The beginning of the dragon race on the Maybach

Chapter 153 YAMAL Icebreaker ([-] words)

Greenland, a region where 80.00% of the land is covered by ice and snow, but the name literally means "green continent" in Danish, the official language of Denmark.

According to legend, around 982 A.D., a Norwegian pirate nicknamed "Eric the Red" rowed a small boat and set off from Iceland across the ocean.Friends thought he was too courageous, and they all worried about his safety.Later, he found a piece of water and grassland less than one kilometer in the south of Greenland, which was very green and he liked it very much.After returning to his hometown, he proudly said to his friends: "Not only did I come back safely, but I also found a green continent!"

So "Green Continent" (Greenland) has become its permanent title.

There are many ancient legends, but among the many ancient legends, there are only two that can arouse the interest of Kassel College.

Legend has it that there is a huge bronze castle deep in the ice and snow in Northern Europe. Its owner is a giant dragon. The giant dragon who likes shiny things has collected treasures in the castle that ordinary people can't spend in a few lifetimes.

There is also a legend that in the Arctic Circle, there is a terrible monster, which is the monster Leviathan created by God himself in the Bible.There are many legends about Leviathan. Some say it is a dragon, some say it is a devil hiding in the deep sea of ​​the Arctic Circle, and some say it is a giant white sperm whale with extremely strong aggressiveness. Will attack the same kind.

Leviathan has appeared in many myths. In Indian mythology, it is called timingila. In Greek mythology, it is one of Poseidon's pets. The whale constellation is named after it.Many Inuit living in the Arctic Circle claim to have seen Leviathan, saying that Leviathan is the king of whales, who is in a state of hibernation all year round and only swims out of his ice cave every 60 years. Swim around the North Pole, patrolling your territory and hunting for a variety of fish along the way.So whenever Leviathan is about to appear, all kinds of fish will quickly flee the Arctic Circle for refuge.

These two legends were told by Sacha Rebarco, the captain of the YAMAL icebreaker under Eva's contract, when he was chatting with three girls, Xia Mi, Susie and Nono.It sounds like the legends spoken by this "ordinary man" captain are so absurd and uninhibited, but Chen Hongjian knows that the legends spoken by him are basically facts.

As for why you want to charter an icebreaker with "ordinary people" as the captain and crew, it is because this is the largest icebreaker in the world. The YAMAL icebreaker is 55 meters high, 150 meters long, and 30 meters wide at its widest point. It has 12 floors, four of which are underwater, including all guest rooms, storage rooms, control rooms, libraries, lounges, theaters, There are a total of 1280 cabins in bars, volleyball halls, gyms, indoor heated swimming pools and saunas, etc.

The most important thing is that it has two nuclear reactors, and the steel armor on the outer layer of the hull is as thick as 4.8 centimeters, which is enough to break through all kinds of hard icebergs and ice layers.

Moreover, as an icebreaker equipped with two heavy water reactors that can destroy the entire Arctic Ocean, it takes about 3 months for the two reactors of the YAMAL to be filled with one ton of nuclear fuel each time, and these nuclear fuels are enough to maintain the operation of the "YAMAL" for four years , including heating and electricity for sailing and supporting the boat.

Moreover, the nuclear power plant of the YAMAL is not as dangerous as they imagined. It has zero radiation, and in the event of an accident, all control programs can shut down the entire reactor within 0.6 seconds.

To be honest, even the well-informed Caesar was a little surprised when he saw the icebreaker that was chartered by Eva.But it is also with such an icebreaker that they dare to embark on a journey to the Arctic Circle.

Chen Hongjian and others stood on the deck, leaning on the railing, watching the busy crew members and the commissioners of the executive department who were moving equipment.

The giant icebreaker has not set off yet and remains in the port of Aberdeen, Scotland.

The first is maintenance, and the second is to replenish enough supplies for them to live in the Arctic Circle. The cargo ship is directly hoisted to the rear deck by the tower crane on the ship, and then the crew drives a truck and a handling robot to load all the supplies in the warehouse. middle.

Caesar's ice-blue pupils looked at a man in a black dress and a delicate silk scarf, who looked like a British butler, and stepped forward suspiciously.

"Passy? What are you?"

Caesar saw clearly the man who was directing the crew to carry the goods, and frowned slightly.

"Master." Patsy bowed slightly, with a faint smile on his lips.

"Mr. Frost was worried about your safety, so he ordered me to come and see if I could be of any help," Percy said respectfully, "By the way, I also brought some daily necessities that the young master needs, which should be enough This mission is used."

