Chapter 52: The Climb
The Ninghe was in place at the start of the runway, and the flaps had been adjusted to take off.
In front of Shang Luo, the two captains with their backs to him were making final confirmations.
This aircraft has two sets of fixed thrust and pulse detonation systems, and four sets of instruments of oil, electricity, hydraulics and gas are arranged in the cabin, with a total of eight divisions. In front of the driver, the top of the head, the side, and everything that can be touched by the hand are all stuffed with instruments and switches, and those that can't be stuffed are piled up in the panel of the whole wall next to Shang Luo.
The two systems are rigidly together, leaving almost no room for double insurance. The instruments in front of the two drivers are not repetitively arranged, except for basic instruments such as gyroscopes and altimeters. Each switch has its own unique and necessary use. Specifically, the part of the pulse detonation is in the main pilot's seat, the part of the fixed push rocket is in the co-pilot, and two people drive the two systems separately.
Even if a normal person has three heads and six arms, he can't play this hard-packed mechanical monster. But Qi cultivation period monks can.
"Unlock the fuel shut-off valve, the booster pump starts up one to six, and the oil injector starts."
Captain Lin did a final inspection of the part of the deflagration pulse engine. Although they have always behaved calmly, they are actually loose on the outside and tight on the inside. All operations will be reported to the colleagues next to them word for word, and they will never be done without "verbal calling". It's just that these two Nanyang captains not only communicate in Hokkien, but also speak as fast as garbled characters, completely touching Shang Luo's perception blind spot.
"The igniter is adjusted to the double-shot position activation. Ignition ready! ”
After saying that, the two of them put their hands on the button on the central console. In order to avoid accidentally touching a switch and turning the plane into a bomb, booster rockets are set to require both sides to be pressed at the same time to ignite.
The ignition order is given by the captain himself. Captain Lin took a deep breath and began to count down:
"Five, four, three, two, unit. Ignition! ”
The huge push back sensation pressed Shang Luo directly to the seat, and his brain went blank, even ignoring the terrifying scream of the rocket.
The view from the mechanic's seat is excellent. Shang Luo was lucky enough to sit in the first row of the roller coaster, and the scenery on both sides quickly retreated, and then suddenly it turned the color of the sea - the plane had been pulled up and reached the sea, but he was still pressed on the seat, and there was no sense of weightlessness in the plane taking off at all.
"It's going to climb, grit your teeth!" Captain Lin took the time to turn around and shout, and he didn't care if Shang Luo could hear it and began to pull the operating lever.
The gas rudder and the wing surface worked together, and the plane jerked off the nose of the plane, changing from level flight to climbing attitude in more than a second.
Blood is carried away from the brain by inertia. Shang Luo's eyes darkened, he couldn't hear anything, and the whole world was moving away. But the anti-load suit pressed his limbs tightly, and pressed back some of the blood, so that he did not completely "black" it.
The blackness faded away, and the vibrations and roars returned. Shang Luo's hips were not felt at all, because his whole body was crushed to death on the back of the seat. The pressure came from all over the body, like being wrapped in a snake by a python and gradually tightening.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught the eyes of the pilots - they were still going on without any protective gear, their hands not off the joystick at all, and they even had the energy to talk. It's just that the noise is too loud, and Shang Luo can't hear anything.
He noticed that the joystick was not moving in the hands of the two men, as if it were nailed there. The vibration transmitted through the steel wire on the wing surface was firmly locked by the arms of the two, and the entire plane actually flew extremely smoothly except for the vibration of the rocket, so that Shang Luo didn't even feel the effect other than the "push back feeling".
When everything stabilized, the plane began to climb smoothly. The feeling of pushing his back still pressed him against the seat, but now he could at least breathe.
Suddenly, without warning, the feeling of pushing the back suddenly disappeared.
"Altitude 11,721 meters, arrive at the reserved altitude." Captain Chen in the passenger seat reported the data.
Arrived so soon? Before Shang Luo could even get used to it, the climb was over.
"Separation booster." Captain Lin gave instructions to the side.
"Understood." The co-pilot pulled the handles of the booster rockets on both sides of the separation - but he was slow to report back the reply "booster separation".
Captain Lin looked over: "What's the situation?" ”
"Stuck, no separation."
"Take out the manual and turn to page forty-two." The two of them didn't say a word, and seized all the time to start flipping through the book.
The high-speed prophecy continued. It's still ridiculously fast Hokkien, and Shang Luo can't understand a word.
"Hey, what's wrong?" He asked Apollonia.
[Do you want me to give you a simultaneous interpretation?] 】
"No, but why are they talking so fast? Is something wrong? ”
[This is their normal working speed.] They are professionally trained air trainer pilots, and they are the aces of the Aurora Air Force, and they can fly aircraft that ordinary people can't operate. For example, some advanced fighters use a static and unstable configuration, which requires manual balancing all the time, and the energy and attention of ordinary people will be squeezed out half an hour after takeoff, but the qi practitioner can do it, and even give it to his own qi sense. Do you still remember the exercises practiced by Wen Yuan? 】
"You said that "Lei Lang Heavenly Scripture"?"
[If I'm not mistaken, the training direction of "Lei Lang Tianjing" is such an ace pilot. They will not be drained of energy by the airframe, but can in turn drain the performance of the airframe, so that they can make unbelievable maneuvers in air combat to dodge the line of fire; Then find the perfect flying angle of attack and use every opportunity to fire to kill in one hit. A single sortie can annihilate an entire squadron of enemy aircraft, or even the entire air power of a small country. 】
"Ahh
[Want to learn?] Just call me Master... What are you doing? Don't take a hammer! I was wrong! In fact, it can't be taught! But can I open it for you, remember that card? And now this music box. I can exhaust the limits of their power, and I can even stabilize the Qi practitioners. 】
"So you can fly this plane?"
[Of course.] So don't worry, they're now checking the manual to troubleshoot. If you really can't rule it out, then it's good for me to open it. But that's when I have to, I'll be exposed. So you have to convince them to get out of the cockpit first. So read it yourself, this 'action' can't be done by me. 】
"I can only touch what I have at hand... Each system of this aircraft is self-contained, how do I know which one to read and where to read it. Can I still open the door and crawl out and touch it again? ”
[If that's the case... You wait, in fact, it can be like this. Take me out and put it next to the dashboard. 】
Taking the ball from the music box, Shang Luo brought it close to the mechanic panel next to it. A strand of gold stretched out of the ball and spread out and penetrated into the dashboard.
[This trick is called hanging silk diagnosis, Sun Wukong sincerely does not deceive me. ] In this way, you can read the information without interfering with the operation of the machine, because the person who does the action of 'reading' is you, not me, I am just a tool, you can read me. How's that, did you read it? Doctor Shang. 】
