Chapter 80: The First Key

In the darkness of the night, the sea was also pitch black. It is difficult to distinguish between the top and bottom, and the Mi-26 helicopter seems to be moving forward in a black hole.

Blindfolded and searched outside, not daring to relax for a moment. He doesn't care about anything else, he worries about the "ghost". In a helicopter, he was at his most vulnerable. Fate was in the hands of other drivers, giving him a sense of powerlessness.

Not only that, but he has a lot of questions to think about. Soon, the "Owls" will launch an attack on the sub-unit joint observer ship. The combat system of that thing only needs to make the pilot ask for it, and the pilot's level and experience are no longer important, and the quality of the fuselage performance accounts for an absolute proportion.

It is impossible to defeat the "devil" now, what is lacking is not ability, but a suitable aircraft.

He wants at least a vertical take-off and landing aircraft, like the "Owl", in order to develop effective countermeasures. But the VTOL aircraft on the shelves are nothing more than the "Harrier", a kind of fat bird that can neither fly at supersonic speed, but also have stupid maneuverability.

The deck lights of the Minsk can already be seen ahead, at least for now, a little breather.

"Where are the aircraft carriers? Are we there? Chloe huddled in the cockpit and looked ahead, she couldn't see anything, as if there was a black cloth in front of the windshield.

"At 11 o'clock on the left, that bright spot is the Minsk." Meng Strike pointed, "Alright, Chloe, go back to your seat and fasten your seatbelt." ”

"Just that highlight?" Chloe poked her neck, it was a firefly. Landing there in the dark of night is incredible, harder than closing your eyes and threading a needle. She was a little nervous, she was surrounded by the vast sea, she wouldn't fall into the sea, the sea here must be very cold. At least I can swim, but I can only swim 200 meters in either direction.

Chloe was in a state of thought, and was struck and pinned to her seat and belted up.

At this time, Meng Zheng also noticed that even the driver's forehead began to sweat.

For pilots, the night landing is really thrilling like a nightmare with a completely clear mind.

The pilot operating the Mi-26 spoke a little tremblingly: "Minsk, uh, the landing command platform." I'm Hindy 703 and I've completed the landing preparations. ”

"Xindi 703, I'm the landing command platform. The deck has been emptied and ready for a qiē. ”

"Landing command platform, Hindy 703 received, is descending."

With that, the co-pilot began to scramble to check the descent and landing procedures, and began to establish the descent course.

Meng Struck stood behind the two men and helped them with the inspection.

It can be seen that the crew landed on an aircraft carrier for the first time. Although the helicopter sounds like it can fly straight up and down, there is no need to worry about whether the take-off and landing site is spacious or not. However, the Mi-26 is different from this level of heavy helicopters, in order to ensure the normal operation of the parts, the heavy helicopter generally does not rise and fall vertically like the light helicopter, if the big guy jumps vertically on the ground, the damage to the fuselage structure and parts is too great. It is closer to a normal fixed-wing aircraft, requiring a glide to accelerate, climb forward, or descend normally. It's like a sparrow can jump up and fly, while a swan needs to run on the surface of the water to take off.

For the two pilots, they needed to land the world's largest helicopter in the dark on a small-deck aircraft carrier, which was already difficult, and the plane was carrying their boss Hinty.

Meng Strike saw that the altimeter showed a drop to an altitude of 1,000 meters, and it was time to continue contacting the aircraft carrier.

"Landing Command Station, Cindy 703, I've started the landing procedure."

"Understood."

The altimeter number is gradually decreasing, and the TACAN navigation station is also showing that the distance between the aircraft and the carrier is rapidly decreasing.

In the dark night sky, the Mi-26 descended along a smooth glide slope and was about to approach the aircraft carrier.

Meng Struck stood behind him, paying attention to the various counts. He said, "It's going down too fast." ”

A Minsk voice was also heard on the radio: "Hinty 703, you are descending too fast in height!" And too far to the right. ”

"Yes, yes, understood. Xinti 703 understood. ”

The driver's panic was palpable.

Meng Bang patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be nervous, we're a helicopter." ”

At this moment, Chloe was so frightened that her soul was about to come out. However, Xinti was very dissatisfied with the two newly hired young drivers, and she felt that since she was already a Mi-8 driver, how could she not drive a Mi-26.

The driver regained control of his feelings, and although he barely calmed down, he was afraid that he would collapse at the slightest disturbance.

