"A meteor hammer that weighs three tons?" On the other end of the phone, Zhang Xueyang's tone was exaggerated. "Brother Chen, what do you want that thing for?"
"Of course I have my reasons. One of my ship's anchors was lost, and I felt that replacing it with a meteor hammer would look cool. You see, other ships all have the same anchors that look like sickles, but if my ship got a meteor hammer anchor..."
"Damn, what a nasty idea, but I like it a lot!"
There are only some young people in the world who take things seriously because taking matters lightly is the nature of most. When Zhang Xueyang heard that Chen Fan wanted to use a meteor hammer as an anchor, he was immediately in high spirits. "Brother Chen, it's actually very easy to make a meteor hammer that weighs three tons. In fact, my dad's company has an electric arc furnace that is specially used in casting. Three tons of molten iron can be produced by smelting and if you don't need it to be of high quality, I could get it done in a day."
"Just the normal one will do as it's not used in machine bearings. By the way, you don't have to cast an iron handle but just use an iron chain, like a necklace, about 20 meters thick...about as thick as an arm."
"This is very simple! I will go over to the factory now and ask the workers to make the mold and start casting. I'm sure it would be done soon."
"Okay, give me an estimated price and when it is ready, just load it directly into the car and I'll ask Wang Bing to collect it."
"Isn't this a little offensive? I owe you a great debt for helping me and I still don't know how to repay you. If I am collecting your money for just a few tons of molten iron, that would make me, Zhang Xueyang, a person who doesn't have the sense of justice!"
"Haha, okay then, we'll connect again over the phone tomorrow!" Chen Fan was too lazy to treat him formally. Chen Fan liked to be proper with women, but he did not have that same tendency with men. When the goods were ready he will ask Wang Bing to pay him 20,000 RMB.
Hanging up the phone, Chen Fan shifted his consciousness to the electric eel and continued to follow the Vietnamese fishing boat.
............
The efficiency of a specialized factory was very high. At more than eight o'clock in the evening when Chen Fan was surveilling the fishing boat that was trawling overnight, Zhang Xueyang called him and said that the meteor hammer was done and it was just then being quenched in salt water.
As soon as Chen Fan heard this, he hurriedly called Wang Bing, who was still having a great time and asked him to pay 20,000 RMB for the goods from his own money. Then, he asked Wang Bing to drive overnight on the coast highway to Hainan province.
The distance from Zhongyun city to Sanya, Hainan is about 2000 kilometers. Wang Bing drove a NAVECO truck at a speed of 110 kilometers per hour managed to reach Sanya city in 20 hours.
Upon reaching Sanya city, Wang Bing did not even bother to sleep. After buying something to eat, he rented a motorboat from Yulin harbor and sailed at top speed to Paracel islands with the meteor hammer that weighed three tons on board.
After five to six hours at sea, Wang Bing finally arrived at Zhongjian island at about seven o'clock in the evening.
"Hello, boss? I'm at the Zhongjian island that you mentioned, but why don't I see any big ships around here?"
"Oh…" Chen Fan gave a long yawn, and said with sleepy eyes, "Just throw it into the sea!"
"What? Boss, you can't be serious! I haven't slept for more than a day and all you are asking me to do now is to just throw this weird 'anchor' into the sea?"
"What are you fussing about? Just do as I say. When you get back to the Zhongyun city, come and get twenty... two.... Erm... "
Chen Fan hesitated and said, "...10,000 RMB as your reward."
"Hehe...okay then." Wang Bing scratched his head with a smile and thought. I'm only asked to throw an iron ball, not a female corpse! As long he was being paid, why should he care so much?
The moment he hung up the phone, he went to the side of the deck and picked up the four meters long solid iron bar. Then, he used the lever principle to push the meteor hammer into the water.
Plump!
After a big splash, Wang Bing was soaking wet.
"Damn, this really wakes me up!" Spitting out some sea water, Wang Bing sailed away without looking back.
.........
Ten minutes later, Chen Fan who was hiding nearby, controlled the electric eel avatar to swim over. All he saw was a meteor hammer that was the size of a water tank that had a lot of black spikes attached to its surface. It was connected to a pair of thick, long, iron chains that were ten meters long and were lying on the sandy seabed.
"Haha… I'm about to send this group of rascals to heaven!" Looking at the giant meteor hammer, Chen Fan's heart was filled with excitement!
Since the last time Chen Fan smashed up Wei Qing's gambling ship with an anchor, he had been very excited for a long time. He liked the feeling of metals smashing against each other, not to mention that he will be using a specialized weapon this time. The targeted ship was also more prestigious than the previous one, plus, it was definitely much more fun smashing up a foreigner's ship than smashing up a local ship, right?
After letting out a few bubbles filled with hydrogen gas, Chen Fan controlled the electric eel to pick up the meteor hammer that was lying on the seabed with its front claws and immediately swam towards the south.
He had been surveilling the fishing boat for nearly two days, so Chen Fan was quite sure that if he didn't smash up the boat, his blood vessels would explode due to his uneasiness.
After swimming towards the fishing ship, which a distance of more than 1000 meters south, Chen Fan examined the meteor hammer and scrutinized the ship to find a place to start!
After swimming around at the bottom of the ship, Chen fan decided to target the tail of the fishing ship. He planned to crack open the iron sheet and after the water had filled up the engine room, Chen Fan could just smash wherever he liked.
