Mount Hagen, as the name suggests, the city is named after a mountain.
That’s right, this capital of Papua New Guinea’s Western Highlands Province, a new city that has only emerged in the past two decades, is named after a mountain called Mount Hagen, which is more than 20 kilometers west of the city.
In English, the name of this mountain is "Mount Hagen", which is transliterated as Mount Hagen.
Mount Hagen is located at an altitude of about 1,800 meters, which can be regarded as a semi-highland city. However, Mount Hagen is located in a valley plain. Around this valley plain, there are several mountains with an altitude of more than 4,000 meters. For example, Mount Giruwe in the south of the city has an altitude of more than 4,200 meters. About 80 kilometers east of Matthagen stands Mount William, the highest peak in Papua New Guinea. The altitude of this mountain is as high as 4,509 meters!
Yes, Mount Hagen is a city surrounded by mountains.
Mount Hagen's transportation is also one of the best in the whole of Papua New Guinea. There is a main road in this city that connects to the port city of Lae. This main road also connects to the Porgera gold mine in the western Enga Province.
About seven kilometers east of Mount Hagen, there is an airport with a 2,250-meter runway that can accommodate twin-engine medium-sized passenger aircraft including Boeing 787 and Airbus A320.
Although Mount Hagen is an emerging city, it is at a high altitude, so even though it is not far from the equator, the temperature here is much lower than that in Port Moresby.
After Yang Jing and his group landed at Mount Hagen Airport, the cool breeze blowing in his face made Yang Jing take a deep breath of comfort. This city with less than 50,000 people is really suitable for human habitation.
The Western Highlands Province is the center of the area, which includes Enga Province in the west, Chimbu Province and Eastern Highlands Province in the east, and Southern Highlands Province in the south. It is the highest altitude area in Papua New Guinea and also the area with the richest mineral resources. So when Guo Dabao came, he chose this area as the first choice for investigation.
However, this area was just as Guo Xiang had described. Apart from a few fixed towns, the rest was extremely dangerous primitive jungle. Guo Xiang even encountered the legendary headhunters in the lower altitude areas of the Southern Highlands Province.
There are no other roads in this area except the two roads branching off from Mount Hagen. Of course, the roads that some people have trampled can only be walked on, and cars are absolutely not allowed to pass. So as Guo Xiang said, it is impossible to find anything in this area whether by car or helicopter. If you want to really explore, you can only walk.
This is the case for others, but for Yang Jing who has eye skills, the only way to investigate here is to take a helicopter.
So, when the group arrived in the city of Mount Hagen, Adrian, the local bodyguard leader hired by Guo Xiang before, took the initiative to rent a helicopter.
Mount Hagen has a suitable climate, so many wealthy foreigners come here for vacation every year. Adrian is an Australian, a retired soldier. After retiring, he came to Mount Hagen and worked as a bodyguard for wealthy foreigners who came here for vacation. He has been in the local area for more than ten years and is definitely a local snake.
If you want to get good results here, you can't do without local people like this. But after Chris and his team were in place, Adrian could only act as a guide and provide logistical support. In terms of security, he was not even a little bit behind Chris and his team.
Fortunately, Adrian was aware of the gap between himself and Chris and the others, and was not dissatisfied with his declining status. For him, as long as the employer could pay enough commission, they could completely regard the employer as God.
After getting to know Adrian, Chris and his team did not act superior. They were all retired soldiers, and no one had more eyes than the other. As the saying goes, everyone has their own expertise. Chris and his team had no problem with security, but in a place like this, even they needed a strong enough local boss to support their security work.
So Chris and his team quickly became friends with Adrian's team. Although these former soldiers did not serve the same country, there were not so many tricks among the soldiers. As long as you can demonstrate enough ability, you can easily gain the respect of the others.
Adrian's team members admired the military qualities of Chris and his team, but at the same time, Adrian's team members' familiarity with the local conditions was also what Chris and his team urgently needed, so the two gangs got to know each other in less than an hour.
"BOSS, I have rented the helicopter you need, it's an Agusta A119, which can seat eight people with a pilot." Although Guo Dabao and his son also came along, this group of people followed Yang Jing's lead, so Adrian cleverly treated Yang Jing as the big boss.
"Thank you, Ade. After lunch, we'll go and explore the area. Is it okay for you to be the co-pilot?"
"Don't worry, Boss. I often fly this type of helicopter. Forget about being the co-pilot. I can even be the pilot."
Chris smiled and said, "Ade, your task this afternoon is to show me the way. I will be the main driver. I hope we can work together better."
Adrian nodded tactfully.
After lunch and a short rest, Yang Jing took Guo Xiang and several other bodyguards onto the helicopter.
This A119 light helicopter produced by Agusta can accommodate eight people in total and is a very mature helicopter. Some time ago, when Yang Jing went to the Arctic to hunt for treasure, he rented the Ingram Blue Whale, which had a ship-borne helicopter. Although that helicopter was also an AW109 helicopter produced by Agusta, it was one model higher than the A119. However, the A119 is a model extended from the AW109.
After adding auxiliary fuel tanks, the maximum range of this helicopter exceeds one thousand kilometers, which is fully capable of taking on the mission of this aerial survey.
Under Chris's skillful control, the plane took off quickly and soon climbed to an altitude of more than one thousand meters above the ground.
Since Yang Jing needs to use his eye skills to search for mineral veins over a large area, he must be at a certain height.
After the plane flew westward for about twenty minutes, Yang Jing quietly used the "Eye" skill.
PS: I would like to thank “震世界” for the reward of 500.
I went out for something temporarily, so this chapter is short, please forgive me...
