"Are you sure you have thought about it?" Lu Xinyu was shocked and confused by Xu Xian's crazy idea: "There is a strong thunderstorm in your area now. There is not only lightning, but also extremely strong turbulence, rain, and even hail. At the same time,

There will definitely be serious ice accumulation, do you really want to go down?"

Now the thunderstorm area below Xu Xian is not just about thunder and lightning. Generally speaking, the thunderstorm area is also accompanied by various other extreme weather, whether it is turbulence, hail, or ice accumulation, any of which will have a great impact on flight safety.

A big threat, not to mention, so much dangerous weather coming together.

Although the passenger aircraft was designed with operating conditions in extreme weather in mind, Lu Xinyu did not think that the 737 could really safely pass through such a strong thunderstorm area!

It was too risky, it was like risking his life! Even if he knew that the plane was also facing the threat of toxic gases, if he waited any longer, he would still be dead, but he really didn't have the courage to agree to Xu Xian's rush into the thunderstorm area.

As for the so-called opening of the window, it is not that Xu is crazy, but it is a practical operation method. In the smoke disposal procedure, there is a method of opening the side window on the passenger side to expel the smoke.

However, this method can only be used if it is confirmed that the source of smoke or abnormal gas comes from the cockpit. If the source of smoke or abnormal gas is elsewhere, this method will not work.

Now it is obvious that the abnormal gas source comes from the cargo hold. Even if Xu Xian opens the side window, it will not really solve the problem of poisonous gas spread. At most, it can only temporarily disperse the poisonous gas in the cockpit. As long as the abnormal gas source in the cargo hold is not

Even if it is cleared, toxic gases will still seep into the back of the cockpit.

Although this is a temporary solution rather than a permanent solution, when it comes to the final moment, it can only be delayed for a while, and we cannot just lie down and wait to die.

Compared to the idea of ​​rushing into thunderstorm areas and opening windows to drive out poison, Lu Xinyu had no objections.

However, the key to the problem now is not whether the window can be opened, but whether it can go down!

"I know!" The red spots on the body of the second flight attendant gradually appeared in Xu Xian's mind. This was a very bad sign.

"Some people on our plane have developed skin erythema, which is a symptom of cyanide poisoning!"

Lu Xinyu glanced at Cao Jinwen. Cao Jinwen quickly shook his head. Cyanide poisoning had touched his blind spot in knowledge and he could not give Lu Xinyu any help. Every pilot must receive dangerous goods training on a regular basis. This has nothing to do with whether the company transports dangerous goods or not.

In other words, in the past, even if Star Travel Airlines did not have the qualifications to transport dangerous goods, all pilots would receive dangerous goods training. The only dangerous goods knowledge that Lu Xinyu, Cao Jinwen and others had was obtained in dangerous goods training.

It is good enough that they know about toluene diisocyanate. As for the knowledge of cyanide poisoning, it is not included in the dangerous goods training courses. It is not a knowledge category that Lu Xinyu and Cao Jinwen can normally come into contact with. Naturally, they are not free at ordinary times.

To explore the relevant knowledge of cyanide. Knowing that cyanide is highly toxic is the limit of their knowledge.

Of course, only people with extensive knowledge like Xu Xian would know the symptoms of cyanide poisoning.

"Xu Xian, are you lying to me?" Lu Xinyu really didn't dare to make a decision about something he didn't know: "Toluene diisocyanate gas is also highly irritating to the skin. The erythema should only be caused by toluene diisocyanate.

Although toluene diisocyanate may produce cyanide after heating, the concentration is very low, and you should have extinguished the fire. Without high temperature conditions, toluene diisocyanate cannot produce cyanide. The oxygen supply of your unit is longer than the passenger time

If it takes longer, can't you just keep taking oxygen?"

The gas emitted by toluene diisocyanate is also highly toxic, but compared with cyanide gas, its toxicity is still less. Only inhaling high concentrations of toluene diisocyanate will cause serious adverse reactions in a short period of time, similar to

Conditions such as emphysema are relatively rare.

Of course, it is indeed quite difficult for toluene diisocyanate to decompose deadly toxic substances such as cyanide after heating.

