Return to 2000: Captain of the Great Powers

Chapter 93 Three Airlines for Xu Cang (Please Subscribe!)

In the Urumqi regional control room, the supervisor on duty looked at the radar screen a little annoyed: "Have you received the signal yet?"

"It's already here, Director, just wait a little longer." The assistant said, and suddenly pointed at the radar screen: "Yes!"

Sure enough, the director looked at the radar screen in the direction pointed by the assistant, and sure enough, he saw a signal point on it.This signal point is the image signal generated by the military radar scanning the designated airspace, and then transmitted to the control room in real time.

"It's good to have a signal, it's good to have a signal!" The director let out a long breath. If there is a signal, it means that everyone is fine, and this is the most important thing.But soon, the director looked at the position of the signal point, with a puzzled look on his face: "Are they on the air route? How did they fly?"

Reasonably speaking, if the radio fails, Blue Sky 9211 should return to the scheduled flight route, but now the signal point says that the route it traveled does not look like a regular flight route to Wushi Airport.

In 2000, the domestic airspace was not developed well, and the optimization was not done well. There were only a few air routes into Urumqi Airport. The director had long been familiar with it, and none of the routes passed through the current signal points matched. of.

"What the hell are they doing?" The more the director looked, the more strange he became. It was completely unreasonable for Lantian 9211 to fly like this.The only fortunate thing is that there are not many flights at Wushi Airport, even if the blue sky 9211 flies like this, it will not have any impact.It's just that if Lantian 9211 deviates to the south, it may affect a very busy X22 air route.Once this route is affected, the deployment task will be several times larger.Moreover, it needs to cooperate with another control area, which is extremely inconvenient and will have a very passive impact on the airspace control of the entire western region.

The most urgent task is to figure out what exactly Blue Sky 9211 is trying to do?
"Could they have a navigation problem?" The area controller raised a possibility.

Some aircraft have problems with the flight computer during the flight, resulting in the loss of navigation map data, and naturally they cannot fly according to the scheduled route.

"No, no!" The director's eyesight is still very poisonous: "If the traditional navigation is restored, then they should be flying towards a certain VOR station. Where is there any VOR flying in the direction they are flying?"

At this time, the assistant said: "Then they fly visually?"

"But the bottom is all desert and Gobi, what reference is there, how to fly visually?" The area controller retorted casually.

However, it was this rebuttal that directly woke up the supervisor on duty. He looked left and right, and suddenly a little inspiration came to his mind, and he clicked his lips: "This route looks familiar?"

The director paused and patted the area controller on the shoulder: "Cut the background to a low-altitude image!"

"Director, why cut the low-altitude map?" The area controller really didn't understand what the director wanted to do, but he still cut the background to the low-altitude map according to the director's words.

Once the background is cut into a low-altitude image, the distribution of many obstacles appears on the image, and the height of some prominent parts is also standardized.In this way, the area controller found out the clue: "Why do they fly where there are more obstacles?"

The director did not answer the area controller's doubts, but took a step back, his face full of disbelief: "This is not an obstacle!"

"What?" The assistant was taken aback: "Director, you said it's not an obstacle?"

"Where are there such dense obstacles? That's the mountains, that's the Tianshan Mountains!" The director still couldn't recover from the shock: "They didn't fly randomly, they were flying in the Tianshan Mountains!"

"Tianshan Mountain!" The area controller was stunned: "Why are they flying along Tianshan Mountain?"

"Because the Tianshan Mountains can guide them to Wushi Airport!" The director suddenly laughed: "You are right, they must have a navigation problem, and it is a huge problem, even the traditional navigation can't do it, Can only rely on visual reference. In the vast desert, where is there any suitable reference object, only Tianshan Mountain! Wushi Airport is at the starting point of Bogda Mountain, the remaining vein of Tianshan Mountain. As long as you fly down the mountain range, you can see Wushi Airport. Genius, genius, how could they even think of flying along Tianshan?"

The Tianshan mountain system runs from east to west with a total of three veins: the northern vein, the central vein, and the southern vein.Among them, Wushi is located at the foot of the mountain to the north of the middle point of the northern vein, and the half of the northern vein to the east of Wushi is called Bogda Mountain because of the highest peak of the northern vein, Bogda Peak. Northern Tianshan Mountains.The director found that the flight route of Lantian 9211 was completely in line with the extension of the northern Tianshan Mountains. From this, it can be seen that the plane was flying along the northern Tianshan Mountains.

