    After Silver Wolf sat down, he nodded to Lin Rui, "After I received your news, I immediately arranged for someone to inquire. Only then did I find out that the offshore platform is indeed owned by Lockheed Martin."

    Brooks nodded and said, "Although this offshore platform is owned by our company, it is actually a facility that was stolen from us near the Red Sea several months ago."

    "Red Sea?" Lin Rui frowned.

    "This kind of offshore floating island facility is a temporary offshore facility that we specially designed for some military agencies. It is used to establish small sea bases or temporary observation posts." Brooks replied.

    ¡°Strictly speaking, this floating island facility is used for offshore construction. Our company has multiple sets of such equipment. But just a few months ago, one of the equipment suddenly disappeared.

    At that time, we thought that a storm at sea might have pushed it to an unknown place.  People were also sent to search for it, but the positioning equipment installed on the floating island was obviously damaged.

    We were unable to accurately track this floating island, so it was determined to be an accident caused by bad weather.  ¡± Brooks replied.

    "So, this offshore platform was stolen by pirates." Lin Rui frowned.

    "It can be said that. But there is something very strange about this matter. That is how this offshore platform disappeared in the Indian Ocean and suddenly appeared in the Atlantic Ocean a few months later. This is equivalent to spanning the entire African continent.

    You must know that the value of this floating island facility is relatively large.  But after all, it is not high-end technical equipment.  It's hard to imagine someone going to such trouble to steal it.  Brooks sighed.

    Silver Wolf interfaced, ¡°So after I mentioned this, Mr. Brooks was shocked.

    Lockheed Martin has always taken security issues very seriously.  You also know that for companies like them, the most important thing is safety.

    So their company immediately appointed Mr. Brooks to follow up and investigate the matter.  "

    Lin Rui was silent for a while, "In other words, this is an ordinary offshore construction platform."

    "Yes, it is a very ordinary offshore construction platform." Brooks nodded.

    "This group of pirates came from the waters of Somalia. They have seen many similar offshore operating platforms. Especially in the sea area where they are located, from the border area of ??the Middle East and Africa.

    There are many similar drilling platforms on the sea, used for oil extraction and exploration.  Why do they want to steal your offshore platform?  Lin Rui asked back.

    Brooks said without changing his expression, "This is exactly what the company entrusted me to investigate."

    "Okay. It doesn't matter if you don't want to tell the truth. But I can tell you one thing clearly. Those pirates killed our people. We have to rush over now to eliminate them. But in this process, I can't guarantee your  There was little damage to the offshore platform.

    Since you said that offshore platform is just an ordinary offshore construction platform.  It shouldn't be worth much, even if it's destroyed, it won't matter.

    ¡°With Lockheed Martin¡¯s financial resources, losing this offshore platform is as inconsequential as throwing away a used disposable tea cup.  Lin Rui looked at Brooks and said.

    Brooks was stunned. He turned to look at Silver Wolf Michelle in embarrassment.

    Silver Wolf Michelle shrugged and said, "I have already said that no one can hide your rhetoric like this. My people are not fools, so they should also know how to keep it secret.

    So, you¡¯d better tell them the truth.  "

    Brooks shook his head helplessly, "Well, if you want to know the truth, it doesn't hurt to tell you. I don't necessarily want to deceive you. But in fact, the fewer people who know about this matter, the better."

    Lin Rui nodded, "I'm listening, sir."

    "Well, that offshore platform is actually a reconnaissance facility. It is no different from a general construction platform.

    Quite advanced instruments are installed on it, radar to be precise.  Have you heard of the Aegis system?  asked Brooks.

    "It's famous, like thunder. The Yankees' signature defense system." Lin Rui nodded.

    Brooks explained, ¡°The Aegis Combat System Aegis Combat System, officially numbered weaponsystemmk7, is the world¡¯s first fully digital ship-based combat system.

    It is also the first system in the U.S. Navy with decision-making assistance functions. It is the most important integrated surface ship combat system in active service in the U.S. Navy.  But at its core is the radar system.

     The most important and conspicuous Aegis combat system is the anspy-1 passive electronic phased array radar. This set of radars has four pieces in a hexagonal shape, which are installed in the four directions of the ship's superstructure.

    Because the radar itself does not rotate, it completely uses the method of changing the beam phase to scan the airspace targets in front of the radar at a rate of several times per second.

    But this system is quite large, and we have made a series of improvements in an attempt to make it smaller.  However, the cost of miniaturizing the Aegis system was too high and was finally abandoned. It was not until 2000 that the system was successfully miniaturized.

    ? The system that originally required ships of more than 8,000 tons to be installed has been equipped on ships of 5,000 tons, so it has been adopted by more countries.

    And what is equipped on that platform is the smallest experimental model currently.  So this offshore floating platform is quite important to us.  "

    "How could such an important thing be installed on a floating platform at sea? And how could it suddenly disappear?" Lin Rui asked strangely.

    ¡°There are several reasons for this, because when ships go to sea, they actually consume a lot of money. Offshore platforms can stay in a certain sea area for a long time, which facilitates long-distance monitoring.

    And this facility is now highly automated and does not require many people to operate it, so in the eyes of many people, this is just an ordinary offshore facility.

    We are actually testing this system. You should also know the current war situation in Yemen. We are using the radar of this system to conduct some key data tests.

    But there were some problems during the process. We encountered a pretty big storm that day when we were recovering the floating island.  We found that the signal from the floating island suddenly disappeared.

    We never found it again over the next few months.  It never occurred to us that a group of pirates would steal this floating platform.  "Brooks said helplessly.

    "I understand, so this offshore platform is actually a mobile radar station. The war in Yemen was going on before, and missiles were flying around every three days. And you are using this mobile radar station disguised as a general civilian facility to conduct data testing  .

    Maybe we are still providing some assistance to your allies.  "Lin Rui nodded.
