起来 In the early morning the next day, Marin patted his sister-in-law Felice's PP and laughed:
"I didn't expect you, Felice, you are still a chick, your husband hasn't touched you?" Marin really didn't expect it. Felix, who looks fierce, turned out to be original. You know, Felice has been married for more than two years.
"My previous husband was a fool. I could n’t take care of myself when I ate and went to the toilet. Where did I know how to do that? I was arranged to marry him, in fact, to serve him as a servant for life ..." Felice said with a sullen expression. Then, it seemed to feel unwell and frowned.
"What's wrong?" Marin asked with concern. For Felice, Marin's mood is also very complicated. If Felice was a young woman, Marin wouldn't take her too seriously, and at most give material compensation. However, I didn't expect Felice to be the first time. Marin is not a kind of ruthless person. Although Felice is too wild, she decides to give more care and love. After all, Felice didn't want to be a wife, but she was a legal aunt.
"Uncomfortable below, brother-in-law, you are too frustrating, but I did this for the first time, and I don't know how distressed!" Felice said angrily. After all, Felice is only 17 years old, and her body is not fully open yet.
"How do I know? Last night you looked like a cannibalist, and thought you were a veteran, so you moved a little bit ..." Marin felt his nose and said helplessly. Mainly, stimulated by the nonsense novels about auntie and the like on the Internet in the previous life, Marin was wildly interested last night. Unexpectedly, Ferris, who was wild in appearance, turned out to be strong. So, make it bigger.
Ferris was pretending to be sick, but because she went too far last night, she was really "ill" now ...
Marin didn't want this to be known to others, so he went out early and mobilized the guards, then returned to the room himself, and took Felice back to the guest room. Fortunately, the original Orich palace was very small, and Felice's room was not far from Marin's bedroom, so there was nothing wrong. Then Marin called the maid and ordered him to take good care of Felice. After the explanation, Marin went to work in the office area in front of the palace ...
报告 A report submitted today has aroused great interest from Marin. What is this report? It turned out that Marin's whaling team, which he had planned before, was successfully formed. At the same time, the blacksmiths also developed whaling javelins in addition to Marin's requirements.
The whaling javelin is different from the ordinary javelin. The ordinary javelin only needs to be able to hit the target, and does not require the javelin to stay in the target. The whaling javelin requires that after the javelin is pierced into the body of the whale, the barb immediately rises, catching the body of the whale so that the whale cannot break free. Therefore, this requires a spring mechanism in the javelin head.
Although Da Vinci and others did not develop a standard spring steel, the quality of spring steel has been getting better and better after many tests. As a result, the craftsmen who used these spring steels that had not yet fully met the standards worked out the whaling javelin at Marin's request.
At the same time, the shipyard pulled out a small group of craftsmen to study the dinghy used to hunt the whales. Because the dinghy is connected to the whale javelin, after being hit, the whale will drag the whale javelin and the dinghy to escape and even dive. Therefore, the first requirement of a small boat is to be buoyant, and it is best not to be dragged into the water by a whale.
For this reason, Marin's opinion is to make multiple parts of the boat into a hollow structure, so that the boat has the greatest buoyancy. At the same time, the boat should be as wide as possible to prevent the whale from dragging the boat to do diagonal movements and overturn the boat.
大 Large buoyancy and difficult to capsize are the basic requirements for small boats. Of course, it is not difficult. At the shipyard, several small boats were made by using hollow wood.
After the whaling javelin and dinghy are ready, it is time to choose the brave fishermen. After all, whaling is also a game of wit and ingenuity for fishermen. Whaling fishermen need not only high-end marine fishing techniques, but also courage.
When whaling, when a whaling fisherman on a small boat finds that a whale is swimming, he will choose a brave man, holding a whaling javelin, jump from the bow of the boat, jump towards the whale, The whale javelin is inserted into the body of the whale fiercely, and the position is adjusted to catch the whale body as hard as possible.
Then, the whale dragged the whale javelin and the small boat to do intense sports on the ocean. The whale will desperately find a way to get rid of the whaling javelin stuck in its body. At this time, the whale is fighting for life, so the exercise is extremely intense. They would jump up and down, and even swim to the deep sea in an attempt to pull the boat into the sea.
