Chapter 671: Chapter 292: Dolphin Torpedoes Chapter 671: Chapter 292: Dolphin Torpedoes Near Dream Island Waters, the Electronic Battleship, camouflaged among the Transport Ships, had been observing the activity on Dream Island with its High-Tech Equipment and sending real-time data back to the United Fleet. However, the Electronic Battleship's surveillance found no activity on Dream Island, as if they were completely unaware of the approaching United Fleet.
The purpose of this Electronic Battleship was to infiltrate Dream Island Waters and conduct Electronic Warfare against Dream Island while under surveillance–specifically, using Equipment to invade Dream Island's Internet, plunging the island into chaos and preventing the enemy from organizing an effective counterattack. At the same time, by using High-Power Interference Equipment to cause Electromagnetic Interference, they aimed to cut off the flow of information on Dream Island, destroying any potential for a counterattack, making Dream Island vulnerable to unresisted attacks.
However, after Dream Island proactively issued an invitation to eliminate bandits, the United Fleet, realizing they could achieve their goals without going to war, immediately put the Electronic Battleship on standby, avoiding any electronic attacks that could be counterproductive. But when they noticed a nearby Russian Battleship also heading towards Dream Island, and at an ever-increasing speed, they suspected that Dream Island had made contact with the Russian Battleship and invited it to enter. Therefore, the United Fleet decided to activate the Electronic Battleship, block all of Dream Island's external communication channels, and prevent any capacity for external contact that might complicate their own operations.
Upon receiving the order from the Command Room of the United Fleet, the Electronic Battleship began warming up its Equipment while the Technicians prepared to launch a full-scale Electronic Warfare attack on Dream Island. It was then that a missile suddenly appeared from the western horizon, skimming the Sea Surface at high speed and striking the Electronic Battleship just below the Waterline before anyone could detect it. In a violent explosion, the Electronic Battleship was blown to smithereens, and the wreckage quickly sank, without a single person escaping from the ship.
The sudden explosion shocked the neighboring Dream Transport Ships, which were cruising by. They rapidly increased their speed, desperate to get away from the dangerous area. Just as they were ready to leave the Dream Island Waters, they received an order from Dream Island to hold their position and await further commands, steadying them enough to not leave the area but to distance themselves from where the Electronic Battleship had sunk.
Several large screens filled the Command Room of the United Fleet, displaying images from different battlefields, including the sea area where the Electronic Battleship was located, which they were monitoring, so they saw the entire incident of the explosion and sinking of the Electronic Battleship. The commanding officers from three countries were dumbfounded because, from their perspective, it was impossible to see how the Electronic Battleship had sunk.
Had the Electronic Battleship self-destructed? But there was no weaponry on board the Electronic Battleship to cause such a large explosion. Or was it an attack by a Torpedo from beneath the sea? If it was a Torpedo attack, the power of the torpedo was excessively large; a single strike managed to completely obliterate a two-thousand-ton Warship…
The Technicians of the United Fleet incessantly replayed the satellite footage from Outer Space, even analyzing the video frame by frame. Only then, from an inconspicuous angle, did they spot an image of a missile flying low over the sea. Due to the heavy reflection of sunlight on the sea and the fact that the missile seemed to possess some form of optical camouflage, it appeared intermittent and was hardly visible in the video. Upon discovering this flying missile, the United Fleet confirmed that their Electronic Battleship had been sunk by a missile strike.
Although the Electronic Battleship of the United Fleet only weighed around two thousand tons and appeared to be in poor condition, it was, in reality, a genuine, incredibly sturdy Warship. Yet it had been destroyed by a single missile. What kind of missile was this? Why was it so powerful? Who launched it? From where had it been fired?
Since the White Mist above had dissipated, every move on Dream Island was under the watchful eye of the United Fleet's satellites, even at this very moment, allowing them to clearly see any changes occurring on Dream Island. Yet no matter how much the United Fleet's Technicians searched, they could not find any suspicious buildings on Dream Island or any signs of missile launch sites. It was as though the missile had just appeared out of nowhere.
The United Fleet also considered the possibility that the missile had been launched from the sea. Apart from them, the only one capable of launching a missile in the area was the Russian Warship. However, the Russian Warship was still over six hundred kilometers from Dream Island and under constant surveillance; there was absolutely no sign of them firing anything, so it was impossible for the Russian Warship to have sunk their Electronic Battleship.
Another possibility was that the missile had been launched from a submarine beneath the sea. Yet the Submarine forces of the United Fleet had already advanced to a position 150 kilometers from Dream Island, and they had complete control over the sea area. They had not detected any submarine presence on the sea bottom, making it impossible for the missile to have been fired from there.
