Yang Jing brought a map with a large scale. This map is a large scale map of the Krasnoyarsk Krai region in Russia. It clearly marked many places that cannot be seen on ordinary maps.

In the upper left corner of this map, which is the upper right corner of Yenisei Bay, the mouth of the Yenisei River, a city named "Dixon" is listed.

Yang Jing pointed at the location of Dixon and asked Princess, "Are you talking about here?"

"Well, it's here. Although this place is a very small city, indigenous people lived here a long time ago. In 1915, Russia set up a meteorological station here, and later Russians moved here one after another. Until now, it has developed into a small port city with a population of more than 2,500 people."

Yang Jing asked in confusion: "What is the connection between this city and Antonov's treasure transport ship?"

"Of course it's related. Think about it from the perspective of others. If you were Antonov, you were responsible for the heavy responsibilities entrusted by General Kolchak, and you also pulled two precious cars of treasures. When the Red Army swept across Russia, would you be careful and careful? Should you try to avoid everyone as much as possible?"

Yang Jing touched his chin and nodded, "Well, if I were Antonov, I would definitely do this."

"Isn't this going to end! Antonov was burdened by heavy responsibilities, and the two cars behind him were holding priceless treasures. It can even be said that General Kolchak's return to the east. Of course, Antonov had to be careful. So it is certain that during the journey north, he could not contact some residents in the north except in winter. Even when they spent the winter safely and continued to set off, they would kill all the residents who had contacted them to ensure the confidentiality of their itinerary. But as long as Antonov and his friends took a boat along the Yenisei River north, they would have to avoid Dixon, because that place was just stuck to the exit of the Yenisei River."

After a pause, Gege continued: "And if Antonov went north along the Yenisei River, he would definitely use an inland ship that had been looted from the settlements of the Tungus generation. Such ships could not leave the coastline too far, so if they wanted to avoid Dixon, they would inevitably be impossible to hide things on islands that were too far away from the coastline."

"I understand what you mean." Yang Jing said, marking the map with a ruler, and then calculating it a little, "Antonov is unlikely to hide his treasure in the area of ​​the Nordensscheld Islands. It is more than 500 kilometers away from the exit of Yenise Bay. Inland ships cannot have such a long voyage in the ocean. Then, the most likely place to hide the treasure is not on the island of Rastorguyev, but should be in the Pravnikovie Islands not far east of Yenise Bay, which is more than 200 kilometers away from Yenise Bay. If Antonov is careful, he can still run so far along the coastline. However, I don't think I can ignore it here."

As he said that, Yang Jing patted his forehead and said distressedly: "It would be a life if you want to find all of them in such a large area and so many islands."

The princess smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll look for it with you."

But this treasure hunt is destined to be a process of many hardships. When Yang Jing took Princess and five and six bodyguards to board the Antarctic Tern to start searching for nearby islands, a thick fog suddenly rose on the sea...

This made Yang Jing very depressed and there was no way to be depressed. In the coastal areas of Siberia in summer, this kind of thick fog often rises, and sometimes it can last for several days as soon as it appears.

This sudden heavy fog delayed Yang Jing and the others for four days. It was not until the fifth day that the fog dissipated and the clouds cleared, and the visibility increased again.

Since we have come here, we cannot let go of the surrounding islands. After all, in the treasure map drawn by Antonov, Rastorguyev Island is the first target.

But it is obvious that Gege's judgment is very correct. No red light appears on this island with an area of ​​more than 100 square kilometers. In other words, the black dot marked on the treasure map of Antonov is a trick.

In fact, you can tell that this island is not a place to hide treasures without searching for this island. This island is too smooth and there are not even hills over fifty meters. How can you hide treasures?

Antonov wouldn't be so stupid as to dig holes and hide treasures in the permafrost layer, right? Then he would be honest and stupid.

Digging holes in this permafrost layer, even if it is now, it is not a light work to dig with machinery, let alone a hundred years ago. If it were to dig holes here with iron, it would be much easier than to get here from Krasnoyarsk.

Since Rastorguyev Island is not a treasure hiding place, Yang Jing immediately expanded the search scope. He searched all the larger Nansen Island, Taimel Island, and the Russian island further north. Unfortunately, Antonov's treasure hiding convoy obviously had not arrived in this area.

