After Becoming a Little |

"I'm sorry, please speak English." The co-pilot said sadly, "I don't know what's going on..."

It is not a good thing to have an alarm sounding, but the problem is that during normal flight, the alarm sound in this take-off configuration will not beep "beep beep".

This sound will only be heard when the plane is on the ground - because it means "the plane can't take off yet", to ensure the safety of the aircraft configuration.

Instead of telling the pilot during the flight that "the plane is malfunctioning"...

But in fact, if the two pilots were more careful, they might recognize that the alarm sound was not the take-off configuration alarm, but the cabin altitude alarm.

It is telling the pilot that there is something wrong with the plane, it cannot continue to fly upwards, and it needs to lower its altitude.

It's just that the crew didn't react. They didn't know why this weird alarm bell sounded at this time. After all, the two voices were so similar.

In the next few minutes, several warning lights on the top panel of the bridge sounded one after another, but these were insignificant minor problems, so the captain had a stable mind and tried to discuss with his co-pilot how to solve them.

The premise is that their language can communicate happily...

After stumbling to each other for a few words in English, the two drivers, one speaking Italian and the other French, began to stare.

The captain smacked his mouth, scanned the readings on the instrument panel, and muttered in a very unpleasant way: "It seems that we need to ask the ground."

What he said was in English, but his displeased look of shrugging his shoulders and spreading his hands made the co-pilot understand that the other party didn't mean to take up the conversation.

"Maintenance Center, this is Flight 522, OVER."

The center on the ground reacted quickly, and the other party responded immediately: "Flight 522, is there anything I can do for you?" 』

"Our takeoff setting alarm bell is sounding." The captain looked up at the warning light above the cockpit: "The flight altitude is now 1 feet."

"...Excuse me, can you repeat that? 』The liaison staff of the ground maintenance center scratched their ears, what language did they speak just now?German?French?English with a dialect accent?

"Our takeoff setting alarm is on!" the captain repeated in English with a strong Italian accent, frowning and observing the situation of the aircraft.

In the cabin, the mother monster also opened her eyes, and looked up at the ceiling of the plane in doubt.

At this time, the plane was still in the process of climbing, and the business class was just behind the cockpit. Not only the captain and the others heard the beeping alarm, but the flight attendant and mother also heard it.

The flight attendant pursed her lips with an uneasy expression, and after seeing her mother's strange eyes looking over, she squeezed out a slightly stiff smile: "I don't think it's a big problem, the captain will take care of it soon, If you need anything, please let me know after leveling."

After she finished speaking, she subconsciously glanced at her fiancé, who frowned: "This sound doesn't sound very pleasant... What's wrong? It sounds like a takeoff configuration alarm?"

As he spoke, he subconsciously turned his head following his fiancée's line of sight, and after looking at each other, he tried to explain to his mother: "I'm getting my pilot's license, so don't worry, if there is any emergency, I will also can help."

"...Aren't you an engineer?"

"Yes, but everyone can have a self-motivated heart and their own dreams, can't they?"

Although the job benefits of the maintenance staff are good, they are far from the more favorable position of the pilot.

It can be seen that the young brother is a person with a plan, and it is much easier to advance as an engineer than a layman who wants to start from scratch.

The mother didn't say anything, just nodded, but this time she didn't close her eyes and rest, but adjusted her seat belt a little bit, and straightened her back.

In the cockpit at this moment, the captain's expression is no longer unhappy, but has become a little ugly.

A warning light marked "MASTER CAUTION" in the cockpit lit up, and he didn't even dare to press it down to reset it—even though there was a reset prompt of "RUSH TO RESET" under the warning light, as long as he lightly No more noise with just one press.

It's the main warning light, and it's a warning that one or more systems on the plane are overheating.

The pressure that this beeping warning light brings to people is not comparable to that beeping little thing before...

"Maintenance center, now the main warning light is also on, we are in trouble, repeat, the main warning light is on, the aircraft is malfunctioning!"

"Flight 522, I'll help you find an engineer right away. 』The ground staff said so, but there was no further text for the time being.

Ground·Apollo Aviation Maintenance Center

The ground personnel took off their earphones and waved to a stationed engineer not far away: "Come on, there is a problem with the plane here!"

The engineer was chatting with an office girl next to him, holding a cup of coffee, he chuckled and said, "Today's weather is really nice, if only we could go out for a walk."

The office girl's cheeks were slightly red: "Yes, if possible, I hope it will be a picnic."

"Great proposal, how about tomorrow? It should be a nice day too."

"Sir! This way!"

"Here we go—what do you think of tomorrow morning? Perhaps we can choose a nicer suburb?"

"Of course, if possible, I also hope to bring my little Fanny with me."

"Who's Fanny? Uh... I mean, that sounds like some kid, you got a kid?"

"No, Little Fanny is my pet dog, a corgi."

"I love pet dogs, especially corgis - the queen next door also likes corgis, it seems that you have the same noble taste as Her Majesty the Queen."

"Thank you for the compliment……"

"Hey—" the liaison officer raised his voice: "Airplane! We need you here!"

"Oh, sorry, I have to go to work." The engineer put down his coffee and trotted over: "What happened?"

