Chapter 350 - 325: Jumping Ship!

The visibility at sea is extremely limited, and GPS and radar are two commonly used means of positioning.

Relatively speaking, radar costs much more than GPS equipment and is also simpler to use; pirates generally prefer to use GPS for navigation—

as well as relying on the naked eye.

But this has led to many jokes, as Somali pirates have historically mistaken warships for merchant ships and attacked them repeatedly.

Wakanda’s escort ships couldn’t fire directly at Mei Country’s navy, nor could they defeat them, so the only viable plan was to maximize the combat effectiveness of Frank’s elite team, making leapfrog tactics the only choice.

They would need several speedboats to transport them near the enemy ships, but they would also need many decoys to confuse the judgment of the naval ships.

Those decoys were lost pirates!

[Skye: Boss, band scanning complete, we can start the interference.]

By scanning all signals in the area, classifying and filtering them, the channels of communication and the device communication bands are determined, which is the basis of wireless hacking.

Under Lille’s instructions, Wakanda’s ships began approaching the source of the signal, serving as a signal bridge over the sea.

The patrol boats were not powerful, and their electronic equipment was relatively outdated, but they were sufficient to handle pirates.

Meanwhile, Frank’s team embarked on the speedboats with communication devices, heading towards the military ships.

These devices would scan the communication signals present on the ocean during this period and hand them over to Skye for noise reduction, analysis, and processing.

This basic form of information warfare was completely ineffective against Mei Country’s navy but not against pirates.

Now they had the communication frequency of the pirates.

Not just the communication frequency, but also their commonly used navigation system... it was GPS.

[Lille: I’ll prepare the GPS spoofing, get ready to turn off the interference and send them false information.]

[Skye: GPS spoofing? That advanced?]

GPS spoofing, by forging GPS signals to provide false information to the receiver, the forger must be familiar with the structure and transmission mechanism of GPS signals, and forge the Doke Satellite signals.

This type of forgery is extremely difficult, and it must also ensure the synchronicity of time and the accuracy of location information. Thus, many hackers like to encrypt their file data using GPS signals.

Skye had seen this encryption method before on the hacker organization Tide’s forum.

Yet Lille intended to use Wakanda’s outdated information equipment to perform GPS spoofing!

[Lille: Learn a bit, I’ll forge the signal, and you handle the field.]

[Skye: Okay, boss. Can I try using my AI assistant?]

[Lille: Not this time. You can keep the data for training.]

Skye didn’t ask any more questions, as Lille’s first data packet had already been sent to her.

At the same time, Lille also conveyed instructions to Wakanda:

[Lille: Transmit the wrong information throughout the Somali Sea; I want all pirates to come here.]

[Su Rui: You’re using them as bait!]

[Lille: Yes, I’m using them as bait. But if they don’t serve as bait, it will just be another incident of another country’s navy firing in your waters without any mental strain.]

[Lille: They can do it once, they can do it a second time. If they keep doing such things countless times, the so-called maritime sovereignty becomes a joke.]

[Su Rui: But they are living people!]

[Lille: You’re right, but this isn’t something you should interfere with.]

[T’Chaka: Listen to him, Su Rui, I’ll handle the rest.]

Su Rui is T’Challa’s sister, technically a Princess.

The heir to the throne was still on the channel; it made no sense for her to interject.

And King T’Chaka’s attitude determined that T’Challa would lean towards what Lille said, which struck a chord with him:

The people of Mei Country can’t just use force unrestrictedly around their waters.

But all they could do previously was protest, but this time... maybe they could actually get their revenge.

Upon receiving T’Challa’s order, Su Rui closed her mouth online and began controlling all network devices near the Somali Sea.

In the Somali Sea, unaware pirates did not notice that their GPS positioning had momentarily drifted, quickly turning into a faulty map—

These pirates were directed by the fake map towards the combat zone, and as they got closer, their radios began to pick up noisy signals:

[That cargo ship is a gold carrier!]

...

[That cargo ship is a gold carrier!]

This phrase seemed to hold magic, sporadically appearing on the radio.

Due to Wakanda’s efforts, nearby pirates were all misled by false GPS information, and vessels were lured to this area, then heard this communication.

Over and over again, the magical words quickly came from their own mouths—

"Hurry up, hurry up! That’s fucking gold!"

The fierce pirates on the speedboats, clutching AKs and waving energetically, looked at their colleagues advancing alongside them, almost wishing they could kick them into the sea!

Bang!

The next second, a colleague was blown apart by a shell, and the entire boat sank into the ocean!

His face quickly turned pale: "Something’s off, this firepower is too strong! There are naval ships!"

