Return to 2000: Captain of the Great Powers

Chapter 265 Khorne!Butcher!First kill! (Please subscribe!)

In East Hartford, Connecticut, USA, there is a huge building complex on the outskirts of this small city, and the owner of this building complex is Pratt & Whitney, one of the world's aerospace giants.

Usually, you can always hear the noisy sound of engine testing in the test field of Pratt & Whitney headquarters, but today there is rarely any movement. It is just that this PW6000 is still hanging on the engine test field, and many people are busy under it. It seems to be preparing for something.

And there is a high platform not far from the engine test site, on which is an observation room with high-strength glass as the wall.One side of this observation room faces the open-air engine test field, and the other side faces the indoor engine workshop. It can almost have a panoramic view of the entire front-line engine department.

Among them, Clark, the president of Pratt & Whitney Power, stared solemnly at the PW6000 engine hoisted in the open air in the distance. Beside Clark, Yu Chen, CEO of General Electric, looked at this latest Pratt & Whitney turbofan engine with great interest.

"It seems that your PW6000 will be launched on the market before our GENx." Yu Chen said with a smile: "Then you still have this expression, isn't that enough?"

Clark looked solemn. He didn't like the CEO of General Electric very much, but as a colleague and a senior executive of General Electric, he couldn't be cold-faced. It has already been won by your GE777, and you still don’t think it’s enough.”

Yu Chen knew that Clark didn't have a good impression of him personally, so he just smiled out of politeness: "The price of the Boeing 777 is too expensive, and it is doomed that the market for this model will not be too big. Even if it is GE90 won the Boeing 777 market, and its profit is not as much as you think."

The price of the Boeing 777 has reached three times that of the Boeing 737, which has indeed reached a level that is daunting.Only such large airlines have the strength to purchase the Boeing 777, and even the Boeing 777 has adopted many new technologies, and at the same time listened to the opinions of a large number of airlines at the beginning of research and development, but what is the future of this model? Time to test.

Due to commercial uncertainty and unimaginable trial-and-error costs, even large airlines have been cautious in purchasing Boeing 777s.If this falls into the hands, it will be close to one billion US dollars, no one can stand it.

It is precisely because of the cautious attitude of airlines towards Boeing 777 that global shipments of Boeing 777 are not high, which makes GE not actually making a lot of money on GE90, at least not as broad as Clarke described.

"So you want to make GE90 a little smaller, and then occupy a wider market? Don't you need to compete with our PW6000 in the end?" Clark asked rhetorically.

In any case, the GE90 is too big, and its diameter even exceeds the fuselage diameter of a Boeing 737.Due to its huge size, it can only be used on the Boeing 777 at present, and the scope of application is too narrow, which further limits the upper limit of this engine.

Therefore, the reduced version GENx derived from GE90 as a template came into being.Its volume will be a whole circle smaller than that of GE90, so that there are many more aircraft that can be equipped with GENx.It's just that General Electric's road to modifying GENx is obviously not very smooth, so that Pratt & Whitney can hear related news.

However, once GENx is successfully developed, the market it covers will overlap with Pratt & Whitney's newly launched PW6000.In this way, it's no wonder Clark has a good face towards Yu Chen.

"It's not the first time this kind of thing happened. Doesn't your V2500 engine compete with my CFM56 engine? Are we still in peace?" Yu Chen said with a smile: "The market will decide what matters in the market." .”

Clark withdrew his gaze from PW6000, took a few steps back, found a sofa and sat down, and said quietly, "Then why did you come here?"

Yu Chen turned around, faced Clark, raised his right hand, and pointed to an unassembled engine in the center of the engine power workshop: "That. PW8000."

Clark's expression froze, but he still controlled his situation well, and said in a flat voice: "You still care about an engine that doesn't even have a prototype?"

As mentioned in the conversation between Song Xinyang and Rolls-Royce chief engineer Joe, Pratt & Whitney is indeed developing the PW8000 engine.However, outsiders like Luo Luo can't know the specific development progress.

