Chapter 141: The Thoughts of the Past(1/2)

Chapter 141 The thoughts of the past without interruption! (Please subscribe!)

In the cabin, Xu Cang's nose wings fluttered, but he still didn't smell any so-called gasoline. However, asthma patients generally have a sensitive perception of abnormal smells than ordinary people, and Xu Cang did not dare to directly deny the middle-aged man's words.

With the guidance of the middle-aged man, the flight attendant quickly found a spray from his red backpack. He quickly handed it out. The middle-aged man took a few sips, as if he had tasted some fairy tasty and breathed a sigh of relief.

Most of these sprays are short-acting hormone drugs, which can greatly inhibit tracheal spasm, which is the crux of the difficulty in breathing when patients with asthma occur.

Generally speaking, this anti-spasmolar drug is effective very quickly. Within two minutes, the middle-aged man felt much more comfortable, and his breathing gradually calmed down. He didn't know whether it was caused by the lack of oxygen just now or the lingering fear of escaping from death. His face was still as white as paper, with no blood.

This man was polite. After recovering, he first expressed his gratitude to the flight attendant, and then patted Xu Cang's arm: "Little brother, I'm so embarrassed, I scared you just now."

He could imagine how scary he was just now, without thinking about it. I am afraid that it was not far from his dying look when he was hanging.

"It's okay, it's okay." Xu Cang quickly shook his head: "This is indeed quite sudden, but I'm fine."

The moment when the flight attendant turned on the lights and illuminated the man's face was the most terrifying, but the rest of the time was fine.

At this time, the flight attendant saw that the middle-aged man's breathing seemed to be normal, and asked, "Sir, do you need to change your seat? There are fewer people in the front row."

First class and business class are full of people, but there are not many people in the first three rows of economy class, and they are relatively empty, so they will probably be more comfortable.

Moreover, the location was very close to the front cabin workroom, and she could hear it with a little movement. The moment just now really scared the flight attendant, and she didn't want to do it again.

"Is that OK?" The middle-aged man was a little embarrassed.

At normal times, the flight attendant will definitely try not to let passengers change seats, but now there is so much to care about, so he nodded quickly: "If you want, I will go to the front later to coordinate and help you free up an empty triple seat."

The flight attendant looked at the table below and the plane was very stable at this moment. I think they could provide cabin service normally in a short while. At that time, she would be convenient for communicating with front passengers. After all, strictly speaking, she is now conducting illegal operations to leave the seat.

The middle-aged man also hopes that he will be more empty and comfortable to sit. He thanked him, "Yes, thank you."

"It should be." Seeing that the middle-aged man was in a normal mood and spoke clearly, the flight attendant finally completely relieved and escaped the disaster.

She had left the seat for too long, and it was time to go back first. She originally planned to give a few tips to the middle-aged man, but when she thought that when he had an asthma attack, he had lost his basic ability to move at all and could not count on him, so she noticed Xu Cang, who was sitting next to her and whispered: "Brother, I'll come over again in a while and ask me to take a look, okay?"

Xu Cang nodded: "It's okay, you go back first. It's been too long for you to stay here."

The flight attendant was very grateful. Then he glanced at the middle-aged man and confirmed that it was not hindered, he first returned to the front cabin work room. She did leave the seat illegally now, but depending on the situation, the problem can be big or small. When she went back, she had to explain the situation to the flight attendant below so that she could focus on the relevant personnel in the future.

After the flight attendant left, the middle-aged man lay back his head and tried hard to adjust his breathing. Even at this moment, his heart was still pounding.

Suddenly, Xu Cang's inquiry came from his side: "Sorry, I'm disturbing you to rest. What do you mean by smelling gasoline? I don't seem to have any problem."

The middle-aged man opened his eyes, shook his head, and frowned unconsciously: "Hey, it seems that there is nothing. Actually, I don't know much, I just feel it."

"That's it." Xu Cang was not too confused. In high altitude environment, there were sometimes some strange smells in the cabin, and it might not be the smell of gasoline.

In fact, there is no gasoline on the plane. The aircraft uses aviation kerosene, which is called No. 3 fuel in China. Although they are all fuel, the smells of the two are actually somewhat different. It is just that ordinary people are not good at distinguishing it, but they are generally considered as gasoline smell.

I looked out the window and found that the outline of the No. 1 engine was easy to distinguish in the slightly bright air. After listening carefully, the sound of the engine running seemed normal.

Shaking his head and expelling distractions in his mind, Xu Cang secretly laughed at himself for fear that it wasn't his nerves, and he was always wondering if something was going to happen to the plane.

Constrained a trace of vague perception of danger, Xu Cang put his knee on the back of the front seat and curled up his body again. Within a few minutes, as the flight attendant said before, she finished everything, and when the time was almost over, she left the front cabin and coordinated with the front passengers, quickly freed up her seat, and then went to find the asthma middle-aged man.