"Hindy 703, your height is too low." "The altitude has dropped too much." "Pay attention to the height, pay attention to the height."

The tone of the landing commander of the Minsk was becoming more and more impatient and full of irritation, and the pilot of the helicopter seemed to him to be simply stupid. His frustration was tormenting the Mi-26 pilot.

At this moment, the landing commander suddenly changed his tone and asked anxiously: "Xindi 703, we are in trouble." Are you willing to give up the landing order? ”

The driver wiped his sweat, of course he was unwilling to give up: "What's the matter?" Do I have to give up the landing pick? ”

"We received a J-7GV report of an emergency, and there are only 5 minutes left of fuel."

The driver looked back at his boss, Hinty, who didn't speak, she looked at the striking.

Meng Wei smiled and said, "Let him land first, we are helicopters." And our big guy fell on the deck, and he couldn't get up for a while, and the unlucky guy was sure to drink seawater. ”

Xindi motioned to the driver and asked him to listen to the attack.

The pilot shrugged helplessly: "On the command platform of the ship, our plane will give up the landing priority and climb to standby." ”

"Thank you. I will give you another descent guide. At this time, the tone of the landing commander became much more relaxed.

Looking out of the window, he was thinking about how the J-7GV was going to land on a small-deck aircraft carrier like Minsk, which he had never heard of.

In the night sky, the whistling of jet engines was heard, which became more and more sharp, indicating that the plane was approaching rapidly.

Meng Zhen saw clearly, this is a modified J-7G fighter, in the form of the MiG-21PD, with two RD-36-35 lift engines, in order to achieve vertical or short take-off and landing capabilities. He suddenly had an idea, and recalled that the current main business of Dapeng Tsai's Heyi Society is to increase the vertical take-off and landing capacity of customers' aircraft.

"It turned out to be a customer of Dapeng Tsai." Meng Bang stood up and said. I thought that I didn't let him land first in vain today, just to see the ability of this plane, if the effect is satisfactory, there is a way to deal with the "ghost".

Hearing Meng's words, Xindi leaned over and tilted her chin slightly: "Oh, what kind of business are they?" ”

"Dapeng Tsai has changed conventional aircraft to vertical take-off and landing, and the Minsk is their factory ship."

"Sounds interesting."

"Rough work, not for your shop."

"Ah, I was supposed to take care of your brother, I didn't want to mess with it. If you say that, I have to get in. ”

"Okay, I'm afraid of you, you should do big business. It's just a tuning shop. ”

Chloe listened to Meng Struck and Hindy beside her, and she was holding her breath in her heart, but she couldn't interject, her cheeks bulged out with anger, and from time to time she pursed her lips and exhaled, blowing a few blonde hairs in front of her forehead.

At this time, another voice burst in from the radio: "Xindi703, I'm a dart, thank you, brother, then you're welcome." It was a rough middle-aged male voice, "Conductor, I'm a dart here, I'll fall first." ”

"Dart, landing command platform, please pay attention to concise standards for communication."

"Oh."

The Mi-26 was re-establishing its glide course in a circle, and while paying attention to the pilot's movements, he watched the landing attitude of the blue-blue J-7GV next to him. I saw that the lift engine cover on the other party's back had all been opened, and the two engines inside were whining at the same time, holding the plane. From the point of view of attitude, it is impossible to do vertical movements, and can only take off and land at short distances.

"The height is too high." Meng shook his head.

The landing commander on the radio, like a phonograph, also shouted: "The height is too high!" Abandon the ship! Abandon the ship! ”

The J-7GV, which was like a triangular pike, whizzed over the aircraft carrier.

"Commanding platform! I'm dart, something went wrong. The lift engine is disobedient, and the maximum thrust cannot be controlled, and it cannot be lowered. "The voice was very rapid.

"Dart, landing command platform. I don't see a problem with you here. ”

"The command platform. I don't know what's going on, the plane can't go down, the lift engines are crazy, maybe it's stuck somewhere. ”

"Can you still land?"

"I'm going to dive too fast, but I'm going to have to plant them when I close them. Do you know what to do? ”

"How much fuel do you have?"

"That's enough for 4 minutes." Although the speed of the dart's speech was fast and rapid, it was not panicked.

But the situation was very urgent, and the fuel in these 4 minutes was only enough for the dart to land for the last time, otherwise he would have to fly far away to parachute. And the sea search and rescue in the dark night, its danger can be imagined. But if he fails to land and crashes into the mothership, the ship will be scrapped within a few months, and casualties will be inevitable.

