Chapter 39 Spitsbergen Islands (3)

    In the past, some european and american countries captured whales in large numbers just to get whale oil


    After taking out the whale oil, they threw away all the remaining whale bodies


    It was not until the ocean-going ships became larger that they began to use whale meat, whiskers, bones, tendons and so on


    Whale meat was mainly consumed by northern european countries such as Norway and denmark, as well as island countries such as japan


    The whiskers were mainly used as lingerie


    In the movie "Pirates of the caribbean," the female lead was strangled by the tight-fitting lingerie


    However, the process did not improve until the mid-18th century


    They inserted a ribbon of whale bone or wood or metal in the center of the front part of the lingerie, then bent the whale whiskers according to the shape of the body and embedded them into the body


    On the top of the bra, there was also a crooked whale whisker embedded horizontally


    The whale whiskers on the back seemed to be straight


    He pressed his shoulder blades forcefully to make his back look flat and the seams of the cloth were very clever


    It was said that the age of the corset could be determined from the number of embedded whale whiskers and the treatment of the seams


    If the above was used as waste, the real impact of modern whaling activities is the unique nature of whale oil


    As mechanical oil, whale oil is very high quality


    This rare biological oil is mostly used in rocket engines and metal industry


    At the same time, it is also a very good lubricant, calender oil, and surface active agent, and even if whales are so rare, the last two uses are still used


    It can be said that the use of whales in modern society has basically reached its peak


    Of course, our use of all living things has reached a peak, but because whales have been overused, it has become rare


    Huang Xuan''s excitement and frustration were accompanied by the countless hills of whales


    Spitsbergen is located in the arctic circle


    In history, this is the beginning of the current era


    The svalbard islands are the center of the whole arctic whaling


    Holland, England, france, spain, and portugal, the former strong and weak countries on the sea, have been involved in this area


    More than a century after being hunted, the arctic whale was on the verge of extinction


    The japanese in the 21st century had already shifted their hunting position to the south pole, so the problem arose


    Bergen hunted mainly arctic whales and a small number of other whales, but in the era of huang xuan, scientists probably didn''t know as much about the total number of arctic whales as Green bay did at the moment


    How to sell the arctic whale was the biggest problem


    Mr


    Governor general did not know what huang xuan was thinking, but he was clearly interested in Huang Xuan''s proposal


    With the 17th century''s technology and spending power, the whale body was lost far more than it could be used


    He smiled at the two people beside him and said," what should I call your excellency


    Mr


    Aurora''s messenger, or Mr


    Nokia''s


    ""You can call me Huang Xuan


    My father is dutch


    " Huang Xuan apologized to his father and continued," if you want, you can call me Fei Lipu or unilever


    " As for his strange name, Wei Lu Wei nuzzled his lips and obediently read," then Mr


    Fei Lipu, what price would you like to exchange for our whale, or how much food would you like to exchange for it


    " The sailors around them were still working hard, but the officials of the East India Company had gathered around them


    Most of them had no place in europe and were born at the bottom of the earth, so it was hard to see yellow people, let alone a yellow person who spoke fluent dutch


    He snuck his hand into his sleeve and when he took it out, it was already full of wheat


    He opened his hand and stretched it in the air


    " Mr


    Governor general, what price do you think such wheat should pay


    " Wei Lu Wei did not look at the food in Huang Xuan''s hand, but smiled


    " It depends on what price you are going to buy the whale


    " A group of people burst out laughing again


    It must be said that the european habits of this era were really vulgar and disgusting


    Smiling, he put away the wheat and regarded the ridicule of the people around him as nothing


    He had encountered this situation many times since he was a child


    For example, his annoying cousins often liked to gather around and laugh at others, but once the ridicule was ignored, these people would feel uncomfortable


    The big-nosed dutchman was obviously not feeling well


    He looked up and said," this father is Mr


    Fei Lipu of the dutchman


    This island belongs to the dutchman


    You should let your father talk to him


    " Just as she was about to answer, someone said in a less standard dutch language," really


    " But a european from outside the circle


    He combed his shiny hair and his clothes were tied around his waist, making it impossible for the sea breeze to blow


    Compared with the gentlemen of the Dutch East India Co around him, his clothes were obviously quite different


    Wei lu closed one of his eyes and looked at the big orange beside him, who shook his head


    The interjected european took a step forward, stood in front of everyone, and said," when did this island belong to the dutch


    " This time, he used spanish


    In the 16th century, spain was a superpower, and it was because of its oppression that Holland rose to the top


    Therefore, even if most dutch did not speak spanish, they would always know what they heard, just as many chinese people today do not speak english, but when some speak english, He also knew how to call a" american" or a banana


    To the dutch, the spaniards were extremely detestable


    At the beginning of the 17th century, the dutch who had not yet established a world hegemony had just begun their career as a coachman on the sea, and the spaniards were naturally very angry that their former younger brother was their elder brother


    The dutchman''s nose turned red when he realized that the person who interjected was a spaniard


    He took a step back and was not prepared to get involved in the fight between the two


    Besides, according to Lorraine, svalbard was originally named after the discovery of the dutchman


    According to the logic of this era, this was naturally the dutchman''s


    However, the new spaniard was obviously not interested in the fight


    He pretended to be elegant and straightened his hat


    He turned to huang xuan and said," Mr


    Fei Lipu, please forgive my recklessness and apologize for overhearing your conversation


    " Shrugging his shoulders, he said," it''s okay


    " Unintentionally or not, the europeans are all pretentious


    " Do you mind if I take a look at the wheat you brought


    "" Of course not


    " Huang xuan poured half the wheat into each other''s hands


    " Very full grain


    If you were in europe, a thousand pounds would be worth 50 silver coins


    " The spaniard smiled and handed the wheat to Huang Xuan


    " My name is Hu An


    Do you mind if I join the deal


    "" Of course not


    " In fact, huang xuan was very welcoming


    He turned his eyes to Hu An and said," do you want to trade with me with rials


    " The real was a spanish silver coin, which was still hard currency


    " Florin can do it too


    " Hu an smiled at Wei Lu Wei


    In front of the money, Wei Lu Wei also forgot about the hatred of the country and family


    He pushed aside the big orange beside him and said," has your excellency Fei Lipu brought wheat


    "" Six ships and rice, sir


    " Lorraine faithfully translated Huang Xuan''s words, which completely ignited the enthusiasm of the big nosed people
