When Ahdi and Yusuf set off, Chen Xin was not on board.

The speed of the fishing boat is only six to seven knots, and it is not possible to encounter the guided missile cruiser "Vila Bay" until at least the early hours of the morning.Before that, he had more important things to do.

In the power distribution room of the Ahdi brigade headquarters building, Chen Xin was charging a portable metal box.

The metal box is not big, it looks only 40*30cm in size. Chen Xin knows that there are three coils (stator coils) wrapped around it to form a metal cylinder. The cylinder is full of high-energy explosives, stator coils and armature barrels. There is still a small space between them, and a row of super capacitors connected to the stator are installed by steel bars.

After this kind of bomb explodes, it can emit billions of watts of high-energy microwaves in an instant of one billionth of a second, which is equivalent to the electromagnetic waves emitted by nuclear explosions.It can penetrate underground fortifications, along the tunnels of cables and air conditioners, and paralyze all underground fortifications, power supply, telephone communication, television transmission, and computer systems, but it will not harm people's lives.

This is the legendary electromagnetic pulse bomb, and it is also the fourth-generation weapon of mass destruction that countries all over the world are striving to develop.

EMP bombs came to people's attention relatively late, but the concept of EMP weapons has been around for a long time.

In 1958, the United States tested a hydrogen bomb with some strange results.The blast from the test blasted across the Pacific Ocean, knocking out streetlights for hundreds of kilometers in parts of Hawaii and knocking out radio equipment as far away as Australia.

This phenomenon has attracted the attention of researchers, and soon, researchers discovered that it was caused by the Compton effect.

In 1925, physicist Arthur Compton proposed that photons of electromagnetic energy could knock free electrons from atoms with lower atomic numbers.

Later, researchers discovered that photons in the shock's dense gamma rays can knock out large numbers of electrons, freeing them from oxygen and nitrogen atoms in the atmosphere.

Large numbers of electrons interact with the Earth's magnetic field, creating a constantly changing electrical current.This creates a strong magnetic field.The resulting electromagnetic pulse induces an electric current in the conductive material over a wide area.

During the Cold War, U.S. intelligence agencies worried that the Soviet Union would launch a nuclear bomb on the United States and detonate it 50 kilometers above the ground to achieve the same effect on a wider range.

For a modern society that is entering the information age, the deterrent significance of this weapon is even greater.

There have been rumors on the Internet that the United States has created a non-nuclear electromagnetic pulse weapon that can be used in actual combat.

However, after searching the relevant information, Chen Xin knew that the US HPM electromagnetic pulse bomb and the electromagnetic pulse bomb made by the steel are completely different things.

The electromagnetic pulse weapons made by the Americans are more like giant high-energy microwave ovens, which can generate a beam of high-intensity microwave energy.It is then mounted on a cruise missile to destroy ground targets from the air.

"Steel, how long will the charge last?"

Gang Bian said: "Old Dou, hurry up, there should be no problem in another three hours."

……

Gulf of Aden.

After nightfall, the guided missile cruiser "Vila Bay" turned on its high-power searchlights.It is convenient for the merchant fleet not far from it to identify the target.

Inside the bridge, Colonel Svicker was smoking a cigar, while checking the electronic chart, while calculating the time when the fleet arrived at the assembly point in the eastern Gulf of Aden.

At the end of this escort mission, the "Vila Bay" will end this phase of the escort operation and return to the Norfolk Naval Base in Virginia, the mainland United States, to rest and set sail for half a year.It is also time for him to go home and get together with his wife and daughter.

At this moment, a radar report sounded from the bridge: "Captain, a large number of light spots were found in the southeast direction. The speed is seven knots. The target is not big. It should belong to a small fishing boat and is heading west-northwest. If the direction does not change, it is expected to join us in five hours."

Colonel Svicker frowned. The merchant fleet was on the move. The pirates were unlikely to know their exact location. Now that the routes of the two sides overlapped, accidents were more likely.

The United Fleet couldn't come up with a good solution to the Somalis' practice of fishing and piracy, until they found conclusive evidence that they were pirates.Warships can't do anything at all, at most they can only drive them away from the merchant shipping route.

Colonel Svicker thought for a moment, then said, "Notify the helicopter crew to take off and see what those damned Somalis are doing?"

"understand!"

soon.A sh-60 Seahawk anti-submarine helicopter took off from the flight deck of the "Vila Bay" guided missile cruiser. Half an hour later, the helicopter sent the photos of the fishing boats sent back by the onboard infrared night vision device.

The shirtless Somali fishermen seemed curious about the helicopter overhead, waving and yelling at them, and some people gave them the middle finger.

Captain Downton, the pilot, cursed: "F*ck! The sea eagle called the eagle's nest, the sea eagle called the eagle's nest, and found a fleet of 22 fishing boats, two of which seemed to be trawlers, and I couldn't see what they wanted to do. "

"Haiying continues to monitor, Haiying continues to monitor!"

"understand!"

Half an hour later, the sh-60 helicopter, which found nothing, had to choose to return.

Inside the fishing boat, Ahdi wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, picked up the satellite phone that Chen Xin specially equipped for them, and said, "Boss, the US military helicopter has already left."

Chen Xin's voice came from the phone: "Listen to my command now, correct the course by xx degrees for xx seconds, and pay attention to maintain the course and speed."

"understand!"

……

Three hours later, the fishing fleet finally stopped in the waters twenty nautical miles away from the guided missile cruiser "Vila Bay". This news immediately attracted the great attention of Colonel Svicker.

"Captain, what should we do? Should we dispatch a helicopter to warn them?"

Navigator Lieutenant Colonel Maxim said.

Colonel Svirk sneered: "Don't worry about it, continue to follow the scheduled route, I don't believe it, they dare to hijack merchant ships under the noses of American warships."

Lieutenant Colonel Maxim nodded without speaking.

As the world's largest navy, the US Navy does have such confidence.

However, Svirk still ordered the shipboard helicopter to take off to keep a watchful eye on the gang who ate the bear's heart and leopard's guts.

……

In the fishing boat headquarters, Ahdi and Yusuf were sitting opposite each other, waiting for Chen Xin's further orders.Under the dim light, both of them could see the sweat on each other's body, and they didn't know whether it was from nervousness or heat.

Yusuf has not been on the front line for several years. Most of the time, his subordinates are responsible for hijacking the ship, and he is behind the scenes.

But now, he must regain this feeling.
