Happy Tycoon

At this time, the ship's correspondent said loudly: "Captain, we have contacted Alert, and they welcome us over."

Grid smiled and nodded at Captain Andre, his face full of expectation. As for Yang Jing, he just shrugged his shoulders. His attention was not in this aspect at the moment, because when he searched for "Alert" on his mobile phone, he suddenly discovered that the location of the northernmost settlement of mankind was actually similar to that of the "Sea Snake". "The position of the black six-pointed star in the nautical chart drawn by Boardman coincides.

"Chandler, left rudder 108, speed five knots, we are going along the coastline on the left, and we will anchor when we reach the designated spot."

Chandler is the pilot of the ship, and the captain does not personally control the ship more often.

Yang Jing whispered to Grid: "You can play here first, I'm going back to the room, something needs to be confirmed."

Grid was on Xing's head and nodded, Yang Jing turned and walked out of the cockpit and returned to his room.

Back in the room, Yang Jing took out the pirate nautical chart from the space, and compared it against a Canadian map. It was really such a thing.

The nautical chart drawn by Mr. Boardman more than 300 years ago, the location of the black six-pointed star, isn't it at the northeast end of Ellesmere Island?

Of course, the nautical chart that Boardman drew is very simple, but it can be simple. Some of the most basic things in this nautical chart he drew are quite accurate, such as the North American continent, such as Greenland, and then Greenland. Smith Strait between Ellesmere Island.

The black six-pointed star on the nautical chart covers a relatively large area. If compared with modern accurate maps, the area covered by this six-pointed star includes not only Cape Shelleyton at the northeast end of Ellesmere Island, but also Coutiner Park Most of the national park is covered.

A small six-pointed star is not big, but the area covered on this nautical chart is bigger. According to Yang Jing's estimation, the six-pointed star painted by Mr. Boardman would cover an area of ​​at least several thousand square kilometers!

Cheating! This fellow Bodman is really cheating!

You said that if you leave such an unclear nautical chart, do you have to draw such a black six-pointed star for Mao? Why don't you mark a point? Why use his sister's six-pointed star to mark it?

Anyway, you can paint smaller ones. Is the painting so big for fear that people will not see it or what?

Yang Jing didn't think about this before, but now that things are coming, he realized that this nautical chart left by Bodman was really a bit cheating!

Even with the Sky Eye skill, it is not easy to search such a large area.

The door was knocked, and Yang Jing said without looking back, "Please come in, we are not locked."

The door was pushed open, and Chris Button walked in with John Bruno.

"Oh, let me just say it, the boss must be here." John Bruno said to Chris with a smile, and Chris explained: "Boss, we didn't see you in the cockpit just now, so we looked for it."

"It's okay, there is no need to be so nervous on the boat. We are now in the Arctic Ocean, and there is no boat within a few hundred nautical miles around. What are you worried about? By the way, you two are here just right. I think we have encountered a problem. I need you to help me advise."

Chris and John walked over and saw the parchment nautical chart placed with a map of Canada.

"What's the matter, BOSS? Is there anything that makes you so embarrassed?"

Yang Jing shook his head helplessly and pointed at the black hexagram and said: "The area covered by this hexagram is too large. If it is converted into the actual area in reality, it would be thousands of square kilometers. How can we find it? The real place represented by this six-pointed star?"

Yang Jing pointed out the window, "Although it is July, the temperature here is still too low, and there will be a snowstorm from time to time. It is not easy for us to look for such a large area."

Chris also frowned and stared at the two maps. After a long time, he also shook his head and said: "Boss, this is indeed a problem. If we use a crawler snowmobile, we must take such an area. After the search is completed, it will take at least 20 days. And in this kind of weather, I am afraid that snowmobiles cannot be used on land."

The temperature of the land rises much faster than the ocean, so although there is still nearly half a meter of ice on the Arctic Ocean, at this time in some lower altitude areas on Ellesmere Island, the tundra has begun to turn green. . In most areas along the coast, the snow has melted. Naturally, crawler snowmobiles can no longer be used in this situation.

Bruno hugged his arms and said, "Chris, have you forgotten that we still have a big guy? That thing can fly."

