Chapter 486: Cannot Monitor the Long Country Region?!

"'Discoverer-11' satellite signal abnormal!" an operator reported in a panic, "It just entered the airspace above Long Country, and suddenly all sensor data became chaotic!"

"Specifics!"

"Optical imaging systems have all failed, transmitting only snowy noise! Infrared detectors have gone crazy too, the values are completely nonsensical! Radio telemetry data is severely interfered with, almost impossible to interpret!"

Hamilton's face changed drastically: "Check the satellite's own status! Has it been subjected to a physical attack?"

"Attitude control is normal, orbital parameters are unchanged, the power system is working normally... It looks like there is no problem with the satellite itself, it's just that all reconnaissance equipment cannot function properly!"

"This is impossible!" Hamilton roared, "Try the backup communication channel!"

The technical personnel quickly switched channels, but the result was still desperate: "All channels are under strong interference, unable to establish effective communication!"

The entire monitoring center was in chaos. Just a few minutes ago, their top-tier reconnaissance satellite was working perfectly fine, but now it had suddenly turned into a piece of scrap metal flying in space!

"Wait," a senior analyst suddenly spoke up, "When did the satellite start showing abnormalities?"

"The moment it flew over the east coast of Long Country."

"And then? Did it return to normal after flying out of Long Country's airspace?"

The operator quickly checked the data: "Indeed! After the satellite left Long Country's airspace, all systems returned to normal working status!"

The room fell into a dead silence.

"You mean..." Hamilton's voice trembled slightly, "Our satellites only fail when they are over Long Country's airspace?"

"Not only that," the analyst's expression was grave, "I just checked the status of other satellites. 'Discoverer-9' and 'Discoverer-10' also showed similar abnormalities when they passed over Long Country's airspace two hours ago, it's just that no one noticed this regional characteristic at the time!"

Cold sweat broke out on Hamilton's forehead: "This cannot be a coincidence... Contact the 'Cosmic Eye' satellite operators of Beijixiong Guo and see if they have encountered the same problem."

Ten minutes later, the answer came back—Beijixiong Guo's reconnaissance satellites also encountered comprehensive signal interference and equipment failure when flying over Long Country's airspace!

"My God," Hamilton muttered to himself, "That satellite they just launched... could it be some kind of jamming device?"

The analyst nodded: "This is the only reasonable explanation. Long Country has developed a technology capable of selectively jamming the work of satellites over specific areas, and it looks incredibly effective."

"Report to the Department of Defense and the President immediately!" Hamilton roared, "This is even more terrifying than the 'Sky Net' system! They can now not only intercept our Missiles, but also make our reconnaissance satellites 'blind' over their territory! This... this completely breaks the strategic balance!"

"Completely failed? Are you sure?" the Head of State asked in disbelief.

The head of the aerospace department, Solinov, nodded, his face ashen: "Yes, Comrade Head of State. As long as our satellites fly over Long Country's territory or adjacent waters, all reconnaissance equipment encounters strong interference and cannot obtain any effective intelligence."

"Is this interference comprehensive?" a general asked.

"Comprehensive and precise," Solinov replied, "Optical systems, infrared detectors, radio receivers... all failed. What's more terrifying is that this interference seems to be able to precisely target Long Country's territorial range; it only takes effect over that area, and once the satellite flies away, it returns to normal."

"How is this possible?" Kolbov asked in shock, "This kind of precisely controlled regional interference technology has not been achieved even in our most advanced laboratories!"

"The facts are right before our eyes," Solinov said bitterly, "The satellite Long Country just launched is very likely some kind of Advanced jamming device. Its orbital design allows it to cover the entirety of Long Country, and the interference effect is surprisingly good."

The Head of State's face became extremely gloomy: "This means that our space reconnaissance capability against Long Country has been completely lost. We can no longer monitor that mysterious project at Penglai Base from space."

"Not only that," Kolbov added, "If they continue to launch more of these satellites, they could theoretically expand the interference range, even covering any region they are interested in. This is an unprecedented information advantage."

The Head of State slammed the table: "What does Star-Spangled Country say? Have their satellites also been affected?"

"Yes, their situation is as bad as ours," the Intelligence Officer replied, "In fact, they have already proposed that they wish to hold emergency consultations with us regarding this matter."

The Head of State was silent for a moment, then made a decision: "Agree to the secret talks with Star-Spangled Country. At the same time, send more ground spies and undercover agents; spare no cost to obtain intelligence on Penglai Base. Since the Sky Eye is blinded, then rely on human infiltration!"

Two days later, senior Intelligence Officers from Star-Spangled Country and Beijixiong Guo met secretly in a hidden villa in Switzerland.

"The situation is even worse than we imagined," Brown, Deputy Director of the Central Intelligence Agency of Star-Spangled Country, said straight to the point, "Long Country's jamming satellite has completely paralyzed our space reconnaissance capability over their territory."

Petrov, Deputy Director of the Foreign Intelligence Service of Beijixiong Guo, nodded: "Our situation is the same. All satellites have become blind over Long Country's airspace. What is more worrying is that they are very likely to continue launching more of these satellites to expand the interference range."

"The most dangerous thing," Brown said seriously, "is that this 'information blackout' appeared almost simultaneously with the mysterious project at Penglai Base. They are clearly covering up some major military operations."

"According to our last batch of satellite photos," Petrov opened a folder, "those scattered construction sites at Penglai Base are building some kind of giant modular weapon system, along with nuclear facility construction. But what exactly it is, we can no longer confirm further."

Brown pondered for a moment: "What is the worst-case scenario?"

"Nuclear-powered aircraft carrier," Petrov said bluntly, "The size and shape of those modules have a certain similarity to the components of traditional aircraft carriers. Combined with the nuclear facilities they are building, it is very likely some kind of revolutionary design of a nuclear-powered warship."

"Combined with the 'Sky Net' system and satellite jamming technology..." Brown's face turned pale, "Long Country is building an all-around strategic advantage—missile defense, information shielding, and maritime deterrence."
