The effect of firearm shooting is not bad, but the time interval is a little longer, a few seconds more, but it is these few seconds that can determine the success or failure of the war.

For other training subjects, passwords, formations, fists and feet, equipment, etc., Shen Lang didn't want to look at them, these pirates who stepped out of the sea of swords and fires were good at dancing on the blade.

By the way, last night's whale meat was very fresh, so let's go to the whaling factory to see how many whales our whaling fleet has caught in more than a month, Shen Lang walked towards the whaling factory with great interest, followed by Lorina, a silky black cloak, covering the graceful body tightly, and disappearing from time to time.

"Master, where are we going now?" Lorina took two quick steps to keep up with Shen Lang's pace.

Shen Lang glanced at her, "Go find you something to eat, preferably fresh whale blood." ”

"Whale blood. Wouldn't it be fishy?" said Lorina.

"Animals in the water, there will definitely be a little, you know best, as long as it is blood, where will there be no fishy smell?"

"Master, I want to suck the blood of an endothermic animal, it must be hot, and I don't suck cold. ”

"I know that the whale is not strictly a fish, but an animal that grows up on milk, just like pigs and sheep, but in the sea. Shen Lang explained based on the knowledge in the previous books.

Shen Lang took Luo Lina through the wide square, in front of the port, on the right side of the port is the whaling factory, there is a whaling ship docked nearby, different from ordinary fishing boats, the whaling ship is relatively large, there are four sampans on both sides of the ship, the deck is relatively flat, when the whaler hunts the whale, he hangs the whale on it, first digs a hole in the whale's belly, scoops out the whale oil inside, and then cuts the whale into pieces with a saw.

The sea breeze blew, and a strong smell of blood came, Shen Lang smelled a little nauseous, but he observed that Rolena's expression was very excited, very expectant, and stretched out his pink tongue to lick his undried lips.

Shen Lang thought in his heart, this is a good imagination, if Luo Lina stopped sucking human blood, wouldn't he be a great achievement, saving many people's lives.

Whaling factory, dozens of whaling workers are busy, because the marine fishery resources in this period are very rich, there is no need to protect the problem, so there are a lot of whales near Sumatra, there are a lot of experienced whale jumpers in whaling, with barbed fish bones jumped high, crossed a beautiful arc, and pierced the head of the whale that was jetting on the sea surface, this jump requires skill, and the part should be very accurate, that is, in the area of the jaw and ears of the whale's head, this part is very soft, and it is the soft underbelly of the whale, just like the morning glory wants to hold the nose of the cow, and the fish bone pierces it can not break free in this part。

A good whalejumper must be agile and agile and train for a long time to catch the first whale, of course, the process of whaling is very dangerous, and many whalers have lost their lives because of it.

The wounded whale struggled to run in the depths of the sea, and could not shake off the spear on his body, plus he had to breathe, and from time to time he came out of the water, and then faced the spear of the whale jumper, and finally until he was exhausted, he was led by the long rope and returned to the whaling factory in the port.

For whales caught nearby, as long as it is not very large, it is possible to bring it back to kill, and then process, if it is caught in the distant ocean, it is necessary to scoop out the whale oil immediately, otherwise the temperature of the deep sea is low, the whale oil solidifies, but it is not easy to collect, the best way is to shortly after the whale dies, the body is still warm, scoop out the whale oil, store it in a wooden barrel and seal it, whale oil is a clean energy source, can be used for lighting and other purposes.

The whale in front of him is a beluga whale, very large, full of 20 meters long, weighing more than 30 tons, such a whale, even if he flicks his tail, can smash the ordinary fishing boat into two, at this time obediently stay next to the whaling ship, with a long mouth, snorting, covered with scars, its physical strength has been exhausted, dying.

