When Yang Jing's helicopter landed on the open space of the alete camp, more than a dozen people were surrounded. When Captain Andre milakinov, who was sitting in the co pilot position of the helicopter, got off the helicopter, an old white man with white hair and looks like he was in his seventies, immediately greeted him with a smile.

"Wow, wow, it's really my dear little Andre! I thought you were joking during the radio communication today. Andre, welcome to arlet camp again!" the old man gave the tall Andre a warm hug. As a result, the dry and thin old man hugged the tall Andre, It really makes people laugh.

Andre smiled and said, "Kyle, it's really nice to see you again. How long have you been here? I remember the last time I saw you was two years ago. Won't you stay here for two years?"

The old man raised his eyebrows playfully and said with a smile, "why not? How good it is here? There is no damn pollution and no intrigue. I like it here. I really like it here."

"Well, Kyle, you won again this time. I know I can't beat you on a bet with you, so I've brought you a lot of good things. I'll take it as a bet this time."

The old man smiled and said, "before you landed, I contacted Max by radio. He told me that you did bring us a lot of real good things. Thank you, Andre, and think of us forgotten by the world."

Andre smiled and said: "Kyle, if you want to thank me, don't thank me. In fact, I'm not the owner of these materials. I'm just hired this time. Let me introduce you to the real boss who supports our Arctic trip. Kyle, this is Albert Yang from China. The beautiful lady beside him is Yang's fiancee, Sophia Bai. Kyle, they are real and proud Cool boss. These things I brought today were purchased by these two generous bosses. You know, with the poor salary in my pocket, I can't buy more than 500 dollars a pound of Australian and beef. So, Kyle, you should thank them. "

Kyle immediately turned around and walked towards Yang Jing. He ignored Yang Jing's right hand, but gave Yang Jing a warm hug. "Young man, thank you for your generosity. Your generosity has won the respect of old Kyle. Welcome to arlet."

The old man's enthusiasm made Yang Jing feel a little uncomfortable, but looking back, it was possible that the old man had been here for more than two years. This persistence alone was enough to be respected by anyone.

"Hey, Kyle, nice to meet you. I'm Albert young. Just call me Albert. Your persistence and persistence are enough to make you respected all over the world. Kyle, this is my fiancee Sophia."

Greg smiled and shook hands with Kyle. "Sir, you are really a respected person. I just heard your conversation with Andre. I really admire you."

"Wow, the praise from such a beautiful lady makes me feel like old Kyle is 20 years younger. Sofia, welcome to arlet."

After greeting Yang Jing and Ge Ge Ge, Kyle began to greet others. Andre came up and whispered: "Kyle is a real scholar. If I remember correctly, he should be 73 years old this year. He was originally a senior professor at the University of Victoria. After retirement, he didn't know how to do it. He came to arlet and has been doing research here. Sometimes he stayed here for a year or two. It's like this time, he should come again from here For more than two years. "

Yang Jing and Ge Ge Ge are also awed to hear Andre say so. Victoria University is one of the top universities in Canada. It is definitely not easy for people to work as senior professors in that kind of University. Even if they are re employed after retirement, their salary will never be less than $300000 a year.

But the old man gave up such a high salary to do research in the most desolate place in the world. This spirit is really worthy of respect.

"The first time Kyle and I met was seven years ago. At that time, I was the chief engineer of the blue whale. That summer, the blue whale came to the Arctic to carry out a scientific research mission. I met old Kyle for the first time here. Later, in these years, I met old Kyle twice here. The last time I met was in the summer two years ago. Oh, by the way, Kyle's name is Kyle Pedro 。”

Ge Ge said with admiration: "this old man is really powerful! He is in his seventies and can still stick to such a place for so long to do research. He is really a real scholar."

Taking advantage of the greetings, Andre introduces Yang Jing and Ge Ge to the northernmost settlement of mankind.

"In fact, in a strict sense, arlet is not a settlement, but a military base. It was first developed as a military base. Now the settlement still has a radio receiving station for military intelligence. Here is the area over there."

When Yang Jing and Ge Ge Ge looked in the direction Andre pointed out, they saw that there were some buildings about 500 meters away from the camp.

"Yes, that's the military base, and it's also the oldest building in the whole settlement of arlet. Now there are some Canadian Army soldiers on duty there. They stay there for six months at a time, and then they can get a three-week rest. Here, see the second lieutenant? He should be the top officer of the military base. Now the army It is estimated that at most, more than ten people are on duty in turn. "

Andre took back his eyes, then pointed to the camp and continued: "this camp is the later developed settlement of arlet. Now there is a meteorological observatory established by the Canadian Environment Agency and a monitoring point established by the global atmospheric observation network. These are civil facilities. As for the northernmost arlet airport, it is also a part of this camp."

Yang Jing shook her head slightly and said, "why set up such a settlement in such a North position? It's too hard here."

Andre smiled and said, "this is beyond our control. In fact, many places are made by those who play politics. For example, the tulle air force base that Brian said that day and here."

When Yang Jing and Ge Ge Ge listened, they shook their heads slightly without a sound. Some things can't be changed by their opinions.

"In fact, arlet used to be much more lively than it is now. It is said that during the cold war in the last century, the number of people living here reached 200 at most. They are called 'the frozen people' (the selected frozen people) "These people are working for the military signal intelligence radio receiving station and the two weather monitoring stations. In the white hot stage of the cold war in the last century, arlett's military intelligence station was ordered to eavesdrop on the Soviet Union. In fact, compared with Ottawa, Canada, the distance from remote arlett to Moscow is shorter and has more strategic advantages."

"Unfortunately, after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the cold war pattern 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, and the people here, including old Kyle, can only be regarded as short-term settlers."

Yang Jing and Ge Ge shook their heads again.

Yang Jing looked around the small square and found that colorful signs were inserted around the small square. One of the largest signs is made of iron frame. The top of the sign is white and the bottom is blue. In the middle, it is written with five English letters "alert" in black font, which is the name of arlett. In the upper right corner of the sign, there is a direction indication. Under the sign, there is a smaller line of Black English - works-most-northern-station, which translates into Chinese as "the northernmost station in the world".

Next to this sign, there are numerous wooden signboards. If the largest alete sign is the mother, these wooden signboards are like children snuggling up to their mother. Most of these wooden signboards are handmade signboards with the words "how many miles to XXX".

Seeing Yang Jing pay attention to these signs, Andre said: "These signs are made by those who come to arlet for adventure. This is the northernmost human settlement in the world, and many people come here for adventure every year. After they come here, they often make signs of the city where their hometown is located, and then nail them here to show that they have been here."

When Yang Jing looked at it roughly, he found that there were at least more than ten pieces of big wood standing here, and no less than ten handmade wooden signs were nailed to each piece of wood. For example, there was a sign that clearly said, Oslo, 1983. It means that Oslo, the capital of Norway, is 1983 miles away from here. If converted into kilometers, it is almost 3192 kilometers.

In addition, what are the names of Reykjavik, Seattle, San Francisco, Buenos Aires and other cities? Yang Jing even saw the brand of Melbourne, which is 14942 kilometers away from here

Ge Ge also saw these wooden cards and said with a smile, "these foreigners really can 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. These people passed by in vehicles. Although the shore was about ten kilometers away from the camp, they still came back quickly.

Every time a ship anchors and the people on board come to the camp, it is no less than a Christmas day for these residents in arlet. It is too boring here, so whenever someone comes to visit, they attach great importance to it.

The same is true this time.
