Chapter 647: The Best

After everyone was in place, Chen Ziyan picked up the telescope and began searching for traces of the floating island, wanting to see the specific situation with his own eyes.

After all, no matter how detailed someone else's explanation is, it can't compare to seeing it yourself.

It was not difficult to find such an obvious target on the open sea, and soon Chen Ziyan saw the floating island.

Thanks to the fact that it is daytime now, I can see it more clearly than last time.

It was just as the captain said, the size of the floating island had obviously expanded. In addition to the original wooden boats, there were three more steel fishing boats.

Moreover, the three fishing boats are connected head to tail, forming a triangle and surrounding the floating island in the middle.

After discovering this, an idea immediately came to Chen Ziyan's mind, which was to do everything possible to prevent the floating island from approaching their ship.

The floating island that absorbed the modern fishing boats was not something their ship could withstand just a simple collision. Now that it had become this shape, wouldn't the lethality increase exponentially?

Just by looking at Chen Ziyan, he felt that the three corners of the floating island were definitely more powerful than ordinary ramming horns. If their ship was really hit by this thing, it would definitely not be able to withstand it.

But Chen Ziyan was troubled by what to do specifically. As the saying goes, a good cook cannot cook without rice. The floating island of the sea monkeys was different from their boat. There was probably a mysterious power in it, and it would be very difficult to restrict it.

Boom boom boom——

Just then, a series of artillery fire sounded from not far away, giving Chen Ziyan inspiration.

If you want to stop the floating island, you still have to rely on the cannons on the ship.

"Master, you have seen the current situation. Isn't it time to take out the goods that have been kept at the bottom of the box?" Chen Ziyan said to the captain as he quickly came to the artillery position.

"Master Chen, what do you mean?" There was a strange look in the captain's eyes, but his face was full of confusion, and he asked in a puzzled tone.

In fact, Chen Ziyan asked this question to test him. His main purpose was to temporarily modify the shells, and he asked this question just to lay the groundwork.

After all, there are great hidden dangers in rashly modifying artillery shells.

But the captain's reaction made him realize that perhaps he was right in asking the question, and the guy in front of him really did have some contraband.

After this thought flashed through his mind, Chen Ziyan changed his prepared words temporarily and said in a deep voice: "I just took a look at the floating island now. It is not as simple as being strengthened. If it is really hit, even if our ship does not sink, it will probably be seriously damaged. At that time, we will really be in a desperate situation."

In fact, this statement is a bit alarmist. If it was true before, but now after obtaining the information hidden in the leather, Chen Ziyan has mastered the second way out, but he has not found the entrance yet.

But the problem is that the captain didn't know, so after hearing what Chen Ziyan said, his brows immediately frowned.

He knew that Chen Ziyan's words might be exaggerated, but at the same time he was more aware that the probability of this happening was not low. Once they really fell into that situation, they would be really at the end of their rope.

Therefore, even if there is just a possibility, he cannot gamble, because he simply cannot afford to lose!

"I know what to do, Master Chen." He then whispered a few words to a sailor beside him. The two sides were so close that Chen Ziyan could hear clearly that the captain was asking this confidant to take out his secret weapon.

After a while, the sailor brought a box on a cart.

When the captain opened the box, he revealed the neatly stacked shells inside.

Chen Ziyan leaned over to take a look and found that the shells in the box looked the same as those used in current artillery, all of which were antique-level.

Perhaps seeing Chen Ziyan's confusion, the captain explained to him in a low voice: "Master Chen, you also know that we are active in the open sea all year round, and it is easy to encounter some conflicts, so I specially prepared a batch of special shells just in case. Don't look at these shells. They look inconspicuous, but they are definitely top-notch goods."

After saying this, the captain lowered his voice again and uttered five words in a weak voice: "High-explosive armor-piercing shells!"

Hey!
After hearing the name, Chen Ziyan subconsciously took a step back, and the look in his eyes when he looked at the captain also changed.

He had thought that the captain's secret weapon would be powerful, but he had never imagined it would be this powerful. This thing is standard equipment for tanks and howitzers, an absolute weapon of mass destruction. No wonder the captain didn't want to take it out before.

If the news got out, he would probably be invited to have tea with the coast guard before he even got ashore.

A fishing boat that can appear at the offshore dock has so many of these things hidden on it. What do you want to do as the captain?
If you are not taken care of, then the next step will be to convert the fishing boat into a cruiser and equip it with guard guns and cruise missiles?
Seeing Chen Ziyan's reaction, the captain smiled awkwardly: "It's because you are worried about insufficient firepower."

Chen Ziyan now understood that these high-explosive armor-piercing shells should have been prepared by the captain for pirates.

"I understand, I understand." What else could Chen Ziyan say? He didn't want to talk about it anymore, so he changed the subject naturally: "Master, since you have such a good thing, just use it. The sooner we can destroy the floating island, the sooner we can feel at ease."

Yes, Chen Ziyan's idea has changed. He has changed from restricting the approach of the floating island to directly destroying it.

These high-explosive armor-piercing shells gave him enough confidence. As long as half of them could hit the target, the floating island would no longer be able to make any waves!

Especially since these shells were made by the captain himself, the materials used are absolutely solid and will definitely achieve the effect he wants.

Not to mention the ancient wooden ship inside the floating island, even the fishing boats on the periphery would not be able to withstand the continuous bombardment of this thing.

"Yes, it is better to strike first." The captain naturally agreed with Chen Ziyan's proposal.

He immediately arranged for the gunner to replace the shells and used his treasured secret weapon.

Boom——

When a new round of shelling began, Chen Ziyan observed through a telescope and found that the effect was much stronger than before. One of the shells even blew up the hull of a fishing boat.

I can only say that the name High Explosive Armor-Piercing is absolutely correct!
But...where did the sea monkey go?
After watching for a while, Chen Ziyan discovered that despite such fierce bombardment, there was not even a shadow of sea monkeys on the floating island, which made him feel a little puzzled.

What he didn't know was that at this moment in the deep sea below them, the sea monkeys were hunting under the leadership of the Monkey King and had no idea what was happening on the sea surface.
