Li Yuan's words represent everyone's understanding of the ocean in this era.

Due to the limitations of technology, people today have little access to the open sea.

Many large marine organisms rarely come close to inhabited offshore waters.

As a result, there are very few records of large marine creatures in historical sources.

And the capture of this whale can fill the gap in this regard.

Due to the size of this whale, it is so big.

Therefore, Li Zhi decided to decompose it directly on the beach by the sea.

It's a pity that the whale has been stuck with too many arrows.

As a result, the whale's skin suffered severe damage.

But even so, Li Zhi still asked Su Lie and the others to try their best to ensure the integrity of the fish skin when they started.

Since this is the first time that such a huge fish has been broken down, everyone who has their hands on it appears to be cautious.

Su Lie also specially invited a few fishermen who had killed big fish to give them guidance to the sailor soldiers.

Li Yuan watched for a while and then left here with a sigh on his face.

And Li Zhi generously put the people outside into the sailor camp after Li Yuan left, so that they could witness this historic moment together.

The beach next to the military port was crowded with curious people.

They witnessed the whale being decomposed.

Li Zhi asked people to prepare a large amount of ice cubes.

Everything that was cut was frozen with ice.

Li Zhi himself saw decomposed whale meat for the first time.

He curiously looked around a piece of fish for a long time, and found that it was very similar to beef.

However, the fishy smell of the fish is very pungent, and Li Zhi judged that this should affect some taste.

Fish liver, fish intestines, fish bones and fish oil were all left behind by Li Zhi.

He was going to hand these things over to Li Su and take someone to study them.

He doesn't know much about this, only that fish oil seems to have good chemical and pharmaceutical value.

By the time it was almost dark, the whole whale was finally about to decompose.

Su Lie came to Li Zhi's side and asked, "What should Your Highness do with so much fish and meat?" ”

Li Zhi opened his mouth and said, "Give it to all the soldiers in Guangzhou City." ”

After listening to Li Zhi's words, Su Lie immediately said happily: "Thank you, Your Highness, brothers of the last general. ”

Li Zhi scolded with a smile: "You ran over and asked this king, isn't that what you mean?" Hurry up and get out of the way for this king. ”

Although this whale is very large, the decomposed fish meat is tens of thousands of catties.

These fish and meat were distributed among all the soldiers in Guangzhou City, and each person could get one or two catties.

It's just enough for everyone to try it out together, and it's also a reward for them.

Through this whaling, the soldiers of the sailors can be regarded as having the experience of the first battle at sea.

This will be a huge help for their future training.

Many are even looking forward to seeing whales again.

They believe that they will definitely play better next time.

Li Zhi just smiled at their thoughts.

It is important to know that whales rarely appear in areas of human activity, and even when they do, they rarely attack humans.

This whale will take the initiative to attack Datang's battleship, and I don't know what stimulated it.

Li Zhi brought a little fish meat to Ruan Hongxi, and he himself took a large piece of fish fin to marinate it and roast it.

Li Zhi hadn't had a chance to enjoy this thing before, so he could only think of this simple way to eat it for the time being.

The fact that the Tang Sailor was able to catch such a huge whale was definitely a powerful deterrent to those foreign businessmen.

Regardless of the fact that their country now has a large fleet to and fro the seas.

But doing so is an almost impossible task.

First, because their ships are generally not big, they can't withstand the toss of whales at all.

The second is that they don't have any weapons against whales.

Don't look at the giant crossbow used by Xue Li and the others when they shot whales, it seems that it is very troublesome to use.

But it was the most powerful weapon Li Zhi could think of before the real explosives were developed.

The crossbow arm of the Megabow is made of manganese steel, which is extremely elastic.

The elastic force produced is enough to shoot a heavy arrow of several hundred catties out more than a hundred meters.

The large crossbow arm makes it impossible to pull away with bare hands.

Therefore, Li Zhi equipped it with a special winch to pull the bowstring.

Nowadays, other countries still have extremely low production of ordinary steel, let alone this alloy steel?

If anyone tries to attack a whale with an ordinary bow and arrow, he is simply looking for death.

The skin and fat of whales can reach a thickness of forty or fifty centimeters.

An ordinary bow and arrow can't even break through the defense.

In such a comparison, how can the achievements of the Datang Sailor not be frightening?

For this unexpected gain, Li Zhi didn't have much to pay attention to.

He is now practicing various ball games with a group of sailor warriors.

After Pei Mingli sent the produced footballs and basketballs, Li Zhi seized the time to let Su Lie open up a special court in the camp of the water division.

Now as long as he has time, he will come here to teach the soldiers of the water master.

These sports can help them pass a lot of boring time.

In this way, these people can be cut off from gambling.

What Li Zhi is most grateful for now is the rich extracurricular activities in college.

This gave him plenty of time to get in touch with these sports.

Under Li Zhi's teaching, these people made rapid progress.

In just one month, it was already possible to fight in groups.

Li Zhi asked Su Lie and several other generals to lead a team to play one game every day.

Whether it's football, basketball or volleyball, as long as it's the losing team, it's the responsibility to wash the socks for the winning team.

In this way, everyone will practice harder, after all, no one's feet smell bad after a day of training.

Li Zhi also built several sites in the city of Guangzhou.

Although he didn't have time to instruct, he was able to get the sailors' warriors to come over and play an exhibition match from time to time to arouse the enthusiasm of the people.

As long as someone starts to be willing to try, they can slowly influence more people.

When the time comes, some professional clothing and equipment will be launched, and a new industry will soon be formed.

In this way, there will definitely be people who will follow suit, and it won't be long before Li Zhi can make a lot of money by selling production equipment and raw materials.

These industries involve not only clothing, shoes and hats, but also leather, rubber and so on.

And none of them are industries that are familiar and monopolized by those big families.

As a result, they lose their voice in these industries.

If you want to make money, you have to compete fairly with others.

The main thing is that once they put their hands into these industries, then they will be controlled by Li Zhi in the future.

If anyone dares to go against Li Zhi in the future, Li Zhi will be able to cut off his supply.
