Chapter 1784 Sudden power failure

The cold wind was whizzing, and the weather in Greenland was quite cold. At the foot of the white-capped mountains, the daily work in the air force base continued.

They didn't know that there were people observing them on the hillside behind them, and now, these people were not only observing them, but also taking practical actions.

"Time is up, let's take action." said a man wearing animal skins and looking like a lively Inuit man. Under the hat, there was a white face.

"Okay." The few people behind him said, and then they started to take action. They raised a long wooden stick. At the end of the stick, there was a dead seabird hanging.

The few of them worked together, supporting the ten-meter-long wooden stick, and the seabird slowly moved forward and gradually leaned towards the power line.

Suddenly, sparks appeared on the transmission line. The spark was extremely brilliant and splashed everywhere. The dead seabird was twitching all over, and quickly turned black and black smoke emerged.

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

success!

Several people holding the stick quickly retracted the stick. At this time, each of them was trembling in their hearts. It was a voltage of several thousand volts!

Although the people who planned the incident swear to ensure that the insulation measures were properly and they would not be in any danger, they were themselves, and were quite afraid that the current would be transmitted down the stick and roasted them all, and now it seems to be the same as expected.

The transmission line was broken, completely simulated like a natural accident. A bird was tired and fell on the transmission line, and was electrocuted. At the same time, the transmission line was also broken due to heat.

Well, that's it.

Inside the base.

The radar was still rotating. Novotney listened to the call inside the radio and knew that the target plane had become four. Suddenly, Novotney had an ominous premonition.

Could it be a fishing operation?

The Americans deliberately set up traps and waited until their planes flew over, and a large group of fighter planes came out to greet them. This was completely possible. After all, it was already out of their radar detection range. It was too simple for the Americans to ambush and attack.

However, even if the Americans want to attack or fight in groups, they may fail? Not to mention anything else, at least if their own fighter planes find it a trap, they just climb up in one breath and reach an altitude of 14,000, and then they will be invincible.

Carl has always been his own wingman, and he has a lot of experience and will never be in love with the fight.

Thinking of this, Novotney had to press the radio call switch and shout a few words forward, don't fight. If the situation is not good, then come back quickly. Anyway, he has driven the other party away, and he has completed the task.

Just as I was about to shout, I heard a snap. Then, the light above my head went out, the radio station in front of me stopped lighting up, and the sounds of various machinery and equipment outside disappeared.

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

"There is a power outage." A soldier shouted loudly: "Our entire base has power outage."

In fact, ordinary field bases are self-equipped with generators. However, since Greenland is cold and uses a lot of electricity, the base has ready-made transmission lines that connect to the outside world, which are arranged by Americans, of course, they directly use external lines.

Generally, you can burn fireplaces in cold places, but they are not possible here. They are cold and there is no place to chop firewood. Therefore, heating uses electricity and consumes a lot of electricity.

Now, there is a sudden power outage.

"Start the backup generator right away." Novotney shouted.

Heating electricity can be put aside, check the lines and restore power supply, and it also takes time. Now, they need to start the backup generator immediately, and at least connect the radio, radar, and navigation equipment set up in the base.

At this time, Novotney was already in his mind. Any accidental accident was caused by a reason. It would be unusual for a sudden power outage when his own fighter planes were far away from the base and might encounter a trap.

When the power supply is restored, an order will be issued immediately to allow the two attacking fighter jets to return!

There must be a conspiracy here.

Without Novotney's orders, the two ground crew members had already rushed to the side of the power truck, they were well-trained.

This is a Ford truck chassis remodeled generator. In the rear compartment is a diesel engine produced by Mercedes-Benz, which is enough to meet the emergency power needs.

The ground crew got on the generator and twisted the diesel engine start switch behind.

The start switch is divided into two gears. The first gear is preheating. In such cold weather, it is impossible to start without preheating.

The preheating plug starts to heat the cylinder. After three minutes, the preheating indicator light turns off. Then, the ground crew twists the start switch towards the second gear.

"Buzz, buzz." The starter made a sound, but even if you couldn't hear the sound of the diesel engine starting, you couldn't see black smoke coming out of the exhaust pipe.

"Not good!" a ground crew member shouted: "Diesel is frozen!"

It was cold here. Although they had used the lowest-grade diesel, wrapped all the oil circuits, and conducted routine startup inspections every day, they still lost the chain at this critical moment.

"Quick, cook the fire!" shouted the ground crew member.

Germany has accumulated a lot of experience in operating in cold areas. In Finland, Germany specially sent personnel to operate on the spot, so that if the war in the Soviet Union was too long and delayed until winter, it could continue to fight and make full preparations.

The Soviet Union was not used, but in Iceland and Greenland, it could be used.

A ground crew member took out the rotten cloth head, poured some oil on it, and then lit it, and baked it along the pipe.

The grilling engine is very particular. The grilling path is to quickly bake the oil. You cannot bake the oil pipes because of overheating. The diesel filter and the oil tank all need to be baked repeatedly and quickly.

After baking for three minutes, the ground crew said, "It's okay now, let's reignite the fire!"

So, the ground crewman who operated the start knob continued to twist the knob, hoping to hear the familiar high-pressure oil pump injected fuel, and hope to see the black smoke coming out of the exhaust pipe.

"Buzz, buzz." The starter is idling, but the engine still cannot start?

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

The diesel in the fuel tank turned into ice cubes, which is awful!
Chapter completed!
