The AI soon started its own thinking and calculations, it collected information about these oil fields, then analysed and compared the data, and after a few seconds, it replied, “I think the most likely one to hide thousands of people is Raphael Oil, the reason is that I compared the information related to the seven oil companies’ presence in the Nigerian Labour Congress, and this company’s registeredThe number of employees is the smallest among the seven oil companies, but the production capacity is the second highest among the seven oil companies, its per capita output ratio is already far beyond the normal standard of the Nigerian oil extraction industry, which proves that it has more unknown labourers working for him;”
Li Yalin spoke, “You also have to consider the possibility of non-registered employees, the dimension you are counting is the employee information data which comes from the Labour Congress, which means that only the regular employees in the oil field who are members of the guild will be recorded by the Labour Congress, and if they are using a large number of unregistered informal employees, there is a possibility that your judgement will be biased;”
AI replied after a few seconds, “What you said makes sense, I have accessed all the information related to unofficial employees in Nigeria, and I have seen a large number of reports and records of unofficial employees who have been maimed or killed in the line of duty, it seems that this situation is very common in Nigeria.”
Li Yalin said to the crowd, “AI’s execution power is indeed very strong, simply obtaining and collecting relevant data without official formal channels may also require a lot of manpower, resources and time, for AI, it’s just a matter of seconds.”
After saying that, Li Yalin asked him again, “Think about it in a different way of thinking, are there any other ways to conduct a check?”
After a few seconds, the AI replied, “I just obtained its database information through a loophole in the Nigerian power supply department’s website frontend, and got the monthly power consumption of these seven enterprises, and then through a loophole in the databases of the Nigerian petroleum department as well as the tax department, I got the monthly production of the seven enterprises, and based on these two pieces of data, I counted the unit of the seven oilfields’power consumption, that is, the amount of electricity they each need to produce one tonne of oil, of these, KS Petroleum’s unit power consumption is the highest, exceeding the average of the other six by 15%, which means that KS uses an extra 15% of the electricity, and I have a reasonable suspicion that this portion of the electricity is being used as a necessity for the lives of those thousands of people, so it is now the most suspected.”
Li Yalin raised his eyebrows and smiled, “That’s quite clever, and it’s really something to be able to obtain so much non-public data in such a short period of time.”
Ye Chen asked him, “In that case, this KS Petroleum is indeed highly suspicious?”
Li Yalin shook his head, “It’s not certain yet, the AI doesn’t know enough about human nature and will overlook many objective factors.”
After saying that, he added to the AI, “You haven’t considered the possibility that there are oil fields that conceal their production, although the electricity consumption data that they leave behind in the power supply department cannot be faked by a large margin, once a certain oil company conceals its production from the outside world, it will also indirectly raise the power consumption per unit that you are talking about, in other words, if the KS oil field isn’t using an extra 15% of electricity, but is quietly concealing15% of its production capacity, then your judgement is wrong again.”
AI immediately replied, “What you said makes sense, I checked the information on the concealment of production in Nigeria, the problem of oil smuggling has always been serious in the country, concealment of production can be considered a well-known secret in the country’s oil industry, if there is a concealment of production in the KS oil, then the credibility of this data will be greatly reduced, if these seven companies are all concealing their production to varying degrees, then the data on unit power consumption will lose its meaning.”
Li Yalin added: “You have to consider human nature more, especially the psychology of criminals, there are times when criminals, when engaging in an illegal act with serious consequences, will try to be as law-abiding as possible in other areas in order to avoid exposing themselves as much as possible, will this give you some inspiration?”
