"Uh, this distance, it's too embarrassing......"

In fact, Ma Zhe overestimated the firing range of ancient artillery, and compared with the range of artillery fire calculated in kilometers in modern times, ancient artillery was more of a medium-range combat weapon.

A few more shells were fired, and even seeing that there was no danger, he personally lit a fuse. In the process, a lot of duds were naturally found.

After the excitement passed, Ma Zhe began to think about how to deal with these shells.

Although he didn't think that he could rely on the firepower of such an ancient warship to cross the seas, he still needed the necessary self-preservation, what if he encountered pirates?

Well, even if the pirates are basically gone now, it is very exciting to pull them out and scare the children!

Armed fishing boats, it's exciting to think about!

As soon as this thought entered Ma Zhe's mind, he couldn't stop.

But with these ancient shells, not only is it dangerous, but he can't wash it away when he jumps into the Yellow River when he is discovered, and Huaguo's control over gunpowder is very strict.

Even if it's used to fry fish, it would have to open a lot of proofs. The mechanical bug is not omnipotent, at least it has no way to combine into consumable items such as gunpowder, and even Ma Zhe's pistol bullets are carried with him.

Could it be that you can only use solid bullets in the future? Although it has a certain power, it is completely artistic without an explosion! The excitement of shooting directly drops by half!

"By the way, I wonder if I can reassemble them after eating them?" An idea popped into Ma Zhe's mind.

"No matter, try it, little ones, give me this cannonball

Eat! Then a puff of smoke and the man ran away.

The mechanical insect carried out Ma Zhe's order without fear of death, and the iron shell of the outer layer quickly disappeared in the "rustle" gnawing sound, revealing the black powder inside, and the mechanical insect continued to eat, and after a while, it was eaten cleanly.

Ma Zhe looked at it from a distance, there was no, and he quickly ran back to take a look, and was immediately happy, only to see that the mechanical insect that had eaten the gunpowder was black and fluttering, like a lump of black mud, although it was a little ugly, but it did not explode.

Ma Zhe tried to ignite a handful of mechanical bugs, but they didn't explode!

The flames only burned quietly on the surface of the mechanical insects, and the flames of this temperature were obviously only charging them, not to mention harming the mechanical insects. After being completely burned, the mechanical insect reverted to its glittering silver form.

"Regroup!" Ma Zhe then ordered.

The mechanical bugs quickly reassembled into a silver-white cannonball, which looked the same as the previous one except for the color.

Ma Zhe took this cannonball and fired a test shot, and then was pleasantly surprised to find that not only the range had increased, but even the power of the explosion had increased.

However, at this time, a new problem arose, after the cannonball composed of mechanical insects exploded, although the mechanical insects that were the shells of the cannonballs did nothing in the explosion, they turned into silver-white balls and rolled back to join the large army.

But this way is okay here, if after the launch outside, the mechanical bugs are all recovered in this way, then wouldn't it be clear to tell others that there is a T-1000 here?

After thinking about it, he found another ***, this time instead of letting the mechanical worm directly digest the iron shell, but decomposing it into iron filings.

Let the black mud mechanical insect roll on the iron filings, and then change rapidly, turning into a black *** again, and the original black mud mechanical insect will retire and become the original ecological mechanical insect again. After the test firing, sure enough, the effect was still the same, and Ma Zhe completed the feat of building a cannon!

"Haha! The children are powerful enough, so you don't have to worry about carrying ammunition, as long as the raw materials are enough, this seat can be turned into an arsenal anytime and anywhere! Ha ha! ”

Ma Zhedang immediately turned all the shells into iron filings and black mud mechanical worms, and stored them in the bilge of the Return.

After solving a major hidden danger and even upgrading the Return to an armed fishing boat at any time, Ma Zhe's next visit did not show any surprises or shocks, but it took Ma Zhe a little effort to clean up the large number of skeleton remains in the cabin.

Ma Zhe eventually cremated the skeletons and threw them into the sea.

"Dust to dust, dust to dust, may your souls rest in peace! Whether you did evil or good in your lifetime, may your souls find their way home! Ma Zhe's face was serious, and he bowed deeply to the sea.

"The important thing is not to stay, hurry up and go back to your own home, find your own mother, we will not change the green mountains, the green water will flow for a long time, and there will be no time in the future!"

Well, this guy is actually furious when he sees so many bones, and wants these ghosts to hurry to the Western Heaven Elysium.

"Fortunately, I have enough brothers, otherwise I wouldn't have been scared to death when I slept at night!" Ma Zhe patted his chest.

In addition to the mechanical insects that cannot be defined, there is only one living person in the whole ship, Ma Zhe, empty like a ghost ship, although Ma Zhe's courage is not small, but he is still a little worried!

"Gotta find a way to add some popularity to the ship!" Ma Zhe held his chin and considered how to make himself a more dignified captain of the bare-pole ship.

…………

Two more days passed, and during this time, Ma Zhe basically plunged into the base construction plan, except for going to the waters of South Australia at night to collect some raw materials, the rest of the time was spent on the construction of the base.

The mechanical bugs have cleared a route, and the entry and exit of the Return is no longer a problem.

In addition, the number of mechanical insects has doubled, but the energy problem is getting worse, and the energy that burning wood can now provide is a drop in the bucket compared to the huge number of mechanical insects.

Just when Ma Zhe was worried, Chu Xiaoxiao's call came.

"Hey, Ma Zhe, I entrusted the auction house to sell your silver coins, the auction price is 13.5 million, after deducting transaction fees and income tax, you finally got 11.53 million!"

Chu Xiaoxiao's first sentence made Ma Zhe eager to hug her and kiss her, and he would become a multimillionaire? Happiness came too quickly, too suddenly, and I didn't even have time to remember the bittersweet.

However, the money came too easily, which made Ma Zhe feel a little unreal.

"Also, I also found the ship you wanted, our group recently plans to enter the ocean trade industry in a big way, so we have acquired several companies and need to deal with a number of sea vessels, one of which happens to meet your requirements, I let the accountant calculate it and sell it to you for 9.85 million!"

Ma Zhe was stunned for a moment, and then his face fell, according to Chu Xiaoxiao's speed of speech just now, he seemed to have only been a multimillionaire for 5 seconds......

"So, with the remaining 1.68 million, you give me a bank account number, and I'll give you the rest of the money." Chu Xiaoxiao didn't know the ups and downs in Ma Zhe's heart, and continued.

"Oh......" Ma Zhe replied weakly, and then his heart moved.

"Xiaoxiao, you don't have to call me for the money, I just need something, you helped me buy it and put it on the ship, and I'll go over and receive it together when the time comes."

"Oh, okay, say, what do you need?" Chu Xiaoxiao agreed very happily.

"Well, I want a batch of energy supply equipment, preferably clean and pollution-free, you know, I'm an environmentalist!"

"Well, what kind of energy do you need?" Chu Xiaoxiao automatically ignored the environmentalists.

"Is there nuclear energy?" Ma Zhe asked tentatively.

The greatest fisherman must have a nuclear-powered fishing boat!

Chu Xiaoxiao: "......"
