Captain Guo Ziren stood in front of the "naked" humpback whales, watching the Ming fishermen line up, carefully cutting the whale fat on the whale body, scraping some on the torn whale skin, and then putting the whale fat into a large wooden basin and barrel.

Without the command of the Hantang Group, people also cherish it. Of course, the things that the Ming people could use to pay tribute to the emperor were all valued.

Captain Guo Ziren knew at a glance that the fat layer of this humpback whale was only about 20 centimeters thick.

Alas, now is not a good time for whaling, if it is autumn, and they have just migrated here from the north, when the humpback whale has at least forty centimeters of fat - but now it can only be said to be better than nothing.

But the most whale oil is the blue whale, what do the Nordics call it? Oil thief.

You can imagine how much whale oil it can produce. Further north, any whale has a fat layer of more than 50 centimeters.

The four dissecting hands cooperated relatively unfamiliarly, and it took most of the day to finally cut off the head of the humpback whale. During this time, the minced flesh from the neck of the humpback whale flew everywhere, including the four dissecters themselves.

The four of them were covered in blood, and it was a little scary.

Captain Guo Ziren had the heart to go over to help, but looking at the shape of the whale machete, he felt that he was not very good at using it.

It was a fishing tool knife that imitated Little Japan, and to be honest, he really hadn't used it himself, and he didn't dare to guarantee that it would be better than them.

After seeing that the head of the humpback whale had finally been cut off, Captain Guo Ziren avoided the minced meat on the ground and walked over.

He had taken the humpback whale's brain and brain fluid with his own hands, and was a little worried that if they cut it again, they would trample on the precious things.

The four dissecting hands were also discussing how to cut it open and reduce the damage, and this big head could be more than four tons.

The average weight of a whale's brain is more than six times greater than the average weight of a human brain, of course, because this thing is proportional to the body...... So now, it can only be the prey of humans...... But it's also one of the intelligent animals.

After the brain, cerebral fluid and bone marrow in the head of the humpback whale are simply refined at low pressure, they will directly obtain a fairly high-grade lubricating oil, which can be used in the precision instruments of the Hantang Group.

Of course, it can also be used as a raw material for medicine and cosmetics, and it is said that after the candle made from it is burned, it has an aphrodisiac effect...... Maybe that's the purpose of the Wax Dinner.

Captain Guo Ziren said: "Little Japan's craniotomy method is too delicate, we can't afford to delay that time, just like I did back then, from the neck to the top, the loss is not much, we have two."

Give me a knife, and the five of us will work together so that the Ming people can see what we want......"

Authentic whale brain oil, also known as whale wax, is only found on the head of the sperm whale, which controls the buoyancy of the sperm whale in the deep sea. However, the sperm whale is the next target to hunt, and the Hantang Group is not in a hurry now.

After losing some brain fluid, the three of them finally took out the humpback whale's brain and most of the brain fluid, a wooden basin full of twenty kilograms. Don't underestimate this, it's precious.

There are two methods for refining whale oil in the fishery department of Hantang Group, which is the same as the general method of refining animal oil, which is divided into fire refining method and gas refining method.

Tempering is to use the usual cauldron to boil. Everywhere in this plane, this method is used to refine animal oil.

In the plan, some refining equipment that imitates the world will not be launched until the second half of the year.

For example, the cauldron equipment, which can be turned by manpower, can process 500 kilograms of blubber at a time, and four Ming laborers can achieve easy flipping work.

But because it was ahead of schedule, I had to use the soil method first, and boil it pot by pot.

Fortunately, the iron pot produced by the Red Star Foundry is getting bigger and thinner, and the products sell well in Quanzhou, Xiamen and Guangzhou in the Ming Mainland...... At the same time, it is exchanged for several times the raw material of pig iron.

The earth method of fire refining specializes in dealing with average quality blubber, internal organs, and broken whale skin, which are not difficult.

