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

Looking at the ship below, I felt that the ship was already big enough, but when they really boarded the ship, they realized that the ship was far bigger than they saw.

This is a scientific research ship, and a polar scientific research icebreaker, so there are many huge tools on the ship, such as the two cranes with a 200-ton crane force.

Seeing that Yang Jing and Gege were paying attention to the two flat cranes, Andrei Mirakinov explained: "These two spreaders are the largest equipment on our ship and the most powerful lifting capacity. With these two spreaders, many heavy scientific research equipment can be easily loaded and disembarked. At the same time, these two spreaders also have ice-breaking capabilities. In special circumstances, these two spreaders can extend their arms to the bow, and then use a steel ice-breaking hammer to assist the hull to break the ice together. This is an indispensable equipment on the polar scientific research ship."

Like his accent, this man who had just become the captain of the Blue Whale was a Russian immigrant. Before immigrating, he worked in the St. Petersburg shipyard in Russia and had very rich shipbuilding experience. Of course, his understanding of ships is far better than that of ordinary captains or engineers.

The layout of this ship is that there is a cabin on the bow and stern, and the middle part is the layout of the deck. 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 entering the polar sea, these containers will become natural refrigerators. Some supply materials can be placed directly in these containers, saving a lot of space for the cabin below."

Andrei Mirakinov was explaining while leading the way toward the cabin at the bow.

Unlike ordinary ocean freighters whose deck cabins are located behind the hull, this polar scientific research ship has two deck cabins. On the top of the deck in front of the hull, there is a five-story high deck cabin. The top-level cabin is the cockpit, which is also the highest position on the entire ship. Usually, the captain and driver drive this ocean giant ship here.

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

There are also deck cabins at the stern, which are only three floors high, mainly in the steering room, helicopter parking cabin and the living cabin of the mechanics. Of course, below the stern deck cabin is the heart of the entire ship - the engine.

As for the rear of the stern deck cabin, which is outside the helicopter parking cabin, there is a helicopter apron.

The Blue Whale is equipped with an Augusta AW109 light helicopter, an extremely mature helicopter that can sail even in Antarctica after proper modification.

Below the deck cabin is the cargo warehouse. The huge cargo warehouse can carry a large amount of supplies. Because polar scientific research ships not only undertake the task of polar scientific research, they often also undertake the task of transporting supplies to polar scientific research stations, the displacement of polar scientific research ships is often not small, so once they are dispatched, they can bring enough supplies to polar scientific research stations.

However, when Yang Jing and the others entered the cargo warehouse, except for some equipment such as snowmobile and snowmobile, the other storage and replenishment locations were all empty.

"Mr. Lin, we cannot determine how long it will take to go to the Arctic waters this time, and we don't know what kind of supplies you need, so we didn't replenish it. Of course, if you can determine the supplies you need and the extra equipment you need, we can complete the supplies you need for this departure within two days. From fresh water to food, medicines to the extra equipment you need, we can complete the supplies within two days."

After hearing Andre's explanation, Yang Jing understood the meaning. Captain Andre already understood what he said. One is that we don't know what supplies you need and what kind of extra equipment you carry, so we cannot replenish them. The other is that you are renting a boat. According to the lease agreement, you have to pay for the supplies and oil. If you don't give the money, how can we replenish you?

Yang Jing nodded, turned his head to Lin Dan and said, "Today you discuss with Captain Andre to see what supplies are needed. Well, I mean ordinary supplies. We are going to the polar waters and land in the Arctic region. Captain Andre is the most familiar with some ordinary supplies. As for special supplies, please discuss with Chris and the others."

Lin Dan nodded to show that he understood. Ordinary supplies are simple, nothing more than fresh water, oil, food, medicine and other things. The supplies used for daily use and scientific research are all ordinary supplies. As for special supplies, let alone guns and ammunition, and some high-precision military supplies, these are all special supplies.

Captain Andre couldn't use these special supplies, but Chris and the others could definitely use them.

This time they went to the Arctic region was not just a trip, they were going to hunt for treasures. They knew what emergencies would happen, so they still had to prepare necessary guns and ammunition.

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

After wandering around the boat, both Yang Jing and Ge Ge were very satisfied. Although this ship is not as luxurious as the superyachts built by the rich and wealthy people, it is also quite good. It is much more comfortable than ordinary ocean freighters. Even if it cannot be compared with the top cruise ships, it is definitely not much worse.

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

Regarding this, Captain Andrei understood very well, "Under normal circumstances, the Blue Whale requires twenty-four crews, which is enough. This is a very modern ocean polar scientific research ship, so only twenty-four crews are enough. In addition to the crew, this ship can also carry 128 scientific research personnel."

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

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

Of course, if Yang Jing and the others were going to the Arctic Sea, they would definitely not have so many people. Apart from Yang Jing and Lin Dan, there were only four of them, including Kris and Carl Morris' eight-man mercenary team, with a total of fifteen people.

That's right, this time we went to the Arctic to look for treasures. After thinking about it, Yang Jing asked Chris and the others to contact Carl Morris' mercenary team again. After all, this time we went out to the Arctic, and it is very necessary to ensure a certain amount of force.

Carl Morris' mercenary team was the one hired when Yang Jing went to Algeria last time. In Oham Oilfield, Morris' mercenary team also joined forces with the oilfield guard to kill all the Libyans who were attacking.

During the firefight that night, both in terms of skills and vigilance, Morris's mercenary team won Yang Jing's trust. So this time, Yang Jing's first thought of eight of them was the ones.

Carl Morris did not hesitate at all about Yang Jing's re-summoning, and immediately led the team to the United States by plane.

Morris and Chris were once comrades-in-arms and had a very close relationship. When I saw that Chris and the other four had now turned into bodyguards and lived a very comfortable life. To put it bluntly, Carl Morris was very envious.

As mercenaries who dance on the tip of a knife and keep their heads on their belts all day long, they certainly also long for a stable and relatively safe life.

Last time in Algeria, Carl Morris had a very good sense of Yang Jing. This boss is not young, but he is rich and never stingy with his subordinates. He is definitely the type of boss he likes the most by their mercenaries.

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

Sure enough, Yang Jing remembered them. This time he went to the Arctic to summon Morris and the others to come over again.

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

Yang Jing said to Lin Dan beside him: "This time, try to replenish some good things as much as possible. Don't be afraid of spending money. We will not suffer when we go out. Do you understand?"

Lin Dan smiled and said, "Don't worry, Brother Yang, I will make arrangements. 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, just arrange it."

Lin Dan went to discuss the issue of special supplies with Chris and the others, and Yang Jing discussed the general route of this trip with Captain Andre. This issue is also very important, involving the entire navigation arrangement, so it is necessary to communicate with Captain Andre in advance.

According to Yang Jing's vision, this time he went out to sea from Boston, then went north along the North American continent, bypassed Newfoundland Island, entered the Labrador Sea, and then continued north along the Davis Strait, crossed the Bay of Baffen and Smith Strait, and finally arrived at the northern end of Elsmere Island.

This route is actually the forward route drawn on the pirate navigation chart. At that time, Mr. Bodman, the "Sea Snake", was a sign that represented a treasure or was randomly drawn. It is impossible to determine now. You can only walk around this route and then judge based on the actual situation.

It is best to have treasures, but if you don’t, just play around. After arriving at the northern end of Elsmere Island, you will cross the entire Arctic Ocean and finally arrive at the end of the treasure map of the Tsarist treasure drawn by Kuvaevich Antonov.
