Chapter 18: Safe Landing

Editor: Atlas Studios
Normal flight operations after takeoff required little human intervention, as the computer system assisted in its semi-auto pilot state. The pilot only needed to manually adjust occasionally to adapt to regions with different airflows. The most dangerous parts of a flight were taking off and landing.
The airport’s radar was locked onto Lin Mo’s passenger plane, guiding it into the optimal landing path and altitude. The flaps flipped, reducing the lift gradually, and the landing gears in the belly and underwings lowered slowly. Fire trucks and ambulances welcomed them on both sides of the runway, and even the end of the runway had foam the size of a small hill.
The plane rushed straight into the runway with a screech, just like a classic textbook landing. The undercarriage wheels released smoke, and the wing lift was reduced to a minimum as the plane finally slid directly onto the runway. It gradually decelerated with adjustments to the engine and the rudder of the airplane as it exited the runway, waiting for the guidance system to move it slowly into place to park.
Almost at the same moment as the plane stopped, a burst of cheers erupted in both the passenger cabin and the command room of the temporary emergency team. The weights in the hearts of many were finally lifted.
Lin Mo did not need to do anything else. Passenger stairs were connected to the door of the aircraft, and the passengers rushed down the plane at the fastest speed possible. They hugged each other happily on the ground, jumping for joy. This dangerous trip would forever be etched in their minds.
The moment the door to the cockpit opened, Lin Mo was immediately surrounded by the flight attendants. The enthusiasm and kisses of the flight attendants after experiencing a near-death experience was not something an unromantic guy like him could withstand. Even though he had experienced countless battles of different magnitudes and the deadly Ultimate Spatial Hell forbidden spell, he nearly tried to escape on the spot.
“Mr. Lin, thank you so much!” A group of people with their belongings surrounded Lin Mo, who was trying to escape. It was too easy to recognize Lin Mo since the identification system of the airport had the details of every passenger.
“You’re welcome. It’s something I should do,” Lin Mo replied formally. He did not think he had done something earth-shattering. He just wanted to hurry and report to university. The military would not give him special privileges if he were late. His blue sky career would be as good as gone if he were delayed because of some celebrations and becoming the focus of a news report. He had to avoid this at all costs.
Lin Mo knew from the memory before the fusion that these were troublesome. Wasn’t it just flying? Dragon Knights had always had a career in the sky, and they had seen all sorts of danger. This trivial matter was not worth mentioning at all.
If he accidentally revealed that he was a Dragon Knight from another world, he might either be captured as a psychopath or be arrested and become a sample to be dissected and studied. If a noble Dragon Knight from the Sland Empire encountered such a disastrous scene, his legion would laugh at him if they knew. It made him shudder even though he was not feeling cold. After all, he could not fight against the state machinery as an individual.
“No, you saved everyone! You’re a hero! I thank you on behalf of the airline!” A middle-aged man in uniform who seemed to be the commander of the emergency team held Lin Mo’s hand tightly, and he was so excited that he stumbled over his words. The ‘saved everyone’ here was in a general sense. Not only did it include passengers and flight attendants on the plane, but it also included the airport, the airline company, insurance, and relevant government departments. God forbid, if something had happened, none of these units would have been able to get away scot-free.
The loss of an airplane was a small matter. With the people on the plane and their social networks and the collective exposure and tracking of the news, even economic loss was a minor matter. Who knew how many many heads would have rolled. This was the most dire consequence for the airline company.
Therefore, the members of the temporary emergency team composed of various parties were very grateful to Lin Mo. He had not only saved the face of the airline and aircraft manufacturer but also their wallets and jobs. Their families also had to be thankful to Lin Mo. Lin Mo’s merit was great, be it public or private.
“Okay, I’ll get going if there’s nothing else!” Lin Mo seemed to think nothing of the nearly one hundred lives and the interests of multiple organizations he was unaware of that he just saved. He wanted nothing but to leave. This airport was not his original destination, and he would have to wait for a transfer, which would delay him.
“Why don’t you take a rest first? Rest assured, we will pay for your hotel accommodation tonight, and we have arranged a gala dinner for you at night. We’ll send you wherever you want to go by car tomorrow.” The middle-aged man in uniform patted his chest. He had everything arranged the moment the airplane landed safely. The airline would rather lose ten times its profits than for such an accident to happen, as such negative press usually proved fatal. Who would dare take their planes in the future?
