According to Chen Zheng's instructions, Zhu Zhengrong sent out four people to lay the foundation, and the rest of the people followed him and dispatched them at any time.

Chen Zheng led the craftsmen to the place where the sea whale bones were placed, and lifted the curtain covering them, exposing the sea whale bones again.

Although, during this time, Zhu Zhengrong has seen the true face of the sea whale bone many times, but now standing next to him, he still feels very shocked.

"Can this sea whalebone really be used to build a temple?" Zhu Zhengrong asked, but it was more like talking to himself.

Chen Zheng nodded and said with a smile: "Lord Si Cheng, don't underestimate the bones of this sea whale, it's hard!" ”

"The hardness is enough, but what about the toughness and load-bearing?" Zhu Zhengrong was a little worried.

"Don't worry, if you shoot in the next place, there is no problem, if there is an accident in the future, you will bear it in the next force." Chen Zheng said with an oath.

Zhu Zhengrong wanted this sentence, and said with a smile: "In this case, we will obey Master Chen's orders, and we will do what you say!" ”

Chen Zheng didn't ink either, and even ordered: "Trouble a few masters, remove the backbone of the sea whale bone, and be careful not to damage its ribs." ”

"Do you hear me, you three go do this, don't hurt your ribs!" Zhu Zhengrong commanded.

Immediately, the three craftsmen each brought their tools and began to remove the backbone of the sea whale according to Chen Zheng's request.

Zhu Zhengrong, who was watching from the side, frowned, obviously having something on his mind, so Chen Zheng asked: "Is there something wrong with Lord Sicheng, if there is something, you can go and get busy, just leave it to you here." ”

Zhu Zhengrong waved his hand and said, "The most important thing for the Ministry of Industry now is to build this sea whalebone temple, and everything else has to make way for this." ”

"Then why doesn't Lord Si Cheng frown?" Chen Zheng asked.

Zhu Zhengrong pondered for a moment and said, "There is one thing, this official really can't figure it out!" ”

Chen Zheng smiled slightly and said, "I don't know what it is, it makes Lord Si Cheng puzzled, it is better to say that it will come out, let's discuss it together." ”

After thinking about it, Zhu Zhengrong asked: "This official has seen countless large and small fish, and those fish bones are all a row of symmetrical bone spurs, and this sea whale skeleton is completely different from those fish bones, it is a bit like the skeleton of cattle and sheep, it is very strange, this official can't figure it out, I can't figure it out!" ”

Chen Zheng laughed and said: "Actually, the answer to this question is very simple, this sea whale is not a fish in the first place, so its skeleton is different from the skeleton of a fish." ”

Zhu Zhengrong's face was sluggish, he pulled his lips, and said, "Master Chen, although I don't read much, don't lie to me, this sea whale is not a fish?" ”

"Yes, how could I deceive Lord Si Cheng, even if I have this heart, I don't have the courage." Chen Zheng teased.

After thinking for a while, Zhu Zhengrong still didn't seem to have a connection, and asked again: "Master Chen, then can you tell this official, why is this sea whale not a fish?" After all, just looking at the shape of this skeleton, it still resembles a fish. ”

"Lord Si Cheng, when studying things, you must not be deceived by their appearance, you must know that people cannot be disguised, and the same is true for this sea whale." Chen Zhengdao.

Zhu Zhengrong nodded and said, "Master Chen is reasonable, and this official is willing to hear the details." ”

Chen Zheng saw that Zhu Zhengrong looked like he loved learning, but it was not easy to refuse, so he explained: "I wonder if the adults usually observe the fish we eat?" ”

"I've observed, this official likes to study small things the most, and when it's okay, he just thinks about it, you can go on." Zhu Zhengrong responded.

Chen Zheng nodded and said, "This ordinary fish has two gills and no lungs, and when they are in the water, they rely on these two gills to breathe." ”

"Didn't the sea whales? You see, their heads are about the same shape. Zhu Zhengrong pointed to the sea whale bone and said.

Chen Zheng shook his head and said, "Lord Si Cheng has never seen a live sea whale, so I don't know the specific appearance of this sea whale, in fact, the sea whale has no gills, it is the same as those cattle and sheep, and its breathing depends on the lungs." ”

As he spoke, Chen Zheng pointed to a location on the sea whale bone and said, "Oh, the sea whale's lungs probably grow in this place." ”

Zhu Zhengrong nodded as if he didn't understand, and asked again: "Then since this sea whale is the same as cattle and sheep, it also breathes with its lungs, so won't it choke on water in the sea?" Cattle and sheep fall into the river, but they choke and drown. ”

Chen Zheng clapped his palms and said, "Lord Si Cheng is really good at thinking, and he immediately asked the key to the question. ”

"Don't praise falsely, let's tell the truth to the official quickly." Zhu Zhengrong said impatiently.

Chen Zheng actually didn't know very much, but he didn't know the principle, but he knew the result, so he flickered: "The lungs of this sea whale can hold water, so it won't choke." When there is enough water in the lungs, it will shoot out from the nostrils on the top of the whale, forming a column of water on the surface of the sea, which is still a very spectacular scene. ”

Zhu Zhengrong had never seen a sea whale spraying water, but after listening to Chen Zheng's words, he could imagine that scene.

A sea whale wanders carefree in the sea, sometimes diving, sometimes floating, and after a while, a column of water gushes out from its nostrils on its back, rising several feet high.

However, this sea whale didn't know that the danger had been taken, and a huge non-fishing boat was approaching it, and the commander on board was Chen Zheng, who was standing beside Zhu Zhengrong.

After a struggle, the whales were killed, and Chen Zheng was cheering and jubilating on the boat.

This scene of Chen Zheng going out to sea to hunt whales was completely made up by Zhu Zhengrong's brain.

Even just thinking about it, Zhu Zhengrong was a little angry, and he couldn't wait to go to the vast sea and fight with this huge sea whale.

Seeing Zhu Zhengrong's flushed face, Chen Zheng was a little worried, touched him with his elbow, and asked, "Lord Si Cheng, are you okay?" ”

Zhu Zhengrong came back to his senses, looked at Chen Zheng, shook his head, and said, "The official is fine, but I really yearn for the scene of Master Chen fighting this sea whale on the sea." ”

Chen Zheng smiled dumbly and said, "This is easy to do, didn't Your Majesty allow Tang Yi, the secretary of the Ministry of War, to form a whaling team?" When the time comes, Lord Si Cheng will take the initiative to ask for help, and Tang Shangshu will have a reason to turn you away. ”

Chen Zheng was originally joking, wanting to liven up the atmosphere, he didn't think that a Si Cheng of the Ministry of Craftsmanship was willing to take the risk of going to the whaling team, which was unreasonable.

However, Zhu Zhengrong listened to Chen Zheng's words, his eyes lit up, and he nodded: "Master Chen's reminder is right, when the time comes, the official will take the initiative to ask for help, even if it is just an ordinary crew member, you can also fulfill the official's wish." ”

"You're not joking, are you?" Chen Zheng asked.

Zhu Zhengrong's eyes were firm, his tone was natural, and he nodded: "This official never jokes!" ”
