Led by Andrei Milakinov, the group boarded the huge 10,000-ton polar research ship.
Looking at the ship below, they thought it was big enough, but when they actually boarded the ship, they realized that the ship was far bigger than what they saw.
This is a research ship, and it is a polar research icebreaker, so there are a lot of huge tools on board, such as the two cranes with a lifting force of 200 tons.
Seeing that Yang Jing and Gege were paying attention to the two cranes that were laid down, Andrei Milakinov explained: "These two spreaders are the largest equipment on our ship, and they are also the equipment with the strongest lifting capacity.
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 the ability to break the ice, in special cases, these two spreaders can extend their boom to the front of the bow, and then use a steel icebreaker hammer to assist the hull to break the ice together, which is an indispensable equipment for polar research ships. ” As his accent suggests, the newcomer to captain the Blue Whale is a Russian immigrant who worked at the St.
Petersburg shipyard in Russia before he immigrated, and has a lot of experience in shipbuilding, and of course, knows more about ships than the average captain or chief engineer.
The layout of the ship was one with a bow and stern cabin and a deck in the middle, and the two huge spreaders were mounted on the middle deck of the hull.
On the deck between the two spreaders, six containers are placed.
"After these containers enter the polar seas, they will become natural refrigerators, and some supplies can be placed directly in these containers, saving a lot of space for the cabin below."
Andrei Milakinov explained, and led the way to the cabin at the bow of the ship.
Unlike ordinary ocean-going freighters, where the deck cabins are located at the back of the hull, this polar research ship has two deck cabins, above the front deck of the hull, is a five-storey deck cabin, and the topmost cabin is the cockpit, which is also the highest position of the whole ship, where the captain and the pilot usually drive this ocean-going giant ship.
Underneath the cockpit are some of the laboratories and the cabins where the scientific personnel live, and some of the main crew members also live in the deck cabins at the bow.
There is also a deck cabin at the stern, which is only three stories high, and is mainly used for the wheelhouse, the helicopter parking cabin, the living cabin for the engineer and, of course, below the aft deck cabin, is the heart of the whole ship - the engine.
Further back in the aft deck cabin, outside the helicopter parking bay, is a helipad.
The Blue Whale is equipped with an Augusta A109 light helicopter, which is an extremely mature helicopter that, with the appropriate modifications, can sail even in the South Pole.
Below the deck compartment is the cargo hold.
Huge warehouses can carry a huge amount of supplies.
Because polar research ships are not only responsible for polar scientific expeditions, but also often on the task of transporting supplies for polar scientific research stations, the displacement of polar scientific research ships is often not small, so that a single dispatch can bring enough supplies to the polar scientific research station.
However, when Yang Jing and the others entered the cargo hold, except for some equipment such as snowmobiles and snowmobiles, the other places where supplies were stored were empty.
"Mr.
Lin, we can't be sure how long it will take to go to the Arctic seas this time, and we don't know what kind of supplies and equipment you need, so we didn't make a resupply.
Of course, if you can determine what supplies and extra equipment you need, we can get the supplies you need for the trip in two days.
From fresh water to food, medicine and extra gear you need, we can resupply them in less than two days. ” Hearing Andre's explanation, Yang Jing understood the meaning.
Captain Andre has made it very clear that one is that we don't know what supplies you need and what kind of extra equipment you carry, so we can't resupply.
The second is that you are chartering a ship, and according to the lease agreement, you have to pay for the supplies and oil.
If you don't give money, how can we supply 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're going to the polar seas and the land of the Arctic region, and some ordinary supplies Captain Andrei knows best.
As for special supplies, you can discuss them with Chris. ” Lin Dan nodded in understanding.
Ordinary supplies are very simple, nothing more than fresh water, oil, food, medicine and some other things, and the materials that can meet the daily use and use in scientific expeditions are ordinary materials.
As for special supplies, not to mention, guns and ammunition, some high-end military supplies, these are all special supplies.
Captain Andre doesn't need these special supplies, but Chris, they can.
Their trip to the Arctic region this time is not just for fun, they are going to treasure hunting, and the ghost knows what emergencies will encounter, so the necessary guns and ammunition must be prepared.
But Yang Jing doesn't have to worry about these things, Chris and they are experts, what they need, Yang Jing only needs to pay for it.
