Hello, Mr. Major General

Chapter 1093 - Mother Nature’s Uncanny Workmanship 5

1093 Mother Nature“s Uncanny Workmanship 5

Strong electromagnetic interference had not only besieged our soldiers, but also blocked our navigation channels?

What Gu Nianzhi had said at the end was something the military had never thought about.

They glanced at each other and silently added it to their mental list of Japanese grievances against them.

Song Jinning ignored Gu Nianzhi’s insinuations, as her attention was completely absorbed by the strong electromagnetic interference frequency that she saw appearing on the instrument.

“Nianzhi, clear the field. We can start to work.” Song Jinning buried her head in the data records and really started treating Gu Nianzhi as her assistant.

Gu Nianzhi was so desperate to help anyway, and she hurriedly said to several officers in the room, “You guys go out and warn the others. We will try to conduct countermeasures against the electromagnetic interference.”

The officers said, “We tried them all before, but none of them worked at all.”

Gu Nianzhi looked at Song Jinning, but Song Jinning’s eyes were completely fixed on the instrument’s monitor screen, and she seemed to have no intention of answering. Gu Nianzhi had to turn around and smile with an apology. “If we are successful this time, Director Song will teach you guys how to counter electromagnetic interference.”

These officers understood what Gu Nianzhi meant and left the room. A few people pushed out the door and went to the deck to be on watch. Song Jinning heard the sound of the door closing and frowned, then said to Gu Nianzhi, “When did Japan become so specialized in electromagnetic interference?”

Gu Nianzhi didn’t know how to answer.

However, Song Jinning answered her own question and continued, “No, I don’t think this level of electromagnetic interference is something the Japanese are capable of at this stage.” Song Jinning shook her head and began to perform a variety of data analyses on the keyboard.

Gu Nianzhi watched her for a while, and although she couldn’t grasp what Song Jinning was doing, she could see that the data numbers were really high. She whispered into Song Jinning’s ear, “The electromagnetic interference might not necessarily be the work of the Japanese. You know, the United States has a garrison in Japan. I think their station is not far from here.”

Song Jinning replied, “Oh, that makes more sense. I was thinking that if Japan had such electromagnetic interference technology, they would’ve defeated us a long time ago, so why would they need to send so many of their elite special forces soldiers just to protect someone as insignificant as Hong Kangquan?”

It seemed that General Ji really had told Song Jinning everything. Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips, yet tactfully refrained from further commenting and quietly waited for Song Jinning to analyze the electromagnetic interference data. Only after determining the intensity could anti-interference be performed according to the frequency.

Gu Nianzhi was bored. She turned on the computer next to her and attempted to use the signal from the Nandou Communication Satellite to access the internet and locate the US military base stationed in Japan. However, the Nandou Communication Satellite system’s signal could not be located at all, probably since the electromagnetic shielding was simply too strong.

Gu Nianzhi had to give up surfing the internet for the moment and again turned to watch Song Jinning working on the instrument. She asked quietly, “Ms. Song, what can I do for you?”

Song Jinning did not look up and was downloading some complicated calculation data to her flash drive as she said, “Help me with calculating this data.”

Gu Nianzhi took the flash drive, inserted it into her laptop, and looked at the data. She quickly wrote a small program for calculation, entered the data, then the program started to calculate by itself. After less than three minutes, the results came out. Gu Nianzhi showed Song Jinning the results from the calculation. “Ms. Song, do you think this is correct?”

“So fast?” Song Jinning was surprised. In the laboratory, she had also used the computer to calculate, but it had taken 15 to 20 minutes to complete the calculation.

After Gu Nianzhi returned the flash drive, Song Jinning opened it on her computer and looked at it. Her eyes gleamed, and she was deeply impressed. “Nianzhi, you really figured it out in three minutes!” With Nianzhi’s help, Song Jinning felt much more productive.

Countless bits of data were quickly analyzed and restored on her instrument, and step by step they analyzed the electromagnetic interference the other party had imposed on them. The most effective way to counter electromagnetic interference was to fight them by turning their own weapons against them. However, you had to know what “model” and what “material” the opponent’s weapons were made of. That was the most difficult part of the whole anti-electromagnetic interference process.

At that point, it was safe to say that none of the existing instruments and algorithms in All Blue Star had the ability to effectively analyze the strong electromagnetic interference that the Japanese were currently using. Unfortunately, they had Song Jinning as their nemesis. The strong electromagnetic interference at the moment was only a little weaker than the interference Song Jinning had encountered on Huo Shaoheng’s personal aircraft.

However, at that time, they had been on an airplane. It couldn’t reach the sky, yet it couldn’t land, either. Also, they had to locate the source of an electromagnetic interference with much greater difficulty and intensity in a much more compromising situation.

