Return to 2000: Captain of the Great Powers

Chapter 194 Lockheed Martin! (Please subscribe!)

In a certain area on the arrival floor of Soekarno-Hatta Airport, all the evacuees of British Airways 1009 have been concentrated in this area.After general inquiries, fortunately, no one on the plane responded to serious injuries.

However, this is just the simplest screening.Soon, the airport's medical department organized staff to start a more detailed examination of the passengers of British Airways 1009 in sequence, and took those passengers who were considered to need further treatment to the hospital.

Perhaps because of the arrival of volcanic ash, other flights were unable to take off and land, and there is no improvement in the foreseeable future.A large number of people in the terminal building left, and the arrival floor was even more empty.The area where Xu Cang and others were concentrated was in the transit hall on the arrival floor. At first glance, apart from the people on their own flight, the rest were the airport staff who came to support them. There were no other normal passengers.

Xu Cang sat in the corner without even a chair. There was a bottle of mineral water beside him, which was distributed by the airport just now. One bottle per person, Xu Cang had already drank most of it.

When he got off the plane and relaxed a little, Xu Cang went to the bathroom stall to see himself.Due to the presence of volcanic ash, a large amount of black ash was wiped away from the side face. There was still some solidified dark red blood on the upper lip and chin, and the eyes were even more bloodshot, making it look extremely hideous.

After wiping his face at the sink in the bathroom, Xu Cang went back to the main army and saw that the airport was doing a physical examination for the crowd.Because there were more than 5 people on this flight, and there was only one medical team arranged by the airport, the speed of inspection was very slow.Xu Cang waited for [-] minutes, feeling that his turn was nowhere in sight, and he was tired of standing, so he simply sat on the ground, not paying attention to his image at all.

After Xu Cang sat down, he felt unprecedentedly quiet. He could even hear the beating of his heart in his chest, which was so powerful and surging.

Xu Cang has never been a narcissistic person, but just now his idea of ​​using the method of reverse propulsion in the air to swing away the volcanic ash cloud and complete the final landing is really wild, even Xu Cang thinks this method is really ingenious.

The difficulty of manipulating the landing this time is not high, at least for Xu Cang, but in terms of the ingenuity of the idea, together with the special circumstances that Xu Cang has dealt with before, none of them can compare to this.

Xu Cang has not recovered from the shock just now, and his spirit is extremely high, but after a while, fatigue will overwhelm him like a tide, so Xu Cang needs to finish some things before he rests.

Taking out his mobile phone, Xu Cang fiddled with it, but there was no signal.

Looking into the crowd for a moment, he located the responsible captain Jonathan, and immediately shouted: "Captain!"

The captain in charge was still waiting in line for inspection at that time, when he heard Xu Cang's voice and looked back, he immediately saw Xu Cang waving at him.

The captain was very obedient, he just gave up queuing and ran to Xu Cang's side: "What's the matter, what's wrong with you?"

At this time, although Xu Cang washed his face to remove the dust and blood stains, his face looked like white paper, which was definitely not good.

"It's okay." Xu Cang waved his hand: "Can your mobile phone make calls now?"

"Ah? Oh, yes, do you want to make a call?" The captain in charge immediately took out the mobile phone and handed it to Xu Cang: "Do you want to report to your family that they are safe?"

Xu Cang took the phone and hummed.

According to the time, it is estimated that the news of British Airways 1009 accident has been received in China, and he has to make a phone call to report that he is safe, so that no one is still worried.

As a result, Xu Cang took the phone and was about to make a call, but he was suddenly stunned. He remembered that making an international call was different from a domestic call. He needed to add the country’s access code and area code. Xu Cang forgot how to make a call. up.

Xu Cang clicked his lips, lowered his head and thought for a while, and finally gave up directly, intending to ask the captain in charge.But when he raised his head, he saw an old man who was willing to give up [-]% of his net worth in exchange for his life in the first-class cabin approaching from a distance.

The old man came slowly on crutches, saw Xu Cang sitting on the ground, with an inexplicable smile on his face: "It's a pity, you didn't land on the ground as agreed, otherwise you would get money that you can't spend in ten lifetimes." gone."

Xu Cang rolled his eyes and didn't bother to pay attention to him.

The old man smiled, but he didn't mind Xu Cang's reaction: "I just heard the captain talk about the way you landed. I can only say that you are very imaginative, not bad, not bad!"

"It would be even better if you could give me one-tenth of your net worth." Xu Cang has no interest in such things that are limited to lip service.

