"Michael, you look at this latest satellite image, the Chinese seem to be preparing to build something on this island, but from the current point of view, I can't see what exactly will be built, this construction scale and investment is not, the Chinese must want to build a very important thing here."

The CIA's expert in the intelligence analysis of spy satellite imagery Daniel Brown. Borg, pointing to a high-definition image taken by a spy satellite to his partner Michael Borg. Jon asked.

On that map, it is clear that almost all of the islands off the coast of China have now been turned into a construction site in full swing.

According to the convention, the Chinese obviously will not carry out any industrial construction on this kind of projectile island, which is twenty or thirty kilometers away from the mainland, the transportation is not very convenient, and from industrial production, this island is too big to accommodate many people.

From an economic point of view, a normal entrepreneur will never choose such a place to start his business, unless the product is extremely special and requires a relatively closed environment.

In addition to this, another possibility is to build a new military base here.

However, this place does not seem to have much military potential, its location is not very special, it has a strategic role, its area is only more than three square kilometers large, and there are no military targets worthy of the attention of the PLA nearby, if the PLA really wants to build any military base, it is completely more convenient to choose to build it on the nearby mainland.

It is precisely because of this that Daniel finds it strange, if it is neither an industrial facility nor a military base, then what exactly do the Chinese want to do here with great fanfare?

Michael was analyzing other images, and when he heard Daniel say this, he turned his head and zoomed in on the big screen to enlarge the puzzled image of Daniel and take a closer look, and sure enough, on this small island in the East China Sea, there are now large construction machinery working everywhere.

The density of these shuttled large machinery has almost reached the limit of what the island can carry, which shows that the construction project on this island is not only large-scale, but also seems that the Chinese are also anxious about the completion of this project.

"It looks like this project has just started, and it is still in the period of earthwork such as leveling the land," Michael looked at for a while, and then called up some earlier pictures of the island taken by satellites some time ago, convinced that a few days ago it was just an extremely ordinary island, and this huge construction work has only recently been suddenly started.

"Let me see if there is any news on the network about this island project." Michael, who is fluent in Chinese, found the Chinese name of the island from the location information of the island and quickly entered it into the work computer next to him for information retrieval.

Michael saw the Chinese side of the island's ongoing construction information from a recent brief report by a Chinese media, "Oh, Daniel, according to Chinese reports, this is a space exploration research center invested by China's famous Al company, and they will invest heavily in building a super shè electric telescope on this island for space exploration." ”

Michael explained to Daniel in English as he watched, knowing that Daniel basically couldn't read Chinese, so he translated the report in full for Daniel in English.

After listening to Michael's explanation, "Super shè electric telescope? Daniel asked suspiciously, seeing that the island had almost become a big construction site, he always felt that something was wrong, "No, Michael, but as far as I know, the world's largest shè electric telescope is the Arecibo shè electric telescope built in Puerto Rico, USA, but it does not occupy such a large space, you must know how this island is two or three square kilometers, how big a shè electric telescope must be built, I think this is really incredible." ”

After a while of busy work on the computer, Daniel called up the satellite image of the Arecibo Electric Telescope, a giant with an antenna aperture of up to 305 meters, and Daniel scaled it to the same size as the satellite image of the Al Universe Exploration Center, and sure enough, it was less than one-tenth the size of the latter.

The shè electric telescope is not as big as it wants to build, Daniel still has some concepts about this thing, so Daniel judged that the Chinese on this island do not just want to build a shè electric telescope and its affiliated research center, but also to build some other things, in order to make such a large scale.

However, Daniel and Michael, who are now unable to see any clues from this early earthwork, prepared a full report reporting their findings, requesting that the island be listed as a highly suspicious object and that spy satellites keep tracking it.

In the following time, Michael and Daniel followed the progress of the island project every day, and with the gradual improvement of the island's infrastructure, Daniel and Michael's follow-up observation finally came to new results.

