At this time, the ship's messenger said loudly, "Captain, we have contacted arlett. They welcome us very much."

Greg smiled and nodded to captain Andrey, his face full of expectation. As for Yang Jing, he just shrugged his shoulders. His attention was not in this area at the moment, because when he searched for "arlet" on his mobile phone, he suddenly found that the location of the northernmost settlement of mankind coincided with the location of the black six pointed star in the nautical chart painted by "sea snake" Bodman.

"Chandler, left rudder 108, speed five knots. We'll go along the coastline on the left and anchor when we reach the designated place."

Chandler is the pilot of the ship, and the captain often doesn't control the ship himself.

Yang Jing whispered to Ge Ge, "you play here first. I'll go back to my room. There's something I need to confirm."

Ge Ge is in a good mood and nods. Yang Jing turns and walks out of the cockpit and returns to her room.

Back in the room, Yang Jing took out the pirate chart from the space and compared it with a map of Canada. It's really such a thing.

This nautical chart, which Mr. Bodman drew more than 300 years ago, marks the position of the black six pointed star. Isn't it at the northeast end of Ellesmere Island?

Of course, Bodman's nautical chart is very simple, but again simple, some of the most basic things of his nautical chart are relatively accurate, such as the North American continent, such as Greenland, and the Smith gap between Greenland and Ellesmere Island.

The area covered by the black hexagram on the nautical chart is relatively large. Compared with the modern accurate map, the area covered by the hexagram includes not only the Sheraton corner at the northeast end of Ellesmere Island, but also more than half of kutinier Park National Park.

A small six pointed star is not big, but the area covered on this chart is big. According to Yang Jing's estimation, the six pointed star painted by Mr. Bodman must cover at least thousands of square kilometers!

cheat your papa! This guy Bodman really fucked his father!

You said you should leave such an ambiguous nautical chart. You still have to draw such a black hexagram for Mao? Why don't you mark a point? What's with his sister's six pointed star?

You can draw a little bit smaller. Is it so big that people won't see it or something?

Yang Jing didn't think about this before, but now it's coming. He realized that the nautical chart left by Bodman is really some pit father!

Even with heavenly eye skills, it is not easy to search such a large area.

The door was knocked, and Yang Jing said, "please come in, we didn't lock."

The gate was pushed open and Chris Barton and John Bruno came in together.

"Oh, I'll tell you. 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 you."

"It's all right. There's no need to be so nervous on board. We're in the Arctic Ocean now. There's no ship within hundreds of nautical miles around. What are you worried about? By the way, you two are here. I think we have a problem. I need you to help me."

Chris and John walked over and saw the sheepskin chart with a map of Canada.

"What's the matter, boss? What's so difficult for you?"

Yang Jing shook her head reluctantly, pointed to the black hexagram and said, "the area covered by the hexagram is too large. If it is converted into the actual area in reality, it must be thousands of square kilometers. How can we find the real place represented by the hexagram?"

Yang Jing pointed out the window, "although it's July now, the temperature here is still too low, and there will be a snowstorm from time to time. It's hard for us to look for such a large area."

Chris also frowned and stared at the two maps. After a long time, he shook his head and said, "boss, this is really a problem. If we use crawler snowmobiles, it will take at least 20 days to search such an area. And now in this weather, I'm afraid we can't use snowmobiles on land."

The land temperature rises much faster than the ocean, so although there is nearly half a meter of ice in the Arctic Ocean, the tundra begins to turn green in some low-altitude areas on Ellesmere Island. In most parts of the coast, the snow has melted. In this case, it is naturally impossible to use the tracked snowmobile.

Bruno hugged his arm and said, "Chris, did you forget we have a big guy? That thing can fly."

Chris said, "I haven't forgotten, but it can only fly in the sky and can't search the ground carefully. It will be very fast to do it, but it can't find the exact location represented by the hexagram."

Yang Jing's eyes lit up when she heard Bruno's words and patted her forehead. How could she forget the helicopter?

For others, it is almost impossible to search a hidden place on the ground with a helicopter, but for Yang Jing, it is relatively easy to use a helicopter to search the exact location that may be the hiding place of pirate treasure at high altitude with the wide-ranging search skill of "heavenly eye".

After a little consideration, Yang Jing shouted to stop the argument between Chris and John, "you two don't have to say. It's settled. Let's search by helicopter. First determine a general location, and then conduct a ground search."

Hearing what Yang Jin said, John raised his chin at Chris, and Chris made a surrender with both hands, "well, John, you won this time."

After determining the search method, Yang Jing's mood became very good. At this time, he realized how reliable it is to rent a fully equipped polar research ship. If you hire ordinary ocean going freighters, then these ocean going freighters are usually not equipped with helicopters. In this case, you are really blind.

Not only here, but also the search for the treasures of the last czar behind us is 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 place, it is really difficult and difficult to use ordinary methods, and even returning empty handed is not a rare thing.

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

Yang Jing, in a good mood, took a group of people to the cockpit and watched the operation of the blue whale anchoring and berthing.

The full load displacement of the blue whale is up to 18500 tons and the draft is 8.9 meters. Now, although the blue whale is not fully loaded, its draft is close to 8 meters, so the big ship can only dock at the sea level a few kilometers away from the coastline.

Here, the phenomenon of sea water icing has disappeared. The closer the sea water is to the land, the faster the ice melts.

However, due to the inability to land, some vehicles such as SUVs cannot be transported to land. They can only send personnel to the shore by assault boats and helicopters.

In addition to the pilot and three crew members, the first assault boat was filled with all kinds of food materials. Since they are going to arlet as a guest, they can't go empty handed.

The second assault boat was full of people. Except for those left behind on the blue whale, others could be done with a assault boat and a helicopter.

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

A few kilometers of sea surface arrived in a few minutes at the speed of the assault boat. After Carl Morris and their second assault boat landed, Yang Jing, Ge Ge and four bodyguards flew directly to the arlet camp by helicopter. It is worth mentioning that the helicopter pilot is Chris. He didn't trust to hand over the helicopter to others.

As the northernmost settlement of human beings on the planet, arlet covers a small area of only about 100 meters, with less than 20 large and small buildings. In the north of the camp, about 150 meters away from the camp, is the oil storage area of the camp, where eight large oil tanks stand. Further north, about 1.5 kilometers away, is the airstrip in arlet.

The airport was opened up from the tundra, with a runway length of 1500 meters, which is enough for taking off and landing such a big head as the C-130 transport plane.

There is no port in arlet. If supplies or personnel are transported here at ordinary times, there are only primitive dogs pulling sleds except aircraft. However, dog sledge is now mostly used by people who have come to take risks, and aircraft is still the main means of supply and transportation for arlett.

It's just that arlet is too far north. The climate here, especially in the cold season, is very bad, and it's not so easy to replenish by plane. It is said that since the establishment of the base, two planes have crashed because of transporting materials for the camp, killing a total of 14 people.

Therefore, although arlet airport is the northernmost airport on the earth, the utilization rate of this airport is very low. Unless something is necessary, the airport will hardly be opened at ordinary times.

In this case, the ten crew members of the blue whale, including captain Andre milakinov, plus Yang Jing and their party of 15, came to the northernmost human settlement in the world!