And judging from the location of the plane, it is estimated that it will take more than 20 minutes to fly to the Urumqi Airport area.

"Quick! Inform the airport of the situation and get them ready to receive it." After the director gave the order, he still felt uneasy: "Let them pay attention to the east. The plane should come from the east. Send someone to a high place to give the crew a landing signal." .”

From the current situation, it can be known that Blue Sky 9211 may not only have navigation problems, but also communication problems. It is very likely that the two-way communication has failed.In this case, once the plane arrives at the airport, the airport cannot give landing permission by radio, but by flashing lights or semaphore.

However, this kind of situation is rare, and the director is worried that Wushi Airport will mess up the matter by being caught off guard.Therefore, when asking his subordinates to convey the information of Lantian 9211 to the airport, he specifically mentioned this aspect, in order to let the airport prepare in advance.

It can only be said that the director's worry is absolutely justified. After receiving relevant news at Wushi Airport, the entire airport was in chaos.However, fortunately, there is a period of time to prepare, so there is no need to panic.

In the cockpit of Blue Sky Airlines 9211, Xu Cang has handed over the control to Captain Tan Heling.From the time when the plane had a problem until now, even though Xu Cang didn't do any physical work, sometimes mental exhaustion is more tiring than physical work.

They have completely escaped from the dangerous weather, the sun is falling, and the northwest land can be seen in a panoramic view.If the visual conditions are good, it is also convenient to keep the distance from the obstacles on the top of the mountain.

To be honest, the period from going down to 100 meters to the time when the weather is completely dangerous is the most dangerous, because the visual conditions are not good, and it is necessary to maintain extremely focused energy at all times without daring to be careless.

In the short period of less than 10 minutes, Xu Cang felt that his whole body was going to be taken out, so when he was out of the dangerous weather range and the visual conditions improved, he immediately handed over the control to the captain Tan Heling .

At this moment, Tan Heling admired Xu Cang so much, how could he have any objection?

Seeing Xu Cang leaning on the seat tiredly, Tan Heling turned his head and asked, "Why don't you rest for a while, and you can still squint for 10 minutes. I'll just watch the plane."

Xu Cang leaned on the back of the chair with his head tilted, his eyelids were trembling, and he seemed to be unable to hold on.Xu Cang didn't want to doze off at this time either, but his eyelids weighed a thousand pounds, and he couldn't bear it anymore.

To be honest, Xu Cang is good everywhere, but his physique is average, and his energy is not up to the mark, which is strange. Xu Cang is only in his 20s, and he is clearly at the peak of his life. Why does he feel like he is in his twilight years?

Pushing himself up, Xu Cang suspected that he was going to fall asleep if he stayed so nestled.He casually picked up the wet towel in the sundry compartment on the right hand side and wiped his face, and he directed Xia Shuyue back: "There is a little boy in seat 21A at the back, and I promised him to give him the airplane model after he landed, and he will land soon." Finally, you discuss with the purser to prepare one for him.”

Xu Cang thought for a while: "Also, after the plane lands, if there is no unexpected situation, we will slide in with one engine, and will not perform any evacuation or rapid exit procedures, just like normal carry. You don't need to do any unconventional procedures. In addition, if the seat arranged for us by the airport is a remote seat, we will temporarily apply for a bridge. There are some problems in communication now, and it may take some time to change seats. You don’t need to Worry, just wait. After landing, if there are passengers who ask questions about the route, just answer that it’s the weather, and don’t say anything else. Do you hear clearly, Shuyue?”

Xu Cang said a bit too much at once, Xia Shuyue was silent for a while before she could figure it out.However, she was a little puzzled: "Isn't it okay to take the remote seat? Why do you have to wait for the bridge seat?"

In fact, the captain, Tan Heling, couldn't figure it out either. While manipulating the plane, he tilted his head slightly to listen to what Xu Cang had to say.

"What could be the problem? The lightning strike point of this plane is obvious, and we don't know about any other problems on the fuselage. If it is in the far seat, the passengers are likely to look back at the plane after getting off. If you see something, it’s hard to explain some things, so don’t cause trouble for yourself. There are usually coverings on the walls of corridor bridges, which are obviously better than having no covering.” Xu Cang said at the end, His tone was weak, and he looked like he was about to fall into a peaceful sleep at any time.

