After the inspection, we will return to our management office to check the system to see whether the value upload of these testing equipment is normal and whether it is within a safe threshold.
One frequency of our patrols is once every two hours, and then my colleagues and I will take turns to patrol each other.
Even at night, we will also have a night shift.
It is to ensure that the tower is in a state of detection and protection for 24 hours.

So when I do this job here, I don't feel boring, and every day, I have new and different fun.