Smashing up an iron diesel tank with a strong swing of the meteor hammer that weighed three kilograms was not a problem at all for a grown-up man, but what if it was a 50 meters long electric eel that was a little shorter than the ship that swung the meteor hammer that weighed about three tons?
Aiming at the targeted spot, Chen Fan controlled the electric eel to wrap its thick claws twice around the iron chains, positioned it under the ship and started to swing its tail and spin its body around.
One round, two rounds, three, four...
The head of the meteor hammer that weighed three tons slowly built up its terrifying speed that was precisely in accordance with Newton's first law which was also known as the law of inertia.
When Chen Fan started to feel dizzy after so many spins, he controlled the electric eel to release its grip.
Boom!
Chen Fan felt like as though someone had put firecrackers next to the electric eel's ear as the 80 meters long fishing boat shook violently. It was as though it was hit by a very strong man-made explosive that caused a great shaking sound.
Heaving greatly, the electric eel's front claws gripped the iron chain tightly and pulled it out.
Screech! Screech!
The screeching sound that was heard from the damaged area of the boat was even higher pitched than the sound of a train slamming on the tracks.
The captain who was having a smoke in the operating room was being pressed against the ceiling and fell right back onto the metal floor with a bang.
"Ouch, f**k... What is going on..." The captain who was clutching his buttocks rolled on the floor and cried out. His cries were even worse than a pig being slaughtered.
Ring... ring.....
Security alarms went off, letting out a loud siren sound while a red light flashed on the screen of the control room that indicated the position of the diesel engine room.
"Captain...Captain, are we being torpedoed?" The co-captain dashed into the control room and hugged the captain that was lying on the ground. Both of them shook violently.
Boom...
Within twenty seconds, another tremendous sound was heard and the screen in the control room that indicated the central part of the ship turned red.
"Ah..." The two men in the control room, climbed out of the hatch in tears, grabbed the lifebuoy that hung on the wall outside and put it over their necks immediately.
... Boom... Boom... Boom...
Within two minutes, the screen that indicated the entire bottom part of the boat turned red, blinked on and off for five seconds and displayed a static image.
"Help me..."
"I don't want to die..."
"Oh my god, we're dying..."
The seven or eight men who gathered on the deck fell on their knees and cried in despair.
There were four big holes at the bottom of the ship, and each of them had a diameter of at least two or three meters.
Rumble….Rumble…..Rumble….
This ship that was 180 meters long was sinking at an alarming rate. The seven or eight people jumped into the sea in despair. Because they sailed for so many years, they knew that if they jumped into the sea after the ship had sunk completely, it would be useless. Even if they had ten lifebuoys, they would be sucked into the whirlpool alive.
"This is just so cool!"
Chen Fan who was hiding nearby couldn't get more excited while looking at the 'monkeys' in the water. There were two completely different feelings after smashing up your country's ship and a foreign one. He felt as if he was being swept by a wave of guiltiness for smashing up his country's ship, but now he was even more ecstatic than the first time he watched a porn video.
Looking at the men that were struggling in the sea, Chen Fan tried to refrain himself from biting them to death. Instead, he swam to a seabed that was a few nautical miles away and slept on top of the meteor hammer.

"Mr. Wang, where is the Vietnamese boat that you mentioned? I have scanned it on radar in the control room for half a day, but there were no signs of a big ship in the vicinity of 15 nautical miles."
"This area has the largest number of fish in the entire Paracel islands, so by right, the Vietnamese monkeys would not go too far."
On a large trawler ship that was over 150 meters in length, Mr. Wang, who was attacked the day before by the Vietnamese water guns, was standing on the deck next to a rich man who was about 30 years old.
"Ah"
"Brother Zhou, look, there seems to be someone in the water!"
"Eh, it seems so!"
The rich man looked toward that direction, grabbed his intercom and said, "Liu, steer the rudder left by 20 degrees immediately. It looks like someone had fallen overboard."
"... Ah..."
After some rustling noises at the other end of the intercom and after a few breaths, the large fishing boat began to move slowly to the left.
The ten sailors who were on the deck started to get busy as they bustled around to look for ropes and ladders.
"Help me... "
"fhkjkl%&#@... "
"Save…..me…. "
The people on the deck could hear cries being shouted at the top of their voices.
"Damn, they're speaking in Vietnamese!" The rich man had a different expression suddenly and he listened carefully for a moment. Then, he burst into laughter. "It's the Vietnamese rascals, it's the Vietnamese 'monkeys'!"
"Everybody, the Vietnamese 'monkeys' are drowning!" The man shouted at the top of his voice and pointed at them. "Come and see the 'monkeys' playing in the water!"
"Brother Zhou, I know these guys. They are the 'monkeys' that I told you about who shot us with water guns!"
The guy who was shot by the water guns last time had a wonderful expression on his face. "Where is their ship? I remember that the ship had a brand new coat of paint, which means it was a new boat or it was just being repaired. If that's the case, why don't I see it now?"
"Haha… haha… It must be because these 'monkeys' do not have a map of the area, so their ship knocked into a coral reef!" The rich man burst into a series of laughter. "This is great brothers, hurry up shoot them with our water guns!"
As soon he finished his sentence, he reached for his waistband.
