"The best way to keep yourself out of danger is to be the most dangerous person in the world!"

Ferdinand muttered his "wise sayings" and left the lab wearing a mask.

……

cough cough cough ......

Such a shady thing has finally come to an end.

Let's take a look at some of the newer gadgets.

……

For the American strongholds in remote areas, they urgently need to strengthen communication with the mainland and other strongholds.

Take, for example, the stronghold of Puerto Seguru in the Bay of Gabralia, Brazil!

It's so lonely!

The Reclamation Corps here was probably the most tragic and depressing of the ten original Spanish strongholds in the Americas, and they had long since crossed the equator and were in the southern hemisphere on the southeast coast of Brazil!

The Portuguese said, "The southern hemisphere or something, I have already crossed the southernmost point of the African continent."

However, the Spaniards do not have this experience!

Brazil was the first time Spain had entered the southern hemisphere, and for the first time, it had entered this remote corner of the southern hemisphere – which even the Portuguese had never seen – and built a fortress here for a long time.

In front of you is the vast South American continent, behind you is the endless South Atlantic Ocean, and further inland, you will find the forest zone.

The Spaniards did three things in the port of Seguru: farming (rice, sweet potatoes), fishing (three sea boats), and cutting down trees (Brazilian mahogany). As for oppressing and enslaving the natives, the 102 officers and men of the Reclamation Corps do not have the energy and ability.

102 people, a number that is too small to build a colonial stronghold. Therefore, the detachment of the Spanish Reclamation Corps in Port Seguru has been waiting for follow-up support to be sent here.

In the autumn of 1495, they finally arrived.

Masts appeared on the distant coastline, four agile and brisk ships approached, and more than 200 support personnel were immediately warmly welcomed by revolutionary comrades. Of course, I have to give a warm welcome, and I don't feel like I'm on a desert island until now.

While warmly welcomed, some of the soldiers who stayed behind also discovered the problem. Are these support ships driving a little too fast?

The same is true in the north, on the island of Newfoundland, where advanced vessels and advanced fish storage techniques have been effectively combined.

At dawn, off the southeast coast of Newfoundland in autumn, the waves are more undulating and the winds are stronger. The restlessness of the North Atlantic in autumn did not stop the sailors and fishermen of the Reclamation Corps from working harder and harder to hunt for cod. Lowered from a small boat suitable for pelagic operations, the cod keeps biting and then being caught. A large boat carrying 70 crew members and 14 small fishing boats, the fishing speed is very impressive.

Newfoundland waters are extremely rich in cod, which can be said to be inexhaustible before the advent of modern distant-water trawlers and the devastating large-scale fishing of large distant-water trawlers from more than a dozen industrial countries in Europe and the United States.

The severe, decapitated cod is piled up on the rocky beaches of Newfoundland and Cape Breton, and sprinkled with a large amount of natural sea salt that Ferdinand had obtained from drying salt in Northwest Africa—so much salt that it is not easy to sell it, and then sent to North America in large quantities to marinate the cod caught off the coast of Newfoundland.

The fish caught has to be handled carefully, and if the blood is bled immediately, the finished product will be too white.

Marinating cod is not easy, so after five or six days on the beach, the excess salt is washed away in the sea, and then it is stacked again on the shore to remove the water.

It was a salt-intensive project, but it was just enough to cover up the sea salt that Ferdinand had obtained in large quantities in Western Sahara.

In fact, the improved salt boiling method can also produce large quantities of salt, which is very useful for some smaller inland areas.

However, Banya has its own national conditions here, the vast coastline of Europe and the United States is there, and its own maritime power is strong, but it lacks coal, so it does not do such a ruin as boiling salt.

However, some parts of Newfoundland are an exception to the pain, which has to do some salt boiling work, after all, there are impurities in the salt that can cause "salt burns" in the fish.

However, compared to the precautions for drying fish, this problem is nothing. The fish that has been washed to remove the salt and water is spread out on the beach, with the flesh facing up during the day and turned over at night...... Finally, they are stacked together and oozing water......

If you spend too much time in the sun, the skin will warp......

Troublesome!

In the process, Ferdinand and his craftsmen developed several artificial dryers that were beneficial in terms of efficiency and quality.

However......

Such salted cod is actually very salty...... Straight salted fish, but also hard and has a strong smell......

However, if you don't want to be starved to death on fasting days, or starved to death for days, you should accept this product obediently, for the benefit of His Majesty, the clergy and the commoners who have no money!

(The priests cried, they blamed the two kings of Spain, and if they had nothing to do, they would rectify the church, and we were much more miserable than our Roman counterparts...... ）

Of course, our great King His Majesty...... I don't eat this salted fish, people eat frozen fresh fish⊙⊙! It's a luxury! Except, of course, for the native Newfoundland Reclamation Corps, after all, they can eat directly......

Also enjoying the benefits is now the detachment of the Reclamation Corps in Greenland, and perhaps being able to eat fresh fish is a comfort to the people who have stayed in the far north, especially the priests who are hungry and perform great tricks on the natives every day......

What a kindness!

When the salted cod is ready, it is transported back on a distant-water fishing boat.

This morning, three sea vessels suddenly appeared not far from the coastline, and in a few days, they could also take on a transport mission.

Sailors and fishermen on the coastline or on the coastal sea, some of them noticed the problems with the three boats......

It's so fast!

That's right, this is Ferdinand's gospel to the pioneers of the New World: the Flying Shear Galen Ship! (The author reiterates that he has obtained the authorization of the full-level paladin of the author of "Divine Favor Spain")
