Chapter 458: The Misleading Adjutant

In fact, if you look closely, you can still see a lot of scenes worthy of laughter along the way.

However, while seeing joy, it is inevitable to see something that makes people feel depressed.

For example, just when the Blue Whale was about to reach its destination, Yang Jing and Gege once again witnessed the cruel side of nature.

The Blue Whale's tentative destination is Rastorguev Island, off the coast of Russia, which is on a continental shelf, less than 400 meters from the nearest point of Eurasia, and the entire island is surrounded by an archipelago.

It is obviously impossible to get close to the island of Rastorguev, and with the draft of the Blue Whale, even if it sees the island of Rastorguev, it can only anchor and anchor in the sea at least three kilometers away from the island.

This entire area is strictly uninhabited, and there are no people, so where did the deep-water port come from for the Blue Whale to dock?

So, if you want to get on the island of Rastorguev, you still have to count on the two assault boats and the Antarctic Tern helicopter.

But even if you want to get close to this island, you have to be careful to pass through the dense islands to the north, and when the Blue Whale slows down and carefully crosses this archipelago, almost the whole ship has seen this shocking and helpless scene.

A huge sperm whale ran aground.

The sperm whale didn't know how long it had been stranded, but the huge carcass was just lying on the shore, half of its body on the shore and half of its body soaked in the sea.

A few days ago, there happened to be a big ebb and flow, and it is estimated that this huge sperm whale was accidentally stranded at that time.

Probably the biggest killer of huge whales is the coastline. Once they run aground, then it usually means death.

This sperm whale, which is estimated to weigh at least twenty-five tons, died here for this reason.

However, even if it died, its body could not be preserved.

Not because of the decomposition, but because a group of polar bears had their eyes on the giant carcass.

This year's spring and summer temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere are relatively high, which makes polar bear hunting much more difficult than in previous years. Many polar bears don't have enough to eat during the summer months, and some have not eaten even a single bit of meat or fat for weeks.

As mentioned earlier, in this case, if the polar bear is unable to catch prey, then the polar bear that cannot replenish enough fat before the onset of winter will have more than 90% chance of dying in the harsh winter.

It's like these six or seven polar bears, apparently the same as the one that was driven away by the walrus herd before, they are all hungry and skinny, and if you judge by the normal trajectory, these polar bears will not survive this winter.

But on the road to endless bears, just when these polar bears were about to starve to death, God took advantage of the opportunity of the shoal and the great ebb tide to send these polar bears a big gift, a big gift enough for them to survive this winter - a stranded sperm whale.

Whales have more fat than seals and walruses, and while calves like beluga whales are on the polar bear's diet, hunting whales in the ocean is an almost impossible task for polar bears.

However, once the whale is stranded, it will inevitably attract all the polar bears within a radius of 100 kilometers. A sperm whale weighing 25 tons is enough for six, seven, or even ten polar bears to eat a brain full of fat.

It is no exaggeration to say that if the carcass of this sperm whale had not completely decomposed before the onset of winter, the carcass of this sperm whale alone could have allowed ten polar bears to survive a harsh winter.

Nature is so cruel and unforgiving, but sometimes it gives a way out.

No wonder the phrase "life and death in the Arctic are forever intertwined" is so widespread in the Arctic Circle. The scene in front of me has already vividly interpreted the true meaning of this sentence.

It's cruel and real, but it makes people feel very uncomfortable when they see it.

Along the way, Gege and Yang Jing saw too much joy and sorrow, and the week-long journey finally came to an end as the Blue Whale anchored in the sea about three kilometers from the eastern tip of Rastorguev Island.

Next, it was time for Yang Jing and the others to go out and search for the treasure of the legendary last tsar according to the treasure map drawn by Kuvaevich Antonov, the adjutant of General Kolchak.

It's just that it's not so easy to find the exact burial spot of this treasure.

Yang Jing: The difficulties they faced were even more difficult than finding Bashalomew's treasure some time ago.

The main reason for saying this is that the treasure map drawn by Kuvaevich Antonov is too simple, and the scale is amazingly small, and it is no exaggeration to say that Kuvaevich Antonov used to be Kolchak's adjutant, but this thing didn't know how to get into this position at the beginning. If nothing else, if General Kolchak were to see this hand-drawn map, even General Kolchak would not be able to stand it.