"Flight 522 is malfunctioning, but the captain doesn't know the specific reason." The liaison officer paused and reminded: "He speaks with a strong accent, and I can't quite understand what he wants to say. Now there is a warning light is on."

"OK, let me talk to him." The engineer nodded and put on the headset: "Flight 522, what's the problem? What can I do for you?"

"This is Flight 522. As the captain said so, Rusha’s voice came over: “Our main warning light is on, indicating overheating. 』

"...Sorry, can you say it again? I can't hear very clearly." The engineer pressed the headset and looked at the liaison officer.

The latter showed innocent eyes and spread his hands.

"Warning Light!The ventilation and cooling fan light is also off! ”It is estimated that the warning light was too noisy, and the engineer contacted here, the captain raised his hand to reset it, and said loudly: “There is also a warning from the previous take-off configuration! 』

"...Okay, the main warning light...overheating...takeoff configuration—takeoff configuration alarm? Why does this sound?" The engineer grabbed a pen and marked a few words on the nearby paper: "Are you sure?"

"I am very sure! 』

"We'll look it up right now, what exactly does this mean, please wait."

"Hell, can't you give me a definite answer? 』

"Excuse me, please repeat, what did you just say?"

"No, it's nothing—— hurry up!" 』

"Ok!"

At this time, the plane continued to climb, and the flying altitude had exceeded [-] feet.

up, and up...

Airplane Cabin

Most of the passengers, unaware of what happened, were still waiting for the plane to level off after climbing to a predetermined altitude.

Anyone who has been on a plane knows that when the plane is flying upwards at an angle, it will give people the illusion of being suffocated in the water, and both ears will buzz like an invisible veil.

But today, the passengers feel that this feeling is particularly serious. Some people even unconsciously hold their throats, feeling a little difficult to breathe——

As the plane ascended, the passengers sitting in the cabin felt more and more difficult to breathe, until coughing and retching occurred.

Some old people were pale and panting with difficulty, unable to speak. The flight attendant who was buckling up her seat belt couldn't leave her seat at this time, but her own pale face didn't look very good either.

Perhaps it is because of her long-term flight work that she has some physical memory of decompression, or it may be because of her relatively healthy body, her performance is relatively better, and she can loudly comfort the passengers: "Please keep calm! Don't Get out of your seat! Don't get up!"

Feeling the thinner air, the mother frowned tightly, subconsciously glanced at the cockpit door which was close at hand.

However, since the 911/[-] accident in Millikin, the cockpits of all aircraft have been specially equipped with heavy defense measures. As long as some of the thick defenses enter the cockpit, even peeking inside requires opening a small door inside—perhaps aviation Companies are worried about someone throwing something dangerous in there without their consent.

So unless she has clairvoyance, she can't see what's going on inside

In fact, even the flight attendant was in a panic at this time - she didn't know why the cabin had begun to lose pressure obviously, and the plane continued to climb.

Shouldn't it be leveled or even lowered at this time, and stabilized in the oxygen-enriched flight area first?

But before she could think about it, oxygen masks hung from the ceiling of the plane, and those oxygen masks, which looked like seaweed hanging upside down on the seabed, all fell down like this, breaking the psychology of many people at once. line of defense.

The commotion, the shouting, the uproar—

In the information age, even if most people have never carefully reviewed the records of a large-scale aircraft crash, they still know that there are a few things that indicate that the aircraft is in a bad situation at this moment.

The most typical of these are naturally the dim lights and the oxygen masks hanging down...

The flight attendant grabbed the broadcasting microphone beside her, her anxious voice was suppressed hard, and she reminded as calmly as possible: "Please keep calm, put the oxygen mask on your face and completely cover your mouth and nose!"

The plane stipulates that you can't get up casually at such a critical moment. Instead, you must fasten your seat belt immediately and hold on to your oxygen mask.

My mother blames me for not disobeying the flight attendants. After all, this is not the time when anyone can be a hero. The scene in the movie where the protagonist steps forward to save the world is still a movie after all. In reality, it is often the efforts of professionals to save the world in the end. crisis.

And so far, she hasn't heard any explosions or someone trying to hijack the plane, so it can only be a plane malfunction. The flight attendants have responded so far without any problems, so let's just trust them.

She reached out to grab the oxygen mask and put it on, staring deeply at the cabin door with her phoenix eyes, thinking so in her heart.

Then she added another sentence in her heart—if it really goes so smoothly...

……

Cab

The captain and co-pilot were unaware of the changes in the cabin, and they were still trying to reinterpret the information given by the plane.

"Overheating, what system is overheating... where is the equipment cooling circuit breaker?"

He loosened the tie knot on his collar, wondering if it was because of excessive tension, he felt that he was having difficulty breathing now.

The altitude reading on the plane had exceeded eighteen thousand feet and was still going up.

He hesitated, but continued to climb without stopping.

According to the original flight plan, it is the right time to deal with the aircraft failure after the aircraft has climbed to the correct altitude before leveling off.

Even if the aircraft fails and needs to be forced to land, a higher altitude can be exchanged for more reaction and operation time.

The co-pilot was waiting for a response from the ground communications, checking the warning lights over and over, trying to figure out what was wrong.

"The cooling lights of both devices are on now." The captain said to the other end of the communication, wiping the sweat from his forehead: "What's wrong?"
