Chapter 103: Shark Apocalypse

On this day, Wanshida looked at his atmospheric pressure gauge and felt that the value was too high, and there would be no major storms in the near future. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Look at the sea surface wind strength is no more than six at most.

Wanshida knows in his heart that this is a good day to go to sea.

Captain Cai Erlang also took the initiative to find Wan Shida, he pretended to be relaxed and said, "Wan Gangshou, these days are a good day to go to sea......

Wan Shida asked carefully, "Have you dealt with the sailors?" ”

“…… They...... It was so much fun......

"You're scared, aren't you?"

Captain Cai Erlang hadn't answered at this time, and Gu Jianshan grabbed and said, "The master of the Wan family personally went out, what are you afraid of......

“…… Don't be afraid, don't be afraid...... Hehe. ”

But I'm afraid that I'm going to go to the battlefield, and on this day the flagship 001 began to sail.

Now the northeast monsoon has become weak, but it can still blow their yellowish and black sails and make them go straight to the South China Sea.

In this time and space, the land is the world of plants, and the sea is the world of fish.

The South China Sea has been a haven for fish since ancient times, and its biological resources are not rich.

At this time, the sea surface is rolling, the sea breeze is whistling, and from time to time you can see a flock of white boobies flying in the sky.

This seabird has a white body, and its habit is to fly away from the island during the day to hunt in the depths of the sea and return to the island at night.

Its appearance indicates that there will be islands nearby.

The South China Sea now shows its deep blue hue, which is a stark contrast to the white boobies.

As the flagship 001 advanced, Captain Cai Erlang kept muttering there, don't fight the big fish, it always appears, let's fight it, and I haven't seen it yet!

Wanshida ignored him, and the whale stayed underwater for a maximum of two hours, and eventually had to surface to breathe...... However, that is not always possible

The old captain was anxious because he was afraid of killing the big fishman......

Wan Shida came out this time and also brought out three and a half children, one is Gu Jianshan, one is Wu Jie, and the other is Xiao Xiang.

The three of them were the best men in the hunting team to wield bed crossbows, and they also cooperated tacitly.

Looking at it now, the emotions of the people on the whole boat seem to be a little depressed, which is not good.

Wan Shida took the three and a half children on the deck to talk and laugh, but it did not mobilize the emotions of the whole ship......

At this time, a group of flying fish suddenly jumped on the sea in the distance!

Three and a half boys with sharp eyes shouted straight there!

Wan Shida saw that more than 300 meters away in the northwest direction, there was a group of flying fish flying out of the sea, and there were quite a few of them.

He knew that this was a last resort for the flying fish to avoid the predators behind him, so he hurriedly looked through the binoculars, and sure enough, he saw several sharks' dorsal fins looming in the waves......

The flying fish glide in the air is graceful, with shiny fins.

In the air, it can glide up to 200 meters, so it's a good way to save your life, but the danger is still there.

Sometimes when it glides through the air, it is often caught by flying seabirds, or it lands on an island, or crashes into a reef and dies!

So if you want to save your life, it's not a good way to dodge, the best way is to be stronger than a shark!

He casually told the three and a half children about the truth of life.

Gu Jianshan's eyes rolled and he had an idea, he said, "Are the three of them as strong as sharks?!" ”

Wu Jie immediately said: "One is in the water, the other is on the boat, there is no way to compare ......"

Xiao Xiang said: "How not? Shoot it with a bow! I don't believe it can compare to three people......"

Wan Shida also thought of a way to improve morale at this time, he pointed to the flying fish in the distance, and shouted to Captain Cai Erlang and said: "Adjust the direction, go there, I want to shoot a shark, I haven't drunk shark fin soup for a long time......"

“……”

Hehe, eating shark fin is a special food culture phenomenon in the Chinese world.

In this Great Song Dynasty, this shark skin and shark lips were once famous in the food world, Mei Yaochen was given shark skin by a friend, and also wrote a poem "Answering the National Heritage Shark Skin".

But in the current time and space of the Great Song Dynasty, shark fins are not cared for, and they have not learned how to cook.

Now, the unlucky shark is going to be used to cheer up the flag for this voyage......

Captain Cai Erlang didn't know what shark fin was, but honestly turned around in the direction he pointed.

Yes, the movements of turning the rudder and adjusting the sail are all clean and neat, and they are all old fur seals.

Wanshida and the three and a half children unhurriedly loaded the thumb-thick crossbow string on the bed crossbow, and then wound it with a pulley set, and put the crossbow arrow the thickness of the child's arm on the slide.

The tip of the crossbow arrow, which was more than a foot long, shone in the sunlight!

Wanshida then called the other three sailors and equipped the other bed crossbow as well.

The three sailors were quite happy, because Wanshida proposed a reward for the two teams, and whichever team shot the shark first would be rewarded with a hundred dollars!

Wow, the sailors are coming excitedly.

Not to mention, the Great Song people in this era are good at gambling, and even Captain Cai Erlang is at the helm, and at the same time, he specially asks people to bet, betting that three and a half children will shoot first.

Wanshida didn't expect this, so he made a banker, and both sides bet on him to get all the money!

The scene was a little more lively, and in the whistling sea breeze, a lot of laughter was finally heard.

Wan Shida was happy in his heart, and he shouted: "Bet, report the number, and go back to the estuary base to settle the account!" ”

A relaxed and cheerful atmosphere began to emerge on the ship.

As Flagship 001 slowly approached those sharks, they began to prepare.

When the three sailors saw that they were approaching, they did not hold their breath and smashed the trigger with their mallets first!

"Whoosh!"

The bolt slashed through a ray of light and slammed into the shark in the distance!

