After Becoming a Little |

『It is normal for this light to be on, please confirm what system is the problem—I mean malfunction!Confirm exactly where the fault is! 』

The ground engineer was going crazy, and the difficulty of communicating with the other party was far beyond his imagination. The piercing siren sounded like it was ringing in his ears, and the repeated pestering words of the other party made him feel like an 'information engineer'. Customers who do not understand computers provide the same illusion of remote guidance services'.

"It's cooling! We confirmed that there are at least three warning lights, and the first one has been beeping since the altitude of [-] feet!" The captain said so, and asked repeatedly: "The air conditioning system is broken, the circuit breaker for equipment cooling Where?"

He repeated the question several times before the engineer's communication came in again: "It's right behind the captain's seat!" 』

Speaking of which, the ground engineer seemed to think of something. What happened to the altitude of [-] feet that the other party just mentioned?

So he immediately asked subconsciously: "Now, can you be sure that the booster panel is set to automatic?" 』

The captain didn't catch him - why can't the bloody ground crew speak Italian?

Thinking so, he turned to look at his co-pilot: "What panel did he just say?"

The co-pilot raised his head from the panel in a daze, his face was pale, and he looked a little dazed. He asked hoarsely, "What did you say?"

For a moment, the captain felt that the voice of the other party seemed to be as far away as an ocean from him, and it was still gradually withdrawing...

"No, forget it." Taking a deep breath with some difficulty, the captain shouted to the maintenance center engineer on the other end of the headset: "Do you know where the equipment cooling circuit breaker is? Which button is it?"

"Behind your seat—have you found where the circuit breaker is? 』

"..."

"Hey?Hello - Flight 522!Are you still listening? 』

The captain's hand extended towards the circuit breaker stopped in mid-air, hanging down feebly.

His entire body was tied to the chair by the seat belt, his hands were drooping, and he opened his mouth with difficulty, like a fish thrown ashore, trying to breathe fresh air.

But the altitude had risen to [-] feet, and it was still going upwards. The thin oxygen made his consciousness start to trance.

The co-pilot unconsciously passed out, the various warning lights in the cabin were still flashing, and the siren was still beeping.

There was a faint and noisy sound coming from the communicator——

"Flight 522! Flight 522!Hear please answer! 』

"..."

The captain felt blackness in front of his eyes. Excessive hypoxia made him dizzy, his limbs were weak, and he had a serious feeling of wanting to vomit.

Confused, his eyes gradually closed together weakly. In the darkness that gradually closed up and down, the cockpit of the plane penetrated the clouds.

So the last thing he saw was the dazzling sunlight, covering it from top to bottom at this moment——

【Flight altitude: 24275 feet】

"Beep...beep...beep..."

Apollo Aviation Ground Maintenance Center

They were in a mess at the moment—the plane had lost contact.

"What's the reason? What did the plane say?" An Airbus engineer ran over and grabbed the liaison officer's arm: "What happened? What's the cause of the failure?"

"We lost contact!" The liaison officer broke free from the opponent's hand: "It is likely that he flew to another flight information region, and we are contacting the local air traffic control!"

"That's not a safe configuration warning light!" The first engineer gestured and shouted, "That's the warning light at cabin height! Damn—they'd get this mixed up!"

"Why did the warning light go off?" The Airbus engineer was at a loss: "It shouldn't be. Doesn't it mean that there is something wrong with the air conditioning system?"

"It's not cooling! It's not air-conditioning! It's depressurization!" The engineer's voice pushed away the debris on the table, grabbed a pen and marked a few basic numbers on it: "If their supercharging equipment is not automatic now, but manual If so, then when the plane exceeds [-] meters, the cabin is already—"

"The pressure imbalance has already begun, I understand this!" The Airbus engineer waved his hand: "So what do you mean now? That is a new plane! Didn't it check before that there is no problem? Why does the alarm system sound?"

"Because it's possible, their booster switch didn't change from manual to automatic." The engineer at the beginning said so, and then remembered something, and gradually opened his eyes.

He even slowed down the writing of the data, and wrote his last number on the paper with trembling hands: "What is their scheduled flight altitude?!"

The liaison officer's throat rolled: "Three, thirty-four thousand feet..."

【34000】

These Arabic numerals were written so sloppily that the last zero was not finished directly, only half written.

"Thirty-four thousand feet..."

The Airbus engineer stared at the numbers, opened his mouth, and murmured absentmindedly.

"What would happen if the plane loses pressure at this altitude?" The engineer, who knew the answer, turned his eyes in a daze and looked at the Airbus colleague.

The latter was suddenly alerted, and didn't answer him at all, but turned around and ran away abruptly.

Along the way, he knocked over two chairs and a colleague who just walked in with coffee, but he continued to run outside without even saying an apology.

"Thank you!" The colleague raised his hand and looked at the coffee stains on half of his body, and shouted at his back.

He looked at the half-empty coffee cup in his hand, and put it on the table helplessly: "What happened? He seems to have seen a ghost!"

"...if something happens, we can really see ghosts...it will be a group of ghosts..."

The engineer at the beginning put down the pen in his hand, sat down on the chair behind him slumped, and looked through the floor-to-ceiling glass window at the running figure outside.

The other party was sprinting in the direction of the flight attendant on the airfield, his figure was embarrassed and hesitant, like a child who was afraid of losing something.

