Yang Jing brought a large-scale map, which was a large-scale map of Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia, with many places clearly marked on it that could not be seen on ordinary maps.
In the upper left corner of the map, in the upper right corner of the Yenisei Bay, the estuary of the Yenisei River, the name of a city called "Dixon" is prominently listed.
Yang Jing pointed to Dixon's location and asked Gege, "Are you talking about this?"
” "Well, here it is.
Although this place is a small city, it has been inhabited by indigenous people for a long time.
In 1915, Russia set up a weather station here, and later Russians moved here one after another.
Today, it has developed into a small port city with a population of more than 2,500 people. ” Yang Jing asked with some puzzlement: "What is the connection between this city and Antonov's treasure transport ship?"
” "Of course it matters, if you think about it from your shoes, if you are Antonov, you are responsible for the heavy tasks entrusted by General Kolchak, and you are also pulling two carts of priceless treasures, and it is during the period when the Red Army swept the whole of Russia, then will you be careful and careful?
Do you want to avoid everyone as much as possible?
” Yang Jing touched his chin and nodded, "Well, if I were Antonov, I would definitely do this." ” "Isn't that the end of it!
Antonov was responsible for his heavy responsibilities back then, and the two cars behind him were pulling priceless treasures, and it could even be said that General Kolchak was the capital of his comeback, so of course Antonov had to be careful.
So what is certain is that in the process of his journey north, in addition to not being able to contact some residents in the north during the winter, he will even kill all the residents who have been in contact with them when they survive the winter and then continue to set off, so as to ensure the confidentiality of their itinerary.
But as long as Antonov and the others sailed north along the Yenisei River, they had to avoid Dixon, because that place was stuck right in the exit of the Yenisei River. ” After a pause, Gege continued: "Moreover, if Antonov were to go north along the Yenisei River, he would have used river boats plundered from the settlements of the Tunguska generation, which could not go too far from the coastline, so that if they wanted to avoid Dixon, they would not have been able to hide their things on islands too far from the coastline. ” "I see what you mean."
Yang Jing said, marked the map with a ruler, and said after a little calculation: "Then it is unlikely that Antonov will hide the treasure in the area of the Nordensjöld Islands, which is more than 500 kilometers away from the exit of the Yenisei Bay, and it is impossible for an inland river ship to have such a long voyage in the ocean."
Well, the most likely place to hide the treasure is not on the island of Rastorguev, but on the Plavnikovye Islands, not far to the east of the Yenisei Bay, which is more than 200 kilometers away, and if Antonov is careful, he will still be able to sail so far along the coastline.
However, I don't think I can ignore it here. ” Saying that, Yang Jing patted his head and said distressedly: "Such a big place, so many islands, if you want to find them all, it will really cost you your life." ” Gege smiled: "It's okay, I'll accompany you to find it." ” But this treasure hunt is destined to be a process of many tribulations, when Yang Jing took Gege and five or six bodyguards to board the Antarctic Tern and prepare to start searching for the nearby islands, a thick fog suddenly rose on the sea This makes Yang Jing very depressed, and there is no way to be depressed, in the coastal areas of Siberia in summer, this kind of thick fog often rises, and sometimes this kind of fog can last for several days as soon as it appears.
This sudden fog delayed Yang Jing and them for four days, and it was not until the fifth day that the fog cleared and visibility was improved again.
Now that you are here, you can't let go of the surrounding islands, after all, on the treasure map drawn by Antonov, the island of Rastorguev is the first target.
But it is clear that Gege's judgment is very correct, and there is no red light coming out of this island with an area of more than 100 square kilometers, that is, the black dot marked by Antonov on the treasure map is a trick.
In fact, you don't need to search this island to judge that this island is not a place to hide treasure, this island is too gentle, there are no hills more than fifty meters, how can it be possible to hide treasure?
Antonov wouldn't be stupid enough to dig a hole in the permafrost, would he?
That's a stupid comparison of sincerity.
Digging a hole in this permafrost, even now, is not an easy task to dig mechanically, let alone a hundred years ago.
If you dig a hole here with a shovel, it will be much easier than walking here from Krasnoyarsk.
Since Rastorguev Island was not a treasure hiding site, Yang Jing immediately expanded the search area, and the larger Nansen Island, Taimel Island, and the Russian Island further north were all searched, but unfortunately, Antonov's treasure convoy obviously did not reach this area.
