"Dong Sangui, what's going on?"

When Yu Chenglin grabbed the microphone and asked, Qi Hong and Fang Chenghe arrived. As soon as the emergency plan was activated, the two leaders were all in place within five minutes.

"It's out of power, I can't see the meter, turn on the backup power, no response, start it again, still no response." Li Zhan obviously reported while conducting blind exercises.

Blind maneuvering is a basic quality for any pilot, and it is even less important for a pilot like Li Zhan, who has integrated man and machine. The dazzling cockpit in the eyes of ordinary people, the position of every switch and every instrument, the pilot is very familiar. As soon as the hand is stretched out, it will definitely not exceed half a centimeter of error. Li Zhan is even more accurate.

"All systems are fine, all are normal." Li Zhan reported again.

This is the only good news in the bad news, as long as the main systems of the aircraft are functioning, the difficulty for pilots is simply not being able to get flight data from the instruments. However, at night, this is already quite a terrible situation.

"I should have brought a flashlight, I can't be sure if the instrument system is failing or if it is just a power outage." Li Zhan said.

If you can't see anything, you can't judge, you can only feel the state of the fighter. At least two bars and two rudders are normal.

Qi Hong took over the command, glanced at the data handed over by the radar officer, Li Zhan's altitude was five hundred meters, and he said decisively, "Three turns, climb to three thousand, course one hundred and eighteen, cruising speed, listen to my instructions." ”

"Understood, climb to three thousand, course due south, cruising speed." Li Zhan repeated the instructions.

Seeing nothing means not knowing your altitude and heading, and you can only rely on your senses to operate blindly. Fortunately, in the moment before the power went off, Li Zhan knew the flight status.

Qi Hong's instructions are very appropriate.

The pilot is in the sky, the surroundings are dark, and the sense of space will be lost after a long time, and for a fighter with extremely fast airspeed, the altitude is only 500 meters, and when the sense of space is restored with the help of ground lights, it is almost time to crash.

Therefore, it is imperative to climb immediately to gain more altitude.

Everyone knows that the No. 037 fighter is flying with full fuel tonight, and there is still most of the fuel at this time, so there is no need to worry about the fuel margin. Another hour is fine.

Li Zhan climbed by feeling, and when he felt that it was almost three thousand meters, Qi Hong sent an order at the right time, "Three turns in the hole, good altitude, enter the cruise, and wait for the command." ”

Nodding secretly, Li Zhan had confidence, his feeling was relatively accurate, and he resumed level flight into cruising speed.

A minute later, Qi Hong instructed, "Turn left ninety degrees to enter the circle, maintain altitude." ”

"No matter how I keep it, I can't see anything." Li Zhan replied, "Understand, enter the hovering and maintain the height." ”

Undoubtedly, the current situation is that the ground obtains Li Zhan's position through radar, gives him operational instructions, and maintains the flight attitude of the fighter. There is no other way.

After confirming that Li Zhan was circling in a large circle three thousand meters above the station, Qi Hong immediately ordered all the fighters to return to the field urgently, and diverted to Guixi and eastern Guangdong from a long distance, clearing the airspace and route for Li Zhan.

Cabin power outages are extremely rare, but experienced pilots can land with the help of ground references. Although Li Zhan is not an experienced pilot, he is completely fine with his level.

So windy, rainy, thunder and lightning, and the engine was still on fire, he fell to the ground, this is really nothing.

However, add a nose landing gear failure and it hurts.

It's another first-class specialty.

Thinking of this, Qi Hong couldn't help but ask, "What does the maintenance do to eat, and how do you do it?" ”

The division commander was angry, and everyone was so nervous.

