An uninhabited island nearly 100 nautical miles south of the waters of South Australia.
It's far from the main trade routes and ports, so there are hardly any ships that come to visit this place.
There is a sunken area on the island, surrounded by cliffs and cliffs on both sides. As long as the boats do not deliberately approach the island, they will never find that there is a cave here. Nie Yun and the New Sea Wolf are hiding here at this time.
Nie Yun stood on a coral reef on the shore, holding his forehead and looking at the new Sea Wolf lying in the nest in front of him.
That's right, Nie Yun's new car, the Sea Wolf, has not had 24 hours to see the sun again, and before he has time to show his majestic body to the world, he has gloriously hit the rocks...
Mechanical bugs are clearing the reef that has sunk into the Seawolf's belly and patching up the hole again to drain the seawater.
"Oh, that's why you shouldn't be too turbulent when you're a boat! You're going to march in the dark. Look, it really collapsed!" Nie Yun blamed you for looking at the Sea Wolf.
Sea Wolf: "..." (I want to go back and lie down for hundreds of years...)
Boarding the new Sea Wolf, the debris on the surface of the hull has been cleaned up, most of the areas have a new look, and the deck has become radiant.
In a corner, there are also piles of waste wood and various 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 transformation of mechanical insects.
After all, although there are a lot of mechanical worms at present, they are a little insignificant compared to the huge new sea wolf. I am afraid that even if all the mechanical worms are filled in, even the keel cannot be completely replaced.
At the same time, doing so will not take up too many mechanical bugs to build substances, which can fully liberate the working efficiency of mechanical bugs.
Mechaworm: "..." (Damn capitalist!)
In addition to the mechanical insects that are constantly working on the ship, with the Sea Wolf as the center, a dense number of small spiders of mechanical insects are distributed around this reef, cleaning the reefs on the seabed, and at the same time collecting all available materials on the seabed.
Since the invention of the new exploration method of the mechanical insect 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-going trade have filled the entire ocean with man-made garbage and waste, but these things are beneficial and inexpensive raw materials for mechanical insects.
Now, it is the energy issue that restricts the development of mechanical insects.
After all, mechanical bugs are not professional energy collectors. Even if they absorb solar energy, they cannot guarantee uninterrupted operation and self-proliferation 24 hours a day, so now, mechanical bugs can only stop from time to time to restore energy.
Nie Yun was a little depressed, like a factory owner. Although his factory could produce coveted profits all the time, he couldn't make workers work three shifts. This cruel reality made him very distressed.
Mechanical bug: "..." (We want bug rights!)
And this is just one of Nie Yun's troubles. In addition to energy issues, confidentiality issues are also brought to the table.
In view of Nie Yun's extremely firm belief in large size (big fog~), the Sea Wolf is bound to get bigger and bigger. Before, as a small fishing boat, there is no need to worry, but if it is nearly 100 meters in size today, if you want to. It is unlikely that it is not noticeable, and the world has satellites everywhere.
If the current appearance of the new Sea Wolf is discovered, the headline on the front page of the news the next day must be "Ancient Spanish battleship reappears in the world, suspected pirates are haunted, and many countries are going to destroy it!"
The secrets on the Sea Wolf were too amazing. Nie Yun had to strengthen his secrecy work. He didn'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, then the work of the mechanical bugs on weekdays will have a fixed place of production. From guerrilla warfare to positional warfare, the efficiency can be greatly improved.
If you need to come forward, let some mechanical bugs assemble the old version of the sea wolf fishing boat to travel, so that you don't have to be afraid of many things.
In a word, the establishment of bases and the expansion of the mechanical insect population is an unstoppable development trend! It is an inevitable choice for dark and wretched development!
At this time, Nie Yun ordered the mechanical insects to clean up the surrounding reefs. In addition to clearing the waterway to facilitate the entry and exit of the Sea Wolf, he also wanted to try to establish a secret base here.
"Secret base or something, it's very emotional to hear it!" Nie Yun was a little excited.
Uh, with all that said, are you sure you're not doing it for fun? !
"Goo~" At this time, Nie Yun's stomach rang again.
"It's here again... Sigh! You guys are working hard, and I'm not taking it easy. This is the first time today..." Nie Yun was a little helpless.
As the number of mechanical worms continues to rise, the physical strength he needs to control the mechanical worms is also rising, and the solar energy is already beyond his means.
Fortunately, he has just discovered a magical charging method, otherwise the food crisis will be the biggest problem Nie Yun will face!
He walked to a pile of burning fires, and the dry wood collected by the mechanical insects kept adding it as fuel. Now it has been surrounded by silver-white mechanical insects. This is the energy of the mechanical insects. One of the supplementary places, although the means are somewhat primitive, it is better than nothing.
Seeing the boss coming, the mechanical bugs gave way, Nie Yun stretched out his hand without hesitation and plunged directly into the burning flame.
A magical scene happened. The flames licked Nie Yun's palm, but Nie Yun seemed to have no idea, and showed a satisfied and comfortable look. From time to time, the palm of the flame had silver light flowing, converting all the heat energy. Supplement Nie Yun's physical strength.

This is a new skill that Nie Yun discovered by accident. As for why he can use heat energy to charge himself as a human being, Nie Yun, who has never studied biology, said that the probability that this question can be answered by a person at the elementary school level is infinite. approaching zero...
"Now it's really more and more similar to the mechanical bug. Others are sons like Laozi, but I'm Laozi like sons, and vice versa! I don't know if I drink gasoline, will it have the same effect?" Nie Yun touched Chin thought.
But in the end, he still shook his head and quickly put this idea of completing the "standard action of self-immolation" out of his mind.