However, the bolt plunged into the sea, but found nothing...... Soon it was floating out of the sea again.

The big sharks ignored the sudden attack.

The people who bet that they could shoot suddenly sighed, and there were still people who wanted to take the initiative to help, and they quickly got another one.

The men who bet on the half-sized children laughed loudly, laughed at them, and encouraged the three and a half children.

Wanshida held the side of the boat with both hands to watch the excitement, and he was very happy to have such a scene.

There are more than 300 species of sharks in the world, and the South China Sea is home to 93 species of sharks from 17 families.

In fact, humans, a species with a very low fat-to-weight ratio, are not very popular with sharks.

The probability of being bitten by a shark in the sea is extremely low, almost like winning the lottery.

In the case of shark bites, the shark definitely just wants to taste it and eat it, and after tasting it, it vomits and doesn't want to eat it...... Of course, no one can stand this taste, especially if several want to try it.

There are absolutely no sharks that feed on people, that's the exaggeration of the movie.

The encouragement of the sailors made the three and a half children nervous and excited, and their little faces were red!

They took aim through Wangshan, and then slammed down the mallet!

But at this moment, a wave hit, and the flagship 001 fluctuated, and the arrow also missed, and after a while, it floated to the surface.

Oh...... A sigh.

Wanshida smiled, what's the ...... Sharks are meant to be fished, and where you can use crossbow shots, it's just for you to have some fun.

He couldn't see the species of those sharks, they could be about four or five meters long, and they looked quite big, but in the sea, unless they stabbed their dorsal fins at the moment they exposed their dorsal fins, they could be shot!

If you encounter a whale shark, it's still possible to shoot like this.

The whale shark is the largest shark and the largest of the fish, it is usually about 10 meters long, the largest individual is 20 meters long, and weighs 10-15 tons, which is the highest among fish.

To be honest, he had the urge to shoot with a pistol, forget it, it wasn't worth a bullet.

The two gangs of people kept firing, and they began to shoot more than the other.

Finally, with probability, the three sailors actually shot first!

A crossbow bolt stabbed a shark in the back!

The shark jumped out of the sea in pain!

At this time, the flagship 001 finally got closer, and the three and a half sons took the opportunity to make up for another arrow!

The shark eventually couldn't hold it anymore and turned its belly white on the surface of the sea.

They hurried to salvage, and everyone knew that sharks do not have swim bladders, so when they die, they will soon sink into the sea, and it will be in vain.

In the process of fishing, other sharks seemed to smell something fishy and began to patrol around.

This is a good opportunity, the two bed crossbows hurriedly fired again, and two more were killed!

At this point, the other sharks felt bad and ran away.

They hoisted the sharks up with winches and booms, and the sailors lowered a small boat to retrieve the arrows that had undulated in the waves.

When the three sharks were salvaged one by one, Wanshida carefully observed, and this batch of wrinkle-lipped sharks was about four meters, which was not big.

They are all longer, with a thick front and a tapering back.

The shark has a large mouth, well-developed lip folds, small teeth, closely arranged, several dark brown horizontal stripes on the sides of the body, and irregular black spots, and the lower side and ventral surface of the body are silvery-white.

On deck, the sailors had the shark's skin and lips and most importantly fins cut off with large knives, and finally cut off the shark's liver, and threw the rest back into the sea, where other fish would eat the rest.

Nature doesn't waste anything.

But the meat of this shark has an unpleasant formalin taste that is too laborious to handle.

For sharks, whale sharks are not bad in terms of fish meat, the belly part is relatively delicate, and when it is handled, it tastes like tofu, and the meat shreds on its back and tail are thicker, but there is no peculiar smell and there is a bite on the head.

Captain Cai Erlang kept laughing, he didn't care about losing money in betting, but he had never seen this way of catching sharks.

Is that okay?!

Wan Shida also explained with a smile: "They are all blindfolded, and they still have to fish for sharks." ”

"Wan Gangshou, what's the use of that cod liver?"

"Oh, it's ...... more vitamin than other cod livers."

“……”

There was laughter all over the ship now, some winning, some watching the excitement.

But the three and a half sons were angry, and it was okay that they didn't blame each other.

Wan Shida said solemnly: "You see, although you have all practiced in advance, but because the equipment used is not of high quality and the technology is simple, compared with those who have only seen you use it, you have not shown any advantages!" ”

Gu Jianshan clenched his fists and said, "I have to step up my practice again!" ”

Wan Shida nodded and said, "It's a good idea." The simpler the tool, the more effort it takes, such as the so-called knife technique. ”

Wu Jie also clenched his fists and said, "You also have to think about the sea breeze and waves!" ”

Wanshida also nodded in agreement.

Xiao Xiang thought for a while and said, "If you use an arquebus, the first time they use it, it will definitely not be comparable!" ”

Wan Shida said appreciatively: "By the way, only by improving science and technology can we widen the gap with others...... Fools and Tatars are ...... on horseback."

The three of them said almost in unison: "Then how to improve science and technology?!" ”

"There's only one way, learn from us...... "sharks are the only fish in the ocean that don't have swim bladders."

The swim bladder, as you have seen, can be said to be the life of a fish.

Without a swim bladder, fish cannot float and sink in the water at will.

Therefore, the absence of a swim bladder is a huge disadvantage for the shark, which has to swim constantly to ensure that its body does not sink to the bottom.

But it is precisely because the shark keeps swimming that it has a strong physique and agile skills!

If it relies on its sharp teeth at this time, it can become the dominant power in the ocean, and make all the fish smell and discolor.

It's the same with one person...... You don't know how to ride a horse, you don't have a strong body, or you'll have other ways to defeat them!

The gods are fair, and he doesn't let people rely on one talent......"
