The four-pointed star suddenly activated, which really alarmed the other two ships. The big black ship, in particular, immediately emitted a deafening humming sound.

"What's that sound?" Zhang Xiaohu stood in the cockpit of the four-pointed star and asked Peng Jiadong.

"I haven't heard of it, don't worry about him, the wind is in the southwest now, we will soon be able to reach a speed of five knots, and it will not be so easy for them to chase us!" Peng Jiadong controlled the rudder, and Meng Zhe and the others were all busy on the deck. The four-pointed star has a mainsail and a three-masted sail, and if you want to go to full speed, it takes 10-15 people to ensure that all the sails are working to the fullest, so everyone on the deck is very busy now, and the shouts are endless.

Zhang Xiaohu walked to the stern of the ship and saw that the Goddess had turned into a tiny black shadow at this time, but the big black ship landed diagonally behind the four-pointed star and followed unhurriedly.

"Lao Zhang, we have a small stone thrower on the ship, don't use two shots, scare the black ship, and let him stop chasing us." Zhao Zixuan walked to Zhang Xiaohu's side and suggested.

Zhang Xiaohu's eyes lit up and said, "We still have a stone thrower, why don't I know?" ”

"You're so busy every day, you haven't counted anything on this ship. That is, I took the trouble to count the weapons on the ship with Uncle Yan several times, a total of two stone throwers, and more than 20 projectiles that could be ignited. ”

"You're going to use that?" Zhang Xiaohu looked at Zhao Zixuan and asked.

Zhao Zixuan said with a smile: "I asked the people of the Wu family, and I have learned all the theories. I didn't have a chance to use it before, but this time it's different, and the black ship is my best target. ”

"I have an idea to stop the black ship from chasing us!" Zhang Xiaohu's eyes rolled, and he had already thought of a good idea.

He quickly ran to the cockpit and said to Peng Jiadong: "Uncle Peng, now you turn the boat and circle around the island!" Peng Jiadong was stunned: "Turning in circles? Aren't we running? Zhang Xiaohu smiled: "Of course we have to run, but now that we have this tail, it is not convenient to run." Peng Jiadong nodded as if he didn't understand, and said, "Okay, just listen to you!" ”

The boat suddenly made a sharp turn, turned its direction and headed for the island diagonally behind, and the black boat behind saw that the four-pointed star had changed direction, and actually sailed backwards, and immediately adjusted its direction and continued to follow.

Zhang Xiaohu said to Zhao Zixuan again: "Old Zhao, you prepare, one will shoot at the island and shoot all those projectiles, remember, the bigger the momentum, the better!" ”

"Shooting at the island? I heard you right! Which one are you singing? Zhao Zixuan asked.

"Why do you think the black ship follows us, but doesn't attack us? It's just that they can't figure out who we are and what we're going to do, so they have to follow us first, and once we find out that our real purpose is to escape, it proves that we are not their own people, they will definitely attack us, you see that ship, do you think that we are their opponents if we really fight? So we want to make them feel that we have a mission on our shoulders, and the best way I can think of at the moment is to bomb the island, so that they will definitely not be able to guess it, and maybe they will bomb the island with us! ”

Zhao Zixuan scratched his head and said, "I don't understand much, but I seem to understand a little." Forget it, I'd better go get the stone thrower ready. He left the deck and soon came back with a bunch of long poles with Master Wang.

Zhang Xiaohu saw that Zhao Zixuan installed these long poles on a round wooden platform at the stern of the ship, there are two of these wooden platforms, and one is in the bow of the ship, and there are seven round holes of different sizes on the wooden platform.

Zhao Zixuan went back and forth several times, and moved out a lot of things, and now there was no need to pursue the speed of the ship, Yan Cannon also called the people of the Wu family to come and help, and everyone quickly assembled a precision stone throwing machine. It is two and a half meters high, and there is a circular iron ring on the falling block in front of it, which is directly attached to the wooden platform below. The pendulum (i.e., the dispenser) at the rear is four or five meters long, like a spoon magnified countless times, and consists of four main pipes and twelve auxiliary tubes plus a container. The machine is loaded and launched by the built-in gears inside, and it does not require many people to operate it for a long time. In addition, there is a scale on the machine to measure the position of the target. The person who designed this machine is definitely a master mechanic.

On the side of the stone thrower, Zhao Zixuan also placed two barrels, one is a black wooden barrel, which is full of thick black oil after opening, and the other is a primary-colored wooden barrel, which emits a pungent smell of sulfur after opening, which should be filled with sulfur and other accelerants.

At this time, he was already approaching the southernmost tip of the dinosaur island, and Zhang Xiaohu shouted: "Lao Zhao, just shoot it!" ”

Zhao Zixuan held a strange iron ring, took out a projectile from the projectile box, drowned it in each of the two barrels, and put it on the container, Yan Cannon held a torch and lit the projectile, and Master Wang took a wooden mallet to hit the iron ring in front of the platform.

The hoop is struck by the mallet and detached from the wooden platform, driving the gears inside to quickly transmit the force to the pendulum behind it. With a "boom" sound, the flaming projectile whistled towards the peaks of the island.

Everyone watched as the projectile burst open on the sea surface eight or nine meters away from the island, and dozens of pieces of shrapnel with fire rushed into the seawater, stirring up layers of splashes.

"Haha, it's so enjoyable, it seems that my distance estimation is wrong, and the scale of the pendulum should be adjusted higher!" Zhao Zixuan said, very professionally operating on the stone thrower, the machine made the sound of "Caracalla", and the adjustment was quickly completed.

This time, the projectile was very accurately concentrated on the mountain peak at the southern end of the island, and suddenly the island was full of dust and smoke, and there was a fire.

Under Zhang Xiaohu's instructions, Zhao Zixuan excitedly fired seven or eight projectiles one after another, and the original mountain peak on the island ignited a sky-high fire.

The black ship in the rear saw the strange behavior of the four-pointed asterisk, and did not continue to follow, but let out another chirp and left on its own.

Zhang Xiaohu smiled slightly, it seemed that he had been estimated again, the black boat really thought that he had a task on his side, and finally stopped following him. He gave a quick order, and the mainsail of the four-pointed star adjusted its direction again and headed due east, because the island was obstructing, and the black ship could not see the direction of the four-pointed star at all.

After walking eastward for more than an hour, Zhang Xiaohu ordered the ship to sail south, changing directions several times in the middle of the way, until the sun went down, and he finally confirmed that no one would find them again. They were finally safe, and they no longer had to worry about Chenyi's threat.

Everyone had been tired all day and had not had a good meal, and now they finally had time to eat a good meal.

Zhang Xiaohu has more important things to deal with, the people of the Chishui tribe are still locked in the room, the four-pointed star continuously changes direction during the day, and more than a dozen projectiles are fired in the middle, and those people must have panicked in a day. If you don't explain it at this time, something may really happen.