"Hahaha, this is not possible. To be a human being, you need to pay attention to credibility. The way we agreed to land was a forced landing at sea. Although you also landed in the end, I am afraid that the agreement cannot be fulfilled." The old man laughed: "However, you put me The seat belt is down, I should thank you. If you encounter some troubles in England one day, I can help you once."

Xu Cang raised his eyebrows, this is the really meaningful thing mentioned.In fact, with Xu Cang's eyesight, of course it can be seen that this old man's status is extraordinary, and this kind of promise is still somewhat useful.

"You mean anything?" Xu Cang asked.

"Of course it can't be anything. Of course it's within reason. I believe you have a sense of proportion and know what can be brought up."

Xu Cang slandered, this kind of promise that he can decide on his own is the most annoying.However, it is better to have than to have nothing, in case it is really useful someday.

"Then if I really need to ask you for help, how should I ask you?"

The old man laughed, turned around, and walked away, leaving only one sentence: "My surname is Capet. As long as you set foot on British soil, anyone you ask will know how to find me."

"Capet?" Xu Cang curled his lips, left a last name, what's the matter, muttered, Xu Cang looked at the captain in charge: "Do you know him, what is Capet?"

The captain in charge had a strange expression on his face. He looked thoughtfully at the old man's back and murmured, "I don't know him, but I know Capet. Maybe you can read French history."

"What, isn't he British?" Xu Cang waved his hand, and didn't bother to pay attention to such a wealthy family, which had nothing to do with him.

"By the way, you know how to make an international call. I want to call back to my country." Xu Cang approached the captain in charge, asking him to do a favor.

"If you call back to China, you need to add 86 first." The captain in charge dialed the number for Xu Cang, and talked about other things in the gap: "Just now our company called me, saying that the Indonesian General Administration will come. At that time, I guess you will go there too."

Xu Cang spent most of his energy fiddling with his mobile phone, casually coping: "What am I going to do, I'm just doing a little favor."

"How can this be a small favor! Isn't there an old saying over there, turning the tide and helping the building to collapse, how can it be described as a small favor?" The captain in charge said: "Don't worry, this place in Jakarta There is our company's office nearby. You just need to go to the Indonesian bureau to briefly talk about the situation, and we will help you with other troublesome matters."

"Tsk." Xu Cang didn't answer. After a lot of trouble, he finally dialed all the numbers. He hurriedly called Qin Xin, but after waiting for a while, he reported that the phone had been turned off.

"Well, did you fall asleep?" Xu Cang waited for a while, then hung up the phone.It is indeed night in China now, and it is also possible that Qin Xin has already fallen asleep.

That being the case, Xu Cang didn't care about it, returned the phone to the captain in charge, stretched his waist, and turned to the crowded crowd: "Is anyone injured now?"

"Not for the time being. One of them has a bad heart. He must have been frightened. He took nitroglycerin tablets, and he has stabilized now." The captain in charge pointed to a place where people gathered not far away. A middle-aged woman who looked 50 to [-] years old was being supported by medical staff. She looked a little weak, but she was still conscious.

"Scared, when did I get scared? I don't think I made any major maneuvers, did I?" Xu Cang said casually, but there was a little guilt in his tone.

The captain in charge smiled: "Before landing, the No. [-] engine exploded inside, and the movement was indeed louder. It is said that it scared the passengers."

"Ahem." Xu Cang pretended to clear his throat: "That passenger...doesn't it be me who did it?"

"Ah?" The captain in charge didn't understand Xu Cang's meaning at first, but after thinking about it, he immediately understood. I dare say that Xu Cang was worried that that person would cause trouble.So, he immediately reassured Xu Cang: "Don't worry, even if she wants compensation, she won't be able to find you, and we will stop everything."

Upon hearing this, Xu Cang laughed immediately: "Okay, okay, this is not bad!"

Immediately, Xu Cang stood up and dusted off his clothes: "After the inspection, if there is no problem, how will people arrange it?"

"Our crew will return to the hotel for the night. Passengers who have no physical problems are willing to leave on their own. If it is inconvenient, the company will arrange accommodation."

Xu Cang snorted: "Then remember to arrange a place for me."

"I'm joking, you will definitely go with us. You won't be with passengers. Don't worry, our company's overnight hotel here is a five-star hotel, which will satisfy you."

After finishing speaking, the captain in charge snapped his fingers at the flight attendant not far away, and the flight attendant hurried over: "Captain, what's the matter?"

"The email from the company to the overnight hotel hasn't been sent yet." The captain pointed to Xu Cang: "Let the company add Xu Cang's name as well."

