"Since it matches the previous information, doesn't it mean there is no problem?" Sergey said strangely.
"The problem is that there are no other islands around this tidal island except Lion Island. And this Lion Island, according to what Diddy said before, there are no pirates gathering there." Lin Rui whispered.
"That's because they are hiding on other islands far away. That tidal island is just a place where the pirates hide their goods." Sausage replied.
"Unlikely. These pirates make a living by looting. They may hide the property they robbed, but it cannot be placed too far away from their lair, because it is not safe at all for these pirates." Lin Rui shook his head.
"This makes sense." Scarface muttered, "They robbed the property, and they must put it in a relatively safe place. Although the tidal island is hidden, it always comes out of the water. But the factory said that their lair It should be nearby.¡±
"But if their lair is nearby, why not take the goods back and hide them on the tidal island." Sergey shook his head and said, "Isn't it the safest thing to bring back to your lair?"
"Unless they are inconvenient to carry." Lin Rui looked at the satellite map on the computer screen and enlarged the map more than ten times.
"What do you think this is?" Lin Rui suddenly pointed to a point on the map.
"It looks like a ship, but it looks a little bigger than the ship. The shape is not very similar. Maybe it is a rock out of the sea." Scarface frowned.
"Maybe it's not a reef or a ship." Lin Rui pondered, "Do you still remember that time in Russia? A sea base of the secret society was built on an offshore drilling platform.
Maybe this is not a ship, but a floating platform on the sea. "
"A floating platform at sea?" Sergey said in surprise.
An offshore floating platform refers to a platform that floats on the water and can bear a certain weight. It can be used as a floating dock to dock small and medium-sized boats.
It can also be used as an auxiliary tool to maintain or repair ships, boats and other water transportation tools; it can also help implement water work projects and build floating platforms to assist the operations of other mechanical equipment.
The team members looked at the satellite map again. The somewhat irregular shape might indeed be a floating platform built intentionally.
"It is indeed possible that it is an offshore floating platform, and it is most likely an offshore platform with a modular design and power. This kind of platform is usually used for offshore construction." Nightingale nodded.
"That's right. If these pirates use this offshore platform as their lair, no one will find them. Everyone will think that this is just an engineering work platform, and the ships docked next to it may also be engineering ships.
But in fact, they are just pirates. Acting openly and openly in front of everyone's eyes. Even veteran pirates like Diddy would not have thought that this group of people would hide themselves in this way. Lin Rui nodded.
"Yes, there are many benefits to this. This kind of offshore floating platform, also known as a floating island, has good wind and wave resistance. You can build residences on it, configure communication equipment, and with a little processing, it can become a good sea ??base.
And most of these floating platforms are powered, so they don¡¯t have to be fixed in one position. If the pirates realize that the sea area is unsafe in advance, they will control the entire platform to withdraw from that area. "Yelena nodded.
"No matter what, we still caught them. Using a floating platform as a base is concealed and safe enough. But they also have to be at sea. Since they are at sea, they cannot escape satellite reconnaissance." Lin Rui immediately contacted Cobain. Call, "Help me lock that area and keep an eye on that offshore platform."
"I'm thinking of ways to improve the resolution. Our satellite equipment can't accurately identify it. But I thought of another way" Cobain replied.
"What can we do?" Lin Rui asked.
"I know there is one department that has more advanced satellites. That is NASA, also known as the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. They have high-resolution reconnaissance satellites." Coburn replied.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration is an administrative agency of the U.S. federal government responsible for formulating and implementing the U.S. space program and conducting aeronautical and space science research.
Cobain whispered, "We can hack into their systems and call satellite data. Fortunately, we have a backdoor to the CIA's intelligence network.
This will give us advanced access to their servers. And the whole process is highly confidential. "
"Well done. Help me get the relevant data as soon as possible. I need the most detailed satellite data and satellite photos." Lin Rui nodded.
Ten minutes later, Cobain sent all the coordinate data and pictures. The satellite image this time was very large and detailed. After high-magnification magnification, Lin Rui and others were finally able to see the full picture of this floating platform on the sea.
This is an irregularly shaped offshore floating platform. In addition, there are several boats parked next to it, so the entire shape looks irregular.
In addition, the previous satellite recognition resolution was very low, just a blurry color block. Therefore, Lin Rui and others were not able to discover it at the first time.
However, after using NASA satellites for identification. Everything is clearly displayed in front of you. It was indeed a floating offshore platform, and it looked like some kind of working platform.
There are tall antennas standing on the platform, and there are many houses converted from shipping containers on the platform. Because this type of container can be spliced ??and fixed to each other, it helps to resist the wind and waves at sea.
"What do you think this is?" Sergey pointed to a location on the picture.
Lin Rui looked at it carefully, shook his head and said, "It looks like some kind of flag. Enlarge the picture and let Cobain check it carefully. What does this flag mean?"
"I should have seen this symbol on the flag, but I can't remember it at the moment. It may be the logo of a large company. In this case, passing ships will think that this platform is the property of a large company." Sausage replied.
After waiting for a moment, Cobain responded, "You found the flag and the emblem painted on it, I have found it.
I¡¯m afraid your actions will have to be temporarily suspended, because we can¡¯t afford to offend the emblem on this flag. "
"What's wrong?" Lin Rui asked. "Does it belong to another energy giant?"
"This time, it's really not an energy giant. It's Lockheed Martin, the world's largest manufacturer of fighter jets and missiles. They are ahead of General Motors, Pratt & Whitney, Boeing, and Lockheed Martin in terms of business methods, scale, status, and importance. Several others. And from a certain perspective, the U.S. government belongs to these companies," Cobain replied.
