The "Antarctic Tern" helicopter on board the Blue Whale is an AW-109 twin-engine light helicopter produced by the Italian company AgustaWestland.
The Agusta AW109 is the most famous light helicopter and also has the best performance. When the Blue Whale was launched, Ingram chose this light helicopter as the helicopter on board.
This helicopter can carry a total of eight people including the pilot. Chris and George Bruce can both fly helicopters, and his skills are even better than the pilot of the Blue Whale. Therefore, since they arrived, this helicopter has been completely under the control of the two of them.
For this, Yang Jing also paid an extra $100,000. Of course, if the Antarctic Tern had any accident or caused any damage, the loss would naturally be borne by Yang Jing.
Chris was the main pilot, George was the co-pilot, and Yang Jing and five other fully armed guys followed him in the back.
Gege was not interested in the aimless search for the suspected treasure location. She had just established herself in Alert and made a few female friends, and was having a great time.
In her words, please let me know once you find the exact location. Mr. Buddha doesn't have time to accompany you now...
So in the past two days, Yang Jing and his team began to search hundreds of kilometers in radius on the Antarctic Tern.
Normally speaking, it is almost impossible to search for hidden targets on the ground from a helicopter. However, Yang Jing insisted on doing so, and the bodyguards had no choice but to obey Yang Jing's orders.
On the first day, Yang Jing had already determined that there was no place containing treasures near Alert. In such a place, if there really was a place containing a lot of treasures, it would definitely be visible.
Obviously, the black hexagram drawn by Boardman was not near Alert.
The next day, the weather was a bit bad. There was a thin fog, which resulted in poor visibility. Yang Jing and his team only went out for two hours after the fog thinned in the afternoon, but they still didn't get anything.
On the third day, the weather cleared up and from Alert we could see Mount Balbo, 2,616 meters above sea level, 200 kilometers away. It is the highest peak on Ellesmere Island and the entire Arctic Archipelago. Next to this mountain covered with thick glaciers is Mount Aktik.
These two mountains, both over 2,500 meters above sea level, stand like two giants in the center of Kutinirpark National Park. Their majestic appearance can be seen even from 200 kilometers away.
Although Yang Jing only wandered south for two hours yesterday, he did not find anything. Moreover, from Alert to the south, even if they went deep into the depths of Ellesmere Island, with the ability of Bodman and his team at that time, even if they hid the treasure, they could not go too far into Ellesmere Island.
There is a great possibility that it is on the shore of Ellesmere Island.
The weather was fine today. Yang Jing and his team flew westward along the coastline. After flying for about twenty minutes and an estimated distance of more than one hundred kilometers, Yang Jing seemed to discover a flash of orange-red light when he glanced inadvertently.
"Chris, head towards the seven o'clock direction." Yang Jing gave the order decisively. The flash of orange-red light just now was not conspicuous. When Yang Jing found it and wanted to take a closer look, he had lost the target. After flying forward for about ten kilometers and reaching the shore, Yang Jing rediscovered the red light.
There is a mountain range ahead, and the red light comes from the place where the mountain range and hills meet, and it seems to be under a cliff.
This discovery made Yang Jing somewhat excited. It seemed that his guess was correct. The nautical map drawn by "Sea Snake" Bodman was not just a random drawing, but it really represented a treasure hiding place.
But whether it was Boardman or Bartholomew Roberts, these two guys really thought far ahead and hid the treasure in such a remote place. God knows what these two partners were thinking at the time.
Hiding the treasure here, let alone in that era, even if it is put here now, if there is no sufficiently advanced transportation equipment, I am afraid no one will be able to find it.
After the Antarctic Tern flew over the area, it prepared to lower its altitude.
"Boss, I'm afraid we can't land here. One reason is that the ground below is uneven, and another is that there seems to be a swamp below. We'd better find another place to land."
Yang Jing nodded, and Chris pulled the joystick, and the plane flew in the direction it came from.
After flying about four or five kilometers, Chris found a flat place to land. The landing location was only five or six hundred meters away from the sea.
This place is further north than Alert, and there is still some residual ice and snow on the ground that has not melted.
The helicopter landed steadily on a flat rock. After the eight people were ready, they formed a scattered formation and walked towards the direction they had just been.
The eight of them all carried guns. When they walked in such a place, they were not afraid of outsiders, but those terrifying indigenous creatures.
For example, polar bears and Arctic wolves are capable of posing great danger to humans.
There was a not very high hill between the landing site and the cliff. After they climbed up the hill, they were immediately attracted by the scene in front of them.
