After getting the gun, Zhao Jian made a little preparation, and hurriedly set off on the third day.

The time was very tight, and the French side demanded that they pay all the compensation by September, and in this matter, the Datang government did not stand up for them. The reason is that among the more than 300 victims in France, there are not only many local celebrities, but also Datang's own embassy staff in Paris, so they are also very annoyed, and they are already very restrained if they do not follow France to force debts.

It was the middle of July, and there was less than a month and a half left for Zhao Jian to raise money, and the only thing that could make him feel at ease was that according to the price of diamonds at that time, the 5 million francs were not very useful for many diamonds. If they can get a large piece of high-grade colored diamonds on this trip, they will not be able to make a lot of money because of it.

In order to be in a hurry, Zhao asked Qin Heng to charter a "fast freighter", because this kind of ship uses something called "divine core", so the speed at sea can reach an astonishing 65 knots, which is more than 5 times that of other conventional sea freighters! The cost of renting is certainly very expensive, but Zhao Jian can't care about it so much.

The so-called "god core" is a special crystal, one of the main relics left by ancient people, hard and extremely dense, 7 times denser than lead, and the constituent substance is still impossible to analyze.

Humans first discovered the correct use of the core of the Genshin in 1404 AD. At that time, Datang was developing a new type of ironclad ship called "Treasure Ship", which was supervised by Zheng He, the "Three Treasure Eunuchs". Not only was the tonnage of this warship huge, but the surface was covered with iron armor, even the deck, and the defense was the highest at that time.

One day Zheng He boarded the ship for inspection, the first ship as a whole has been basically completed, it just so happened that Zheng He had two pieces of magic cores that he usually used to practice his hands, but when he walked into the cabin, one of them accidentally fell out of his pocket, so the "miracle" happened!

The moment the hedron touched the ground, it emitted a dazzling light, and a halo of water waves covered and penetrated the entire ironclad ship. From the outside, the craftsmen of the shipyard saw that the surface of the treasure ship had been fused together with pieces of iron plates, and the rough surface had also turned into a delicate silver-gray color. Inside the cabin, the core of the primordial god turned into a gray-clothed and silver-haired girl, and spat out to Zheng He, who was sitting on the ground and was completely stunned.

"I ask you, are you my master?"

Feed...... Is there really nothing wrong with this strong sense of immediacy!?

By chance, Zheng He discovered the secret of the core of the original god, these spars are the control core left by the ancients, to use a more fashionable phrase, it is "master control AI". Stained with the light of the ancients, mankind entered the "Cosmic Age" hundreds of years ahead of schedule, and Zheng He's seven voyages to the Western Ocean also became the "Seven Upper Galaxy", opening the prelude to the "Great Cosmic Era...... ORZ！

At the request of Zhao Jian, 500 rifles were packed into a box of 5 rifles, then covered with a layer of baffles, and then a batch of old tea stored at home was put on the shop for camouflage. The tea is not enough, Zhao Jian asked people to mix the leaves of the tree into it, anyway, these teas are not going to be sold to anyone to drink, if they are bad, they will be bad, the key is that the 500 guns must not be discovered by the customs.

In addition to giving Zhao Jian these 500 rifles, Liang Guoxiong also gave him 30 boxes of ammunition, a total of 30,000 rounds, and then Zhao Jian himself purchased a batch of revolvers with good workmanship and appearance from civilian gun shops. In addition, he also bought himself two Colt M1911 bodies imported from the United States, which made him fall in love with this pair of treasures.

"I've wanted to do two of this for a long time, Datang can't help guns, this must be praised!"

Relying on Liang Guoxiong's relationship and "small meaning", Zhao's batch of goods successfully left the port and sailed to the ocean. Among the accompanying people, in addition to the 10 bodyguards sent by Liang Guoxiong, there were also some trusted cronies of the Zhao family, including the housekeeper Qin Heng and Wangcai, who was known for his solid eyes.

Qin Heng first heard Zhao Jian say that he was going to Africa in person, but he refused to agree, and it took Zhao Jian a long time to persuade the other party, but the old man put forward a condition, that is, he and Wangcai must also follow. The two of them came with him for nothing else, just to keep an eye on Zhao Jian at all times, lest he make any mistakes.

After the freighter left the port, Zhao Jian looked at Qingdao behind him and felt a little melancholy, but more excited!

This is the first time that Captain Zhao has gone abroad at such a big age, although it is not a good place, but it is also the first time, so it is very commemorative, and the speed of the high-speed freighter under his feet is about to catch up with the speedboat, which also makes him full of interest in the "divine core" left by the ancients.

"Uncle Qin, it should be no problem for me to visit the bridge, right?"

"Go ahead, don't cause trouble to others."

The Zhao ship, who was allowed, led Wangcai to the bridge with an inch of prosperity. Here he met the "Heavenly Maiden" of the Hengtong, or colloquially called the "Ship Niang". But unlike what I imagined, the other party turned out to be the Q version of the three-headed body! Hanging on the rudder like a ragdoll ornament, it sways around with the helmsman's control, and looks like it is having fun.

"Uh...... This little cute thing is also a goddess? ”

Seeing Zhao Jian's puzzled look, the captain who was over 50 years old explained to him with a smile.

"Don't underestimate our family's prosperity, she used to be a destroyer in space."

"And how did it get to a surface cargo ship now?"

"The ability is not enough! She used to be a first-generation destroyer, with a tonnage of more than 1,000, and now the destroyer tonnage is over 2,000, so she is a little powerless, so she retired as a surface high-speed freighter. ”

There is a difference between the abilities of the Divine Core, and not all of them can be perfectly assimilated with large ships. Just like Hengtong in front of him, if she wants to meet the standard of astronautics, then 1250 tons is her limit, but if she only strengthens the power system and hull, then she can assimilate a 1500-ton freighter, but the price is that the "incarnation" has shrunk into a three-headed cute thing, and at the same time, her IQ has also been reduced to the point where she can't speak.

"This little guy is only responsible for maintaining the existence of the power source, and the rest of the parts have to be controlled and maintained by the crew, so she has to worry about her sudden stop cooking, so she has not dared to drive too fast. But if we break out to the limit, we can reach a speed of 80 knots! ”

Zhao Jian reached out and touched Hengtong's little head, and the other party showed a very enjoyable expression like a cat, and he was very cute. With her help, the Hengtong successfully arrived at the destination of Zhao's trip - Tanga Port in Tanzania at a speed of 65 knots in only one week.

PS: The way of existence of the ship mother, I refer to the sea fog, there is a hull, and there is also the kind of girl!