At this time, the sailors and whales on the dinghy are needed to compete. They must not only ensure that the whale javelin cannot be pulled out of the body of the whale, but also do their best to control the boat and avoid sailing. Even if possible, a spare whale javelin will be used to give the whale another round to ensure that the whale cannot break free.
This process is very thrilling and requires the skill and calm handling of whaling fishermen. Carelessness can easily lead to capsizes or whale escapes.
The reason why I use a small boat instead of the fishing boat itself. It is because even if the boat overturns, the sailors can grab the boat and follow it. When the whale was exhausted, it was easy for several fishermen to turn the boat back.
If you use a fishing boat body, even if you encounter a large whale, even the fishing boat itself is easily overturned. When the fishing boat was turned over, it was a complete disaster. Because the cabin is flooded with water, it is easy to cause the fishing boat to sink.
Therefore, the early whalers would rather use small boats to catch whales than to use the fishing boats themselves. Only in later generations did heavy steel fishing vessels of steel structure and advanced equipment such as whaling cannons be used to tow whales with ease. Because, in the face of the huge steel whaling ship, the whale can't turn the waves.
Marin sent a group of 30 brave young fishermen among the Frisian fishermen to drive a fishing boat of more than 100 tons with two small boats and several whaling javelins and cables to test catch in the North Sea. The whale went.
未来 In the future, after Marin's occupation of Nantucket, he will definitely establish a whaling base there. With a whaling base, you can kill whales on a large scale and get whale oil and whale meat. These things are very important materials. Whale oil can be used as lighting oil for lighting, tanning, lubricating oil, and even candles. The whale meat, after salted, can be stored as food.
The most important thing is that the cost of whaling is low. As long as one whale is killed, you can get a large amount of whale meat and a large barrel of whale oil.
Moreover, whale meat tastes good, not as unpalatable as shark meat, it is said that it is similar to beef and mutton, and it is rich in nutrition, which is really a good food source.
The large amount of whale oil can also be used in large quantities because of its low cost. In addition to being used as kerosene, tanning, steelmaking, and candles, Marin values the high temperature resistance of whale oil as a lubricant.
In previous lives, Marin saw an article on the Internet that introduced the sperm whale oil before the world began to ban whaling widely in the 1970s. It was a very good high temperature resistant lubricating oil and was widely used in automatic Transmission oil (ATF for short). Automatic transmissions using whale oil seat oils rarely require ATF replacements, and vice versa.
温度 After the machine is started, the temperature must be very high. Because kinetic energy is easily converted into thermal energy. Ordinary animal fats and vegetable fats are easily oxidized under high temperature environment for a long time, and produce a large amount of sludge and acid substances, which damage the machinery itself.
The early steam engine was okay, because the speed was slow, and it could not produce too high temperature, and the effect of high temperature on lubricating oil could not be seen. By the time of the internal combustion engine, because of the greatly increased speed and the combustion of fuel in a closed high-pressure environment, it was very easy to generate a high temperature of several hundred. At this time, the requirements for high temperature resistance of the lubricant immediately appeared.
Even with low-speed steam engines that are not too hot, ordinary animal and plant lubricants are easily oxidized and need to be replaced frequently. But after changing to whale oil which is not easy to be oxidized at high temperature, the lubricating oil can be replaced for a long time.
Alas, whale oil is cheap. Just kill a whale, you can get a large bucket of whale oil, the cost is very low ...
Thinking of this, Marin quickly changed his mind and decided to give up obtaining castor oil from Egypt. The effect of whale oil is not worse than that of castor oil, and the cost is much lower. In comparison, it is better to use whale oil.
Moreover, in this era, the European whaling industry has not yet emerged, and there are many whales in the ocean. With the whaling team formed by Marin, it is difficult to kill whales below the danger line. Whales were mass-slaughtered only after the emergence of whaling guns and steel fishing boats. The whale cannon has a long range, fast speed, and a sight. It is difficult for the whale to escape the hunt. This kind of thing is the enemy of whales. The artificial whaling promoted by Marin is relatively inefficient. But even so, the whale meat and whale oil obtained by whaling are much more than enough. After all, this era is not yet the industrial era, and the demand for whale meat and whale oil is not great.
He Marin personally rushed to the port of Emden to meet the fishermen on a boat. Then, 30 fishermen on this fishing boat were sent by Marin to the North Sea to try to kill whales in accordance with Marin's "guidance".
