Mountains and seas have a home

Chapter 57 True Love in Adversity

Planes were parked in their berths, and the airport's runway was covered with snow.The searchlights were shining brightly, and the rows of warning lights glowed red, like burning red flames all over the sky, which was surprisingly bright and terrifying.Workers in winter clothing were clearing the snow, and a small orange forklift with two empty fork plates panted heavily and drove into the warehouse.Ji Yao stood under the sky for a while, he felt that the sky in Kazan was very peaceful.Fu Zhong walked around the plane and saw that the maintenance man had welded the last nail and was coming down the steps.

"The wing was broken on one side, and it was reattached. The tail has been burnt, but fortunately the turbine is still good." Fu Zhong put on his gloves and said to Ji Yao, "The fuel tank is full, and it can continue to fly for about 1000 kilometers. Three One of the wheels was broken, and it was too late to replace it."

Ji Yao stopped in front of the nose, staring at the huge nose wheel that was as tall as a person.After a while, without saying a word, he raised his head and stared at the scarred fuselage, and looked over the tail fin to the high sky.The dome slanted towards the west, thick black clouds rushed over the mountain, and a few invisible bullfinch showed their passionate and sweet singing in midair.Ji Yao glanced at the clock in front of the airport control tower, stood on tiptoe, and raised a pair of eyebrows with a worried face: "This is troublesome."

"Let's go." Fu Zhong said, he fastened his gloves and cuffs, narrowed his eyes worriedly and looked around the endless wilderness around him, "If we don't leave, it will be too late."

"Bon voyage." Ji Yao withdrew the worry on his face, smiled at Fu Zhong, calmly entered the cockpit and sat down to check the flight system, ready to set off again.

Fu Zhong locked the slide bar, dialed up the walkie-talkie and leaned against his lips, facing the open field outside the windshield and shouted.The take-off commander crouched behind him, and the shadow-like plane rushed into the runway following his gesture and quickly emptied away.

Constantine stood under the monitoring of the giant screen and looked at Ji Yao, but he knew that the other party could not see him.The flight test was supervised in an orderly manner in the master control center, and a separate screen was set up in the projection pool for Fu Zhong. Constantine stayed in front of this screen for a long time.Beijing just called a few minutes ago, and Konstantin hung up after listening.He was silent for a few seconds. After making up his mind, he leaned over and pressed the operator's shoulder and said softly, "Increase the Reynolds number in the fifth navigation zone to increase the intensity of turbulence."

The operator immediately entered the formula, and the red indicator moved up immediately until it was equal to the warning value.A tumbling airflow immediately appeared in the projection pool, and the high-altitude clouds were drawn into the near-ground area.At the same time, the monitoring screen of the Meteorological Observatory showed that cumulonimbus clouds were appearing over the city of Moscow, and the gust front moved east across the mountains in the suburbs.

"Sir, strong convective weather has been found at the terminal, and most airports in Moscow have issued warnings, delaying take-off and landing times. A strong front from the Arctic Ocean is about to arrive, should the risk factor in the fifth flight area be lowered?" a researcher from the meteorological station found Constantine, "If the Reynolds number continues to increase and the two sides are superimposed, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no accidents. Then we will die, and we will be crushed to pieces."

The Reynolds number indicator turned red and the alarm sounded.Constantine stood in front of the projection pool, and everyone in the main control room was staring at the turbulent airflow like a tsunami in the picture.In such a dangerous and terrifying flying environment that made many people daunted, a plane was passing through, and a bottomless gap suddenly opened in the silent dark clouds, shooting out a cold blue light.Red marker lights and strobe lights lit up next to the two air intakes of Ferret One, like a pair of vicious, sly eyes.

"This is currently the only candidate who has entered the fifth flight area, sir." The secretary of the base handed the file bag to Constantine, which contained the corresponding information sheet, "His total time is second only to the highest Record, a rare and outstanding executive."

Constantine took out the documents in the file bag and looked down.His eyes stayed on Fu Zhong's photo for a while, then quickly turned over, and saw Fu Yangxia's name again.Constantine bowed his head in silence for a while, closed the document, put it back in a kraft paper bag, and handed it to the secretary.However, he did not change his mind, and still turned back to the operator and said, "Don't worry, just keep this difficulty level, and if necessary, you can continue to increase it, and follow my orders. There is no peak in the record, and one day it will be replaced people break."

