Inspired by these Dongying warriors, when Ji Yang decided to attack the Boundless Divine Palace, he also captured a group of slaves to use. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

He said to Jing Xiulian: "General Jing, revise the military merit system and increase the reward for capturing an enemy by fifty percent." Both the Tianxia Society and the Star Sect need a large number of laborers, and it is too cruel to persecute the compatriots in the Central Plains. ”

Jing Xiulian immediately agreed and said, "Okay, I'll give the order." ”

The original military merit system of the Tianxiahui mainly took money according to the head, and the reward was graded according to the level of martial arts. Therefore, the people of the world will destroy people if they disagree, and Ji Yang feels that this system is very bad.

After raising the bounty of the captives, I believe that there is no need to deliberately instruct, and the following will try to catch them alive.

There is an island chain between North Korea and Japan, and many whales inhabit the nearby waters. Many people in the world will go to sea for the first time, and when they see these behemoths spraying water on the surface of the sea, they shout and scream one by one.

"There is such a huge fish, could it be the rumored kun?" Jing Xiulian was also surprised.

"It's huge, indeed." Ji Yang had only raised a whale before, but the whales in this world were several times bigger. Hundred-meter-long whales can be seen everywhere, and a whale may weigh thousands of tons!

At first, many people were afraid of those behemoths and even wanted to get around them. But after observing for a while, everyone found that the fish was very docile, and would actively avoid their boats, and even swim quietly by them.

"This kind of fish is called a whale, and a whale is worth a lot of money, and when we get a foothold in Dongying, we can catch it to our heart's content." Ji Yang seemed to see a piece of gold, whale oil is a good thing.

The Central Plains people used oil lamps, sesame oil, soybean oil, rapeseed oil, etc., while Europeans and Americans used whale oil.

A whale can refine two tons of fish oil, whales are extremely important to Europe and the Americas, as skirt supports, women's corsets, sperm whale spices, essential fish oil, fish meat, until the first industrial revolution, whale oil is widely used in the lubrication of machinery and equipment, until now NASA still uses refined fish oil in spacecraft as a lubricant.

Blubleum is a very fatty animal oil. It not only contains a large amount of glycerin, which can be used in the processing of nitroglycerin and paper cigarettes in synthetic explosives, but also can be used to make soaps and refine high-grade lubricants. The lowest content of fatty acids in blubber is less than 2% and the highest is about 30%. The lighter the blubber, the higher the quality.

More than 40 tons of oil can be obtained from a 120-ton blue whale. This amount of fat is equivalent to the amount of lard taken from thousands of fat pigs.

There are many other uses for blubber. It can make candles and oil paints. It is also used in the steelmaking and tanning industries. Because whale oil does not change its viscosity at high temperatures, it is used as a lubricant for some precision instruments.

Sperm whale oil can be used to refine industrial oils and cetyl oils. Cetear oil is obtained from the head of a sperm whale. It has a high melting point and can be used both to make cosmetics and to process into candles.

At present, the shipbuilding industry in Dongying and North Korea is not very developed, and the whaling ability is not strong, so there are many whales in this area. In later generations, there were thousands of whals in Japan, not to mention that the marine species in this world are even more abundant.

"The whale is so big, can we catch it?" Jing Xiulian was a little suspicious, he saw the largest whale, and he was about to catch up with the warship.

"Shoot barbed arrows from a ballista, nail the whale, and when it dies of exhaustion or bleeding, it can be dragged away. You don't look at whales so big, in fact, they are very docile, just like cattle and sheep on the grassland. Ji Yang said.

"I see, such a big whale is enough to feed us for days." Jing Xiulian licked her lips.

"In addition to meat, the most valuable thing for whales is fat, which can be used to replace vegetable oil and lard, to make candles and soaps. And our cannons, which can be maintained with whale oil, in short, whaling is a lucrative business. The meat is edible, the skin can be tanned, the fins are processed into shark fin, and the liver is extracted from cod liver oil. Ji Yang said.

The world of wind and clouds is not far from the industrial age, and with the development of industry, the demand for whale oil will increase. Jing Xiulian didn't know about soap, lubricating oil and other goods, but Ji Yang knew very well that they would become one of the industries of the Star Sect.

