Time Smuggling Starting from the Year 2000

In the past, some European and American countries hunted whales in large quantities just to obtain whale oil. Once the oil has been removed, they throw away any remaining whale carcass. It was not until the large-scale ocean-going ships that they began to use whale meat, whiskers, bones, tendons, etc. The people who eat whale meat are mainly Nordic countries such as Norway and Denmark, as well as island countries such as Japan. The beard bones are mainly used as women's underwear. In the movie Pirates of the Caribbean, the heroine was strangled by tight underwear. However, this technology did not make greater progress until the middle of the 18th century. They inserted ribbon-shaped whalebone or wood chips or metal chips in the front center of women's underwear, and then bent the whalebone according to the curve of the body shape in advance, embedded it in the body, and placed it on the chest. A well-curved baleen is also embedded horizontally on the upper edge of the clothes, and the baleen on the back seems to be straight, forcing the shoulder blades to make the back appear flat. The seams of the cloth are also very clever. It is said that the age of the corset can be judged from the number of inset baleen and the treatment of the seams. If the above is used as waste, what really affects modern whaling activities is the particularity of whale oil. As mechanical oil, whale oil is of very high quality. This rare biological oil is mostly used in rockets Engine and metal industry, at the same time it is also a very good lubricating oil, rolling oil, surfactant, and even though whales are so rare, the latter two usages are still in use today. It can be said that the use of whales in modern society has basically reached the highest value. Of course, our use of all living things has reached a peak, but due to the excessive use of whales, they have become rare. Facing the whale composed of countless hills, Huang Xuan's mood was mixed with excitement and frustration. Spitsbergen is located in the Arctic Circle. In history—that is, from the beginning of the current era, Svalbard is the center of whaling in the entire Arctic. The Netherlands, England, France, Spain, Portugal, the former maritime powers, Weak nations have once invaded this sea area, and Arctic whales are on the verge of extinction after being hunted for more than a century. In the 21st century, the Japanese have shifted their hunting positions to the Antarctic, so the problem is that Bergen mainly hunts Arctic whales and a small number of other whales, but in Huang Xuan's era, the total number of Arctic whales known to scientists may be There are not as many as in Green Bay at the moment. How to sell the Arctic whales has become the biggest problem. Mr. Governor didn't know what Huang Xuan was thinking, but he was obviously very interested in Huang Xuan's proposal. With the technology and consumption power of the 17th century, there were far more whale bodies thrown away than could be used. The two people smiled and said, How should I address you? Mr. Ollila's messenger, or Mr. Nokia? You can call me Huang Xuan, my father is Dutch. Huang Xuan thought to the old man Dad said he was embarrassed, and continued: If you want, you can call me Philips, or Unilever. Regarding his weird name, Wei Luwei nuzzled and read obediently: Then Philips Sir, what price do you want to exchange for our whales, or how much food do you want to exchange? The sailors around were still working hard, but the officials of the East India Company had already surrounded It seems that most of them have no status in Europe, and they were born at the bottom of the class. Naturally, it is difficult to see a yellow person, let alone a yellow person who speaks fluent Dutch. Huang Xuan secretly tucked his hands into his sleeves, and when he took them out again, they were already full of wheat. He opened his hands and stretched them in the air, and said, What price do you think the Governor should give for such wheat? Lu Wei didn't look at the food in Huang Xuan's hand, but just smiled: It depends on what price you plan to buy the whale. And disgusting. Huang Xuan put away the wheat with a smile, ignoring the ridicule of the people around him. He has encountered this situation many times since he was a child. For example, his annoying cousins ​​often like to gather together to laugh at others, but once the ridicule is ignored Instead, these people will feel uncomfortable. The big-nosed Dutchman was obviously not feeling well. He raised his head and said, This Mr. Philips whose father is Dutch, this archipelago belongs to the Dutch. You should let your father talk about it. Huang Xuan was about to answer, but this But someone said in non-standard Dutch: Really? But it was a European from outside the circle. He combed his shiny hair, and his clothes were tied around his waist so that the sea breeze could not disturb them. Compared with the surrounding gentlemen of the Dutch East India Company, his clothing was obviously quite different. Weilu closed one eye slightly, and then looked at the big orange beside him, who shook his head. The European who interjected consciously took a step forward, stood in front of everyone, and said, When did this archipelago belong to the Dutch? This time, he spoke in Spanish. In the 16th century, Spain was a superpower, and it was because of its oppression that the Netherlands rose up. Therefore, even if most Dutch people don’t speak Spanish, they always know what they hear, just like many Chinese people today don’t know English. , but when someone speaks English, they also know how to call Yanke or banana. To the Dutch, the Spaniards are extremely hateful. At the beginning of the 17th century, the Dutch, who had not yet established world hegemony, just started their career as sea coachmen, and the Spaniards were naturally very resentful that their former younger brother was their elder brother. So the Dutchman's nose turned red when he realized that the interjector was a Spaniard.

Huang Xuan took a step back, not planning to get involved in the struggle between the two. Besides, according to Lorraine, Svalbard was originally discovered and named by the Dutch. According to the logic of this era, it naturally belongs to the Dutch. . However, the newly joined Spaniards were obviously not as interested in fighting as they were in Huang Xuan. He straightened his hat pretending to be elegant, and turned to Huang Xuan: Mr. Philips, please forgive my recklessness just now, I apologize for overhearing your conversation. Huang Xuan shrugged and said, It's okay. Unintentional or unintentional, Europeans are prudish. Mind if I take a look at the wheat you brought? Of course not. Huang Xuan poured half of the wheat into the opponent's hand. Very plump wheat grains, if in Europe, 1,000 pounds would be worth 50 silver coins. The Spaniard smiled and handed the wheat grains to Huang Xuan, and said, My name is Juan, do you mind if I join this deal? Of course not. In fact, Huang Xuan was very welcome, he turned his gaze to Juan, and said, Do you want to trade with me in rials? Rials are Spanish silver coins, which are still considered hard currency. Florin is fine too. Juan smiled and glanced at Wei Luwei. In front of the banknotes, Wei Luwei also forgot the hatred of the country and the family, pushed away the big orange next to him, and said: Your Excellency Philips, did you bring wheat? Lu boat, and rice, sir. Lorraine faithful Translated Huang Xuan's words, and these words completely ignited the enthusiasm of the big noses. ps: It's a new week, I hope readers who like it will continue to vote, and please bookmark the ones you just saw.
