Chapter 672: Sudden Danger
"Well, Dudia;' Don't be obsessed with games', and you have a point. β
Between words, probably seeing the screen display at the front of the cabin, and feeling that the journey was coming to an end, the girl put the chess pieces on the table into the chessboard box, and showed a bright smile to Aunt Dia, who had accompanied her along the way.
This is a sixteen or seventeen-year-old young girl, who accompanied her father on a trip to China while studying, and the curiosity and nervousness at the time of departure had run away without a trace, and the girl's mind was so easy to change and wander; When I was packing up my things, I thought that I was going to enter the university next, and I guess my father would mention this matter and ask AIA to arrange a suitable university for further study.
With some hope for her future life, the young princess subconsciously took a deep breath, and couldn't help but start to recall the etiquette guidance she had received before, and how to behave more appropriately when she met the honor guard and friendly leaders later.
Oh, if only my mother could come with me on such a visit; Unfortunately, because of physical reasons......
Looking back on the previous life experience, such foreign affairs visits have often been performed by themselves in recent years, offside to take on the role of "first lady"; This kind of situation is not unheard of in the world, but for a girl who is still in the flowering age, it is still a little too restrained and too tiring.
A woman who is not deeply involved in the world is still in a rambling reverie in her seat; Inadvertently looking at the large sky outside the cabin, the clear blue sky background is a slowly receding thin clouds, this kind of scenery is indeed -
The call of "drip-drip-" sounded abruptly in the cabin.
I heard this with a somewhat hurried sound. Major General Canton, who was in his seat, quickly stood up. A few steps to the door of the nose cockpit; By this time the cockpit door had been opened. A pilot with a somewhat anxious face said a few words to the major general, and the latter's face became a little more solemn:
"You...... Are you sure? Why don't we feelβ"
As he was talking, he seemed to have suddenly encountered a turbulence in the airflow, felt the irregular shaking and undulation of the plane, and the people in the cockpit subconsciously clung to the armrests or other places where they could grasp them, and their faces showed a look of confusion and nervousness; Seeing that something was wrong, the king of Maolong, who was seated, was quite calm, and he asked what had happened rather calmly:
"Canton. ββWhat happened to the plane? β
"Please calm down! - Maung Dagang, explain the situation to His Majesty. β
Although he had suffered an accident, he was not surprised by the changes in the soldier's position, and the sturdy Major General Canton immediately let go of the hatch and asked the pilot to explain a little. And the young man named Da Gang also calmed down his feelings for the time being, although his words were still a little uneasy:
"Your Majesty, Your Highness, there has just been a problem with the engine on one side of our plane; Right now...... Well, now confirm that the power of one side has been lost......"
Crisis in the sky. It happened almost suddenly, almost without warning.
Just when the atmosphere in the "Gulfstream" business plane was suddenly tense and the crew urgently contacted the ground navigation station, the two J-20 "Weilong" escorting the rear of the foreign affairs plane. Major Li Wenyang, who piloted the "Wind Thunder No. 1", also discovered the anomaly.
Just now, looking at the past from the rear side angle, the "Gulfstream", which had been flying smoothly and the position in the line of sight was almost unchanged, suddenly began to emit gradually increasing gray smoke from the left engine, and it was obvious that the engine was not working normally; Just when he felt that something was wrong and was about to call the ground command station, he saw the engine smoke on the Gulfstream side suddenly weaken and then almost disappear.
This kind of scene, which ordinary people would think at first glance is over, made the major feel that the situation is becoming more and more serious, this is obviously an abnormal engine suddenly stopped in the air, in other words, the "Gulfstream" in front has lost half of its engine thrust at this time!
Seeing this abnormal situation, Li Wenyang immediately contacted the ground command station; Almost at the same time, the "Gulfstream" crew had already contacted the ground navigation station, informed the plane of a problem with the left engine, and asked for the next course of action.
As a twin-engine business jet designed with safety in mind, the Gulfstream G650's aerodynamic design is quite good, and even if one engine fails, it can achieve safe flight at moderate speeds with the help of another RR725 engine with a thrust of 7.3 tons. While maintaining contact with the ground, it was confirmed that the left engine that had stopped did not trigger the fire alarm, and the driver's situation was basically stable. However, unlike the crew members, when he heard the news of the "side engine" stopping, Major General Canton frowned like King Maolong in his seat, and the two met for a moment to roughly understand each other's thoughts.