In fact, the progress of the PW8000 is not even as good as Rolls-Royce's Trent 1000.At least, the Trent 1000 barely has a prototype that can be tested, and after debugging, it may not be possible to conduct flight tests.However, there is not even a prototype of the PW8000 so far.

"May I venture to ask, will the PW8000 really enter the prototype stage?"

Yu Chen’s words actually have a lot of meaning behind them. What does it mean that PW8000 will really enter the prototype stage?That means that it is possible that no prototype of the PW8000 will be born, which also means that Pratt & Whitney still has doubts about the feasibility of the PW8000.

Clark sighed: "I didn't expect you to know so much."

Yu Chen smiled and said: "This circle is so big, it can't reach the British across the Atlantic, but it can still reach my ears. Single-stage fan, three-stage booster compressor, five-stage high-pressure compressor, one-stage High-pressure turbine, three-stage low-pressure turbine. Tsk tsk tsk, the number of engine stages has been reduced so much all of a sudden, it’s no wonder you’re still hesitant.”

Geared turbofan engine, that's the way the PW8000 engine is going now.Obviously, even if it is as strong as Pratt & Whitney, it still has not made a good decision since it announced the project more than two years ago.

This involves the problem of the reducer installed therein.

In a high-thrust high-bypass turbofan engine, the fan is directly driven by the low-pressure turbine, but this creates an unavoidable disadvantage that neither the booster compressor nor the low-pressure turbine can operate at their optimum speed. Work.

The main reason for this is that because the fan is directly connected to the low pressure turbine, and compared to the internal turbine, the speed of the fan causes the diameter to be too large, and its speed is at a lower level, which drives the supercharged air directly connected to it. The engine and low-pressure turbine are also at low speeds, which are well below their optimum speeds.

Because the rotational speed of the low-pressure turbine is too low, in order to meet the performance requirements of the engine, the same performance effect can only be obtained by increasing the number of stages of the booster compressor and the low-pressure turbine.

However, having too many engine stages is not a good thing.It results in lower efficiency, higher pollution, louder noise and higher maintenance difficulty and cost.

Therefore, it seems feasible to let the low-pressure turbine drive the booster compressor first, and then drive the fan by the reducer.

Under such a design, it can ensure that the low-pressure turbine and the booster compressor can achieve a sufficiently good speed without affecting the fan.However, in large turbofan engines, there has never been a relevant design before, because in fact, not many people have confidence in the safe and reliable operation of the reducer at high speed and high power.

Clark was only a little surprised at the beginning when Yuchen mentioned his reducer, but soon calmed down.Yes, the circle is so big. It is even said that the engineers and managers of General Electric and Pratt & Whitney Power have quit each other. It is strange that the news can be covered.

"So what if I know." Clark seemed uninterested. It seemed that the matter of the PW8000 engine had tortured him for a long time, and the PW8000 had dragged on for a long time. Such awareness.

Yu Chen smiled and said, "Knowing your difficulties, I naturally came to solve your problems."

Clark raised his eyebrows: "Is there such a good thing?"

Clark's performance appeared to be very restrained, obviously just taking Yu Chen's words as a joke.

"It is indeed unprecedented to install a reducer in the engine, and it is normal for you to be uncertain. After all, it is hard to imagine any reducer that can withstand the speed of [-] rpm and the transmission power of more than [-] kilowatts .”

"Did you come here on purpose to repeat our question?" Clark sneered.

"No, I misunderstood." Yu Chen said: "Well, since you don't have the confidence to fully develop the gear drive engine, why not give it to us. For your reducer, we will give you a price that satisfies you."

At this moment, Clark's eyes widened suddenly, and he said in disbelief, "You want to buy our planetary gear technology?"

That's right, the reducer used on the PW8000 engine is exactly the planetary gear that Xu Cang dreamed of.

"I didn't express it clearly enough?" Yu Chen nodded: "All the patents of your planetary gears are transferred to us, so that you don't have to worry about whether to promote the PW8000 engine project. Isn't it the best of both worlds?"