After appeasing the passengers, they rewarded the crew, who had calmly responded to the situation, especially Lin Mo, who saved everyone in the plane. The airline would definitely not be stingy because everyone in the emergency team knew just how bad the environment in the cockpit was with its windshield broken. They were also very surprised by Lin Mo’s physical qualities. They had yet to learn about the fact that Lin Mo was about to become an Air Force pilot. Otherwise, they would have understood. Could the physical qualities of an Air Force pilot be poor?!
Furthermore, he was a Dragon Knight from another world. The physical requirements were many times higher than that of an Air Force pilot.
“Sorry, I’m really in a hurry and can’t be delayed any further!” Lin Mo was a little afraid of the crowd surrounding him. They were civilians, and he could not do anything to them. If he were in the other world, he could have whistled for his Giant Dragon partner to come, and the crowd would have dispersed by themselves.
Dragon Knights were high-end strategic forces on the battlefield. How could they be watched like monkeys in the circus? That would undermine their value. It was necessary for them to maintain a sense of reverence toward them. Otherwise, how could they deter the enemy?
Lin Mo still regarded himself as a Dragon Knight even though he was currently in this world without his Giant Dragon partner. After all, soaring in the sky was a glory not available to ordinary people.
The middle-aged man in uniform really could not persuade Lin Mo. He could only give up his efforts and say regretfully, “In that case, Mr. Lin, that’s truly regretful. Don’t worry, I’ll arrange for someone to deliver you to the place you’re headed. This is my business card. You can contact me at any time if you need anything.” The accident today was something that no one wished to happen. But it being satisfactorily resolved so that everyone was happy was the best outcome possible. He believed that the passengers would not cause much trouble for the airline. In the end, he could only hand Lin Mo a business card in the hope of building a connection with this young man and that it would be useful for him in the future.
“Thank you, Manager Shi!” Lin Mo took the business and glanced at it. His name was Shi Guojun, and his position was on it. He held a rather high position.
Several other people also handed him their business cards, doing the same thing that Shi Guojun did. They were optimistic about this calm young man who could bring a huge passenger plane to safety. Not only did he possess excellent learning ability, but he also had outstanding psychological quality. His potential was unlimited. These business cards would provide him some help in the future.
“Lad! You’re great. This is my business card! Please contact me if you need anything. I’ll definitely help you!”
“I’m Yu Tie, vice president of Dahua company. I’m treating you as my brother from now on! If you meet any difficulties in the future, I’ll go all out for you!”
“I, Old Zhang, owe you my life. Take my business card. You can come to me if you need a job. As long as it’s within my territory, you can choose to go to state-owned enterprises, become a civil servant, you name it!”

They had managed to escape death today, and there must be blessings after great danger. It was all because this young man stood up. They wanted to exchange numbers with Lin Mo, but his phone had turned into ashes when they fused into one. His memory before the fusion was incomplete, and Lin Mo could not even remember his original number. He could only say that he gave away his phone along with its number and had yet to apply for a new one.
A variety of business cards of high caliber were stuffed into Lin Mo’s hands. He collected them one by one and expressed his gratitude. He was not expecting to deepen his relationship with them, and their promises might not necessarily be fulfilled either. It only meant that they were indeed grateful to him currently. He should not turn a cold cheek to their passion, and courtesy was still important.
…
Lin Mo sat alone in the car that was specially assigned by the airline with his luggage. After driving at high speed for seven hours, the driver reached his destination. It was the gathering place for all university pilot recruits—The People’s Liberation Army Air Force Aviation University.
The People’s Liberation Army Air Force Aviation University, previously known as the Northeast Democratic Coalition Aviation School (aka Northeast Old Aviation School), relied initially on several old-fashioned Japanese fighter jets and trainers. It did its best to establish logistics for spare parts and fuel, and it broke through the three-step coaching method popular at that time. It reached the highest standard in a shot and continuously developed through the attacks of the Chinese Nationalist Party. In 2004, the original Air Force Second Aviation Academy, which was related to the Northeast Old Aviation School, the Changchun Air Force School, and the Air Force’s Seventh Flying Academy merged and formed the Air Force Aviation University. It comprised of seven campuses, covering an area of nineteen million square meters, distributed across the provinces of Heilongjiang, Jilin, and Liaoning.
