Golden Fishery

1694. Whale saddle

After getting into the taxi, Qin Shiou gave the driver an address, then slumped on the back seat and shook his head.

As a result, the driver looked at him from the rearview mirror while driving, and after looking at him for a while, he suddenly said, "Mr. Qin, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Lonnie, and my friends call me Fast Driver Lonnie, and my father has a nickname, Lonnie the Sea Dog..."

Qin Shiou let out a sigh and said, "Don't tell me, your father is an ocean treasure hunter."

The driver nodded happily and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, he is an ocean treasure hunter..."

Qin Shiou almost spit out a mouthful of old blood, but the driver asked him with a smile on his face, "Do you know my dad? My dad's buddies say he is very famous in your industry."

"My business is fish farming, not treasure hunting. Thank you. I just discovered the shipwreck of the black ax by chance." Qin Shiou was helpless. Everyone is now focusing on fishing for treasure in the ocean. Although this is a way to make a fortune quickly , but this path obviously fails.

In fact, the people of St. Johns were not only stimulated by the sinking of the Black Ax pirate ship, but also by the incident of Jack Giuliano. Giuliano was interviewed at the hospital. He vowed that his ship was worth a billion dollars The gold and cultural relics and antiques are all the results of his ocean salvage over the years.

The combination of these two things stimulated the local fishermen like this.

When he arrived at the Vikings Ocean Fishing Ground Commodity Store, Qin Shiou threw fifty Canadian dollars to the driver, saying that he didn't need to change it, and then ran down the road. The driver chattered all the way, but it scared him.

These people were going crazy, and he felt that the driver was looking at him like he was looking at a pile of gold.

When he arrived at Reyek's territory, he was not clean, and people kept saying hello to him: "Hey, Boss Qin, have you found any sunken ships recently?" "Boss, please bring me, I'm good at diving!" "Qin, why did you buy a wooden saddle? Do you want to ride a whale to salvage?"

Qin Shiou shrugged helplessly, and beckoned after seeing Reyek, "Hurry up and take me to get that wooden saddle, I can't stay here any longer."

Rejek said slowly: "Don't worry, Qin. You know that I have Viking blood, right?"

Qin Shiou knew what he wanted to fart when he saw his butt poking out, and said, "I'm not interested in the shipwreck of your Viking ancestors at all, and I don't have that ability either!"

Seeing that his purpose was seen through, Rejek chuckled. Then drove him to the airport.

This time he bought two sets of wooden saddles.

Each set costs 24,000 Canadian dollars, which is not a low price. Reyek explained to him that these two sets of whale saddles are handmade, and they are also handmade boutiques.

That's how it is in Canada. As soon as something is involved in handmade, the value will double immediately. This is also the case in China now, things produced by machine assembly lines are worthless, and things produced by hand are called works of art.

The two sets of whale saddles are packed in boxes, which can be disassembled and installed, and consist of several parts. Qin Shiou went to the airport to verify that there are no missing parts for the two whale saddles, and the deal is considered complete after signing and paying the money.

Hiring a large flatbed truck to haul the two sets of whale saddles to the pier, Qin Shiou was once again surrounded by fishermen like stars, and Nelson and Bird had to hold hands to form a human wall.

The whale saddle is hoisted on the fishing boat. Qin Shiou sailed away immediately, and St. Johns couldn't stay. The fishermen were crazy about money, and they all wanted to follow him to get rich overnight.

After sending the saddle to the fishing ground, he summoned the fishermen to dismantle and install it, and Rejek smiled and went to help. This process is not difficult. The whale saddle is similar to the saddle, but the shape is larger. It is generally used to bind the back of the whale, because the body of the whale is more streamlined than the body of a horse. Therefore, a set of whale saddles mainly lies in the card position, which can be stuck on the whale.

Since the Middle Ages, there has been a tradition of domesticating whales in Northern Europe. At that time, naval battles relied on two ships fighting on board. It can be seen that the flagship of the Norwegian King’s Navy caught by Qin Shiou at that time had a very strong ramming angle. At that time, warships had ramming angles, and they collided with each other first.

Just as the Indians domesticated elephants to fight, some small countries in Northern Europe also began to domesticate whales to fight. Hence the whale saddle. One advantage of whale combat is that it is elusive. As long as a person rides a whale hiding underwater, it will suddenly appear to play a surprise attack.

However, just as unreliable as fighting elephants, whales are not suitable for participating in battles. Most whales are very docile sea beasts. After encountering stimuli such as flames, sounds, and killing, they will subconsciously drill into the deep sea.

Of course, whales can go to the deep sea, can knights? If the knights don't let go, it will be miserable. If they take them to the deep sea together, even the disciples of Jesus will have to kneel; and if they let go, the whales will go to the deep sea and will not come back obediently.

In this way, the whale navy only existed for a short time in history, and there were no traces of them, but the relevant training methods were handed down. Some people domesticated the whales to deliver goods, and others domesticated them to help find large schools of fish.

After more than an hour, the first whale saddle was assembled and ready to be sent to the sea. This transportation is also a problem. Fortunately, he has a drifting island, which just accommodates the whale saddle, so that he can use the boat to drag the plastic drifting island to look for sperm whales.

Reyek looked skeptical, and asked, "Can the sperm whales in your place wear saddles with peace of mind? I've seen some marine parks breeding whale saddles, and they all start from small whales."

In this regard, Qin Shiou was full of confidence, patted his chest and said, "It must be fine, just look at me."

Sperm whales come up to bask in the sun at noon every day, which is rare under natural circumstances, because they have a large appetite and constant temperature to dissipate heat, so they need to keep moving and hunting.

Even in colder waters, the sperm whale must be in constant motion throughout the day to increase its metabolic rate to generate heat to maintain its body temperature. Sperm whales in the North Atlantic in winter cannot be completely still even when they sleep, and their sleep time is short.

The food in the fishing ground is very plentiful, and the sperm whales only need to open their mouths and wait to be full every day, so that they have plenty of rest time. And what do you do during the rest time? That is naturally basking in the sun, so that you can take in calories to maintain body temperature and rest, why not do it?

This is true regardless of wild beasts or sea beasts, moving as little as possible is not laziness, but that they need to maintain sufficient physical strength to deal with some possible dangers in the natural state.

After the yacht sails out, it is not difficult to find sperm whales. Wherever there is a jet of water jetting to the left front at an angle of about 45 degrees, there are traces of sperm whales. (To be continued.)
