Chapter 188: Ship Cat

"Huh~ How can there be rats?" Li Zhen asked strangely, this is a new ship, how can there be rats?

"I found it on the ship, and I must have climbed up the cable in the middle of the night, and when I saw it, the beast was gnawing at the bottom of the cabin...... Your Highness, this is not a trivial matter, although the bulkhead of the ship is very thick, but it can't help but gnaw on this mouse every day, and the rat reproduces quickly, a mouse will soon become a litter, and then a litter will become more...... This must be stopped. Wei Chi Jingde just couldn't turn his brain around, and his reaction was relatively slow, not that he was a fool, of course he could see the danger of rats on the ship.

As soon as Yu Chi Baoqing said this, Li Zhen also suddenly remembered that in the Western Age of Discovery, the earliest sailing ships were mainly wooden structures, and they were not only easy to be eroded by the sea water with high salt content during ocean voyages, but also more likely to breed germs and cause food to rot because of the humid and warm environment at sea, and this happened to provide an extremely superior breeding space for the nemesis of wooden warships, rats. Once rats breed in large numbers on ocean-going vessels, they can eat food, pollute water sources and spread diseases. In the worst case, the wooden structure of the hull was destroyed, causing the entire battleship to sink due to the loss of structural support!

For this reason, in order to curb the heavy burden of mice, but also for the safety of their own lives after sailing, they will raise several domestic cats on the ship, although the domestic cats will consume part of the supplies they wear, but considering that the damage of the rats is greater, therefore, the food eaten by the domestic cats is insignificant. In addition, domestic cats can also bring a little joy to the crew on long voyages, and can relieve the tension and depression caused by long sea voyages.

In fact, not only in the Age of Discovery, even modern ships will raise some cats, the purpose is to catch mice, rats on the ship or random holes to bite things, sometimes bite the wires on the ship, the wires are bitten and bitten, will cause a short circuit will damage the electrical equipment - if the wires and electronic equipment in an aircraft carrier are bitten by rats and encounter war, it will not become a live target?

Therefore, the solution to the problem of rats is very simple, that is, to raise cats, as long as there are three or five cats on a ship, it can completely suppress the rampant rats.

And this kind of cats that live on warships or merchant ships also have a name, called - ship cats.

The biggest role of the ship cat is to catch mice, don't look at the warships rampant in the sea, invincible, only take the mouse has no rut, but the reincarnation of heaven, one thing descends one thing, the cat is just the nemesis of the mouse, there are cats, and the mice are only waiting for death - in other words, cats and mice are really natural enemies, even if the cat is full, as long as they see the mouse, they will not hesitate to pounce on it and bite it to death.

"Don't worry, when you get to the place, just find some cats and put them on the boat."

The rat is about three weeks from conception to delivery, and at the speed of a flying scissor sailboat, Li Zhen has already arrived at the place, and maybe even the battle is over, isn't it easy to find a few cats?

"Yes, Your Highness just has a score in mind, and I'll deal with this." Yu Chi Baoqing strangled the rat casually and was about to throw it out.

"Wait a minute." Li Zhen hurriedly stopped him.

Seeing that Li Zhen's face was not good-looking, Yu Chi Baoqing hurriedly asked, "Your Highness, is something wrong?" Whoever messes with you, I'll beat him to death. ”

Seeing that Yu Chi Baoqing was about to beat someone, Li Zhen hurriedly grabbed him: "No one provokes me, but you do need to beat people, here's how it ......"

Li Zhen told Zhang Cambodia about sneaking on the boat, and finally said: "It was so easy for people to get mixed up with our ship, and they took a shower in the kitchen generously, and no one found out, this is a serious dereliction of duty and cannot be forgiven." You go, the porters, the inspectors, the cooks and even the captain...... As long as there is any involvement, find out for me, and beat them severely, with twenty lashes each, and there must be no mistake. ”

"Yes, I like this job, I'll do it." Yu Chi Baoqing immediately took the order and ran to find someone to trouble.

This is also the reason why Li Zhen handed over this matter to him, Zhang Cambodia himself is a suspect, Pei Xingjian and Luo Zhe have not enough background, Cheng Chuliang and his father are virtuous, they look stupid, but in fact they are shrewd to death, let him do this kind of offending thing, even if he takes it, he will basically steal and play tricks, and only Yu Chi Baoqing is a solid eye who can faithfully carry out Li Zhen's orders.

"Night Ride." Li Zhen returned to the cabin and did not rest, but summoned the thirteen knights who did not leave an inch, but this time it was not the demon cui or the king snake that he summoned, but the night rider.

"Yes." The night rider's voice was almost identical to that of the previous King Snake and the Emerald, both low and hoarse, and those who didn't know thought their throats were choked with chili peppers.

"You don't need me to tell you about your task, do you?" Li Zhen said coldly: "I will find out the mice hidden in the fleet, none of them will be missing, and none of them will be missing, in addition, Demon Cui and King Snake, you two will cooperate with him." ”

"Understood." Demon Cui and King Snake didn't say much, but silently followed the night rider out.

At least one of the three of them is listed as a group, because of the special ability of the night rider - his special ability is called detection, there are three abilities, the first is to distinguish the real from the fake, as long as it is a spy, it is basically impossible to hide from his eyes, even if it is a twin brother, he can also distinguish it, this hand ability, even if it is a demon cui in front of him, it is not pleasing to him.

The second ability is to find, as long as you are close to someone within a radius of him, even if you are hiding in the soil, he can quickly find you.

The third is to lock and track, as long as it is the enemy he locks, even if you flee to the ends of the earth, he can quickly lock your position, and he will never escape from the palm of his hand.

With these three abilities, he can be ranked as one of Li Zhen's thirteen knights, and he is also the knight that Li Zhen relies on the most, because this is his last life-saving card, and his status in Li Zhen's heart is second only to the dragon rider.

With the ability to ride at night, coupled with the assistance of the Demon Cui and the King Snake by the side, even if someone wants to escape, there is nowhere to escape.

"Whew, it's finally done." Li Zhen shook her head, threw out these worries, leaned on the recliner and closed her eyes: "It's still comfortable outside, free, if only I could come out often." ”

Although he is also hiding in his own little world, this is free air after all, and Li Zhen still feels very comfortable.
