Happy Tycoon

Under the leadership of Andrei Mirakinov, the group boarded this huge 10,000-ton polar scientific research ship.

Looking at the ship below, they felt that the ship was big enough, but after they really boarded the ship, they realized that the ship was much bigger than 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 force of 200 tons.

Seeing that both Yang Jing and Grid were paying attention to the two flat cranes, Andrei Mirakinov explained: "These two spreaders are the largest equipment on our ship, and they are also the ones with the strongest lifting capacity. Equipment. With these two spreaders, a lot of heavy scientific research equipment can be easily loaded and disembarked. At the same time, these two spreaders also have ice-breaking capabilities. Under special circumstances, these two spreaders can extend their lifting Before the arm reaches the bow, the steel icebreaker is then used to assist the hull to break the ice together. This is an indispensable equipment on the polar scientific research ship."

Like his accent, the man who just became the captain of the Blue Whale is a Russian immigrant. Before emigrating, he worked at the St. Petersburg Shipyard in Russia and has very rich experience in shipbuilding. Of course, he also knows about ships. Far more powerful than the average captain or chief engineer.

The layout of this ship is that there are cabins in the bow and stern, and the middle part is the deck. The 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.

"These containers will become natural refrigerators after entering the polar waters. Some supplies can be placed directly in these containers, saving a lot of space in the cabin below."

Andrei Mirakinov explained as he led the way toward the cabin at the bow of the ship.

Different from the deck cabins of ordinary ocean-going cargo ships located at the back of the hull, this polar scientific research ship has two deck cabins. Above the front deck of the hull, there is a five-story deck cabin. The top cabin is the cockpit, which is also here. The highest position of the ship, usually the captain and pilot are driving this ocean-going ship here.

Below the cockpit, there are cabins where some laboratories and scientific research personnel live, and some major crew members will also live in the deck cabins on the bow.

There is also a deck cabin at the stern. This deck cabin is only three storeys high. Inside it is mainly the wheelhouse, helicopter parking cabin and the engineer’s living quarters. Of course, below the stern deck cabin is the heart of the ship-the engine.

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

The Blue Whale is equipped with an Augusta A109 light helicopter, which is a very mature helicopter that can sail even in Antarctica after proper modification.

Below the deck cabin is the cargo warehouse. The huge warehouse can carry massive amounts of supplies. Because the polar scientific research ship is not only responsible for the task of polar scientific research, it is often also responsible for the task of transporting supplies to the polar scientific research station, so the displacement of the polar scientific research ship is often not small, so that it can be used for the polar scientific research in one dispatch. Bring enough supplies to the test station.

But when Yang Jing and the others entered the cargo warehouse, except for some equipment such as snowmobiles and snowmobiles, the other storage places were empty.

"Mr. Lin, we cannot determine how long it will take to go to the Arctic waters this time, nor do we know what kind of materials and equipment you need, so we did not supply it. Of course, if you can determine the supplies and additional equipment you need. , We can complete the supplies needed for this voyage within two days. From fresh water to food, medicines to the additional equipment you need, we can all supply them within two days."

Hearing Andre's explanation, Yang Jing understood the meaning. What Captain Andre said is already very clear. One is that we don’t know what supplies you need and what additional equipment you bring, so you can’t supply them. Secondly, you are chartering a boat. According to the lease agreement, you will have to pay for the supply and fuel. If you don't pay, how can we make up for you?

Yang Jing nodded and turned to Lin Dan and said, "Today you will discuss with Captain Andre and see what supplies are needed. Well, I mean ordinary supplies. We are going to the polar waters and the Arctic regions. On land, Captain Andrey knows some common supplies best. As for special supplies, you can discuss with Chris and the others."

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

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

They are not simply visiting the Arctic this time. They are going to hunt for treasure. The ghost knows what emergencies will be encountered, so the necessary guns and ammunition must be prepared.

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

Wandering around on the boat, both Yang Jing and Grid were very satisfied. Although this ship is not as luxurious as the superyachts built by the rich and powerful, it is also quite good. It is much more comfortable than the average ocean freighter. Even if it cannot be compared with the top cruise ships, it is definitely inferior. Not where to go.

After getting off the ship, Yang Jing asked Andre: "How many people can the Blue Whale hold?"

For this, Captain Andre understood very well, "Under normal circumstances, the Blue Whale needs 24 crew members. This is a very modern ocean-going polar scientific research ship, so only 24 crew members are needed. That’s enough. In addition, in addition to the crew, this ship can also carry 128 scientific researchers."

Yang Jing nodded. This is a scientific research ship after all. The equipment on board needs to be maintained far exceeds that of an ocean freighter that only needs a dozen crew members, but only 24 crew members are needed, which is enough to prove that the ship is advanced.

In addition, it can carry 128 scientific research personnel, and this ship is actually very comfortable.

Of course, if Yang Jing and the others were going to the Arctic waters, they would definitely not go to so many people. Except for Yang Jing and Lin Dan, there are only Chris, the four of them, and Karl Morris's eight-man mercenary team, totaling fifteen people.

That’s right, this time I went to the Arctic to look for treasures. After thinking about it, Yang Jing asked Chris to contact Carl Morris’s mercenary team again. necessary.

Carl Morris’s mercenary squad was the one hired when Yang Jing went to Algeria last time. In the Oham Oilfield, Morris’s mercenary squad also worked with the oilfield guard to take all the Libyans who sneaked into the attack. Killed.

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

Carl Morris did not hesitate to call Yang Jing the big benefactor again, and immediately led the team to fly to the United States.

Morris and Chris were once comrades-in-arms, and the relationship was very close. Seeing Chris and the four of them have now transformed into bodyguards, and lived quite comfortably, Carl Morris was very envious of them.

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 long for a stable and relatively safe life.

Last time in Algeria, Carl Morris was very good to Yang Jing's senses. This boss doesn't look young, but he is rich, and he is never stingy with his subordinates. He is definitely their favorite type of boss for this group of mercenaries.

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

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

For Yang Jing's call, Morris and the others are naturally very happy to go. In their thoughts, if they can become the bodyguard of the young rich like Chris, that would be the best.

Yang Jing said to Lin Dan next to him: "This time supply, try to add some good things as much 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 you according to the highest standards."

Yang Jing smiled and waved his hand and said, "Well, money is not a problem, you can just arrange it~www.readwn.com~ Lin Dan went to discuss with Chris and the others about special supplies, Yang Jing and Andre The captain discussed the general route for this time out to sea. This aspect is also very important and involves the entire voyage arrangement, so it is necessary to communicate with Captain Andre in advance.

According to Yang Jing’s vision, this time out to sea is to start from Boston, then follow the North American continent to the north, bypass Newfoundland, enter the Labrador Sea, and then continue north along the Davis Strait, crossing Pakistan. The Bay of Fern and Smith Strait eventually reached the northern end of Ellesmere Island.

This route is actually the forward route drawn on the pirate nautical chart. At that time, whether Mr. "Sea Snake" Boardman drew this nautical chart represented a treasure or scribbled it casually, it is still uncertain now, only to walk a circle along this route, and then judge according to the actual situation.

It’s best to have treasures, but if you don’t, just play around. After arriving at the northern end of Ellesmere Island, it traversed the entire Arctic Ocean and finally reached the end of the Tsar’s Treasure Map drawn by Kuvayevich Antonov.

These are all necessary to communicate with Captain Andre, which is very important. Because it is uncertain whether some places are navigable, everything depends on Andrei's experience to make judgments.
