Happy Tycoon

Led by Andrei Milakinov, a group of people boarded this huge 10,000-ton polar scientific research ship.

Looking at the ship below, they felt that the ship was big enough, but when they actually boarded the ship, they realized that the ship was much bigger than what they saw.

This is a scientific research ship, and it is a polar scientific research icebreaker, so there are many huge tools on board, such as the two cranes with a lifting capacity of 200 tons.

Seeing that Yang Jing and Gege were paying attention to the two cranes laid flat, Andrey Milakinov explained: These two spreaders are the largest equipment on our ship, and they also have the strongest lifting capacity. Equipment. With these two spreaders, many heavy scientific research equipment can be easily loaded and disembarked. At the same time, the two spreaders also have ice-breaking capabilities. In special cases, the two spreaders can extend their The arms reach the front of the ship, and then use steel ice-breaking hammers to assist the hull to break the ice together, which is an essential equipment on polar scientific research ships.

Like his accent, this big man who just became the captain of the Blue Whale is a Russian immigrant. Before immigrating, he worked in the St. Petersburg shipyard in Russia and has very rich experience in shipbuilding. Of course, he also has a good understanding of ships. Far more powerful than the average captain or chief engineer.

The layout of this ship is that there are cabins at the bow and stern, and a deck in the middle. These two huge spreaders are installed on the deck in the middle of the hull. On the deck between the two spreaders, six containers are placed.

After these containers enter the polar seas, they will become natural refrigerators. Some supplies can be placed directly in these containers, saving a lot of space for the cabin below.

While explaining, Andrei Milakinov led the way to the cabin at the bow.

Unlike the deck cabins of ordinary ocean-going freighters located at the back of the hull, this polar scientific research ship has two deck cabins. Above the front deck of the hull is a five-story deck cabin. The top cabin is the cockpit, which is also The highest position of the whole ship, where the captain and driver usually drive this ocean-going giant ship.

Below the cockpit, there are some laboratories and cabins for scientific research personnel, and some main crew members will also live in the deck cabin at the bow.

There is also a deck cabin at the stern. This deck cabin is only three stories high, and it mainly contains the pilothouse, the helicopter parking compartment and the living quarters for the engineers. Of course, under the stern deck cabin is the heart of the entire ship—the engine.

As for the rear of the aft deck cabin, that is, outside the helicopter parking cabin, there is a helipad.

The Blue Whale is equipped with an Augusta AW109 light helicopter. This is a very mature helicopter. After proper modification, it can sail even in the Antarctic.

Below the deck is the cargo hold. Huge warehouses can carry massive amounts of supplies. Because polar scientific research ships are not only responsible for polar scientific research tasks, they are often also responsible for delivering supplies to polar scientific research stations. Bring sufficient supplies to the test station.

However, when Yang Jing and the others entered the cargo hold, except for some equipment such as snowmobiles and snowmobiles in the cargo hold, the other places for storing supplies were empty.

Mr. Lin, we can't determine how long it will take to go to the Arctic waters this time, and we don't know what kind of supplies and equipment you need, so we haven't resupplied. Of course, if you can determine the supplies and extra equipment you need , we can complete the supplies needed for this voyage within two days. From fresh water to food, medicine to the additional equipment you need, we can complete the supplies within two days.

Hearing Andre's explanation, Yang Jing understood the meaning. What Captain Andre said is very clear. One is that we don't know what supplies you need and what kind of extra equipment you carry, so you can't supply them. Secondly, you are chartering the ship. According to the lease agreement, you have to pay for the supplies and fuel. If you don't give money, how can we supply you?

Yang Jing nodded, turned his head and said to Lin Dan: Today, you can discuss with Captain Andre to see what supplies you need. Well, I mean ordinary supplies. We are going to the polar seas and the arctic regions. On land, some common supplies Captain Andre knows best. As for special supplies, you can discuss with Chris and the others.”

Lin Dan nodded in understanding. Ordinary supplies are very simple. They are nothing more than fresh water, oil, food, medicine, and other things. The supplies that can meet daily needs and conduct scientific research are all ordinary supplies. As for special supplies, let alone guns and ammunition, some high-end military supplies, these are all special supplies.

Captain Andre doesn't need these special supplies, but Chris and the others definitely can.

Their trip to the Arctic region this time is not just for fun, they are going to hunt for treasure, who knows what emergencies will happen, so the necessary guns and ammunition must be prepared.

But Yang Jing doesn't need to worry about these things, Chris and the others are the experts, what they need, Yang Jing only needs to pay for it.

