The sperm whale, which suffered a second-degree heavy blow, flipped angrily, stirring up huge waves, but this instead caused more blood to flow out of it, accelerating the speed of its life passing.

"Do you want to do it again?" A sailor pulled out another whale spear, then thrust his musket with his mouth and asked.

"No need." Ricardo shook his head and ordered: "Skip backwards and pay attention to the fishing line! It is best to drag left and right to expand the wound on the whale! Go back quickly, don't let it sink our boat."

The sperm whale is still swimming on the sea surface, twisting its body violently from time to time, looking very scary. However, in the eyes of the crew of "Hunter 1", this is just the last struggle of the giant beast on the sea before it dies. Now, everyone just needs to wait quietly for the adult whale to exhaust its once extremely tenacious vitality by itself.

Zhang Yun held the railing of the ship "Hunter No. 1" with both hands, and his white finger joints showed his inner tension. After waiting for a long time, the sperm whale's life was almost at its end. Finally, after a violent struggle in the end, the two wounds on the big guy's body suddenly spit out blood like rain. After making a scream of despair that was inaudible to human ears, the adult sperm whale finally landed on the sea weakly and floated in its own pool of blood.

The sailors burst out with warm cheers, and the sailors operating the fishing line drum immediately began to slowly go to the recycling line. At the same time, the sailors on the whaling boat also began to row to the side of the big ship. With their joint efforts, the huge adult sperm whale was finally pulled to the left side of the "Hunter 1" ship.

How to deal with this sperm whale? The sailors turned their eyes to the captain Zhang Yun. After Zhang Yun thought for a moment, he began to order: "Pick up this whale, pay attention to strength and speed. Put down the positioning anchor on the right, and place two more pieces of the bottom iron, so don't let the ship tilt."

With his orders, the sailors immediately took their place. With the assistance of the Ricardo Sailor on the whaling boat, they used a large trawl to hang the huge sperm whale on the deck little by little through a steam winch. As the huge sea beast fell into the treatment pool in the center of the front of the deck, the sailors present cheered again.

"Stop being slow, work quickly." Zhang Yun also changed out of his captain's uniform, wore a white cotton shirt, walked over with a skinning knife, and said with a smile: "Luciano. Now you are responsible for driving the boat back to the Bareen Whale Port." Zhang Yun, a former Ming boy, has undergone a huge change in the past few years. At least he would never do a "butcher" job that was very "lowly" in his eyes, but now he has no grudges at all, and he is even willing to accept it. It makes people sigh that the environment has changed people to people.

Almost all whales are treasures. In the 21st century, almost every thing on its body can be effectively utilized, and the types of products processed cover industry, food and medicine. For both the East Coast people and the modern people in later generations, the most important thing on each whale is its thick fat layer. Because whales often live in cold water areas, they are huge in size and have many parts that come into contact with seawater, the fat layer on their body is very thick to fully isolate the heat loss in the body. On average, the fat of an adult whale accounts for more than 30% of its body weight, so its oil yield is very high. More importantly, the quality of this oil is very good, not only an important raw material in the chemical industry, but also a very good lubricant.

A small oil refining device is installed in the lower deck of "Hunter 1", which uses high-temperature hot steam to dissolve the fat layer. This method is much more efficient than the traditional method of making oil with fire. The average oil yield rate of traditional methods does not exceed 50%, and a lot of oil remains in the remaining residue. After using the high-temperature steam dissolution method, the average oil yield rate can be increased to nearly 65%, and the texture and color of the oil can also be improved by a level. The refining time can be shortened by most of the time, and there are few people to use it, which can be said to have many advantages. At present, the seal oil processing center in Baleen Whale Port of Horse Island is used, and it has been proven to be very reliable. Therefore, the oil refining device on "Hunter 1" is also used in this principle.

Zhang Yun invited about 20 sailors and skinning workers to come and peel them. They started peeling from the waist of the whale hit by the harpoon, and pulled the peeled whale skin out with a hook while peeling. During the peeling process, large balls of blood mixed with fish oil came out from time to time, and a fishy smell was everywhere on the deck, which made people feel nauseous. Whale skin is a very good leather material with a short layer of fluff on the surface and even natural patterns, and the appearance is very beautiful. If you take it back to the local area and dye it with high-end dyes, you will definitely be sold at a high price in China and even Europe.