The growing turbulence tossed the plane up and down, and the dark sky was covered with equally dark clouds covering the horizon. Tonight was going to be another eerie night.They seem to be sailing on the raging sea, setting sail against the storm.Fu Zhong made the plane follow the flow of the airflow, and flying against the wind made him have to slow down.In order to let Fu Zhong focus, Ji Yao sat aside and remained silent, wisps of clouds coming from nowhere outside the window seemed to be discussing how to break through the window.

The terrible silence drowned out the whistling wind, the rumbling engine, and the faint thunder. The patched plane went up and down through the clouds and fog. The cold winter night made the plane and people exhausted.On the skyline was a coal-black cloud, and from there came a thunderclap, like the majestic roar of the Creator himself at the dawn of heaven and earth.

A ball of heating pushed the plane up, and Fu Zhong quickly stepped off the balancer, flattened the wings down, and dived in the opposite direction at the same time, breaking through the lowest layer of streamline and entering the safe zone.The clouds were left behind by him, and Fu Zhong took a look outside to observe the situation, and found that the red pines all over the mountains and plains were shaking like waves at this time.The sky was so strong that not a single point of light could be seen, so the darkness was able to stand there against the strong windshield, peering at the people in the cockpit with its motionless eyes.

The abnormal celestial phenomenon made Fu Xin feel ominous. He seemed to be frightened by his own thoughts, and the cold sweat that broke out in a blink of an eye instantly soaked the inner lining.In such a situation where the sky is wrong and the earth is not working, even the bravest explorer will tremble and tremble!Fu Zhong let the plane taxi smoothly for a certain distance, and secretly took a few glances at Ji Yao in this gap, hoping to find a kind of power from Ji Yao that would make him fearless.

No sound could be heard in the earphones, and Molos' announcement was also silenced.The thick clouds drifted quickly, covering his sight, like groups of ocean waves roaring around Fu Zhong's head all night.Airflow distribution diagrams on aircraft dashboards have become such a mess that they can no longer be used as a reference.Fu Zhong noticed that there was a front advancing in the northwest. This was a powerful cold front in the Arctic Ocean. The ultra-low temperature could freeze all the mountains and forests where it touched.The warning lights began to blink and flash, and at the same time, a harsh beep sounded.

At this time, there are still the last 200 kilometers away from Moscow, and Fu Zhong can even see the spire of the Kremlin.As long as he flew over two more mountains, he could successfully land at the Moscow General Office before the end of the exam, where the airport had been waiting for him for a long time.

Just thinking about it, the plane suddenly jolted violently.Fu Zhong immediately turned the plane to its side, trying to avoid a wall of wind like Mount Tai.However, before the plane left the interference area, the wind wall oppressed it in an instant, tearing out a huge crack in the wing that had already been broken once. "Ferret No. 37.3" was lifted high and high by the air current, and then one side collapsed, so it had to fall deeply.Fu Zhong was fixed on the seat, and the pressure in the cabin increased as the plane descended. The monitor reminded him that his body temperature had risen to [-]°C.

When the plane temporarily stabilized, it was still trapped in the whirlpool.Ji Yao managed to recover from the dizziness and let out a muffled cough. The suffocation feeling when he fell made his lungs expand violently, and his face soon turned gray.Ji Yao thought of the African battlefield in that short ten seconds, and remembered the last big sneak attack he participated in.Any kind of fall will make Ji Yao palpitate, sometimes he dreams that he has fallen into the water in his dream, and then he will wake up immediately with fright.

There was a rumbling thunder from the dark dome, like the noise of gunfire. This sound made Ji Yao's nerves tense involuntarily and his whole body stiffened, as if he was in a trench where bullets and mud were flying everywhere. He was about to launch a charge.He opened his eyes wide and looked around vigilantly and terrified, holding the gun tightly with both hands, trying to avoid it, but he didn't know what he wanted to avoid.Heat wave, smog and jungle, purple thin smoke floated in front of Ji Yao's eyes, the tunnel opened its dark and evil mouth, and then someone jumped down without hesitation.

