Chapter 458 The misleading adjutant
In fact, if you observe carefully, you can still see many scenes worth laughing along the way.
However, while seeing joy, you will inevitably see something that makes you feel depressed.
For example, just when the Blue Whale was about to reach its destination, Yang Jing and Princess witnessed the cruel side of nature again.
The destination of the Blue Whale is tentatively set to be Rastorguyev Island near the Russian coast. This island is located on a continental shelf. The closest place to the Eurasian continent is less than 400 meters. The entire island is surrounded by an archipelago.
It is obviously impossible to get close to Rastorguyev Island. With the draft of Blue Whale, even if you see Rastorguyev Island, it can only anchor and moor in the waters at least three kilometers away from the island.
This entire area is a strictly unmanned land, and there is no one in it. Where did the deep water port come from to allow the Blue Whale to dock?
Therefore, if you want to board Rastorguyev Island, you still have to count on the two assault boats and the Antarctic Tern helicopter.
But even if you want to get close to this island, you have to carefully pass through the dense islands in the north. When the Blue Whale slowed down and carefully crossed the archipelago, almost everyone on the ship saw this shocking and helpless scene.
A huge sperm whale was stranded.
I don’t know how long the sperm whale has been stranded. Anyway, the huge body is just resting on the coast, half of the body is on the shore, and half is soaked in the sea water.
A big tide happened a few days ago, and it was estimated that this huge sperm whale accidentally ran aground at that time.
For the huge whales, the biggest killer is probably the coastline. Once they are stranded, it usually means death.
This sperm whale, whose weight is at least 25 tons, died here because of this reason.
However, even if it dies, its corpse cannot be preserved.
It was not because of the decay, but because a group of polar bears were eyeing the huge corpse.
The temperatures in the northern hemisphere are relatively high in spring and summer this year, which has led to the difficulty of hunting polar bears more difficult than in previous years. Many polar bears are unable to eat enough when summer comes, and some have not eaten even a little meat and fat for several weeks.
As mentioned earlier, in this case, if the polar bear cannot catch its prey, then the polar bear that cannot replenish enough fat before winter comes will have a more than 90% chance of dying in the harsh winter.
Just like these six or seven polar bears, they are obviously as hungry as the polar bear that was driven away by the walrus herd before. If we judged according to the normal trajectory, these polar bears will not survive this winter.
But the road to the sky is endless. Just when these polar bears were about to starve to death, God took advantage of the opportunity of shallows and the tide to send these polar bears a big gift, a big gift that would allow them to survive this winter - a stranded sperm whale.
Compared with seals and walruses, whales have more fat in their bodies. Although small whales like beluga whales are also above the polar bear recipes, hunting whales in the ocean is still an almost impossible task for polar bears.
However, once the whale is stranded, it will inevitably attract all polar bears within a radius of hundreds of kilometers. A sperm whale weighing 25 tons is enough for six or seven or even ten polar bears to eat one.
It is no exaggeration to say that if the corpse of this sperm whale did not completely rot before winter came, the corpse of this sperm whale could allow ten polar bears to survive a harsh winter.
Nature is so cruel and ruthless, but sometimes it gives a way out.
No wonder the sentence "The life and death of the Arctic are forever intertwined" is so widely circulated in the Arctic Circle. This scene before us has vividly interpreted the true meaning of this sentence.
It's cruel and real, but it makes people feel uncomfortable when they see it.
As they drove along the way, Princess and Yang Jing saw too much joy and sorrow. After the Blue Whale anchored and moored in the sea about three kilometers from the eastern end of Rastorguyev Island, the one-week journey finally ended.
Next, it was Yang Jing and the others who took the initiative to find the treasure of the legendary last tsar according to the treasure map drawn by Kuvaevich Antonov, the adjutant of General Kolchak.
It is not that easy to find the exact place to bury this treasure.
The difficulties faced by Yang Jing and the others were even more difficult than finding Bashalom's treasure some days ago.
The reason for saying this is that the treasure map drawn by Kuvaevich Antonov is too simple and the scale is amazingly small. It is no exaggeration to say that Kuvaevich Antonov used to be an adjutant of Kolchak, but this guy didn't know how to get into this position at the beginning. Not to mention anything else, even General Kolchak would not be able to stand it if he saw this hand-drawn map.