Gas refining is the use of low-pressure steam boiler extraction, with the current equipment conditions of Hantang Group, the output of processing and production of whale oil is not as good as the soil method of fire refining, but its extraction ratio is greater than the number of 70% of the soil method of fire refining, and the quality is higher, it is easy to control the temperature, and the product is cleaner.

Besides, now with the technological development of Hantang Group, the output of low-pressure steam boilers will definitely increase, which is not an urgent matter.

Low-pressure gas refining is used to process high-grade whale oil, such as intercostal blubber or brain and bone marrow.

At this time, perhaps the entire area of Geranco is filled with the oil smell of whale oil. Truth be told, this is no different from regular animal oil.

When the autopsy hands cut off the whale's tail again, the humpback whale was completely handed over to the Ming fishermen.

Whale tail is the designated part of the few remaining canteens of Hantang Group, and it is the essence of whale meat.

According to the requirements of the Hantang Group, the Ming fishermen took turns cutting the whale meat, carrying and loading it in order, and the other part was burned to make oil.

When they saw it, they didn't think there was any problem, and the five of them got together to smoke cigarettes and prepare to start working on the next one.

Captain Guo Ziren said, "Why don't you recruit those recruits to help?" ”

One of the four dissecters, Sun Shan, the manager of the port department of the Hantang Group and the manager of the part-time fishery department, is now covered in whale debris and bloody.

But no one cares about that.

Manager Sun Shan said: "I looked for them, they didn't agree, they said that they were raided to open up the wasteland and plant rice a while ago, and they were all tired, and this can hire Ming laborers to do it, it is better to let the Ming people do it, and in the future, they will hunt whales by themselves, don't they still have to deal with it themselves......"

Captain Guo Ziren took a puff of cigarette and said, "Makes sense...... This is the first step...... Whaling is a big business......"

Manager Sun Shan took a hard puff of his cigarette and said, "Yes, there are several tools for whaling in the Hongxing Industrial Zone, and I heard that there is a Ming version of the whaling cannon...... These are all given to the Ming fishermen on credit first, and we are open to buying whale products. ”

Captain Guo Ziren just wanted to lament that his Yusan was going to become a stock again, and he was going to be reduced to the position of a maintenance worker, but in fact, he was looking at the ship......

Suddenly, I heard someone shouting, "Manager Sun, have you taken out the whale brain fluid?!" ”

The five of them looked back and saw that it was the technician of the Women's Friend, Ma Bin, who had come with Dean Ma Jun......

The technician next to the horse is slightly chubby, but he is more agile.

He carefully avoided the blood on the ground, minced meat, walked forward in broken steps, and then opened his arms and jumped lightly, a distance of more than ten meters, and it was there in a blink of an eye.

"Manager Sun, the brain tissue and brain fluid of that humpback whale, I want some whale oil extracted by myself...... I also want to get some whale milk, not for me to drink, to see what is the difference between the beauty effect and goat's milk......"

Manager Sun Shan frowned and said, "You don't want ready-made whale oil?" How do you extract it yourself? ”

It's not that he's reluctant, it's that he doesn't like unplanned events the most.

"Haha, that's the easiest, I and the old director of the glass factory, the guy who always has a strict face, asked for some glassware, and he said that it can withstand the heating of the alcohol lamp...... I discussed with Dean Ma Jun again to see what to add to see if I could make the skin care effect better...... This cosmetics will be an industry in the future. ”

Dean Ma Jun was wearing a green medical coat at this time, this kind of clothing, and the Ming people already knew what he did...... However, there are still very few people who come to him to see a doctor, and they all do everything possible to go to Chiji Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, where the medical skills are excellent and the price is low...... This Reranza Medical Center looks very expensive.

Dean Ma Jun ignored other people's topics and said directly: "Is the whale liver taken out now?" First of all, we will stop processing the parts that our group wants, and I will see what it looks like in actual terms, and if necessary, we will do a test...... And then process it as planned...... If you don't belong to our group, you can just sell it directly to the Ming people according to the original plan. ”

There are changes again!