Generally speaking, overnight hotels have agreements with airlines.The crew’s accommodation plan will be packaged and emailed to the overnight hotel in advance, and the overnight hotel can only open rooms for the crew according to the list of permits.If the name is not on the list and the hotel gives that person a room, the airline will refuse to pay for the room.

However, if there is an unplanned situation such as an alternate landing, the crew needs to remind the company to send an email to the hotel temporarily, otherwise it will be difficult to open a room later.

Originally, the crew planned to call the company after a preliminary physical examination to confirm the list of re-entry personnel.In this way, it was just for the purser to add Xu Cang's name, so as not to get into trouble when opening a room after getting the hotel.

"Captain, he is not from our company, so it may not be easy to handle."

Xu Cang's spoken language is not very good, which doesn't mean he's hard of hearing, he probably understood what the purser was saying, and hurriedly said: "Forget about the trouble, I'll go with the passenger, if it's convenient, arrange a private room for me. "

Xu Cang is not very interested in five-star hotels.

However, the captain waved his hand directly: "You can just tell the company, if you have any questions, just push them to me, I think the company will agree."

"This...Okay." The captain has already mentioned this point, and the flight attendant can't say any more, so he politely said to Xu Cang immediately: "Mr. Xu, I need your passport."

Xu Cang hurriedly gave the passport to the chief purser, and the chief purser would then inform the company of Xu Cang's information and ask the company to attach Xu Cang's passport information when sending emails.

After waiting for a while, a short and dapper Indonesian ran over. This man was British Airways' agent at Soekarno-Hatta Airport.He ran over and whispered a few words to the captain in charge, the captain in charge showed a hint of joy, and waved his hands to tell the charge d'affaires to go to work.

"We don't have to wait here anymore, the company has arranged a car to pick you up. If you feel unwell, we'll go to the hotel for treatment." The captain in charge told Xu Cang, then called the second captain and the flight attendant. gestured.These two people should also know that the company sent another person over, so they immediately understood and began to greet other crew members to go through another passage.

Before leaving, the captain in charge called Leo and Song Xinyang over alone, after all, their identities were not ordinary.

"Mr. Leo, we plan to go back to the hotel first, you can make an arrangement, if not, come with us?" said the captain in charge.

Leo looked at Xu Cang, smiled and said: "Don't worry about me, I have already contacted you, you can leave on your own. But, Mr. Song, what is your arrangement?"

"Someone will come to pick me up soon, so don't worry about me." Song Xinyang said with a strange look in his eyes, and asked, "Where is the hotel you are staying at?"

"Sahidya!" said the captain in charge.

"The treatment of British Airways is very good, and the overnight hotels are all five-star." Leo joked, it seemed that he was in a good mood after giving birth after the disaster.

"Mr. Leo is too much." The captain in charge said with a smile, "Since both of you have arrangements, we will leave first."

At the end, Song Xinyang slightly nodded towards Xu Cang: "Mr. Xu, you should still be in Jakarta tomorrow, right?"

"Well, the Indonesian side said that the bureau wants to talk, so they probably won't leave tomorrow." Xu Cang asked strangely, "What's wrong?"

Song Xinyang said seriously: "Tomorrow I will talk to Mr. Xu about the matter."

Although Xu Cang probably guessed that Song Xinyang would change his attitude towards cooperation after seeing his own strength, but he never expected that the change would come so quickly, thinking that he should discuss it with Luo Luo headquarters before making a decision.

"En." Although he was pleasantly surprised, Xu Cang still restrained his mind and did not show it. Negotiating matters like this depends on who can hold their breath.Although the incident of British Airways 1009 was really closed, the effect it produced was amazing enough.

Using the method of pushing away the volcanic ash in the air, who in the world would have thought of it?

When Xu Cang left, Leo looked at Song Xinyang pointedly: "It seems that Luo Luo is also very interested in Mr. Xu."

"Yeah, who isn't interested in him?" Song Xinyang sighed: "Technology, IQ, and insight are all unparalleled top-notch. As long as this kind of person has a little training, he is the best test pilot. A good pilot How much effort our test pilots can save us!"

At the end, Song Xinyang also looked at Leo: "Or is it that Airbus is not interested in such a person?"

"Unfortunately, he doesn't seem to be interested in this, so it's not easy to handle." Speaking of this, Leo suddenly felt less interested: "Forget it, Mr. Song, the person who picked me up is here, and he will sit with me when he has a chance. Sit down."

Song Xinyang nodded: "Definitely!"

Xu Cang followed the flight crew to the Sahidya Hotel, but did not encounter any problems during the check-in process. When he arrived, he tried to call Qin Xin with the captain's mobile phone, but he still couldn't get through.