Yet this time at sea, Song Jinning found the situation and circumstances much more easy to cope with and easily identified the source of the strong electromagnetic interference they were experiencing now.

“The source of the strong electromagnetic interference is at this position: 126.110081 degrees east longitude and 31.650807 degrees north latitude,” Song Jinning said with a serious expression and pointed to a coordinate on the locator. “Give this data to the Navy and let them target that fixed point and clear the source.”

As soon as the other party’s strong electromagnetic interference source was cleared, Song Jinning planned on quickly launching their strong electromagnetic interference and taking the other party by surprise.

Gu Nianzhi happily agreed to her plan and went out to find the officers who had just been in the room moments before. The officers were scattered around the deck in several concealed hiding places in the rear compartment where they did covert surveillance. Gu Nianzhi remembered that the highest-ranked among them was the colonel, and after finding him she said, “This is the coordinate position of the strong electromagnetic interference source that Director Song found. Can you clear it at a fixed point?”

The colonel looked at the data and frowned. “This data looks familiar to me...”

Gu Nianzhi was speechless. So they had once located the source of the strong electromagnetic interference?! Then how come they returned without success?!

The colonel took out his e-notepad, tapped it a few times, pulled up the data, and said, “I remember now. This is the last location where we had contact with General Huo.”

Gu Nianzhi tensed up inside and thought, “The Japanese are too cunning!” What an ingenuous way to cause them trouble! The Japanese were probably confident they couldn’t deal with this kind of strong electromagnetic interference, so they deliberately installed it somewhere not far from Huo Shaoheng.

Even if there was a 1-in-10,000 chance that they could locate the source of electromagnetic interference, since the source was so close to Huo Shaoheng and the others, they would be forced to refrain from taking action for fear of hurting them, and hence wouldn’t be able to freely perform fixed-point elimination.

Gu Nianzhi looked at the coordinate data in the hands of the Navy colonel, then looked at the data in her own hands and couldn’t help but ask, “I remember that you guys sent drones there previously. Why didn’t you guys eliminate the threat then? With such strong electromagnetic interference, even the drones would have been affected by the interference and would have had trouble aiming at their target, right?”

The Navy colonel laughed bitterly. “At that time we were fortunate enough to catch the Japanese off guard with our drones, but we really didn’t have time to use strong electromagnetic interference. Later, only after we withdrew the drones did the Japanese install their strong electromagnetic interference.”

“So, not only were they attempting to block General Huo’s communication line and cause trouble for the incoming ships, but they were also using it as a countermeasure against our drones!” Gu Nianzhi said in realization, “They really are killing three birds with one stone! I underestimated them.”

The colonel smiled awkwardly. He only wanted to counteract the electromagnetic interference, then get into contact with Huo Shaoheng and save them. He never thought of the other aspects as comprehensively as Gu Nianzhi did.

The Japanese had always regarded the Huaxia Empire as their rival, and they had been anxious to destroy the Huaxia Empire every chance they got in the past, so no matter what damage they attempted to inflict upon the Huaxia Empire, Gu Nianzhi wasn’t surprised and remained unfazed.

This was a country that had never deeply reflected upon its own war crimes, so they didn’t have any room for doubt, and they had to be prepared for the worst. “Ok, what should I do?” Gu Nianzhi rubbed her fist. “Would you like me to go for you instead? Give me a diving suit, and I can swim to wherever that is...”

“Of course not!” The colonel was startled and looked at her bizarrely. “Why do you want to go? Don’t you know that the other party consists of the most elite frogmen in the Japanese Marine Corps, and there are more than a hundred SAT special task force men as well? These people are highly trained!”

Gu Nianzhi was momentarily speechless. “Can’t I just try?” Gu Nianzhi’s eyes flickered. “How long have our soldiers been besieged?”

The colonel looked at his watch. “It’s been almost six hours.”

Gu Nianzhi’s heart grew heavy, and she asked anxiously, “Why haven’t you issued an order yet? Let me go, then. I’m a fast swimmer! And I’m smart...”

“Miss Gu, why are you so eager to risk your life?” The colonel suddenly became suspicious of Gu Nianzhi’s intentions. After all, rarely did people volunteer things, especially their lives, without demanding something in return. In this colonel’s eyes, Gu Nianzhi’s current position was merely Song Jinning’s assistant. Did she really need such enthusiasm, so much so that she was willing to risk going into the water herself in order to save them?!

“I am doing this for General Huo!” Gu Nianzhi hurriedly defended herself to the colonel as if reading his mind.

The colonel narrowed his eyes and asked her with suspicion, “I understand why Director Song is personally participating in the rescue operation. After all, General Huo is her son, but what about you? What is General Huo’s personal relation to you?”
