Returning Home
"Director, Shu Hang 8633 has returned.”
Liu Feng pointed at the navigation map on the computer screen.
"Return? What do you mean?"
Ye Yiyun hurried over.
8633 drew a circle on the screen and circled around the edge of the cumulonimbus cloud.
"It seems that Captain Liu also wants to play it safe and doesn't dare to take risks easily.”
They still didn't know who was the real pilot of the plane.
"However, the plane is in a depressurizing state. At the current altitude, it won't be long before the oxygen in the cabin is exhausted, so the situation is not optimistic!”
"How much fuel does the plane have left?”
Ye Yiyun suddenly asked.
"The estimated remaining fuel is 27000 pounds, enough to fly back to Rong city.”
"Help me contact the Air Force. We have to prepare for the worst.”
"Yes, Director."
Forcefully charging into the cumulonimbus cloud was death, and flying around it was also death.
The only difference between the two was that one would die immediately while the other would die half an hour later.
But how big was the difference?
At this moment, Ye Yiyun had already tacitly admitted that 8633 had crashed. She had already prepared for the worst.
...
The plane drew a huge arc on the edge of the cumulonimbus cloud.
If one looked up from the bottom, one could clearly see that the plane's exhaust flames had shot out a standard circle.
“huh? wereflyigincircles? (Eh? Are we going in circles?"
A foreign young man sitting by the window looked out of the window in surprise and said to his girlfriend.
“what？”
When the girl heard that, she immediately became nervous.
"The plane is circling.”
The foreign youth suddenly shouted.
Everyone in the cabin heard his shout.
"What's going on?"
"Why are you going around in circles?"
"Aren't we going back?"
"What kind of plane is the captain flying?"
"Flight attendant, what happened? We have the right to know."
"I don't want to die, sob."
"Ah... How unlucky."
For a moment, panic spread in the cabin again.
" Everyone, please remain quiet. Sit down, sit down…"
Bi Nan and the others tried to calm everyone down, but in the face of despair, almost everyone would lose their rationality.
...
The noise in the cabin did not reach the cockpit.
Jiang Chen let go of the steering wheel and let the plane fly in a straight line.
The flight weather was completely different from the usual weather forecast.
Even if the sky looked clear from the ground, it was possible to encounter extreme weather in the air.
The cumulonimbus cloud was one of them.
If there was a thunderstorm.
Hehe, congratulations, you hit the jackpot.
Among the many types of weather, the biggest threats to aircraft were thunderstorms, low visibility, typhoons, ice, volcanic ash, and so on.
"I know…Where are we now?"
Jiang Chen asked in a hoarse voice.
"We should be circling above Jiajin Mountain at the moment. We're about 300 kilometers away from Rong city.”Xu Yu looked at the paper navigation map in his hand and replied.
300 kilometers would only take ten minutes if it was under normal circumstances.
But now, it was like a natural moat.
"Moreover, the plane has been depressurizing for more than 20 minutes. Our oxygen supply is already insufficient.”
"Captain, what should we do now?”
Xu Yu regarded Jiang Chen as his backbone.
What should he do?
Jiang Chen also wanted to know what to do.
"Go back…"
He gritted his teeth and said.
"Go back?"
Xu Yu was stunned.
"That cumulonimbus cloud is too big. We can't go through it directly.”
"If we don't pass through, we can only descend.”
Jiang Chen said. He controlled the rudder and adjusted the flight route again.
"However, the Qionglai Mountain Range where Jiajin Mountain is located is above 4000 meters above sea level on average. There are peaks above 5000 meters above sea level everywhere. Only some canyons are about 3000 meters above sea level. We must fly below 3000 meters to ensure sufficient oxygen. Can we fly below 3000 meters?”
Xu Yu asked.
The average altitude was 4000 meters, but not all of them were above that.
However, could you imagine a passenger plane flying between mountains and canyons? Even a fighter jet couldn't do this, let alone a medium-sized passenger plane.
"What if we go up to ten thousand meters in the air and circle around?”
Before Xu Yu could finish his sentence, he also denied this answer.
If they really climbed to an altitude of 10,000 meters, everyone would probably suffocate to death immediately.
Now, he was in a dilemma.
If the plane continued to hover above the plateau, the plane would be in a state of complete pressure relief in half an hour at most. Without oxygen, no one on the plane would be able to survive.
However, if they were to fly around, the oxygen in the plane would not be enough to support them.
Their only chance of survival was to force their way through the cumulonimbus clouds.
But that was a cumulonimbus cloud!
What was the difference between a plane entering the clouds and entering a charged blending machine?
"Let me think…Let me think…"
Jiang Chen murmured.
"There must be a way. We haven't reached the end of our rope yet…There must be a way, there must be."
As he spoke, he closed his eyes.
With a thought, he once again returned to the virtual world in the flight simulator.
That's right!
Since there was no solution in the real world, why not come to the virtual world to find the answer?
