Chapter 1261: 1340: Submersible Blockade Line

A submarine, naturally, is a submersible spacecraft.

So in their experience, it's almost impossible to find this submarine accurately in the open ocean.

But the submarine is finally going to float.

If you keep a close eye on the port, you can float it for loading moments and capture the rare sight of it.

The original port had a permanent location for intelligence agents to investigate the entry and exit of raw materials from the Giant Beast Industry. However, every time the submarine entered the port, the port dispatch would not be notified at all, and even the material entry and exit would be the responsibility of the factory staff.

Intelligence agents intermingled in the harbor have no access to information related to this submarine.

Jia Fangbaiyu made a horse for Tang Jin, and I'm afraid only the United States can come up with such a sea pen, specializing in a reconnaissance satellite to stare at the port.

Now they burn the money and pay back.

Just this morning, tactical commander Maddix received an update from the Pentagon.

The reconnaissance satellite captured an overlooking view of the submarine.

In addition, reconnaissance satellites are not limited to optical photography as a reconnaissance function. As one of the most advanced reconnaissance satellites in the world, it optimizes, at no cost, the tracking capabilities of surface movement targets in addition to advanced optical equipment.

Multiband, multispectral reconnaissance equipment.

Electromagnetic remote sensing equipment.

The reconnaissance satellite will then be able to track routes based on the special tail flow generated by the propellers during the voyage of large vessels, even submarines.

The larger the size of the vessel, the greater the fluctuations in the current generated during surface voyages.

This fluctuation in water flow caused by propellers and hull contours, even if viewed with naked eyes, allows them to see a long white wave dragging on the surface of the sea.

And under sophisticated detective apparatus?

Naturally ~

For reasons of diving in the ocean, the submarine has a propeller tail flow that can only be captured by reconnaissance satellites along the shallow sea.

The kind of online rumor that satellites in space are capable of pulling submarines out of the deep ocean, depending on the special tail flow of the submarine to the surface, is now alien technology that humans do not possess.

So in this latest piece of information, only when the submarine enters the port, is a 20-kilometre long navigational trajectory marked.

Farther away, the propeller's characteristic ripples cannot continue to be captured by the satellite, which has a strict time limit for the observation window.

The observation window for reconnaissance satellites was only eight minutes a day, and if that time was missed, the satellites would fly in orbit elsewhere.

“Enough already!” Tactical Commander Maddix held his fist and watched the intelligence speak to itself, "the 20-kilometre long course trajectory has allowed us to make a preliminary determination of its course. Next, as long as it is preoccupied on the route it may pass, it will never again have a second chance of entering the port. ”

“But…”

“Is this really a submarine? ”

Looking at the satellite overlooking the map, tactical commander Maddix fell into full doubt.

The satellite overlooks the map with precise scales, which, according to the scales data, show that this black-and-black, strangely contoured submarine in the photograph does not look like a submarine at all.

The submarine is either droplet-shaped or transitional, but this one is in the satellite photo. There is no contour of the submarine at all, but rather closer to the landing craft's shape.

It also doesn't have the upper enclosure that the submarine should have, and the enclosure rudder.

Perhaps because of the proximity to the port, the “submarine", unlike the submarine in the picture, actually drifted completely on the surface of the water, entering the port at ten knots.

Of course, reconnaissance equipment would not have tracked a 20-kilometre trajectory so easily if it hadn't surfaced to port.

Tactical Commander Maddix also consulted with submarine experts in the Pentagon.

As a result, he was told directly and confidently that it could not have been a submarine.

The submarine is not designed to be drip shaped, what else is built?

In satellite photographs, the resistance to navigation underwater would be at least three times that of an ordinary submarine. When this triple resistance is converted into the energy that the power system needs to offset, the submarine runs at five knots below water, even if it's a miracle.

What can it be if it's not a sub?

Tactical Commander Maddix and intelligence analysts continue to identify it as a submarine.

Because they never captured the ship's radar feedback signal, not even arranged a satellite, they couldn't figure out if the submarine was round or flat.

Probably designed by Giant Beast Industry to give the submarine more cargo capacity.

……

Whatever the destination, as long as you hunt this submarine, all mysteries will be solved.

As the commander in charge of all operations against the giant animal industry, Maddix also has, of course, the right to send the Fifth Fleet nearest here to hunt the submarine.

The second time the reconnaissance satellites arrived at the port would have to wait until the next morning, and in order to avoid a long nightmare, Maddix immediately began contacting the fifth fleet to arrange a "blockade line” on the mandatory route of the submarine.

The Fifth Fleet Base is located in the Persian Gulf, while the Anut District is located in the Gulf of Guinea.

They are tens of thousands of nautical miles apart and span two oceans.

To accurately mark the route of this mysterious submarine on this endless ocean...

It's not hard, actually.

As a result of an eight-minute investigation in the morning, it has become clear that the submarine is travelling from south to north and anchored in the port along the Gulf of Guinea coastline.

When it returns, then, the route must be along the edge of the continent's plates, passing through the waters adjacent to South Africa, and finally from one side of the waters on both sides of Madagascar, into the open ocean.

This route is the shortest and most economical route back to China.

Giant animal industries will never go thousands of nautical miles and waste valuable time transporting goods.

Madagascar is the fourth largest island in the world, overlooking the African continent, and its middle strait is less than 400 km away. The shortest route is also a must-have route for all civil ships between the two oceans.

Basically, as long as it's intercepted in a strait less than 400 kilometres wide, there's a 90 percent chance it'll intercept the mysterious submarine of the Beast Industry.

Another 10 percent, left to the other side of Madagascar.

If the submarine bypasses Madiks Island and takes the other side of the ocean, just waste a few hundred more nautical miles around the island.

Hundreds more nautical miles, wasting time and energy, but avoiding this busy strait. With the horrible financial power of the giant animal industry, you may not really care about this loss.

So Maddix asked the Fifth Fleet to set up a 400-kilometre "closure line” in this area as well.

Two 400-km long hunting dive blockades are easy for the Fifth Fleet. Mobilize those military vessels in nearby waters to both sides of Madagascar for a maximum of two days.

The loading and unloading of submarines from Giant Beast Industries takes time, as does the sailing back to Madagascar.

Then, two days later, the hunting dive blockade, made up of the world's most powerful maritime military forces, will quietly await the arrival of the submarine.
