Chapter 430 These foreigners really know how to play!
When the helicopter that Yang Jing and the others took landed in the open space of Camp Alert, there were already more than ten people around.And when Captain Andrei Milakinov, who was sitting in the co-pilot position of the helicopter, got off the helicopter, a white-haired old white man who looked to be in his seventies immediately laughed. Haha greeted him.
"Wow, wow, it's really my dear little Andre! During the radio communication today, I thought you were joking. Andre, welcome to Camp Alert again!" The old man gave someone high Andre from Martha gave a warm hug, and the scene where the dry and thin old man hugged the tall Andre really made people laugh.
Andre also said with a smile: "Kyle, I'm really glad to see you again. How long have you been here? I remember the last time I saw you was two years ago, you won't be here anymore Is it two years?"
The old man raised his eyebrows playfully and said with a smile: "Why not? How nice is this place? There is no damn pollution, no intrigue, I like it here, I really like it here."
"Okay, Kyle, you won again this time. I know I can't beat you in a bet with you, so I have brought you a lot of good things, and I will treat it as a bet this time."
The old man smiled and said: "Before you landed, I had already contacted Max by radio, and he told me that you did bring us a lot of really good things. Thank you, Andre, for still thinking of us Forgotten by the world."
Andre smiled and said: "Kyle, if you want to thank me, don't thank me. In fact, the owner of these materials is not me. I am just hired this time. Come, let me introduce you to support us this time. The real boss of the trip to the North Pole. Kyle, this is Albert Yang from China, and the beautiful lady beside him is Yang's fiancée, Sophia Bai. Kyle, they are real and bold Boss. The things I brought here today are the supplies purchased by these two generous bosses. You know, with my poor salary in my pocket, I can’t buy the kind of Australian and Beef. So, Kyle, you should thank them."
Kyle immediately turned his head towards Yang Jing and walked over to him, ignoring Yang Jing's outstretched right hand, but gave Yang Jing a warm hug, "Young man, thank you for your generosity, your generosity has won the old man Kudos to Kyle. Welcome to Alert."
The old man's enthusiasm made Yang Jing feel a little uncomfortable, but when he looked back, the old man had probably been here for more than two years, and this persistence alone was enough to make anyone respect him.
"Hey, Kyle, it's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Albert Young. You can call me Albert. Your dedication and perseverance are enough to earn you the respect of the world. Kyle, this is mine. Fiancee Sophia."
Ge Ge stood aside with a smile and shook hands with Kyle, "Sir, you are really a respectable person. I just heard the conversation between you and Andre, and I really admire you."
"Whoa, a compliment from such a beautiful lady makes old Kyle look 20 years younger. Welcome to Alert, Sophia."
After greeting Yang Jing and Gege, Kyle started to greet other people, and Andre came up and whispered: "Kyle is a real scholar, if I remember correctly, he should He is 73 years old. He was originally a senior professor at the University of Victoria. After retiring, he didn’t know what to do, so he came to Alert and has been doing research here. Sometimes he stays here for a while. Two years, like this time, he should have stayed here for more than two years."
Hearing what Andre said, Yang Jing and Gege were also in awe.Victoria University is one of the top institutions of higher learning in Canada. It is definitely not easy for a senior professor in that kind of school.Even if you return to employment after retirement, your annual salary will never be less than 30 Canadian dollars.
But this old man gave up such a high salary to do research in this almost the most desolate place in the world. This kind of spirit is really worthy of respect.
"I met Kyle for the first time seven years ago, when I was the chief engineer on the Blue Whale. That summer, the Blue Whale came to the North Pole to perform a scientific research mission. Here I met for the first time. Old Kyle. In the following years, I met old Kyle here twice. The last time we met was in the summer two years ago. Oh, by the way, Kyle’s name is Kyle Pedro .”
Ge Ge said in an admiring tone: "This old man is amazing! He is over 70 years old, but he can still stick to this kind of place for such a long time to do research. He is really a real scholar."
Taking advantage of everyone's pleasantries, Andre introduced the northernmost human settlement to Yang Jing and Gege.
