Chapter 412 Kunpeng BBQ
Whales are really not rare in the ocean.

This thing is huge and lives in groups. It has almost no natural enemies, so it reproduces extremely quickly.

The fishermen on the deck were also shouting "Kunpeng, it's Kunpeng~~~"

"There is a fish in the North Sea, named Kun. Kun is so big that it is unknown how many thousands of miles long it is."

Chen Ran said with a smile, "Zhuangzi was talking in his sleep. Thousands of miles is impossible, but tens of meters is possible."

Seeing a whale for the first time, Lü Zhi looked at the whale rushing out of the water in the distance, creating huge waves, and then said, "It turned into a bird, and its name is Peng. Peng's back is who knows how many thousands of miles long it is."

"When that big fish flew out of the sea just now, the size of its back was really scary~~~"

Chen Ran was still laughing, but the group of whales were getting closer and closer. Suddenly, the largest whale jumped out of the water and hit the boat hard. The waves that rose into the sky flooded half of the fishing boat.

Stopped the fishermen who were trying to worship the whales and ask them to calm their anger.

Chen Ran looked around. "It seems that they don't like humans snatching fishery resources."

There was no suitable iron fork on the boat, but he saw something more useful: "Give me the anchor."

He quickly tied some metal hooks to the anchor and asked the fishermen to adjust the bow position and strengthen the ropes.

"National Division."

Seeing Chen Ran double-tying the anchor rope, Lu Zhi was puzzled. "What is this for?"

"There is a fish in the North Sea, named Kun. Kun is so big that it cannot be stewed in one pot, so two grills are needed." Chen Ran said with a smile, "Of course we should catch a whale, drag it back and grill it!"

"That's Kunpeng~~~"

"Whatever others say is true?" Under everyone's incredulous gaze, Chen Ran easily picked up the anchor and weighed it in his hand. "So what if Kunpeng comes? Even if Dapeng comes, we have to drag him back and roast him!"

After that, he swung the anchor in his hand continuously, estimating the distance and waiting for the whale to surface again to breathe.

It was still the largest whale that jumped out of the sea again and slapped its tail hard, causing huge waves to rush towards the fishing boat.

It is obvious that these whales are not friendly to large creatures like fishing boats.

Chen Ran took action, and the heavy iron anchor flew out with a roar, passing through the rising waves and hitting the whale directly on the forehead.

The newly tied barbs penetrated the thick layer of fat and firmly grasped the whale's skull.

The whale felt the pain and went into a rage, twisting its body wildly to try to break free from the anchor.

But apart from spilling countless blood, it was of no use.

The whale began to swim frantically into the sea, dragging the fishing boat and accelerating.

The people on the boat were obviously frightened; they didn't dare to go into the deep sea.

Chen Ran smiled, took out two harpoons that the fishermen used for self-defense, accelerated and jumped onto the back of the whale.

Lubricated by the sea water, the whale's back is very smooth, and except for some barnacles that are a bit in the way, it is almost impossible to stay on it.

Chen Ran used the harpoon in his hand to cross-pierce the whale's fat layer, and step by step came to the whale's head.

No bullshit, just a whale.

He raised his foot and kicked hard on the half of the anchor left outside.

The terrifying force instantly pressed the entire anchor into the whale's skull.

The skull was shattered and whale oil was spilling.

This whale no longer has the strength to struggle.

Back on the fishing boat, under everyone's awed gaze, Chen Ran instructed, "Drag it back and kill the fish~~~"

On the way back, they also saw an ultra-large iron ship undergoing sea trials on the sea in the distance.

This sea trial was arranged by Chen Ran, who was preparing to transport the advance team to Yamatai.

When sailing at sea, the most important thing is to identify the position and direction.

If you don't understand these things, you'll just be sailing in circles or into the deep sea until you die once you go out to the open sea.

This is also the reason why fishermen were afraid of being dragged into the deep sea by whales.

Chen Ran had already made preparations. Among the students he taught in Xianyang City, there was a group who specialized in learning navigation knowledge.

As for various professional measuring equipment, there are all kinds of them, such as sextant, compass, planetarium, limit meter, etc.

These people are almost at the shipyard, and they will probably be able to catch up in time to eat Kunpeng meat.

Sure enough, when Chen Ran returned to the fishing boat dock, the huge whale he was dragging attracted countless people to watch.

Those seafaring talents who came thousands of miles from Xianyang City also learned that Chen Ran had gone out to sea, and rushed to the shore to see this spectacular scene.

Jumping onto the dock, Chen Ran called out to everyone, "Drag this big fish up!"

Everyone stepped forward, several ropes were pulled out, and hundreds of people worked together to drag the whale onto the beach.

"Build a stove." Chen Ran instructed those who came to look for him, "Light the fire, and set up the big pot and the barbecue grill."

Middle-earth has had a problem since ancient times, and that is obtaining fuel.