Xia Shuyue nodded repeatedly when she heard that, Xu Cang was indeed thoughtful, most of the people in the cabin now really thought that it was just the severe weather, so they thought it was best to get off the plane.

After talking so much at once, Xu Cang felt that his brain was about to lack oxygen. He thought that it was time to exercise. This physical condition is really not good, and it is easy to be overwhelmed by a little bit of laborious work. .

Suddenly, after turning over a mountain range, a large plain came into view. Unlike the Gobi desert that we flew over before, this plain was full of greenery, as if it was a paradise.

The climate of the entire northwest land is arid, and there are few such rare large-scale plains.As the core city of Northwest China, Urumqi naturally occupies the best land in this area.The plain in front of us faces the Tianshan Mountains to the south, the Gurbantunggut Desert to the north, the Toutun River to the west, and the remnants of the Kalazha Mountains to the east.In such a huge place, there is only such a nice place in the middle.

"It looks like it's coming!" Xu Cang yawned, then turned to Xia Shuyue and said, "Go out first, call the co-pilot in, and make me a cup of coffee."

"Coffee, 111?"

111 means that the ratio of coffee, water, and sugar is one to one.

"Add two servings of sugar, otherwise it will be too bitter." Xu Cang doesn't like coffee, and only by adding more sugar can he accept it a little.

Xia Shuyue got up quickly, put away the observer's seat with Xu Cang's help, and went out.

Not long after, the first co-pilot, who was kicked out by Xu Cang just now, came in again. He was quite surprised to see that the sun was shining outside, and even Wushi Airport was close in front of him.

He just wanted to continue, but was stopped by Xu Cang.

Xu Cang felt that he was no different from a trash now, and his mind was so confused, he might as well let this substitute come up by himself.The situation was urgent just now, and my mind was overloaded and I couldn't turn it around. Now that most of the problems have been dealt with, it should be possible to deal with them.

The captain wanted Xu Cang to sit in front again, but seeing the way Xu Cang's upper and lower eyelids pressed against each other, he knew that he might be very tired, so he didn't force it.

He still knows how to approach when the two-way radio fails, and Wushi Airport is not a special airport, and the airflow in this field is not particularly strong, so he still has the confidence to land.

As soon as the seat was changed, Xia Shuyue brought in the coffee.Originally Xu Cang planned to wake up with coffee, but when the hot coffee warmed his stomach, Xu Cang felt even more sleepy.

Cursing inwardly that the coffee refreshment is just fooling people, Xu Cang propped his forehead with one hand, trying hard to keep himself awake.

Not long after, the plane entered the airspace of Wushi Airport.Originally, the captain planned to go down to a higher altitude and passed the airport tower at low altitude to request landing. As soon as he got close to the airport, something similar to a searchlight on the top of the tower gave them a green light signal, indicating that they could land. It seems to be from the airport. I got the news a long time ago.

This is convenient for the crew. According to the wind direction and speed obtained before, the captain chose a runway by himself, cut to three sides and made a visual approach, and completed the landing very smoothly. Xu Cang never said anything again. In a word.

He was still thinking in his heart that apart from his poor psychological quality, the captain was barely acceptable.

After landing, according to Xu Cang's plan, they relied on a single engine to taxi.In actual flight operation, an engine is fully taxiable.Of course, in some special cases, such as when encountering an uphill, it is indeed more troublesome to taxi with a single engine, but this situation is indeed relatively rare.

After landing, because he didn't know which way to slide, the plane stopped on the exit road after leaving.Soon, the guiding car arranged by the airport drove over.

Originally, Xu Cang thought that if he got a remote seat for them, it would be troublesome to contact them if they needed to change it.But in the end, the airport arranged for them a place near the bridge, which saved them trouble.

When the plane landed on the bridge and cut the engine, the captain and the first co-pilot let out a heavy sigh of relief, thinking that the money was really hard to earn, and almost confessed.

Because this round-up seemed too normal, and because of Xu Cang's advance explanation, the flight crew did not behave abnormally, so that the atmosphere was quite harmonious when disembarking the passengers, and the problem of basically no people on the plane was more concerned about the follow-up compensation.