13 out of 20 people were peeling, 2 were holding iron hooks and scooping, 4 were helping with the escalator (the fish was too high), and 1 was sharpening the knife next to it, and was very busy. Due to the lack of equipment and materials for tanning fresh whale skin on the boat, Zhang Yun and others decided to apply the surface of the whale skin to be peeled off from behind with fine salt to make salt hide. This salt hide can be stored for a long time, which is enough for everyone to return to the local area or the baleen whale port before tanning.

In this way, everyone peeled the skin of the adult sperm whale for more than three days before roughly peeling off the skin. According to Zhang Yun and others, the weight of the whale's whale weighs about 3-4 tons. After tanning it into leather, its weight may be less than one-tenth of the current one, and its thickness is only about one-fifth (about 2-3 mm).

When they were peeling, they mobilized more sailors to cut the fat on the whale's body surface. They cut the fat into standard-sized blocks and then sent them into the processing workshop on the lower deck. The processing workers threw the fat into one steel steamer. The steamer had a hot steam pipe passing through the steamer boiler room. The hot steam temperature was not very high (no more than 200 degrees), but it was enough. After the whale blubber was put into the steamer, the lid was sealed and the hot steam was then passed into the wooden barrel below. After the whale blubber had completely dissolved, it flowed into the wooden barrel below through another pipe on the steamer. This was the finished product.

After getting the whale skin and blubber, the ship almost drove into the Barewhale Port. When the residents of Barewhale Port heard that "Hunter 1" caught a whale and came back, the whole city was sensation. Although the name of this small city contained the word "Borde Whale", almost all residents had never seen the whale look. At this time, they heard that the boat had caught a real big guy and came back, and they all rushed to the dock to watch. The sailors of "Hunter 1" raised their heads and chests, as if they had won a battle and accepted the admiration and amazement of the people of the city.

"Stop being in heat, hurry up and take the rest to the shore to deal with it." Zhang Yun had changed into a clean and tidy captain's suit again and ordered the sailors with a smile. With his order, the sailors began to lift the whale meat that had been cut into pieces one by one, and then pulled it into the center of the city for processing. The southern hemisphere is now in early spring, and the temperature is very low near the baleen whale port, so although these meats have been in high latitudes, the temperature has been extremely low. Therefore, although these meats have been around for several days, they have not rotten or deteriorated. According to the information, the weight of whale meat generally accounts for about 55% of the whale's weight, and the nutritional value is very high. Although the taste is not as delicious as beef and mutton, it is still quite reasonable. And the more important thing is that the amount is large. The sperm whale is nearly 20 meters long. Although the weight cannot be accurately measured, it is estimated to exceed 60 tons. The meat is more than 30 tons. It is a waste to throw it away.

Tons of whale meat were hoisted into the carriage carriage docked on the pier trek, and then quickly pulled into the city. The mayor of Balewhale Port, Mathias, also scratched his head in the face of these meat mountains, not knowing what to do. In the end, Zhang Yun, the captain of "Hunter 1", helped him solve the problem. He asked the sailors to move a lot of spices from the cabin, and then sent two more people to him. These two were ship-alive technicians sent by the Ministry of Agriculture. These two had no other skills, but they learned the best chef skills when they were in the local area.

With the help of a large number of helpers sent by Mayor Matthias, they washed and bleeded the whale meat repeatedly, and then put various spices in the process of handling the beef, and then made into spice jerky whale. After making the jerky, the weight will be reduced by more than two-thirds, but this is just over ten tons, which is still scary. Of course, because of the hasty time this time, they didn't have time to bring some canned glass, otherwise they could make some canned whale meat at this time, so they could bring it back to the local area for everyone to try it out. However, there is no rush to do this at this time, and it's okay to bring it next time.

However, it is naturally impossible to make all of so much whale meat into five-spice jerky. Not to mention anything else, more than 800 men, women, young and old in the Baleen Whale Port were watching them with eyes. Although they had eaten all kinds of poultry, livestock, seals, lions, and other meat, they had never tasted the whale meat. Therefore, facing these whale meat piled up into mountains, they were curious and couldn't help but want to try it out.