Yu Chen's words directly touched Clark's heart.It is true that Pratt & Whitney has huge funds and can support the simultaneous development of two engines.However, the situation with the PW8000 is somewhat special.As Yu Chen said, the geared engine is indeed unprecedented, even if it is as strong as Pratt & Whitney, it has no foundation in the application of this technology. It is even estimated by its own technical department that the probability of the final success of the PW8000 project is less than [-]%.

Now it is not like before. An engine project costs billions of dollars in investment, and the success rate of less than 98% has caused Pratt & Whitney to struggle for almost three years.Otherwise, with the strength of Pratt & Whitney, even the prototype has not been produced since the project was established in [-], which is really out of standard.

Pratt & Whitney's power department dare not invest too much money in the PW8000 engine project. Once the money is invested too much, the huge sunk cost will engulf the entire power department and it is difficult to turn back.However, it is a pity that the planetary gear technology is not needed after being developed, so now the entire Pratt & Whitney power department is in such a state of twisting.

I have to say that Yu Chen did provide a good idea.Sell ​​the planetary gear technology patents to GM in a package, so that you can earn a lot of transfer fees, and you don't have to worry about whether to promote the PW8000 engine. It is indeed the best of both worlds.

However, out of intuition, Clark always felt that Yu Chen was digging holes for him.

"What do you want planetary gear technology for? As far as I know, you General Electric doesn't have a place where you can use planetary gears?"

"Aren't you thinking too much about this? You can't know all the plans of our General Electric, right? Whether you can use planetary gears is not something you should care about?"

However, even if what Yu Chen said was reasonable, Clark still instinctively doubted it.He pondered for a moment, and finally said: "Let me think about this matter again."

As soon as Yu Chen heard this, he knew that Clark was inclined not to do this business.There is no way, Yu Chen's proposal is too abrupt.Clark would rather have the planetary gear rotten in his hands than give it to GM.

"Oh." Yu Chen was also a little distressed. Clark had suffered from dealing with him before, so he was naturally wary of him.Now that I think about it, I'm afraid I shouldn't have come here in person.

Seeing Yu Chen's reaction, Clark couldn't help being curious: "What on earth are you going to do? Do you think I will agree to such an unreasonable proposal?"

"You're right. This proposal is indeed easy to arouse some imagination." Yu Chen didn't hide it either: "It's true that we at General Electric don't need planetary gears, but there are others who need them, and that's the reason."

As he said that, Yuchen told Clark that Xu Cang wanted to use planetary gear technology to solve the low-pressure fan material, which made Clark feel that Xu Cang was very creative.

"We developed the planetary gear technology to increase the speed of the booster compressor and the low-pressure turbine, and it is to reduce the speed of the fan in the opposite direction. It is a very interesting idea, interesting, interesting." Clark laughed: "Is that Xu Cang? I'd really like to meet this guy if I get the chance."

"We at General Electric have encountered some problems with GENx, and we may need his help to conduct flight tests. But this person will not accept soft and hard, and can only use planetary gear technology as a bargaining chip." Yu Chen asked: "Do you think this reason how?"

Clark retorted: "Is there anything you GE can't do?"

"That is, after all, your PW6000 is derived from the core of the XTC-66 fighter jet engine in the IHPTET plan. There are no technical barriers, so naturally you don't need to work hard to break through. I just don't know if you Pratt & Whitney are willing to give us this favor?"

Clark thought for a while: "But if your successful development of GENx is not a good thing for us, why should I help you?"

“这样。”禹晨说道：“波音的7E7项目想必你也是知道的。我可以向你透露的是，波音7E7的动力系统有意选用我司的GENx以及罗罗未来的遄达1000。”

"Impossible, Rolls-Royce's Trent 1000 engine prototype has just taken shape, how could Boeing bet on such an engine for a new generation of wide-body aircraft?" Clark felt unreliable at first.

