After everyone was in place, Chen Ziyan picked up the telescope and began to search for traces of the floating island, wanting to see the specific situation with his own eyes.
After all, no matter how detailed others say it, it can't compare to taking a look at it yourself.
It was not difficult to find such an obvious target on the open sea. Soon Chen Ziyan saw the floating island.
Thanks to it being daytime, I can see it more clearly than last time.
Indeed, just as the captain said, the size of the floating island has significantly expanded, and there are three more steel fishing boats outside the original wooden boats.
Moreover, these three fishing boats are connected end to end, forming a triangle and surrounding the floating island.
After discovering this, Chen Ziyan immediately had an idea in his mind, that is, to find ways to prevent the floating island from approaching their ship.
The floating island after absorbing the modern fishing boat was no longer able to withstand a simple impact from their ship. Now that it was in this shape, wouldn't the lethality be increased exponentially?
Just looking at Chen Ziyan, he felt that the three corners of the floating island were definitely more powerful than the ordinary collision angles. If they were hit by this thing, their ship would definitely not be able to withstand it.
But what to do specifically made Chen Ziyan a little confused. As the saying goes, it's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. Sea Monkey's floating island is different from their ship. There are 80% mysterious power in it. It is very difficult to limit it.

Boom boom boom——
At this moment, a series of gunfire sounded not far away, which brought inspiration to Chen Ziyan.
If you want to stop the floating island, you still have to rely on these cannons on the ship.
"Master, you have seen what is going on now. Is it time to take out the goods from the bottom of the box?" Chen Ziyan said to the captain as he quickly came to the artillery position.
"Mr. Chen, how do you say this?" A strange look flashed in the captain's eyes, but his face was full of doubts, and he asked in a puzzled tone.
In fact, Chen Ziyan asked this as a test. His main purpose was to temporarily modify the cannonball, and he just wanted to set the stage for this.
After all, the hidden dangers of rashly modifying artillery shells are also very high.
But the captain's reaction made him realize that perhaps he was not wrong in asking the question. The guy in front of him really had hidden something private.
After this thought flashed through his mind, Chen Ziyan temporarily changed his prepared words and said in a deep voice: "I just took a look at the current floating island. It is not as simple as being enhanced. If it is really hit,
Even if our ship doesn't sink, it will probably be seriously damaged, and then we will really be in dire straits."
In fact, this is a bit alarmist. If it was true before, but now after getting the information hidden in the leather, Chen Ziyan has mastered the second way to leave, but he has not found the entrance yet.
But the problem is that the captain doesn't know, so after hearing what Chen Ziyan said, his brows immediately wrinkled.
He knew that Chen Ziyan's words might be exaggerated, but at the same time he knew better that the probability of this possibility was not low. Once they really fell into that situation, they would really be at the end of their rope.
So even if it's just possible, he can't bet because he simply can't afford to lose!
"I understand what to do, Mr. Chen." Then he whispered a few words to a sailor beside him.
The distance between the two parties was so close that Chen Ziyan could clearly hear that the captain asked this confidant to take out his secret weapon.
After a while, the sailor brought a box on a trolley.
After the captain opened the box, he revealed the neatly arranged cannonballs inside.
Chen Ziyan took a closer look and found that the cannonballs in the box looked the same as those used in today's artillery. They were all antiques.
Perhaps seeing Chen Ziyan's confusion, the captain explained to him in a low voice: "Mr. Chen, you also know that we are active in the sea all year round, and it is easy to encounter some conflicts, so I specially prepared a batch of special shells.
Just in case, although these shells may not look like much, they are definitely good products."
After saying this, the captain lowered his voice again and spat out five words: "High-explosive armor-piercing bomb!"
grass!
After hearing the name, Chen Ziyan subconsciously took a step back, and his eyes changed when he looked at the captain.
He had thought that the captain's secret weapon would be very powerful, but he never thought it would be so powerful. This thing is standard equipment for tanks and howitzers, and is 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 tea by the coast guard before he even landed ashore.
A fishing boat that can be seen at offshore docks has so many of these things hidden on it. What do you, the captain, want to do?
If you don't care about this, then the next step is to change the fishing boat into a cruiser and get a guard gun and cruise missiles.
Seeing Chen Ziyan's reaction, the captain smiled sarcastically: "Isn't this because he is afraid of insufficient firepower?"
Chen Ziyan also understood at this moment that these high-explosive armor-piercing bombs should have been prepared by the captain for pirates and the like.
"Understood, understood." What else could Chen Ziyan say to this? He didn't want to talk about it anymore, so he naturally changed the topic: "Master, since there is such a good thing, just use it and give the floating island to him as soon as possible.
If we get rid of it, we can feel at ease sooner."
Yes, Chen Ziyan's mind changed, from restricting the approach to the floating island to directly destroying it.
These high-explosive armor-piercing shells gave him enough confidence. As long as half of them hit, the floating island would never be able to make waves again!
Especially these cannonballs were made by the captain himself. The materials used are definitely solid enough and they will definitely achieve the effect he wants.
Not to mention the ancient wooden ships inside the floating island, even the fishing boats on the periphery can never withstand the continuous bombardment of this thing.
"Yes, strike first to gain the upper hand." The captain naturally agreed with Chen Ziyan's suggestion.
He immediately arranged for the gunner to change the shells and use his treasured secret weapon.
Boom——
After a new round of shelling began, Chen Ziyan held up his telescope to observe and found that the effect was not even a little stronger than before. One of the shells even exploded the hull of a fishing boat.
All I can say is that the name High Explosive Armor Penetration is absolutely right!
It’s just...where did the sea monkey go?
After watching for a while, Chen Ziyan found that despite such a violent bombardment, there was not even a shadow of the sea monkey on the floating island, which made him feel a little puzzled.
What he didn't know was that in the deep sea below them, the sea monkeys were hunting under the leadership of the Monkey King, and they had no idea what was going on on the sea surface.