In the western part of the island, it does look very much like the foundation work of a large shè electric telescope, and a large circular area has been leveled out, which seems to be prepared for the shè electric telescope, and next to this circular area, the steel frame of a large span building has already begun, and it seems that this is a computing center for the shè electric telescope.

These all seem relatively normal, in line with the media reports, but in the eastern part of the island, the foundation of a large construction site that has been leveled out makes Daniel and Michael look very familiar.

"Michael, do you think this place looks like the foundation of a Lotus Reactor nuclear power plant?" Daniel looked at the satellite images, and then called up a comparison of the lotus pile project now built in Chinese mainland, and the outline of the two is almost identical.

"That's right, this must be what the foundation of the Lotus Reactor Nuclear Power Plant looks like, I thought they would build a wind power project to drive this space exploration center, who knew that they would build a nuclear power plant, these Chinese are really rich, let's take a look, this foundation area is compared with the Lotus Reactor Nuclear Power Plant they have built, it is estimated to see how much power it will have."

Michael compared a satellite image of a 2.4 million kilowatt Lotus nuclear power plant that had been built on the mainland.

"Won't it?" Looking at the almost overlapping of the two pictures, Michael and Daniel couldn't help but gasp, from the area of this foundation, it is estimated that a nuclear power plant of less than 2.4 million kilowatts will be built here.

"2.4 million kilowatts of nuclear power plant?!" Daniel said to himself a little distractedly, "My God, what do the Chinese want to do?" ”

Whether it is Daniel or Michael, at this moment it is certain that this is definitely not building a simple shè electric telescope-based space exploration center, because for the shè electric telescope, there is no need for such a powerful nuclear power plant output power, even if the Chinese want to build an all-round rotatable mobile large shè electric telescope, there will never be such a huge energy demand.

As for the electric telescope itself, it is only used to receive and distinguish electromagnetic signals from the universe, and does not need to send any information, so the related energy demand is not too large, even if it is necessary to build a supercomputer center on the island in order to analyze the electromagnetic signals from the depths of the universe, it will not require such a huge power supply.

According to Daniel's understanding, even the world's most powerful supercomputer will not have a maximum power demand of more than 30,000 kilowatts.

In other words, if this is really a space exploration center that uses the shè electric telescope to conduct space research, the maximum demand for electricity is 100,000 kilowatts.

Therefore, if it is really a simple space exploration center, the Chinese do not need to build such a huge nuclear power plant, and this nuclear power plant is built on the island, knowing that it will not export electricity to the outside world, but only use it on the island.

What kind of device needs to use so much energy? Daniel and Michael saw a deep sense of surprise in each other's eyes.

"The Chinese are testing electromagnetic weapons?" Daniel and Michael, as military intelligence experts, naturally had extraordinary insights, and they quickly came to the most likely conclusion from these clues, and the two men spoke almost in unison.

If the Chinese are building a secret military base on this island, then such a huge energy demand is most likely electromagnetic weapons, and only electromagnetic weapons have an almost endless energy demand.

"The core soul of Al Company is Dr. Duke, according to our intelligence, Dr. Duke is now deeply involved in weapons research, and has led the middle ** workers to achieve many heavyweight results. Michael, could it be that Dr. Duke also had a breakthrough in electromagnetic weapons that led them to start building this secret base for experimentation? ”

Daniel knows that in the arsenal of the US military, the research on electromagnetic weapons has been quite fruitful, among which the electromagnetic cannon and electromagnetic bomb shè are relatively mature, in principle, there is nothing mysterious about this electromagnetic weapon, and it is not uncommon if the Chinese side has a breakthrough in this regard.

"It's very likely, Daniel, I think we should report this speculation right away, and let the authorities verify this mysterious base and see what they're trying to do." In response to Daniel's speculation, Michael nodded in agreement.

Duke would never have imagined that the two analysts on the other side of the ocean, who were staying at home, were infinitely close to the truth of the truth through the analysis of some clues, although this truth was only in the process of being proposed, and even people around Cai Siqiang did not know it.