The GENx engine is more likely in the end. After all, GM has cooperated with Boeing a lot, and the near water is the first to win.In addition, GENx was born out of GE90 and has a good foundation. Even though it encounters some difficulties now, the overall project prospect is still optimistic.

"Could it be wrong to get the news based on our long-term cooperation with Boeing? Of course, this is only a preliminary idea. Even the name of the 7E7 project has not been finalized. Naturally, the pre-planned power selection can also be changed." Yu Chen said with a smile: "Rolo is not that popular in Europe anymore. As long as we work harder to knock it down completely, the future aero-engine market will be divided equally between you and me. Wouldn't it be more comfortable for one more person to share the cake than now?"

It can only be said that due to the continuous setbacks of the Concorde and the A380, Rolls-Royce has already experienced a very obvious disadvantage in the competition among the three major aerospace giants. The idea of ​​giant ranks.

Taking advantage of your illness to kill you is universally applicable.

Clark was really interested when he mentioned this, and he said solemnly, "How do you want to operate?"

"Boeing is still just a preliminary idea, and there is a high chance of changes. The aircraft of the 7E7 project is likely to be between the size of the 737 and the 777. I think this will be an aircraft with better applicability. If Rollo-Royce is excluded from this project, then in the next ten years, Rollo-Royce will have no more gains, and can only eat the profits of the previous Trent 700, which will not last long." Yu Chen said: "We will work hard to lobby Boeing In the 7E7 project, what do you think of replacing the power option of the Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 with your Pratt & Whitney? Of course, lobbying here may cost a lot, and Pratt & Whitney must bear part of it. After all, you can also get real benefits real benefit."

In the United States, lobbying is a legal and extensive business, and there are even many specialized lobbying companies.Of course, the cost of lobbying a company of Boeing's size is quite staggering.

Although suppressing Rollo is the common interest of both GM and Pratt & Whitney, it is undoubtedly unacceptable for GM to pay for lobbying alone. They are not benevolent people who sacrifice themselves for others.

"Are you sure?" Clark asked.

Yu Chen pondered for a moment: "If you ask me to give a chance now, I definitely can't give it. We have a good relationship with Boeing, but it is impossible to fully understand the thoughts of Boeing people. I can only say that there is a relatively high possibility. As far as I know, the power requirement of the 7E7 project should be about 35 tons of thrust per engine, is there any engine series in your company that meets this requirement?"

“推力35吨？”克拉克稍稍思索了下：“只有PW4000的衍生系列PW4000-112符合要求，这本是为了适配波音777而设计的，如果改一下，感觉可以符合7E7的要求。”

"PW4000-112? That 112-inch-diameter fan engine?" General Electric, the main power provider for the Boeing 777, knew a lot about its competitors. As soon as Clark said it, Yu Chen remembered it.

Clark snorted: "That's right, it's the PW777 that is only equipped with Boeing 100-4000."

波音777跟波音737一样也有不少子型号，比如777-100，777-200等。在最原始的777-100型号的动力选择中，PW4000-112发动机也是选项之一，只不过没有GE90那么受欢迎而已。

但是，之后的777-200型号已经全部采用GE90了，PW4000-112发动机已经完全没有市场了。

"Isn't this better?" Yu Chen smiled with embarrassment: "This can also share part of the research and development costs on the PW4000-112 engine."

Clark thought for a while. Although he hated Yu Chen, this proposal was quite good.At least Yuchen shared his interests in this matter, and if he could use "relatively large" to describe the possibility of successful lobbying, it would be enough for investment.

"Okay, I accept your proposal." Clark said, "I will send someone over to discuss the details with you."

Yu Chen clapped his hands and smiled: "Very good. But what about the planetary gear?"

"Just in case, I still can't give you the planetary gear. However, I won't sell it to Xu Cang easily. Of course, I can't give you a guarantee. If he can make a condition that I can't refuse, I will You can't ignore the interests of the company. However, I don't think he can give me anything that makes my heart beat."

