Joining Sichuan Airlines starts with rescuing the captain of a powerful country

Chapter 331 I thought I had escaped death, but I didn't expect that I had stepped into the gates of hell
Yangcheng
"Mr. Wu, I have confirmed with the diplomatic department that three passenger planes have successfully left Nusa Tenggara Island in the past ten minutes, but none of these three planes are our C919s."

Yangcheng District Survey
A staff member hurried into a small dispatch room.

Mr. Wu, who had already stood up, seemed to have all his strength drained away and fell back again.

His face was so gloomy that water seemed to be dripping out of it.

Just an hour ago.

On the way back to China, C919 learned that more than Chinese compatriots from the Xia country were still stranded on Nusa Tenggara Island.

The captain and all the crew members, regardless of the danger to their own lives, rushed to Nusa Tenggara Island for rescue.

But since C919 entered Nusa Tenggara Island,
The dispatch center no longer received any information about this plane.

And
According to the latest news from the South China Sea earthquake observation point, the volcano on Nusa Tenggara Island seems to have erupted again on a large scale.

Although the eruption level this time is not as high as the one during the day, it is only VEI-2.

But for the already devastated Nusa Tenggara Island, this is enough to destroy the entire island.

Now c919 still can't escape ascension.

Inside the dispatch center.

A trace of despair appeared on everyone's face.

Could it be?

Has c919 encountered an accident?
"Ugh"

Mr. Wu let out a long sigh.

He is also a man who has experienced many ups and downs.

But the past hour was the most anxious hour in his life.

Because the C919 is not only the result of his life's work, but also records a lot of valuable data on the aircraft, which plays a vital role in the subsequent research and development of the C919 large aircraft project.

It can be said.

If this C919 is really destroyed by a volcano, the domestic large aircraft project will be delayed by at least one or two years.

But what really saddened Mr. Wu was not the plane.

It's the people on the plane.

They clearly didn't have to do anything and could have returned home safely.

No one would morally blame them if they stayed out of the matter.

But just because he wanted to rescue more than 200 compatriots on Nusa Tenggara Island, he resolutely put himself in danger.

What a nice young man!

How come it just disappeared like that?

sizzle sizzle
Just when everyone had fallen into complete despair.

suddenly.

The communication equipment at the dispatch center suddenly rang.

First, the sound of electromagnetic waves was heard.

Then a middle-aged man's voice came into the dispatch center.

"Dispatch center, this is Captain Liu Changjian, please reply if you receive this."

Liu Changjian. Captain?

Inside the dispatch center, everyone was stunned at first, and then excitement instantly appeared on their faces.

The operator immediately grabbed the intercom and replied loudly, "This is the dispatch center, Captain Chang Jian, can you hear me?"

"I can hear you." Liu Changjian replied in a deep voice from the other end of the communication channel.

"What's your situation now? Why are you using an unfamiliar channel to contact the dispatch center?"

"Because the runway at Nusa Tenggara Airport was destroyed, the runway was not long enough to take off a large aircraft, so we could only fly a regional passenger plane to escape."

After listening to Liu Changjian’s explanation.

Everyone in the dispatch center felt somewhat disappointed, but also slightly relieved.

It seems that the C919 test aircraft, which is crucial to the development progress, has been "sacrificed" on the island.

But as long as everyone is okay, it's fine.

But Liu Changjian's next words instantly made their emotions sink to the bottom.

Because not everyone evacuated Nusa Tenggara Island successfully. In order to rescue other compatriots stranded on the island, the captain Lu Qingzhou, the second captain Liang Dong, the flight attendant Huang Jia, and the reporter Chen Bingbing did not board the plane and leave immediately. Instead, they were also stranded on the island and their lives are unknown.

Hearing this 'bad news'.

The entire dispatch center fell into silence in an instant.

ARJ-21 passenger aircraft.

cockpit.

After hanging up the call with the dispatch center far away in the country, Liu Changjian also let out a long sigh.

He turned his head and glanced at Nusa Tenggara Island in the distance.

Although the island has completely "fallen" into darkness, the sky in that direction is still fiery red.

It was as if the sky was set on fire by a volcano.

"Captain. I. What should we do now?" on the side.

Xu Yichen had a depressed look on his face, showing no joy at all for having escaped.

Liu Changjian came back to his senses.

He turned to look at Xu Yichen and asked, "What should we do?"

"Are we going back to our country or returning to Dongdiwen?" Xu Yichen asked.

Liu Changjian glanced at the plane's instrument panel and answered casually, "Of course we found the nearest airport for emergency landing. We are flying a regional airliner, how can we afford to return to China?"

But he had just finished speaking.

The pupils shrank suddenly.

Xu Yichen, who was standing by, also noticed Liu Changjian's expression change drastically, and quickly asked, "Captain Changjian, what's wrong?"

Liu Changjian immediately turned his head to look at Xu Yichen and asked sharply, "How far are we from the nearest airport?"

"Ah?" Xu Yichen opened his mouth, wondering why he suddenly asked this.

"Tell me, what are you still standing there for?"

Xu Yichen quickly looked down at the plane's navigator, then raised his head and said, "Four hundred and seventy kilometers."

"Four hundred and seventy kilometers?" Liu Changjian murmured, and then he slumped back into the captain's seat, "It's over, it's all over."

"What's over?"

Xu Yichen was puzzled.

But when he turned his gaze to the aircraft's instrument panel, his face changed instantly.

Because the aircraft's instrument panel showed that the fuel tank was almost empty.

In other words.

The plane has little fuel left.

"How could this happen?" Xu Yichen was about to cry, "I clearly remember that when the plane took off, there was still more than half a tank of fuel."

"Alas," Liu Changjian sighed, regaining some sanity, and explained, "Maybe the fuel tank was hit when the plane took off. At that time, the plane was in severe turbulence, so we didn't pay much attention to it."

"Then what should we do?" Xu Yichen said at a loss, "Are we just going to die?"

"Immediately contact the Dongtiwen civil aviation department and tell them that we are about to make an emergency landing on the sea. Please... ask them to rush to rescue us immediately." Liu Changjian said a solution that was not a solution.

It's evening now.

Visibility on the sea is extremely low.

The continuous eruption of volcanoes on Nusa Tenggara Island has intensified geological movements.

There have even been several earthquakes throughout Southeast Asia.

The earthquake brought a tsunami.

The tsunami once again caused strong winds and huge waves on the sea.

Therefore, making an emergency landing on the sea at this time is no different from seeking death.

Uh!
Even in calm weather, the survival rate for an emergency landing in the sea is less than one percent.

Dead.

It's completely dead.

I thought I had escaped death, but I didn't expect that I had stepped into the gates of hell with both feet.