After wandering around on the boat, both Yang Jing and Ge Ge were very satisfied. Although this ship is not as luxurious as the super yachts built by the rich and wealthy, it is still quite good. It is much more comfortable than ordinary ocean-going cargo ships. Even if it cannot be compared with the top cruise ships, it is definitely worse. not going anywhere.

After getting off the boat, Yang Jing asked Andre, How many people can the Blue Whale accommodate?

For this, Captain Andre understands very well, Under normal circumstances, the Blue Whale needs 24 crew members. This is a very modern ocean-going polar scientific research ship, so it only needs 24 crew members. It is enough. In addition, in addition to the crew, the ship can also carry 128 scientific research personnel.

Yang Jing nodded. After all, this is a scientific research ship, and the equipment that needs to be maintained on the ship far exceeds that of an ocean-going cargo ship that only requires a dozen crew members. However, only twenty-four crew members are enough to prove that this ship is advanced.

Coupled with the fact that it can carry 128 scientific expedition personnel, this ship is already very comfortable.

Of course, if Yang Jing and the others were going to the Arctic waters, there would definitely not be so many people going there. Apart from Yang Jing and Lin Dan, there were only Chris and his four plus Carl Morris' eight-member mercenary team, making a total of fifteen people.

That’s right, Yang Jing went to the Arctic region to search for treasures. After thinking about it, Yang Jing asked Chris and the others to contact Carl Morris’s mercenary team again. After all, this trip is to the Arctic region, so it is very important to guarantee a certain amount of force. necessary.

Carl Morris's mercenary team was the one hired by Yang Jing when he went to Algeria last time. In the Oham oil field, Morris' mercenary team teamed up with the oil field guards to kill all the Libyans who sneaked up. Killed.

During the firefight that night, Morris's mercenary team won Yang Jing's trust in terms of skill and vigilance. So when going out this time, the first thing Yang Jing thought of was the eight of them.

Carl Morris didn't hesitate at all about Yang Jing's call again, and immediately led the team to the United States by plane.

Morris and Chris used to be comrades-in-arms, and they had a very close relationship. After seeing Chris, the four of them have now transformed into bodyguards, and they are living quite comfortably. To put it badly, Karl Morris is very envious.

As a mercenary who dances on the tip of a knife and puts his head on his belt all day long, of course they also desire to have a sufficiently stable and relatively safe life.

Last time in Algeria, Karl Morris had a very good feeling for Yang Jing. This boss may not look young, but he is rich, and he is never stingy with his subordinates. He is definitely the favorite type of boss for their group of mercenaries.

So last time in the Oham Oilfield, Karl Morris and his mercenary team showed their skills, proving the ability of their mercenary team.

Sure enough, Yang Jing remembered them, and this time he went to the Arctic expedition, he immediately summoned Morris and the others again.

For Yang Jing's call, Morris and the others were naturally very happy to go. In their minds, it would be the best if they could become the bodyguard of the young rich man like Chris and the others.

Yang Jing said to Lin Dan beside him: For this supply, try to add as many good things as possible. Don't be afraid to spend money. We don't suffer when we go out. Do you understand?

Lin Dan smiled and said: Don't worry, Brother Yang, I will arrange it. As long as you dare to pay, I will dare to rectify it for you according to the highest standard.

Yang Jing smiled and waved his hands and said, Well, money is not a problem, you can just arrange it.

Lin Dan went to discuss special supplies with Chris and the others, while Yang Jing discussed the general route of the trip with Captain Andre. Issues in this area are also very important and involve the entire voyage arrangement, so it is necessary to communicate with Captain Andre in advance.

According to Yang Jing's vision, this trip to sea starts from Boston, then goes north along the North American continent, bypasses Newfoundland, enters the Labrador Sea, and then continues northward along the Davis Strait, crossing the Bahamas. Finn Bay and Smith Strait, culminating in the northern tip of Ellesmere Island.

This route is actually the forward route drawn on the pirate nautical chart. At that time, Mr. Sea Snake Boardman drew this nautical chart whether it represented a treasure or was just a random drawing. It is still uncertain now. We can only walk along this route and judge according to the actual situation.

It is best to have treasures, if not, just play around. After arriving at the northern end of Ellesmere Island, they crossed the entire Arctic Ocean and finally arrived at the end of the Tsar's Treasure Map drawn by Kuvajevic Antonov.

These all need to be communicated with Captain Andre, which is very important. Because it is uncertain whether some places can be navigated, everything has to rely on Andre's experience to make a judgment.
