Chapter 1714 Wood Grain

As early as the 1930s, Norway set up meteorological observatories on the remote and harsh islands of Spitsbergen, Jan Mayen and Bear Island.

As Germany swept across Europe, it soon took control of Norway, and Luftwaffe planes from Norway began conducting weather-reconnaissance flights over the Norwegian Sea and the Arctic Ocean.

This task is carried out by the Fifth Meteorological Brigade based in Trondheim. They use He-111 and Ju-88 types, fly at an altitude of 1000 to 3000 meters, and drop to sea level every 1 hour, before returning to sailing. Ascend to 6000 meters, so as to collect meteorological information such as temperature, air pressure, and wind speed at different altitudes.

The acquisition of these meteorological conditions has a very good effect on the weather forecast of the whole Europe, but the meteorological conditions near Greenland are still blank.

Just taking off a weather plane from Iceland and going to Greenland for reconnaissance is just a scratch. Moreover, weather planes are at risk of being intercepted, and it is not easy to collect data all the time.

Meteorologists must be dispatched to Greenland immediately!

In the present period, too many German citizens are loyal to the Reich.

Germany is about to become the master of the world. Every citizen of Germany feels incomparably proud in their hearts just like the Romans before, and they are willing to contribute everything, including their lives, for the empire.

Inside the cabin, cold wind swoops in.

This is a German military glider that, when needed, can carry a Panther 2 main battle tank, and now, the giant glider's box-shaped cargo hold is 11 meters long, 3.15 meters wide and 3.32 meters high. full of various goods.

In the space just in front of the glider, seven Germans were wrapping their coats. The man in the front had a long beard, and at this time, ice slag was already hanging on it.

"We have left the tractor and will arrive at our destination in twenty minutes. From now on, we will be Santa Claus every day." Professor Weiss said. After he opened his mouth, cold wind poured in.

Just after receiving the assignment, Professor Weiss got up from his warm and comfortable apartment in Berlin without hesitation, and came to Berlin Airport with a full set of weather observation equipment and a few of his students.

At the airport, after meeting with the two soldiers who were responsible for protecting them, they boarded this glider, flew for a few hours, and came here.

In the glider, Professor Weiss is the oldest. His body is constantly bumping with the glider. There are four of his students beside him. At this time, although these students are frozen like grandsons, His face was full of excitement.

"I've wanted to do an internship in the field for a long time, and now I finally have the opportunity. After I go back, I will have my graduation thesis," said a student.

"Alice always says that I'm not a man enough. This time I go down and come back from the mission, Alice will definitely treat me differently."

These students, your words and my words, spoke very vigorously, making the cold cabin seem lively.

Looking at these people, Oort's cold eyes gradually brought human feelings.

Two soldiers came along, one was driving the glider in front, and the other was in the cabin. In order to protect them, both of them were from the most elite Griffin special forces, and both had fought in the ice and snow in Finland. Experienced in combat in alpine regions.

"Everyone, check your equipment. When you go down, you must protect your whole body. Wherever it is exposed, it may be frozen." Alter said to them.

This is no joke, Greenland is quite cold, and they are going to the northernmost part of Greenland, where the temperature is always in the minus 20 degrees.

Even if you show your nose and stay there for one night, the nose will definitely be frozen by the next day.

Hearing Alter's words, everyone got serious, put on their hats, covered the masks and scarves in front of them tightly, and then put on goggles.

"Watch out, we're about to land," shouted the glider pilot ahead.

The sturdy body of the giant glider, with a graceful arc, fell from the sky, along the huge ice sheet of Greenland, and continued to glide forward, gliding, and then, a wheel contacted the ice sheet and was bounced up again.

"Mom." A student couldn't help but exclaimed, his face was already pale.

The rest of the people were not feeling well either. Only Oort looked calm. These students are far from being real warriors. However, what the empire needs is their minds, not for them to go to the front lines to fight. .

After the student shouted out, he knew he was embarrassed, so he grabbed the handrail next to him and never spoke again.

The second time it landed, it bounced up, and it was not until the third time that the glider finally landed steadily and continued to glide on the ice sheet for hundreds of meters before stopping.

"Classmates, let's get to work now!" Professor Weiss shouted, "move all our equipment out!"

The reason for the use of giant gliders is that they have a large carrying capacity, and they need various meteorological observation instruments, radios, and several months of supplies.

Meteorological observations must be continuous, which is also the advantage of ground observation stations.

Now, Professor Weiss greeted his students and took out the meteorological instruments in the glider, while on the other side, Alter had already started to set up a tent.

In this icy world, tents are not a good place to sleep, but this is the fastest way.

First set up two tents to be able to camp here, and then, over the next few days, Alter will build an ice house with his companions, like an Eskimo.

The cold wind, like a knife, blew on everyone's body. Even if they were wearing thick leather clothes, they could still feel the chill. Standing on the ice cap, looking at the white scene around them, the students who came here for the first time, Almost cheered.

This is the place where men are tested, and when you go back, you will become a man!

"Hululu." The anemometer was installed in place, the impeller on it was turning rapidly, and a male student took out a pen and recorded it with difficulty.

"Classmates, I now announce that the Wooden Eyes Polar Science Observatory has officially been established!" Professor Weiss said.

The code name of their weather team is called Wooden Eyes. Although they came to Greenland, there are barren fields everywhere, and no one can find them at all.

It can even be said that within a radius of several hundred kilometers, there should be no one else except them.

The tent was set up, and Alter got into the tent and started fiddling with the telegraph.

"DiDi, DiDi." Soon, the telegram sounded.