Chris said: "I haven't forgotten, but the thing can only fly in the sky and cannot search the ground carefully. It will be really fast to do that stuff, but it is also impossible to find the exact location represented by this six-pointed star."

Yang Jing's eyes lit up when he heard Bruno's words and he patted his forehead. Why did he forget the helicopter?

For others, it is almost impossible to search for a hidden place on the ground with a helicopter, but for Yang Jing, he has a large-scale search skill like the "eye of the sky" and uses a helicopter to fly high in the sky. It is relatively easy to search for the precise location of the hiding spot that may be a pirate treasure.

After thinking about it for a while, Yang Jing stopped the argument between Chris and John. "Needless to say, the matter is settled in this way. We will search by helicopter. First determine a general location, and then Conduct a ground search."

Hearing Yang Jin's words, John lifted his chin at Chris, and Chris surrendered with both hands, "Well John, you won this time."

After determining the search method, Yang Jing's mood became very good. Only then did he realize how reliable it is to rent a fully equipped polar scientific research ship. If you rent ordinary ocean-going freighters, these ocean-going freighters are usually not equipped with helicopters, so you can really get caught up in this situation.

Not only here, but the search for the treasure of the last tsar in the back is also inseparable from this helicopter. The treasure map of the last tsar drawn by Kuvayevich Antonov only marked a general location. If you want to find an accurate treasure hiding spot, it really is. It's hard, and it's not uncommon to even go home empty-handed.

Now with this helicopter, finding the precise location is almost a certainty.

In a good mood, Yang Jing brought a group of people to the cockpit and watched the operation of the Blue Whale anchoring and stopping the ship.

The Blue Whale has a full displacement of 18,500 tons and a draft of 8.9 meters. Although the Blue Whale is not fully loaded, the draft is close to 8 meters, so this big ship can only dock in the sea a few kilometers away from the coastline. on flat surface.

Here, the phenomenon of seawater freezing has disappeared. The closer the seawater is to the land, the faster the freezing and melting speed will be.

However, some vehicles such as off-road vehicles cannot be transported to land because they cannot get to the shore. They can only transport people to the shore by assault boats and helicopters.

In addition to the driver and three crew members, the first assault boat was packed with various ingredients. Since they are going to Alert as a guest, they can't go empty-handed.

The second assault boat was full of people. Except for the people who stayed behind on the Blue Whale, the others could be handled by an assault boat and a helicopter.

In fact, with a telescope from here, you can see the Canadian flag flying high above Alert, and on the shore, more than a dozen people are standing there waiting for the arrival of the assault boat.

At the speed of the assault boat for several kilometers, it took less than a few minutes to arrive. After the second assault boat that Carl Morris was riding on was also ashore, Yang Jing, Grid and the four bodyguards took the helicopter. The plane flew directly to the Alert camp. It is worth mentioning that the helicopter pilot is Chris. He didn't worry about handing over the helicopter to someone else to drive.

As the northernmost settlement of human beings on the planet, Alert has a small area, only a hundred meters in radius, and there are less than twenty large and small buildings. About 150 meters to the north of the camp, there is the camp’s oil storage area, where eight large oil tanks stand. About 1.5 kilometers further north is the airstrip of Alert.

This airport was opened up from the tundra~www.readwn.com~ The runway length is 1,500 meters, which is enough for a big man like a -10 transport plane to take off and land.

There is no port in Alert. If supplies or personnel are transported here, there are only primitive dog sleds except the plane. However, dog sleds are now mostly used by talents who come to adventure, and airplanes are still Alert's main supply and transportation tool.

It’s just that Alert’s location is too far to the north. The climate here, especially in the cold season, is very harsh, and it’s not easy to replenish it by plane. It is said that since the establishment of this base, two planes have caused plane crashes due to transporting supplies to the camp, resulting in a total of 14 deaths.

Therefore, although Alert Airport is the northernmost airport on earth, the utilization rate of this airport is very low. Unless something is necessary, this airport is almost never opened.

In this case, the ten crew members of the Blue Whale, including the captain Andrei Mirakinov, plus Yang Jing and 15 people, came to the northernmost human settlement in the world!