Fang Chenghe, who was nervously discussing the plan with a few staff officers over there, raised his head and said in a deep voice, "What is protecting Li Zhan is Lou Yiwang, a very experienced mechanic in the Fourth Regiment Maintenance Brigade, so it stands to reason that there will be no such low-level negligence." I think it was an accident. ”

After controlling his emotions, Qi Hong looked back at Fang Chenghe, who was doing the work of chief of staff as a political commissar, and brought the microphone to his mouth, "Dong Sangui, report the situation." ”

"Tower, I'm fine, I can't see anything." Li Zhan secretly thought in his heart, is the division commander stupid to be a political commissar, just asking nonsense.

Qi Hong asked, "How do you feel?" ”

"Feeling...... It's enjoyable. ”

“…… I ask you how you feel about the fighter. ”

"This, I love her very much, but she doesn't love me, and she always has problems."

The staff on duty at the tower couldn't help but laugh out loud, and the solemn atmosphere was much more relaxed.

Everyone can hear that Li Zhan is not deliberately teasing Qi Hong, but there is no way to talk about it! What else can you feel when you lose intuitive data? To put it mildly, the engine will catch fire again at this time, and Li Zhan is afraid that he will not know.

"Tell me what you think." Qi Hong didn't bother anymore and asked directly.

Even if you can't see anything, the pilot is the one who knows the situation best, and there is no one.

Of course, Li Zhan has feelings, how can a person sit in the cockpit without feeling, otherwise how can he be sure that the fighter has no other problems except for the power failure of the cockpit and the failure of the landing gear.

"Forced landing." Li Zhan directly gave a plan.

Qi Hong glanced back, and then said, "Keep hovering and wait for instructions." ”

"Understood."

This time there is no hurry, Li Zhanyou has a lot of oil. He couldn't help but calculate, and when he was almost consumed to the alarm, he would land on the ground, and at least 900 yuan of rod fees would come in.

After careful calculation, there will be more than 3,000 trolley fees in June, that is to say, the salary in June has exceeded 10,000 yuan!

"Tsk."

"What's the situation?" Qi Hong heard a strange voice and asked nervously.

Li Zhan realized that he was too excited, and his hair made a sound, looked left and right, it was dark, and said, "It's okay, it's just a little boring." ”

……

The officer on duty at the tower chuckled again. In the face of such a dangerous situation, Li Zhan is definitely unprecedented. Many years ago, there was a deputy division commander of the Second Division who also encountered the danger that the nose landing gear could not be put down, and it was called a nervous situation at that time, and finally it came down hard, and the nose of the fighter plane slid to the grass on one side of the runway surface, and the people were fine, and the fighter was basically scrapped, and it could not be repaired.

Now the situation encountered by Li Zhan is obviously more complicated, not only at night, but also the cockpit is powered off.

"J-7 hasn't encountered such a fault as a cockpit power outage for many years, okay, let this kid run into it. How do you say it, they all call him a broom star? Fang Chenghe said with a wry smile to Qi Hong who came over.

Yu Chenglin, who was lying on the desk, straightened up and reported to Qi Hong, "Division commander, there are two plans, first, forced landing, which is also Li Zhan's proposition. The second plan was proposed by Zhang Wei, Zhang Wei, you will talk about it. ”

Zhang Wei swallowed his saliva and said nervously, "The specific operation is to arrange a pickup truck on the runway, install obvious light signs, and at the same time as Li Zhan lands and slides, the pickup truck travels at the fastest speed, reducing the relative speed of the fighter and the pickup truck as much as possible, Li Zhan puts down the nose according to the light instructions, puts the front landing gear in the rear bucket of the pickup truck, and the pickup truck is immediately put into neutral gear to avoid the connection with the fighter falling off, and completely relies on the braking force of the fighter to achieve stop." ”

Have one's head in the clouds.

The first thing that flashed through Qi Hong's mind was this idiom.

"If the pickup truck loses its balance and rolls over in the process, the damage will be even greater. How do you make sure your pickup truck is balanced when it bears the nose landing gear of a fighter jet? It's not about making a movie, it's about a few lives. Qi Hong said in a deep voice.

The crowd was silent, apparently having thought of the problem, but had not yet come up with a solution.
