Chapter 2869: Mysterious Satellite

Lin Rui and Jiang An reported on the current situation of the Russian branch to Silver Wolf. Silver Wolf said that they can handle matters of the Russian branch completely on their own and do not need to ask for instructions too much.
After the conversation, Lin Rui and Jiang An came out of the headquarters office building. Jiang An whispered, "Isn't you telling Silver Wolf about the map for now?"
"Yes." Lin Rui nodded. "At present, he and Black Panther Gulei are busy with affairs in Africa, and even if they tell him, there is no time to take care of them. So we'd better wait until there are results."
Jiang An nodded, "Shall we go to Cobain now?"
"Yes." Lin Rui nodded and said, "Go to the communication base and look for Cobain. I have a feeling that the map we found may be related to the secret society's next actions, otherwise they can't pay such attention."
The two came to the communication base on St. Cathar Island, where Cobain and his team were processing various information. After seeing Lin Rui coming, Cobain stood up and said, "Captain Rick."
"Hello Keben, can you talk about it?" Lin Rui winked at him.
"Of course." Cobain nodded, "Come here." He took Lin Rui and Jiang An to a small meeting room and whispered, "Where did you get the last thing you sent?"
"A camp for terrorists." Jiang An replied, "Is there any information on that map?"
"A little eyebrow." Cobain opened the large LCD screen in the conference room and switched to map mode. "This is the map you sent last time. From the perspective of the map itself, the latest satellite image of the Sahel region, commonly known as the Sahel region, located between the Sahara Desert in northern Africa and the central Sudan grassland region. The drawing time should be in the most recent month. new."
"Can you determine when this map was drawn?" Lin Rui frowned.
"Yes, this is the result of cross-comparison. You know that in some rivers in Africa, the dry season and the rainy season are very different. There are some river tributaries that only appear in the rainy season when there is plenty of rainfall. There is no, and the situation is different from year to year. We can lock the drawing time of this map by cross-comparing the satellite map data obtained in recent years." Kobain explained.
"Terrorists don't have satellites they own, and if they flow in from other channels, they won't be so timely." Jiang An frowned.
"Yes, we have carefully analyzed this map. To draw such a sophisticated satellite map, at least multiple satellites are required to collect enough data at the same time. Through comparison, we found that the satellite used to draw this map is much higher than ours. In fact, this may be the best spy satellite today." Cobain explained.
"How come?" Jiang An was surprised.
"I found through investigation that these satellites are likely to come from a U.S. military project and have a high degree of confidentiality. Since the 1980s, the United States has begun to develop a new satellite system code-named Indigo. Project. It will use the most advanced radar equipment to realize all-weather reconnaissance day and night. Using computers to increase the radar signal and turn it into radar imaging, which may penetrate clouds and darkness, and may even develop the ability to penetrate buildings." Cobain said seriously.
"You mean these maps were drawn by secret spy satellites from the US military?" Lin Rui frowned.
"Yes. About ten years or so, the U.S. Air Force Vandenberg launch base once launched a series of spy satellites. This spy satellite is equipped with a variety of microwave remote sensing instruments and a visible light and infrared scanning radiometer. Aperture side-looking radar, altimeter radar, radar scatterometer, microwave radiometer, and visible light and infrared radiometer to implement large-area surveillance.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. A few months later, these spy satellites were abandoned due to a severe short-circuit in their power supply. All files of this project were classified as extremely secret by the US military and were completely sealed. So in theory, this map cannot exist, because the satellites that collected all the data on this map were all scrapped a few years ago. "Cobain replied.
"That is to say, this satellite image itself should not have appeared." Lin Rui frowned, "It was drawn by a series of abandoned spy satellites."
"Yes." Cobain replied. "Satellite maps are drawn based on satellite detection data, and when satellite data is transmitted, the serial number of the satellite itself is appended to the data information. Maybe you did not pay attention to it. There are a set of codes on the edge of the map. These codes are the satellite Serial numbers. Based on these serial numbers, we found out that this group of military spy satellites belonged to an abandoned military satellite surveillance program of the US military."
Jiang An frowned and said, "Could these satellites still be working, and being abandoned at that time was just a blinding trick."
"At least the US military has thought that these satellites have become space junk. But the existence of this picture shows that these satellites have not been scrapped, and some people are still using them." Cobain replied.
"It's the secret agency. They must have used some technical means to make the U.S. military think that these satellites were scrapped due to a short circuit in the power supply due to a design defect. In fact, after the U.S. military gave up, they secretly obtained the right to use these satellites." Lin Rui suddenly said. "Remember Aladdin? He used similar methods to take over the global mobile communications system Iridium network designed by Motorola."
"In other words, the secret agency currently controls a group of spy satellites that once belonged to the US military." Jiang An whispered.
"Then what do these locations and numbers on this map mean?" Lin Rui continued to ask Ke Ben.
"We are still investigating this. Judging from these locations on the map, there is nothing and nothing there. And the numbers marked are not coordinate locations, but more like some special code." Cobain shook his head. .
"Nothing? It seems unlikely." Lin Rui shook his head. "The secret agency solemnly used such a confidential satellite system to draw such a map. The location marked on it should be quite important. Nothing at all?"
"In fact, most of these locations are in the desert no man's land. There are no villages, no buildings, nothing." Cobain shook his head.
"If it doesn't mean anything, what is the significance of this map?" Jiang An frowned. "The secret agency uses such a confidential satellite system to draw this blueprint. Isn't it fun?"
Cobain smiled bitterly, "I also believe that there must be some significance in this, but we may not yet have the method to crack it."