When everyone finished playing, Xu Cang became more energetic all of a sudden, and shouted: "Packed up, ready to get off the plane."

"Isn't it flying in the back?" The first co-pilot sat on the seat, a little dazed: "Isn't there still a section?"

The captain gave him a blank look: "Flying a hammer, let's go down and drink tea."

The first co-pilot looked dumbfounded: "Drink tea, where to drink tea?"

Xu Cang said angrily: "Where are you going? To the Northwest Bureau! Most of the northwest airspace has been messed up by us, and you still want to fly back? Can the plane agree, can the people in the Northwest Bureau agree?"

Xu Cang was quite sober at this time, and as soon as he put away his earphones, he was ready to go out to get the box.It's just that as soon as the door opened, a group of people in formal attire came in, looking menacing and not easy to mess with.

Xu Cang glanced at the group of people, and found that everyone had ID cards hanging around their necks, but they couldn't see what was written on them from a distance.However, what is certain is that the bridge guards did not stop these people, indicating that they were not passengers.

It seemed that the leader of the crowd saw Xu Cang coming out of the cockpit, and greeted him with a smile: "The crew?"

"Ah!" Xu Cang nodded, "Who are you?"

The man picked up his ID and showed it in front of Xu Cang: "We are from the Northwest Bureau, come with us."

At this time, in a hotel in Jianchuan City thousands of miles away, Ma Cheng, the general manager of the strategy department of Muhua Aviation, was answering a phone call.

"Mr. Ma, the situation of Lantian 9211 is almost like this. The crew is expected to return to Jianchuan tomorrow, and this matter will have to be handed over to the Southwest Bureau."

Ma Cheng was still reminiscing about the situation reported by his subordinates just now, and asked after a long time: "The information you inquired is confirmed to be reliable?"

"Mr. Ma, this is absolutely reliable. It's just that the Northwest Bureau didn't ask too much. This matter is not under their jurisdiction. They don't care too much about the details. If you really want to know the details, you have to wait for the investigation by the Southwest Bureau. .”

Blue Sky Airlines is an airline company within the jurisdiction of the Southwest Bureau. If something goes wrong, the final investigation right must be with the Southwest Bureau.Of course, the plane had an accident in the northwest airspace, and the Northwest Bureau couldn't ignore it, but it wouldn't intervene too much.

Ma Cheng hummed: "I see, hang up!"

After hanging up the phone, Ma Cheng immersed himself in the news that his subordinates said he had heard just now. If his subordinates hadn't guaranteed that the news was absolutely accurate, he still couldn't believe it.

"Going up the Tianshan Mountain?" Ma Cheng showed a smile: "Is there really such a miraculous person in this world?"

In fact, Ma Cheng didn't care about the so-called genius at all.Genius is nothing more than a higher starting point than ordinary people. If you don't work hard, you will be overtaken by ordinary people.

However, in recent days, Ma Cheng checked Xu Cang's background.From the current point of view, Xu Cang's performance really has nothing to do with hard work.There is no way, Xu Cang's poor performance after joining the company has already become famous in Jianchuan's airline company, so it is easy to know.

But even such a bastard who doesn't seek to make progress can still achieve unmatched performance. Could it be that he is really God feeding the food into his mouth?
Xu Cang's journey along the Tianshan Mountains was already wonderful when all the navigation methods failed.The other plan is to fly to Pengze Lake near P37 and then rely on the sun to identify the due west direction to fly to Wushi Airport.

"It seems that I still underestimate him."

Ma Cheng thought for a while, then made another call, and the call was connected soon: "I am Ma Cheng, where is your director Liu?"

"Wait a minute, Mr. Ma!"

Soon, another person answered the phone. It was the voice of a middle-aged man with a slightly frivolous voice: "Why does our manager Ma have the time to ask me about this little recruitment office?"

"Old Liu, don't be silly with me, there is business!" Ma Cheng seems to have a good personal relationship with Director Liu, and he has no scruples when speaking: "Recently I met a co-pilot of Blue Sky Airlines here in Jianchuan, I think this guy is pretty good. I'll ask the secretary to send you a summary of his situation in a while, and you can take a look. If you think it's okay, come to Jianchuan, the sooner the better."

