Chapter 420 The Blue Whale

The engagement ceremony between Yang Jing and Princess is scheduled for the eighth day of the fifth lunar month and the twenty-first day of the sixth lunar month in the Gregorian calendar. This day is also the summer solstice solar term.

Yang Jing and Princess were wandering in Lijiang and Dali for a week. After returning to Chuncheng, they flew back to Jinling with Princess Fang Yin.

After that day of conditioning, the princess' father Bai Zhengqiang has rejuvenated himself. It is definitely not nonsense to say that he is twenty years younger. Bai Zhengqiang, who is fifty years old, is more energetic than those young people around thirty years old. As for his health, he is even less said, which surprised some staff members who are familiar with the mayor.

However, Bai Zhengqiang was unable to return to Jinling with the three of them for the time being. He was going to take the evening flight back to Jinling on the night of the 20th. As the head of the government of a sub-provincial city, he was too busy.

The engagement ceremony was confirmed to be held in Jinling, so after Yang Jing sent Fang Yin and Princess to Jinling, he took the high-speed train back to Tianqu. He was about to accompany his parents to Jinling after the Dragon Boat Festival holiday.

Engagement is different from marriage, and the princess' parents have also determined that the engagement will not be done, so the two closest people in the family sit together for a meal, and take various procedures that should be left during the meal, even if the engagement ceremony is completed.

So when we got engaged on this day, there were not many people coming except for Yang Jing and Princess, who were the two protagonists, only the parents of both parties, Princess' grandparents, as well as Fang Ru and Liu Zhentao. Originally, Yang Jing's grandparents wanted to come with them, but considering that they were too old and the weather in Jinling was hot, they were afraid that the old couple would not be able to stand it, so they didn't let them come with them.

Princess’ uncle Fang Jin was the top leader in another place, and the couple had no time to come back.

But this is just engagement, not marriage, and it doesn't matter whether they come or not.

The two families had an engagement banquet for nine people at a private club. Princess' mother was the boss behind the scenes of this high-end private club. The daughter of her boss was engaged, and the club naturally performed eighteen kinds of martial arts and arranged in all aspects very thoughtful.

The engagement gift was not much, and Yang’s father and mother gave the Bai family one million yuan, which meant that the princess was a good girl and a good daughter-in-law who chose one million yuan.

In fact, whether it is not rich or not is nothing to both companies. Fang Yin is the boss of Baichuang Investment, with a net worth of tens of billions, and the family is definitely not short of money. Although Yang Jing is just starting out, if his current net worth is exchanged for national currency, it will reach tens of billions.

Moreover, the jewelry that Yang Jing gave to the princess when he was engaged was not to mention ordinary people, even Fang Yin, the mother-in-law, was very moved when she saw it.

More than 20 carats of pink diamond ring + colorless diamond necklace + Kashmir sapphire necklace + pigeon blood-red ruby ​​brooch, the combined value of these four jewelry is hundreds of millions. The most important thing is that even if you have money, you can't buy such a top-notch gem!

Such a son-in-law is definitely hard to find with a lantern.

Both Fang Yin and Bai Zhengqiang were very satisfied with this.

The future Taishan Taishui is satisfied, and there is no obstacle to engagement. In addition, the meals made in the private club are indeed exquisite and delicious, so the engagement banquet was passed smoothly.

From today on, Yang Jing will be the fiancé of Bai Yu Ge, and Bai Yu Ge is Yang Jing’s fiancée!

To be honest, it was not easy for two people to get to the present from five years ago. After experiencing all kinds of unsatisfactory experiences, but finally got together, which is considered affectionate. The people finally got married.

Although the two of them are still missing the last procedure, but at this point, there is no power in this world that can separate the two people again.

As for the future path, it is to work together to create a better life.

Both Yang and Yang's father and mother, and Bai's father and mother were very satisfied with the couple. As for the princess's grandmother, she was so happy that her face was blooming. This wise old man knew all of Yang Jing's skills. Of course, she knew that it was definitely a kind of happiness for her granddaughter to follow such a promising young man.

As long as the child is happy, nothing is more important than this!

After getting engaged, Yang Jing and Princess discussed going to the United States. It was the end of June, and it was time to go to the Arctic to explore what was hidden on the nautical chart left by the pirates. In addition, this season is also a good time to find the treasures of the last Russian tsar.

Both of these places belong to the Arctic region, and there are only two or three months to go in a year. After this time window, it is really inappropriate to go to that kind of place again.

Not to mention winter, even the Arctic in autumn is enough to kill people. Like the Antarctic, there is no distinction between four seasons, only the warm season and the cold season. In the autumn of the northern hemisphere, the Arctic has entered a cold season that can kill people.

Going to these two places is something that Yang Jing and Princess have long discussed. Princess is also very interested in this legendary treasure hunt. I guess no one in this world will not be indifferent to this treasure hunt, except for fools.