However, a high concentration or dose of cyanide is enough to seal the throat with blood, and even if it is a little slower, it can kill someone within a few minutes.

But it has been almost ten minutes since the accident occurred in Xingyou 6333. So far, Xu Xian has not reported any deaths, which means that the concentration of cyanide produced is very low. So, low concentration or low dose of cyanide will cause

It takes a relatively long time for a person to die.

Moreover, there is a fire extinguishing bottle in the cargo hold. Even if the fire cannot be completely extinguished, it can lower the temperature of the burning material. Without a high temperature environment, the reaction of toluene diisocyanate into cyanide will be inhibited, so the situation is actually not that bad.

Oops.

Lu Xinyu didn't say it clearly, but his meaning was already clear.

Anyway, cyanide is mixed in the gas and absorbed by the human body. The crew only needs to wear oxygen masks. The crew's oxygen supply lasts longer than the oxygen used by the passengers, and it will most likely be able to support the plane until it lands. As for the passengers, if they use oxygen

What should we do if it's over? Lu Xinyu's implication is that everyone has to rely on his own ability and settle down with his destiny.

As long as the safety of the crew is ensured, everything will be fine.

This is almost a rational and almost cold-blooded decision, but it is also what Lu Xinyu considers to be the best plan after balancing all risks.

Compared with the toxic gas in the cabin that no one can measure, especially the concentration of cyanide contained in it, the danger of the thunderstorm area below the aircraft can now be quantified and estimated. This extremely huge thunderstorm cloud,

All the planes chose to fly around, and those that couldn't fly around all returned. This is evidence of how dangerous thunderstorm areas are.

Instead of worrying about whether the cyanide concentration in the cabin is fatal or not, he feels that making a choice is the right way to go.

Lu Xinyu's approach is quite cold-blooded. If Lu Xinyu's method is followed, even if the plane can land safely in the end, it is estimated that there will be a large number of casualties in the cabin. After all, the oxygen for passengers can only be supplied for fifteen minutes, and considering the current situation of Star Travel 6333

Altitude, as well as the additional time required to maintain altitude and fly over the thunderstorm area, the time required will definitely be much more than fifteen minutes. Then when the passengers run out of oxygen, the remaining time can only be carried by the passengers' own bodies, which cannot be carried

, then no one else is to blame.

This is indeed a very inhumane solution, but this solution has a high probability of surviving at least some passengers.

However, if you rush into a thunderstorm area, it is possible to directly destroy the machine and kill people, and this possibility combined with the intensity of the thunderstorm area is very high, which is almost a narrow escape.

Instead of everyone on the plane making chips and making a shocking gamble, Lu Xinyu preferred to make a guaranteed choice, because those gamblers usually ended up losing everything.

Cao Jinwen stood aside without saying a word. Sometimes, he really admired Lu Xinyu. He was so sensible that he did not mix in any emotions and could only analyze the gains and losses of interests. He was like a robot.

At least with his temperament, he would never come up with a plan like Lu Xinyu's.

"Mr. Lu, it seems that I didn't make it clear before, so I'll say it again, and there's a big problem with what you said."

Lu Xinyu frowned: "What did you say?"

"If you think the concentration of cyanide is not dangerous, it means you have no concept of cyanide poisoning. Generally, acute cyanide poisoning is divided into four stages. One is the prodromal stage, which is characterized by symptoms of eye and upper respiratory tract irritation, vision

Fuzzy. The second is the dyspnea period. In addition to chest pain, difficulty breathing, and palpitations, red patches will appear on the skin. Now we have some flight attendants with this symptom. The third is the convulsion period. At this time, there are already compulsions and bursts.

Paroxysmal spasms, even opisthotonus and incontinence. Finally, there is the paralysis stage. In the paralysis stage, people will quickly lose the ability to breathe on their own, eventually leading to death. Comas have been reported in the cabin, what do you think?

Can we wait any longer? Even if the plane can land, according to the current situation, no one in the cabin can survive. Do you dare to take this responsibility? "

In fact, the environment in the cabin is very complex, and those comatose passengers are not necessarily caused by cyanide poisoning. However, since the flight attendants have developed erythema on their body surface, it means that the cyanide concentration in the cabin is definitely not just talk.

