Chapter 3 Air Crisis
Under the vast sky, between the stars.
The fuselage of the huge Boeing B747-400 airliner tilted and drew a beautiful arc straight towards the Indian Ocean.
The large airliner has a two-tier, three-class cabin layout, with the flight cockpit on the upper deck, followed by business class, and the lower main cabin from front to back in first class and economy class.
As a result, the robber man who entered the upper cabin after killing a flight attendant with a gun is no longer visible to anyone in the main cabin, but there is still a robber in the main cabin, and it seems that his threat is even greater.
With a beard on his face and a triumphant smile on his lips, he kept patrolling everyone before he slowly walked down the hallway to the rear of the plane, so that he could get an overview of the entire master cabin.
Although there are rows of backs and passengers to cover, he can't see whether all the passengers have small movements, but realistically speaking, for a robber with a time bomb on his body, as long as he presses his finger, the plane can be blown out of a big hole, which is 10,000 meters in the air, no one can escape death.
In this way, no one dared to move, and the main cabin was silent, silent, and people with poor psychological endurance soon began to sob.
In the main cabin, a thick sadness soon filled the air, and the sound of crying soon stretched into a film.
There were more and more cries in his ears, and Wu Feng still stood still and his expression was calm, because at this time, the more panicked he was, the more afraid he was, and he had to die early and late.
Wu Feng carefully looked at every passenger in the first-class cabin, and for the more than 300 passengers in the economy class, he could only occasionally glance back at the robber holding the timer, and observe it by the way.
There were too many people, and it was difficult to determine whether there was a third or even a fourth or even more robbers, so Wu Feng didn't dare to move for the time being, but Su Yi was sitting next to him. Su Yi, who had pretended to be deep and ignored Wu Feng before, was so frightened that her face turned blue at this moment, and her left and right hands tightly wrapped around Wu Feng's arm. I was so scared that I even trembled a little.
"Don't be afraid, you'll get through!"
Wu Feng comforted softly. He knew that for Su Yi, who was worth more than 100 million, she was not only the president of the listed group with a brilliant career, but also a naturally beautiful Bai Fumei, who was fair-skinned and beautiful, and it would be a pity if she died if she didn't enjoy life well.
Su Yiru's arms trembled slightly, and she asked in a low voice, "Are we all going to die?" ”
Wu Feng smiled faintly and broke free from Su Yi's shackles. Stretched out his hand and grabbed Xiang's shoulder, let Su Yi lean on his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Believe me, we will not die." This is a hijacking/plane, not a terrorist/attack, they must have other plans in mind! ”
After Su Yi heard this, she seemed to feel that what Wu Feng said made sense, and the robbers must have boarded the plane with some purpose. Hijacking means that they are taking the entire plane passenger hostage for political, military or economic gain.
Patting Su Yi's pink back, Wu Feng gradually calmed the restless Su Yi a little, and for Wu Feng, he wanted to be sure of two things now.
The first is what the hell are these robbers going to do. Where do they want to hijack the plane?
The second is whether there are robbers in the main cabin or even in the upper cabin, they are hidden among the passengers, and they usually can't see it at all, and they suddenly jump out at a critical time, which is fatal.
At such a life-threatening time, Wu Feng naturally thought of the 'suitcase' in the closed luggage rack above his head, and the spirit core should also be reloaded.
Closing his eyes, Wu Feng entered the consciousness space, and after awakening the dormant spirit core, he briefly recounted the matter.
"Master, what do you need me to do?"
"I need intelligence, you have to find a way to infiltrate the flight cockpit, check the current situation of the flight crew, and grasp the situation in the cabin and radio communications!"
"It's easy, I'll arrange it right away!"
After receiving the order, the spirit core first conducted an inductive scan of the entire passenger plane, and quickly determined for Wu Feng that the robber's timed solid bomb was placed in a suitcase, and the position was placed on the head of the robber holding the timer.
In addition, there were no other explosive devices in the entire plane, and then the spirit core decomposed a part of the intelligent nanobots, which condensed into an ultra-small earthworm, and slowly 'crawled' towards the flight cockpit through various gaps.
In addition, there are some nanobots, which are more numerous, and they are not earthworms, they are almost as long as a small snake, and they are slowly approaching the time bomb.
For nano-scale intelligent robots, millimeter-level gaps are too wide for them, so it is not difficult, and they arrive at their respective positions in both directions.
In the advanced digital flight cockpit, not only the dialogue between the robbers and the flight crew, but even the flight control system of the passenger plane was also invaded by the spirit core, and real-time flight data was obtained, including heading, altitude, speed, attitude angle and so on.
The airliner had been receiving inquiries from the ground, but the flight crew did not dare to reply, but was flying towards the Indian Ocean under the threat of the robbers' pistols.
