Semua Bab The Charismatic Charlie Wade: Bab 6751 - Bab 6760

Pausing, Hugo continued, "Now, let's liken Planet Earth to a stadium that can accommodate 50,000 people. If we take a single photo that contains everyone, the faces will be nothing more than dot pixels—we're not going to be identifying a thing, let alone finding someone we want in the mix."But if we set up the cameras at the center of the stadium and split it into, say, ten zones, and take photos from each zone before combining each into one big picture, the pixels are naturally ten times more precise. However, it remains that finding someone is still impossible because there are just too many faces to comb through—they would all look like one big glob altogether."Now, if we split the 50,000 people by taking photos of every one hundred people and then combining every one hundred photos into one, the pixels would naturally be way more precise, and we could more or less guess the gender of each person, but that also means a lot more photos would need to be stored. If we stay on that

Hugo nodded, "Yes, in theory—because the Earth is round, the best satellite angles are from vertical shots. But that also means each satellite has limited coverage, and you'll need enough satellites to cover the globe."It's like trying to envelope the world in a ball of thread to cover every inch of the world, with one satellite passing through orbit every few dozen seconds. Of course, the orbit will extend if you don't have enough satellites."Charlie then asked, "In that case, how many satellites do we need to cover one place in a day?""Two to five with technology maturity," Hugo replied. "Most civilian enterprises in the States have that capacity, and some of the best can cover a target area up to eight times a day. That means the satellite can orbit that area every three hours per day if necessary.""How much are companies like that worth? Are they purchasable?" Charlie asked.Hugo thought about it. "Around three to four billion, if memory serves… but it's troublesome since

Julien was left exasperated, but he couldn't argue. "Yes, Father. I'll do as you say."Just then, Lady Eliza and an elegantly dressed Helena entered.Both Julien and Harrison stopped talking and stood up as Helena glided toward them gracefully with a faint smile, "It's alright. Please, sit."As both men sat, Harrison couldn't help asking, "Your Majesty, may I ask if there's anything that I can help with, now that the handover is complete? Please, you can ask for anything. Once it's all done, I'll be dropping by New York before returning to discuss our future investments."While Harrison was skirting around the most important subject, Helena naturally read between the lines—all Harrison wanted was for her to hold up her end of her bargain as soon as possible so that he could return to New York soon.Smiling, she said, "Well, there's nothing that needs your attention right now. You should return to New York tomorrow if it's urgent."Harrison was at first delighted since that meant

It was only then that Charlie made a serious face and told Helena, "You need to be sharp instead of hesitating at every turn. Just do as I say without hesitation."Helena's heart skipped a beat as she was reminded of the time Charlie had lost consciousness while she lay naked beside him.It was because she wasn't determined at that moment that nothing ever happened in the end.Regret swelled in her mind, leaving her with a mix of emotions as she sighed inwardly, and she thought to herself that if she had been more determined, as Charlie had said…Still, she was looking downward at the pill she was holding before she knew it. When she looked up again, her expression and tone were determined. "Don't worry, Mr. Wade. I'll never hesitate again and be determined to see things through to the end."Charlie had no idea what she was actually thinking, and he nodded with a contented smile. "You are a queen who stands above millions. Being determined is a necessary virtue, and you need to

The pill was no more than a few grams, and it was even lighter after it was cut in half. If anything, Helena's cutting was so close to the middle that it made it even harder to measure, so trying to decide if one was lighter needed precision scales.Harrison weighed both halves in his palm for a long while, but he couldn't feel any difference.His gut swelling with regret, he sighed audibly, "If I knew this would happen, I would have just brought a pocket weighing scale…"Helena smiled. "There's really no reason to get so fussy, Mr. Rothschild. Both halves are pretty much the same."Harrison nodded but said, "I agree, but if this pill is 10 grams, that means each gram is worth 5 billion dollars. It's probably the most expensive object known to exist, so even if it's 0.1 gram, that's still 500 million…""That's true," Helena smiled and nodded. "But as much as it's wise to be calculative, there are times when one just has to take a leap of faith. In fact, a mentor I adore just told