Manager Sun Shan frowned: "Didn't you send Chi Ji directly to make cod liver oil?" ”

"I changed my mind...... I'm worried that there may be heavy metal accumulation......"

"Is there a mistake?! There is an accumulation of heavy metals in this era?! ”

"I found this sign in the liver of a dolphin......"

"I'm ...... Is that a cross-over one? ”

The technician at Ma Pan enthusiastically interjected: "Heavy metal pollution is a generic term...... This phenomenon also exists in primitive societies, and it does not depend on human willpower......"

"I see!"

Manager Sun Shan ended the topic cleanly, otherwise he didn't know where he would go off-topic. He waved over a few Ming people and arranged for them to obey their commands.

Then he led the other three dissecters to another humpback whale, which he wanted to disintegrate in one day.

Captain Guo Ziren didn't follow directly, he wanted to ask Dean Ma Jun a question.

"Dean Ma Jun, I've always had a question, can this whale oil be suitable for people to eat?"

"Whale oil contains the same fatty acids and cholesterol as other animals, with comparable amounts of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, and is extremely high in calories, with a high content of vitamins A and D...... Why can't it be suitable for people? ”

"Tell me something, don't laugh at me......"

The technician next to the horse said, "Where will it be?" I ignore those who speak sarcastically and sarcastically! ”

"When I was a child, it took a long time for our brigade to catch another whale, at that time, the whale was placed on the beach, and the commune sent someone to deal with it, and we all watched it with a blank eye...... You must know that at that time, all the whale fat was taken away from the state, and only pure whale meat remained, which was quite coarse and less oily...... But just like that, after the people in our brigade ate it, the whale meat was fragrant, but this thing was weird, and the whale oil unconsciously came out of the asshole...... You don't know it yet, but the back of your pants gets wet at every turn...... In this way, the brigade that can't buy whale meat still envy us...... Don't laugh at ......."

Dean Ma Jun's hands were already in the pockets of his coat, and he didn't mean to laugh at all, he said: "If it is an isolated phenomenon, there may be many reasons...... According to your condition, there is a similar collective situation, that is, the collective has a chronic shortage of cooking oil...... Sudden overeating, causing mild diarrhea...... It's not whale oil, it's your gut fluid -- it's not whale oil.

At that time, how often did you eat pork, sheep and beef? ”

“…… For a long time. ”

The technician next to Ma interjected and said, "Ah, Dean Ma, you are from a big city...... In those days, people in the countryside did not eat as much meat as people in the cities...... 1. Guarantee the supply of your big city first......"

Dean Ma Jun ignored the interjection of the technician next to Ma, and still said to Captain Guo Ziren:

"The fat content of fish is inherently insufficient, and if you don't replenish other fats in time, your stomach and intestines are already lacking in the ability to digest fat...... You have a normal reaction when you consume whale oil later, right? ”

"Haha, I don't know, I didn't dare to eat it again!"

"Well, I'm pretty sure that this has nothing to do with consuming whale oil......"

The technician next to the horse interjected again: "Of course it doesn't matter...... It was only about some kind of policy, speaking of the situation at the time...... I have some ideas about this ......"

"Okay, you can keep it on the Internet and write it out."

Dean Ma Jun directly stopped the technician next to the horse.

"Good! I'll write it on the Internet! Whatever! ”

The technician's face changed slightly, he felt unhappy, and left with a snort. This also makes it impossible for people to speak......

Captain Guo Ziren looked at the angry back of the technician next to the horse with some concern.

"It's okay, Captain Guo, he forgot to take something, and he will be back in a while. And he's got to come to me, or he won't be able to do his experiment. ”

Dean Ma Jun smiled a little at this time.

"Then we're going to eat whale oil from now on?"

"No, we mainly use linseed oil, supplemented by animal oil and vegetable oil, and eat it in harmony, and it is not scientific to eat one type for a long time. Whale oil is for the Ming people, let them supplement some fatty acids and cholesterol. ”