"My daily necessities?"

Caesar didn't understand what Percy meant. He had already brought all the clothes for a change of clothes. What other daily necessities are there?
"100 bottles of aged Port wine, 1000 Padron Collection No. 44 Maduro cigars, 200 bottles of various brands of red wine from the family collection, and 200 bottles of champagne. Considering that your mission will take a long time Therefore, I have prepared 400 bottles of white wine for you, as well as dried abalone from Japan and blue lobster from France, all of which you like, young master.

In addition, considering that the young master may be tired of eating seafood, I also prepared 10000 pounds of various red meats and 1000 pounds of various white meats for you.In the end, I sent two of your most satisfied chefs from the family kitchen to accompany you. "

After Passy finished talking about this series of things, Caesar's face turned dark.He has been having fun with the people recently, and he has stopped acting like those noble sons, at least in his opinion.

No way, he found that a certain girl hates that kind of dude, so he is trying to change his style, even accepting instant coffee and "cheap" meals in the cafeteria, just because he doesn't want that girl to feel that he is a The second generation ancestor who couldn't bear hardships managed to break into her social circle, and as a result, Percy
Caesar was hesitating whether to kick this "caring" secretary into the sea, when suddenly he was patted on the shoulder, and turned his head to see that it was Chen Hongjian holding back a smile.

He naturally knew the reason for Caesar's sudden change in style, and he wasn't like some sisters who would break other people's legs at every turn.

"The revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard!"

Chen Hongjian looked at Caesar solemnly. Although Caesar didn't understand the meaning of Chen Hongjian's words, he knew it was not a good thing when he saw Xia Mi burying his head on Susie's shoulder and laughing wildly. .

Nuonuo chewed the bubble gum indifferently, blew a white bubble, and looked at Caesar vaguely.

"In addition, I also prepared 500 cans of Pepsi, 500 cans of Hedy Sprite, and various hot pot bases for Mr. Chen Hongjian." Passy looked at Chen Hongjian with a smile on his face.

The smile on Chen Hongjian's face disappeared in an instant, and Caesar couldn't help laughing when he saw Chen Hongjian who was forced to change into a fifty-step smile.

Schneider looked at the deck full of laughter, breathed the icy air, felt the chill from his lungs, and his body trembled slightly.

What a familiar breath, how many years have I not breathed such cold air through my respiratory tract.

Suddenly, he felt someone approaching slowly from behind him.

Schneider turned his head and found that it was Captain Rebarco walking over with two bottles of vodka.

He has blue pupils and short chestnut hair. He is tall and sturdy, with strong muscles. The sea breeze and sun exposure have made his skin old, but he still looks full of vitality and enthusiasm, which is a bit like a young version of Angers.

"Hey Professor Schneider, I think you seem a little cold, would you like a bottle to warm you up?"

Schneider looked at Captain Rebalco dumbfounded, he was just trembling with excitement, but he didn't explain much.

In fact, he hasn't had a drink for many years. Doctors have banned him from drinking and smoking, but now that he is back to health, he doesn't mind a bottle of hard liquor.

Schneider readily took the vodka from Captain Relbako and drank half a bottle.

Captain Relbaco looked at this man who looked a little old but still had a strong body, and his affection doubled.

For the Russians, they are friends if they have had a drink together and have a good capacity for alcohol, especially Schneider, a straightforward friend who drank half a bottle of vodka with his head raised.

After two sips of wine, Captain Relbako also chatted with the operation captain of Schneider's research institute.

"You must be the richest institute in the world!"

Looking at the boxes of supplies that were loaded onto the ship under the command of Passy, ​​Captain Rebarco admired them.

Schneider claimed that his team was a private research institute from the United States. They were going to the Arctic Circle to study the incredible temperature changes in Greenland, so they spared no expense to hire the YAMAL for a polar expedition.

And he saw that guy who was a security guard transporting strange-shaped guns onto the ship, including ten strange-shaped torpedoes.

Not to mention the weapons and equipment that are enough to re-arm the YAMAL, which has long been a sightseeing ship, into a military icebreaker, but only the materials
Passi explained to him that the crew members can also use a certain share of the materials on the ship, and if there are any remaining materials on board after this scientific research mission is over, they will be given to Relbako as a gift free of charge.

Such a large amount of all kinds of drinks and high-grade ingredients, even if you eat and drink openly, there will be at least one-third of the journey left.