"Blue Sky Airlines? How can such a small company have any good seedlings that are worthy of my visit? I said, old horse, don't miss it."

Ma Cheng shouted: "Is it a good seedling? After a while, you will know after reading the document. I can still lie to you. Wait a minute, I got a call from here."

Ma Cheng put down the phone and saw that it was an unfamiliar number, but he still picked it up.

As soon as the phone was connected, Lu Jinghua's voice came from inside: "Mr. Ma, hello! I'm Xiao Lu. I met Mr. Li at the Dragon Hotel a few days ago."

Ma Cheng knew who it was as soon as he recalled it, and immediately asked casually: "Mr. Lu, what's the matter?"

"It's like this. When I met Mr. Ma that day, I was supposed to show my friendship as a landlord, but I happened to have some urgent matters to deal with, so I was delayed. I thought, if Mr. Ma has no urgent matters, can we have a face-to-face meeting tomorrow?" Lu Jinghua did whatever he wanted. He is also the general manager of the flight department, but his attitude is quite low when he speaks.

In normal times, Ma Cheng wouldn't bother to talk to Lu Jinghua at all, but now he is dozing off and giving him a pillow, so there's no reason not to agree.

"Then let Mr. Lu spend the money."

When Lu Jinghua heard that there was something going on, he was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's okay, it should be. Mr. Ma, I'll contact you after I've fixed the place."

"Okay, thanks for your hard work, Mr. Lu." After finishing speaking, Ma Cheng directly hung up Lu Jinghua's phone, and then said to Director Liu: "I just called, and I have a meeting with the leaders of Blue Sky Airlines tomorrow. I just happened to visit them. Am I mistaken? Read his profile and say it. If you think it’s okay, then you come here. If you think it’s not, then just pretend I didn’t say anything.”

"Yes, we still have to give Mr. Ma face."

After finishing speaking, Director Liu of the recruiting office directly hung up on Ma Cheng's phone, really losing face at all.After hanging up the phone, he muttered a few words: "I'm so nervous, I thought I met some kind of fairy?"

After about half an hour, Ma Cheng's secretary sent over a thick stack of materials.

Director Liu Minxue put on his glasses, leaned back on the chair leisurely, picked up Xu Cang's material and looked at it: "I want to see which god it is?"

At the beginning, Director Liu Minxue was a little joking, he instinctively felt that Ma Cheng was making a fuss out of a molehill.But with the passage of time, the smile on Liu Minxue's face gradually faded, then became solemn, and finally even showed a hint of horror.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and Liu Minxue read from the first ten lines to the next word by word, for fear of missing any details.In the end, Liu Minxue slowly closed the material when it was almost time to get off work.

The employees under him seemed to be leaving get off work soon, and some of them had already started to pack their things.Suddenly, Liu Minxue yelled at a young female employee beside him: "Xiao Wang, help me with something."

"Huh?" The female employee called Xiao Wang didn't expect that she was about to leave work, and the boss assigned her a task. She felt a little upset, but she still asked, "Director, what's the matter."

Senior Liu Min let out a long breath, as if to calm down his chaotic heart: "Help me book a plane ticket to Jianchuan, it's getting better and better!"

At noon the next day, Lu Jinghua drove to the reserved hotel.It was originally planned that he wanted to deal with Xu Cang's Blue Sky 9211, because the crew was expected to arrive in Jianchuan soon.But Luo Yong has been urging him to settle Ma Cheng's matter, and the phone call yesterday was also made under Luo Yong's supervision, which made Lu Jinghua very helpless.

However, there was one thing that surprised Lu Jinghua.That was when Yue Macheng came out yesterday. He thought it would take a lot of hard work, but he didn't expect it to go smoothly. It went so smoothly that Luo Yong, who was supervising next to him, felt unbelievable.

After inquiring, what happened to Lantian 9211 should not be caused by the crew, but by the objective weather theory. It is said that the people of the Northwest Bureau are quite satisfied with the crew's response after learning about it.This reassured Lu Jinghua a lot, otherwise if something went wrong, Lu Jinghua would definitely take care of Xu Cang.

When they arrived at the hotel, they parked the car, and Lu Jinghua went straight to the private room he had reserved.But as soon as he entered, he found that Ma Cheng had arrived, which surprised Lu Jinghua.

