Supreme Sacred Ring, Carefree Tycoon!
In the 80s, a good-quality old Hainan Huanghuali round-backed armchair from the Qing Dynasty could be yours for just twenty yuan. Now, two million yuan o...
Just like that, Yang Jing and Gege boarded a flight from Shanghai to San Francisco on the third day after their engagement.
This flight is a direct flight from Shanghai International Airport to Boston Logan International Airport in the United States. I boarded the plane at around nine o'clock in the evening, had a long sleep in the first-class cabin of the plane, and arrived in Boston around six in the morning. I didn't even have to adjust to the jet lag after getting off the plane.
Of course, after this flight, there will be one more day in the lives of two people...
The reason why he did not stop in San Francisco but flew directly to Boston was because the home port of the ship rented by Lin Dan was in Boston.
If you want to go treasure hunting in the Arctic, you must find a powerful enough ship. Before Yang Jing returned from the United States last time, he did not let Lin Dan and Chris return with him. The purpose was to let them find a reliable enough ship in the United States.
Lin Dan did not disappoint Yang Jing. During the more than 20 days since Yang Jing returned to China, he actually found a very powerful ship.
"Brother Yang, isn't this ship exciting?" Lin Dan said, pointing at the large ship in front of him that was blue and black in color except for the white tower bridge, and was over 130 meters long.
The ship's name, Ingram's Blue Whale, was spray-painted on its hull in black paint.
"Good, good, this ship is a good choice." Even Yang Jing couldn't help but be attracted by the big guy in front of him with a full load displacement of more than 18,000 tons.
At this time, Yang Jing and his team were not in Boston Harbor, but at the Tanghewan Pier in Quincy City, about fifteen kilometers south of Boston.
Since Lin Dan received the task from Yang Jing, he has been looking for a suitable ship all over the world.
A ship that is qualified to go treasure hunting in the Arctic must first have the ability to break ice, secondly, have sufficient tonnage to ensure supplies, and also must have sufficient advanced equipment.
Going to the Arctic is no joke. You can't just go there if you want. You have to be fully prepared to go there. You can't be too fully prepared. Because in such an area, if you are careless, it can be fatal - even in the warm season.
In summary, if you want to find a suitable ship, you can't go wrong with a polar research ship. This kind of ship is specially designed for base research, and it has sufficient icebreaking capabilities and logistical support. So after accepting this mission, Lin Dan began to look for a polar research ship all over North America.
However, it is not easy to find ships that can go to the Arctic region at this time. Although it is the cold season in Antarctica now, it is the best season for Arctic scientific research, so many qualified scientific research ships have left the port.
However, with a lot of money, he finally found a ship that met the requirements.
The Ingram Blue Whale is a polar research vessel affiliated to a private polar research organization in the United States. The name of this private polar research organization is "Ingram", so the name of the ship is Ingram Blue Whale.
Not only is its name Blue Whale, but even the color of this ship resembles a giant blue whale.
"This ship was built by a German shipyard and launched in 2008, just ten years ago. The Blue Whale is 141.8 meters long, 26.2 meters wide, and has a full load displacement of 18,500 tons," Lin Dan explained.
After hearing this, the princess asked, "Yang Jing, do we really need such a big ship? Is this ship too big?"
Yang Jing shook his head and looked at Lin Dan again. Lin Dan quickly explained, "Sister-in-law, this ship is not big. We are going to the Arctic Ocean, so we must use a large-tonnage icebreaker research vessel. Although it is the warm season in the Arctic now, it is never too careful when sailing in the Arctic Ocean."
After a pause, Lin Dan continued, "Just like this Blue Whale, it just came back from Antarctica in March and has just been renovated. This ship has sufficient supply and endurance capabilities, and it also carries a helicopter that can carry six people, which ensures that the ship has sufficient survivability and risk avoidance capabilities. In case, I mean in case we encounter any danger in the Arctic Ocean, we can survive for a long time with the supplies we have, and this modified helicopter has a range of up to 1,200 kilometers after adding auxiliary fuel tanks, which is enough for us to reach the coastline."
Hearing this, Gege nodded in satisfaction, "Linzi, how much does it cost to rent this boat? It should be very expensive, right?"
Lin Dan nodded and said, "Sister-in-law, the rental fee for renting a polar research vessel is $240,000 a week. They don't cover other expenses. You have to pay for supplies and materials yourself."
"So expensive!" After hearing the price, Gege couldn't help but stick out her tongue.
Yang Jing smiled and said, "This price is already very fair. This is a polar research vessel, and it's very expensive. Do you know the Russian oil tycoon Abramovich?"
Gege nodded.
"Do you know how much the Eclipse, Abu's ship, is rented out?"
Gege shook her head.
"1.25 million pounds a week! This was the price seven years ago!"