It is said that although you Kuvaevich Antonov are not the prime minister's gatekeepers, General Kolchak is also a Russian admiral, and his power is not ordinarily great, but as General Kolchak's adjutant, why is your level so low? You can't even draw a map.

Kuvajevich Antonov's treasure map is smaller than the one drawn by Sea Serpent Boardman, about the size of a thirty-two carat piece of paper. Although the Siberian terrain is depicted above, and the two routes of the Trans-Siberian Railway and the Yenisei River are accurately marked, the final treasure location is vaguely drawn.

A point is just like that, and even a target as large as the Taimyr Peninsula is plausible.

If Yang Jing could see this Kuvaevich Antonov, he would have to spit on this guy a few times.

The Taimyr Peninsula is a large peninsula with an area of 400,000 square kilometers, but see for yourself what you are drawing!

But no matter how dissatisfied Yang Jing was, he could only complain, after all, no one even knew where Mr. Kuvajevich Antonov was buried.

"I guess this Mr. Antonov just doesn't want people to find the final burial site. Or maybe it was simply this guy who learned that Kolchak was captured by the Red Army after hiding the treasure, so this guy got selfish and drew such a plausible map. After looking at the map, Gege gave such a judgment very firmly.

"Look at the bottom half of this map, how accurately it is drawn, even the Trans-Siberian Railway and the Yenisei River are drawn so accurately, so how can this Mr. Antonov not be able to draw such a large Tamyr Peninsula? Perhaps Antonov was worried about the discovery of this treasure map when he drew it. But according to his way of drawing, it doesn't matter if this picture is discovered, it is estimated that no one except Antonov himself knows where the specific treasure is located. ”

Gege's words are very reasonable, not to mention Yang Jing at this time, even Chris and they can see the cattiness of this treasure map.

"I guess when you saw this treasure map, because Antonov was General Kolchak's aide-de-camp, so you thought this guy would hide the treasure on the island named after General Kolchak? ”

"The reason why this Mr. Antonov painted this treasure map in the first place is probably to mislead others. Otherwise, why didn't he just mark the location on the island in front of us? This island is not small enough to be hundreds of square kilometers, how big is a point? Is it difficult to mark it directly?"

Yang Jing shook his head in distress, "Daughter-in-law, then you mean it's wrong for us to anchor and stop the ship here?"

"How is it wrong? The treasure map that Antonov drew at the time, although inaccurate, is roughly in this area. We came by boat, and there was no port around where the Blue Whale could dock, so we had to anchor here. Don't we have the Antarctic Tern? Wouldn't it be nice to sit on this guy every day and go out to look for it? Anyway, your Great Hope Qi Technique is so far away that you can see the treasure hiding place. Gege said with a smile.

These words made Yang Jing speechless, the "Great Hope Qi Technique" that was made up in the auction of the Beaumont warehouse in order to hide the Tianyan skill was actually taken true by everyone, and even Gege, the daughter-in-law of the prospective Yang family, knew about it.

"Such a large area, even if I have a great hope of qi skills, I will be blind! This area is too big, hundreds of thousands of square kilometers. ”

Gege looked at the parchment treasure map, frowned and thought for a while and said, "Actually, we should judge where this guy might have hidden the treasure in the end based on the route that Antonov led the soldiers to advance back then. ”

"You mean the Yenisei?"

"Well, I didn't say that, didn't Antonov write on the back of the treasure map? He was ordered to lead fifty soldiers with two military vehicles to the northern region of Siberia to hide these treasures. However, it was freezing weather when he left Krasnoyarsk, and the Yenisei River must not be able to go, so it is very likely that Antonov will first march north along the Yenisei River as Kolchak said, and will be stationed in the Tunguska area. When the cold had passed and the Yenisei River had opened, there was a great possibility that he would take the soldiers and the two trucks down the Yenisei River by boat. Otherwise, why did he paint the Yenisei so clearly?"

"You mean that it is very likely that Antonov will follow the thawed Yenisei River all the way to the Arctic Ocean, and that these treasures may be hidden in some island in the Arctic Ocean?"

Gege bit his lower lip and pondered for a while before he said, "It's a possibility, but I don't think it's a big possibility, because there's a Dixon at the end of the Yenisei Bay!"