"Mr. Ma, why did you come so early?" Lu Jinghua quickly took his seat, extremely panicked.

He had already arrived 10 minutes earlier, but Ma Cheng hadn't expected to come earlier.And judging by Ma Cheng's demeanor, it is estimated that he has not just arrived, but has been here for a while.

"I'm a little confused, so come here early and calm down." Ma Cheng looked indifferent, but poured a cup of tea for Lu Jinghua who had just sat down: "Boss Lu, eat slowly after the meal, can we talk about things first?" ? Otherwise, the food would not taste good, isn’t that the reason?”

Lu Jinghua was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect Ma Cheng to be so impatient, so this is going to be a big deal?
Seeing the hesitation on Lu Jinghua's face, Ma Cheng smiled and said, "President Lu, don't worry too much. I don't like to beat around the bush. I don't think President Lu is that kind of person."

Lu Jinghua smiled wryly: "Mr. Ma is really quick to talk. Well, I don't hide it, let's open the skylight and speak honestly. That's how it is. Some time ago, our company applied to the General Administration for the introduction of 777s and the opening of international routes, but was rejected by the Administration. Fang rejected it. We wondered if the bureau thought that our company lacked experience in operating international routes, so we wanted to cooperate with your company to jointly operate an international route. We just don’t know if your company can give us a lesson. Opportunity?"

Ma Cheng listened to Lu Jinghua's explanation, and immediately burst out laughing: "Mr. Lu, we are not children anymore. Why should we agree to such a thing? Now the international routes are basically divided by the three major airlines. Why should we divide the cake?" Give you one?"

Lu Jinghua quickly said: "Mr. Ma, Blue Sky Airlines is clear about our position. Even if we enter the international route, it will only share some leftovers, and it will not have any impact on you."

Being able to talk so far, Lu Jinghua's posture can already be described as humble.

In fact, Lu Jinghua also felt that Ma Cheng's statement was correct.The three major airlines now monopolize international routes, so why should they bring Blue Sky Airlines to play together, teach their apprentices, and starve their master to death?Of course, such extreme cases rarely happen.

"Mr. Lu, if this is what you're talking about, then I won't be ashamed to eat the rest of the meal."

When Lu Jinghua heard this, his face changed drastically: "Mr. Ma, if Mr. Ma can clear things up, we at Blue Sky Airlines will be very grateful to Mr. Ma."

Hearing what Lu Jinghua said, Ma Cheng immediately became unhappy.This is trying to bribe him, Ma Cheng!
Ma Cheng said displeasedly: "Boss Lu, although I, Ma Cheng, am not a gentleman, but if you talk like this, it will be bad!"

Lu Jinghua also knew that he had said the wrong thing, but he was also in a hurry.When he came from the road, he knew that it would be very difficult to persuade Ma Cheng this time, but Luo Yong ordered him to die, it was really uncomfortable.

"President Ma, don't be angry, I didn't mean that." Lu Jinghua panicked: "President Ma, is there really no room for turning around this matter?"

Ma Cheng sneered: "Mr. Lu, it seems that you are still lucky. There is absolutely no such thing."

However, before Ma Cheng finished speaking, the door of the private room was pushed open roughly, and a middle-aged man walked in from the outside.He looked at Lu Jinghua with a smile: "Of course we can discuss things! But if you want to get something from us, you have to give something."

Lu Jinghua was taken aback, but looking at Ma Cheng, the person who came seemed to be from Muhua Airlines, so he subconsciously asked, "What does Muhua Airlines need?"

When Ma Cheng saw the person coming, he was stunned for a moment, and said softly, "Old Liu, don't talk nonsense!"

The person who came turned out to be Liu Minxue, director of the recruiting office that Ma Cheng called yesterday.

However, Liu Minxue directly raised his head to stop Ma Cheng, but stretched out three fingers: "The joint operation rights of one international route, two domestic routes, a total of three! I only want one person from you."

Lu Jinghua gasped, changing three routes for one person was simply a fantasy, so he first glanced at Ma Cheng.

Ma Cheng's heart skipped a beat, and he was about to get up when he heard Lu Jinghua ask, "I want someone, who do I want?"

Liu Minxue grinned, showing an expression of determination: "Xu Cang!"