The two of them just got engaged. In Yang Jing's words, let's go on an engagement honeymoon trip together.

Both of them were engaged, and the princess wore a huge pink diamond ring on her hands. Therefore, the parents of both parties did not stop the couple from traveling, nor did they give any advice. Even if they were killed, they would have to marry with their children. Anyway, the name between the two had been decided.

In this way, Yang Jing and Princess boarded a flight to San Francisco from Shanghai to Shanghai on the third day after their engagement.

This flight is a direct flight from Shanghai International Airport to Boston Logan International Airport in the United States. You get on the plane at around 9 pm and have a good sleep in the first class of the plane. You arrive in Boston at around 6 AM. After getting off the plane, you don’t even have to fall off the jet lag.

Of course, after this trip, there will be another one more day in the life of the two people...

The reason why I did not stop in San Francisco but went directly to Boston was because the boat Lindan rented was in Boston.

If you want to go to the Arctic to hunt for treasure, you must find a boat that is powerful enough. Before Yang Jing returned from the United States last time, he did not let Lin Dan and Chris return home, with the goal of asking them to find a boat that is reliable enough in the United States.

Lin Dan did not disappoint Yang Jing. In the past twenty days after Yang Jing returned to China, he actually found a very powerful ship.

"Brother Yang, is this ship fun?" Lin Dan said, pointing to the big ship in front of him, which was covered in blue and black, but the tower bridge was white, with a length of more than 130 meters.

The ship's hull was sprayed with black paint on the ship's name - the Ingram Blue Whale.

"No, not bad, this ship is well-finished." Even Yang Jing couldn't help but be attracted by the big guy with a full load displacement of more than 18,000 tons.

At this time, Yang Jing and his friends were not in Boston Harbor, but on the Tanghe Bay Pier in Quincy City, about fifteen kilometers south of Boston.

Since Lin Dan received Yang Jing's mission, he has been looking for suitable ships all over the world.

Ships that can meet the ability to hunt treasures in the Arctic must first have ice breaking capabilities, secondly, have sufficient tonnage to ensure supplies, and at the same time, they must have sufficient advanced equipment.

Going to the North Pole is not a joke, you can go wherever you want. You must be the most prepared to go to that kind of place, and it is not too much to be sufficient. Because in that kind of area, if there is any negligence, it is a fatal thing - even in the warm season.

To sum up, if you want to find a suitable ship, it is the polar scientific research ship. This kind of ship designed specifically for base scientific research has sufficient guarantees for ice-breaking capabilities or logistics support. So after accepting this task, Lin Dan began to look for polar scientific research ships in North America.

It is just that it is not easy to find ships that can go to the Arctic region at this time. Although Antarctica is now in the cold season, it is the best season for Arctic scientific research, so many scientific research ships that meet the conditions have all left the port.

However, with the opening of a lot of money, he finally found a ship that met the conditions.

This Ingram Blue Whale scientific research ship is a polar scientific research ship affiliated to a private polar scientific research organization in the United States. The name of this private polar scientific research organization is "Ingram", so the name of this ship is called Ingram Blue Whale.

Not only is the name Blue Whale, but the color of this ship is like a huge blue whale.

"This ship was built by a German shipyard. It was launched in 2008, only ten years ago. The length of the Blue Whale is 141.8 meters, the width is 26.2 meters, and the full load displacement is 18,500 tons." Lin Dan explained on the side.

After hearing this, the princess asked, "Yang Jing, do we need to use such a large ship? Is this ship too big?"

Yang Jing shook his head and looked at Lin Dan again. Lin Dan quickly explained: "Sister-in-law, this ship is not big. The place we are going to is in the Arctic waters, so we must use a large-tonnage ice-breaking research ship. Although the Arctic is now warm, it is not too easy to be careful when sailing in the Arctic Ocean."

After a pause, Lin Dan continued: "It's like the Blue Whale returned from Antarctica in March and has just been renovated. The ship has sufficient supply capacity and endurance, and also carries a helicopter that can take six people, which ensures that the ship has sufficient survivability and risk aversion. In case, I mean, if we encounter any danger in the Arctic Ocean, we can last for a long time with the supply we put on. Moreover, after the modified helicopter has a range of up to 1,200 kilometers, which is enough to allow us to reach the coastline."

Hearing this, the princess nodded with satisfaction, "Linzi, what's the price of renting this boat? It should be very expensive, right?"

Lin Dan nodded, "Sister-in-law, if you rent such a polar scientific research boat, the weekly rental fee is 240,000 US dollars. People don't care about other expenses, they have to pay for the supplies, materials, etc."

"It's so expensive!" After hearing this price, Princess couldn't help but stick out her tongue.

Yang Jing smiled and said, "The price is already very fair. This is a polar scientific research ship, and the price is very expensive. Do you know that Russian oil tycoon Abu, do you know?"

The princess nodded.

"Do you know the price for renting out the Sun Eclipse in Abu?"

The princess shook her head.