Don't look at the world now, it will be more majestic, but Ji Yang believes that it will definitely be the Star Sect in the future.

"Leave the affairs on the land to the Tianxia Society, and this sea, just leave it to the Star Sect." Ji Yang divided the benefits in one sentence.

"My subordinates understand." Jing Xiu replied.

Before the defeat of North Korea, the chamber of commerce of the Tianxia Association has been allowed to trade, and I don't know how much money it will make. And this fleet was built with money from the Nakshatra faction, and since there is a place where ships are needed, it is naturally handed over to the Nakshatra faction.

The reason why Jing Xiulian agreed so happily was not only because he was in awe of Ji Yang, but also because he didn't look down on the interests of whale oil and the interests of the sea. So far, Jing Xiulian thinks that Ji Yang's attack on Dongying is just to spread martial arts culture, or to grab a little money.

"Tell me to go down and ask the guerrillas to catch a few whales to eat, and let's open the meat first." Ji Yang knew that whales were delicious, but he hadn't eaten them yet.

"Yes, sir." Immediately someone went down to spread the word.

As soon as the order arrived, Ming Tao dispatched five guerrilla ships and rowed towards a group of whales. The reason why guerrilla ships are called sorties is because in the entire fleet formation, only guerrilla ships are equipped with ballistas.

Moreover, this kind of ballista bed is attached to an iron chain, which is mainly used in naval warfare, and the guerrilla ship relies on the speed to approach the opponent's large ship, and then uses the ballista to fire giant arrows to hook the opponent's ship and climb up.

Those sailors would work lightly, and as long as they hooked the hull of the ship, it was easy to go up along the chains.

Now it is used for whaling, and it is also a great weapon.

Everyone looked at the five guerrilla ships curiously, the guerrilla ships that were 65 meters long were already very large, but they still looked a little weak in front of the whales that were more than 100 meters long.

The captains of the five guerrilla ships coordinated the action with flags, and after approaching a smaller whale, they fired bed crossbows together. They were afraid that a ship would not understand a whale, so five bed crossbows hit a whale at the same time, nailing it to the sides and back of its body.

A large amount of blood spilled and stained the water, and the whale let out a cry of pain and struggled in the sea. The cattle and sheep are usually docile, but when they are wounded, they go berserk, and the wounded whale drags five guerrilla ships. The captain ordered the sailors to row in reverse, and the five guerrilla ships tore at the whales, shaking the hull so that the ballista bed fixed to the side of the ship began to crack.

Click!

A ballista bed was dragged off by a whale, and the guerrilla ship almost overturned because of the reaction force. The remaining four guerrilla ships were still tug-of-war with whales, and everyone was enthusiastic and shouted, "Do it hard!" ”

Another crossbow bed was dragged off by the whale, and only three bed crossbows remained.

The guerrilla ship had stabilized, and the captain, annoyed, ordered another bed crossbow to be fired, and a bloody hole was nailed into the whale's back. The whale continued to struggle, and the water was stirred up by it until it let out a mournful roar.

In the end, the whale was dragged to death, with nine blood holes in its body and four crossbows in its bed.

When the five guerrilla ships dragged the whale back to the main ship, the sailors cheered, and the fear of such a behemoth vanished. There were a total of forty guerrilla ships in the Star Fleet, and the rest of the captains looked at the whales and were eager to try.

Several Popeye dragged the whale's carcass onto the main ship, pulled it in front of Ji Yang, and knelt on one knee: "I've seen the master, the whale you want has arrived." "This whale is quite small, about eighty meters long, and it almost occupies the deck of the main ship.

"Drag it down and slaughter it, and give it to the brethren to eat, and don't throw out the whale oil that comes out of it, but use it to maintain the artillery, and use it as lamp oil and cooking oil." Ji Yang said.

"Obedience." The sailors rejoiced, took knives on the spot, dismembered the bodies, and then dragged them to the ships for processing. There was a pool of blood on the deck, and immediately a bottom sailor came to rinse it and wipe the deck clean. (To be continued.) )
