Chapter 99: Ambergris, is it the saliva of a dragon?!

"Ambergris?!"

Peng Yuchang and Liu Haoran only felt that they seemed to have heard of it, but for a moment, they couldn't remember what it was.

Instead, Zifeng seemed to know it. His eyes lit up and he asked,"Sister Jingtian, the ambergris you mentioned, is it used to make perfume?"

Datian nodded and said,"Yes, that's it. It can be used to make perfume, but I don't know if this stone is ambergris." He looked at Xu Haiyang again and asked,"Haiyang, did I guess right?"

【Oh my god, ambergris, is this real?】

【If it really is ambergris, this thing is indeed more expensive than gold!】

【It is said that ambergris is the excrement of sperm whales and is very difficult to find. However, someone once accidentally picked it up on the beach and sold it for a sky-high price!】

【What kind of luck is this? I can pick up this thing while fishing at the beach?】

【Whether it is ambergris or not, we still have to see what Xu Haiyang says. Maybe it is not ambergris! 】

In the live broadcast room, many people also know about ambergris.

But whether this stone is ambergris or not still needs Xu Haiyang to draw a conclusion.

In the expectant eyes of everyone, Xu Haiyang nodded and said with a smile:"If I am not mistaken, it is indeed ambergris!"

As soon as this was said, the whole audience was shocked!

Such a big piece of ambergris must be worth a lot!

Liu Haoran felt that the stone was a little hot, so he returned it to Xu Haiyang and asked:"Haiyang, how do you know it is ambergris? Have you seen ambergris before? Do you confirm it by its smell?

Hearing this, Peng Yuchang nodded repeatedly and said:"Yes, if this thing is so precious, Haiyang, you have never seen it before, how do you know it is ambergris?"

This is also the question of many viewers.

【Yes, ordinary people don’t have the chance to see ambergris. No matter how powerful Aquaman is, he can’t recognize it as ambergris at first glance, right?】

【Maybe it really is just animal excrement!】

【Although I think Aquaman is awesome and knows everything, whether this is ambergris remains to be verified! 】

Xu Haiyang was not surprised to hear the questions raised by Liu Haoran and Peng Yuchang.

He was able to recognize ambergris because of the"Encyclopedia of Marine Knowledge", but others would definitely question him, which is normal.

Xu Haiyang controlled the drone live broadcast equipment and zoomed the camera in so that the audience in the live broadcast room could see more clearly...

It looks very similar to a stone.

If you don't look carefully, you will indeed think it is just an ordinary stone.

It is grayish white all over, and there are countless stones of this color on the seashore...

But as the camera zooms in, you can still slightly distinguish the difference between it and the stone.

To distinguish ambergris, in fact, it is not accurate to look at the appearance. The most important thing is its smell, which is what the audience in the live broadcast room cannot smell!

Xu Haiyang said:"Peng Peng, Haoran, Zifeng, Tiantian, you have also tasted its smell. Can you smell the wood fragrance, the salty smell of sea water, and the sweet smell of milk?"

Hearing this, Jing Tian and others nodded.

"Yes, that's right, that's the smell!"

Xu Haiyang continued:"Then do you know why it is called ambergris?"

Peng Yuchang answered first:"Didn't you say it was the excrement of sperm whales? Is it because of its fragrance that makes the dragons salivate?"

Xu Haiyang shook his head and smiled:"No, it's not"

"In fact, the name of ambergris has a story."

Xu Haiyang said calmly:"It is said that a fisherman in the Han Dynasty found an object similar to a white candle while fishing at sea, and it also had a very unique fragrance. After the story spread, people said that it was an object condensed from the saliva of a dragon while sleeping at sea, so it was named"ambergris".""

"Later, officials came to buy it and presented it to the emperor." (To read the exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"Since then, ambergris has frequently appeared in the imperial palace as a luxury spice. This is the earliest record of ambergris in the world."

Xu Haiyang told the story.

Peng Yuchang and others were amazed.

Peng Yuchang smiled and said,"So there is such an allusion? No wonder the name is so nice. If it was named"sperm whale excrement", it would not be so cool!"

The audience in the live broadcast room finally understood why it was called ambergris.

【Damn, Aquaman has such a wide range of knowledge!】

【If I hadn’t listened to the host’s explanation, I wouldn’t have known there was such a story about ambergris!】

【It seems that Xu Haiyang really knows about ambergris, and it's not just nonsense!

After a pause, Xu Haiyang continued:"With the development of technology, people later discovered that ambergris is not the saliva left by dragons, but the excrement of giant creatures in the ocean - sperm whales!"

"This statement is not entirely correct. Ambergris is indeed produced in the body of sperm whales, but it is not excreted!"

"Sperm whales are medium-sized whales, about 18 meters long, and have a huge appetite. They swallow a ton of food a day and especially like to hunt easily digestible octopuses and large squids."

"But octopuses and squids have a hard jaw on their heads that looks like a bird's beak. After sperm whales swallow them, the hard jaw is difficult to digest and the hardness will irritate the whale's stomach."

"At this time, the oil and secretions in the sperm whale's intestines will wrap the foreign matter, and use biological acids and microorganisms to decompose the organic matter."

"The nutritious part is digested, leaving only a special solid mass, which is then excreted from the body through the digestive system. If the mass is too large to be excreted through the intestines, the sperm whale will excrete it through vomiting."

Hearing this, Peng Yuchang smiled obscenely and said,"So, this is not necessarily the feces excreted by the sperm whale, it may also be vomited from its mouth?"

"！！！！"

Xu Haiyang was stunned when he heard Peng Peng's words.

This guy is really a genius!

Although these words sound vulgar.

However, there is nothing wrong with this explanation! On the contrary, it is easy to understand!

Liu Haoran felt that what Peng Peng said was a bit disgusting, and complained:"Peng Yuchang, can't you use words more civilized?"

Even sister Zifeng shook her head helplessly.

Her brother is a bit disgusting!

Immediately, Liu Haoran looked at Xu Haiyang again and asked:"Since people later knew that ambergris is not the saliva of dragons, why is it still so precious?"