Bang!

Another ship cannon blasted the water surface, sending water flying high, and the speedboat driver quickly turned the steering wheel, nearly capsizing!

Once the speedboat stabilized, this small leader saw even more speedboats appearing on the horizon, as reckless as they were minutes ago!

Shells fell again; some saw them, some didn’t, some flinched, while others, seeing more and more competitors, grew hopeful:

With so many people, it surely couldn’t hit me, right?

Wrong signals, tempting intelligence. The pirates, like sharks that smelled blood, swarmed around the Wakandan ships, making the legend of the "gold transport ship" increasingly real!

It was as if a truck had overturned, and once the bystanders had all taken their first step to scramble, it was hard for them to turn back!

Whoever grabbed something made a profit, whoever was late, lost big!

The machine guns and ship cannons fired simultaneously, but more and more pirates appeared from all directions, and the already disrupted radar occasionally missed some speedboats...

Buzz!

Speedboats cutting through the waves mingled with the pirates, Atlas operation snipers put on their helmets, clearly targeted the orientation of the ship’s weapons, and controlled the speedboats to charge from the blind spots—

The pirates were in chaos, some still charging, some wanting to flee, others already buried at sea...

And chaos was the best cover!

"Former Mei Country Marine Corps member attacking active Mei Country navy... quite interesting, feels like coming back for revenge," Frank clenched his fist, his Magnetic Gloves ready.

"This will be tomorrow’s headline: ’Mei Country naval ship cruises the Somali Sea, ends up being robbed by pirates!’"

"Hahaha! They’ll definitely think they’ve seen a ghost!"

"This fun is no small matter!"

The Atlas Group soldiers, dressed in exoskeletons, encouraged each other, their Prosthetic System starting to indicate a gradual increase in adrenaline—

Yes, they were nervous.

The tactics they were now executing had never appeared in modern combat examples—Marine Corps, attacking two frigates with infantry tactics!

The gigantic frigates appeared in their field of vision, the observer immediately spotted the iron soldiers firing at the edge of the deck:

"There are people on the deck... no, those are some kind of humanoid robots."

"Ignore them, we’ll be within range soon, get ready to jump aboard!"

The speedboat suddenly broke through the frigate’s firing range, the huge silhouette of the vessel became increasingly clear, its cold hull blocking out the sky—

The oppressive feeling humans have when facing a steel beast.

[NexusOS alert: Entering combat mode, power increased]

[Exoskeleton status is good.]

[Reaction enhancement mode initiated]

[3D maneuver gear preheated and ready to be activated]

Electrical currents, slightly stronger than bioelectricity, flowed from the brain-computer interface into the brain, down the spinal nerves, invigorating every cell and muscle it passed through.

The sound of the waves stretched slightly, every subtle noise becoming exceptionally clear.

The motor hummed lightly, power accumulating...

Waves slapped against the boat, the entire speedboat surged high along the waves—

"Jump!"

The exoskeletal legs extended rapidly, Frank leapt high, the warship growing ever closer in front of him!

The Spider Silk Emitter on his wrist shot out towards the bow of the frigate under high pressure, swinging him in an arc through the air—

Bang!

His legs touched down on the deck first, slightly bending to absorb the impact before his body continued to slide; his palms tightly adhered to the ship’s body!

Magnetic Suction Gloves secured his body, Frank felt an exhilarating sense of success from this aerial maneuver—

If he had fallen into the sea, it would have been much scarier than a fall between buildings!

[Frank: Report status.]

[Successfully attached.]

Two frigates, four sides of the ship, twenty-four special operation soldiers, all successfully clinging to the ship!

"Wuhu!" Kurt shouted excitedly, "This is more thrilling than chip training! We’re now on the Navy’s ship!

We’re freaking attacking the Mei Country navy!"

"You’re as excited as your compatriots, just don’t believe like them that this is the gold transport ship," Frank joked.

"That’s racist!"

Frank chuckled, gripping the Spider Silk and the ship’s body and began to climb upward—

The small jet turbines behind him activated slightly, his arms and legs working together, pulling him up a big leap along the Spider Silk!

This climbing speed wasn’t slow; the soldiers rapidly climbed the surface, gaining height.

Frank saw they could now peer over the side and see the iron soldiers beside the deck—

Suddenly, the iron soldiers halted their movements.

[Frank: They’ve spotted us! Blaster!]

[Ghana: Ready anytime!]

With the Spider Silk hooked onto his exoskeleton, Ghana raised his rocket launcher, and in his view, an iron soldier peeked out to look at him...

"Go to hell, rotten army."

He pulled the trigger, the rocket flew!

Boom!