, at least not to the extent that Lu Xinyu thought people could bear it.

Lu Xinyu was speechless by Xu Xian. He could not bear this responsibility, but he did not dare to agree to let Xu Xian rush into the minefield. If something went wrong in the forced rush into the minefield, the entire plane would be unscathed.

As a commander, he is bound to become a sinner. Even with Lu Xinyu's character, he would not dare to risk being nailed to the pillar of shame of civil aviation by agreeing with Xu Xian's crazy idea.

However, Xu Xian's words were not finished yet.

"In addition, there is something you don't know! Cyanide can not only be inhaled, but also directly absorbed by the skin, so even if you wear an oxygen mask, you will still be poisoned! You don't understand our situation at all, why are you commanding us?

Xu Xian made up his mind at this time: "Now that the captain cannot control the plane, I will take over the command of the plane! I have decided to start descending in two minutes. Please cooperate!"

Xu Xian is not reckless. At least he will not rush into the five or six lightning-intensive areas in front of him. He will wait for about two minutes to cross this lightning-intensive area before he chooses to descend. Even if he does,

, still extremely dangerous.

Lu Xinyu was going crazy. Until now, this was the first time he heard that the captain had a problem. Even Cao Jinwen next to him had a very ugly expression. It was really raining all night because of the leak. When something went wrong, the captain actually counted on him.

Not on.

"What happened to the captain?" Lu Xinyu asked anxiously.

Looking at Wang Qian who was still vomiting, Xu Xian could only say: "It seems that he has inhaled some toxic gas, and the vomiting is very serious now."

In fact, Xu Xian and Wang Qian were in the same environment, but compared to Wang Qian's extremely serious reaction, Xu Xian's condition was much better. Except for his slightly itchy throat and some soreness in his eyes, there was actually no pain in his eyes.

Special symptoms.

Sure enough, different physical constitutions will cause people to have different reactions to the same toxic substances.

"Then he can still hold the pole now?" Lu Xinyu was frightened: "Xu Xian, do you want to fly solo into the thunderstorm area?"

...

Ning Sheng was sleeping soundly when he was woken up by the rapid ringing of his mobile phone. He had been busy for a long time during the day, so after dinner, he did a little exercise to eliminate food and then went to bed. However, as luck would have it, he still

Couldn't get a good night's sleep.

Ning Sheng, who was a little angry when he got up, saw that it was the call from the operation control center and sighed, guessing that he had something to do with him again.

Because Ning Sheng is not only very capable, but also good at interpersonal relationships, he is very popular among leaders. Whenever there is a shortage of manpower in the company, Ning Sheng will be thought of. He belongs to me. He is a brick. Where can I go?

Typical where to move.

For Ning Sheng, who is very motivated, it is certainly a good thing to be respected by his leaders. But it seems that there is endless work to do, which is always a bit tiring.

Ning Sheng scratched his hair, rubbed his eyes, and answered the phone: "What's wrong?"

"Brother Sheng, the operation control center is now, can you come over and take a shift?"

Ning Sheng glanced at the watch on the bedside and felt a trace of reluctance in his heart: "Where is the person on duty?"

"Both Mr. Lu and Mr. Cao have something to do. Before leaving, I asked you to come over and keep an eye on them."

"I damn... thank them so much!" Ning Sheng thought in his heart, but he said: "Is there anything going on at the operation control center? If nothing happens, you guys should be busy on your own first. If anything happens, call me.

!I had a very early flight today, and after I came back, I went to work in the fleet all afternoon, and I couldn’t stand it anymore.”

In order to fly an early flight, Ning Sheng got up before four o'clock in the morning. After the flight, he went to the fleet to help without stopping. He didn't even eat lunch and worked until dinner time. He was really exhausted.

There is nothing going on in the operation control center most of the time, and many people on duty are not there all the time. Didn't Lu Xinyu take the time to give Qin Zongyang a theoretical inquiry before? He hurried over after something happened.

Therefore, Ning Sheng's request is not excessive at all.

"Brother Sheng, something happened! Otherwise we wouldn't bother you! There's no leader here, so it's hard for us to make a decision. You'd better come here quickly."

"What happened?" Ning Sheng dozed off and asked, "What happened?"
