So for the second stage, what was needed was distance. Simply put, take off.
While on the ground, even looking up, they could not see the ceiling, only darkness.
But when they flew into the boundless sky and looked down from roughly a hundred thousand meters up, the piles of goods on the ground could still be seen clearly.
That was it. If they were viewed as piles of goods, naturally nothing could be made out. But from a sufficient height, if every pile was treated as a pixel, the answer appeared before their eyes.