Yu Chen felt that it was enough to get such a reply.Not only did Clark think so, but Yu Chen also felt that Xu Cang couldn't offer any conditions that could make Puhui tempted.In this way, as long as Pratt & Whitney doesn't give the planetary gears, then Xu Cang can cook without rice, which is relatively easy to handle.

……

Xu Cang and the others waited at the boarding gate for a while, but boarded the plane normally without delay.

The type of flight NH45 this time is not the Boeing 61 of NH747 in Xu Cang's memory, but the narrow-body Boeing 737.The flight number is different, and the aircraft type is also different, Xu Cang feels that he can sit back and relax.

Xu Cang is both the luckiest and the unluckiest.God gave him another chance, but all kinds of air crashes in history are like gangrene, and it is difficult to get rid of.At the beginning, Xu Cang had some thoughts of reversing the historical air disasters, but now, except for the domestic air disasters, he will help within the scope of his ability, after all, compatriots are still different.

Of course, the premise of everything is to ensure your own safety.As for foreign affairs, Xu Cang felt that it was better to forget it, and the mentality of a savior was not good.

The All Nippon Airways flight NH61 had casualties, Xu Cang felt that it was better to avoid it.Now that the flight number and aircraft type are not compatible, it should be no problem.

Xu Cang and the others got on the plane.Except for Xu Cang, the rest of the staff were in the economy class, and Xu Cang was alone in the first class.This flight was greeted by ANA and arranged by ANA.Naturally, it is unrealistic to have a first-class cabin for all the staff. It is still possible to reserve a first-class cabin for Xu Cang, at least with a good attitude.

However, when the passengers were about to finish boarding, Xu Cang found that the first class cabin was empty, and there were not many people there.

Seeing that the purser was not busy, Xu Cang called the purser over and asked if Xia Shuyue could be upgraded to first class.It should be that Guan Yueling had greeted the crew. For this kind of unreasonable upgrade application, the chief purser basically declined it tactfully.But after Xu Cang mentioned it, the flight attendant did not refuse immediately, but said to find time to ask the captain for instructions.

It is necessary to ask the captain for an upgrade, Xu Cang expressed his understanding, and the flight attendant was busy afterwards.

Until the end, Takashi Kuroda who was sitting next to Xu Cang on the waiting plane came in.It's just that Takashi Kuroda lost the enthusiasm he had when he first met him, and he moved the backpack from the back to the front, and folded his arms, looking a little nervous.

Xu Cang instinctively felt that this person seemed a little too nervous.However, Xu Cang didn't think too much about it. He wondered if it was because of flying. Some people still have a psychological fear of flying, and the cabin is inherently airtight, so it's quite uncomfortable for those who suffer from claustrophobia. pressure.

Compared with Takashi Kuroda's nervous performance, Xu Cang cared more about his name.Takashi Kuroda, he always felt that he had heard this name somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

However, as Takashi Kuroda entered the economy class, the purser took a break to ask the captain for instructions and then told Xu Cang that Xia Shuyue could be upgraded, and the doubtful thoughts disappeared.

Xia Shuyue was a little surprised at the fact that she was able to get an upgrade, thinking that Xu Cang's face is really big, even ANA can get a free upgrade with a word, which is a bit amazing.

The plane took off on time, during which Xu Cang chatted with Xia Shuyue about his plans for the next six months, and Xu Cang's arrangements for Xia Shuyue after he came back.

It must be selfish for Xu Cang to force Xia Shuyue into this list.Xu Cang is not a saint, and he also has other ideas of intimacy and estrangement.On Xu Cang's side, Xia Shuyue must belong to his own people, so Xu Cang intervened rarely in the matter of going to ANA for training, and included Xia Shuyue in it.

This half-year training at ANA is definitely a gold-plated experience.Xia Shuyue's qualifications are too low, and she has a lot of convenience at work. It's not convenient for Xu Cang to give Xia Shuyue, after all, he can't be too naked.