The purpose of the robbers is not clear for the time being, and Wu Feng did not immediately order the spirit core to snatch flight control of the entire passenger plane from the flight crew, although this is indeed a trivial matter for the spirit core, the Aegis 'King Kong' destroyer is such a ferocious behemoth that it can play, and the small Boeing passenger plane is nothing.
On the other hand, the solid-state bomb that was specially modified and placed in a suitcase made Wu Feng wonder, it stands to reason that it is impossible for a high explosive like TNT to be brought on the plane, how can this small suitcase contain at least 3 kilograms.
What is the concept of 3kg TNT? A kilogram of TNT explosion can produce 4.2 million joules of energy, which is equivalent to the power of the explosion of 20 grenades, and 3 kilograms of TNT, which is certainly more violent than a 155 mm howitzer, can almost blow the tail of an airliner directly into pieces.
At an altitude of more than 10,000 meters, if a civil airliner does not have a tail, it will lose the horizontal tail that controls the pitch and deflection of the aircraft, as well as the vertical tail that can play a balancing role, so it is strange that the plane does not crash.
What's more, large jet airliners fly at an altitude of 10,000 meters, and the external environment is low-pressure low-temperature dilute oxygen, and in order to meet the needs of human comfort, the cabin is pressurized oxygen supply to create a pleasant air pressure and air environment.
In this way, the passenger plane is in a state of expansion above the altitude, so once there is a gap in the cabin, let alone a big hole, the pressure difference between the inside and outside is enough to tear the bulkhead in an instant, causing the oxygen and untethered items in the cabin to be sucked out.
If the entire tail of the plane was blown up, then all the passengers would have to die, the difference is only whether they were sucked into the air or frozen to death in the wreckage of the plane, or directly killed by the blast wave or debris.
In this way, it is extremely important to defuse the bomb secretly, and the slightest mistake will cause the bomb to explode suddenly, resulting in a terrible tragedy.
"Spirit core, don't dismantle the bomb first, show me the bomb's inductive scanning!"
Wu Feng continued to give various orders in the consciousness space, and the spirit core did not dare to mess around without permission, and honestly scanned the suitcase containing the bomb around it, and constructed a three-dimensional holographic structure diagram of the suitcase in Wu Feng's consciousness space in real time.
However, accidents always come out of nowhere.
I don't know if it was because of the luck of the airliner or some other reason, but soon after the emergency contact code was issued, the Huaxia and Laotian sides, which received the news of the hijacking, urgently linked, and sent fighter jets at an unimaginable speed.
Yes, it is indeed a fighter, and it is the latest new model in service with the Air Force of the Republic of China, they may only be training at night, but it is undeniable that they came quickly and fiercely, directly breaking into the airspace of Laos, accompanied by the sides of the B747 airliner, constantly shaking their wings.
Unlike ordinary robbers, the robber who stood in the cockpit with a firearm did not allow the flight crew to use the radio equipment at all, and he did not take the initiative to contact any party, but only let the plane continue to fly forward, without asking the two 'escort' fighters what they were doing.
The two 'escort' fighters could only accelerate in front of the B747 airliner and turn on all the lights that could be turned on, believing that the pilots with excellent eyesight would not be invisible.
However, the flight crew in the cockpit of the B747 passenger plane still did not get the permission of the robbers to contact the fighter pilot, but a man who should have been sitting honestly in the business class saw a fighter plane appear through the porthole, probably fueling his heroic feelings.
So he saw that the robbers who were only one person were focused on the main and co-pilot, quietly unbuckled the seat belt, and rushed into the flight cockpit with a fierce lunge, and a tiger pounce almost knocked down the robber.
But he never expected that the trained robber suddenly turned sideways, and at the same time, the pistol in his hand also sprayed a vicious bullet, but the bullet did not hit the 'hero', but instead pierced the bulkhead with a thumb-sized hole.
The huge pressure difference created a huge destructive effect in an instant, and as the oxygen air flow was sucked out of the cabin, the hole began to grow gradually until it was blocked by the crack bar, but the hole had expanded to the size of a basketball.
The oxygen in the flight cockpit was being rapidly drained, and the vicious battle between the 'hero' and the robber continued, with several more gunshots and several holes punched in the bulkhead of the flight cockpit.
The gunfire and the fight startled the two pilots, and the main pilot kept trying to avoid the robbers shooting him, but unexpectedly caused the fuselage to swerve sharply to the left, so that the co-pilot, who had unfastened the shoulder strap and tried to join the battle group, was caught off guard, and one of them stumbled and fell, but just pinned the robber under him.
The sound of gunfire came into the main cabin, and the robber holding the timer seemed to be not very psychologically strong, and he did not stand firmly on the side of the plane, and he stumbled and almost fell to the ground, and the finger holding the bomb timer almost pressed down.
