Chapter 233: Rescue in the Air 1 (Part II)
"Tchaikov, the outpost received some broken electromagnetic signals." Sasha reported to Tchaikov.
"Is it Dick's? Can you determine his location? Tchaikov asked.
"It's determined that it was from Dick's expedition, and the signal only lasted two or three seconds, and it is now impossible to determine his location."
"I never thought about going to save him!" Tchaikov stood up.
Although Tchaikov and Dick are distant cousins, they have almost never been in contact with each other since the generation of the elder Tchaicher, but the two families were once haunted by the problems of the royal tomb and the diamond mines, and eventually turned into mutual hatred, Tchaikov and Dick knew each other very well, and the day they were born decided that they were rivals for life. Historically, the Zachers have always been at a disadvantage - as long as they have direct descendants, they will be cursed to take their lives, and the Tchaikovs only need a little patience to survive until their opponents die.
Tchaikov was relieved to learn that Dick had a son, according to experience, Dick has a maximum of 3 years to live, according to tradition, Dick will be the ancestors handed down manuscripts and other family-related materials to sort out, the accumulated wealth to the fund company, after the child is an adult, his child will be raised by a trustworthy housekeeper, and when the child grows up, Tchaikov can go to live for the rest of his life, and the next generation of battles will naturally be taken over by Tchaikov's children.
However, Tchaikov underestimated Dick's determination, but he didn't expect Dick to form an expedition, but what made Tchaikov happy was that the location of the red dragon disturbance they calculated was actually wrong, in order to let Dick take the bait, Tchaikov made a scene, he did this to make Dick further think that he was right, so as to achieve the purpose of delaying time, Tchaikov judged that after Dick was blocked back, he would think of a way, and when he thought of a way, the real red dragon disturbance was over. But he didn't expect Dick to secretly take the plunge and venture through the Frozen Lake District! But unexpectedly, Dick's arrival once again caused the natives to go on a frenzied treasure hunt, and Tchaikov thought that Dick had to be taken away.
Although Tchaikov counted on his fingers how long Dick would live, if it weren't for the accident of the Blood Falls, Tchaikov would have even wished Dick would have died on the edge of that crater, but now he can't die, and Tchaikov needs Dick to persuade the whimsical natives.
Another point is that Tchaikov did not want to admit it, but it is a hidden worry of the facts, that the old Tchaikov did what he was sorry for the old Tchaicher, and this guilt did not fade with time......
I don't know exactly what Dick is like now, only a general location of him, and it will take two days to drive from here to there, even if you take the nearest route! This time was something that Tchaikov was unwilling to wait.
"Sasha, is our helicopter ready to move?" Tchaikov felt that there was a faster means of transport.
"It's too old for this climate, and it's been overhauled." Sasha was a little embarrassed, although it would be quick to use the helicopter, but whether the helicopter could fly was a problem.
"Then find a way to get that old fellow moving," said Tchaikov, "just today!" ”
"What? Want to make it go to heaven? Tchaikov, you are really crazy! I like it though. Pilot Pandey, hearing Tchaikov's decision, shouted on the radio.
"How long does it take off to get it off? You're going to come here to pick me up! Tchaikov asked.
"Four hours, no, three hours at most......" Pandey rubbed his hands excitedly.
"Can it fly?" Hearing Pandy's tone, Tchaikov felt his heart beat a drum.
"Haha, Tchaikov," Pandey laughed maniacally, "you're going to get a surprise!" ”
"I hope it won't be a scare." Pandey ended the call, and Tchaikov muttered to himself.
"Alright, brothers, it's time for us to show off what we're up to!" Pandey slammed his wrench on the iron bed and shoved the flyer out of his sleep.
"Are you crazy? Or is Tchaikov crazy? Dispatch at such a time! The mechanic's eyes widened.
"That's right, we're all crazy," Pandey said excitedly, "help me get this old guy up and you don't have to worry about the rest!" ”
The old guy they said was a Mi-8 helicopter, which was a military transport helicopter produced in the 60s of the last century, known as the AK in the helicopter, when the former Soviet Union collapsed, a large number of arms and materials were re-sold, Tchaikov's father also took the opportunity to buy two to inspect the land, one of which was unable to fly 10 years ago, and became a spare parts warehouse for the other one, and the remaining old guy has been 40 years old! In order to make it fly longer, except for the occasional flight in the summer, it is maintained in the hangar most of the time, and in the harsh winter, even the Maozi mechanic, who is known for its roughness, thinks that it cannot be allowed to take off, otherwise there will only be one result - crash!
But as a pilot who loves to fly, Pandey doesn't want to miss any chance to go to the sky, even if it's a meteorite falling from the sky now!
Pandey is in his 60s, helicopter pilot with an extremely poor driving record and a lot of crash experience - in the more than 40 years since he took to the skies, he has flown more than 10 different types of aircraft, leaving the scene of nine crashes unscathed!
The mechanic was helpless against the old man, and the Mi-8 was dragged out of the hangar and exposed to the snowflakes, which could not be started on its own at low temperatures, so the mechanic had to connect an external pressurized power supply and force the engine to run.
Hearing the sound of propellers flying in the snowflakes, Pandey smiled and put on his flight helmet, and the mechanic climbed into the cab and shouted to Pandey: "The altimeter coil is aging and has not been replaced, and the altitude display may be wrong!" The level is also broken and has not been replaced, I am waiting for parts. Remember, there is always a problem with the hydraulic system, and the action must be gentle, otherwise the pressure pipe will burst and the operating system will all fail. That's right! Don't turn it off, or it won't start again. ”
"Okay, just tell me, can it fly?" Pandey was a little impatient with the mechanic's chatter.
"Yes! But I don't know when it will fall! The mechanic replied honestly.
"Haha, I like it!" Pandey shoved the mechanic off the plane and closed the cabin door.
"Do you have to take me with you?" The co-pilot looked at Pandey with a look of dismay.
"It's a spirit, lad! We must face everything with great courage! Our strong polar bears are invincible! Pandey excitedly pushed the throttle stick, the rotors overhead picked up, the engine hissed as if it was about to explode at any moment, and the helicopter finally staggered reluctantly off the ground in the gale.
The plane took off and entered a smooth flight, the co-pilot saw that the altimeter was shaking violently, and he couldn't read the altitude data at all, but fortunately, the flight compass was still normal, at least he would ensure that he didn't get lost.
The old engine can't provide too much power, and here is the plateau snow, it is easy to suffer from snow blindness, and lose the sense of distance to the ground, the co-pilot feels that Pandey flies a little too low, and reminds: "Pull up!" Elevating! We're almost hitting the mountain! ”
"Don't worry! I'm very experienced with crashes! Pandey teased, seeing that the plane was about to make close contact with the top of the mountain, Pandey gently took the joystick, and the belly of the plane swept a few meters above the top of the mountain......
