Chapter 1786 Sudden Power Failure

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

They don't know that on the hillside behind them, there have always been people watching them, and now, these people are not only watching them, but also actually taking action.

"The time is up, let's act." A man dressed in animal skins who looked like a real Inuit said. Under the hat, there was a Caucasian face.

"Okay." A few people behind them said, and started to do it. They raised a long wooden stick, and at the end of the stick, a dead seabird was hanging.

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

Suddenly, a spark appeared on the power line. The spark was extremely brilliant, and it splashed everywhere. The dead seabird twitched all over, and quickly turned black, and black smoke came out.

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

success!

Several people holding sticks quickly retracted the sticks. At this time, each of them's hearts were shaking. That was several thousand volts!

Although the people who planned this incident swore to ensure that the insulation measures were appropriate, they would not be in any danger, but, after all, they were doing it themselves, and they were quite afraid that the current would run down the wooden stick and burn them all, and now It appears, as expected.

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

Yes, it is like that.

inside the base.

The radar was still turning, and Nowotny listened to the call in the radio and knew that the target aircraft had become four. Suddenly, Nowotny had an ominous foreboding.

Could it be a fishing operation?

The Americans deliberately set up traps and waited until their own planes flew over, and a large group of fighter planes came out to greet them.

However, even if the Americans want to attack and fight in groups, I am afraid they will fail, right? If nothing else, at least if your own fighter jets are found to be traps, they will be invincible as long as they climb up to a height of 14,000.

Carl has always been his own wingman, and he is quite experienced, and he will never go to war.

Thinking of this, Nowotny will press the radio switch and shout a few words to the front, don't fight, if the situation is not good, then come back quickly, anyway, the other party has been expelled, even if the task is completed.

Just as he was about to shout, he heard a pop. Then, the light above his head went out, the radio in front of him did not turn on, and the sounds of various machines and equipment outside disappeared.

"What's the matter?" Nowotny shouted loudly as he pushed open the door and the cold wind swooped in.

"Power outage," shouted a soldier. "Our entire base is out of power."

In fact, the general field bases are equipped with their own generators. However, because Greenland is relatively cold, the electricity consumption is relatively large, and it happens that the base has ready-made power lines connected to the outside world, which were arranged by the Americans. Of course, the direct use of the external line.

Generally, in a cold place, you can burn a fireplace, but not here, because the weather is cold and freezing everywhere, and there is nowhere to cut wood. Therefore, electricity is used for heating, and the power consumption is quite large.

Now, there is a sudden power outage.

"Start the backup generator now." Nowotny shouted.

Heating electricity can be put aside. It will take time to check the wiring and restore the power supply. Now, they need to start the backup generator immediately, at least turn on the radio, radar, and the navigation equipment set up in the base.

At this time, Novotny was already thinking about it. Any accident has a reason. When his fighter planes are far away from the base to fight, and they may encounter traps, there is a sudden power outage, then unusual.

When the power supply is restored, immediately issue an order to return the two attacking fighters!

There must be a conspiracy here.

Without Nowotny's order, the two ground crews have hurried to the side of the power cart, they are well-trained.

This is a power generation car modified from a Ford truck chassis. In the back compartment is a diesel engine produced by Mercedes-Benz to drive a 200-kilowatt generator, which is enough to meet emergency power needs.

The ground crew got on the generator car and turned the diesel engine start switch at the back.

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 began to heat the cylinder, and after three minutes, the preheat indicator turned off, and then the ground crew turned the start switch toward the second gear.

"Buzz, hum." The starter made a loud noise, but I couldn't hear the sound of the diesel engine starting, nor could I see black smoke coming from the exhaust pipe.

"Not good!" a ground crew shouted: "The diesel is frozen!"

It is freezing cold here, although they have used the lowest grade diesel, although all the oil circuits have been packaged, and although a routine start-up inspection is carried out every day, the chain is still lost at this critical time.

"Quick, fire up!" the ground crew shouted.

Germany has accumulated a lot of experience in operations in cold regions. At the beginning in Finland, Germany specially sent personnel to operate on the ground, so that if the war in the Soviet Union was too long and dragged into winter, it could continue to fight. Go down and get ready.

The Soviet Union did not use it, but in Iceland, in Greenland, it can be used.

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

Roasting the engine is very particular, roasting the oil path, and quickly roasting along the way, and the oil pipe cannot be roasted due to overheating. The diesel filter and the fuel tank need to be roasted repeatedly and quickly.

After three minutes of baking, the ground crew said, "It's all right now, let's re-ignite it!"

So, the ground crew who operated the starter knob continued to turn the knob, hoping to hear the familiar sound of the high-pressure fuel pump spraying fuel, and 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. When he violated the regulations and directly put the torch over to light it, he saw that a big ice lump had formed inside!

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