1694. Whale Saddle (4/10, again
After getting into the taxi, Qin Shiou gave the driver an address, then collapsed in the back seat and shook his head.
As a result, the driver looked at him through the rearview mirror while driving. After a while, he suddenly said, "Hello, Mr. Qin, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Ronnie. My friends call me the fast driver Ronnie. My father has a nickname, called Ocean Dog Ronnie..."
Qin Shiou said with a thumb, "Don't tell me, your father is an ocean treasure hunter."
The driver nodded happily and said, "Yes, yes, he is the treasure hunter in the ocean..."
Qin Shiou almost spurted out an old blood, and the driver asked him with a smile: "Do you know my dad? My dad's guys all say he is very famous in your industry."
"My industry is fish farming, not treasure hunting. Thank you, I discovered the black axe shipwreck by chance." Qin Shiou was helpless. Everyone is now eyeing the treasure hunting of the ocean. Although this is a way to make a fortune quickly, this road is obviously not available.
In fact, the St. Johns were not only stimulated by the Black Axe Pirate's shipwreck, but also the Jack Giuliano incident also stimulated them. Giuliano was interviewed in the hospital and he swore that there were billions of dollars in gold and cultural relics and antiques in his ship, which were the results of his marine salvage over the years.
These two things are combined to stimulate the local fishermen like this.
When he arrived at the Vikings Ocean Fishery Merchant Store, Qin Shiou threw the driver fifty Canadian dollars and said he didn't need to find it, and then he rolled and crawled. The driver kept chattering all the way, but it scared him.
These people are going crazy, and he feels that the driver looks at him like a bunch of gold.
When he arrived at Reyek's territory, he couldn't be clean. People kept saying hello to him: "Hi, Boss Qin, have you found any shipwrecks recently? The boss asked me to take him, I'm good at diving! Qin, why are you buying a wooden saddle? Do you want to ride a whale to salvage?"
Qin Shiou shrugged helplessly, and waved to Reyek when he saw him, "Take me to take away the wooden saddle, I can't stay here anymore."
Reyek said slowly: "Don't worry, Qin. Do you know that I have Viking blood, right?"
Qin Shiou saw him sticking out his butt and knew what he wanted to fart, and said, "I am not interested in the shipwreck of your Viking ancestors at all, and I don't have that ability either!"
Seeing that his purpose was discovered, Reyek laughed and drove him to the airport.
This time, there were two sets of wooden saddles he bought, each of which was 24,000 Canadian dollars, and the price was not low. Reyek explained to him that these two sets of whale saddles were handmade and were handmade fine products.
This is the case in Canada. When something is involved in handmade production, its value will increase immediately. Now this is also beginning in China. Things produced by machine assembly lines are no longer valuable, and things produced by hand are called works of art.
Both sets of whale saddles were packed in boxes, and they could be disassembled and installed, and they were composed of several parts. Qin Shiou went to the airport to verify that the two whale saddles were not missing parts, and the business was completed by signing and paying the money.
He hired a large flatbed truck to haul two sets of whale saddles to the dock. Qin Shiou was once again surrounded by fishermen as stars. Nelson and Bird had to hold hands and make a human wall.
After the whale saddle was hung on the fishing boat, Qin Shiou immediately drove away. St. Johns couldn't stay. The fishermen were crazy about money and wanted to follow him to get rich overnight.
When he sent the whale saddle to the fishing ground, he summoned the fishermen to disassemble and install it. Reyek smiled and went to help. This process was not difficult. The whale saddle was similar to a saddle, but it was larger in shape and was generally used to tie it to the back of a whale, because whales are more streamlined than horses. Therefore, a set of whale saddles are mainly about being stuck and can be stuck on the whale.
Since the Middle Ages, there has been a tradition of taming whales in Northern Europe. At that time, naval battles were fought by two ships on the side. Seeing that the Norwegian King's Navy flagship that Qin Shiou caught at that time had a very powerful collision angle. At that time, warships had collision angles and collided with each other first. If the ship did not sink, then the battle station would start.
Just as the Indians are taming elephants to fight, some small Nordic countries have also begun to tame whales to fight. So there is a whale saddle. One advantage of whale combat is that it is elusive. As long as people ride whales and hide underwater, they can suddenly appear and act as a surprise attack.
However, just like elephant combat, whales are not suitable for fighting. Most whales are very gentle sea beasts. They will subconsciously drill into the deep sea after being stimulated by flames, sounds, and killing.
Of course, whales can go to the deep sea, can the knights? If the knights don’t let go, it will be miserable. If they take them to the deep sea together, even Jesus’ disciples will have to kneel down; and if they let go, the whales will run to the deep sea and will not come back obediently.
In this way, whales and navy only existed for a short time in history and did not leave them behind. However, related training methods have been passed down. Some people have tamed whales to deliver goods and work, while others have tamed them to help find large fish.
After more than an hour, the first whale saddle was assembled and then prepared to be delivered to the sea. This transportation is also a problem. Fortunately, it has a drifting island, which just accommodates the whale saddle. This way, it is enough to drag the plastic drifting island with a boat to find sperm whales.
Reyek asked with a look of suspicion: "Can your sperm whales carry whale saddles with peace of mind? I saw some of the whale breeding in marine parks, and they all started with small whales."
Qin Shiou was full of confidence in this regard, patted her chest and said, "It must be no problem, let's see if I see it."
Sperm whales float up to bask in the sun every noon, which is rare in natural conditions because they have too big appetite and are constant temperature to dissipate heat, so they need to keep exercising and predating.
Even in relatively colder waters, sperm whales must exercise all day long to increase their metabolic rate and generate calories so that they can maintain their body temperature. In winter, sperm whales in the North Atlantic cannot be completely still when they sleep, and their sleep time is short.
The food in the fishing ground is very abundant. Sperm whales only need to open their mouths and wait every day to eat, so that they have plenty of rest time. What should they do when they rest? It is naturally sunbathing, which can not only absorb heat and maintain body temperature, but also rest, so why not?
This is true for both wild beasts and sea beasts. If you can move less, you will move less. It is not laziness, but they need to maintain sufficient physical strength to deal with some possible dangers in natural states.
After the yacht is out, it is not difficult to find a sperm whale. Wherever there is a column of water spraying out to the front of the left at an angle of about 45 degrees, there will be traces of a sperm whale. (To be continued.)
