On July 2, the fourth day after Yang Jing and Gege arrived in Boston, they finally boarded the Ingram Blue Whale again and began the long-planned treasure hunt.
After three days of replenishment, a large amount of supplies had accumulated in the cargo hold of the Blue Whale. They had replenished everything that Captain Andre and Lin Dan could think of. As for the special supplies that Chris and the others needed, they naturally had to deal with them themselves.
In the United States, as long as you have money, you can buy almost anything. And Yang Jing is a man who has plenty of money.
Yang Jing knew very well that this trip would be dangerous, especially with Gege by his side, so he had to be careful. If Gege wasn't there, Yang Jing would dare to go anywhere on Earth. After all, he had the "restricted time travel" as a foundation, and there was no danger he couldn't avoid.
But with his fiancée by his side, Yang Jing had to pay extra attention to the safety of this voyage. For this reason, he also reassembled Carl Morris's mercenary team. As for weapons and ammunition, he would naturally buy whatever was easy to buy.
As for supplies, the principle of "buy what's good" is still followed. Since you are going out to sea, you can't treat yourself badly. Yang Jing wants his fiancée to have a wonderful trip around the Arctic Ocean.
At 9:30 in the morning, the huge Blue Whale slowly left the dock, entered Tanghe Bay, and then passed through the strait connecting the bay and the Atlantic Ocean and entered the Atlantic Ocean.
As soon as the Blue Whale entered the vast Atlantic Ocean, it immediately increased its speed.
These civilian polar research vessels are not very fast. For example, the Blue Whale has a maximum speed of only 19 knots, and its normal cruising speed is generally maintained at around 14.5 knots.
The total distance from Boston to the northern tip of Ellesmere Island is about 5,600 kilometers, or about 3,023 nautical miles. The Blue Whale travels day and night at a cruising speed of 14.5 knots, and it takes about nine days to travel.
Although the Blue Whale is not very fast, it has a very high endurance. After the oil tanks that can store up to 1,700 tons of oil are fully filled, the Blue Whale can sail continuously for 12,500 nautical miles at a speed of 14.5 knots, which is a full 23,000 kilometers.
After leaving Boston, the Blue Whale plunged into the Atlantic Ocean. However, the Blue Whale did not enter the deep sea area, but continued to move northward along the edge of the continental shelf.
The North Atlantic has entered the hurricane season in early July, but there are no hurricane warnings during this period, so the North Atlantic is very calm. The Blue Whale is like an elegant blue whale, sailing steadily in the vast Atlantic Ocean.
After walking for less than half a day, Gege became indifferent to the scenery outside, and the excitement she had just felt when she left the port completely disappeared.
Gege had taken a luxury cruise to the Caribbean and Hawaii before, but this was her first time to go out to sea on a polar research ship, so she was of course excited at first. Not to mention her, even Chris and the others were a little excited.
Even though Chris and his crew had been on high-end warships like aircraft carriers and Kidd-class destroyers, this was their first time on a research vessel.
The cabin conditions of the Blue Whale are very good. After all, it is an ocean-going polar research vessel. Most of the people who can take this kind of ship are intellectuals or experts. During the long voyage, these experts need to be taken care of. Therefore, the cabin of the Blue Whale naturally cannot be shabby.
Yang Jing and Gege's cabin is located on the fourth floor of the front deck, and above this cabin is the cockpit.
The cabin is very large and is a suite with a separate bathroom, which is no worse than a business suite in a star hotel.
The most important thing is that this room is a genuine 180-degree sea view room, with unparalleled sea views from the front and sides. It is the best cabin on the ship.
After resting in the room for a while and changing clothes, Yang Jing and Gege came to the restaurant together.
The restaurant on the Blue Whale is quite large. After all, the ship can hold more than 150 people when fully occupied. And because it is a scientific research ship, the restaurant is decorated very exquisitely.
There are four chefs in the restaurant's kitchen. Usually, these four chefs are on duty separately, but tonight all four chefs were out, and even Chris and his team joined in the preparation of dinner.
Because it was the first time for Yang Jing and his friends to have dinner on the boat, the dinner tonight was very sumptuous. In particular, Yang Jing prepared a lot of top-quality ingredients, which made the chefs very impressed.
Although the research ship usually pays great attention to food, most of them are very common food. But Yang Jing is different. He doesn't care about money, so when Lin Dan prepares food supplies, he buys the best ones.
For example, the beef used tonight is the top-quality Australian Wagyu beef purchased by Lin Dan.
Blackmore Ranch in Victoria, Australia, is the most famous Wagyu cattle breeding base in Australia. The Australian Wagyu beef produced by this ranch, the top grade MS12 Wagyu beef, can be sold at a sky-high price of US$200 per pound. In other words, this MS12 grade top grade Australian Wagyu beef costs more than 1,300 yuan per pound in China.
In fact, the taste of Australian Wagyu is not worse than that of Japanese Wagyu, but Japanese Wagyu is more famous. For example, Japan's top-grade A5 Wagyu beef can be sold for more than $100 per 200 grams in Europe and the United States.
MS12 Australian Wagyu beef is not as famous as Japanese Wagyu beef, but in other aspects it is not much different from Japanese Wagyu beef. But how much Japanese Wagyu beef is produced in a year? And how much Australian Wagyu beef is produced in a year? Therefore, the sales volume of Australian Wagyu beef is far greater than that of Japanese Wagyu beef.