"Proctor." Fu Zhong suddenly shouted softly, he noticed Ji Yao's strangeness, "Are you all right? Don't worry, we will be able to rush out of this wind zone soon."

Ji Yao tried her best to get the fear out of her mind, but things backfired.He squeezed his fingers to resist the discomfort of vomiting, scanned the dark and noisy sky outside the windshield, and suddenly stretched out his hand to hold the missile launcher: "Where is the gunshot?"

Fu Zhong was so frightened that he held his hand tightly so as not to actually launch the missile.Fu Zhong knew what Ji Yao was afraid of, so he quickly clasped his fingers and said, "There is no gunfire, sir, don't be afraid, it's just thunder. Don't be afraid, we are safe and there is no war."

"I heard the boom of shells exploding, are they attacking us in the air? Where are they? It's too dark, I can't see anything!"

"No, sir, really not. Calm down, it's thunder, trust me?" Fu Zhong said eagerly, turning his head several times to look into Ji Yao's eyes, "We still have less than 200 kilometers to go. It's time to land, soon, we'll land right away!"

Ji Yao leaned on the back of the chair and panted heavily, but still felt short of breath and her lung cavities were empty.He squeezed his eyes shut, let go of his fingers on the launcher, and shook his head. "I thought it was fighting again—it's so dark it's driving me crazy!"

Fu Zhong grabbed his wrist and said loudly to him in the noisy alarm: "There are only 125 kilometers left, soon! When I fly over, I will be fine, and it will be over!"

The violent wind outside the window is like a crazy giant, roaring towards the mountains angrily.Fu Zhong even saw a fierce front extending thousands of kilometers, sweeping everything, the land was as deep as the ocean, and there was no place for the plane to stay.The sky and the earth were the same color, and thick cumulonimbus clouds pressed on the spire of the Kremlin, almost destroying the entire city.Now the strobes and lights of Ferret One were lost in the black velvet of night, in the boundless darkness, in the boundless expanse of sky and earth.

The tail of the plane shook violently, Fu Zhong slid out of the vortex along with the wind, and he jettisoned the third auxiliary fuel tank while plunged into the narrow flow.Ji Yao calmed down a little, he controlled his emotions and didn't make a sound.Fu Zhong asked him: "Sir, will we be defeated?"

"No, we can't be defeated." Ji Yao shook his head, he held the handle of the gun tightly, and stared at the open road ahead with his bright and piercing eyes.

"I saw the lights of the city," Fu Zhong said, he tilted the nose of the plane, turned and slid away in the laminar flow, "and the spire of the Kremlin. Sir, you must have seen it when you were studying in Moscow The spire countless times, right?"

A large tear suddenly fell from Ji Yao's eyes, he blinked hastily, and replied unintentionally: "Yes, I have seen it many times. But I haven't watched it with you."

The front arrived at this moment, the chaotic clouds became more and more noisy, and the windshield of the plane was shaken and trembled.Fu Zhong slammed on the brakes so hard that the control lever was almost broken, but the plane still rolled uncontrollably to the south.In an instant, the plane completely reversed its direction, and for a while, the "Ferret One" rolled violently in the clouds.The bodies of the two people who were buckled on the seats by the seat belts instantly became extremely heavy, and before they could react, they fell down with the deviation of the plane.

The momentum in the turbulent area still hasn't diminished, plus the front has cut in, the raging strong wind can cut off an entire forest in half, and it is this terrible force of nature that is tearing the two wings of the plane.The plane is like a poor toy to the whole sky, and it is increasingly difficult to navigate through the impenetrable turbulence.Fu Zhong received a notification from the Meteorological Observatory and learned that the front was about to enter a strong convective area, and that there was going to be a torrential rain that was about to pour into the city of Moscow.

The outline of the airport can be vaguely seen in the field of vision, and the dark towers grow in clusters at the end of the vast flat land, and they are angrily glaring at the white searchlights to guide the pilots.The mountains in the suburbs are covered with white snow, and the red pine and windbreak forests spread to the horizon as if they were boundless. These forests look coldly at Wanhui like a cold night, as if they have died.