"We have the full support of several world-class families behind us. For example, the blond nobleman you saw is the only heir of one of them." Schneider spread his hands.

It was difficult for Captain Relbaco not to notice this young man, who was an extremely perceptive man.Although Caesar has been restraining himself as much as possible not to show it, he has a feeling that everything around him is under Caesar's surveillance, even including things that happen in the dead corners of his vision and outside his sight, although he doesn't know how Caesar did it.

The Asian boy holding a samurai sword quietly leaned against the railing and watched the crowd's hilarity.Captain Relbaco had been staring at him for less than three seconds, and the boy looked over as if he had sensed it. The sharp light in his eyes made Captain Relbaco feel a little bit of fear.

The other Asian boy with a long sword on his waist was not ordinary, he had a good conversation, and he seemed to have a very good relationship with the blond nobleman, just like the modest gentleman said in ancient China.But Captain Relbaco could tell that this was a sharp sword with its sharp edge hidden in its scabbard, and he was definitely not to be messed with.

The only normal-looking people on board were the playful girl who seemed to be a pair with the hidden boy, and the girl who was kidnapped because she was afraid of death and refused to enter the Arctic Circle for a scientific research mission, according to Schneider. Get up and throw the German brawn on the deck.

"Professor Schneider, before the ship officially departs, may I ask the reason why your team went to sea?"

Relbako leaned on the railing and looked at Schneider.

"Captain Relbaco, I think we have already said that when we chartered this ship, we are going to the Arctic Circle to study the sudden change of climate." Schneider drank the vodka in the bottle and said silently smiled.

"Oh, Professor Schneider, we are also friends who have had a drink together, and your behavior is not enough for friends." Relbaco also drank the vodka in the bottle, and the two smiled at each other.

Schneider shook his head and asked for a tablet from the members of the executive department.

Relbaco's sudden attack caused him some minor troubles, but it was also within his expectation.

After all, as Major Alexandre Rybalco, it was normal to have such insight.

At the beginning, when Eva chartered the ship, she hesitated whether to replace the crew with the commissioner of the executive department, but she thought the operation of this military-grade icebreaker was too complicated, after all, the ship used a full set of Soviet Technology, if the commissioner of the executive department is allowed to learn temporarily, not to mention that there may be problems in operation and lack of experience, it will take at least half a year just to learn, so Eva also hired these crew members by the way.

Schneider slid the tablet a few times with his leather gloved hand, then pointed the tablet at Relbako, and a detailed chart appeared in front of his eyes.

"Sasha Rybalko, whose real name is Alexander Rybalko, once belonged to a certain Russian special force with the rank of major."

Relbako looked at this document in disbelief. His personal information was a state secret, and not many people in Russia could retrieve it.He always thought that he had already assessed the strength of this research institute, but he still underestimated the other party unexpectedly.

"I know that after retiring, you were supposed to live under the surveillance of the government until you died. But your ex-wife Natasha has become a vegetable and needs a lot of medical expenses, and your sister, her school expenses are also very expensive. Big. The pension is not enough to meet your expenses, so you and a group of former teammates who are also due to insufficient pensions have refitted and used new identities to become the captain and crew of this ship."

Schneider looked at Relbako, who became tense, and patted him on the shoulder.

"However, don't worry, we don't care about these things. On the contrary, it is precisely because you come out to risk your life for your family, coupled with your character of emphasizing love and righteousness, that we feel that you are a trustworthy friend."

"It's a touching story. I think I should pay a group of friends who are worth entrusting with a salary that is in line with this trust in return. Passi, I leave it to you!"

Caesar, who has amazing observation skills, has already discovered the changes here, and he will not dislike such a kind and righteous man as his captain.

"Understood, master." Passy took out a foldable tablet from his arms, and handed it to Rebalco after a few simple operations.

"54 crew members, $45 each, Captain Rebalco, your personal remuneration is $750 million, and if anyone dies, he will receive double that. All payments have been made, but I am using them at the same time All of your bank accounts have been frozen by special means and will not be unfrozen until after the mission is over and the ship returns and docks at any port in Europe."

Rebalco took the tablet suspiciously and glanced at it, looking at the amount in all their bank accounts in disbelief.

More than $3000 million was given to them without batting an eye?
"Sacha Rybalco, will go through fire and water for you!"

Rebalco's eyes were full of fighting spirit and the excitement of being trusted, and he saluted Schneider and Caesar respectfully with a standard sailor's salute.

　Happy National Day everyone, celebrate the 72nd birthday of the great motherland!