Although the Kingdom of Myanmar has limited strength, although it can only purchase light business aircraft such as "Gulfstream" as a special aircraft for foreign affairs, its usual maintenance and testing are not sloppy at all; In the middle of the flight, there was a serious failure of the engine to stop, and this situation is a little too optimistic to say that it is the negligence of the ground staff.
If this wasn't a mechanical failure, could it be someone who was deliberately sabotage?
As if to confirm the speculation of the two of them, the business jet, which had just gotten rid of the tremor and bump due to the shutdown of one engine and the pilot's reluctance to flatten out, shook with a dull "pop-" sound, and the people in the cockpit almost had to stand unsteadily, what was going on?
Feeling the tremor of the airframe, the pilot Dagang, who was holding the cockpit door frame, was also puzzled, he shouted twice, but heard the captain respond "the right engine is working normally"; Just as she didn't know what had just happened, the princess, who was sitting on the edge of the porthole and inadvertently looking back, noticed that something was wrong:
"Oh my God! What happened to the wings, wings of the plane? β
"Wing ......?"
Seeing the girl with a panicked face and a disgraced face raising her hand to the outside of the cabin, Da Gang bowed slightly in confusion, and looked back from a row of round portholes of the "Gulfstream", he soon found a crack in the wing, and the smoke and black fuel that were coming out of the crack, and couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise:
"Just now, so just now, how could the wing be damaged!"
The plane was still jolting, and when they saw the white swept wing outside the porthole, there was already an extra cut and smoke leaking, and everyone in the cabin suddenly understood that the plane had obviously been tampered with by someone, or that it had installed small bombs - if engine failure could be regarded as an accident, then how could a good wing become like this all at once!
Suddenly, the bumpy and trembling "Gulf Stream" was still struggling to fly at an altitude of thousands of meters, and everyone, including King Maolong, was a little overwhelmed and panicked in the cabin.
At this time, Da Gang, although his face was blue, he still retained some rational thinking, he immediately jumped to the cockpit door in two steps, reported the situation to the captain, and asked him to immediately reduce the flight speed and keep the flight altitude unchanged as much as possible. Suddenly, he was stunned for a moment before he reacted, and he knew that the damage was not good when he looked at it just now, and if he continued to maintain the cruising speed and the wings were constantly stressed, he might break off at the damage all of a sudden.
If it really becomes like that, not to mention that there is only one engine left in the plane to work now, and it is precisely on the other side of the injured wing, once the wing is broken, it will cause an imbalance of force, let alone whether it can land smoothly, or even maintain the balance of the flight state.
With such worries, after a brief conversation with the captain, the pilot, Dagang, returned to the cabin and watched the damaged right wing with concern against the porthole; Although there are no signs for a while, but he is also an old pilot with comprehensive knowledge, Da Gang knows very well that the structural damage of the plane is often without warning, and the place that was seen well in the last second may suddenly break in the whole in the next second.
Damn, how could things suddenly turn out like this!
With a bit of panic and anxiety, as a crew member of the royal family's special plane, Da Gang's concern for his life is still secondary, if this accident leads to the accident of the royal family, it will be a real fatal blow to the country.
Thinking of this, he temporarily left the porthole, dragged out the prepared parachute, thermal suit, and mask from the locker in the cabin, and asked the king and princess and others to change into them immediately, but at the same time he was a little hesitant in his heart - the so-called parachute jump, there are not many people on the plane now, and there may be time for it; However, this so-called "escape" is not a "shortcut" to escape from the crashed plane as most people think, but a very dangerous action in itself, and it is equivalent to an adventure for untrained people to parachute directly.
Now, at least the plane can fly, and the ground navigation station is also urgently arranging alternate landing airports, if you can get away with landing, of course, you shouldn't take a risky parachute jump.
-- But who can say for sure?
Time is precious, and there can be no delay for a moment, Dagang still immediately beckoned everyone to get ready for parachuting, and at the same time nervously paid attention to the situation on the wings; Compared to the explosion just now, the fuel in the wing fuel tank has leaked, and now there is less gray-black gushing out of the hole, but who knows if it will suddenly break......
At such an extremely dangerous moment, he also knew that the Chinese Air Force fighters flying nearby could not help - rashly approaching the damaged aircraft would only increase the risk of collision, but Dagang, who had no bottom in his heart, still looked left and right, looking for gray fighters in the sky.
Calming down slightly from the tension just now, he quickly noticed the fighter plane that had followed up and kept flying in parallel, first he saw the one that was flying with him on the left side of the fuselage, and then the one on the right.
Hey, what's this blue and white one?
Why is it not the "Weilong" that has been flying with you before, but it seems to be a Su-27! (To be continued......)
