Daming One Piece

Chapter 66 Whale (first update, please recommend, please collect)
Want to find schools of fish in the sea.The easiest way is to follow some markers, such as seabirds!
Flocks of seabirds swooped down from time to time, obviously there was only one possibility—there was a large school of fish!

Although he has never hunted whales, Shi Yiwen is also a loyal fan of documentaries. He has watched documentaries like Blue Planet more than once.

In those documentaries, such images are clearly described.That spectacular scene is still fresh in my memory.

"There are so many seabirds rushing down to catch fish to eat, probably because something in the sea drove the fish to the surface..."

Recalling the documentaries he had watched, Shi Yiwen said to himself.

Under normal circumstances, no school of fish will stay on the water surface for a long time. They usually swim at a depth of more than ten meters or even tens of meters underwater to avoid seabirds.Seabirds gathered on the sea surface to catch fish. It must be that something under the water was rounding up the fish school, and the fish school was driven to the surface.

What could it be?

Just as Shi Yiwen was recalling the documentaries he had watched and was about to pick up the binoculars, suddenly, he saw a column of water rise up on the surface of the sea!
The water column is as high as tens of meters.

With the rise of that column of water, Shi Yiwen instantly understood what was driving the fish away!
It's a whale!
whale!

Staring at the sea surrounded by seabirds, Shi Yiwen's heart skipped a beat and he shouted loudly.

"Sea, sea, hoist the sails! Let's go to sea and see..."

When calling Fang Dahai, he suddenly had another idea.Rather than waiting here now, it is better to take advantage of the current gap and go to sea to hunt whales. Whales can not only bring enough meat to everyone, but also have higher economic value.

The sea where the seabirds gathered was only about two miles away from the coast. As the birds got closer and closer, Shi Yiwen's heart also started beating wildly.Although they have not been seen on the sea, there are more than one jets of water ejected by whales.

One, two, three...

It's a whale!
And it's a school of whales!

"Hahahaha... Dahai, we got rich, we got rich!"

Following his shout, a whale suddenly jumped out of the sea, and then fell heavily, causing a burst of white waves on the sea.

This is a whale that is bigger than a boat.

"My goodness!"

Fang Dahai stared at the giant whale in astonishment.

"What? Get rich, get rich, Master, what are you talking about?"

Obviously, he hasn't realized how to get rich.

"Whaling, let's go whaling!"

what!
whaling?

"Master, such a big fish is bigger than a boat..."

Before Fang Dahai could finish speaking, Mo said in horror.

"My lord, no, you can't catch them."

Mo Na said nervously, until then, Shi Yiwen didn't notice that his face was full of fear.

"Why can't you catch it?"

"My lord, this, this kind of big fish is not something that humans can catch. In the tribe, there are boats that have been crushed by it. It is said that he can eat a boat in one bite. My lord, they are too big. Just look at them." Like hills, people cannot beat them!"

Mona's tone was full of fear, he was really afraid of big fish!
Even if he dared to face the black bear and dare to fight with the black bear, but he did not dare to face the whale. After all, it is too huge. Their five or six-meter-long canoe made of logs, don’t It is said that the whale is provoked, even if it is scratched a little, the boat will capsize easily.It is also because of this that they have a deep-seated fear of whales.

"Oh, it's okay, it's okay, it's just a whale, there is no prey that people can't beat..."

Shi Yiwen laughed loudly.

In fact, Shi Yiwen never thought that he would encounter whales, but he had read some information on the Internet. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, some fishermen did catch whales with whaling guns, and the number of whales along the coast of China is not abundant.

But who knows?
Perhaps it is because ancient Chinese fishermen regarded whales as giants and did not dare to hunt them. You must know that in the 19th century, American whaling ships sailed all the way to Japan and sailed to the Yellow Sea and the South China Sea to hunt whales. Because of the overfishing of those Yankees in modern times.

In any case, where is the group of whales now?
It is clearly a meat dish delivered to your door!

Wealth delivered to your door!

"My lord, no, people can't mess with whales!"

Facing Mo Na's persuasion, Shi Yiwen laughed loudly.

"Then let me show you today how people hunt whales!"

After laughing loudly, he began to think about how to hunt whales. If he wants to hunt whales, he must have whaling tools. These whales are too big, and their bodies weighing more than ten tons or even hundreds of tons are their weapons. If you hit it, the boat will capsize or you will die.

If you want to hunt whales, the most efficient thing is the whaling cannon. To put it bluntly, it is a front-loading cannon. The cannonball is an iron spear, which is also a harpoon. It is connected to a cable hundreds of meters long. .

The whaling cannon is the most efficient whaling weapon, but the whaling cannon was invented too late.In the middle and late 19th century, before the invention of the whaling cannon, European and American whaling ships used the most primitive tool to hunt whaling - the whaling harpoon!

In fact, it is a hand-throwed javelin, or a large harpoon.

Those harpoons made of steel have barbs, and a rope is attached to the harpoon head, and several leather airbags similar to balloons are tied to the other end of the rope. Its function is to allow the harpoon to float on the sea surface .

For hundreds of years, once those whaling ships found a whale, they would lower a small sampan a few meters long from the ship, row a small boat to chase the whale, and throw a harpoon at it when it got close. Like throwing a javelin.

A whale has no gills. If it wants to dive underwater, it has to hold its breath and come up to take a breath after a while.The whalers will seize this opportunity and continue to attack the whale. In order to get rid of the harpoon stuck on its body, the whale will shake its body desperately. When they shake off the harpoon, the wound will further expand.The blood flowed more and more, and of course became weaker and weaker,
Then it was like this, while the whalers were chasing the whales, they kept throwing harpoons on the whales. They would continue to pick up the harpoons floating on the sea surface by the air bag from the sea, attacking again and again, and so on. In the end, those who were injured and died Whales that cannot submerge will be consumed alive in the chase.Eventually, exhausted and wounded, the whale floats motionless in the sea, falling prey to the whalers.

Harpoon...

Shi Yiwen looked at the boat.

Large harpoon, really not on board.

But there were a few spears on board, staring at those spears, his eyes lit up.

Spears are fine too!
