Chapter 1785: Ted returns

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

But now, almost all the diesel in the fuel tank has turned into ice. This is beyond the cognitive ability of the ground crew. It seems that our diesel is not so bad?

This should not be a normal phenomenon, so it means that it may be man-made. In the base, not only your own personnel, but also some indigenous people recruited from the local area are responsible for the infrastructure tasks. Is there a problem among them?

After receiving the news that the generator was temporarily unable to start, Nowotny knew that this was definitely not an ordinary situation.

"First Squadron, take off with me." Nowotny shouted: "Let's go for reinforcements."

Now, the situation is very clear. The Americans lured their two planes away, and then cut off the connection with the front through the shameless means of powering off the base. This also means that the two planes that just took off may have been There is no good luck.

This couldn't help but make Novotny anxious, he hurriedly carried his flying cap, ran outside, and climbed onto his fighter plane.

Americans who want to play tricks must let them know the consequences of playing tricks! Now, Nowotny started his own aircraft engine, and then quickly rolled on the runway and took off.

Behind him, storm birds took off and flew in the direction where their plane had just left.

………

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

Ted and his own long-term opportunities have been separated, one to the east and the other to the west. Ted is now working hard to obtain the first result of his life.

Just as he thought, the opponent is taking advantage of altitude. When his plane dives down, the speed is very fast. As long as it misses a hit, it must be pulled up again.

In this way, Ted had already attacked three times, but the pilots of the opponent were very skilled and could always avoid Ted's attack at critical times. After several times, Ted could not hit at all.

At this time, Ted knew that the situation was not good.

The opponent is prepared, and the opponent is a dual aircraft. When you attack one of the aircraft, the other aircraft will observe from a distance. When you are about to fire the gun, you will remind you to avoid it. Both of them cooperate. The tacit understanding prevents oneself from attacking effectively.

At the same time, now that the other party is circled on the sea, he no longer knows where to fly.

"Gummy calls the lead plane, Gummy calls the lead plane." After climbing up again, Ted shouted on the radio. He wanted to ask for instructions to withdraw from the battle. Look at his fuel gauge. There is only half left. The tank of fuel must be returned in time.

However, there was a sound of prickling electric current in the headset, but there was no response from the lead plane.

what happened?

In a short period of time, I have separated from the lead plane, and then the distance is too far, causing radio communication to be interrupted? Or is it for some other reason?

In the Arctic region, some high-energy particles often pass through the atmosphere and form beautiful aurora over the North Pole. At the same time, these high-energy particles will also bring some interference, so sometimes the radio will be interrupted.

Well, you can't delay any longer. Once you don't have enough fuel, you will be in big trouble.

After calling again, but there was no response, Ted decided to set up his own plane and return home. He turned in the air, preparing to aim at the direction of his base.

Wait, what's the matter?

My radio compass does not coincide with the direction indicated by the magnetic compass?

A magnetic compass is a device that uses the earth's magnetic field for navigation. Simply put, it is a north arrow. You can calculate the other directions in the above standard.

The radio compass is a radio navigation device. The on-board radio compass receives the electromagnetic waves emitted from the ground homing station. It uses a loop antenna to manually or automatically track the direction of the electromagnetic waves, and continuously measures the angle between the longitudinal axis of the aircraft and the direction of the electromagnetic waves. The azimuth angle, the relative azimuth angle is measured in a clockwise direction and indicated by an indicator. The pilot guides the aircraft to fly forward or backward to the homing station according to the relative azimuth.

Since it flew to the sea, and after some air battles, it is not easy to know exactly where you are and then determine your heading. Therefore, it is necessary to rely on various navigation methods.

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

So, in which direction should you fly?

"Gummy call base~www.novelhall.com~Gummy call base." Ted shouted over the radio.

There was no response to the call leader, nor did the call to the base. There was a prickling sound in the headset, so Ted decided to adjust his radio **** to switch to another frequency band and use the spare frequency band.

As he was spinning, he suddenly turned to a civilian radio station. He paused briefly and heard the broadcast inside: "The frequent sunspot activity will have a great impact on our planet, causing us Interference with radio in China will also affect our Earth’s magnetic field and affect our production and life. Especially the impact on the Antarctic and North Pole is the most serious. Due to the rotation of the Earth, there are the most high-energy particles at the position of the Earth’s axis."

"Professor Torrizelli, as an astronomer, you are the most knowledgeable. Tell everyone why sunspots suddenly erupt?"

"Okay, let me introduce to everyone..."

Sunspots, the earth's magnetic field is affected, um, it turned out to be so.

In this case, the magnetic compass may have been inaccurate, just follow the radio compass to fly, at least the base radio navigation equipment will not deceive yourself.

In order to save fuel, Ted flew to an altitude of 15,000 meters. The higher the altitude, the thinner the air and the lower the resistance. The more fuel-efficient the aircraft, especially for jet aircraft, the increased altitude can significantly increase the range.

After aligning the course, Ted began to return.

At this time, Ted didn't know that all the equipment was temporarily unavailable due to the sudden power failure of his base, and the radio navigation signal was faked by the Americans.

As he flew, his deviation increased. When he saw an island from a distance, it was not Greenland, but Baffin Island in Canada.