After walking around the boat, both Yang Jing and Gege were very satisfied.
Although this ship is not as luxurious as the superyachts that the rich have spent a lot of money to build, it is also quite good, much more comfortable than ordinary ocean-going freighters, if not comparable to the top cruise ships, but definitely not much worse.
After getting off the boat, Yang Jing asked Andre: "How many people can the Blue Whale hold?"
” For this, Captain Andrei understood very well, "Under normal circumstances, the Blue Whale needs twenty-four crew members, but this is a very modern ocean-going polar research ship, so only twenty-four crew members are enough."
In addition, in addition to the crew, the ship can carry 128 scientific expedition personnel. ” Yang Jing nodded.
After all, this is a scientific research ship, and the equipment that needs to be maintained on board far exceeds that of an ocean-going freighter that only needs a dozen crew members, but only twenty-four crew members are needed, which is enough to prove the advanced nature of this ship.
Coupled with the fact that it can carry 128 scientific research personnel, the ship is actually quite comfortable.
Of course, if Yang Jing and the others were going to the Arctic waters, they would definitely not go to so many people.
In addition to Yang Jing and Lin Dan, there were only the four of Chris and Carl Morris's eight-member mercenary team, a total of fifteen people.
That's right, this time I went to the Arctic region to find treasure, Yang Jing thought about it and asked Chris to contact Carl Morris's mercenary team again, after all, this time I went out to the North Pole, and it was very necessary to ensure a certain amount of force.

Karl Morris's mercenary team is the same mercenary team hired by Yang Jing when he went to Algeria last time, and in the Oham oil field, Morris's mercenary team also joined forces with the oil field escort team to kill all the Libyans who sneaked up.
In the firefight that night, Morris's mercenary team won Yang Jing's trust in both skill and vigilance.
So when he went out this time, the first thing Yang Jing thought of was the eight of them.
For Yang Jing, the big financier, Carl Morris did not hesitate at all, and immediately led the team to fly to the United States by plane.
Morris and Chris used to be comrades-in-arms and had a very close relationship, and after seeing Chris, the four of them have now turned into bodyguards, and they are living quite comfortably.
As mercenaries who dance on the tip of a knife and wear their heads to their belts all day long, they certainly want to have a stable and relatively safe life.
Last time in Algeria, Karl 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, so he is definitely the favorite type of boss of their group of mercenaries.
So last time in the Oham's oil field, Carl Morris and his mercenary squad showed their hand and proved the ability of their mercenary squad.
Sure enough, Yang Jing remembered them, and this expedition to the North Pole summoned Morris and them again as soon as possible.
For Yang Jing's summons, Morris is naturally very happy to go.
In their minds, it would be best if they could become the bodyguards of this rich young man like Chris.
Yang Jing said to Lin Dan beside him: "This supply, try to replenish as many good things as possible, don't be afraid to spend money, we won't be guilty when we go out."
Do you understand?
” Lin Dan smiled: "Don't worry, Brother Yang, I will arrange it."
As long as you dare to pay, I will dare to rectify it according to the highest standards for you. ” Yang Jing smiled and waved his hand and said, "Well, money is not a problem, you can just arrange it." ” Lin Dan went to discuss the issue of special supplies with Chris, and Yang Jing discussed the general route of this voyage with Captain Andre.
This aspect is also very important, involving the entire voyage arrangement, so it is necessary to communicate with Captain Andre in advance.
According to Yang Jing's vision, this voyage started 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, crossing Baffin Bay and Smith Strait, and finally arrived at the northern tip of Ellesmere Island.
This route is actually the route drawn on the pirate chart.
At that time, Mr.
"Sea Serpent" Boardman drew this nautical chart to represent a treasure or scribble, it is impossible to determine now, only to walk along this route and then judge according to the actual situation.
It's best to have treasures, and if you don't, you should play a lap.
After reaching the northern tip of Ellesmere Island, they crossed the Arctic Ocean and finally reached the end of the treasure map of the Tsar's Treasure drawn by Antonov Kuvajevich.
These are all things that need to be communicated with Captain Andre, which is very important.
Because it is uncertain whether some places can be navigated, everything depends on Andrei's experience to make a judgment.
