Chapter 1450

PS: today is Thanksgiving. Thank you for your support and for accompanying our fishing ground all the way! In addition, I hope friends who like this book can support the genuine version as much as possible. After all, this is the only income of the author. Thank you!

The water column ejected by the Arctic right whale is V-shaped. The water pressure is very strong. It can eject five or six meters high, like two fountains.

After one right whale ejected a water column, other right whales also followed suit and began to eject a water column. One of them happened to be next to the melon princess, and the water spray could be scattered on the ship!

Winnie sprinkled these fish segments in batches. Right whales are big bellied and haven't eaten enough. They leaned out after looking for no fish segments in the water. This time, they didn't just peep, but half their heads stretched out.

"Wow, what a greedy bunch of guys." Winnie smiled. She waved and shouted, "bye, guys, there's no food. You're going to hunt by yourself!"

The right whale was unable to stand upright in the water for too long. Later, when it was tired, it successively drilled back into the water. At this time, the melon Princess continued to drive towards the north.

After driving for a long time, the sea monster in the cab came out and said with a smile: "from the fish detector, these guys are still following us."

Shaq exclaimed, "how is it possible that the swimming speed of right whales is very slow. They can't keep up with our fishing boat!"

The sea monster shrugged and said, "maybe they just had enough to eat and drink and burst out with great strength? But they are following. If you don't believe it, go to the cab. "

Qin Shiou also felt incredible. The swimming speed of the right whale was very slow and couldn't keep up with the ship traveling at the speed of 40 or 50 kilometers per hour, so he guessed that the bodyguards in the water were too close.

Sure enough, when Poseidon consciousness entered the water, the giant demon and black overlord were speeding up their swimming like the game. He quickly controlled them and gave orders to the sea Python behind them to dive deep and radiate outward.

The colder the weather gets to the north, Qin Shiou was still interested in blowing the sea breeze outside and teasing tigers, leopards, bears and wolves. After entering the Labrador Sea area, he lost his interest and basked outside at noon at most.

When Qin Shiou was idle, he constantly released the Sea God consciousness. After entering the Red Bay in the Labrador Sea area, a sunken ship more than 20 meters long appeared at the bottom of the sea.

Seeing the sunken ship, Qin officials were inspired. It was a three masted sailboat. It looked like a large wooden ship commonly used in the 15th and 6th centuries. The bow had a collision angle and a family badge, which was a bit like a treasure ship.

But looking closer, he found that there were four small wooden boats at the rotten and broken tail of the ship, which should not be a treasure ship.

In order to prevent the crew from stealing or robbing the treasure from the ship, the treasure ship will not take so many small boats, but the whaling ship operates like this.

After entering the cabin, Qin Shiou was startled. He entered for several corpses. Because the Labrador Sea area is cold all year round, these corpses are closed in the cabin, there are few bacteria, and there is no decay. They maintain the appearance of dehydrated corpses, which looks very terrible.

There are many kinds of corpses at the bottom of the sea, some will rot, and some will swell due to seawater immersion. However, if the latter kind of corpses do not rot for a long time, they will dehydrate with the cell death and under the internal and external density difference, which is what they will eventually look like.

The dehydrated dead body is the most terrible thing Qin Shiou knows. Because of the strong muscle spasm, the expression of these bodies looks very ferocious, and even their facial features are crowded together or can't distinguish them.

In the cabin next door, he found two big boxes sealed tightly, which made him look forward to it. Will there be any treasure in them?

As a result, he stirred up the waves, the rotten box easily broke, and all the bones fell out of it! And look at the skull, it's clearly a human bone!

But it doesn't make sense. Qin Shiou is surprised that the body next door is dehydrated. How can the body in this box rot so thoroughly?

There was nothing to explore. He didn't think about it if he didn't think clearly. He continued to look for it. As a result, he found that there were many large oak barrels piled up in the cabin. One of them was broken and found that it was a solidified oil like object.

In this way, he determined the ship, which is a whaling ship. The oil should be whale oil.

The Labrador Sea area was once an important base for Basque whaling. In the 15th and 6th centuries, tens of thousands of right whales lived in this sea area. Since then, through continuous extinction culling, the right whales here have become endangered.

According to Qin Shiou, during the peak period at the end of the 16th century and the whaling season, more than 2000 whalers lived in the Red Bay area and produced 500000 gallons of whale oil for profit.

At that time, whale oil was a valuable item, which could be used for lighting, lubrication, and as an additive to drugs, soap and asphalt. Whale oil with spices was the favorite fuel of European nobles in the 16th century.

After the Basques caught whales in the red bay to refine fish oil, as long as they were sold to Europe through a month's ocean voyage, the price of a 55 gallon barrel of whale oil could be as high as $10000 today.

So for the Basque people, the discovery of the right whale reserve in Labrador is tantamount to the discovery of gold.

But for Qin officials, it was useless. After careful search, he found that the only valuable things in the ship were barrels of whale oil in the cabin and a box found in the closed cabin.

The box was sealed by whale oil, so although I don't know what's in it, Qin Shiou estimated that it should be well preserved.

He wanted to open it, but considering that the owner of the box sealed it with whale oil, the things in it were obviously afraid of water, so he found the giant demon and asked it to suck the box with the suction cup on its tentacle, and then come out of the water to see it again.

With the box, Qin Shiou reluctantly left. Whale oil has no value now. Whale oil has a better substitute for lighting or lubricating oil.

In this way, he took back Poseidon's consciousness, subconsciously sighed, and Wayne looked at him strangely and asked, "what happened? You seem very depressed? "

Qin Shiou said, "I've been at sea for too long and haven't found a suitable catch. I'll inevitably be frustrated."

When things reach their extremes, they go all the way north. After replenishing at Burwell port, they leave the Labrador Sea and enter Baffin Island, one of the coldest areas in Canada.

Through the hall peninsula of Baffin Island, it enters the Davis Strait. At this time, across the Strait, Canada and Greenland can look at each other from a distance.

When they arrived at this place, the temperature also dropped below zero. Their reservation was to cross the Davis Strait to ilulisat ice Bay. As a result, when the fishing boat arrived at the port of ATU island for supply, Qin Shiou accidentally found that there were a large number of emperor crabs living in this sea area!