Usually grasses and trees are used, but the result is that after years of logging, soil erosion has occurred, the Guanzhong Plain has lost its former fertility, and even the Central Plains has lost its greenness.

During the Qing Dynasty, this problem reached its peak. After the autumn harvest, there was almost no green to be seen everywhere!
Not only were all the trees cut down, but even the grass was pulled out.

Because of this, straw becomes the most important source of fuel.

Now, all parts of Qin are frantically mining coal. Through the spread of knowledge, more and more people know the benefits of coal. The burned coal slag can even be used to pave roads.

On the dock side, because there is a shipyard next to it, the fuel they use is not coal or wood, but direct oil!
Most of the oil produced at the oil base is sent here, so Chen Ran can use it easily now.

Big pots were set up, and people rushed forward, cutting the meat with all kinds of sharp weapons in their hands, all wanting to taste the legendary Kunpeng.

In fact, it’s not that people living along the coast have never eaten whale meat.

This thing often gets stranded on the coast or is washed ashore after dying.

But the smell and taste can never be compared with those of freshly caught and killed animals.

Chen Ran cut a thick layer of fat, cut it into strips, and placed it on the grill to grill.

Sprinkle with spices and salt, the sizzling aroma is really mouth-watering.

Lu Zhi was already full of shrimps and crabs, but she still ate several more.

A huge fish weighing more than 100,000 kilograms was instantly reduced to half its original weight.

Afterwards, Chen Ran asked everyone to take a portion home, and there was still a large portion left.

Fortunately, the garrison guarding the shipyard came and took away all the remaining ones.

After eating and drinking, Chen Ran sent Lu Zhi back to rest, and he took the students from Xianyang to the dock to wait for the large iron ship to return from sea trials.

What follows is another long period of adaptation training.

But the result is good.

When the typhoon season ended, the fleet here set off immediately.

With the super iron ship as the flagship and dozens of ships, they crossed the ocean and arrived at Yamatai.

Thousands of well-equipped, well-trained, tall and strong Qin troops faced the local natives like adults fighting children, and swept through all the areas they could reach.

After defeating the resistance, they transported the prisoners to the seaside and began to build bases and docks, warehouses for storing various supplies, and so on.

This place will become a transit and supply base for sailing to the other side of the ocean in the future.

The construction of the entire port will take several years.

However, the corresponding ocean exploration operation began directly.

This time there was only one large iron ship, carrying thousands of people and a large amount of various supplies, heading west straight to Honolulu.

This is the most suitable place to serve as a transit base on the journey to the Shang Continent.

The area is large enough and the location is good enough.

With the nautical chart and coordinates provided by Chen Ran, the big iron ship successfully found the archipelago after some effort.

Then the Qin army landed.

Those who resisted were eliminated, those who surrendered were gathered together, and together with the Yamatai barbarians who were transported by ship, they were used to do infrastructure work.

The big iron ship returned and went back to transport people and goods.

Those who stayed behind inevitably felt lonely, so they had to use their energy to urge the prisoners to work.

It was a year later when the big iron ship came again.

And this time, two large iron ships came.

Not only did they bring soldiers for rotation, they also brought a sufficient number of replacement laborers, as well as various supplies, plant seeds and even improved breeds of livestock.

When he comes for the third time, he will bring his immigrant family with him, and then he can continue to sail westward to the Shang Dynasty continent.

Not only did it go east, it also went south without any pause.

First came Small Island (Ryukyu), then Great Island, and then Luzon.
The steps are basically the same.

The sergeants should go up first and clean up the area.

After that, prisoners of war were used to start infrastructure construction.

The infrastructure is naturally mainly composed of docks, warehouses, cities, fields, roads, etc.

When high-intensity infrastructure construction is carried out, there are large-scale losses of prisoners of war, but progress is rarely delayed because prisoners of war can always be replenished in a timely manner.

The origins of prisoners of war are varied and there is no need to deliberately inquire.

Anyway, as long as they are not from Middle-earth, people from other places may become working prisoners of war.

Zulong is still young and not so eager to seek immortality. Besides, there are real immortals around him, so he is not very interested in looking for immortal mountains overseas.

Therefore, all matters related to going out to sea were left to Chen Ran.

Among the orders Chen Ran gave to every outbound fleet, the first one was always to deal with the local natives first!
As long as the people are gone, the land will be mine~~~
While Chen Ran was busy with the sea affairs, Qin's main focus was still on the west.

After crazy construction at all costs, the railway connecting the two ends of the Hexi Corridor was finally completed, and massive amounts of materials and personnel could be transported to the west continuously.

The Qin army, which had been impatient for a long time, immediately launched the Western Expedition.

This time, Meng Yi was still the leader of the army. The size of the army was obviously much smaller, but it was more elite.

When the Qin cavalry entered the Western Regions, this land that had existed since ancient times began to tremble.