This time, there was also a flight attendant with the flight attendant. The flight attendant asked his flight attendant to lead the middle-aged man to the new seat in front, and he had something to say to Xu Cang in private.

At this time, Xu Cang moved his seat to the seat near the aisle, leaning against the window, and there was a handrail on one side. Xu Cang was sitting down, and the flight attendant bent down and asked, "Brother, I just looked at the first class cabin, but there was still an empty seat. Do you want to go to the first class cabin to sit?"

"No need." Xu Cang refused without thinking. The first class cabin was full of old men. He hated it so much that he could feel physically discomfort even when he breathed the same air as them.

The flight attendant didn't know what happened between Xu Cang and the old pilots in the first class in front of him. He said that Xu Cang was kind and immediately advised: "Brother, it's okay, there are not so many restrictions on upgrading the company's internal personnel."

"No!" Xu Cang knew that the flight attendant had misunderstood when he heard this, and was about to explain it clearly. However, his ears moved slightly and his breathing suddenly tightened. How could he feel that there was a trace of abnormality in the engine's running sound?

Seeing Xu Cang's sudden expression changed drastically, the flight attendant asked subconsciously: "Brother, what's wrong?"

"Quiet!" Just as Xu Cang's voice fell, bang! An extremely obvious and crisp sound came into Xu Cang's ears. Even in the noisy engine running, the sound was extremely obvious, like the sound of steel cracking.

At almost the same time, Xu Cang made an incredible sound: "The transmission shaft is broken!?"

To be honest, it is impossible to accurately judge what happened based on just one sound. However, Xu Cang thought of the possibility of the engine transmission shaft breaking at a nearly intuitive speed.

It seemed that in order to respond to Xu Cang's guess, the sound of gold and iron hitting one after another in the moment after the breaking sound almost overwhelmed the rumbling sound of the engine turning.

The movements were so huge that even the flight attendant could detect something was wrong. She stood up straight and looked at the direction of the No. 1 engine in confusion, because she roughly realized that the movement just now came from that direction.

Not only the flight attendant heard it, but the passengers who were slightly closer to the left engine basically realized something was wrong. The flight attendant was suspicious and asked first: "Brother, what was the sound just now?"

"Shi" Xu Cang just said a word, and the entire plane was as if it was twitched by a huge airflow, causing a terrifying vibration with an extremely exaggerated amplitude. Then the loud noise that seemed to explode in his ears resounded throughout the cabin.

With the loud noise, Xu Cang subconsciously covered his ears. However, he soon discovered that due to the sudden and violent shaking of the plane, the flight attendant was unable to stand firmly and was about to fall down.

The aisle of the plane is different from the flat ground. If the flat ground falls, it will be too big to scratch the skin. The aisle of the plane is too narrow. If it falls heavily and hits the seat parts, I really don’t know what to do.

Fortunately, Xu Cang had quick eyes and quick hands. He grabbed the flight attendant's wrist, then pulled it with the flow. With a cry of cry, the flight attendant sat directly into Xu Cang's arms.

The warm fragrance and soft jade came into my arms, and Xu Cang didn't feel anything at all. He just wrapped his arm around the flight attendant's soft waist and fixed it.

At the same time, Xu Cang faced towards the engine. Through the porthole, he clearly saw the tail nozzle of the No. 1 engine being spewed out the flames of the target, which was extremely ferocious.

"The engine exploded?" The moment that exploded out of thin air was too huge, and it was easy to associate it with the engine explosion. Perhaps no professional judgment is required, and even passengers who know nothing can tell it roughly.

It’s just that the key engine explodes is worth pondering.

After experiencing the initial shaking of the aircraft under the impact of the engine, the aircraft's fuselage quickly returned to calm and did not cause any particularly major state changes.

Xu Cang thought in his heart that it must be that Instructor Shi Qi's reaction was very fast, and for a moment he controlled the state of the plane that was about to lose control under the engine explosion.

It has to be mentioned that Teacher Shi Qi's technique is really fast and accurate. It is different from the engine failure or more similar to the engine fire alarm. Although the final result is the same, the process is completely different.

When the engine explodes, the air impact will cause huge changes in state of the aircraft body in a short period of time. Moreover, this process will be accompanied by sudden inconsistent thrust of the engine.

If it is a simple engine fire alarm, the engine's thrust may not undergo sudden numerical changes when the fire alarm occurs. In some cases, the engine can continue to operate under combustion conditions for a period of time.

Therefore, simple engine fire alarms often do not have too sudden engine thrust differences, but rather it is relatively easy to control the aircraft state.

On the contrary, if the engine suddenly stops the engine without warning, it is necessary to consider the state of the engine's state under different thrust. However, this does not mean that the engine fire alarm is easier to deal with than the engine failure. To a serious extent, the fire alarm is higher than the simple engine failure and shutdown.

This difference is reflected in the state of emergency. When the engine fire alarm is, the unit generally announces MAYDAY. If the engine is only shut down and fails, under normal circumstances, the unit will only announce PANPAN.

