Chapter 538: Poor Shark

"Alright, ready to go!" Chen Jianliang shouted.

Here, too, he was tired of it. If it weren't for the treasures below, I wouldn't have been able to help but want to leave a long time ago. The harvest this time is too huge, and he thinks that after going back, he can rest for a long time.

"I have to thank Zheng He!" he sighed.

I have to say that Zheng He is a character, although he is just a eunuch, he has done things that no one has done for thousands of years.

"You may not believe it. A few days ago, Muzi specifically looked up Zheng He's information from the Internet, and was surprised to find that the eunuch was so awesome.

"What's wrong?"

"He was selected by the American magazine Geographic as one of the 100 people who have had the greatest influence and contribution to the world in the past 1,000 years, and only five of us in China were selected. ”

They are Zheng He, Kublai Khan, Mao Leader, Cao Xueqin, Zhu Xi, Fan Kuan, and the first is the navigator Zheng He.

Wei Hang knew Zheng He's exploits, and there was no surprise. He is almost the Columbus of China, who is Columbus? The guy who discovered the New World, if it weren't for this guy, maybe the United States would still be living a primitive life.

Few people know Zheng He's real name, in fact, he was not originally surnamed Zheng, but Ma Sanbao, and later the emperor gave him a name. In ancient times, this was the highest glory.

In addition to finding Emperor Jianwen, Zheng He also shouldered the mission of subduing the world and having a distant mind.

This can be roughly regarded as an old tradition in Chinese history, but any strong dynasty must have such some actions. For example, during the Han Dynasty, the Silk Road, which connected the east and west, and during the Tang Dynasty, many students from developing countries and underdeveloped countries came to China to learn advanced science, culture and technology. are all manifestations of this tradition.

"It's not surprising! Just look at the wreck below, it's enough to make him shine. Wei Hang said.

In ancient times, such a huge ship could be said to be even more exaggerated than today's aircraft carriers.

At the beginning, Zheng He's fleet directly took almost 30,000 people away. It is said that it is diplomatic trade, but in fact. When you see this data, it is very suspicious that you went out to find ballast to fight.

And Zheng He's greatest contribution is to go through ups and downs. He led a huge fleet to the Western Ocean seven times, promoting peaceful exchanges between the Ming Dynasty and Southeast Asia, India, Africa and other countries. And showed them what a strong, enlightened country is really like.

Now. A layer of haze began to fill the sky above Weihang's fleet, and the wind and waves began to slowly increase.

"Hurry up, it may be early. "No one can say for sure how strong the typhoon will be.

Don't look at Wei Hang's current fishing boat is as huge as a fortress, but if you are not careful, it will become like Zheng He's giant ship and sink to the bottom of the sea.

It took three hours to sail. Finally, the weather was clear again, and I walked out of the area affected by the typhoon.

They don't know. The original location of the salvage wreck set off waves nearly 20 meters high, and the powerful typhoon was enough to lift Weihang's fleet to the sky.

"It's okay, we left early, super typhoon, more than fifteen, it's terrifying. Daniel Zhang and others also received the latest report from the meteorological department.

If it's still there, it is estimated that it will not be able to go back.

"When the time comes, domestic experts will definitely come out again and say that it will happen once in a hundred years. ”

When everyone listened, they all smiled knowingly, and they had long been accustomed to the braggadocio level of a domestic expert, and they simply didn't make drafts. Those guys, in order to attract the attention of the audience, one said more exaggerated than the other, but there was no real material.

"Huh, what is that?" Fang Zhen suddenly shouted.

Ahead, several marine animals were rolling in pain, and the surrounding sea water was dyed red.

"Sharks, damn shark catchers. Gu Haichao was very angry, it was a basking shark, that is, the shark with the best shark fin.

"The second largest shark at the moment. Wei Hang said.

The largest is the whale shark, which has the word "whale", which shows that the size is not much smaller than that of whales.

"This is the guilt of Huaibi!" Yun Rulong sighed.

Originally, it was said that the sin of Huaibi was human, but now it is very suitable for those basking sharks. If it weren't for the world's best material for making shark fin, humans wouldn't be eyeing it.

"Nine Heavenly Wings are shark fins from these sharks?" Nine Heavenly Wings had heard about it for a long time, but Daniel Zhang and the others had not eaten it.

There are many kinds of shark fins, the highest level is Tianjiu wing, the others are: sea tiger, golden hook, spring wing, butterfly green, etc., and the second class is the spine wing.

There are two types of wings, whale shark wings and basking shark wings. The whale shark is the largest shark in the ocean, and the dorsal fin of the adult fish weighs about 10 catties, but its wing needles have a rough feeling to eat, and the teeth or tongue are scratched, and the gray taste is also heavy. The basking shark is the second largest shark in the ocean, and the dorsal and caudal fins are especially good.

"Shark fin is to blame. ”

Shark fin eating is a cultural phenomenon unique to Asia. Especially in China, it is located in the temperate zone with cold winter, frequent drought and flood disasters, and the inland area is far away from the ocean, so the food preservation technology is very developed, and drying is one of the most important methods. The intricacies and specializations of shark fin preparation and cooking are almost untouchable to amateurs, which justifies the high price of shark fin soup.

In terms of eating, our countrymen really need to be merciful.

Actually, shark fin is not as nutritious as it is rumored. Wei Hang also shook his head and smiled bitterly.

However, the psychological motivation of consumers to consume shark fin is mainly "to show personal taste or identity".

As everyone knows, sharks are at the top of the marine biological chain, and they eat a lot of other fish in their lives, and accumulate a lot of mercury and heavy metals in their bodies, so shark fins contain mercury and should not be eaten more.

"What now?"

Many people, big or small, cut off the dorsal fin, two pectoral fins and part of the caudal fin alive with a chainsaw on the deck, and then throw the bleeding shark back into the sea, because the cabin is not that big for shark meat.

Everyone knows that when shark fins are cut off, those sharks will slowly sink to the bottom of the sea, and there is only one way to die.

"It's so real and pathetic. Even if the whole strip is pulled back, it is not so cruel. Zhang Xueru couldn't bear to say.

The others were silent, in addition to the fact that the shark is too large and the average small fishing boat is easy to fill up, there is another reason why everyone throws away the whole shark. The price of shark meat is simply too cheap to be worth pulling back.

"Let's scoop it up!" Gu Haichao thought for a while.

There are only five tails, and he plans to get them back and do a taxidermy exhibition to warn more people to eat shark fin as little as possible! )
