Chapter 374 Marine Debris
In Port Dum, Lawrence came to the beach with his servants early in the morning.

There are countless lobsters here. Every morning after the sun rises, they crawl out from the bottom of the sea, like densely packed disgusting insects.

What's even more disgusting is that these bugs taste very bad. People in coastal areas hate eating these disgusting and unpalatable red shrimps.

Their taste makes some people feel physically uncomfortable, and eating them can shorten their lives.

It only took Salil half a minute to pick up a basket of about ten centimeters of red shrimp.

The rest of the people also picked up the bugs that had begun to emit a bad smell and threw them into the basket, just like picking up dried medicinal herbs.

If you are not worried about these bugs contaminating too much sand, you can actually sweep these sea garbage into the bag just like sweeping the floor.

Lawrence quickly said: "Try to pick up the red shrimp that are still alive."

Salil no longer wanted to pick up these things. The beach was emitting a bad smell.

"It's a good thing Khalan didn't come over, otherwise her nose would definitely be intolerable."

Lawrence didn't think about this problem. After being reminded by Sariel, he realized the connection between these red shrimps and Kharan.

Shrimps and crabs in the sea feed on plankton or small fish and shrimps.

Or maybe there are corpses, dead fish, sea vegetables and other debris.

The kelp community created by Kehalan a few years ago has completely disappeared, and has been eaten up by a large number of fish, shrimps, marine animals, and seabirds.

The large number of red shrimps washed up on the beach in front of us are indeed related to Kehalan.

These gadgets are indeed rubbish in this era. The lobsters Lawrence feeds his slaves every day are boiled shrimps without any seasoning.

The most you can do is give them some garlic, a bite of shrimp meat and a clove of garlic.

Simply boiled shrimp will definitely not taste good, as it smells very fishy. In addition, it is impossible for slaves to eat freshly boiled shrimp. Many of them are cooked in the morning and left over to eat at noon.

Even dogs don’t eat these things.

Sea crabs are more annoying than sea shrimps, especially the large ones. If you lose them, you won’t want to eat them.

Delicious food in the future does not mean that it will bloom in this era, and there is no way Lawrence can make lobsters and crabs become supreme delicacies in this era.

Salil and the others would rather eat pancakes and seaweed.

Lawrence suspected that people in the ice zone and the seaside had a kind of inhibition. The sight of shrimps and crabs made them sick to their stomachs. It seemed that only those who did not eat these survived.

Lawrence looked around and noticed the distress on the faces of the nearby fishermen, women and soldiers.

In order to appease these people, Lawrence said: "These dead shrimps can be composted to make waste materials, or they can be burned directly."

Composting requires manpower and material resources, digging pits, and transporting it to places far away from water sources and living areas.

Nowadays, manpower and material resources are so tight, how can we have time to do this?

Besides, there are better fertilizers out there, so using this difficult-to-use fertilizer is a waste of time.

"Yes! Prophet!" Everyone worked significantly faster.

If the red shrimp on this beach are not treated in time, the odor will last for a long time, which is an absolute disaster for the residents living nearby.

Rao, the fisherman captain, suggested to Lawrence: "Prophet, we can transport these bugs by boat to the deep sea and throw them away."

Lawrence felt it was not advisable, "That would be washed up by the sea water."

Rao explained carefully: "Only a small part will rush up. The seaside here is very long. I guarantee there should be only a little."

The seawater does not just float to one side. These red shrimps thrown into the deep sea will be swept into deeper seas with the current, or scattered in all directions.

Even if part of it is washed back by the current, it cannot all be washed away accurately. It may be in the nearby sea cliffs and rocky beach areas.

"Okay, then throw it into the sea."

Lawrence also felt that this was more appropriate, otherwise digging holes for burial and burning would waste a lot of manpower.

There should be hundreds of tons of red shrimp on this beach, which is the food of several giant whales in a day.

Soon the fishermen began to use leaky wooden baskets to dump the garbage in the water onto the boats, and more than a dozen small boats were soon filled with boatloads of red garbage.