"What happened?" The coffee engineer wiped his body with a paper towel, while picking up his poor half cup of coffee: "Are you playing charades?"

"I hope we won't see that tragic scene." The original engineer looked up at him with red eyes: "At an altitude of [-] feet, a depressurized plane, you know what the consequences will be."

"Consequences?" Taking a sip of coffee, the coffee engineer said displeased: "This is not a funny joke, it will suffocate the entire plane to death, if the pilot turns on autopilot, then this The plane will be like a ghost wandering the sky until it runs out of dye, and then falls like a bird with a broken wing."

As he said that, he smiled "ha—": "Bird with broken wings, does my metaphor sound like Shakespeare?"

"Apollo flight 522, that might be it." The original engineer covered his face. "We lost contact with them 10 minutes ago."

"...what did you say? Where are they?"

"Heaven, target altitude, thirty-four thousand feet—"

"Boom——"

The remaining half cup of coffee slipped from the engineer's hand, and a large gray-brown trace was smeared down his messy suit.

The cup fell to the ground and shattered, something, something shattered in the sun like this exquisite ceramic cup.

Then, the dark brown coffee, like dried blood, gradually spread in everyone's sight...

Chapter 670 0659-Wake Up (Not Counting Additions)

Airplane Cabin

At this moment on Apollo 522, the passengers in the cabin did not wait for the instructions from the cockpit.

The door of the cockpit is like a thick wall, hoping to be on the other side of the wall, but they are trapped on this side of the wall...

After the plane had pierced through the clouds and reached [-] feet and automatically leveled off, the whole plane fell into a strange silence.

The entire plane is still flying, and it is very stable, the lights in the cabin are bright, and even soft cabin music is automatically played,

But inside the entire plane, there was no human voice at all——

Thirty-four thousand feet, ten thousand and three hundred and sixty-three meters, the air pressure at this height wants to kill an adult, it only takes 360 minutes.

The impact of low pressure on the human body is not just as simple as thin air, but thin air is the most important form of expression.

As the height above the ground increases, the atmospheric pressure decreases regularly, and the lower the air pressure, the thinner the air and the lower the partial pressure of oxygen in the air.

As the oxygen concentration does not rise, the partial pressure of oxygen in the lungs also decreases, so that the hemoglobin cannot be saturated with oxygen, and hypoxemia will occur.

People who climb mountains may have experienced altitude sickness, but human mountaineering activities are naturally different from flying. Even if you climb Mount Everest, the peak air pressure is only equivalent to 0.3 atmospheres, but humans can still move normally.

We must know that in theory, if it exceeds [-] feet, human beings should experience muscle incoordination and fainting.

The fundamental reason lies in the adaptation process...

It only takes 10 minutes for the plane to rise to the sky, and the fastest world record for climbing Mount Everest is 8 hours.

Compared with the gentle process of mountain climbing, the oxygen provided by the oxygen mask on the plane can only last for more than ten minutes, because the original aircraft design took into account the flexibility of the aircraft.

If it can rise rapidly, it can naturally descend rapidly. As for the sudden change in air pressure?

Heh, compared to the suffocation of thin oxygen, isn't the sudden rise and fall of the air pressure considered a happy trouble?

So from the very beginning, the aircraft manufacturer has never specially arranged more reserves for this item, and the sky is not in the water, as long as it descends to 3000 meters, there is no need to worry about the lack of oxygen at all.

In more cases, oxygen masks are designed considering that the aircraft will lose pressure due to various accidents-for example, a broken window, or a sudden explosion after the aircraft door fails. The pressure difference will suddenly suck the air that was originally in the cabin.

Therefore, when the plane is lifted, there is a special automatic check, which is to check whether the oxygen mask has not moved in place, and an alarm will sound if there is a change.

But now this smooth-flying A320XLR single-aisle airliner doesn't have to worry about the sirens.

A group of ghosts, including 180 passengers, 6 flight attendants and two drivers, these 188 ghosts slowly entered the sky over Germany at this moment, and began their final journey.

But maybe things are turning around?

The record of the fastest climbing Mount Everest recognized by Blue Star is the 8 hours and 10 minutes record recorded when it was made public - the opponent is a Sherpa.

Although people of this race are widely distributed in different countries on both sides of the Himalayas, the other party can be said to be a race born and raised at the foot of Mount Everest. This fastest woman even later set a female record for nine consecutive summits. The mainstream society even specifically calculates "Sherpa records" and "other people's records" separately.

Because the social background of these shadow climbers is too weak, so weak that the mainstream society is unwilling to recognize their feat, and thinks it is just a means for them to make a living.

There is a saying in the mountaineering circle that as long as you have money, the Sherpas can even lift you up Mount Everest.

It's just that if someone finds Pam Duojihua and asks her opinion about climbing Mount Everest, then she may give another story that is not known.

It's also about a woman, and a young woman at that.

Back then, that woman came to Rongbuk Monastery in order to find the Hanging Monastery on Mount Everest.

But later she said that this was not the real Hanging Temple she was looking for. For this reason, the other party had gone up and down Mount Everest three times, and explored it from different directions.

Although she didn't get what she wanted, she created a record that even Sherpa's fastest girl stared at - reaching the summit in 6 hours and 47 minutes, and the opponent still set off from Rongbuk Monastery.

Rongbuk Monastery is at the northern foot of Mount Everest. There is only one monk on this highest temple in Blue Star.
