Chapter 78: The Sperm Whale

The sky is slowly getting dark, and the crew members have finished their work for the day. The fishing boats will have people on duty at night.

Ye Yuan decided to be on duty tonight and ordered all crew members to rest.

After all the crew members went to rest, Ye Yuan sneaked into the sea alone.

Ye Yuan found that the more he practiced "Water Control Technique", the more he couldn't live without the sea. He transformed into a sea fish in the sea water, and the sea was like his home, he could come and go freely.

The sea at night is also extremely beautiful, with various luminous creatures dotting the ocean, adding a bit of mystery.

It makes people feel a little excited and a little nervous when they are in it.

Ye Yuan continued to dive down. After a while, he came to the deep sea area with a depth of 2,000 meters.

Almost no one has set foot in this sea area, at least no one has ever reached the bottom of the sea.

Ye Yuan's purpose of coming down this time is to test his diving ability. Remember to help

Xu Hang only dived to a depth of 2,000 meters that time, and his body felt resistance.

Continuing downward, my body began to feel pressure when I was at a depth of 2,000 meters last time. After improving my skills this time, I passed the depth of 2,000 meters with ease.

Continuing downward, when reaching a depth of 4,000 meters, his body began to feel some discomfort. Ye Yuan knew that his limit was now 4,000 meters deep.

There is no doubt that Ye Yuan should be the first human being on Blue Star to come to this sea area without using any equipment.

If it were other divers, no matter how skilled they were, they would not be able to stand the underwater pressure even halfway through the dive and would be unable to continue.

In such a deep ocean, in addition to pressure becoming a roadblock for humans, there are also various dangerous creatures in the deep sea.

Generally, when you reach this depth, there is no light anymore. It is a dark world with a layer of fog covering it. Except for high-tech means, no one knows what is hidden below.

Ye Yuan has been wandering in this mysterious sea layer, and he has seen many strange creatures.

He didn't recognize many of them.

It can be seen that human understanding is still very limited.

How many species live on this ancient blue star cannot be calculated clearly by humans relying on modern technology.

In Ye Yuan's perception, a sperm whale swam from a distance.

This sperm whale is more than 20 meters long and looks like a huge submarine.

The sperm whale looks very strange, with a huge head and a small lower jaw. Only the lower jaw has teeth. From a distance, it looks like a giant tadpole swimming towards you.

Many introductions say that most whales are docile, but there are a few that are very ferocious, such as killer whales.

The sperm whale is also one of them. Because of its large size, it is very scary to fight.

Due to their huge size and ferocious character, they are called sea monsters by the older generation of fishermen.

Sperm whales' favorite food is giant squid.

The two are natural enemies. Once they meet, they will definitely fight. It is difficult to separate without knowing the outcome.

Ye Yuan once saw in some videos fierce scenes of sperm whales fighting giant squids.

It was a giant squid that blocked the blowhole of a sperm whale with its tentacles, causing the sperm whale to suffocate to death.

But most of the time, when a sperm whale meets a giant squid, it will be the winner.

The fight between a sperm whale and a giant squid can be said to be very spectacular. Both sides will jump out of the water together during the fight.

It's like two hills chasing each other in the sea.

However, giant squids are not unable to escape. Most squids will use the smoke they emit to confuse the sperm whales and then escape.

Ye Yuan didn't want to offend this big guy, so he got out of the way immediately.

The sperm whale's opening is two to three meters in size, and it can swallow a small sampan in one gulp.

Ye Yuan couldn't guarantee that his water needle could deal with it, and there was no need to think about the income space. He had already tried it last time, and if the weight exceeded his ability, he would not be able to absorb it.

Looking at the size of this sperm whale, Ye Yuan believed that he was not capable of containing this big guy into the space.

Although Ye Yuan is also greedy for this guy's points, he believes that if he can really exchange this guy for points, there will definitely be a lot of points, but points are more important than his own life.

Maybe he swallowed it before he even got close.

Staying away from the sperm whale, Ye Yuan had no intention of staying here any longer and quickly swam up the river.

"Um?"

Just as Ye Yuan was swimming towards the fishing boat, he found a group of white stones undulating in the water not far away.

Ye Yuan swam over and caught this seemingly inconspicuous stone.

This stone is white in color, a bit like the appearance of a seaside reef. It is not very heavy to buy, but Ye Yuan is a little surprised that such a stone appears here, because stones in the sea are always on the bottom of the sea. How can they float like this one?

in sea water.

Ye Yuan was about to throw away the stone in his hand, when he suddenly thought of an item in his memory.

I didn't think about it at first, but I just thought of it after I saw a sperm whale and found this kind of stone nearby.

Looking at the stone in my hand again, the more I look at it, the more I feel that this stone is the legendary ambergris.

Although Ye Yuan is a student at Ocean University, he has never seen ambergris and only learned about it from the introductions in some books.

Ambergris, also known as dragon belly incense, is a solid waxy flammable substance that is gray or black in color.

The essence of ambergris is the dried intestinal secretions of sperm whales, members of the sperm whale family. Some sperm whales will spit it out, some will excrete it from the intestines, and only a small number of sperm whales will keep it in their bodies.

The ambergris discharged into the sea is light black at first, and gradually turns gray, light gray, and finally white under the influence of sea water.

Historically, people mainly used it as a fixative for perfumes.

It is mainly composed of ambergris and a series of cholestanols.

Among them, ambergris is the main component of ambergris. It does not have the aroma of ambergris itself, but it is closely related to the aroma and function of ambergris.

Ambergris is a clear and gentle animal fragrance, with the highest quality among animal spices.

The aroma is as beautiful as musk, slightly earthy, somewhat like seaweed, woody, or moss. It has a special sweetness and an extremely long-lasting fragrance. It is a very complex aroma combination.

Although not strong, it is subtle and soft, and its fragrance lasts 20 to 30 times longer than musk, which can last for several months. It is the best fixative.

It can blend various aromas together well, making the aroma very soft and long-lasting.

Ambergris is often formulated as a 3% tincture.

Used together with musk and civet, it has the power to enhance the aroma.

In China, ambergris is not only used as a fixative, but also as a traditional Chinese medicine.

Mainly used for: promoting qi and activating blood circulation, dispersing stagnation and relieving pain, diuresis and treating stranguria. It is effective in treating cough, asthma, dyspnea, accumulation of qi, abdominal pain, and gonorrhea. It is very effective in these aspects.
