Field notes
The excerpt's chapter shifts from a timestamped incident record to Marit Hellinga's first visit to Kobbersund, where a former copper mine now houses computing racks. Dialogue links the site's present infrastructure to an earlier bitcoin operation that nearly failed; the story identifies an 80-megawatt power line from a hydro plant as the company's surviving asset. The extracted text ends during a sentence about renting out the graphics cards, so further operational details are not visible.
