Chapter 1784: Sudden power outage

The cold wind was blowing, the weather in Greenland was quite cold, and at the foot of the white mountains, the daily work of the air base continued.

They don't know that even on the hillside behind them, there are people watching them all the time, and now, these people are not only observing them, but also taking action.

"When the time comes, let's act." A man dressed in animal skins who looked like a living Inuit said, but underneath the hat was a Caucasian face.

"Okay." As they spoke, the men behind them began to move, and they raised a long wooden stick, and at the end of the stick, a dead seabird hung from it.

Several of them worked together, straining their strength to support the ten-meter-long stick, and the seabird slowly moved forward, gradually moving towards the power line.

Suddenly, sparks came out of the power line, and this spark was so brilliant that it splashed everywhere, and the dead seabird, its whole body twitched, and quickly turned black, and black smoke came out.

The power line continued to spark, and suddenly, with a bang, a power line suddenly burned and fell.

Succeed!

A few people holding sticks quickly retracted the sticks, and at this time, each of them was trembling in their hearts, which was thousands of volts!

Although the people who planned this event swore that the insulation measures were in place, they would not be in any danger, but, after all, they were hands-on, and they were quite afraid that the electricity would be carried down the sticks and roast several of them, and now it seemed that it was as expected.

The power line broke, completely simulated as if it were a natural accident, a bird got tired and fell on the power line, only to be electrocuted, and at the same time, the power line also broke due to heat.

Well, that's it.

inside the base.

The radar was still spinning, and Novotny listened to the call on the radio and knew that the target aircraft had become four, and suddenly Novotny had a sense of foreboding.

It can't be a fishing operation, right?

The Americans deliberately set a trap and waited until their own planes flew over, and a large group of fighters came out to greet them, which is also entirely possible, after all, it has been out of the radar detection range of their own side, and it is too simple for the Americans to ambush and sneak attack.

However, even if the Americans want to sneak attack and group fight, I'm afraid they will fail, right? Not to mention anything else, at least if your own fighter finds that it is a trap, as long as it climbs up in one breath and reaches an altitude of 14,000, it will be invincible.

Carl has always been his wingman, and he has a lot of experience, and he will never fall in love.

Thinking of this, Novotny was going to press the radio talk switch and shout a few words to the front, don't fall in love, the situation is not good, then hurry back, anyway, the other party has been expelled, even if the task is completed.

Just as he was about to shout, he heard a snap, and then, the lights overhead went out, the radio station in front of him was not lit, and the sounds of various machines and equipment outside also disappeared.

"What's going on?" Novotny pushed the door open, and the cold wind from outside whizzed in, and he shouted loudly.

"There's a power outage." One soldier shouted loudly: "Our entire base is without power. ”

In fact, the general field bases are equipped with their own generators, but because Greenland is relatively cold, the electricity consumption is relatively large, and it happens that the base has ready-made power transmission lines that are connected to the outside world, which are arranged by the Americans, so of course they directly use the lines from the outside world.

Generally, in cold places, you can burn a fireplace, but not here, it is cold everywhere, and there is nowhere to chop wood, so the heating is all electricity, and the power consumption is quite large.

Now, all of a sudden, there is a power outage.

"Start the backup generator immediately." Novotny shouted.

Heating electricity can be put aside, wiring can be checked, and power can be restored, and now they need to start the backup generators immediately, at least with the radios, radar, and navigation equipment set up in the base.

At this time, Novotny was already thinking about it, any accidental accident has a reason, and it is unusual for a sudden power outage when one's own fighter jets are far away from the base and may encounter traps.

When the power supply is restored, the command will be issued immediately to return the two fighters that have attacked!

There must be a conspiracy in this.

Without Novotny's orders, the two ground crews had already hurried to the side of the power truck, they were well-trained.

It is a Ford truck chassis modified power generation vehicle, and in the back compartment is a Mercedes-Benz diesel engine driving a 200-kilowatt generator, which is enough to meet the emergency power demand.

The ground staff got on the generator car and twisted the diesel engine start switch behind it.

The start switch is divided into two gears, the first gear is preheating, in this cold weather, it cannot be started without preheating.

The glow plug starts heating the cylinder, and after three minutes, the preheat indicator turns off, and then the ground crew twists the start switch towards the second gear.

"Buzz, buzz." The starter made a loud noise, but the diesel engine could not be heard, nor could the black smoke coming out of the exhaust pipe.

"Not good!" A ground crew shouted: "Diesel is frozen!" ”

It's freezing here, and although they have used the lowest grade of diesel, although all the oil circuits have been wrapped, and although they have carried out a routine start-up inspection every day, the chain has fallen at this critical time.

"Quick, roast the fire!" The ground crew shouted.

In Finland, Germany sent personnel to operate on the ground, so that once the war in the Soviet Union was too long and dragged on until winter, it could continue to fight and be fully prepared.

The USSR did not use it, but in Iceland, in Greenland, it was used.

A ground worker took out a rotten cloth, poured a little oil on it, lit it, and roasted it along the pipeline.

The baking engine is very particular, the oil circuit is baked quickly, the oil pipe cannot be baked because of overheating, the diesel filter, and the fuel tank need to be baked repeatedly and quickly.

After roasting for three minutes, the ground crew said, "It's no problem now, let's relight the fire!" ”

So, the ground staff who operated the start knob continued to twist the knob, hoping to hear the familiar sound of the high-pressure oil pump spraying oil, hoping to see the black smoke coming out of the exhaust pipe.

"Buzz, buzz." The starter is idling, but the engine still can't start?

At this time, the ground crew had to unscrew the lid of the fuel tank, and when he violated the regulations and directly put the torch over to light it, he saw that a large ice lump had formed inside!

The diesel fuel in the fuel tank turned into ice, which is terrible!