Ji Yao glanced at the beating numbers on the wind gauge, and his heart immediately tightened.At this time, the altitude of the plane was only 1000 meters, and it was rolling like falling leaves in the strong wind.The violent collision caused blood to flow from Fu Zhong's forehead, and the back of his head hit the hard wallboard and windshield lock, making his mind buzzing, and his stomach also turned upside down.Ji Yao stabilized him, and pressed the walkie-talkie to access the main control room: "This is 'Ferret One', we encountered natural wind shear, please reduce the turbulence intensity! Repeat! Please be sure to reduce the turbulence intensity! complete."

The operator looked up at Constantine, waiting for his instructions.Constantine stood silently in front of the screen, unmoved.Soon, Ji Yao heard Molos' voice coming into the microphone: "It's a pity that we can't meet your request, and you have no right to change the difficulty of the exam. Natural disasters are inevitable, and this is not within the control of the exam. There are still 75 kilometers to reach the finish line, and there are still 15 minutes before the end of the test, I wish you good luck."

"I'm about to enter the downdraft, with a diameter of 2.8 kilometers!" Fu Zhong reminded him loudly, "Please put on your breathing mask, fasten your seat belt, and confirm that the ejection handle is normal! The plane will be violently turbulent later, and I will try to keep my balance! "

"Control the tilter well, and don't let go if you step on the emergency brake! Look for the minimum wind area, and don't go against the wind, otherwise the whole plane will be pulled off!" Ji Yao took off the walkie-talkie and put on a mask, connected to the ground transfer station, "Attention Moscow Airport, this is Ferret No. 99.7, identification code RTG-80-M20100105484. Candidate [-] has arrived. We encountered strong convection and wind shear. The situation is bad. Request an emergency landing! Emergency landing! Please prepare for the ground personnel and rescue measures !"

"The ejection handle has been confirmed and is normal. The nose wheel is normal, and the rear right brake wheel is malfunctioning. We need to intercept the net!"

"Moscow airport control tower received, the interception net is being deployed. 'Ferret One', follow the emergency procedures, and the tower will guide you. All aircraft that are still in the control area and have not landed, please delay the approach, climb higher, Waiting for instructions from the tower."

Fu Zhong's heart was about to jump out of his chest, and the yellow light on the monitor changed to red, showing that his temperature was 38°C and his heartbeat was 100 beats per minute.The plane fluctuated in the air, and the internal organs of the whole body seemed to be throwing a hydrangea ball, which was unbearable!The ultra-low-altitude downdraft with a diameter of less than 4 kilometers can cause a large passenger plane to crash directly, but now its diameter has shrunk to 2.3 kilometers, and "Ferret One" has undoubtedly entered a bottomless pit.

"The current glide passage is far lower than the normal scheduled passage, sir, help me remove the last auxiliary fuel tank!" Fu Zhong said to Ji Yao, "Remove everything that can be thrown away, and reduce the weight!"

The auxiliary fuel tank fell in response, and the plane rose a little bit, and it seemed that the situation was about to be reversed. However, when the angle was changed, a gust of strong wind unexpectedly attacked from the flank.Although Fu Zhong stepped on the brake calmly and quickly, the whole plane was pushed down tens of meters by the wind, and the left wing broke off immediately.Ji Yao pressed the walkie-talkie to prevent it from slipping, and raised his hand to protect his head: "Airport tower, we have run out of fuel and are descending rapidly! The current altitude is 500 meters, and we will enter the field immediately!"

The fuselage was tilted at ninety degrees, the windows were completely shattered, and the fragments were stuck into Fu Zhong's windbreaker, and blood immediately gushed out mercilessly.Ji Yao pulled the seat belt to help him hold the wound, Fu Zhong wanted to push him back to the seat, but Ji Yao's strength seemed to have increased ten thousand times, it was simply infinite.Fu Zhong had no choice but to concentrate on dealing with the imminent forced landing.At this time, Ji Yao felt that his panic disorder had eased a little, and he could only adapt to this environment.

"This is the airport control tower. 'Ferret One', please land on runway [-], the runway is cleared, and the emergency lights have been turned on for you, please land immediately. The tower calls all aircraft in the control area, please climb high, and do not enter temporarily Field, follow directions."

