Chapter 157: Chapter 157: Discovery of the Salvage Ship

In fact, the waters that Lin Feng and the others are sailing now are actually Lake Baikal.

It's just that the terrain is long and narrow, like a river, so I don't think it's a lake area, and it's also the entrance of several rivers. Many boats come and go on the river, including fishing boats, cargo ships and passenger ships.

Along the shore of Lake Baikal, there are several small towns in Siberia, so water transportation is also very developed.

After more than an hour, the fishing boat of Lin Feng and four people got out of the narrow and long river, and an endless light blue lake surface appeared in front of them instantly, as if entering the sea.

When we arrived at the lake area, the wind on the lake also picked up. At this time, Lin Feng felt that the fishing boat was a bit small. In this huge freshwater lake, it seemed to be no different from the sea.

"Duojia, go along the lake first, and don't need to enter the center of the lake for the time being."

Lin Feng immediately ordered Duojia to follow the lake. The center of the lake is too stormy, so there is no need to go there. He is also a little worried about this small fishing boat, don't let it capsize just after arriving.

Although the wind and waves are strong, the visibility of the entire lake is very good, and it can be seen far away at a glance.

With a telescope, you can almost see the same.

In this way, the fishing boat moved along the shore of the lake. Lin Feng handed over the observation task to Brother Jun. He sat on the bow of the boat and looked at the bottom of the lake with his mind.

Even if the Tsar's gold is not near the shore, Lin Feng still feels that he should check it out. There are no absolutes in the world. When Kolchak fled in a hurry, no one knew where the gold sank.

More than 1000 tons of gold cannot be concentrated in one sink, and it is conceivable that it will take an extra distance to pull it.

Besides, being idle is idle anyway, and it is also good to look at the bottom ecology of Lake Baikal.

In fact, there are too many legends about the tsar's gold, and there are different opinions. Over the years, modern people have been confused.

Some people say that the train transporting gold was broken back then. Kolchak and his troops could only carry [-] tons away, or by pulling sleds. The rest of the gold that could not be taken away was buried. The range around Kutsk.

In the end, Kolchak's team wanted to cross Lake Baikal, but they all froze to death on the ice and snow on the lake. As the winter passed and the temperature rose, the ice on the lake finally couldn't bear the weight of gold and sank to the bottom of the lake.

In this regard, Lin Feng believes that the credibility is relatively high. At that time, Kolchak had only a small number of people, and it was impossible to take away [-] tons of gold. In addition, the weather was freezing, and the temperature dropped to minus [-] degrees. .

Under such severe cold, it is almost impossible to transport more than 1000 tons of gold.

Being able to take away hundreds of tons is already the limit.

Of course, there is no way to verify everything in the past, and no one really knows what happened back then, not even the route of the troops.

The length of Lake Baikal is more than 600 kilometers. No one can tell exactly where it crosses the lake. It was a chaotic era.

But there is one thing Lin Feng is sure of, that is, 10,000+ people will all freeze to death, dozens of degrees below zero, lack of clothing and food, if encountering a snowstorm on a lake tens of kilometers wide, plus getting lost, what can they do if they don't die!

With such a wide lake, it is normal to get lost. Don’t think that you can just go in one direction. When you reach the center of the lake, you will be surrounded by the same ice and snow, and you will be confused.

However, there are historical rumors that Kolchak has 120 million troops. This Lin Feng can only hehe, not to say that there are no such troops, but these troops have been dispersed when Kolchak fled. Near Kutsk, there are at most 10 people left, which is the sky.

The fishing boat sailed rapidly, and the time passed slowly in this dullness.

Just as the sky was about to darken, suddenly, Brother Jun made a discovery.

"Boss, come and have a look, there are many boats there."

Hearing this, Lin Feng got up instantly, and looked at Brother Jun's telescope. Indeed, there were many boats gathered in the haze, and it seemed that the distance was not very far.

"Come on, slow down, dock, and rest here tonight."

While shouting, Lin Feng came to Brother Jun, picked up another telescope, and looked towards the ships.

"Hahaha, it really is them, I didn't expect to be here."

As soon as Lin Feng saw the huge salvage ship, he was almost sure. At the same time, he was also surprised, yes, too surprised, although many ships could not be seen clearly, but the outline of the huge salvage ship could be seen.

Judging from this, the position of those ships is at most ten kilometers away from the shore.

But this does not mean that this area is shallow water. If you think about the structure of Lake Baikal, you can understand that many places at the bottom of the lake are cliff-like deep water areas.

This Lin Feng could predict that he was unexpectedly so close to the shore. According to those rumors, didn't the gold sink to the bottom of the lake when it was transported to the center of the lake?
It seems that the rumors are really unbelievable!
Moreover, it was very likely that it was not a time of ice and snow. When the troops crossed the lake, it might have warmed up. The ice layer was fragile, so that the ice layer was fractured within a short distance. In this way, the explanation makes sense.

Of course, these are just some speculations of Lin Feng in the blink of an eye.

If the guess is close to ten, then many soldiers did not all die back then, but the water here is deep, and according to the technology at the time, even if they knew it, they would not be able to salvage it.

However, Lin Feng didn't think about it any more. He estimated that the huge salvage ship might belong to Andre. There were many large and small ships near there, some far away and some close. And know.

But it is conceivable that many of them are from various forces.

Lin Feng decided to go and have a look tomorrow during the day, and at the same time, take a look at the water depth in that area.

If it is within 500 meters, then it is really great.

Soon, Duojia had already docked the boat, which is very convenient for this kind of fishing boat. Brother Jun jumped out of the boat and began to drive the anchor pile, and Kawat dropped the rope.

Lin Feng began to throw tents and various camping supplies under the boat.

There is no way, there are only two small and pitiful beds in this small fishing boat, it is better to go ashore and sleep in a tent.

Lin Feng scanned the shore, the woods and slopes with his thoughts, but there was nothing there.

After finishing the boat, Duojia and the other three started to set up the tent, but Lin Feng walked around the area.

This place is so close to those ships, and he has to be on guard against someone spying here, so he has to be careful.

Fortunately, there were no traces of people within a few kilometers nearby.

But you can’t relax at night. There might be a boat docking in the lake. It’s impossible for these people to stare at it like this. They didn’t salvage it in a day or two, and they would eventually find a place to wait.

The place where the tent was set up did not go deep into the woods, which was what Lin Feng told him. He must be able to see the boat and the nearby lake. Be careful.

When Lin Feng turned around and came back, Brother Jun had already removed some of the weapons from the boat.

The three of them did not cook with fire, but prepared their firearms first. They also knew that danger would appear at any time in such a place.

Street gunfights are possible in Irkutsk, let alone such a deserted place.
