When the helicopter Yang Jing and the others landed in the open space of Alet Camp, more than a dozen people were surrounded. When Captain Andrei Mirakinov, who was sitting in the helicopter's co-pilot position, got off the helicopter, a white old man with white hair and seemed to be in his seventies immediately came up with a smile.

"Wow, wow, it's really my dear little Andre! During the radio communication today, I thought you were joking. Andre, welcome to Alert Camp again!" The old man gave Andre a warm hug, but the scene of the withered and thin old man hugging with Andre, who was tall and tall, really made people laugh.

Andre also laughed and said, "Kyle, I'm really happy to see you again. How long have you been here? I remember the last time I met you was two years ago. You didn't stay here for two years, right?"

The old man raised his eyebrows playfully and smiled, "Why not? How great is this place? There is no damn pollution and no intrigue. I like this place, and I really like this place."

"Well, Kyle, you won again this time. I know that you can't win you by betting with you, so I've brought you a lot of good things, just take it as this bet."

The old man smiled and said, "I had already contacted Max by radio before you landed, and he told me that you did bring us a lot of real good things. Thank you, Andre, for thinking about us who have been forgotten by the world."

Andre smiled and said, "Kyle, don't thank me if you want to thank me. Actually, the owner of these supplies is not me. I was just hired this time. Come, let me introduce to you the real boss who supports our trip to the Arctic. Kyle, this is Albert Yang from China, the beautiful lady beside him, Yang's fiancée, Sophia Bai. Kyle, they are real and generous bosses. The things I brought here today are all the supplies purchased by these two generous bosses. You know, with the pitiful salary in my pocket, I can't buy that kind of Australian and beef that costs more than 500 US dollars a pound. So, Kyle, you should thank them."

Kyle immediately turned his head and walked towards Yang Jing, walked up to him, ignoring 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 Alet."

The old man's enthusiasm made Yang Jing feel a little uncomfortable, but when he turned around, he thought that the old man might have been here for more than two years. This persistence alone has been enough to make anyone respect him.

"Hey, Kyle, it's so great to know you. I'm Albert. Young, just call me Albert. Your persistence and persistence are enough to make you respect the whole world. Kyle, this is my fiancée Sophia."

The princess stood aside with a smile and shook hands with Kyle, "Sir, you are such a respectable person. I just heard the conversation between you and Andre. I really admire you."

"Wow, from the compliment of such a beautiful lady, I feel like I'm twenty years younger. Sophia, welcome to Alet."

After saying hello to Yang Jing and Princess, Kyle began to say hello to others. Andre came up and whispered: "Kyle is a real scholar. If I remember correctly, he should be seventy-three years old this year. He was originally a senior professor at Victoria University. After retirement, he didn't know what to do, so he came to Alert and kept doing research here. Sometimes he stayed here for a year or two, just like this time, he should have stayed here for more than two years."

When Yang Jing and Princess heard Andre say this, he was also in awe. Victoria University is one of the best universities in Canada. It is definitely not easy for those who serve as senior professors in that kind of school. Even if they are rehired after retirement, their annual salary will definitely not be less than 300,000 Canadian dollars.

But this old man actually gave up such a high salary and came to this almost the most desolate place in the world for research. This spirit is really worthy of respect.

"The first time Kyle and I met was seven years ago. At that time, I was the commander of the Blue Whale. That summer, the Blue Whale came to the Arctic to perform a scientific expedition mission. Here I met Old Kyle for the first time. In the following years, I met Old Kyle twice here. The last time I met was two years ago. Oh, by the way, Kyle's name is Kyle Pedro."

The princess said in an admirable tone: "This old man is so amazing! He is in his seventies and can still stay in such a place for so long to do research. He is really a real scholar."

Taking advantage of the greetings of everyone, Andrei introduced Yang Jing and Princess to this northernmost settlement to mankind.

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

Yang Jing and Princess looked in the direction Andrei pointed and saw that there were some buildings about five hundred meters away from the camp.

"Yes, it is the military base, and it is the oldest building in the entire Al-Special settlement. Now there are some Canadian soldiers on duty there. They are stationed for six months each time and then they can get three weeks of rest. Look, have you seen that lieutenant? He should be the highest commander of that military base. Now that military base is probably at most a dozen people take turns to be on duty."

Andre retracted his gaze and pointed to the camp and continued: "This camp is the specific settlement of Aller that was developed later. 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 all civil facilities. As for the northernmost Alert Airport, it is also a part of this camp."

Yang Jing shook his head slightly and said, "Why do you need to set up such a settlement in such a north? It's too difficult here."

Andrei smiled and said, "This is not something we can control. There are many places that are actually created by those who play politics. For example, the Tule Air Force Base that Brian mentioned that day, and here."

After hearing this, Yang Jing and the princess shook their heads slightly and said nothing. Some things cannot be changed by expressing their opinions.

"In fact, Alette was much more lively than it is now. It is said that during the Cold War in the last century, the population living here reached 200. They were called the "Frozen Choosen". These people worked for the military signal intelligence radio receiving station and these two meteorological monitoring stations. During the fierce stage of the Cold War in the last century, Alette's military intelligence station was ordered to eavesdrop on the Soviet Union. In fact, compared with Ottawa, Canada, the distance from remote Alette to Moscow is shorter and has more strategic advantages."

"It's a pity that after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Cold War pattern completely disappeared, and fewer and fewer people stationed here. Twelve years ago, there were five long-term settlers here. Until now, there are no real long-term settlers here. People here, including Old Kyle, can only be regarded as short-term settlers."

Yang Jing and Princess shook their heads slightly again.

Yang Jing looked around this small square and found that around the small square were colorful signs. One of the largest signs was built with iron racks. The top was white and blue on the top, and the middle was five English letters "ALERT" written in black font, which was exactly the name of Alert. In the upper right corner of the sign, there was also directional indication. Below the sign, there was a line of smaller black English - WORLDS-MOST-NORTHERN-STATION, which was translated into Chinese as "the world's northernmost station".

Next to this sign, there are dense wooden signs. If the largest Alert sign is a mother, these signs are like children snuggling to the mother. Most of these signs are handmade signs, with the words "How many miles to XXX place" written on them.

Seeing Yang Jing paying attention to these brands, Andre said: "These brands 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. After they come here, they often make signs in the city where their hometowns are located and then nail them here to show that they have been here."

When Yang Jing looked roughly, he found that there were at least ten large woods erected here, and there were no less than ten handmade wooden signs nailed to each of them. For example, there was a sign that read it very clearly, Oslo, 1983. It means that Oslo, the capital of Norway, is still 1,983 miles away from here. If it is converted into kilometers, it is almost 3,192 kilometers.

In addition, there are some names of cities such as Reykjavik, Seattle, San Francisco, Buenos Aires, and Yang Jing even saw the Melbourne brand, which is 14,942 kilometers away from here...

The princess also saw these wooden signs and said with a smile: "These foreigners are really good at playing."

At this time, the people who had just gone to the beach to welcome the two assault boats also came back. There were vehicles in the camp, and these people were all riding by vehicles. Although the shore was about ten kilometers away from the camp, they still rushed back very quickly.

Every time a boat is anchored, and then the people on the boat come to the camp, it is a day that is no less than Christmas for the residents of Alet. This place is too boring, so whenever someone comes to visit, they attach great importance to it.