That being the case, Xu Cang ignored it for the time being, went back to his room to take a shower, and then fell asleep.

It was not until the sun was shining brightly the next day that Xu Cang woke up dizzy.Looking at the clock on the bedside, it was almost one o'clock in the afternoon, and I had slept for more than thirteen hours, which was really ridiculously tight.

Looking out the window, it was still foggy outside at the moment, but the volcanic ash didn't look serious, and it seemed that it had almost dispersed. In this way, the eruption of Kelude Volcano was not very long-lasting.

If that kind of continuous eruption, the volcanic ash here in Jakarta would not dissipate so quickly.

However, this is also good.If the volcanic eruption is too severe and the volcanic ash coverage is too serious, it will be quite troublesome if the flight cannot get in or out. After all, he is still in a hurry to return home.

According to the previous responsible captain Jonathan, there will be an interview with the Indonesian authorities today, but so far no one has disturbed him.Thinking about it, the schedule is pretty good, but it didn't affect my sleep.

It's just that after sleeping for more than ten hours in a row, my spirit has recovered a lot, but my stomach has long been empty.However, after sweeping around the room, I found that apart from some drinks, there was nothing else to cushion my stomach.

However, the hotel restaurant should still be open at one o'clock in the afternoon, so it's good to have a meal.

So, Xu Cang boiled a pot of water and took advantage of the time to wash up.However, after what happened yesterday, some dark gray stains and a slightly unpleasant smell remained on the clothes. In addition, Xu Cang found that there were a few inconspicuous blood spots on it, which should be from his nose. of blood dripping on it.

Fortunately Xu Cang brought a change of clothes, but looking at the old clothes that were dusty and bloody, Xu Cang yelled in his heart that it was a pity, it probably couldn't be washed clean.

Boom boom boom!
Just as Xu Cang was changing into clean clothes, there was a sudden knock on the door.Xu Cang thought it was customer service, so he didn't think too much, he straightened his clothes and went to open the door.

As a result, when the door opened, it was not the waiter of the hotel, but Qin Xin with red eyes.

"Why are you here?" Xu Cang couldn't imagine that Qin Xin would be here.

However, at this moment, Qin Xin's hair was slightly disheveled, her face was full of exhaustion, and her eyes were red like a bunny.Xu Cang was stunned for a moment, and then thought of a terrible possibility: "Could you have rushed here overnight from Erhai Lake?"

Thinking about not being able to get through to Qin Xin's cell phone last night, Xu Cang immediately felt that it was very possible.There is often no signal on the mountain road from Erhai Lake to Jianchuan.

In other words, Qin Xin drove seven or eight hours overnight to Jianchuan, and then flew from Jianchuan to Jakarta in the morning, no wonder Qin Xin looked so busy.

Qin Xin didn't answer Xu Cang, but her eyes were red, and even tears rolled in her eyes: "Xu Cang, if you continue to behave like this in the future, I will leave you alone!"

As she said that, the tears accumulated in Qin Xin's eyes could no longer be controlled, they merged into a sad line and slid down from her cheeks.

Previously, Xu Cang said that this trip to England was for Luo Luo.This reason seemed above board, but when Xu Cang talked about it with Qin Xin, his expression was obviously abnormal.However, out of trust in Xu Cang, Qin Xin didn't ask any further questions, and this happened unexpectedly.

Although it was just a very irresponsible guess, Qin Xin felt that Xu Cang did not go to the Rolls-Royce headquarters in England, but because of the flight accident that almost caused an air crash.

Qin Xin was annoyed at Xu Cang's concealment from him, and even more annoyed at Xu Cang's risking himself.On the way, she once thought that when she saw Xu Cang again, she must give him a good lesson, but when she really saw her, everything turned into grievances.

Seeing Qin Xin's pear blossoms with rain, Xu Cang seemed to have returned to the days when Qin Xin and Qin Xin lived together in later generations.However, Xu Cang at this moment is like a child who has made a mistake, guilty and doesn't know how to explain it.

He forced out an ugly smile: "Uh, well, it wasn't that dangerous at first, but it deviated a little bit from the expected situation. But, it's okay."

Indeed, if it follows the development of the Great Britain Air Disaster in memory, it is indeed not that dangerous. After all, Xu Cang is not a desperado who wants money but not life.

Of course, what Xu Cang refers to as a deviation is only a modification of the language, so whether it is a [-] metric or a million metric is actually very clear.

"It's all right!?" Qin Xin looked Xu Cang up and down, as if there was nothing wrong with her, she wrinkled her nose like a lazy kitten, and finally pouted angrily: "I'm fine. hungry!"

