The only valuable thing on this Japanese whaling ship is probably the dozens of oak barrels that He Fan found under the cabin deck!
However, He Fan didn't hold out much hope. After all, whale meat was most likely to be loaded on this kind of whaling ship.
"In this oak barrel, there may have been whale meat that has been stored for hundreds of years. If it is not rotten into dregs, it must have a bunch of maggots, right?"
He Fan muttered, but still didn't intend to give up.
After all, these oak barrels were on the ship, and they were rare things that had not been corroded by the sea water. He mustered up his strength and opened one of the oak barrels. What was inside was a surprise to He Fan.
The oak barrel was not empty, but there were no disgusting creatures like the rotten whale meat and maggots that He Fan had imagined.
This oak barrel is filled with some solidified light yellow matter.
This made He Fan very curious, and he quickly thought of a term:
"Whale oil! It can only be this thing, other things have long been corroded by the erosion of sea water!"
??Whale oil is the oil refined from the fat in the meat of whales. The oil has high stability, so it can be preserved in seawater for such a long time without being corroded.
This is also the main basis for He Fan to make his judgment!
"This is an unexpected surprise. I didn't expect that I could gain something like this. It's not a wasted trip!"
And it is quite reasonable to find something like whale oil on a whaling ship.
This thing, before oil was discovered, has been used as fuel for internal combustion engines and various household lighting lamps!
After an offshore whaling ship kills a whale, because it cannot preserve the whale meat for a long time, it will directly convert the whale into whale oil and store it. At that time, the price of whale oil was also extremely high!
"In ancient times, this was probably the fuel used for those everlasting lamps!"
He Fan also thought of some stories about ever-burning lanterns in the storytelling sessions he had read.
The reason why those ever-burning lamps can stay on is because the chemical properties of whale oil are very stable and can burn for a long time.
After the industrial revolution, the first internal combustion engines relied on whale oil as fuel to burn as kinetic energy!
Therefore, the hunting of whales reached a peak during that period, in order to obtain high profits from refining whale oil, until the emergence of oil!
It can be said that if oil had not appeared, the whales in this world would have been hunted to extinction long ago!
Even now, in order to avoid the extinction of whales, the use of whale oil has long been banned, but this does not prevent the use of whale oil in some medicinal and chemical applications.
Especially in Japan, after all, people have never given up on whaling, so the price of whale oil on the market is not low!
He Fan estimated that the dozens of barrels of whale oil on this Japanese whaling ship should be worth a lot of money, so he immediately decided to take all the whale oil away!
"These Japanese people have refined so much whale oil, and I don't know how many whales they have killed. Anyway, it will be wasted under the sea. When the time comes, I will sell it to Japan and make a lot of money for these Japanese people! "
But now that he was alone, he couldn't carry buckets back one by one, so He Fan gave up the idea for the time being and returned to the Full Cabin to take a nap.
Early the next morning, after everyone on the ship had had a good sleep, He Fan deliberately directed the ship's boss to sail to the sea where the Japanese whaler sank.
While still on the voyage, the three idiot brothers on the side began to complain:
¡°Brother, we won¡¯t just be fishing all the time on this trip, that would be too boring!¡±
He Fan was amused when he heard the complaints of the three brothers. At first, these three guys were very positive, but after working hard all day yesterday, they started to complain!
It just so happens that we need something interesting to motivate these three guys.
Otherwise, how can you fool them into continuing to work hard!
"Oh, there's nothing we can do about it. Who asked us to come out just to catch fish!"
He Fan sighed and saw that he had arrived at the location of the whaling ship. He pretended to enter the cabin and asked the boss of the ship to turn on the fish detection radar on the ship to search for nearby fish!
He Fan was searching for fish and deliberately adjusted the direction of the sound waves. Soon, something appeared on the fish detection radarA vague shape of a ship.
The three idiot brothers, who were just about to chase in and discuss things with their brothers, immediately became energetic when they saw this situation!
¡°Brother, I¡¯ve discovered something! There¡¯s a ship underneath!¡±
"A shipwreck, it must be a shipwreck!"
"Guigui, whatever you want comes to you, we can't let this opportunity go. We have to explore and discover it no matter what!"
He Fan still pretended to hesitate for a while, but when these three guys were all anxious, he finally nodded in agreement!
Soon, the three brothers put on their diving equipment, and each of them carried an oxygen bottle on his back. These equipments had been equipped on the two ships before, for the convenience of diving, but they did not expect to come in handy now!
As for He Fan, he didn¡¯t need these at all. The leader just jumped into the water, followed closely by the three idiot brothers!
This third brother usually eats He Fan¡¯s good food, so his physical fitness is far beyond that of ordinary people, and he can withstand more pressure under the sea water.
Basically there was no stagnation, so we followed He Fan down to the vicinity of the Japanese whaler!
" Moreover, under He Fan's deliberate guidance, the three brothers also successfully discovered the dozens of barrels of whale oil.
"These three guys are basically simple-minded and well-developed limbs. No matter what is in the oak barrel, they are all as if they have found treasures.
Good guy, there¡¯s no need for He Fan to fool you. These three guys are happily shipping out buckets one by one. No one can stop them!
After He Fan pretended to transport a few barrels of whale oil, he simply watched these three guys transport the oak barrels containing whale oil out!
In the end, after all the oak barrels were transferred to the Storm, He Fan also said a little narrowly:
¡°Finally we have finished transporting all the whale oil!¡±
Hearing this, the three idiot brothers who had just come out of the sea all showed suspicious looks:
"Whale oil? Brother, how do you know there is whale oil in these barrels?"
¡°That¡¯s right, our buddies haven¡¯t even opened it to read it?¡±
"Fangzi, when did you have this problem of opening your mouth?"
He Fan looked at these three wise men and really didn't know what to say, so he could only say helplessly:
"Didn't you see those paintings? They are whalers, so this must be whale oil!"
But obviously, He Fan overestimated the brains of these three guys!
"Whaling ship? I just saw those ghostly drawings and didn't pay any attention to them!"
"What, there are still Japanese talismans? Where are they? Why didn't I look at them?"
"What are you talking about?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
