After getting off the boat, Yang Jing asked Andre: "How many people can the Blue Whale accommodate?"

Captain Andre understood this very well. "Under normal circumstances, the Blue Whale only needs 24 crew members. This is a very modern ocean-going polar research vessel, so only 24 crew members are enough. In addition, in addition to the crew, this ship can also carry 128 scientific researchers."

Yang Jing nodded. This was a scientific research vessel after all, and the equipment that needed to be maintained on board was far more than that of an ocean-going freighter that only required a dozen crew members. However, the fact that it only required twenty-four crew members was enough to prove the advancement of this ship.

Plus, it can carry 128 scientific researchers, so the ship is actually quite comfortable.

Of course, if Yang Jing and his team were going to the Arctic Ocean, there would definitely not be so many people. In addition to Yang Jing and his wife and Lin Dan, there were only four of Chris and Carl Morris's eight-man mercenary team, a total of fifteen people.

That's right, this time they were going to the Arctic region to search for treasure. After thinking about it, Yang Jing decided to let Chris and the others contact Carl Morris' mercenary team again. After all, this time they were going to the Arctic, so it was very necessary to ensure a certain amount of force.

Carl Morris's mercenary team was the same one that Yang Jing hired when he went to Algeria last time. At the O'Ham Oil Field, Morris's mercenary team teamed up with the oil field guards to kill all the Libyans who launched a sneak attack.

In the firefight that night, Morris's mercenary team won Yang Jing's trust in terms of both skill and vigilance. So when he went out this time, the first people Yang Jing thought of were the eight of them.

Carl Morris did not hesitate at all when Yang Jing, the big money sponsor, called him again. He immediately led the team to fly to the United States.

Morris and Chris used to be comrades-in-arms and had a very close relationship. After seeing that Chris and the other four had transformed themselves into bodyguards and were living quite comfortably, to be honest, Carl Morris was very envious.

As mercenaries who dance on the edge of a knife and put their heads on their belts all day long, they certainly yearn for a stable and relatively safe life.

Last time in Algeria, Carl Morris had a very good impression of Yang Jing. Although this boss is young, he is rich and never stingy with his subordinates. He is definitely the type of boss that these mercenaries like most.

So last time at the O'Hama Oil Field, Carl Morris and his mercenary team showed off their skills and proved the capabilities of their mercenary team.

Sure enough, Yang Jing remembered them, and when he went on an Arctic expedition this time, he summoned Morris and the others again as soon as possible.

Morris and his team were naturally very happy to go to Yang Jing's call. In their minds, it would be the best if they could become the bodyguards of this young rich man like Chris and his team.

Yang Jing said to Lin Dan beside him: "This time, try to get more good supplies. Don't be afraid to spend money. We are not going out to suffer. Do you understand?"

Lin Dan smiled and said, "Don't worry, Brother Yang, I will make arrangements. As long as you dare to pay, I will dare to give you the highest standard of treatment."

Yang Jing smiled and waved his hand and said, "Well, money is not a problem, just go ahead and arrange it."

Lin Dan went to discuss the special supply issue with Chris and the others, while Yang Jing discussed the general route of this voyage with Captain Andre. This aspect of the issue was also very important, involving the arrangement of the entire voyage, so it was necessary to communicate with Captain Andre in advance.

According to Yang Jing's idea, this voyage would start from Boston, then go north along the North American continent, bypass Newfoundland Island, enter the Labrador Sea, then continue north along the Davis Strait, cross Baffin Bay and Smith Strait, and finally arrive at the northern tip of Ellesmere Island.

This route is actually the route drawn on the pirate's nautical chart. It is impossible to determine whether Mr. "Sea Snake" Bodman drew this nautical chart to represent a treasure or just a random sketch. We can only walk along this route and then judge it based on the actual situation.

It would be great if there is treasure, but if not, just treat it as a trip. After reaching the northern tip of Ellesmere Island, cross the entire Arctic Ocean and finally reach the end of the treasure map of the Tsar's treasure drawn by Kuvaevich Antonov.

All these need to be communicated with Captain Andre, which is very important. Because it is still uncertain whether some places are navigable, everything depends on Andre's experience to make judgments.
