In the north of Fuso, the sea is vast, and more than a dozen large ships are like a row of ants riding the wind and waves.

On the high mast, a flock of seagulls flew around the lookout, and suddenly there was a high-pitched chirp in the distance, and the sailors on the mast immediately searched the sea in the distance with a clairvoyant.

"There is a big kun in the southeast, and a big kun in the southeast!"

"There is a big kun in the southeast!" The deck commander Binglin hurriedly shouted back.

"There is a big kun in the southeast!"

Soon the big boat quickly turned and rushed towards the big kun, and the other ships followed.

Wang Yun sat on a large sea boat, and then looked into the distance, he led the fleet north this time to catch this giant kun. The giant kun is not an ordinary marine fish, it is huge and extremely difficult to deal with. Therefore, Wang Yun personally sat down to catch the giant kun in case there was no problem at that time.

After decades of development, the large sea ships have also been continuously improved, and the robustness and sinking resistance have been significantly improved, in addition to these, the sea ship reminder has become larger.

The most important thing is that after these decades of training, the Daqian court has a mature navy.

The navy and the army are completely different, although the phrase "a century-old navy" is a bit exaggerated, but if you want to train a mature navy, you don't have to work hard for decades, and the efforts of one or two generations are not to think about it at all.

After a large number of voyages, the navy of the imperial court mastered the weather and hydrology of the sea, so that they could sail far at sea. In addition, over the years, sea ships have been continuously improved, and various weapons have also been shipped, and the maximum length of the latest sea ships of the imperial court has exceeded 50 meters.

Such a huge ship is like a moving wall on land. With such a powerful fleet, this is the reason why the imperial court dared to capture the giant kun.

More than a dozen ships lined up in formation, riding the wind and waves on the sea. The sea water hit the side of the ship, stirring up countless white waves, and soon a huge black shadow appeared on the sea surface in the distance, and the sea water flew into the sky more than ten meters high.

"Your Majesty, I have already seen the giant kun, it is a lonely one, do you want to do it!" A man dressed as a general said respectfully.

"Do it, be careful!" Wang Yun said.

After receiving the order, the man immediately gave the order, and the flag-bearer on the mast began to wave the flag. The other flotillas, which saw the flag command, immediately began to move.

Two of the medium-sized ships quickly approached the giant kun, and after adjusting the angle, the modified bed crossbow on the hull was aimed at the giant kun, and in the next second, the crossbow arrows that were two meters long and arm thick flew out in an instant.

The speed of the crossbow arrow was extremely fast, but in the blink of an eye, it stabbed the giant kun, and in an instant, blood splattered, and the giant whale screamed, and the two-meter-long crossbow arrow pierced into its body. The pain caused it to writhe frantically to get rid of the bolts.

However, the barbs had already been added to the crossbow arrow when it was made, and the more the giant kun struggled, the deeper the crossbow arrow penetrated, and it could not be pulled out at all. The blood gushed and stained the sea red.

There were several wooden barrels tied to the rope behind the crossbow arrows, and even if the giant kun kept churning, it still couldn't get rid of it. After firing two crossbow arrows, the two warships immediately dodged in order to prevent the giant kun from knocking the ship over in anger.

The giant kun tried to dive and escape several times, but the dozen or so wooden barrels hanging behind the crossbow arrows made it impossible for it to dive deep in the sea. The giant kun tossed and tried to escape, but it had no effect at all, except to tear the wound even bigger.

Finally, after churning on the surface of the sea for two quarters of an hour, the giant kun, which was more than ten meters long, no longer had any strength to move, and the giant kun that had lost too much blood had reached the end of its life.

Seeing that the giant kun was no longer able to move, the fleet that had been prepared for a long time immediately rushed up, tied the giant kun to a rope, held it up with a wooden barrel, and then rushed up the discharge boat, and hundreds of soldiers on twenty small boats quickly divided the giant kun.

The navy has no way to lift such a giant kun as a whole now, so it can only use the method of segmentation to quickly divide this giant kun into small pieces, and at the same time, when dividing this giant kun, it must also pay attention to the attacks of other predatory fish in the seawater.

Hundreds of people quickly divided this giant kun, and soon this huge kun was divided into hundreds of pieces of meat weighing more than 100 catties, and then sent to the big ship. The craftsmen on the big ships process the fish for the second time.

The meat is cleaned and cured with sea salt, the skin is peeled off and nitrated, and the fish oil is refined and then sealed in clay pots.

The remaining giant kun whiskers, giant kun bones, and even fish tendons were divided and preserved. Such a huge giant kun weighs dozens of tons, of which the giant kun oil alone weighs tens of thousands of catties, and the giant kun meat weighs hundreds of thousands of catties.

These giant kun oil can not only be used as lamp oil, but also edible, hundreds of thousands of catties of fish meat are enough for tens of thousands of sailors to eat for several months after being salted and nitrated.

A giant kun was quickly decomposed, and in the end, only some leftovers were thrown into the sea.

After successfully hunting a giant kun, the imperial navy continued to search the sea, and the fleet soon found another giant kun, and after successfully hunting the giant kun, the next fleet hunted the giant kun again.

The cooperation of the fleet became more and more tacit, and after the giant kun was hunted, the sailors quickly decomposed it, and a large amount of fish meat and fish oil were stored in the cabin.

After hunting two giant kuns in a row, the fleet did not continue to stay, and directly turned the bow of the ship and quickly returned to the sea. Although the fish has been salted, the climate at sea is not suitable for long-term storage, and the fish needs to be transported back as soon as possible.

The two giant kun provided hundreds of thousands of catties of fish meat and a large amount of fish oil, enough for hundreds of thousands of people. Although the meat quality of the giant kun is not very good, it is already difficult for the people of this era to have meat to eat.

More than 100,000 catties of fish oil were divided into several parts, one was transported to Luoyang and handed over to the royal family, and the other part of fish oil was handed over to Wang Yun for disposal. Because these fish oils are extremely flame-resistant, have no other taste, and have little smoke, many nobles and eunuchs compete to buy them, and the other part is sent to the barracks for soldiers to eat.

Fish oil is also sent to the Craftsman Prison to be used as lubricant.

As for those fish whiskers, they are made into bowstrings after being ravaged, and the giant kun whiskers are very tough, and they are not easy to deform, which is better than beef tendons. The skin of the giant kun was used to make leather armor and shields. The giant kun's skin is tough and difficult to injure with swords, and it is stronger than elephant and rhinoceros skin, and even leather armor.

Because the navy is at sea all the year round, the leather armor and rattan armor are more time in the environment here, and the last giant kun skeleton has also been transported to the agricultural college in Luoyang, the divine capital.