It is said that although Kuvaevich Antonov, you, is not the Prime Minister's Sect's Sect, is not the one who guards the Prime Minister, but General Kolchak is also a Russian admiral. His power is not very strong, but as the adjutant of General Kolchak, why is your level so low? You can't even draw a map well.
The treasure map drawn by Kuvaevich Antonov is smaller than the treasure map drawn by Sea Snake and Bodman, and is only about the same size as the paper of thirty-two. Although the Siberian terrain is drawn on it, and the two lines of the Siberian Railway and the Yenisei River are accurately marked, the guy is painting in a vague way at the final treasure location.
Just a point is located near the Temer Peninsula, and even a goal as big as a Temer Peninsula is plausible.
If Yang Jing could see this Kuvaevich Antonov, he would have spitted this guy a few times.
Are you good to be serious? The Temel Peninsula is a peninsula with an area of 400,000 square kilometers, but you can see what you are painting by yourself!
But no matter how dissatisfied Yang Jing was, he could only complain. After all, no one knew where Mr. Kuvaevich Antonov was buried.
"I guess Mr. Antonov just doesn't want people to find the final place to bury treasures. Or maybe this guy learned that Kolchak was captured by the Red Army after hiding the treasure, so this guy became selfish and drew such a specious map." After looking at the map, the princess made such a judgment firmly.
"Look at the lower half of this map, how accurate the drawings are. Even the Siberian Railway and the Yenisei River are so accurate, how could Mr. Antonov not draw such a large Temer Peninsula? This was obviously intentional. Perhaps Antonov was worried that the picture would be discovered when he was painting this treasure map. But according to his painting method, it would be okay even if this picture was discovered. It is estimated that no one except Antonov himself knew where the specific treasure was."
Princess' words were very reasonable. At this time, let alone Yang Jing, even Chris and the others could see the tricks of this treasure map.
"I guess when you saw this treasure map, because Antonov was the adjutant of General Kolchak, you thought this guy would hide his treasure on the island named after General Kolchak? In fact, it is natural for you to guess so, but it is absolutely wrong."
"The reason why Mr. Antonov drew this treasure map like this was probably to mislead others. Otherwise, why would he not just mark the location on the island in front of us? This island is not small enough to be hundreds of square kilometers. How big is a point? Is it difficult to mark it directly?"
Yang Jing shook his head in distress, "Wife, then what do you mean is it wrong to say that we are anchoring here and stopping the boat?"
"Why is it wrong? Although the treasure map drawn by Antonov at that time was inaccurate, the general scope was in this area. We came by boat, and there was no port around us that could allow the Blue Whale to dock, so we could only anchor here. Don't we have the Antarctic Tern? Isn't it okay to sit out every day to look for it? Anyway, your great qi-looking technique is far away from you and you can see the treasure hiding location of eight or nine." The princess said with a smile.
This made Yang Jing speechless. The "Great Qi-Shocking Technique" compiled at the Beaumont warehouse auction to hide the skills of the Sky Eye was actually regarded as real by everyone. Even the princess, the daughter-in-law of the Yang family, knew it.
"As such a large area, it would be useless even if I had the Great Qi-Seeing Technique! This area is too big, hundreds of thousands of square kilometers."
Princess looked at the treasure map of the pampered scroll, frowned and thought for a while and said, "Actually, we should judge where this guy might eventually hide the treasure based on the route Antonov led the soldiers forward."
"You mean the Yenisei River?"
"Well, it's not what I said. Didn't Antonov write on the back of the treasure map? He was ordered to lead fifty soldiers to carry two military vehicles to the northern part of Siberia to hide these treasures. But when he left Krasnoyarsk, it was a cold season, and the Yenisei River must have no way to go. Therefore, Antonov is likely to follow what Kolchak said, and first advance north along the Yenisei River and arrive in Tungus. When the cold passes, the Yenisei River opens, and he has a great possibility to take the soldiers and the two trucks on a boat down the Yenisei River. Otherwise, why did he draw the Yenisei River so clearly?"
"You mean Antonov is likely to reach the Arctic Ocean along the thawed Yenisei River? Perhaps these treasures are hidden in an island in the Arctic Ocean?"