The pouring rain finally came down, washing over the windshield and pouring into the broken porthole.The plane broke through the downdraft and was plummeting downward.Fu Zhong resisted the excruciating pain in his arm, the glass shards cut all the blood vessels, and the blood splashed onto the seat.The extreme lack of oxygen and the lack of blood supply to the brain caused double images to reappear in front of Fu Zhong's eyes. Countless lights flashed in the torrential rain, and the altitude of the plane dropped from 350 meters to 275 meters, and then to 200 meters, 100 meters... .

In the tens of seconds before the nose wheel of the plane hit the runway, Fu Zhong could only hear Ji Yao's voice.Ji Yao crossed his body and slammed on the brake, quickly lowered the lift lever, and lowered the rear pulley.The third pulley was broken, and the moment it touched the ground, it broke the axle, and the whole thing was ejected, flying down on the lawn not far away.The fuselage vibrated violently, and after bumping for a certain distance, it slanted out of the runway. The right wing firmly pressed against the ground, and a large group of sparks burst out.

The unbalanced plane suddenly sank to the right, and after a loud noise, Fu Zhong saw a steel plate in front of the wing flying up, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.The cabin hit the ground, rolled and slid off the runway, leaving a deep, charred trail on the ground.Dense black smoke poured into the cab, mixed with the pungent tar smell, Fu Zhong hurriedly covered his mouth and nose.At this moment, he found that the electronic instruments in the cockpit had started to catch fire, and the engine was making abnormal noises, as if a beast was about to break out of its cage.

"Captain Fu, jump off first! I'll control the plane for you! Hurry up, soldier!" Ji Yao pushed Fu Zhong to the window frame, replaced the balance wheel in Fu Zhong's hand with one hand, and at the same time turned back the roof slide. lever, flip the top cover back.

With the world spinning, Fu Zhong suddenly hugged Ji Yao into his arms, clasped his arms, and pressed his head into the socket of his neck.Just as Ji Yao was about to scold him, Fu Zhong had already seen the right moment and jumped out of the open roof with him in his arms.At the same time, the out-of-control plane was caught by the interception net. After decelerating, there was a deafening explosion. The flames shot straight into the sky, and the splashing steel plates broke the glass of the airport corridor. The downpour made the flames even more dazzling.Ambulances and fire engines came from the side with their sirens, and the rescue team in raincoats rushed to the scene of the accident immediately.

The heavy rain washed a messy lawn with its unique pride.After jumping out of the cabin, Fu Zhong turned around in the air, putting his back on the ground so that Ji Yao could stay in his arms so as not to get injured.The moment he landed on the ground, the back of Fu Zhong's head was hit violently, and an explosion-like dizziness swept his whole body, his eyes could not see clearly, only the black vortex.The dazzling white light of the aviation lights, the black clouds, and the endless, silent spider web hovered in his mind that was about to lose consciousness for a long time.

He heard Ji Yao calling his name, and covered his cheek with his hands.Those hands were icy cold, as cold as the rain on the face in this winter.Suddenly, a drop of warm water dripped on the side of the cheek, followed by the second and third drops.

Fu Zhong knew it wasn't rain, and tenderness arose in his heart. This kind of tenderness was only felt for Ji Yao.Fu Zhong wanted to raise his hand to wipe away Ji Yao's tears, but his body couldn't control his body, his limbs seemed to be cut off, and he didn't feel the slightest.The eyes became more and more blurred, everything was mixed together, it was as black as spilled ink.He felt very sleepy, so sleepy that he forgot the way he came from and the way back, who was holding him, and who was crying in his neck.

The ears gradually became noisy, and many people surrounded him, and then Fu Zhong felt that he was out of someone's arms, was lifted up, put on a stretcher, and sent into the narrow compartment.

Ji Yao wanted to go with the ambulance, but the guards kept blocking him, urging him to go somewhere else.The doctor who came along with the rescue team immediately cleaned up the glass scratch on Ji Yao's palm and wrapped him with a protective belt.A woman opened an umbrella to shield Ji Yao from the rain: "You need medical assistance. Come with me, your special car is waiting outside the airport."