PANPAN is in an urgent situation, but it will not immediately threaten life safety. However, MAYDAY has directly affected life safety, and the urgency of the two is still somewhat different.

In civil aviation flight, no matter what model or stage of flight, as long as a fire occurs, it is a very high priority and needs to be dealt with immediately.

In order to land as soon as possible, even in some cases, behaviors beyond the norm, such as landing overweight.

The reason why fire alarms are so urgent is not only that it will cause system failures in many aspects, but also that fire alarms will extend a very difficult problem, that is, smoke.

Due to the need for boosting, if smoke rises in the cabin, you can't open the windows like a car on the ground. Of course, both Airbus and Boeing have smoke exhaust procedures, but given the special environment of the aircraft, the smoke exhaust efficiency is really worrying, and often the discharge efficiency is not as good as the speed of smoke generation.

Under tremendous psychological pressure, coupled with the sudden change in the aircraft state, there may be manipulation errors or slow reactions. However, in addition to the initial uncontrollable attitude changes, the aircraft will be quite stable in the subsequent time.

Xu Cang looked forward with his head tilted and looked along the aisle, and found that the cabins in front and behind seemed to be quiet and there was no obvious chaos.

Although engine explosions are very rare, so far, the situation seems to have stabilized. Moreover, the plane is not very long to take off, and it will not take too long to return.

In this era, many airports have not been built or opened, and there are actually not many options for route reserves. There are even a few airports like Qizhou with relatively good runway conditions, so it is a blessing to be able to return in a short time. If you listen carefully to the sound of the No. 2 engine, it is finally normal.

However, Xu Cang cannot trust his ears too much. Many times, failures occur in a moment, and it is impossible to say at all.

Just as Xu Cang was evaluating the situation, he felt a warm body in his arms move slightly, and Xu Cang realized that he was still holding the flight attendant.

After reacting, Xu Cang noticed that because he was too nervous just now, he wrapped his right hand around the flight attendant's waist and used a lot of force, so that the flight attendant's body was tightly fitted with Xu Cang.

"Brother, is it okay?" The moment Xu Cang reacted, a sound echoed in his ears as if he was about to temper Bailian into a soft finger.

Xu Cang quickly said, "Ah? Oh, it's okay."

So, he immediately let go of the right hand that surrounded the flight attendant. Instead, at this moment, the flight attendant's originally tight body suddenly became soft, just like the smoothest water.

After letting go of his right arm, Xu Cang thought the flight attendant would stand up on his own. However, after waiting for two or three seconds, he found that the flight attendant was still sitting in his arms, and the place where his body contact seemed to be getting warmer, as if Xu Cang was not holding a body in his arms, but a ball of flame that was about to ignite.

After waiting for a long time, Xu Cang wanted to pat the flight attendant, but he still paid attention and raised his hand to pat the flight attendant on the shoulder: "Is there any problem?"

"Ah? No!" The flight attendant immediately stood up after Xu Cang asked, and hurried to the front cabin workroom without even turning around.

Xu Cang touched his head: "What?"

At this time, in the cockpit, shortly after the No. 1 engine exploded, a large amount of ECAM consultation information emerged, and Wu Taiming felt dizzy.

As the power source of the entire aircraft, damage to any engine will cause a lot of fault chains, such as electricity, hydraulics, and flight control.

However, the most urgent thing is to light up the engine fire alarm light!

The engine fire caused by the explosion is urgently needed, and other situations can be slightly delayed, so that the primary and secondary must be distinguished.

However, Shi Qi did not only care about the fire alarm of the previous engine, but instead ordered Wu Taiming before doing everything, saying, "Start the APU!"

Wu Taiming was just shocked by the huge explosion, and his mind was a little dizzy until he heard Shi Qi's calm words, so he calmed down a little, and then he oh, and immediately started the APU.

Although the aircraft has automatic power switching, the APU's power should be connected to the system as quickly as possible to ensure that the aircraft is always under the supply of two AC power supplies.

Moreover, simply starting the APU is not complicated and will not waste a lot of time.

When an engine explodes, the initial drastic change in the state of the aircraft has already disconnected the autonomous driving. Shi Qi did not turn on the autonomous driving after correcting the aircraft state, but instead manually took over the aircraft. If it was just a simple engine problem, it could still be handled for Shi Qi.

After Wu Taiming finished starting the APU, Shi Qi directly received the thrust handle of the No. 1 engine to the slow train, and then signaled Wu Taiming: "The main power door of the No. 1 engine is closed."

This step is somewhat different from Boeing's fire alarm program. In Boeing's program, this action should be replaced by cutting off the engine starting handle on the corresponding side.

However, in a sense, Airbus's engine main electric gate and Boeing's starting handle have a lot of overlap in function, so in essence, this step can also be regarded as the same.

At this time, Wu Taiming was already extremely nervous, but he still relied on his instinct to follow Shi Qi's guidance, quickly positioned the main switch of the No. 1 engine, and then closed it.