Even if Yang Jing had the Heavenly Eye skill, it took more than three days to search for these dozens of islands, and now there was nothing, so everyone had to move again.
Originally, the Blue Whale had planned to turn around and sail west to the Plavnikovye Islands to continue its search, but the helicopter that had survived had a problem again.
Chris: They don't look at the helicopter and drive it very slippery, but they don't understand how to maintain it.
The ship's maintenance personnel were also helpless about this kind of failure, and in desperation, the Blue Whale could only prepare to enter the Dixon docking.
Dixon's dock is not large, but it is a deep-water port, and it is no problem for the Blue Whale to dock at it.
It's just that the body of the Blue Whale is even longer than this dock, and the dock also has to leave room for supply ships to transport supplies, so the Blue Whale can only dock horizontally on the dock.
Dixon was small, but the facilities were good, and Captain André was familiar with the place, and it didn't take long to find a helicopter technician.
However, there will be another day of delay in repairing the helicopter.
Delay, delay, take advantage of this time, Chris and the others drove down the modified heavy armored off-road vehicle, ready to drive the car to search around.
This heavy armored transporter was purchased in the United States and was modified from a military Humvee Jeep.
The tires have been widened and enlarged, as has the chassis and cabin, so that they can be adapted for off-road travel in the polar wilderness.
The Siberian wilderness in summer is difficult to walk, especially in Siberia, which is within the Arctic Circle.
If you don't see it with your own eyes, it's really hard to imagine how bad the situation is here.
In contrast, the Paris-Dakar Rally is like driving on a highway from the Sahara Desert.
Siberia in summer is a muddy swamp, not to mention the roads, even finding a solid piece of land is a luxury.
Especially in this area of the Taimyr Peninsula, where the rivers are dense, and the erosion of the glaciers has caused potholes on the ground, and the winter is better, but it is all frozen into a lump, let alone running a car, even a tank.
But in the summer, when the temperature rises and the snow melts, the area is immediately filled with large and small puddles and lakes.
Thankfully, there is still a permafrost beneath the melting snow and ice, and there are no large swamps here, and with this modified high-horsepower heavy off-road vehicle, it is possible to travel on the wilderness at an average speed of 20 kilometers per hour.
And the area is so flat that it's more pleasant, and if it weren't for the damn puddles, it's even more comfortable than the savannah.
After a few days of heavy fog, the weather in this area is intoxicating, and although the temperature is a little low, it is definitely the most comfortable.

Every time the convoy drove some distance forward, Yang Jing would stand on the roof of the car and observe it with a telescope.
In this kind of terrain, as long as there is a treasure buried under the ground, the red light can be seen dozens of kilometers away.
Unfortunately, this area is also clearly not a treasure hiding area.
In fact, if you think about it, you can figure out that the situation in this area is not suitable for hiding treasure at all, except for puddles and rivers and lakes, there is still a hard permafrost like stones underneath, and with the strength of Antonov and their time, it is absolutely impossible to hide treasures in this kind of area.
After a day of wandering around Dixon, I didn't notice any fart, but it took a lot of fuel.
The fuel consumption of this modified heavy-duty off-road vehicle is as high as nearly 50 liters per 100 kilometers, and the fuel tank capable of holding 200 liters of diesel can support this kind of car for up to 400 kilometers.
Four cars ran for a day, and eight hundred liters of diesel evaporated Fortunately, the Antarctic Tern was repaired the next day, and Yang Jing paid more than $40,000 for repairing this big guy.
With the Antarctic Tern, the search immediately went much more smoothly.
But unfortunately, except for two days of rain in the middle, Yang Jing and his team searched all the islands in the Plavnikovye archipelago in the following week, and found no hidden treasure place.
The continuous search was unsuccessful, which not only exhausted Yang Jing and Gege, but also greatly damaged everyone's morale.
On this day, the fog suddenly fell again, and the helicopter could not take off to continue the search, so everyone got a rare opportunity to rest, so they got together to discuss the next search plan.
Although I searched for two weeks and found nothing, it has come to this point, and it would be a shame to give up.
Therefore, the search must continue to be carried out. ps: Bow and thank "Earthquake World" for 1000 tips.
