Due to refining reasons, in the fractionation tower, kerosene, gasoline and other light oils are on the top, and there is generally no moisture, while diesel is below, so there is often diesel mixed with water.

But now, almost all the diesel fuel in the fuel tank has turned into ice, which is still beyond the cognitive ability of the ground crew, and it seems that their own diesel fuel is not so unbearable?

This should not be a normal phenomenon, then, it also means that it may be artificial, in the base, not only their own personnel, but also some indigenous people recruited from the local area to undertake the infrastructure task, is there a problem among them?

When the news broke that the generator could not be started temporarily, Novotny knew that this was no ordinary situation.

"First squadron, take off with me." Novotny shouted: "Let's go for reinforcements." ”

Now, the situation has become very clear, the Americans lured their two planes to leave, and then, through the shameless means of cutting off the power supply at the base, cut off the connection with the front, which means that the two planes that have just taken off may have been more than lucky.

This could not help but make Novotny anxious, and he hurriedly grabbed his flight cap, ran outside, and climbed into his own fighter.

If Americans want to play tricks, they must let them know the consequences of playing tricks! Now, Novotny started his own aircraft engine, and then, as fast as he could, slid down the runway and took off.

Behind him, one storm after another took off, heading in the direction his plane had just left.

………

Sure enough, the other party shamelessly wants to take advantage of the ultra-low altitude!

Ted and his own plane have dispersed, one to the east and the other to the west, and Ted is now working hard to get the first result of his life.

As he thought, the other party took advantage of the altitude, and when his plane dived down, the speed was very fast, and as long as he missed a hit, he had to pull up again.

In this way, like a dragonfly, Ted has carried out three attacks, but the opponent's pilots are very skilled and can always dodge Ted's attacks at critical times, and after a few times, Ted can't hit at all.

At this point, Ted knew that things were not going well.

The other party came prepared, and the other party was a double plane, when he attacked one of the planes, the other plane would observe from a distance, and when he was about to open fire, he would remind him to dodge, and the two sides cooperated tacitly, so that they could not attack effectively at all.

At the same time, now the other party is circling the sea, and he no longer knows where to fly.

"Gummy calls the long plane, gummy calls the long plane." After climbing up again, Ted shouted over the radio that he wanted to ask for instructions to withdraw from the battle, and to look at his fuel indicator, there was only half a tank of fuel left, and he had to return in time.

However, there was a stinging sound of electricity in the headphones, and there was no response from the long machine.

What's going on?

In a short period of time, he has been separated from the long plane, and then the distance is too far, resulting in the interruption of radio communication? Or is it for some other reason?

In the Arctic region, high-energy particles often pass through the atmosphere and form beautiful auroras over the North Pole, and at the same time, these high-energy particles also cause some interference, so sometimes the radio is interrupted.

Well, we can't delay any longer, and if we run out of fuel, we'll be in big trouble.

After calling again, but without a response, Ted decided to fly back on his own, and he turned in the air, ready to align himself with his base.

Wait, what's going on?

The direction of his own radio compass and the direction indicated by the magnetic compass do not coincide?

A magnetic compass is a device that uses the geomagnetic field to navigate, which is simply a compass, and it can be converted to other directions on the above standard.

The radio compass is a radio navigation equipment, the on-board radio compass receives the electromagnetic waves emitted from the ground homing station, manually or automatically tracks the direction of electromagnetic waves with a loop antenna, and continuously measures the angle between the longitudinal axis of the aircraft and the direction of electromagnetic waves, that is, the relative azimuth, and the relative azimuth is measured in a clockwise direction and indicated by an indicator. The pilot guides the aircraft to the homing platform or to the back according to the relative azimuth.

Since it flew to the sea and went through an air battle, it was not easy to know exactly where it was and then determine the course, so it was necessary to use various means of navigation.

Generally speaking, the magnetic compass and the radio compass are used together to improve accuracy, but now, the direction of the two indications is actually different!

So, which direction to fly?

"Gummy calls base, gummy calls base." Ted shouted over the radio.

The call captain didn't respond, the call base didn't respond, and there was a stabbing sound in the headphones, so Ted decided to adjust his radio knob and prepare to switch to a different frequency band and use the backup band.

Just as he was spinning, he suddenly turned to a civilian radio station, he paused briefly and heard the broadcast inside: "Sunspots are frequently active, which will have a great impact on our earth, causing our radio interference, and will also affect our earth's magnetic field, which will affect our production and life. In particular, the impact on the Antarctic and the Arctic is the most severe. Due to the rotation of the Earth, the position of the Earth's axis has the most energetic particles. ”

"Professor Torricelli, as an astronomer, you are the most knowledgeable, tell us why sunspots suddenly erupted?"

"Okay, I'll introduce you to ,..."

Sunspots, the Earth's magnetic field suffers, well, that's how it happened.

In this case, the magnetic compass may no longer be accurate, so follow the radio compass, at least the radio navigation equipment of the base will not deceive itself.

In order to save fuel, Ted flew to an altitude of 15,000 meters, the higher the altitude, the thinner the air, the less drag, the more fuel-efficient the aircraft, especially for jets, increasing the altitude can significantly increase the range.

After setting course, Ted began to return.

At this time, Ted didn't know that because of the sudden power outage in his base, all the equipment was temporarily unusable, and this radio navigation signal was faked by the Americans.

As he flew, he deviated more and more, and when he saw an island in the distance, it was not Greenland, but Baffin Island in Canada.