Sariel quickly poured the shrimps in the basket onto the ground, "Khalan will feel uncomfortable seeing these things. We can't hurt her like this."

Lawrence looked at Salil's serious expression and thought, "You didn't think about it like this when you ate oranges before."

Salil obviously didn't want to eat it.Lawrence doesn’t really like eating shrimps and crabs, but he just thinks that many things can be reused and turned into treasures.

But after being reminded by those around him, Lawrence quickly admitted his mistake.

Sometimes waste is waste. At this stage, these shrimps and crabs are all marine cockroaches, a group of disgusting bugs.

This time I didn’t come here to eat shrimps, but to compete to see whose boat control skills were better.

Lawrence sent forty ships to Flying Fish Harbor to transport goods such as agricultural tools and wood eggs, as well as newborn chicks and adult hens, as well as large quantities of salt and grain.

This time, these ships are not required to line up to Feiyu Port, but are allowed to sail at full speed on their own, and through competition and competition, they will find the fastest captain.

Ships of the same type and a group of the same type, otherwise it is difficult to compare.

Lawrence allowed these men not to work in the fields and workshops, allowed them to control the ships as they pleased, and allowed them to be secluded from society.

Compared to the pirates who relied on clippers for their meals, Lawrence hoped that these people would be more professional in driving and controlling the ships.

To this end, Lawrence is willing to support them with money and food to continue this technological improvement.

After waiting at the beach for more than an hour, the fleet that had set out for three days began to return one after another.

The first team back in a 20-meter dhow quickly landed on the beach.

Their ship has a very shallow draft and is a regular pirate ship. It can quickly land on the beach to fight. It can also use the power of the sail oar to quickly approach normal ships and distance itself to escape.

The captain is a bald man, 27 or [-] years old, with a black beard.

Akda quickly knelt on the beach and saluted, "Prophet, was our ship the first to arrive?"

Lawrence smiled at the Valkyrie.

"Yes, Akda, your team is the first to arrive. I will give you and your sailors a barrel of ale each and a reward of one hundred copper coins each."

"And as the captain, you will be rewarded with a new piece of clothing."

Akda and the sailors who came behind him and knelt down one after another quickly thanked him.

"Thank you, prophet of mercy!"

Lawrence plans to form a professional special attack fleet and must prepare it from now on.

"Akda, take your comrades to unload the cargo on the ship, and then go to the tavern to relax."

"Yes! Prophet!" Akda responded excitedly.

Lawrence hasn't finished speaking yet, "Starting from tomorrow, you and your friends can sail this boat and continue to improve your driving skills at sea."

"You can also ask other captains and experienced sailors for advice on how to run faster. Not only you, but other captains or capable people can continue to use these ships."

"I hope you can find problems on the ship that were discovered in previous voyages, improve the ship and technology, or talk more about the ship's problems with people at the shipyard."

Lawrence looked towards the sea in the distance.

"I see that there will be a sea battle in the future. Whoever's ship can defeat more enemies will get the honor."

"Whether he is a sailor or a captain, whether he is a combat team, a logistics team, or a driving team, as long as he works hard to improve himself and makes contributions on the future battlefield, he will become a lord or even a baron."

Hierarchy is something that exists in every dynasty and every generation.

Military rank, title, professional title, official rank, grade... In short, a superior-subordinate relationship must be determined.

All history has proven the effectiveness of this system.

In normal times, various competitions and rewards only award monetary honors, while meritorious services in wartime will only award titles.

Because the army is now more important, dozens of times more important than craftsmen and farmers.

Lawrence said harsh words, if you want to obtain the title of nobility and become a baron, then go and fight for me! !
There is currently only one baron in the domain.

Baron of Crete of the Valkyries, the only baron still alive.

People like Fleiss, Beow, Gris, and Andrew are just ordinary leaders and do not have real baron titles.

Baron Rodney and Baron Durand are both barons of Sidel, not barons of the Kingdom of Stars.

Soon the Valkyries, Pumixiu, Sidels, and the newly joined Wave Kingdom prisoners and water people were all preparing for war as feverishly as if they were full of blood.
