Riding and chopping: Overlord of the Han and Hungarians

234 Chapter 232, Gray Whale

"This fish is really big."

"Yeah, this one bite can swallow several people."

"."

Before Zhang Qi and their ships docked.

The sound of watching the bustle on the shore was already buzzing.

Everyone was pointing at the whale that had already been pulled into the harbor halfway.

The bell on the boat was hung up and rang.

Seeing a boat arriving at the port, the people around scattered inwards, but did not leave, still watching the wharf laborers pulling the fish.

The head of the huge whale is covered with wounds, and there are several wounds on the back, which are larger than the one on the head.

It was shot with a crossbow, and now the crossbow has been taken out, but it is not difficult to imagine that the two crossbows hit the whale at the beginning. The crossbow rope connected to the buoy has not allowed the whale to dive, and the whale was exhausted little by little. The strength, was finally killed by the spear.

Two guards disembarked quickly to welcome Zhang Qi.

Dressed in a green shirt, with his long hair tightly bound by a wooden hairpin and a crown, Zhang Qi stepped onto the board and got off the boat.

Behind him, Shirahoshi's eyes never left the whale beside him, their eyes were shining brightly.

"What a big Kun!"

"Fish, it's fish!"

Zhang Qi reminded again, Bai Xing nodded, and didn't have the slightest intention to correct it.

The sea port in Liaodong is his territory, Zhang Qi waved his hand to let the guards not be so nervous.

"Just do whatever you want."

"promise."

The captain of the guard agreed, and then let the guards disperse a little.

"Your Majesty!"

"I have seen Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty is safe."

See Zhang Qi getting off the boat.

The port workers who watched the excitement around the whale, Xiu Mu's navy, and family members all saluted Zhang Qi.

smile.

A warm expression.

Zhang Qi waved his hand and said, "I'm also here to watch the fun, let's go together."

"Hahaha, quickly make room for your majesty."

"Spread out, spread out, don't squeeze so close."

"."

Everyone giggled and moved away.

Zhang Qi led the people over.

He was dragged onto the concrete floor of the port by the laborers.

The whole picture of this whale is fully revealed.

The head is slightly pointed, there are small protrusions at the skull, the dorsal fin is very small, and there are only two or three protrusions at the front end of the tail.

It's a gray whale.

Zhang Qi recognized it.

"Your Majesty."

It wasn't until the gray whale was completely dragged ashore from the water that the port officials in charge of directing the laborers had time to come to greet them.

Zhang Qi nodded to him: "Thank you."

After receiving Zhang Qi's words of hard work, the official's face flushed with excitement.

Wiping the sweat off his face vigorously, he returned to work.

"Your Kun is coming up, go and measure the length yourself."

Zhang Qi smiled and looked sideways at Bai Xing.

The latter couldn't wait a long time ago, and immediately ran over, took out the prepared tools from the package, and measured the gray whale's length with a guard.

Seeing this, the butchers who had already prepared on the other side were not in a hurry to go forward to dismember it.

Hunting whales is an attempt, Zhang Qi doesn't think it's cruel.

Humans are animals that exist for profit, and he is no exception, and he has also set the rules for hunting whales.

Female whales with calves are not caught.

Young whales are not caught.

Whales that live in groups and number fewer than four are not caught.

Wait, wait, there are many more.

Among them, no more than [-] whale entries of the same species can be caught each year, and hunting can only be carried out in this sea area again every three years.

Reasonable request Zhang Qi thinks it is feasible.

Whale is a good source of fat.

The fat content of a whale is close to half of its body weight. Take the gray whale in front of us as an example. Although it has not been weighed yet, but in terms of [-] tons, this gray whale can produce [-] catties of fat.

This is still a small gray whale. If it were a blue whale, its weight of [-] tons could produce [-] tons of fat.

It is no wonder that in later generations, whales will be hunted by Europeans and endangered.

Big oil producer.

A blue whale is equivalent to one or two thousand pigs.

Ancient.

Grease is in high demand.

Whether it is eating, using, or lighting, grease is inseparable.

Moreover, Zhang Qi's eyes are small, the biggest function of whale blubber is to extract glycerin, which is incomparable to creatures like pigs, cattle and sheep.

Although the role of blubber is still in a series of life such as lighting and lubrication, but if it is not guaranteed, one day Zhang Qi will play big on a whim.

The gunpowder research in the world of riding and hacking has already started. Black powder, yellow powder, and detonators are the technologies he knows that can be improved step by step.

As long as you dare to sacrifice your life, you will always gain something.

"My lord! This kun is 14 meters long!"

Bai Xing ran back with a face full of excitement, interrupting Zhang Qi's thinking. Without the calmness of the past, Zhang Qi actually liked this kind of Bai Xing more, lively, just like those in the campuses of later generations. students as well.

"Fish! This is a fish, and this kind of fish is not too big, 14 meters. If I remember correctly, it is almost the limit of male gray whales. Females are longer, and can grow to fifteen or sixteen meters."

He took the trouble to correct again.

Looking at the butchers who had already started cutting, he said calmly: "This is considered small. If it is a blue whale, 30 meters and [-] tons, it is called a giant, and it is more in line with Kun's description."

Bai Xing opened his mouth slightly, and looked at Zhang Qi in disbelief. In her opinion, a fish that was thirteen or four meters long was already big enough. She didn't expect that there were fish that could grow to 30 meters long in the sea.

What kind of creature should that be?

After watching the butcher dismember the gray whale for a while, Zhang Qi called a few guards. Although he didn't know much about whales, he still had some knowledge based on the information age of the big explosion.

He came to the port of Liaodong Bay this time, on the one hand to relax, and on the other hand to see the appearance of the Yinshan silver ingots. This is the first time that the silver ingots have been sent back since they were put into production there.

Naturally, the silver transport ship will not dock in the open port area where ships come and go frequently.

They have special berths, and they are guarded and escorted by the navy at the naval barracks.

The port of Liaodong Bay is not small. Zhang Qi asked the port officials to fetch a few horses, and it took less than 10 minutes to reach the naval barracks area.

After handing over his token, Zhang Qi entered the naval barracks under the excited eyes of the navy on duty.

The barracks is huge, but there are only about [-] people left behind. The navy, most of the time is floating at sea, and those who stay on land are usually during the rotation period.

"See you, Your Majesty!"

Upon receiving the news, several left-behind captains came in a hurry. The navy's armor was light, without armor, and the style was the blue and white suit designed by Zhang Qi.

"Get up and go to the silver ship."

"promise!"

Following these lieutenants, Zhang Qi came to the coast of the Navy. There are no guns in the gun towers, but there are eight ox crossbows inside.

There are also naval guards inside.

And outside the port, on a reef floating out of the sea, a lighthouse was built there to point out the direction for the returning navy.

"A ship weighs [-] catties, and there are four ships loaded in total, all of which are here."

The captain led Zhang Qi.

Zhang Qin let out a hum, and asked the guards to open them one by one.

A bright white light flashed, and the bright silver lay quietly in a box filled with hay and cloth.

Eye-catching.