Xia Shuyue is indifferent, if Xu Cang treats her too differently, she will be easily isolated by others.With Xia Shuyue's temperament, once she is isolated, she will never think about how to integrate into it, but ignore it, which will make the isolation more likely to become serious.

Putting Xia Shuyueqiang into the list this time has caused a lot of dissatisfaction from the flight crew. If they give more, I am afraid it will turn the world upside down.In Xu Cang's plan, after returning from Japan this time, he had to deal with the gossip about Xia Shuyue in the crew.

Just rationalize the fact that Xia Shuyue came to ANA for training this time.The subsequent criticism of Xu Cang's promotion of Xia Shuyue will be much smaller.

In fact, this kind of thing is quite trivial, and Xu Cang doesn't think about it, so Xia Shuyue can make Xu Cang so caring.

However, Xu Cang could see that Xia Shuyue didn't seem to like Xu Cang's arrangements for her very much.It's just that Xu Cang had already made up his mind, and Xia Shuyue didn't want to reject Xu Cang's kindness, so he didn't say anything.

After talking for a while, Xu Cang felt sleepy.Almost as soon as the plane went into cruise, it started to lose consciousness.I don't know how long it took, when Xu Cang started to dream randomly, he was pushed by someone, and his consciousness returned, and then he smelled a fragrance in his nose, and then opened his eyes, and found that he had caught Xia Tian at some point. Shuyue's right hand, and Xia Shuyue found that Xu Cang was awake, and whispered: "It seems that the purser is looking for you."

"Purser." Xu Cang quickly let go of Xia Shuyue's hand, took a closer look, and found that the purser was really standing in the aisle next to him.

"What's wrong?" Xu Cang yawned.

The purser said softly: "Mr. Xu, the cockpit let you go over."

"Oh." Almost out of professional instinct, Xu Cang started to unbuckle his seat belt without even thinking about it, but when he was halfway through, he suddenly became clear-headed, and immediately asked: "Is the plane okay?"

The purser was stunned: "No problem."

"Then why should I go ahead?"

"I'm not very clear about the details, it seems to be the president's order." The purser said.

"President?" Xu Cang said in a daze, "Guan Yueling."

Xu Cang scratched his head, since Guan Yueling ordered it, then it doesn't hurt to go there.I just don't know what Guan Yueling is doing.

"I'll go to the front." Xu Cang unfastened his seat belt, explained to Xia Shuyue, and followed the purser to the front cabin.

Soon, after some necessary joining procedures, the cockpit door opened, Xu Cang entered the cabin, and found that the captain and co-pilot inside nodded to Xu Cang at the same time.

"Mr. Xu, meeting for the first time."

The captain looked to be in his 40s and was in good spirits, while the co-pilot didn't seem to be much younger, mainly because the co-pilot's hairline was really worrying, which made his visual age look a lot older.

Xu Cang closed the hatch, nodded in return, and asked at the same time, "What's wrong?"

"Mr. Xu, we have already arrived in the Tokyo area. The president told us that Mr. Xu is interested in our Mount Fuji, and the view from the cabin is not good, so he took the liberty to invite Mr. Xu to come to the cockpit. There are more views here." the captain explained.

"Ah? This matter." Only then did Xu Cang remember that he did mention to Guan Yueling that he was interested in Mount Fuji when he came to ANA last time.Of course, it's just for interest, there's no need to come to the cockpit.

However, Guan Yueling has a heart, and Xu Cang can't refuse, so he said: "Then disturb the captain."

"No, no." The captain hurriedly said: "The observer's position is still somewhat obstructed in terms of vision. Why don't Mr. Xu take the seat? On the right."

"Sir? Can I take a seat? Is JCAB so lenient about the requirements for a seat?" Xu Cang was stunned. He is now a simple passenger. Even if he is a pilot, he is also a pilot with a CAAC license. Can he take a seat?
However, Xu Cang didn't know much about the relevant regulations of the Japanese bureau, so he just raised a question.

