Chapter 18

An uninhabited island nearly 100 nautical miles south of the South Australia sea area.

It is far from major trade routes and ports, so few ships will visit this place where birds don't shit.

There is a sunken area on the island, which is surrounded by cliffs on both sides. As long as it is not a ship specially close to the island, it can't find a unique cave here. Nie Yun and the new sea wolf are hiding here at this time.

Nie Yun stood on a coral reef on the bank and looked at the new sea wolf lying in front of him.

Yes, Nie Yun's new car, the sea wolf, had not seen the sun for 24 hours. Before he could show his majestic body to the world, he hit the reef with honor

The mechanical insects are cleaning the reef inserted into the belly of the sea wolf, repairing the big hole and discharging the sea water.

"Alas, so you can't make a boat too rough! You have to march in the dark at night. You see, it really collapsed!" Nie Yun looked at the sea wolf with a strange look on his face.

Sea Wolf: "... (I want to go back and lie for hundreds of years...)

When boarding the new sea wolf, the sundries on the hull surface had been cleaned up, most areas were new, and the deck became bright.

A corner is also stacked with waste wood and all kinds of garbage collected by mechanical insects. This is their raw material warehouse.

Nie Yun nodded with satisfaction. He planned to repair and strengthen the sea wolf again, and then gradually replace it with mechanical insects to complete the mechanical transformation.

After all, although there are a lot of mechanical insects at present, it seems insignificant compared with the huge new sea wolf. I'm afraid even if the mechanical insects are filled in, even the keel can't be completely replaced.

At the same time, this will not occupy too many mechanical insects to build materials, which can fully liberate the work efficiency of mechanical insects.

Mechanical bug: "..." (evil capitalist!)

In addition to the constantly working mechanical insects on board, centered on the sea wolf, dense mechanical insects and spiders are distributed around this reef, cleaning the reefs on the seabed and collecting all available materials on the seabed.

Since the invention of the new exploration method of mechanical insect small spider, Nie Yun found that raw materials are no longer the main factor limiting the number of mechanical insects, and the resources on the seabed are far beyond everyone's imagination.

Countless years of human development and ocean trade have filled the whole ocean with artificial garbage and waste, but these things are beneficial raw materials for mechanical insects.

Now it is energy that restricts the development of mechanical insects.

After all, mechanical insects are not professional energy collectors. Even if they absorb solar energy, they can not guarantee 24-hour uninterrupted operation and self proliferation. Therefore, now, mechanical insects can only stop from time to time to restore energy.

Nie Yun is a little depressed. He is like a factory owner. It is clear that his factory can produce coveted profits all the time, but he can't let the workers work in three shifts. This cruel reality makes him very distressed.

Mechanical insect: "... (we want insect rights!)

This is only one of Nie Yun's troubles. In addition to the energy problem, the issue of confidentiality is also put on the desk.

In view of Nie Yun's firm belief in large size (fog ~), the sea wolf is bound to become larger and larger. Before, it was in the state of a small fishing boat. Naturally, there is no need to worry, but if it is nearly 100 meters in size, it is unlikely to attract attention. Moreover, there are ubiquitous satellites in the world.

If the current appearance of the new sea wolf is found, the headline on the front page of the news the next day must be "the ancient Spanish warship reappears in the world, suspected pirates haunt, and many countries go to destroy it!"

The secrets on the sea wolf are too amazing. Nie Yun must strengthen the confidentiality. He doesn't want to be caught and sliced.

To solve this problem, it is actually very simple - just have a base!

As long as there is a secret base, the daily work of mechanical insects will have a fixed place of production, and the efficiency can be greatly improved from guerrilla warfare to positional warfare.

If you need to come forward and let some mechanical insects assemble the old version of the sea wolf fishing boat, you can travel, so you don't have to be timid about many things.

In a word, it is an irresistible development trend to establish base areas and expand the group of mechanical Zerg! It is the inevitable choice of dark rubbing and obscene development!

At this time, Nie Yun ordered the mechanical insect to clean the surrounding reefs. In addition to cleaning the channel to facilitate the access of the sea wolf, he also wanted to try to establish a secret base here.

"Secret base or something, it sounds very exciting!" Nie Yun was a little excited.

Well, after all that, are you sure you're not for fun?!

"Gu ~" at this time, Nie Yun's stomach "rang again".

"Again... Alas! You work hard, and I'm not relaxed. How many times is this today..." Nie Yun was helpless.

With the increasing number of mechanical insects, the physical strength he needs to control mechanical insects is also rising, and solar energy can't make ends meet.

Fortunately, he has just found a magical way to recharge. Otherwise, I'm afraid the food crisis will be the biggest problem Nie Yun will face!

He went to a burning fire and kept adding the dry firewood collected by mechanical insects as fuel. Now it has been surrounded by silver mechanical insects. This is one of the energy supplement places for mechanical insects. Although the means are primitive, talking is better than nothing.

Seeing the boss coming, the mechanical insects made way. Without hesitation, Nie Yun stretched out his hand and directly probed into the burning flame.

A magical scene happened. The flame licked Nie Yun's palm, but Nie Yun didn't seem to feel it. He also showed a satisfied and comfortable look. The palm in the flame had silver light flow from time to time to transform all the heat energy and supplement Nie Yun's physical fitness.

This is a new skill accidentally discovered by Nie Yun. As for why a human can charge with heat energy, Nie Yun, who has not even studied biology, said that the probability of being able to solve this problem for a person at the primary school level is infinitely close to zero

"Now it's really more and more like a mechanical bug. People's sons are like Lao Tzu, but I'm like Lao Tzu. On the contrary! I don't know if I can drink gasoline, will it have the same effect?" Nie Yun felt his chin and thought.

But in the end, he shook his head and quickly threw the idea of completing the "standard action of self Immolation" out of his mind.