Shen Lang took Luo Lina closer, a man in his forties was much better dressed than a fisherman, he looked neat, he greeted him with a smile, "Master Hou, you are here, your subordinate Xiao Xun is in charge of here, welcome late, please atone for your sins." ”

Shen Lang waved his hand, "Xiao Xun, you are the head of the whaling factory, tell me about your whaling during this time." ”

"Master Hou, thanks to you, we have caught a total of three whales during this time, one blue whale, two beluga whales, and today this one was captured and brought back last night. Xiao Xun hurriedly introduced, while calling the other fishermen over.

The older fisherman recognized it as Hou Ye and quickly knelt down.

"I didn't know that the Hou Ye had arrived, and the little one had never been far away, hoping that the Hou Ye would atone for his sins. As soon as the old fisherman knelt down, the fisherman behind him also quickly knelt down, not daring to look up.

"Get up, you are busy with you, I will come often in the future, and you will leave me alone. Shen Lang commanded.

"As long as Hou Ye doesn't dislike the smell of blood here, we wish Hou Ye would come often. "The old fisherman was hired to be the captain of the whaling ship, Santin, with a purple face and wrinkled skin, and his eyes were still bright, and he commanded the capture of the beluga whale this time.

"You have done a lot for Palembang, risking your lives to hunt whales, and I thank you on behalf of the military and civilians of Palembang. Shen Lang nodded appreciatively.

"Hou Ye, this is what we should do, we are happy to do things for Hou Ye, and we don't feel that we have suffered the most, besides, Hou Ye gave us three or two months' wages, where can we find such a good thing, the old man is grateful. Sandin's face was full of gratitude, and the other whalers, even though they didn't understand the language of the Great Ming, were also smiling.

"How many barrels of whale oil can such a whale produce, how much whale meat?" Shen Lang asked.

"Based on our past experience, we can produce about 20 barrels, and one barrel is about 300 catties. More than 40,000 catties of whale meat. Sandin replied.

"So much, that's enough for the residents of Palembang to eat and light. Shen Lang said happily.

"The whale oil produced by a whale like this can illuminate for half a month, even if the lights are not extinguished at night. Sandin was very happy when he saw that Hou Ye was happy, and his heart was also very comfortable.

"40,000 catties of meat, Palembang has a population of more than 18,000, that is, more than 2 catties per person, enough to eat for a day. Shen Lang calculated, a single whale can meet the needs of Palembang for a day, then food is no longer a problem, fuel is not a problem, and the mood is much more comfortable.

"Master Hou, that's right, but we will get tired of eating whale meat every day, and we will catch some other fish by the way when we come back. Sandin said.

"I'll give you a task, five boats, you only need to catch five whales every month, and the rest of the time you will fish in the offshore sea for 5,000 catties, complete this task, you can rest for a few days every month, and get paid. Shen Lang gave them a little encouragement.

"What? I can rest for a few days, then I thank Hou Ye on behalf of all the fishermen, we only spent ten days on these three whales, and we have five days of rest when we go out fishing for fifteen days, thank you so much Hou Ye, Hou Ye thinks about us untouchables, and I am grateful. Sandin knelt down again, and when the others heard it, their enthusiasm was mobilized, that is, as long as the task was completed, the rest time might exceed five days, and when the time came, the family would be brought over, and the wife and children would live a hot life, which was several times better than the previous days.

"Xiao Xun, you did a good job, send forty barrels of whale oil to Butterfly Island, I estimate that there are no whales caught there, then send thirty whalers over to help guide whaling in the waters near Butterfly Island, and if the benefits are good at the end of the year, you will also give dividends to these fishermen." Shen Lang commanded.

Xiao Xun on the side nodded hurriedly, "You must follow Master Hou's instructions." ”

Shen Lang nodded, "In this way, wait until the blood of whale oil is collected, it should be warm, packed in a leather bag and sent to the Island Lord's Mansion." ”

"Yes, I'll arrange for someone to do it. Xiao Xun was flattered by the fact that Hou Ye had arranged this task for him, and it was a great honor to be able to go to the Governor's Mansion in person.