"If it's someone else, it's definitely not allowed. However, as far as I know, Mr. Xu is an ICAO flight commissioner, and his qualifications can pass through the aircraft of all member states, so it is not illegal for Mr. Xu to take the seat." The captain laughed. .

"And this thing, I forgot." Xu Cang is now a flight commissioner of the World Civil Aviation Organization, and his flight license is indeed transnational. The captain of ANA is right.

This must have been what Guan Yueling told the captain, it took a lot of thought.

"Are you the flight specialist of the World Civil Aviation Organization?" The co-pilot didn't seem to know, and was quite surprised when he heard this: "You are so young."

Indeed, compared to other flight specialists of the World Civil Aviation Organization, Xu Cang is really too young.

"Good luck." Xu Cang said with a smile.

"Mr. Xu is too modest, your handling of special circumstances is enough for us to study for a lifetime." The captain complimented.

Such words made Xu Cang a little embarrassed.At the same time, the co-pilot was already unfastening his seat belt.

Soon, the co-pilot unfastened his seat belt, pulled the seat back, and left the seat to make room for Xu Cang.When the co-pilot got off, Xu Cang stepped in. He hadn't fastened his seat belt as soon as he sat down.

Suddenly, the cabin door seemed to be hit hard by something, and then there were faint noises from the cabin.

"What's wrong?" Xu Cang put his earphones in the air and looked at the captain in a daze.The sound just now really startled Xu Cang.

"I don't know." The captain scratched his head, and immediately said to the co-pilot, "Look at the monitor."

This 737 is relatively old-fashioned, and the control panel of the monitor is not on the center console, but on the rear roof.

At this moment, the co-pilot was standing in the entrance passage of the cockpit, and he hadn't even sat down yet.As soon as he raised his hand, he could just touch the control panel of the monitor.What this monitor shows is the status of the front cabin workshop.

The co-pilot was in a good mood. He felt that the flight attendant in front must have accidentally knocked something into the cabin door, and it was not unheard of before.

The captain seemed to have encountered a similar thing, and even joked: "Isn't it the flight attendant who fell down? The fall was heavy enough, so don't get hurt."

"Let me see." Soon, the co-pilot turned on the monitor.However, the monitors of this era are really not very good, the screen looks like a black and white TV, the co-pilot took a few glances and could only see a few blurred shadows moving in it.

"What?" The co-pilot grumbled, and switched the camera's view from the middle to the left, but the picture was still blurry. Switching to the right had a similar effect.

"What's wrong? Can't see clearly?" The captain raised his head and glanced at the monitor screen.Due to the perspective problem, the picture seen by the captain was even more blurred.

At this time, Xu Cang had already put on his earphones and fastened his seat belt, and said casually, "Look at it from the cat's eyes."

There is only one cat's eye on the cockpit door, and you can see a part of the situation in the front cabin workshop.

The co-pilot snorted, turned around and pushed the cover on the cat's eye to the side.Just about to get closer to the cat's eye, suddenly, there was a knock on the door in the cockpit.

dong dong dong...

For some reason, this knock on the door, which was so ordinary that it could not be more ordinary, seemed inexplicably strange under the circumstances.

Xu Cang and the captain looked at each other and saw the horror in each other's eyes.This feeling has no reason, as if it came out of thin air, like the instinctive sense of danger from a beast.

Perhaps feeling the atmosphere in the cockpit, the standing co-pilot tightened his body, wiped his face, lowered his body slightly and looked out of the cat's eyes.

In an instant, the hairs on the co-pilot's body stood on end, like a cat whose fur has exploded.

In the narrow field of view presented by the cat's eyes, the purser showed infinite fear.Behind her, a man with a ferocious face held a sharp knife in his right hand, and the tip of the knife was close to the purser's snow-white neck.

"Open the door!" the man yelled.

Suddenly, perhaps due to the influence of air currents, the plane shook violently.The man holding the knife was unsteady, his grip on the knife was uncertain, and the tip of the knife directly sank into the crew chief's neck.