About 10 minutes later, Xu Cang led Qin Xin, who had recovered from his emotions, down to the lobby on the first floor.Qin Xin drove overnight, so naturally she didn't care about eating, and when she was on the plane, she was too worried, how could she have an appetite?

It's strange that I haven't eaten a drop of water until now, so I'm not hungry.

Although Qin Xin left in a hurry, she still brought a card, thinking that it would be nothing to eat at the hotel at her own expense.As a result, Xu Cang's stingy nature broke out, and he gave Qin Xin a hard lesson, saying that he must always have the spirit of being diligent and thrifty in managing the house, so he resolutely went to the front desk to ask for food supplements.

The emails sent by the airline company to the hotel usually include the amount of meal allowances. Although Xu Cang is not from British Airways, since British Airways agreed to include his name in the emails, there must be meal allowances.

In line with the concept of being cheap and not taking advantage of bastards, Xu Cang will definitely take advantage of British Airways today.

As a result, Xu Cang really received a meal coupon at the front desk.However, this meal coupon does not have a specific amount, but the hotel has specially designed several sets of packages for the crew. With this meal coupon, you can choose a set meal by yourself.

Of course, if the crew wants to choose dishes other than the set meal, it is also possible, and they can also get a [-]% discount.

"Look, just for the [-]% discount, it's worth our trip, and you said just now that you don't need it!" Xu Cang looked at the meal coupon in his hand very satisfied, and turned around to "rebuke" Qin Xin.Now, Qin Xin's mood is much better, and Xu Cang started to shriek again.

He put away the meal coupons, and said to Qin Xin with a smile: "You have enough money in your card, I want to eat big lobster!"

Qin Xin looked at Xu Cang, who was like a child, rather amusedly, and said helplessly, "Eat it, you can eat lobster as a meal."

"Then you said it." Xu Cang was full of ambition, and immediately prepared to take Qin Xin to the second floor for dinner.

However, as soon as he left, a familiar voice came from the gate: "Mr. Xu!"

Hearing this, Xu Cang subconsciously looked towards the gate, but a tall and burly white man called him.

Xu Cang recalled a little bit, isn't this voice the Richard, the chairman of the World Federation of Aviation Pilots Association that he heard on the plane before?

"Huh? It's you?" Xu Cang stopped and looked at this powerful person in surprise.Previously, it was this man who directly asked the International Civil Aviation Organization and the Indonesian Civil Aviation Authority to issue a double temporary authorization for the satellite landing system.

But, shouldn't this guy be at British Airways headquarters? Why did he get here the next day?

Richard seemed to be over 1.9 meters tall, half a head taller than Xu Cang, and he had a strong figure and an imposing manner like hell.When he walked, he was really vigorous, and when he came in front of Xu Cang, he was even more aggressive.

"I said, if you survive, I will come to you." Richard put his hands behind his back like a mountain.In front of him, Xu Cang seemed extremely insignificant. This is the majesty formed over the years, and this is the courage of the leader of global pilots.

Xu Cang restrained his relaxed mood with Qin Xin, and turned his gaze to seriousness: "What do you want me for?"

"You are very good! No, very good! Such a talent is certainly worth my trip." Richard smiled: "On the way here, I talked to Jonathan on the phone. The reverse propulsion was launched in the air, and the engine exploded. The shock wave swept away the volcanic ash, tsk tsk tsk, Xu Cang, your thinking is really unconstrained and unconstrained!"

Although Richard is white, he can speak Chinese very well, but this contrast makes Xu Cang feel a little uncomfortable.

"Thank you!" Xu Cang lowered his brows slightly, obviously not very happy to deal with the apex of the pilot: "If there's nothing else, I'm going to eat."

"Haha, Mr. Xu! I feel that you will be interested in hearing something, at least more important than lunch."

Xu Cang frowned: "What do you mean?"

"Xu Cang! You are very powerful, but during the final approach, did you ignore the terrain warning and forcefully land? Moreover, the regulations prohibit the use of thrust reversers in the air." Richard chuckled: "CAA's respect for you It's very unpleasant to do!"

Xu Cang rolled his eyes: "I am under the management of CAAC, but I don't care about CAA's attitude."

"However, CAA has applied to CAAC for the right to investigate you!"

"What?" Xu Cang's face suddenly darkened: "Are you being too lenient?"

"It's not a day or two since the British like to meddle in their own business!" At this moment, another young man with a Chinese appearance walked over from a distance. He walked up to Xu Cang wearing a pair of sunglasses, and politely extended his Right hand: "Hi, Mr. Xu, I'm Luo Ming from Lockheed Martin!"