Even though Yang Jing had the ability to search for these dozens of islands, it took more than three days. Now he has nothing to gain, so everyone has to move again.

Originally, the Blue Whale planned to turn west to the Pravnikovie Islands to continue searching, but the helicopter, which was so dying, had something wrong with it.

Chris and the others didn't know how to drive the helicopter, but they didn't understand how to repair it. The maintenance personnel on the ship were helpless about this kind of failure. In desperation, the Blue Whale could only prepare to enter Dickson to dock.

Although the pier in Dixon is not big, it is a deep-water port. It is fine to get on the Blue Whale to bend. However, the body of the Blue Whale is even longer than this pier, and the pier also has to leave a place for the supply ships that transport supplies, so the Blue Whale can only dock horizontally on the pier.

Although Dixon was small, the various facilities here were pretty good, and Captain Andre was very familiar with this place. It didn't take long to find the technician who repaired the helicopter.

However, it will take another day to repair the helicopter.

If you delay, just delay. Taking advantage of this time, Chris and the others drove off the modified heavy armored off-road vehicle and prepared to drive the car to search around.

This heavy armored transport vehicle was purchased in the United States and was transformed with a military Hummer Jeep. The tires are widened, and the chassis and carriages are also heightened, so that they can adapt to off-road marching in polar wilderness areas.

It is difficult to walk on the Siberian wilderness in summer, especially in Siberia, which is even more difficult to walk on in the Arctic Circle. If you didn’t see it with your own eyes, it would be hard to imagine how bad the situation here is.

By contrast, the Paris-Dakar Car Rally drives from the Sahara desert like driving on a highway.

Siberia in summer is simply a slush. Not to mention the road, even finding a solid piece of land is a luxury.

Especially in the area of ​​the Temer Peninsula, where rivers are densely populated, and the erosion of glaciers has caused the ground to be uneven. It is better in winter, and it is all frozen into a lump. Not to mention running cars, it is fine even if you run a tank.

But as summer comes, the temperature rises and the ice and snow melts, the area will be filled with puddles and lakes of all sizes. Not to mention driving here, ordinary cars can be guaranteed not to fall into it, even if the driver is skilled in driving.

Fortunately, there is still a permafrost under the melting ice and snow, so there are no large swamps here. With this modified high-power heavy-duty off-road vehicle, it can also move forward in the wilderness at an average speed of 20 kilometers per hour.

Moreover, this area is so flat that it makes people feel refreshed. If it weren't for those damn puddles, it would be even more comfortable than the prairie.

After a few days of heavy fog, the weather in this area is sunny and intoxicating. Although the temperature is a bit low, this temperature is definitely the most comfortable.

Every time the convoy drove forward for a distance, Yang Jing would stand on the roof of the car and observe it with a telescope. Under this terrain, as long as there was a treasure buried under the ground, the red light could be seen dozens of kilometers away.

But unfortunately, this area is obviously not a treasure hiding area.

In fact, just by thinking about it, you can understand that the situation in this area is not suitable for treasure hiding. Apart from the puddles, there are rivers and lakes, there is still a hard permafrost layer below. With the strength of Antonov and his team back then, it was absolutely impossible to hide the treasure in such an area.

After wandering around Dixon for a day, I didn't even notice any farts, but I used a lot of fuel.

This modified heavy-duty off-road vehicle has a fuel consumption of nearly 50 liters per 100 kilometers. The fuel tank that can hold 200 liters of diesel can support this car to run up to 400 kilometers.

Four cars ran for a day, and the 800 liters of diesel evaporated...

Fortunately, the Antarctic Tern was repaired the next day, and Yang Jing paid more than 40,000 US dollars in repairing this big guy.

With the Antarctic Tern, the search work was immediately smooth.

But unfortunately, except for the two days of rain in the middle, Yang Jing and his friends searched all the islands in the Pravnikovie Islands in the next week, but no treasure was found.

The failed search not only made Yang Jing and Princess physically and mentally exhausted, but also greatly damaged the morale of everyone.

On this day, heavy fog suddenly fell again, and the helicopter could not take off to search. Everyone got a rare opportunity to rest, so they got together to discuss the next search plan.

Although I have been searching for two weeks and found nothing, I have already made it to this point. It would be a pity if I give up. Therefore, the search work must continue to persist.
Chapter completed!