"Alert is actually not a settlement in the strict sense, but a military base. It was developed as a military base at the earliest time. Now this settlement still has a radio wave receiving station for military intelligence. Here, That's the area over there."
Yang Jing and Gege looked in the direction Andre pointed, and saw some buildings about 500 meters away from the camp.
"That's right, that's the military base, and it's also the oldest building in the entire Alt settlement. Now there are some Canadian Army soldiers on duty there. They stay there for six months at a time, and then they can get three Week rest time. Here, did you see that second lieutenant? He should be the highest officer of that military base. It is estimated that the military base is currently guarded by more than a dozen people in turn."
Andre looked away, then pointed to the camp and continued: "This camp is the Alter Settlement that developed later. Now there is a weather station established by the Canadian Environment Agency and a global atmospheric observation network. These are all civilian facilities. As for the northernmost Alert Airport, it is also part of this camp.”
Yang Jing shook his head slightly and said, "Why do you want to set up such a settlement in such a northern location? It's too difficult here."
Andre said with a smile: "This is beyond our control. There are many places that are actually created by those who play politics. For example, the Thule Air Force Base that Brian mentioned that day, and here .”
After hearing this, Yang Jing and Ge Ge shook their heads slightly, but did not say anything.Some things cannot be changed by expressing their opinions.
"Actually, Alert used to be much more lively than it is now. It is said that during the Cold War in the last century, the maximum number of people living here reached 200. They were called 'The Frozen Chosen' (chosen frozen people). These people Both work for the military signal intelligence radio receiving station and these two weather monitoring stations. During the height of the Cold War in the last century, Alert's military intelligence station was ordered to eavesdrop on the Soviet Union. In fact, compared to Canada's Ottawa , the distance from Remote Alert to Moscow is shorter and more strategically advantageous.”
"It's a pity that after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the Cold War situation completely disappeared, and fewer and fewer people were stationed here. Twelve years ago, there were five long-term settlers here. Now, there are no real long-term settlers here. Otherwise, the people here, including Old Kyle, can only be regarded as short-term settlers."
Yang Jing and Gege shook their heads slightly again.
Yang Jing looked around this small square, and found that the surrounding area of this small square was full of colorful signs.One of the largest signs was built with an iron frame. The top of the sign was white and the bottom was blue, and in the middle was the five English letters "ALERT" written in black letters, which was the name of Alert.In the upper right corner of the sign, there are direction instructions, and below the sign, there is a line of smaller black English words - WORLDS-MOST-NORTHERN-STATION, which translates into Chinese as "the northernmost station in the world".
Next to this sign, there are densely packed wooden signs. If the largest sign of Alert is the mother, these wooden signs are like children snuggling beside the mother.Most of these wooden signs are handmade signs, and most of them have the words "how many miles to XXX place".
Seeing Yang Jing pay attention to these signs, Andre said: "These signs are made by those who come to Alert to take risks. This is the northernmost human settlement in the world, and many people come here to take risks every year Yes. After they come here, they often make a sign of the city where their hometown is located, and then pin it here to show that they have been here before.”
Yang Jing took a rough look and found that there were at least a dozen large logs erected here, and no less than ten handmade wooden signs of this kind were nailed to each of them. For example, there was a sign that clearly stated, Oslo, 1983.This means that Oslo, the capital of Norway, is still 1983 miles away, which is almost 3192 kilometers in kilometers.
In addition, what are the names of cities such as Reykjavik, Seattle, San Francisco, and Buenos Aires? Yang Jing even saw the sign of Melbourne, which is 14942 kilometers away.
Gege also saw these wooden signs and said with a smile: "These foreigners really know how to play."
At this time, the people who went to the beach to meet the two assault boats also came back.There were vehicles in the camp, and these people went there in vehicles. Although the shore was about ten kilometers away from the camp, they rushed back quickly.
Every time a ship drops anchor and the people on board come to camp, it is a day no less than Christmas for these residents of Alert.It's too boring here, so whenever someone comes to visit, they take it very seriously.
The same is true this time.
