March 1.

Wang Hua was packing up Xu Zhi's clothes in the room, and kept nagging:

"When you go to the United States, you have to pay attention to safety, there are often incidents of guns hurting people there.

Beware of thieves, I know you don't care about money, but if you lose your passport and visa, it's troublesome,

And ......"

"Okay, okay, I know!" Xu Zhi couldn't help but have a headache: "You don't just watch a little news and think that you know about other countries, those are just some major events!"

Wang Hua said: "Nonsense, I read the news that there have been incidents of guns and wounding people in the United States in the past month or two, and this is not chaotic!"

Xu Zhi shook his head and explained: "First of all: the United States is a very large country with a very large number of people, so anything with a very low probability will become frequent once multiplied by the base.

Second, incidents involving firearms are generally very influential and tend to attract international media attention, which is why you often see them on the news.

In terms of probability, the probability of encountering this kind of thing is much smaller than that of a car accident. ”

Wang Hua couldn't argue, so he said: "Anyway, you have to be careful, it's best not to go to those messy places." ”

Xu Zhi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Okay, when I go to Los Angeles this time, I basically stay in the center of the metropolis, there will be no big problems, if something happens to you, don't you worry about the plane?"

Wang Hua: "Little rabbit, you know how to scare your mother......"

......

Kai Tak Airport was built in 1925 on the Kowloon Peninsula, and at that time, the place where the airport was located was a wild land, and in addition to some wharves and factories, Kowloon, China, was scattered with some future super tycoons - aborigines.

There was no problem with the location of Kai Tak Airport, but the development of Heung Kong exceeded all expectations, throughout the 50s and 70s, Heung Kong was the only place in Southeast Asia where Chinese people could live safely, and a lot of capital and population began to explode, so the location of Kai Tak Airport also became densely populated.

In the 70s, Kai Tak Airport was a small doll compared to some international airports around the world, but it was repeatedly voted one of the top 10 most dangerous airports in the world.

Because it is too close to residential areas, and the runway is reclaimed from the sea, for large aircraft, the length margin is not much, so every landing is a great challenge for pilots.

But the miraculous thing is that perhaps because of nervous tension, compared to other levels of airports, there are not many accidents in Kai Tak, and there have been no super air crashes.

Xu Zhi and a group of four people, in addition to Lin Siqi and A Bin, He Guoyuan also sent a staff in charge of the United States business, after going to the United States, he will take Xu Zhi to visit the general distributor of the crane machine in the United States.

In Xiangjiang, everywhere is crowded with people, and the airport is on a higher level, full of people, one does not pay attention, and is squeezed and lost.

After finding the waiting room, after waiting for more than an hour, the radio finally sounded: Letty was confused, the plane to Los Angeles had arrived, and passengers were invited to ......

"Finally set off!" Xu Zhi stretched, he had been at the airport for nearly 2 hours, and he was not accompanied by a mobile phone, this kind of boring people in this era don't understand!

The first people to get on the plane were Xu Zhi and others, because they bought first-class cabins, capitalist society, money is king, you can buy a moment in the morning, you can also buy more space on the seat.

Los Angeles is more than 10,000 kilometers away from Xiangjiang, and in this era, the only aircraft that can meet the requirements of such long-distance flights is the Boeing 747.

Later generations of air giants, such as the Airbus 380 and Boeing 777, 787, etc., do not even have a shadow now.

Anyone who has seen the pictures knows that the interior space of 747 has two floors, of which the upper floor is smaller, and most airlines will set this floor as first class.

Passing through the narrow aisles and the stairs of business class, everyone arrived in the luxurious first class.

There is enough space in the cabin, and there are not many people, and after placing the luggage, the airline's aunt flight attendant immediately instructed everyone to fasten their seat belts and danced a "safety dance" in front of everyone's seats.

Lin Siqi said: "I thought the flight attendants were all beautiful little girls, but I didn't expect that American airlines would hire such flight attendants, it's really strange." ”

Xu Zhi said with a smile: "Airplanes are very common in the United States, many people go to a city next door will take a plane, which has become an ordinary means of transportation, and the conditions for taking a plane here in Asia are generally good, the market customers are different, and the service they choose is different." ”

Lin Siqi nodded and said, "I see." ”

Ah Bin still had an indifferent expression, although he was born as a soldier and had experienced all kinds of dangers, after all, it was the first time he got on the plane, and he still seemed a little uncomfortable.

As the clock ticked by, after everyone had finished boarding, the plane began to slowly leave the boarding area, as there was only one long runway in the entire Kai Tak Airport, and after another hour of waiting, the plane finally entered the main field and was ready to take off.

A gentle push on the back slowly came from the chair behind him, and soon, it turned into a slight sense of weightlessness, and after about 7 minutes, the rows of lights on both sides of the plane cabin turned from red to green, and the cabin suddenly became lively, all kinds of slight talking sounds, and the sound of unfastening the seat belt slowly came.

Xu Zhiye stood up in his chair and relaxed his body, he had only been on a plane once or twice in his previous life, and he was still a little nervous.

From the window, the plane has entered the sky above the ocean, the plane is different from the car and train, the scenery by the window is basically the same, the only difference may be the few minutes of take-off and landing.

Xu Zhi took a few newspapers and books from the bookcase in the front row, returned to his seat, put down the boss's chair and lay down, boringly flipping through the books.

After all, it is an American airline, most of the books are in English, Xu Zhi's English communication is no problem, but only proficient in spoken language, look at newspapers and novels that are really a first two big, do not say any English level, give a Chinese a translated foreign language novel, you can remember a few names in it for a few days? Even if it is a small news in the newspaper, many times you have to go back to see who it is when you see a name.

In the era when there was no mobile phone, no iPad, no LCD TV in the front seat, and even a Walkman had not yet appeared, and he couldn't read the newspaper, Xu Zhi could only fall asleep half yawning and half sleepy.

"Sir, we're about to descend, please fasten your seatbelts?"

"We've arrived?" Xu Zhi woke up and asked in surprise, this sleep is too long, right!

The flight attendant shook her head: "No, we have to land and refuel at RB Tokyo, and it will take more than an hour before we can take off again." ”

Xu Zhi took a sip of Sprite, which was still 4 years away from 82 years, and fastened his seat belt, he seemed to have made a mistake, he didn't wear a seat belt when he slept, otherwise, if he accidentally hit an air current, he knew where he could fall.

Soon, the plane landed smoothly at the Tokyo airport.