For safety reasons, Marin advised them to start training by killing small whales at the beginning, and then become skilled at hunting medium-sized whales. Finally, wait until you are too skilled before considering killing large whales.
In fact, because there were few people whaling in this era, the number of small and medium-sized whales was also very large. Small and medium whales alone are enough for fishermen to kill ~ www.novelhall.com ~ There is no need to risk killing large whales.
Moreover, large whale bodies are too large to be dragged and handled. Unlike small and medium-sized whales, they are easier to handle and less prone to accidents.
Whale whales are basically foods of other fishes. Whales are bound to be found where there are many fish and shrimp. The Beihai region is one of the world's important fishing grounds. There are many fishes and there must be many whale predators here. Therefore, Marin is not worried that these fishermen will not encounter whales, only that they will not pass the skills. After all, whaling is really a demanding technical job ...
Waiting for the fishermen on this boat to become familiar with whaling, Marin felt that the routes to Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard were almost opened. At that time, Marin will organize more fishermen, give them to the earliest whaling fishermen to teach, and then send them to Nantucket Island for whaling.
Beihai area is a fishing ground shared by many countries after all, and there are many fishermen in various countries. As long as fishermen from other countries learn to whale, it will definitely affect the interests of Her Majesty's whaling boats.
The coast of North America is different. There are only Indians in canoes, and there are few fishers. Send your own fleet there, not only can you catch a lot of whales, but you can't catch common fish. As long as a fishing base is established there, not only can enough food for colonists in North America, but also fish can be processed into salted fish and shipped back to Europe as food supplements. In this way, East Frisian countries no longer have to worry about food issues. Moreover, there are endless whale oils used in various industries.
So this new whaling ship, although just beginning to try, has far-reaching significance in the future. As long as the attempt is successful, Marin will have endless whale oil and whale meat in the future, and he can quickly gain a foothold on the east coast of North America, and then expand inland ...

The artificial whaling promoted by Marin is relatively inefficient. But even so, the whale meat and whale oil obtained by whaling are much more than enough. After all, this era is not yet the industrial era, and the demand for whale meat and whale oil is not great.He Marin personally rushed to the port of Emden to meet the fishermen on a boat. Then, 30 fishermen on this fishing boat were sent by Marin to the North Sea to try to kill whales in accordance with Marin's "guidance".For safety reasons, Marin advised them to start training by killing small whales at the beginning, and then become skilled at hunting medium-sized whales. Finally, wait until you are too skilled before considering killing large whales.In fact, because there were few people whaling in this era, the number of small and medium-sized whales was also very large. Small and medium whales alone are enough for fishermen to kill ~ www.novelhall.com ~ There is no need to risk killing large whales.Moreover, large whale bodies are too large to be dragged and handled. Unlike small and medium-sized whales, they are easier to handle and less prone to accidents.Whale whales are basically foods of other fishes. Whales are bound to be found where there are many fish and shrimp. The Beihai region is one of the world's important fishing grounds. There are many fishes and there must be many whale predators here. Therefore, Marin is not worried that these fishermen will not encounter whales, only that they will not pass the skills. After all, whaling is really a demanding technical job ...Waiting for the fishermen on this boat to become familiar with whaling, Marin felt that the routes to Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard were almost opened. At that time, Marin will organize more fishermen, give them to the earliest whaling fishermen to teach, and then send them to Nantucket Island for whaling.Beihai area is a fishing ground shared by many countries after all, and there are many fishermen in various countries. As long as fishermen from other countries learn to whale, it will definitely affect the interests of Her Majesty's whaling boats.The coast of North America is different. There are only Indians in canoes, and there are few fishers. Send your own fleet there, not only can you catch a lot of whales, but you can't catch common fish. As long as a fishing base is established there, not only can enough food for colonists in North America, but also fish can be processed into salted fish and shipped back to Europe as food supplements. In this way, East Frisian countries no longer have to worry about food issues. Moreover, there are endless whale oils used in various industries.So this new whaling ship, although just beginning to try, has far-reaching significance in the future. As long as the attempt is successful, Marin will have endless whale oil and whale meat in the future, and he can quickly gain a foothold on the east coast of North America, and then expand inland ...
