Chapter 478 I was frightened...
The huge Mi-17 Hippo transport helicopter arrived soon from the Blue Whale.
The treasure had been found, and the Blue Whale looked quite safe, so Chris Patton and George Bruce drove the hippo to the cave at an extremely low altitude.
Compared with the small and cute Antarctic Tern, the hippo captured by Yang Jing and the others is a giant.
The length of this Mi-17 transport helicopter is nearly half longer than that of the Antarctic Tern, and the diameter of the propeller is nearly twice as large. The most important thing is its load capacity. Compared with the Antarctic Tern, which has a pitiful load capacity of less than one ton, the maximum load capacity of the hippopotamus can even exceed seven tons.
However, the hippo was equipped with a weapon hanger outside, and Chris and the others did not have time to remove it, so the hippo's load capacity was slightly less. Without the weapon hang, the hippo can now carry nearly six tons.
While driving this big guy over, Chris and George also brought some lifting tools and transportation vehicles that had been prepared long ago. The treasures in the cave were placed in wooden boxes, and tools must be used to load these things onto the helicopter.
Yang Jing was very puzzled how Antonov hid these big boxes in.
When Chris came, he brought four bodyguards, and now there are only two bodyguards left on the ship as a warning, and all the other bodyguards are here.
Although the tart cloth outside the wooden box was not damaged, the rope that tied the tart cloth had already rotted. But that didn't matter. Chris brought enough high-strength nylon belts. Everyone worked together, so they tied all the tart cloth outside the large box belts with nylon belts, then hung them out one by one with lifting tools, and then transported them to the hippo helicopter outside with a vehicle.
Chris and Carl were injured, and they were happy to watch the fun. Ten people, including Yang Jing and Princess, worked hard all the morning before moving out all these big boxes. During this period, Chris and Carl drove hippos to transport them to the Blue Whale three times, adding oil once in the middle. Until the evening, the more than 20 large wooden boxes were moved to the Blue Whale.
Because all these treasures are hidden in the box, even if the crew members on the Blue Whale see it, they don’t know what is inside.
Yang Jing explained to them that the things in the box were all mammoths found in an ancient mammoth mound found in the Belanga Mountains.
Nowadays, most countries in the world are embargoing ivory and ivory products, but mammoth ivory that has long been extinct is no longer in this ranks.
Moreover, compared with ivory, mammoth ivory is not only larger in size, but also has better texture, so the price of mammoth ivory is also extremely high. A very ordinary mammoth ivory can be sold for tens of thousands of dollars, and some top-quality mammoth ivory can even be sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars.
But mammoth ivory is not easy to find. After all, this animal has been extinct for tens of thousands of years. However, in some places, mammoth ivory can still be found. For example, Siberia is the world-famous mammoth ivory excavation site.
Although Russia had long ago banned the illegal excavation of mammoth ivory, Siberia is vast and sparsely populated, and the Russian authorities do not have the ability to monitor the entire Siberia, especially in northern Siberia, which is an area that is difficult for Russian government departments to manage. Therefore, many people who specialize in excavating mammoth ivory secretly dig out many mammoth ivory in Siberia every year.
Digging mammoth ivory will certainly violate Russian laws, but mammoth ivory is circulated internationally and has high value. Therefore, compared with the huge profits and liquidity of mammoth ivory, these ivory diggers would rather violate Russian laws than secretly dig mammoth ivory.
You Russian police can't catch us, why don't we dig these mammoth ivory?
Therefore, every year, thousands of ivory diggers secretly excavate mammoth ivory here on the vast land of Siberia. The Russian authorities also know this, but they are powerless to do anything about this dig. As a Russian American, Andrei and these crew members who have been traveling to the North and South Poles all year round also know this, so the crew took it for granted that Yang Jing and the others brought back a large number of mammoth ivory.
Especially Yang Jing said that he found a mammoth tomb, which even dispelled the crew's doubts. They all knew that Yang Jing was a rich man, so ordinary ivory families would not take it seriously at all. However, a legendary mammoth tomb has a fatal attraction to such a rich man.
A rich man like this may not move, but as long as he moves, he will inevitably clear the mammoth tomb. For such rich man, the value of the mammoth tomb is only secondary. What they like is the process of discovering such legendary places and exploring them in person.
More than 20 large boxes were moved into a cabin below the deck. Then, Yang Jing refused everyone's follow and plunged into the cabin. He said that he should first provide technical protection for these treasures.
The princess was very consciously not following Yang Jing into the cabin. Although she wanted to see the treasures at first sight, she also knew that Yang Jing did not need to be disturbed, and she couldn't help much after she went in, so it would be better not to follow Yang Jing and disturb Yang Jing.
Yang Jing stayed in the cabin for less than half an hour before coming out of the cabin and notified Captain Andre to start the anchor immediately.
As the huge anchor was lifted by the anchor, the huge body of the Blue Whale began to move, but the direction of the Blue Whale sailing was not the direction of the time it came, but was traveling eastward.
This was specifically explained by Yang Jing. Because the Blue Whale was very sufficient, Yang Jing planned to let the Blue Whale go east along the Siberian coastline, then enter the Pacific Ocean through the Bering Strait, and finally dock in the island city of Huaxialu Province.
That's right, Yang Jing didn't want to return to the United States as soon as possible. These treasures are too precious, so Yang Jing has to find a way to send these treasures back to China first.
As for Lin Dan’s matter, it would be better solved. After returning to China, he would call Zhao Meng directly and ask him to fly over to take Lin Dan back.
Compared to Lin Dan, Yang Jing attaches more importance to these treasures he just obtained.
Because the preciousness of this batch of treasures far exceeded Yang Jing's imagination, after he entered the cabin, he only opened three packaging boxes in the storage space, and was frightened by the three exposed works...
