baffled.
There's still a lot of work to be done......
But they still stood up and obeyed:
"Yes!"
Metropolitan Police Department personnel lined up and prepared to evacuate.
However, a technician suddenly ran over and closed the door, blocking their way.
The technician leaned against the door, squinting his eyes:
"I know, you've found out, in that case......
"Don't go."