Meng Bang touched his chin and thought about it, and an idea popped up in his mind. He looked back at Hinty.

Xindi knew that Meng was not going to sit idly by, and she said to the driver, "You all listen to Mr. Meng." ”

The two men in the driver's seat glanced back at Meng Zhu and nodded, but they didn't know what he was going to do.

Meng Hit picked up the headset: "Big dart, this is Xindi 703." I see that your skills are good, so if you want to live, listen to me. ”

"Hey, okay, I love what you say. The dart is under your command. Dart replied.

Then he said to the landing commander of the Minsk: "Continue to direct the landing." ”

"Ming, understood."

"Raise the blocking net." Meng Zhu said.

"Understood." As the commander spoke, his shouts were heard over the radio. "Attention everyone on the flight deck, emergency, a J-7GV is preparing for a forced landing. Ascend to block the net! ”

At the moment, the Minsk aircraft carrier was busy and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

After the landing commander contacted the eldest young master, Dapeng Tsai, he learned that the confident person on the helicopter was Mengzhen, no wonder, he also planned to see how Mengzheng made the J-7GV, which was completely out of control with a lift engine, land safely on the deck.

At this time, Meng Strike came to the position of the belly observation window of the Mi-26 and said to the pilot: "Descend altitude, fly to the stern, and fine-tune the position according to my command." ”

"Understood." The Mi-26 pilot began to twist the heavy helicopter's chubby body and slowly moved over the tail of the Minsk, its huge rotors curling a downward tornado.

Meng Striker held his headphones: "Big dart, I'm creating vertical windshear in the stern." Have you trained before? ”

"Oh? Wind shear? No, but we've wanted to try it for a long time, hahahaha. Dart smiled heartily.

"I'm sure you're okay. At the beginning it was a strong headwind, and the quick passage was guò. The altitude and relative velocity are then reduced with the help of downdrafts and tailwinds. Stabilize and turn off the engine in time. ”

"No problem!"

However, hearing the word "wind shear" is not as easy for everyone as it is for a dart. For pilots, wind shear is a deadly demon. It is a natural phenomenon of sudden changes in wind speed, in which the slight downdraft of vertical wind shear at low altitude resembles a waterfall of clouds rushing downward. If the plane flies into it and is not handled properly, it will be destroyed and people will die. There have been many cases of severe air crashes in history due to the slight downward rush of air currents.

Meng, on the other hand, uses the helicopter's rotors to artificially create this demonic downdraft.

Soon, as the world's largest heavy helicopter roared in, the deck crew of the Minsk felt nothing but a downward tornado storm slamming down and blowing in all directions. By this time, the barrage net on the flight deck had been raised.

The J-7GV in the distance once again entered the center of the landing auxiliary TV, and everyone's hearts rose to their throats again. Everyone is afraid that the small body of the J-7 will be blown into the sea by the powerful downdraft of the Mi-26.

"Pay attention to speed, mainly pay attention to speed." Meng Zhu observed and commanded, "Very good, steady." ”

"A little to the right, align with the centerline." The landing commander is the direction assistant.

Watching the plane staggering towards it, the crew on deck retreated in fright.

Without thinking about it, I just heard a muffled bang, and the J-7GV aircraft slammed the deck in the downdraft, and the runaway lift engine was completely shut down with a whimper before it could struggle twice. The gray-blue fuselage slammed forward in inertia, slammed into the blocking net, and stopped.

The cockpit canopy of the J-7GV was opened backwards, and the big dart stood out from inside and shouted: "Enjoyable!" ”

The plane landed safely, but to the worst extent that the flight deck was in shambles.

The landing commander said, "Hindy 703, the trouble is solved." But that's not the end of the story, we need some time to clean the deck. How much oil do you have left? ”

"No," Meng replied over the radio, "we're already there." ”

At this time, everyone noticed that the Mi-26 had flown to the bow of the ship with high cocks, hovered ahead, and slowly moved forward with the aircraft carrier. Instead of landing on the deck, the Mi-26 opened the aft hatch and let the gangplank rest on the foredeck.

Meng Zhu stepped out of it, jumped down in stride, sank his body, and stood firmly at the front of the high bow of the ship. The bridge in front of him stood tall.

"Yes, I've got one of the two keys." He chuckled to himself.
