After thinking about it for a while, Yang Jing stopped Chris and John from arguing. "You two don't need to say anything. It's settled. We will use a helicopter to search. First determine the general location, and then conduct a ground search."

Hearing Yang Jin say this, John raised his chin towards Chris, and Chris put his hands in surrender, "Okay John, you win this time."

After deciding on the search method, Yang Jing was in a good mood. Only then did he realize how reliable it was to rent a fully equipped polar research vessel. If he rented a normal ocean-going freighter, which usually would not be equipped with helicopters, he would be at a loss in this situation.

Not only here, the search for the treasure of the last tsar also depends on this helicopter. The treasure map of the last tsar drawn by Kuvayevich Antonov only marked a general location. If you want to find the exact treasure hiding place, it is really difficult to use ordinary methods, and it is not uncommon to return empty-handed.

Now with this helicopter, finding the exact location is almost a sure thing.

In a good mood, Yang Jing brought a group of people to the cockpit and watched the entire operation of the Blue Whale dropping anchor.

The Blue Whale's full load displacement is as high as 18,500 tons, and its draft is 8.9 meters. Although the Blue Whale is not fully loaded now, its draft is close to 8 meters, so this large ship can only be docked at the sea level a few kilometers away from the coastline.

Here, the sea water has disappeared, and the closer the sea water is to the land, the faster the ice melts.

However, because they were unable to dock, some vehicles such as off-road vehicles could not be transported to land, so they could only use speedboats and helicopters to send people ashore.

In addition to the driver and three crew members, the first speedboat was filled with all kinds of food. Since they were going to visit Alert, they couldn't go empty-handed.

The second speedboat was full of people. Except for the personnel left on the Blue Whale, all the others could be handled by one speedboat and a helicopter.

In fact, from here you can use a telescope to see the Canadian flag flying high over Alert, and on the shore, more than a dozen people are standing there waiting for the arrival of the speedboat.

At the speed of the speedboat, it only took a few minutes to reach the sea surface of several kilometers. After the second speedboat that Carl Morris and his companions took also landed, Yang Jing, Gege and four bodyguards took a helicopter and flew directly to the Alert camp. It is worth mentioning that the helicopter pilot was Chris. He was not confident in handing the helicopter to others.

As the northernmost settlement of mankind on this planet, Alert does not cover a large area, only about 100 meters in radius, with less than 20 buildings of various sizes. About 150 meters north of the camp is the camp's oil storage area, where eight large oil tanks stand. About 1.5 kilometers further north is Alert's airstrip.

This airport was opened up from the tundra. The runway is 1,500 meters long, which is enough for large aircraft such as the C-130 transport aircraft to take off and land.

There is no port in Alert. In addition to airplanes, the only way to transport supplies or personnel here is by dog ​​sled. However, dog sleds are now mostly used by adventurers. Aircraft is still the main means of supply transportation in Alert.

However, Alert is located too far north, and the climate here, especially in the winter, is very harsh, and it is not easy to resupply by plane. It is said that since the establishment of this base, two planes have crashed while transporting supplies to the camp, killing a total of 14 people.

Therefore, although Alert Airport is the northernmost airport on Earth, the utilization rate of this airport is very low. Unless it is necessary, this airport is rarely used.

Under such circumstances, the ten crew members on the Blue Whale, including Captain Andrei Miladinov, plus Yang Jing and his group of fifteen people, arrived at the northernmost human settlement in the world!
